Chapter 95 POCKET DIMENSION (7)
No. 80: "Awahhhhh, that was what I call a quality sleep."
No. 9: "You're finally awake; 33 hasn't returned yet."
No. 80: "Where is he? Is he still doing reconnaissance?"
No. 9: "No, he went outside to..."
No80: "To what?"
No. 9: "I really should not have let him go alone. He went outside to catch a living 7th stage beast."
No. 80: "What the f***, why would he do something so crazy like that?"
No. 9: "He said it's part of the plan to finish the mission."
No. 80: "How long has he been out?"
No. 9: "8-9 hours, give or take."
No. 80: "F***, we need to go and look for him."
No. 9: "Wait, what if he comes back and finds the cave empty?"
Number 80 stopped moving as he was about to suggest that number 9 stay in the camp in case number 33 has returned.
But before he could, a sudden huge impact shook the ground near the cave entrance.
No. 9: "What is this?"
No. 80: "Let's go, get ready for a fight."
Their nerves tensed up as they held their weapons tightly in their hands, slowly making their way out of the cave.
What greeted them outside was out of their expectations, as they were ready to engage an attacking beast only to see a huge one knocked out with their junior on top of it.
Alan: "Oh, you're awake, senior. Say hi to big piggy. He is our key to finishing the mission."
No. 80: "What the hell are you doing? Is it still alive?"
Alan: "Yep, just in a very deep sleep within dreams."
No. 9: "It's good that you're back."
Alan: "It is good to be back; other than our new big friend, I brought some meat with me, so why don't we have a meal? I am famished."
No80: "I'm hungry, but f*** that for now. Can you please explain what you are doing bringing a living, breathing 7th stage beast here? I don't even want to know how you did it; I just want to know why."
Alan: "I'm hungry and severely sleep deprived, and as the saying goes, there is no talk or work on an empty stomach. After dinner, I will explain everything."
It didn't take long for the delicious smell to spread throughout the small cave, playing on everyone's taste buds.
After having a much-needed delicious meal, the three of them gathered around the sleeping beast.
No80: "Will it suddenly wake up?"
Alan: "Not for another 12 hours."
No. 9: "Now, Junior, you should start explaining your insane plan."
Alan: "It's not insane; it's actually very safe."
No. 80: "Go on, we are listening."
Alan: "As you know, we already made the poison that is capable of killing a 9th stage beast, so we have the important tool to finish the mission.
This is the first part of my plan, which is already completed successfully.
An hour and a half later, his terminal received a message from number 80.
No. 80: "1/3 of the distance is clear. Make your jump."
Alan immediately exited the cave, standing right above the huge body of the boar beast. He teleported, vanishing into thin air.
It was as if lady luck was smiling at them as they did not encounter any obstacles along the way to the target's territory.
No. 80: "You're here."
Alan: "Yes, is the target inside?"
No. 9: "As always, standing guard."
Alan: "Okay, I have injected the poison inside the piggy before I got out of the cave. Now we need to wake it up and send it on its way."
No. 80: "Why do you want to wake it up? Let's just leave it at the edge of the territory."
Alan: "They are 9th stage beasts who have a very high intelligence, not as much as a human but definitely way higher than the animal you think they are.
If we deliver a sleeping beast to them, they will definitely find out that there's something wrong."
No. 9: "So you want to wake it up and lure it inside the target territory while staging a fight, then retreating when the target attacks, leaving the poor pig alone."
Alan: "You both stay hidden behind the rocks; I will play the cat-and-mouse game with the piggy."
No. 9: "No, you did more than enough; let me do it."
Alan: "Again, I can teleport in case of danger, so I think I am the one to do it."
No. 80: "Don't fight, number nine. He wants to do it, and he's the best option, so let him, and you 33 be careful."
Alan: "Always."
Both his seniors left as they hid a distance away, watching over their junior who was waiting for the boar beast to wake up.
Like a drunk old man staggering all around unable to stand straight, the drug boar beast was waking up as it looked at the same prey that was running from him earlier.
Proven to be easy to provoke and overwhelmed with anger. The boar attacked Alan as they both continued the game of cat and mouse.
Perhaps because of the drugs or maybe the anger, the boar did not feel or sense the overwhelming aura of this territory that he entered.
Alan: "Here we go, he's here."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
The boar froze in its place after hearing the intimidating cry coming from another more terrifying beast than itself.
It immediately wanted to run, but the mouse came back to bite the cat's legs.
Alan out of nowhere appeared behind it, attacking the joints of its legs, severely limiting the boar's mobility.
From within the gorge, a massive, terrifying bear-like beast moving at a speed that was unimaginable for something that big.
When it saw Alan attacking the boar, it immediately targeted him.
Not for the feeling of camaraderie between the beasts but as a payback for the previous insects that attacked him and his mate.
But sadly for this powerful and intimidating beast, Alan did not stay for the after party as he teleported as far as he could, leaving one terrified beast and another terrifying one.
As Alan regrouped with the other two, he could not help but ask.
Alan: "Did the target take the bait?"
No. 80: "Let's say a few words for Biggie's soul."
No. 9: "The target killed the bait and brought it back home just like you wanted."
Relief was the only thing that Alan felt right now.
