Volume 1 Chapter 402

Chapter 402: Wow, What a Grand Gesture

The opening of the half-plane channel and the magic tide might really cause a monster riot.

Chasing a special surge of magic or being forced to run due to changes in the magic and living environment, along with unique terrain, can lead to monsters rushing in a certain direction.

But…

That is also a relatively long process.

So, "monster riots" usually refer to a sudden increase in monster activity over a period of time.

Even if dozens of monsters really run away together or several groups move at once, it’s like vehicles on a highway, each taking their own lane.

After all, monsters are also in competition with each other, and keeping a distance while fleeing is better for everyone.

Scenes where hundreds of monsters crowd together, like herding sheep or horses… can even resemble a stampede situation.

It really surprised Lolth.

After thinking for a few seconds, Lolth made a decision.

Run!

She had the power to stop all these monsters, even if there were two or three epic ones mixed in.

However, something unusual often means trouble.

The strange way these monsters were huddled together made Lolth feel that someone might be secretly controlling them!

Because she did not sense any reason to "escape" behind these monsters.

There is one more important point.

Although these monsters seemed to be coming from the core area.

But the path they were taking seemed to be drawing a huge curve.

They might not actually be "running away"—at least that’s how Lolth felt.

In summary, combined with a little intuition, Lolth made a decision.

It was better to continue embracing her "Elite Level warrior woman" persona.

So Lolth turned around and started running back!

After running just a few steps, she unexpectedly bumped into Florence and Krado.

Lolth also seriously embraced her persona and started shouting.

"Run—monsters are coming, they are all monsters!"

"Superlative Level is abundant, and there are epic ones too, run fast!"

Lolth’s voice echoed through the mountains and forests, and Florence and Krado’s faces changed slightly as they turned and ran in the direction of Lolth!

As they ran, they released their Magic Perception.

Then they sensed the massive monster approaching them, with the power gathering into a stream of magic not far away.

After a few steps, the three saw Ling and Raven also emerging from the forest on both sides.

The two looked dirty, and Raven’s hands were muddy, not sure what they had been doing.

It was clear that these two had also heard Lolth’s call and felt the huge horde of monsters behind them, starting to flee.

"What do we do now?"

Krado glanced at Florence and asked while running.

This guy who called himself an "Elemental Mage" ran just as fast as the "Knight," "Warrior," and "Ranger" present in this dangerous moment.

Florence shook her head. This was the first time Lolth had seen such a scene.

"I don’t know; I can only run for now!"

"After all, with so many monsters still running around, we can’t fight them at all!"

"Don’t even talk about fighting; it’s impossible to stop and block them!"

"Getting caught up in this would definitely mean certain death!"

Florence sighed, and the others clearly showed expressions of, "That’s not so sure."

However, it was clear that no one wanted to take action.

Just a few seconds later, a young man with red hair riding a giant pangolin suddenly emerged from the trees ahead.

"Hood, run fast! There are so many monsters behind us!"

Florence stepped differently and shouted at Hood in front of her.

Hood shouted back in response.

"I know that—but we all need to change direction because there’s also something behind me!"

As Hood shouted this, everyone’s expressions changed slightly, and they released their Magic Perception…

It was the same strong wave of magical energy!

Hood wasn’t lying; there really was a huge group of magical creatures running behind him!

The paths of the two waves of magical creatures looked like two huge arcs, blocking three directions.

The only option left for everyone was to run toward the core area!

"Come on, change direction!"

Florence shouted and looked back.

And Florence was pleased to find that…

Although these guys were not very good during the fight, it seemed they were quite skilled at escaping!

Before she even shouted, one by one, they had already turned around and were rushing toward the center of Wild Boar Mountain!

Each of them ran much faster than she did!

Leading the pack was Krado, the "wizard" who was also a nobleman.

This middle-aged man took big strides and was two positions ahead of the second place, Raven.

He looked nothing like someone who had lacked exercise before.

Ling and Lolth ran incredibly fast as well.

Even Hood, riding a magical beast, couldn’t outrun the few people in front.

Meanwhile, Lolth, who stayed in the center position, kept running while also observing the two groups of magical beasts behind her.

She was increasingly aware that something was wrong!

It wasn’t just the state and speed of the magical creatures that seemed off; their paths were strange too…

The entire Wild Boar Mountain felt a bit unusual.

Two magical creatures coming from different directions surely meant they weren’t hiding from anything!

This was definitely someone controlling them.

But who could be powerful enough to create such an effect?

Lolth had heard about controlling magical creatures and had even seen it happen before.

Dorothy, my own student, previously had only one extraordinary skill, which was controlling monsters with her mind.

However, there are just too many of these monsters.

As Lolth’s perception deepened and expanded, she discovered that the number of monsters behind her was several times greater than she had imagined or expected.

The entire group of monsters stretched very far.

Especially…

Two groups of monsters even began to merge together!

Is this Dorothy’s organized army?

But it is not surprising, after all, Dorothy learned this ability from a "book."

This shows that the skill of controlling monsters has also been passed down in the main plane.

In fact, the contract monsters are a kind of… but the contract is a long-term partnership.

This is a short-term requisition.

Lolth just doesn’t understand what these people are trying to achieve by controlling these monsters with so much effort.

Lolth was focused, but suddenly sensed several other presences within her range.

They have the same extraordinary aura and magical fluctuations, but they are separate from these monsters.

Moreover, they do not belong to the monsters.

They are the presence of those human Superoperators.

Lolth was taken aback, and her footsteps slowed a little.

But she seemed to understand a bit better about what was happening.

"I see… these monsters are in the ‘net!’"
