บท 331: Intellectual Monster

A few monsters followed it and they stood menacingly in the safety outside the walls. There was a total of seven monsters there, six level 8 and the one level 9 intellectual one. 

However, that was quite a smart move, in contrast to the mindless blood thirst of weaker monsters.

"Are they supposed to be smart?" She asked Rowan, who had found his way next to her.

"No, Ms. Althea." He said, "But there are indeed very, very, few cases where some leading monsters gained a bit of intellect."

Althea looked at him curiously, waiting for more information.

"There have been sightings, especially in cities. I didn't think I'd see one in a village."

"What are the implications?" She asked, emerald eyes staring at the distant monsters.

"Highly troublesome. If 5 was usually needed to take a monster of the same level, such type may need more—sometimes twice of that."

Althea paused, looking at the thing. "Has anyone tried… to tame them?"
