“Oh, Zaza . You must calm down . There is no need to escape . Especially since you’d have to wear those pesky suits once you leave my barrier . Besides, don’t you agree that it would be faster to just get rid of these rude monsters who are disturbing our meal? In the first place, I doubt such small fry could even get into my barrier…”
“What are you talking about!? Things are never that easy! Stop this nonsense about barriers . We need to make sure everyone gets changed while the monsters are watching from the outside…”
“I told you to calm down . There is no reason to be alarmed over such weak creatures . I wouldn’t even need to do it myself . Beretta could do it . ”
“Mister Beretta!?”
“It would be a simple thing if I were ordered…”
“What…!?”
Veldora realized that Beretta would get all of the credit again, but he didn’t mind this one time .
After all, he had already become quite popular through cooking the meat .
And it wasn’t just the children, even the adults were singing his praise a moment ago .
They had exhausted so much of their energy during the past few days of tiresome travel, and then he had served the best barbecue meat imaginable .
So it was no wonder they adored him now .
And while he was annoyed that these Super Beasts had interrupted things, in Veldora’s mind, they were too weak to pay much mind .
Of course, this was only by Veldora’s standards .
When judged as a monster, they were about Rank, and an especially strong Super Beast might be the equivalent of the Psuedo-Demon Lord Class .
The Super Beasts came with such dangerous special abilities including ultrasonic waves, poison, and degrading enzymes . Even if there were some who considered them weak, they were still a dangerous opponent .
However, this world did not have magic essence .
The Super Beast was restricted to the laws of this world . That made them a joke to Veldora .
While Karman and his men had weapons of science that had posed as an unknown threat, these Super Beasts did not .
This was all clear through Veldora’s ‘Seeker of Truth . ’
Veldora was not interested in bullying the weak, in other words, he did not care about the spotlight in this particular instance .
Besides, the Super Beasts may have just understood his strength by instinct, because they had not moved in to attack ever since their arrival .
From Veldora’s point of view, he did not want to attack any who feared him so much .
“To be honest, they are no different than birds, dogs, cats, rats, or snakes who have had a little genetic modification . Beasts with a little extra power and abilities, I suppose?”
Even Ramiris agreed with him .
Beretta understood it too, but he was not enthusiastic .
He would move if ordered, that was all .
“Damn it, it’s no use! The Plasma Gatling is too weak! They are able to regenerate so quickly that we are dealing no damage!!”
Karman shouted as he approached them .
They had known it would be a tough fight, but now they were out of ammunition .
Without ammunition, they could not attack . And so he had returned .
“Karman . Fear has affected your ability to make decisions . You should stop such futile attacks once you suspect it will not be effective . You could have raised your chances of survival by hitting the ground or boulders instead, causing a dust cloud . However, it is all unnecessary now . After all, I am right here!”
“Yes, that’s true…what? What are you…?”
Karman readily agreed with the first point .
He regretted his mistake deeply .
But at the same time, understanding of the rest of Veldora’s words came, and he was confused .
“Look . I do not know why, but there is a mysterious barrier surrounding us . ”
“Mysterious? But you did it, Master…”
“Shut up! This safety zone was created against unimaginable odds, and now the Super Beasts are unable to enter . ”
Veldora ignored Ramiris and started creating his own story .
He was acting as if his earlier explanation had not happened, which of course, was completely futile .
“No, no . That’s not what you’ve been saying . You said that the barrier was made by you…”
“Zaza . You really should stop interrupting me . Who cares about what was said earlier? The problem is these beasts . Look, one is trying to come after Karman!”
Zaza was quick to point it out to him, but Veldora was hardly bothered .
Not only that, but he tried to direct everyone’s attention to a monster that was trying to invade the barrier .
Veldora was pointing at a particular monster that had been chasing Karman .
Perhaps it was so enraged that it forgot itself, because it charged forward, ignoring the warning that its instincts were raising .
A most dramatic change occurred the moment the Super Beast touched the barrier .
“GRRRR—GYAGYAGYAAGHH—!?”
It let out a horrible shriek as if it were experiencing unimaginable agony .
Upon closer inspection, the tiger-like stripes were falling away and the tentacles on its back began to crumble like dust .
“What!? What is happening?”
“Mister Veldora . Did you do something!?”
Zaza asked in shock, but Veldora did not answer .
He just inspected the Super Beast quietly and muttered to himself .
The tiger-like Super Beast frantically jumped away from the barrier .
It no longer tried to enter . It just paced in front of it as if it were angry .
The stripes and tentacles had already started to regenerate .
It hadn’t gotten through the barrier, but it did not take much damage in the end .
