Chapter 16
“Dammit!”
A group of randanels and a baladorado got in our way, so we took care of them. Just when we thought we’d chased down that taratect, these nuisances had to show up. We lucked out and dispatched the baladorado relatively easily while the monsters were fighting among themselves, but the taratect got away while we were busy.
“What should we do now?”
“I don’t think we have much of a choice but to withdraw. We can’t chase it any further now.”
“You’re right. We’ll have to go back and report it to the Adventurers Guild.”
I nodded toward my comrade. Given its size, the thing was probably pretty young, but it still got away from us so quickly.
That was no ordinary speed. A small-fry monster like a taratect shouldn’t be able to move that fast.
Obviously, this individual was extraordinary. If it was already like this as a juvenile, there was no telling how strong it would become if it evolved into adulthood. If we didn’t do something about it before then, it would be too late.
“We’ll have to withdraw! As quickly as possible!”
That was the most we could do. We had to return with all haste to report this information. That way, higher-ranking adventurers and maybe even the Kingdom’s troops could take action.
With one last glance at where the taratect had gone, we turned and left.
Thank you so much for reading! Please let me know if there’s anything I need to fix, and feel free to join my Discord for chapter updates!
