Chapter 185 - Abnormal Situation
"Forget that for a while," murmured Desmond. This time his eyes swept across the surroundings. He looked back at the system notification and narrowed his eyes at the system map. "If the information was correct, then an Alpha from Dire Wolf should appear right now."
Young master? Meanwhile, Laura, who was following her young master, tilted her head in confusion for a moment, but then she notices his vigilant behavior.
Immediately she spread her hands apart while chanting the barrier spell, forming a black transparent barrier, hovering on the back of his young master and herself.
After confirming that nothing was wrong, Desmond breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Laura, "Stop your spell; we're safe now. But keep an eye on the direction we are coming from. " Desmond said as he walks again to the Dire Wolf's corpse.
"Yes, young master." Without hesitation, Laura answered, turning around and narrowing her eyes in the direction her young master had ordered.
But before that, she stole a glance at what her young master was doing; after all this time, her young master had always done strange things that made her common sense change too.
Looks like the young master has found a new toy again... Laura thought. Although Laura did not understand what her young master was doing, seeing the flow of energy her master emitted increased every year made her know that this had something to do with his experiment.
Feeling satisfied, Laura chuckled before finally focusing her thoughts on the task Desmond had given her.
Desmond, who was doing energy absorption, also noticed Laura's gaze. "Well, at least it's good for me." Honestly, he actually prefers Laura like this to then she used to before, the troublemaker.
Apart from obeying and being able to cooperate, it seems that Laura also doesn't have a problem with him when killing humans, "Hmm ..." While his hands were busy chopping up Dire Wolves' corpse, Desmond began to think.
"How many bodies are left in the village?" just thinking about this had made him excited, but at the same time, he also had to find a good excuse to bring these corpses away.
But he just realized the odd thing about this attack, "How did Dire Wolves who have a lower IQ could threaten a goblin as bait?"
This question kept haunting his mind from the start; if the goblins were being threatened with the number of Dire Wolves, it was possible, but this didn't seem like the style of the goblins Desmond was familiar with.
"These Dire Wolves, they shouldn't be smarter than a dog. And also… "Desmond remembered about a novel that had a goblin evolved into a terrifying monster by raping and killing other races. But now, looking at this, a novel just a delusion after all.
A few minutes later, Desmond finally managed to absorb all of the Dire Wolf's corpses, "Unfortunately, luck doesn't come twice." Not only was the energy absorbed by each Dire Wolves lower than before, but Desmond also didn't get any other bonus stats either.

"Not bad, eight Dire Wolves in increments of about 2.8." He nodded in satisfaction and added. "If I were a Wizard, I might have entered the Master realm, right? haha." Desmond laughed dryly.
He knew that this was impossible; not only did a Master Wizard have a denser and more powerful energy density, but every spell they used also contained a bit of dimensional element as well.
With his mother as a Master Witch, the comparison was clear to him.
"Also, with this, I have gotten closer to fulfilling the conditions to become 1st class Dragonslayer. " Desmond murmured while something flashed in his eyes.
This thought only flashed for an instant before his gaze refocused on the Dire Wolves corpse.
"It seemed this absorption is faster than I imagined, maybe because of their less energy?" After finishing absorbing, Desmond suddenly narrowed his eyes at the system map. "Laura."
Seeing that the gray dot was approaching the location at an abnormal speed, Desmond became alert.
This likely caused by Selena's final struggle, Desmond thought.
He glanced back at Selena's corpse and found her face and body crushed by the Dire Wolves' bite, leaving only her familiar blue hair.
"Seeing this speed, my guess must be Veronica, their leader," Desmond muttered. This was also the reason why he chose a forest that was a bit further away from the village.
"Yes, young master ?!" Laura, who had been focused on her task, immediately answered when she heard Desmond's voice.
She turned around and found that the energy emitted from Desmond was bigger and stronger than before. Unconsciously, her lips curved upwards, and her gaze filled with pride.
Desmond noticed her gaze but chose to ignore as he didn't care and said in his usual flat tone, expressionless, "We have guests."
Hearing this, something flashed through Laura's eyes. "Yes, young master," She replied as her aura changed completely from the previously warm and cheerful, now cold and full of murderous intent.
Desmond, who watched her reaction, nodded in satisfaction. Good, at least I already have one half-perfect puppet...
"Before that, injure yourself, avoiding suspicion." Desmond explained briefly. He walked over to one of the Dire Wolf's bodies and tucked his sleeves up to his shoulders.

Before Desmond incident, in the village of Genward
Ray, who was not far from the Steel Legion mercenaries, was daydreaming about the previous incident.
Why didn't that kid choose my mercenaries?
At first, he didn't understand why Desmond would suddenly come over to the Steel Legion mercenaries. He glanced at the Guardian and found him relaxing as usual.
This surprised him but seeing Desmond and his servants were accompanied by one of their members, it hurt his pride as the top mercenaries in this kingdom.
Ray was a man of high self-esteem; he even considered this mission was the most important, and his mercenaries served as the primary protectors of the client.
Therefore, when he saw the Guardian was helping the villagers, Ray didn't care because his only mission was to escort Desmond to his destination safely.
"Ray." Vaurz, who saw his friend lost in thought, called him. Of course, he knew what his friend think; they were childhood friends as he also knew how high Ray's self-esteem personality was.
Even though he knew this was rude to disturb his friend at this time, but there was something stuck in his heart.
"Ray!" Vaurz shouted, causing the other members to glance their way. Vaurz himself couldn't understand why he insisted on pestering his friend.
A feeling that rose in his heart suddenly strengthened. Somehow he had been feeling unwell like he had a bad feeling ever since that rich boy, their client, left to somewhere with Steel Legion mercenary.
"Hmm ... what's wrong, Vaurz?" Ray, who just came back to his senses, frowned at this. Even though they are childhood friends, at least Vaurz should realize his position has changed as he is now a mercenary leader.
But when Ray saw his friend's worried expression, this made him feel even more strange. Not only was he worried, but looking at his friend now, he was at a loss...
"Um ... you see ..." Vaurz, who was shocked by the flat reaction of his friend, suddenly became nervous, confused about what to say.
