As the man followed the young Numa, he soon found traces of his lost mutated beast's aura around him. Instead of getting angry, the man kept following him. His curiosity turned into anticipation, the anticipation of knowing how this young Numa killed off his mutated beast.
Yes.
The man had long confirmed that something had killed his mutated beast. As soon as he entered the area where he let that particular beast roam free, using his divine sense, he searched for it. He found its carcass mutilated and some of its parts missing. That was the reason he initially thought a new mutated beast had killed it. After all, the Numas were far too small to kill his mutated beast, especially mutilate it. At most, the man had thought that a new king-level mutated beast had emerged. He would subdue it and make it his new pet if that were true.
