Omega Summoner

Adrian continued to search for the fanged deer with Rollin's group. Thanks to them, Adrian now knows that there is a real alpha that is building up forces that is potentially planning to overthrow Duke Lycaon or initiate war with the vampires.

Finally, after another two hours of searching, they managed to find a fanged deer grazing. The fanged deer is actually male due to having antlers that are a meter long which means its overall height is five meters.

"Wait for the signal before attacking. We need to corner it so that it could not escape if we suddenly damage it. Be careful as it could launch the spikes on its antlers." Rollin whispered to the other two and he instructed Adrian to just observe for now.

Rollin's group surrounded the fanged deer in a triangle formation, and they took out their bows first. Adrian watched with intent of studying their formation as he lacks things like that. If he can coordinate his soulbounds to create a formation, then hunting boss level monsters would become easier.

The three werewolves did not transform as they retained their human form, and Adrian could not even feel a sliver of killing intent from them as they drew their bows. The moment they let go of the arrow is only when their killing intents flared up.

The fanged deer immediately went into high alert due to the sudden rush of killing intents. It wanted to run away but it was surrounded by killing intent in all corners which made its instinct to run in a safe direction useless. Adrian must admit that their formation is perfectly suited for nimble and instinctual monsters.

The arrows that they released hit three different legs of the fanged deer. They perfectly aimed at the joint so that the fanged deer will not be able to escape even if they became negligent for a second. The fanged deer roared, and a funny sound came from it like if a seal and a deer were to have the same growl.

Rollin and the others then revealed themselves and got closer to the fanged deer slowly. Just because the fanged deer could not run away does not mean it would not fight to survive. The will to survive has yet to fade on the fanged deer's face.

Rollin is the first to attack as he charged at the right side of the fanged deer. The fanged deer reacted and swung its antlers to Rollin's direction. When Rollin caught the attention of the fanged deer, Amoux and Lowe did not stand idle by as one attacked the back while the other aimed for its neck.

The fanged deer immediately stood up upon detecting the danger it sensed on its neck. Using the uninjured leg, it tried to stomp Lowe that aimed for its neck. Adria wanted to use Chrono Lag to intervene, but he already saw Amoux redirect his attack towards the fanged deer's shoulder.

The fanged deer squealed in pain and its attack on Amoux never connected due to the latter reacting immediately. Rollin and Amoux used the chance give to them and attacked the fanged deer's neck with full force.

They managed to pierce the fanged deer's neck successfully, but the monster still had energy and thrashed about. Adrian sneakily used Chrono Lag to slow down the movements of the fanged deer and make it bleed even more. The three werewolf hunters used the chance of the fanged deer slowing down to finish it off.

The light on the fanged deer's eyes dimmed as its body dropped to the ground with a loud thud. Adrian immediately went closer to them as he must do his job as a porter. The three werewolves are already dismantling the corpse quickly as there are other predators in the forest.

"We scored a great deal today as male fanged deers are usually lively and puts up much more of a fight." Rollin stated as he dismantled the usable parts of the fanged deer.

They took all the meat as it would be used in the festival and it was stored in the bag that Adrian is carrying. The sack that Adrian is carrying immediately became full of just one fanged deer meat. It weighed about a hundred pounds which Adrian acted like he is having a bit of difficulty carrying it.

The horns and fangs of the fanged deer is also collected due to those parts being extremely useful in alchemy and potion making. The fanged deer horns are even said to have the ability to increase the vitality in men. It was Rollin that is hugging the horns with Amoux shaking his head due to his friend's antics.

"We are quite lucky today because it is a male fanged deer but a female one would have been much better as their meat is much more tender compared to their male counterparts. The horns would fetch for a high price so you can expect that you would be paid more." Amoux explained as Lowe just nodded in agreement again.

They then returned on their way to the village as the three hunters have a code to not overhunt even if it is for the festival. The bounties of the forest must replenish itself which is why they left the organs of the fanged deer in the forest for other animals to consume. It also makes other predators full which makes deters them from hunting the travelers inside the forest.

Adrian accompanied them on the way to the village, but his other two companions returned to his side because they noticed that someone from the other group that they encountered has followed them out the forest. It seems that this was the person that followed Adrian the other day.

After getting his share from the adventurer's guild and parting with Rollin's group, a hooded individual suddenly appeared in front of Adrian. He faked being surprised as he is not strong right now.

"Tell me young wolf, are you satisfied with your life now? Do you not want to get revenge on those bandits that killed your parents?" the hooded individual asked, and Adrian knew that he was being recruited right now.
