我唾弃你的坟墓1

Everyone simply watched proceed forward without commenting or trying to stop him, after all very few would be willing to risk their lives by entering.

Even Juliet stayed back, hoping she would get to see him fight seriously perhaps, whereas Lady Rose looked more relaxed than anyone else. In her mind someone like Aron wouldn't do something without some certainty in the results to come.

Meanwhile inside the building, Aron's gaze focused on the floor where a fresh bloody trail could be seen. What caught his attention however was that they were other dried up bloody trails covering the floor, some leading to other rooms whilst others extending to the damaged marble like staircase.

'The other trails can't be more than a few days old.' Aron thought momentarily, wondering if perhaps they belonged to the Aethelians who had already. Without much to go on he could only shake his head before choosing to follow the freshest trail, the one that lead to another room on the same floor.

Without hesitation he began heading towards the room without even bothering to wield his axe or arcane guns. The building was far to deteriorated to go around shooting the structure while the space was too narrow to use his axe.

'I should invest in a short sword for situations like this.' He thought before coming to a stop near a shattered door to his right hand side. He stood a few feet away from it and hesitated to approach it as he could tell the creature was likely waiting for him.

He knew this from the ever increasing pungent smell of blood the closer he got to the shattered door. With this in mind he crouched to pick up a shattered piece of rubble before to tossing it on the door.

"Sheee!!"

The second the piece landed on the ground in front of the door, the creature lunged forward and extended it's freakishly long arms forward at a frightening speed, almost like a spring.

If he had chosen to approach the entrance then those hands would have most definitely collided with him or at the very least scraped him.

'There you are.' A smile appeared on Aron's face but he spoke no words, due to the lack of eyes on the creatures face he could only assume it responded to either sound or motion.

After attacking nothing, the creature indeed looked confused. Aron used that moment to rush forward and close the already small distance between him and it.

As soon as he moved it turned it's head to face him and looked ready to attack him again, unfortunately for it he had lunged first thus reaching striking distance before it could respond accordingly.

"Shee!"

Crack!

Aron landed a vicious punch on the creature's shoulder, right where one would expect to fight the connection between hand and main body. He did this because to him the most dangerous feature on the creature so far where it's hands.

The creature let out an atrocious whistle like howl while jerking in all directions, forcing Aron to jump back and avoid it's hits.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

After getting some distance between the creature and himself, Aron began clapping loudly in odd directions. This confused the creature as to where exactly he stood since his body remained stationary.

When he clapped to his left, the creature extended it's left hand at that point, narrowly missing his wrist. This left the opening Aron needed so he once again lunged forward and hit the creature with immense force on it's shoulder bone, shattering it in the process and tearing the ligaments attaching it to the collar bone,

"Shree!!"

It once again howled in pain and jerked it's body, however it's hands only flailed around with no control, completely harmless now.

Bam!

While jerking it's body it lost balance and feel over itself pitifully, landing right before Aron's feet while being unable to get up anymore. It's hands acted the same way they would for an ape, they helped in it's general movement despite the creature looking bipedal.

It's legs alone couldn't support it's upper body weight, let alone allow it to continue standing. Just like that the creature had lost to what it assumed would be it's helpless prey.

….

Meanwhile everyone outside looked at the building with varied expressions once the howls of the creature had stopped along with the sound of the banging.

"Shouldn't someone umm… check?" Sebastian asked nervously making sure to stay close to Jagu. In his mind if someone like Aron met an untimely fate there then it would be bad for the rest of them.

"Are you volunteering?" Jin asked mockingly with a smile on his face causing Sebastian to just look away with an embarrassment expression while shaking his head.

Before more words could be exchanged, Aron walked out from the building while dragging the creature by it's leg. What made this sight so strange was that there wasn't a drop of blood on his figure, even the creature itself had no open wounds.

This begged the question, just how did he capture it so quickly?

Thump!

Aron soon tossed it's body a few feet away from group, allowing them to see it more clearly.

"What is that thing?" Anastasia came forward to look at the creature with a narrowed gaze and look of slight disgust. The others shared a similar sentiment as they all glanced at it oddly.

"Shee…!"

Just as they were doing so, the creature suddenly jerked it's head and howled towards them causing many to step back in fear. They had all assumed it was dead.

"I have no idea, whatever it is it's harmless now. However it might be the reason we aren't seeing signs of the Aethelian group that entered this ruin prior to our arrival" Aron replied while giving a kick to the creature's face.

His interest in it had not completely declined but he still found it… lacking. As a beast mongers he naturally had interest in mana beast and creatures similar to that.

W

The creature before him however didn't fit the bill, it was definitely an oddity that didn't fall into the realm of the knowledge he was currently in possession in thus he brought it out in hopes of having some light shed on the matter.

"We have no time to gawk at every little creature we encounter, there'll be time to experiment after the expedition." Lady Rose turned to face the creature with little interest and gave these words to everyone although it did feel like she was speaking to Aron directly like always.

Aron simply glanced at it one more time in the corner of his eye before returning to his position in the formation's rear alongside Juliet who hadn't commented on the matter.
