Humanity Return

Ch. 144 – Situation They All

Leinn looked at the fog of sight that appeared as the sudden dust fog slammed away due to the roar of the black Mountain Crawler, which was, which turned out to still be stuck in the large basin on the wall of the stone mountain while shaking his left hand which began to feel a little sore several times.

“Oh, it doesn't look nice”

“Leinn?”

Leinn immediately turned his head towards Roland who had already pulled out his sword which was already covered in a thin layer of lightning. This time the smile on his face was being accompanied by a clear eyebrow frown as well.

“B” Situation

“Means, B” Plan

Roland immediately turned his head towards the golden bird that seemed to instantly understand and spread both wings.

Rufus also only turned his head towards the black Mountain Crawler in the distance for a moment before turning his huge body over from the two youths.

“Caw!”

“Ruff”

The white wolf and golden bird immediately ran and flew towards the foot of the mountain, where the city of Adamant was located.

“Ah... troublesome once”.

Leinn had just finished tying the handle of his sword on the right side of his waist and patted both of his hands a few times, removing the chipped skin and showing his already-looking hand almost fully healed.

Roland only shook his head twice before turning back to notice what was going on in front of him.

Rumble-boom down!

The Black Mountain Crawler managed to wriggle out of the hole in the mountain and landed hard on the ground surface. Now the state of his body could be clearly seen, with one side of his body that already had no layers of hard black stone before and was showing a clear layer of red stone, which also has been peeled in some parts and secretes large amounts of red liquid.

A psssh!

White steam began to fill the air and the temperature in the area was noticeably starting to increase at high speed, with a red puddle that began to form under his body. He also seems to have difficulty moving as before and just stay there while moving his half-torn head gradually.

Rumbles...!

But the shock that was now clearly not produced by the Black Mountain Crawler in front of them was starting to get stronger and finally - the

Rumble-booms!

Five, ten, twenty Mountain Crawlers leaped out from the mountain wall behind that Black Mountain Crawler simultaneously, of varying sizes. The smallest one is visible is still 3 meters long, but some others can be seen already penetrating 10 meters. They all moved without further ado and very quickly towards the two humans in front of them, intending to grind them down mercilessly.

Leinn and Roland of course knew that the reason it happened was because they were between that rock mountain and the city of Adamant behind them, the extremely rich with stones were extremely precious to the dozens of Mountain Crawlers in front of them.

The completed evolution of the Black Mountain Crawler made their reason for being orderly become no more, no more, in addition to the two attacks from Leinn and Roland earlier also made them think that this mountain became a dangerous place.

Their Beast instincts covered their newly formed intelligence and forced them to run away from this place, but that instinct is also what makes them move towards the place with ingredients that will help them get stronger.

This was also the reason Aura asked them to put the priority of exterminating the Mountain Crawler that came out of that rock mountain, because if they failed and all those Beasts managed to obtain all the precious materials in that city, it would be possible to obtain all the precious materials in that city, Situation D will happen.

“I'll take care of the small”

Situations where multiple Rank B+ or even another Rank A Mountain Crawler will appear simultaneously. This would cease to be a matter of Adamant city alone and would endanger all surrounding cities, even Blazing Sun City.

Leinn began to count the number of Mountain Crawlers that kept emerging from the mountain while pulling out his black sword sheath from his waist and holding it like a sword. His left hand also pulled out the four Rank B Beast Cores he had just obtained from one of the missions in the past two weeks.

Roland started to check the condition of the Black Mountain Crawler in the distance and recalled some of the already exposed parts and made his movement plan very quickly. Roland grabbed back the four cracking rings that had already emitted a small lightning bolt from their cracks.

The two of them then exchanged glances for a moment before kicking the ground forcefully

[First] [Gear]

Purple Mana and Golden Mana instantly burst out from the bodies of the two youths, enveloping them for a while before finally concentrating on their left and right hands.

[Step] [One]

...

“...Aura!”

“Y-yah! I'm Aura!”

Aura looked panicked and immediately turned her head towards the blue haired girl who had just called out to her, who looked a little worried.

“...what's up, Adeline?”

“What do you mean ‘ada what’? We've almost reached the most important part”

“Oh... oh! Yes!”

Aura returned her attention to the front, staring at the gigantic mountain that was emitting continuous rumbling sounds. Several people in the same uniform can be seen running to various places among the trees and large stones that surround the mountain.

Magic circles of various colors and sizes were visible with in front of them, which spread all the way to the other side of the mountain.

“Kyuu”

Small-clear appeared and jumped onto Aura's shoulders, like telling her something and of course, the other three Clear could be seen moving towards them at high speed. They had just returned after clearing their area with Twig who was seen moving while trying to avoid the magic circles on the ground.

“““Kyuu!”””

“Psssht!”

The three Clears arrived before Aura and instantly fused their bodies together, making Clear reach three times their usual size. It did not last long because after a few seconds, the transparent blob shrank back to its usual size.

Twig also seemed to have only woken up after seeing that and activated her Compress Gear, letting her 20-meter body instantly shrink to her 4-meter size.

Aura looked at the two Beasts in front of her then shook her head vigorously, returning her concentration to the thing that needed to be resolved in front of her. Both of his eyes turned clear again and he immediately turned his head towards the girl beside him who was standing while folding both of his hands.

“Ayo”
