Capítulo 248: The Roar in the Forest
"Zz… We need help." "Zz… Some damn psychopaths are chasing us; they've injured my friends, and one is dead." Roooaaarrr!!!
Anton's group fell silent at the sound of that powerful roar. None of them were naive enough to think it was an animal. Even a bear couldn't make such a sound, and besides, they had been expecting something like this.
"Zz… Where are you?" Anton waited for a response, but nothing came from the other side of the radio.
At that moment, Anton's eyes lit up as he saw a mission being issued.
"Mission in progress... Class: Hunt and Elimination Type: Exorcism Request: Eliminate what hides this block beyond the human eye, regardless of the consequences. [Reward: 50,000 Faith Points] "
Knowing they had reached an area where a summoned demonic creature might be, Anton immediately raised the group's alert level and requested immediate support.
"Do we keep moving?" Alexander was ready for any drastic decision.
"We can't let those people die. The information they must have could be useful to us," Anton responded, taking the initiative to lead the way.
"If we follow the path, we should turn slightly to the right."
"Sir, I've detected traces of dark energy, and everything indicates it's a beast summoned by humans," explained a man holding a handheld computer, looking at the data being transmitted to him.
Anton was examining the ground and, after some time, ordered, "Billy, I'll entrust you to track them."
"Understood!" Billy moved ahead with only light equipment to scout the path. He was a tracker soldier, and his main task was to prevent his team from being ambushed by the enemy, which involved risking his own life.
Akira was observing the silent forest and said, "Deploy drones; we need images of our surroundings."
After realizing they were in the red zone, everyone began preparing to face whatever had let out that roar in the darkness.
Anton allowed everyone to disembark while he advanced to provide some support for Billy in case he encountered the enemy head-on.
After Billy returned, he reported finding some tracks. The experts analyzed these tracks and didn't rule out the possibility that they were from other people.
The tracks were chaotic, unlike those they had been leaving on the path, so they assumed the person was running in a hurry.
"Running like that could only result in injuries if they fell. There's no other reason for someone to be running," Billy briefly said, offering his cautious insight.
Following the tracks in the opposite direction, they found a hill, and the tracks seemed to originate from there.
Anton raised his hand for his group to stop. He looked into the distance and noticed an unidentified creature moving back and forth.
Crack!
"Target found, marked." Everyone immediately aimed their rifles with smart telescopic sights and marked the target, recording it as an enemy.
Once the sights were fixed, they analyzed its size, minimal characteristics, and every detail to determine if it was the same beast or another.
"Zz... Sir, we've identified many ancient runes signaling a portal."
Anton closed his eyes to think, waited for the drones to gather more information, and after being ready, he said, "We can't wait for reinforcements."
Akira was preparing along with everyone else, ready to act as soon as orders were given.
"Listen carefully; everything except for us is the enemy, so you are authorized to shoot at will. Eliminate the enemy, use high-caliber bullets, and establish a perimeter with landmines," Anton said as he watched the enormous monster move at great speed.
To eliminate creatures like these, which are larger than what they were accustomed to, it was important to survey the combat field and set traps in advance.
Being prepared was crucial, so once everyone took their positions, Anton waited for the beast to reveal its full form.
"Zz… All teams in position!" "Zz… Understood!"
Everyone blessed themselves; what they were about to face was something ten times larger than any other creature.
