"Roar!"
Varian roared into the empty air.
Then, he took a deep breath and filled the air in his lungs.
"Roaaar!"
This roar was slightly different from the last. It stressed different parts of the sound and stretched the middle.
Varian held his throat and wondered if it was still working. If he was a normal human, it'd have broken by now.
That was how difficult the rn sounds were.
His superhuman body took care of such issues and he focused solely on becoming a true rman.
After a lot of provocation, observation, and testing, Varian concluded the necessary 'roars' for a rman.
They were:
(A) Gather
(B) Attack
(C) Who To Target
He initially thought there'd be a roar signaling retreat. That was common sense. But common sense didn't apply to rn.
Even if they were on the verge of death, they'd fight.
It was an annoying trait for any human entering the lake.
Varian too didn't like the trait before.
But now.
"Roaar!"
He couldn't stop smiling.
*** *** ***
rn were simple creatures. A bit too simple, in fact.
They recognized their race through pheromones, followed an alpha, and attacked based on the alpha's roars.
Varian had the pheromones.
That's why, when he encountered three rn, they didn't attack him. They rely looked at him for a mont before they started to search for prey.
He wasn't their alpha. So, they didn't listen to him.
He needed to prove himself to be an alpha.
How?
He picked the most straightforward way.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
He beat the shit out of the rn.
"Kree~"
"Kree~"
"Kree~"
The three mid level 7 rn bowed their heads in subservience. They had accepted his lead.
"Roar!" Varian gave a simple roar and moved forward.
The three rn looked at each other and followed him.
Since he already surveyed the area surrounding them, Varian made sure they didn't run into any humans.
Instead, they ran into more and more rn.
From his frequent moving around, Varian discovered that rn had a strong sense of territorial ownership.
A territory's alpha never left their territory.
'Then what if another alpha steps in?' Varian did what he thought.
If the sa thing happened to animals, then they'd fight it out.
"Roar!"
The native territory's alpha with his five subordinate rn ca to battle him.
Varian smiled. 'They aren't much different from animals.'
'Then.'
Zap! Kacha!
The sky-blue surface of the lake reflected a golden light followed by a grey crack.
The alpha of the group knelt on the ground and bowed his head.
"Kree~"
His subordinates naturally followed suit.
"Heh." Varian smiled and gave a victory roar.
His henchn increase to nine.
Then twelve.
Fifteen.
Twenty.
…
Fifty.
Varian looked at the large group he made in a few hours and stroked his chin.
'They're pretty strong collectively.'
Even though he was careful, they ended up encountering humans.
But his group was able to defeat them with ease. Of course, Varian didn't let them kill the humans and only threw them out.
Still, this group filled Varian with confidence.
"Now then, it's finally ti for the high level 7s." Varian turned his gaze to the thirty-sixth mile.
*** *** ***
The prince on the thirty-sixth mile sighed in exasperation.
The strange rman escaped. It was surely a rare boss that'd have given him way more points.
"Fuck!"
Even though he was a high level 7, albeit every new one, he lost against a low level 7 rman.
A fricking rman!
"In my defense, it has multiple paths. Five or six? What a monster!" The prince sighed again.
"If only that bastard thing appears in front of my eyes, I won't let it escape. Neve—" The prince froze.
"This…" His eyes nearly bulged out of his sockets as he saw the rman.
The strange rman.
Because it was so strange, his lightning sense morized it. So, he recognized it instantly.
The prince's lips curled up into a smile that stretched from one ear to another.
"Hahaha! The heavens blessed with a second chance!" With a burst of reverberating laughter, the prince turned into a streak of lightning and reached the strange rman.
"Roar!" The rman looked him in the eye and roared.
It was a bit different from a usual rman roar, but the prince didn't care much. He was too ecstatic to notice such trivial details.
"You are done. You can't escape this ti!" The prince raised his hand and summoned a long lightning spear.
The fifty ters long spear soon condensed into just two ters. Its glow, however, intensified.
"Die!"
Shuaa!
Like a burning sun descending on earth, the spear reached Varian.
It seared the air and spiked the temperature. The lake's surface reflected a beautiful gold.
As the spear was about to touch the rman, the prince finally pumped his fist into the air.
"Ye—"
Boom! Bang!
His words stopped abruptly as more than a dozen attacks of various kinds drowned the lightning spear.
Water dragons. Gravity locks. Space breaks. Branch shields.
The lightning spear which seed to be capable of burning down a hill dissipated like a weak candle in the storm.
"Wha—" The prince opened his mouth to question but shut it in utter horror.
There were fifty fricking rn behind this special rman!
"Roar!"
With the signal of the strange rman, the fifty turned their gazes to him and channeled their powers.
Even though he wasn't attacked yet, the prince's body trembled.
'I knew it! I fucking knew it! This thing is a rare boss! More points! Or how could it have so many paths? Argh! Damn it! I should've killed this thing!'
His thoughts were futile.
The attacks materialized and were aid at the prince.
"Fuck!"
The prince looked at the special rman and thought of kidnapping him. But—
Kaa!
The space that continuously solidified around him made it clear that it was impossible.
"Roar!" Varian ordered.
Whoosh! Shuaa!
"Fucking hell!" The prince cursed and channeled his lightning mana.
His body turned into lightning and he broke the space lock.
As the attacks reached him, he didn't even try to block them and ran away.
Varian looked at their reversed roles and covered his face.
"Aha! Hahahaha!"
Only his laughter sounded for a long ti.
