My SSS-Rank Class Is Blood Monarch!

Chapter 287- Back In The Tower (Part 11)

"Where do you think we should put this vase, Sora?"@@@@

Inside the guild headquarters, Finlay, Serko, and Sora were busy putting the finishing touches on the decor of the building. The day had been moving rather slowly and so they decided to busy themselves with small adjustments until the group came back.

They didn't have much work to do after finishing the construction and Isla and the others were quite busy so they couldn't spend much time with them.

"Hmm, maybe there," Sora said as she pointed at a small wooden table in the corner of the lounge.

"You think so?" The dwarf asked.

"It's easier to see from the entrance." The girl replied as she stepped next to the door. In her head, she imagined the entire view of the lounge for a newcomer and she believed the decoration had to feel cozy and safe so that they don't get afraid or repulsed.

"That's a good idea," Serko exclaimed. "Do what she asked, Finlay."

The boy nodded his head and put the vase on the table before he stepped back to take a closer look.

"This isn't too bad."

At that moment, as they were talking, the door to the headquarters suddenly opened. Immediately, everyone stepped back. This has become sort of an instinctive reaction whenever the door opens as what happened a few days ago was still etched into their heads.

However, once they saw who walked inside, they immediately relaxed.

"Isla! You're back!"

"Did nobody come back yet?" She asked as she moved to the nearest chair and sat down. The group immediately noticed a deep frown on her face.

'Why does she look even angrier than earlier today?' The kids thought to themselves, feeling even more concerned for their friend. Isla had been acting really odd the entire day and nobody knew why. They tried to ask her and only received ambiguous responses that explained nothing.

Arthur's complete disappearance was also a concern for them. They hadn't seen the boy in two days when he usually came to visit them at least once a day.

'They're by far the wildest type of creatures I have fought. They don't even feel like they coordinate their attacks at all. Their only desire is to shred you to pieces and eat you up.' Tapping his finger against the hard wall, Arthur recounted his fights with the Yetis.

He had already learned a good number of their attacks, abilities, and their strength in general and he could only come to one conclusion... These monsters will be extremely hard to deal with in groups.

Arthur's usual plan is to simply read his opponents and then act accordingly so that he can have the best counteraction. However, that style of fighting had one major flaw... It basically becomes completely useless against unpredictable enemies or when Arthur's senses aren't working.

He realized that in his fight against Sloth when the man completely nullified Arthur's senses. The boy was able to somehow counter that by simply suppressing his intentions and letting his body do the work instead.

But, that didn't truly fix the flaw and simply gave a temporary solution for it. Against brainless monsters like the Yeti, Arthur was going to face a far worse situation than his fight against Sloth.

That was why, he took the time to simply stare into the outside while his brain tried to find a solution to that flaw.

At that moment, when Arthur was contemplating everything, he suddenly was snapped out of his daze with a weird sound coming from somewhere far away. Blinking slightly, Arthur looked up.

'Hm? What's that?'

For a second, Arthur didn't know if he was just imagining things or not. But, when the sound came back again, he realized that it was indeed real. Something was making a deep noise far away from there.

Curiously, Arthur walked outside the cave to check as he was certain it came from. His ears perked up to listen closer. He walked a few steps away from the mouth of the cave and stopped before his eyes slowly moved to look at the behemoth of a mountain above him.

His eyes slowly squinted as he felt a weird sense of eeriness... The noise was not that of a living creature and more like a rumbling of sorts.

"What the hell is going on..." He muttered. The storm didn't allow Arthur to see far up so he couldn't figure out what he was listening to.

A few seconds passed and the rumbling grew slightly louder as if it was approaching him at a rapid pace.

That was when Deka rushed out of the cave in a hurry.
