MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master

Chapter 783 Traversing The Beast Territory

( Rudra's POV)

Rudra used his eyes to scout the area around them every five minutes and made sure to steer clear of opponents stronger than tier 4 , while he trapped weaker beasts in his gravity manipulation and allowed those who needed only one or two levels to progress to tier 3 peak to kill them so that they could level up in the journey.

Neatwit was in heaven apparently as he was laughing constantly by fighting strong tier 4 beasts one after another and levelling up at an fast pace.

There was a good reason as to why the beast territory was left untouched by the demonkind as the amount of tier 4 beasts and higher within the region were so large that without ordering a full army invasion of the territory it was impossible to clear the full region for human use.

And as it was practically impossible to start industrial operations in unsafe lands it was all but given that weaker tier 1 and two demons responsible for building cities would never step into this land by themselves.

In the end the cost of reclaiming the territory turned out to be too large to start a viable expedition into the region which was the reason why there were no roads and not even a shabby Hut to be seen within the beast territory.

After about 10 killometers of land traversed and about 2 hours into the expedition Rudra found the first oddity in the scouts map vs reality as the map the elite scout had drawn for him did not show any lakes within the region however using his heavenly eyes he could see a lake 1 killometers ahead of their current location .

The lake was not a small one at that , it was about 1 killometers wide and about 2 killometers long , which meant that it was actually a very important structure that should not be missed by any scout.

Rudra clicked his tongue , a waterbody was sure to attract lots of powerful beasts as even for demonic beasts water was the basic component of their bodies.

The problem was that Rudra was currently ascending a small natural hill and had taken the whole group along with him on a path that he felt was free from most monsters , to change the path now would mean taking a 3-4 killometers detour which would add one hour to the journey.

Hesitant to do so , Rudra carefully scouted the area for powerful beasts and finding none decided to pass the lakeside as quickly as possible with his troops.

Although Rudra was quick to scout the lake he was actually decieved by the creation of the lake itself as while he found it odd that the scout missed drawing the lake , he felt it was the incompetence of a scout rather than suspecting foul play.

The reason why Rudra was fooled was because the lake was actually created perfectly.

The spot chosen for the lakes creation had a naturally sloping gradient from all sides around it which meant that it was the perfect place for rainwater to be drained into and collected , and there were natural looking reefs and aquatic life at the bottom of the lake plus beast marks around the lakes water that suggested that many beasts came to the lake to drink water.

Roomie had perfected his art of illusions as he did not create fake mind manipulations but replicated actual reality from his detailed observational skills and his creations were impossible to see through by even most experts.

Roomie planned to redirect a thirsty stegasaurus an ancient beast who was one of the few species to reach tier 5 strength towards Rudra and group while they were crossing this lake , as he wanted to probe Rudra's strength and see his moves using this experiment.

The stegasaurus was lured using its favourite bait , the demon hog as when Roomie was informed by his tribesmen that humans were in the vicinity of the lake , Roomie quickly mind controlled the demon hogs he had placed around a stegasaurus his clansmen had tracked and started to lure it towards the lake.

This was the first and a near harmless scheme of roomie as the lake was created to make Rudra beleive that a powerful beast appearing there out of nowhere was just a coincidence and not a sinister scheme , however never in million years would roomie have ever thought that his schemes would be seen through by someone.

Shockingly that someone was not even Rudra as Roomie's schemes were actually unearthed by noone but sir Jhonny English!

Jhonny who was hips deep into the lake seemed to pick some lake plants out of the lake as after careful examination he declared " Shakuni boy , this lake is not a natural lake that's been here for centuries , this is a fake created not more than 2 days ago.

Prepare for ambush ".

Rudra's eyes widened at this declaration as he immediately spread his aura and drew his swords as he became alert .

Seeing Rudra draw his swords Karna and Medivh became alert too and so did the rest of the army.

Rudra scanned the area once more , only to find a powerful beast approaching , but it was still three minutes away while Rudra found no other threatening lifeforms present.

Rudra asked " Why do you say so , sir Jhonny? ".

Rudra did not doubt sir Jhonny's words , if the man said that the lake was a fake then it must be a fake , however he needed to understand the reasoning behind it to understand the motive of creating a fake lake , and the answer shocked him

Jhonny said " the plants they have been unrooted and planted into this lake . Not a single plant at the lakes bottom is natural or healthy.

They still live because they have been freshly transplanted , however if you pull anyone of them off they come out effortlessly which is not how plants are supposed to grow.

The bottom of the lake is carefully created with there being tide replicated base that could only naturally ever form over the lake experience high and low tides for hundereds of years , however whoever made this fake made it reverse for some dumb reason because a tide base in this eastern region should gradiate from left to right and not right to left

I can confidently say that this is a work of an assassination organization and a brilliant one , however it's a shame that their foe is the boy under Jhonny English ".
