"Deso...Desolate Beast? What's going on??"
Humboldt was stunned.
Although he quickly regained his composure, upon realizing that what was charging towards him seemed to indeed be a Desolate Beast, even with Humboldt's age and experience, he couldn't help but cry out, "How...how could it be a Desolate Beast?!"
Andrew fully understood this reaction.
"When I first sensed the presence of that Desolate Beast through 'Water Spirit Sensing', my reaction was actually quite similar to his..."
It's fortunate that Humboldt's injury was in the lungs and not the heart.
Otherwise, if the old mage had been frightened to death by the suddenly appearing Desolate Beast...uh, it would seem like an acceptable outcome.
In the end, it was still absurd for Ivan, as a Desert Hunter, to bring back a Desolate Beast as an ally—this incident itself was utterly absurd!
Desert Hunters and Desolate Beasts are natural enemies, mortal foes, and whenever they encounter each other, it's a fight to the death.
