Chapter 264
"We are here."
Patriarch said as he looked down, and shrugged at the sight. Lander followed him and looked down, then he saw millions of spiders crawling from the forest. They looked hungry and desperate, they rushed to find food to satiate their hunger.
Lander looked closely and saw that some Hunters were doing their best to stop the monsters. There was a small village close to the forest and the evacuation was still not finished. The Hunters couldn't let these monsters go there. As he further looked around, he saw that Prince Shenten was among the Hunters who were fighting the monsters.
Lander looked at Patriarch with disbelief.
"Dis you send a royalty to fight a monster wave?"
That was atrocious, unbelievable, and idiotic. Lander sent Patriarch to protect and teach Prince Shenten, and yet, he let the Prince fight a battle alone.
"Okay, first of all, he is not alone. Second of all, this is part of my teachings, you know that Prince Shenten needs to become stronger. And third, these monsters are from Violet Portal. They are not dangerous."
"Not dangerous my ass! Violet Portal is dangerous for him, Prince Shenten can't face these monsters. He is still a warrior who do not have a Kampi."
Landee growled and glared at him, he wanted to choke this bastard.
"You know that King Timar, Shenten's father, fought monsters with the same strength as these. I'm just helping Shenten to follow the path of his father."
"Shenten and King Timar are different!"
Lander roared. As time passed, he realized that Patriarch had a few loose screws in his head. No, he already knew that Patriarch was insane but he did not know that it was this much.
"Patriarch, tell me how you teach your grandchild and her fiancee… You didn't throw them in a Violet Portal, right?"

He asked just to make sure that Patriarch didn't do dangerous stuff to his family.
"Oh that, it's a shame but no. We only have mock battles, although I broke their bones here and there, it was actually fun. Sigh, it's a shame that I didn't throw them to a Dungeon."
"….."
Never mind, and to simply put, Patriarch is a cat. He had a mischievous and playful attitude, just like a cat. The Patriarch regretted that he didn't throw Furrneka and Mikael to a Black Dungeon so that they become stronger.
Lander averted his gaze, he realized that Patriarch was worse than him.
'I think Hakanria is fortunate that I am his father. At least, I'm not brutal to him…'
A bad aftertaste filled him as he recalled his son. Hakanria was imprisoned in the high detention facility, the Numb Mountain Asylum. Lander only met him once and their relationship was still sour. Truth be told, most of his clan members tried to persuade him to have another child but Lander disregarded it.
He didn't want to have a child again and he was planning to give his position to the other clan member after everything settled down. He was tired of being tough, because of his position as the Alpha, Hakanria was pushed too hard just to reach his criteria to become the next Alpha.
'Perhaps I am the reason why he became like that… Still, I'm better compared to this old man.'
He glanced at Patriarch who looked relaxed as he gazed down watching how Prince Shenten fought the monsters. Shenten's head was bleeding but he didn't stop moving his arms and petrified them.
"See, he can fight them."
Patriarch said with pride.
"And he has injuries."
"But he can fight them."
"…"
Lander sighed and stopped talking.
They landed on the ground close to the Hunters. Lander saw that Patriarch was doing something.
"Hm, why are you stretching Patriarch?"
"Isn't obvious, I will help them. You know, just to burn some calories."
"But I thought -"
"You thought that I can not use my arms. Well, they are metal and I can't turn them into claws just like my natural arms. But they are actually tough because they are made of metal crystals that are harvested in the Dungeon so I can use them like a hammer."
He grinned, then he didn't wait for a second and ran towards the multitude of spiders.
"Well, I guess it's not bad to lose yourself."
Lander shrugged, his injured eyes that he got from the last battle were twitching and he believed that it was telling him to join the battle. As a Beastmen, his natural reaction to battles is always with ferocity. He started charging and lost his thoughts for a while, he went all out just like the Patriarch.
The two Elders feast over the spiders. They brutally tore their limbs bare hands, the Patriarch and the Alpha were Beastmen and they love battles. Now that they decided to have fun in this spider-filled forest, they won't go with just a simple bang, they would go with full throttle and fucking murder these poor monsters. The Elders roared as their hands got filled with the blood of their prey, they were true to their instinct.
The Hunters who witnessed their brutality were awestruck. They completely stopped their movements, their intuition was telling them that they might get caught up in the bloodbath if they tried to join. They lowered their hands and watched as the two Elders massacred the spiders with animality, they gulped and their backs were sweating.
'So this is the power of Elders…' They thought.
Around an hour later, the forest was filled with the carcasses of the spiders. Even the Boss died in the hands of both Elders, in fact, they excitedly rushed to the Boss and killed it with a swoop.
The forest was now safe, some monsters tried to escape but the Hunters kept the perimeter, and none successfully escaped. The Hunters expressed their gratitude and said that they would give the Elders all of the rewards but Patriarch and Lander didn't accept them. Both of them didn't have Inventories nor spatial storage.
As for Prince Shenten and Colt, they were in tatters and had ragged breathings. Fighting monsters from Violet Portal was hard for them.
