The strange feeling was getting more and more disturbing. Clyde stayed behind to observe the situation while the five people focused on their hunt.

He didn't know what was following them and wanted to do something malevolent. And he wouldn't think that it was actually just his feeling.

There must really be something lurking between the floating pieces of land and the debris from the ruined city.

For now, Clyde decided to walk closer to them. So that when danger comes he can act immediately.

When he watched them, Clyde realized that their fight was indeed easier than yesterday.

Lola can also shoot more precisely now. She no longer needed Rosie next to her to help her so Rosie could also farm Exp for herself. Since Lola had raised her Stats, she could lift her crossbow without any problems.

The results of hard training that she did while staying up late also produced extraordinary results. Maybe because of her strong determination, Lola finally mastered the crossbow.

Clyde once again nodded with a faint smile of satisfaction. 'This way, it won't be long before they're ready for the mission.'

The sooner the five of them were ready, the sooner Clyde could accept the mission from Maethion. And get enough power to avenge her.

The five of them had killed dozens of dinosaur monsters. Clyde used [Skill: Inspection] on them.

But then he sighed disappointed because even though they killed a lot of monsters, they only increased 3 levels from their original level.

At first, Clyde thought that they would be able to develop quickly. However, he realized his stupidity by comparing their power development with his.

Of course, they wouldn't be as fast as him to level up. They didn't have the [Skill:Exp+] that he had.

'It looks like I have to be more patient.'

Clyde knew he couldn't possibly show that he was disappointed because that would only make them even more down.

"Hey," Clyde's call instantly distracted them from the happy cheers after taking care of the monster's horde.

"What's wrong? Something happened?" Rosie asked.

Clyde drew closer to them and spoke in a low voice. "I have a feeling something is watching us. I don't know what it is but you guys need to start being more alert."

"Is that some kind of... uhh... BOSS monster?" Wiley asked with a horrified grimace.

Now that Wiley mentioned it, Clyde still hasn't encountered any monsters that look like BOSS in this Ruin. Not that he worried too much about it, though.

"Maybe. Whatever it is, this could be a great opportunity for you to get more Exp," said Clyde.

They weren't too excited about the idea because even if they would gain a lot of Exp, they would have to kill the monster before getting it.

Seeing their expressions, Clyde said. "I got your back if the situation gets worse. You just have to focus on fighting."

"Why are you helping us so much?" Albert asked. "Don't get me wrong. I'm glad you helped us and I'm grateful. But I just want to know why."

"You guys already know why. I need friends to run the expedition," Clyde replied.

"But can't you do it yourself with your strength?"

"Well, I can't seem to finish everything by myself even if I wanted to," said Clyde. "You guys know about the Senior Council?"

They nod.

"They won't let me go alone."

Upon hearing Clyde's answer, they decided not to question anything further. They wouldn't lose from this anyway.

So they continued their journey and hunt. It was suddenly quiet as if all life around them had disappeared.

All the monsters that would normally attack when they saw their presence disappeared.

Of course, that sparked anxiety in their hearts. Those monsters must have disappeared because they were avoiding something more dangerous than them.

As soon as they realized this situation, they immediately stopped their talk and scanned around with wary eyes.

"Lola," Leon said, looking at her. Lola immediately nodded in understanding.

They stopped for a moment and waited for Lola. Lola started to use her Skill to see the masses

"Don't use a lot of Mana yet, you still have to use it later," Rosie said with a concerned face.

Lola nodded and closed her eyes. While she uses her future vision ability, the others keep watching the surroundings including Clyde.

'What will appear this time?' Clyde thought, feeling excited in his heart.

Leon saw something moving above the piece of land floating in front of him. He squinted, until he finally saw it.

"There it is."

Leon's words made the others turn their heads. They saw a humanoid figure carrying a sword at his waist with a large build standing above that floating piece of land. They couldn't see it clearly because it had its back to the sun.

As it walked closer and jumped in front of them, they finally realized that it wasn't a tall human being. 

Its entire body was covered with greenish skin that had the texture of a dinosaur's skin. That face, too, was that of a raptor with a long muzzle filled with sharp teeth. But the creature has human eyes.

What made it look even more dangerous was that it moved like a normal human and have a sword at its waist.

"Shit. That's a strong-looking monster," Wiley said with a look of fright on his face.

"I saw a powerful monster appear!" Lola said after opening her eyes.

"Yeah, we know," Rosie replied.

Clyde stared at the monster in the form of a half-dinosaur man. Then use [Skill: Inspection].

Clyde guessed he couldn't see the rating of this monster because its level was way below his.

"It's a level 25 monster," Clyde said. "You guys can handle it with the five of you."

"You sure?" Wiley asked, unconvinced.

Before Clyde could answer, Sapionus Rex had already lunged at them.

"It's coming!" Leon also lunged toward it.
