The legendary warrior

"True. When a normal surge of beasts occurs, nearly all the beasts are on the prowl, roaming around madly." Kristen nodded.

A few seconds later, her eyes lit up as if she had sensed something.

Tyson's eyes met Kristen's. He also sensed that something anomalous was brewing.

"I am sure you have recognized it already. Now think about the surge of beasts that happened about ten days ago. I can discern that there is something unusual going on. Nearly all the beasts were not frenzied then," Ricky explained.

"You can see it during the course of your previous hunts."

"It's true, I have noticed it as well. I have been fighting with these beasts more than I can count. I have seen them in their actual strength and they are not to be overlooked, especially in their state of madness!" Tyson agreed.

"Then, is it safe to say that this eerie surge of beasts was not a normal surge of beasts?" Kristen speculated.

"Maybe," Ricky replied.

"But, these countless beasts attacked the whole Chaotic Region. Isn't that a normal surge? Even if these beasts were controlled by the tamers from our region, it is still questionable how they can manage such a vast number of them." Kristen furrowed her eyebrows trying to put two and two together.

"For those beast tamers who are able to control all the wild beasts in this Chaotic Region, it's worthless to launch a fake surge of beasts, because they think nothing of us and our belongings."

"Ah, it can't be the beast tamer. The beast tamer only launches an attack to plunder resources. But you see, this surge went out suddenly and unexpectedly," Ricky explained.

"There is also something unusual going on with them. When they retreated, they carried two or three bodies of dead warriors with them!"

"Indeed! I remember it, too. It's a good thing you mentioned that part, Russell. I nearly forgot that they carried bodies with them!" Tyson exclaimed. He finally figured out the pieces of the puzzle.

"It's very strange, indeed. Coupled with the fact that these beasts are not in a state of madness, this surge will really make people wonder if it is a normal one!" Kristen interjected.

They were all in contemplation as they tried to figure out what was going on.
