"Came I come with you???" James asked with a lot of hope in his eyes.

'Sigh….' Alex sighed inwardly.

He knew it was going to be something bothersome. He didn't have a problem with James following him, but he knew that he would have to look after James as well, after all, James wouldn't be able to fight a group of A-ranked beasts alone.

"Please, let me follow you.

I have seen you fighting with swords and I could tell that your every move contains mastery, so I just wanted to look at you fighting.

Maybe I can get some kind of enlightenment….."

James spoke, though his last line was just a whisper.

Alex looked at James for a while before he spoke.

"All right, try not to fall behind," Alex spoke and then turned to his right,

"Let's go, pup," He spoke while patting Noctura's head.

'Un.' Noctura nodded her head.

James, however, almost attacked Noctura who somehow appeared out of nowhere, but he stopped himself when he saw it was.

But now that he noticed it, Noctura had been invisible almost all the time just like Ann, and none of the raiders could see her. This made James think that maybe Noctura was an A-ranked beast with camouflage ability, but he didn't dwell much on it and spoke.

"I will bring my weapon, give me a second."

James directly ran towards the tent to get his weapon without even waiting for Alex's reply, not like Alex replied to him in the first place.

He came running back with his sword in seconds and spoke.

"We can go now."

Alex nodded his head and dashed toward the right of their camp. James didn't lag behind as he ran behind Alex as well, and they reached their destination in seconds.

When they reached the spot, James became alert, but no matter how much he looked he couldn't find the enemies.

"No matter how dangerous it looks for me, do not interfere, understood?" James then turned towards Alex in confusion when he heard Alex's words.

James had seen Alex kill herds after herds of A-ranked beasts and he knew that it wouldn't be hard for Alex to defeat some S-rank beasts as well, so he didn't get why Alex said that.

But then, for the first time he felt it, he felt that Alex had grown weak, weaker than himself.

Now, why would James feel that when we all know that Alex could kill James even with his stats lowered? James felt like that because of the mana pressure lessening, giving him the image that Alex had grown weaker than himself.

"Wha-" Before he could speak something, Alex cut him off with a serious face.

"No matter how dangerous it looks for me, do not interfere, understood?"

James swallowed his saliva as he saw Alex's serious face and those red eyes staring at him. Something told him that he shouldn't say 'no' here and he listened to whatever it was.

"Yes…." James spoke with his head lowered.

"Good," Alex spoke with a smile, causing James to be dumbfounded.

After all, he was new to the instant changes in Alex's expressions. James felt like the previous serious expression was just his imagination. But the cold sweat on his back told him otherwise.

"All right, let's bring them out of their hiding, shall we?" Alex spoke and suddenly 5 water arrows appeared above them and all of them shot in different spots.

The water arrows were quite weak, with very little mana in them since Alex was just using them to tell his enemies that they were not hidden from his eyes.

The arrows went and crashed on 5 different rocks, all of them black in color and almost invisible at night, but then....

"KKRREEEEEEE!!" X5

James and Alex could see the 5 stones moving with annoying high-pitched screams.

James now understood why Alex had decided to engage with these monsters away from the camp as this sound alone would've been enough to wake everyone in the camp, it was just that annoying.

As the creatures moved closer, James could finally tell what they were. They were actually just large scorpions, but large here means really large as they were around 1.5 meters high, even if we don't talk about their length.

Just then James saw Alex running towards the scorpions, and he was about to shout out to him but stopped as Alex's words reverberated in his mind, 'Do not interfere...'

In the end, James just stood there with full alert while being ready to jump into batter anytime. After all, even if Alex told him not to interfere no matter what, James wasn't planning on letting Alex die.

He still didn't know why Alex suddenly became weak, but he thought that maybe it was some kind of drawback of one of his abilities.

Just what kind of face would James make if he knew that Alex had lowered his power himself, that too is just so that he could enjoy a fight?

............…

Alex ran towards the beasts while he noted the movement pattern of the beasts. He noted their blind spots while also looking at their features.

It didn't require him to be a genius to tell that those stingers of the beasts would be poisonous, while the pincers would have a strong grip. He could see the sharp edges of the pincers; it was as if they were made to cut their prey into pieces.

Their pointed legs could pierce their prey if stepped upon, it was like their whole body was a weapon and this is what Alex was thankful for.

The stronger the enemies are the harder the fight is and the harder the fight is the more enjoyment he gets.

Just like that, Alex arrived in front of a scorpion that flung its stinger at Alex.

Alex just smiled as he was sure that he was going to enjoy this 'fight in the night'.
