Chapter 147 – What is the truth and what is a lie?
Obviously, I couldn’t see the monster’s figure, but I could hear its roar very loudly, as if it were close by.
The aftermath was so strong that a small wind, believed to have been caused by the monster’s roar, blew away the dust.
In addition, a few students from the combat and support groups collapsed on the ground, feeling weak in their legs, possibly due to hearing the monster’s roar.
“Quit!”
“I have no strength in my legs…”
“Everyone, don’t be afraid and wake up!”
When I heard the monster’s roar, the reason my legs relaxed was because of a certain power contained in that roar.
People cannot distinguish the sound accurately, but a predator’s roar contains a special frequency wave that temporarily paralyzes motor nerves.
When I heard the sound of that frequency range, my motor nerves were temporarily paralyzed, and my legs lost strength.
This is the reason why a person who hears the roar of a beast cannot run away and is eaten because his body does not follow him, even though he thinks in his head that he must run away.
So, this is why the students in the battle and support groups who are here now don’t feel the strength going in, no matter how much strength they put into their legs.
After about 1-2 minutes, the paralysis will go away and the strength will come back, but that time was enough for the predator to put a stop to the prey’s breath.
“Let’s just wait a little bit until everyone gets stronger in their legs.”
Adalbert was one of the few people who did not lose strength in his legs despite the monster’s roar.
Of course, Adalbert was a strong man who had to stand in the position of a predator, not a prey, so the roar of a tolerable monster could not pose a threat to the extent that his legs were weakened.
Jason was a little nervous at the monster’s roar, but he couldn’t show the ugliness of sitting down on the ground because his legs weren’t strong enough.
However, when he saw Adalbert, the leader of the support team, standing upright without any movement, he was convinced that his thoughts were not wrong.
“Ah, yes. Let’s do that.”
That uprightness that does not give way to the monster’s roar was the spirit that only the strongest mercenary called the White Death God could display.
–
Adalbert and Jason, along with the members of the crew who had regained some strength in their legs, moved to find another safe place.
The first temporary shelter was confirmed to be unsafe due to the shaking that had just occurred, so we had to find another place.
“Captain. By the way, what kind of creature is that tremendous roar?”
As we were moving to find the second temporary shelter, one member of the support team asked Adalbert a question.
This member was the same student who heard the monster’s roar earlier and collapsed on the ground because his legs gave out.
“I’m not sure either. One thing is certain, the monster’s roar I heard earlier is the sound of a monster that has never been discovered before.”
Adalbert said his thoughts while looking at his teammates who asked him a question.
He had dealt with many monsters up to now, but he had never heard of a monster’s low-pitched roar, nor had he ever found it in the records.
There may be some similarities with the Earth Dragon in that it makes the ground shake when it appears, but the sound made when the Earth Dragon roars is not that low.
On the contrary, it was a high-pitched, tearing sound that made people’s skulls shake and make them dizzy.
The monster’s roar that he and his crew and others had just heard was like a boat horn that had been lowered to the next level.
It was as if the sound did not come from creatures of this world.
“Wait a minute.”
When Adalbert thought that the sound that creature made was not that of this world, he felt a flash of something flash through his mind.
A sound I’ve never heard before.
That said, the possibility that the monster was not from this world, but from another world, could not be ruled out.
It was only then that Adalbert was able to recall the memories of the past.
Monsters from the other world called by evil spirit followers from another world.
The monsters didn’t make a high, tearing sound.
On the contrary, they were beings that made a slightly low yet resounding sound.
‘Ha, you stupid bastard. Why didn’t I know that?’
Adalbert tried to share what he thought with his teammates.
However, I soon discovered that there was a problem.
“Did you find anything?”
“Or do you have something in mind about that monster?”
The members of the crew were looking at Adalbert with curious eyes, but he couldn’t bear to open his mouth.
To prove that monster is from another world, you must prove that you fought a monster from another world.
However, there was no way to prove it.
At that time, another flash of Adalbert passed through Adalbert’s mind.
‘Right! He was there!’
Adalbert was thinking hard in his head about what to make an excuse for, and at that time, a relationship he had met before came to mind.
‘There was a wandering scholar’s grandfather.’
What came to his mind was the face of an old man he had met before.
Calling himself a wandering scholar, he told many stories, including stories about monsters from other worlds.
Adalbert knew that he, who had been wandering around the world acquiring knowledge, was last heard from when he was exploring the labyrinth.
‘Sorry. Grandpa, a wandering scholar. I’ll borrow your name.’
Adalbert slowly opened his mouth, conveying his apologies to the old relationship, whether he was alive or dead.
“Does anyone know anything about the Wandering Scholar?”
“Bah, the wandering scholar? The one called the greatest sage of our time?”
“Couldn’t he have met him?”
As soon as the name Wandering Scholar came out of Adalbert’s mouth, the eyes of the students belonging to the support group changed.
They approached Adalbert with their eyes shining like beasts facing their prey.
“Yes. I had a chance to accompany him in the past, so we talked about it.”
“Wow, I’m envious. Are you really a person who doesn’t know anything as rumored?”
From noble mtl dot com.
“Yes. What I am telling you now is the story the Wandering Scholar told me.”
As soon as the word came out of Adalbert’s mouth that it was a wandering scholar, the members of the support team changed their attitude to listen as if they would not miss a single word of Adalbert’s words.
Even some of the combat team members listened to Adalbert’s story.
“He said that sometimes monsters living in other worlds come to this land by the hands of people who made the wrong choices.”
Adalbert first got lucky with the story of a wandering scholar.
“You said that those monsters look and live differently from monsters in this world. And one peculiar thing is that their roars are completely different from those of monsters in this world.”
As Adalbert talked about the difference between the roars of monsters from this world and those from another world, the quick-witted members of the support team began to change their complexion.
“That, can’t you say that?”
“I’m sure you’re right. Perhaps, I can only guess that the roar I heard just now is from a monster from another world.”
“Huh.”
“Damn it.”
As Adalbert quoted the wandering scholar’s explanation and claimed that the roar he had just heard was from a monster from another world, sighs flowed from the support and combat crew members.
The fact that a monster from another world appeared also meant that this practice could end in a very bad way.
“Judging from the low pitch of his voice and the immense power contained in it, I think it can be assumed that the monsters from another world that appeared nearby are very strong individuals.”
“So, can we survive?”
“Well…”
Adalbert hesitated at the question of one of the members.
As a sword master, he could have survived and escaped, but he couldn’t give a definite answer about the chances of others surviving.
“First of all, we need to make sure the teleport gate is safe.”
“Ah! A teleport gate!”
The most important thing was whether the teleport gate was safe.
What if the teleport gate was broken?
They had to survive in an unknown place in the unexplored area without any promise of being able to return amidst the threat that monsters from another world might appear at any time.
But there were things that Adalbert knew and others didn’t.
Now, it was said that the supervisor of the Noble Academy, who had been dispatched for practice evaluation, was following them.
Of course, they contacted Noble Academy to find out what had happened, and now Noble Academy is in an emergency and an urgent meeting of professors has been called.
