The one on the right had dark skin and sported four claws. It looked like a black panther. Rudy's lips twitched and he said, "What the heck are these things?! Why do they look like this?!"
It was hard to blame Rudy for reacting like that. He had seen quite a few beasts before, but in Rudy's mind, beasts should look like beasts, and humans should look like humans. Once beasts reached a certain level, they would be able to turn into humans.
They were definitely not like those four in front of them, not human nor beasts. It looked incredibly disgusting.
"You didn't make a mistake this time, but can you really not tell how strong this kid is?" the beast that looked like a dragonfly said to the other one that looked similar to it.
The one called Orgh frowned, unhappily looking at the beast next to him, "It's not like I made a mistake last time. That person's reinforcements were very far away. No matter how hard I try, my divine senses can only reach two kilometers! It's not like you weren't there, Stye, so why are you being so snide?!"
Style snorted, "I'm not. The last time, if Olalo hadn't been quick with his help, we'd have died to that brat! We wouldn't have had the chance to make up for the mistake! This time, you'd better focus. If you make another mistake, I won't be able to help you with the king!"
The four demon spirit beasts were talking in front of Fane and Rudy without any fear at all. They did not seem to care about Fane and Rudy at all. Rudy was confused by the conversation.
Fane's expression was cold as he remembered everything that was being said. He felt like the situation was strange. They entered the Demon Spirit Kingdom to hunt these beasts, but judging from what the beasts were saying, it was as if the humans were the prey.
Rudy whispered to Fane, "Fane, why do I feel like it's a bit strange? These beasts don't seem afraid of us at all?"
Fane nodded as he took a deep breath, "The situation's definitely strange. Didn't we hear at the inn that these beasts are all very smart? To kill them, we'd need to attack from a range.
"It's because those beasts would run the moment they see anyone. Yet, it doesn't seem like the case at all. Not only are they not running, but they're also even discussing things right in front of us!"
Rudy nodded emphatically. His heart beat quickly, "What do we do? Should we meet with the others first? We shouldn't fight these beasts. After all, it's you going one against four… No matter how strong you are, they have the numbers. I'll only drag you down!"
Fane frowned as he lowered his voice and said, "Stay quiet and observe the situation. I'm in no hurry. If the situation is bad, we can run then."
Fane had a trump card, which was the laws of space. If he could not beat them, then he could put Rudy into Mustard Seed and use the laws of space to run, but that was only if things got desperate.
Ever since he mastered the Broken Soul Blade, Fane was incredibly confident in his abilities. Unless his opponent was several times stronger than he was, Fane was not worried.
