Chapter 157: Apex Predator

Jason squeezed his palm gently, and his brow rose in surprise.

’Are those boobs?’

Henry spluttered and blushed when they felt Jason’s hand on their chest and they quickly tried to move away from Jason, but Jason kept Henry close since it would be dangerous if they separated.

’So this bastard was a girl all along. With how feminine he looked, I should have known.’

This thought passed through Jason’s head as he sent out another pulse of mana to try and pinpoint Rosa’s position.

Ding~!

A notification sound echoed through Jason’s system before a tab opened!

[Due to repeated action, the user has gained a new B Rank skill [Magic Sense]]

——

[Magic Sense: This skill gives the user the ability to spread his mana over a given radius in order to pinpoint all objects or people in that region and create a map of the terrain in the user’s head.]

At Current Level: Mana Sense Radius = 1km

[Please upgrade the skill in order to increase the radius of effect.]

——

Jason barely paid any attention to the notification, but he noticed that his ability to sense the mana around him suddenly became sharper and more precise. A map of the terrain began to form in Jason’s mind, and Jason was able to easily pick out Rosa’s position in less than half the time! Jason immediately called on one of his beasts while turning off the [Adamantine Armor] skill to preserve mana.

"Fenrir."

The black-skinned Moonlight wolf ran out from the Alternate Dimension and shot straight for Rosa! Rosa had been watching Jason all this time and had been in the middle of thinking about what to do next when the Moonlight Wolf suddenly shot for her. The suddenness of the entire situation shocked Rosa so much that she wasn’t able to move out of the way immediately, and by the time she realized what was going on, the wolf was right on top of her!

Rosa jumped back to try and put some distance between her and Fenrir while holding her blade towards it threateningly, but Fenrir was a purebred hunter and once it realized that Rosa was close to it, it lashed out and grabbed onto anything it could find! And unfortunately for Rosa, that thing just so happened to be her arm!

Fenrir bit into Rosa’s arm, and a sickening crunch echoed through the area as it was torn clean off from the socket!

RIPPP~!

"AAAAHHHHH!!"

Rosa screamed from the intense pain as she held the stump that had once been her arm! Over the comms, Ricardo started to shout in worry as he wondered what had happened!

[Rosa! Rosa, what happened!?]

"Monster! He’s a monster! Run, Ricardo!"

Rosa shouted between screams, and Ricardo could barely understand what she was saying! He immediately abandoned his post and began running into the fog to help his sister, but he didn’t get far before a loud roar echoed through the sky, and a beast unlike anything he had ever seen in his life rose above the forest trees.

’Is that... a dragon...?’

ROARRR!!!

Ragnar let out an earth-shattering roar as it raised its head into the sky, and everything in the forest felt a shiver of fear pass through their bodies once they realized that a true apex predator had appeared! Ragnar beat its wing once and released a massive blast of wind and mana, and Jason watched calmly as the fog around them dispersed from the intense surge of mana! The surroundings were cleared up, and Jason turned to his side to see Henry’s reddened face as she stared at the ground.

"C-Could you take your hand off my chest?"

Oh, right. Jason totally forgot he was still holding that. Jason released Henry and allowed her to move away, and Henry crossed her hand over her chest and turned away with an angry blush. Jason turned towards the two siblings with his [Predator’s Gaze]. Rosa was lying on the ground and clutching her bleeding arm, and Ricardo was about a hundred meters away from them, staring up at Ragnar in absolute shock!

Jason’s eyes narrowed, and he called on two Pawn Rank III moonlight wolves. The wolves materialized beside Jason, and Jason gave them a single order.

"Don’t stop until he’s dead."

The wolves zeroed in on Ricardo, and Ricardo immediately sensed the bloodlust aimed at him! He turned to see the large wolves staring him down with blood-red eyes, and he felt pure fear fill his body! He glanced down at his sister for a second as he thought about trying to grab her, but she was too far and he knew there was no way he would be able to grab her and escape at the same time, so he simply turned and ran!

The two wolves roared before they took off after him!

Jason patted Ragnar on the thigh and told him to go back into the Alternate Dimension, and the dragon vanished from the forest. Fenrir was still standing there, and Jason called on the ten Rook subordinate pawns that were under Fenrir’s command. They gathered around Jason obediently and Jaosn gave a mental order.

’Go clear out the rest of the Gate. Make sure you get all the crystals and kill the boss when you find it.’

Fenrir and the other wolves all took off and headed deeper into the forest, and Jason finally turned his attention to the other two teenagers beside him. Henry was staring at everything happening in absolute shock, but Darren didn’t even look bothered by it. Instead, Darren’s eyes were glittering with awe as he looked at Jason like Jason was the messiah that was promised!

"You’re amazing, Boss."

Darren spoke with so much adoration in his voice that Jason actually felt a little embarrassed by it. This was different from simply looking up to someone. Darren was treating Jason like he was a god or something.

Jason decided to just not bother about all that and walked up to Rosa calmly with his sword still held loosely in one hand. Rosa was still lying on the floor while holding her bleeding stump and crying out in pain, and when she saw Jason heading her way, her face morphed into a look of pure terror! Rosa tried to shuffle back to get away from Jason, but Jason put his foot on her thigh and kept her in place.

"W-Wait, don’t kill me. I’ll talk. I’ll tell you everything I know."

Rosa tried to bargain for her life, but Jason scoffed as he placed his sword against her chest.

"I don’t need your cooperation."

SQUELCH!

Jason’s blade drove deep into Rosa’s heart, and Rosa coughed up some blood as she felt her body grow cold. She looked up into Jason’s eyes, and Jason’s black expression was the only thing she got in return until the moment the light behind her eyes dimmed.

"Wait! What are you doing!?"

Henry shouted from behind Jason when she saw him stab Rosa in the heart, and she ran forward worriedly! She looked down at the lifeless body of the superhuman instructor and wondered what the hell had gotten into Jason! He just killed someone!

"You murdered her..."

Henry’s voice was low and filled with disbelief! The mere thought of taking someone’s life was something that she had never even entertained before, so seeing someone kill another person so easily was too shocking to her! This was the sort of thing that only happened in movies!

"She was trying to murder us all."

Jason said this calmly as he dragged his sword out from Rosa’s chest and flicked it to the side to get rid of the blood. He turned to give Henry a pointed look and he saw that Henry was still slightly confused. Jason waved his sword around to the surroundings.

"What do you think created this fog and attacked us? The instructors were here to kill me from the start, and you two were unfortunate enough to have been a part of it."

Henry’s eyes widened.

"Wait... what? But..."

"I believe you, boss!"

Darren shouted from behind without any hesitation!
