"You guys…"
Brutt did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Earlier, when they were ambushed by this unknown monster while exploring the uncharted cave, he had instantly realized they stood no chance of winning.
Therefore, he decisively told them to go back to Harmonia and request reinforcements while he bought them time.
Along with that was his acceptance of his possible death.
Now, seeing the two people whom he had trusted again and again, come back for him, he felt speechless.
GRRRR—-
The grotesque monster growled, its grating voice snapped them back to their senses.
"Ha… okay."
Brutt sighed as he muttered an instant later, "I'm sorry, Regis. I'll be relying on you once again."
It lacked true intelligence, but it possessed enough instinct to recognize something unnatural— something dangerous.
The young human who had been on the verge of death mere moments ago now stood tall, unblemished.
Perto and Brutt cautiously backed away, retreating toward Vanessa's position.
