These Familiars Are Strange

When it was over, Wang Rong came back with a heavy look on his face.

There were also traces of blood that were on his body, but it didn't seem like he cared about them as it seemed like he had a lot on his mind.

When I saw him like this, I took out a towel from my Storage Ring for Wang Rong.

He was surprised when I tossed it at him, but I just said, "Wipe yourself off."

Wang Rong didn't say anything at first, but he still eventually took the towel and wiped the blood off himself.

Even then, he didn't say a single word.

Though he hadn't actually dealt the final blow, there was no doubt that he was the one that had caused their deaths.

So it was only natural that it hung heavy on him.

But the fact that their corpses were left behind was more than enough to prove his loyalty.

Since he had proven it, then there was no reason to doubt him.

It was better to leave him alone to gather his thoughts.

Not to mention that there was another place that I wanted to go.

Though when I wanted to head to that place, it seemed like the Fishmen that I asked to lead the way seemed anxious. It was as if they were afraid of whatever was in that place that they didn't want to go there.

I knew exactly what was there, which was why I wanted them to lead us there in the first place.

In the end, they still followed my orders since they were hypnotized even if they seemed afraid.

With the Fishmen leading the way, it didn't take long for us to arrive.

This was a place that was like the other places where the Elite Monsters resided, but it was also different.

That was because there wasn't just a single building that was there, there were several buildings that were placed together. With the way that they were placed, it was almost as if there was some kind of settlement here.

That was the first sign that there was something different here.

The second sign was the number of monsters that were gathered around the area.

It was completely different from the number of monsters that had been gathered around in the area of the Elite Monsters.

It was like night and day with how many monsters were gathered here.

That was only natural since this was the place where the Boss Monster of this dungeon was.

Wang Rong snapped out of his daze when we arrived in this area and came forward to ask, "Boss, are we really doing this?"

I turned to look at him to ask, "Why do you think that we can't do this?"

"It's a Boss Monster, it's completely different from the Elite Monsters that we fought before…" Wang Rong's voice trailed off with worry as he said this.

Anyone would feel the same way if they were in the same situation.

A Boss Monster was a Boss Monster for a reason.

However, I didn't have any fear of the Boss Monster since I had already fought the Thunder Deer before.

Even if it was a C Rank Boss, I was still confident since I was much stronger than before.

So I just said, "Don't worry, just trust me and it'll all turn out fine."

Wang Rong still had a trace of doubt on his face, but he eventually nodded in agreement.

We didn't head into this monster settlement right away and instead sent a few of the monsters that I controlled in to scout it out first.

Since this was a monster settlement, it was easier to scout since there were all kinds of monsters here. It wasn't like before where there were only Fishman guards, there were also Mermen and Sahuagins here as well.

So I sent a few of each kind in to scout out the entire area, including the area for Mermen and Sahuagins.

The different monsters actually lived apart from each other and it even seemed like there was some kind of racism between them judging by how they treated each other.

It seemed that the Fishmen were the upper class citizens while the Mermen and Sahuagins were the lower class citizens.

It really seemed strange seeing the monsters act like this.

But it wasn't as if I was here to think about monster hierarchy.

Instead, I was keeping my eyes open for the Boss Monster.

It wasn't the scouts that I sent that found the Boss Monster in the end, I was the one that found it. Only that was because the Boss Monster was walking through the monster settlement like it was looking for something.

Or it was better to say that it was looking over the monster settlement as it walked through.

It seemed like it was actually governing the settlement.

This Boss Monster seemed like one that had intelligence, which would be a problem.

Wang Rong could also see this, so he asked, "Boss, are you sure about this?"

I didn't say anything as I continued observing the Fishman Chief walking through the settlement.

The way that it walked through and governed the monsters…it really seemed like it had the same biased thoughts as the other Fishmen.

That gave me an idea of how to take them down.

There was no need to fight them ourselves, it was better if we could incite a fight between the monsters.

Though I did feel strange about doing something like this.

It felt weird that the monsters were like this in the first place.

"Let's observe and wait a bit." I said without even turning back to look at Wang Rong.

Wang Rong let out a sigh of relief when he heard this, but I ignored him still.

I started observing the monster settlement carefully, looking for gaps in their society that I could exploit.

The other thing that I was waiting for was for the monsters to let their guards down so I could do what I needed to do.
