Eren was stunned when he first saw Ulag. That's because he acted way too human-like for a monster of his rank. He was just an Orc Leader. And yet, he walked and spoke like a normal human would.
'This… how could monsters of this place be so non-monster-like? Alphee, do you have any idea?'
Eren was having a monologue while Ulag was trying to talk with him. Alephee pondered for a bit before responding.
'Hmm. I guess that this form of intelligence in monsters is due to some special artefact or potion of equal calibre.'
Alphee replied casually while Eren observed Ulag in front of him with keen eyes. He still looked like the orc he had seen in the Badlands.
But there was an unmaskable glint of intelligence in his eyes.
Ulag walked upright instead of having an arch back like usual. Plus, his hand gestures and facial expressions were more human than monster-like.
'This… What kind of place is this dungeon? Is this even a dungeon to begin with?'
