12:00
Reino and the others have departed from their tent to continue their mission
Their uniforms were tattered and had slash marks everywhere
rudy even had it worse all he wears now was just a simple t-shirt
the only reason they were able to win against someone who could yet win against rudy was because his power type wasn't defense and also because his reaction wasn't fast enough he wasn't able to escape from the blast
While Reino's group was able to avoid the explosion due to Herul's cooperation, the same also applied to their chances of survival which were increased due to the preparations and potions they had stored before their departure.
Their horse-drawn carriage still survived the explosion because Rudy placed it in another place underground which had also been given mud for protection and food, drink and light were prepared for the horse down there even thought the horse became worried and uncontrollable after the explosion and we have to calm him down for a moment
Their goal is to examine the plants and water in this forest for checking as their final stop in this forest
after they get the composition of the water here they can go home safely
but the hard part is finding the water
a lot of monsters were drinking the same water and by the size comparison those monsters had to drink quite a lot of water
Reino and the others have walked over 5 hours just to find the water but they never found it
"I hope we can go home as soon as possible, it's very tired."
those were the words of an inexperienced person who went to the battlefield without preparation or who could be called alaz
It was true that half of us were exhausted, especially Rudy who had bandages around his body
"We have to be patient a little more"
other people were all chatting about various things but Herul and Reino noticed something strange since this morning
there was someone following them from behind
Reino was the first to find out about this, followed by Herul who discovered Reino's strange behavior
Reino has done a lot of telepathy with Herul to discuss the stalker but telepathy is only Reino's power so it is one way communication and the way for them to discuss is that Herul has to blink his eyes once if not and twice slowly if yes
they can't just tell other members about the person following them because most likely the person following them will also know that they are already aware of that person
even thought Reino could use his telepathy to give to others, but because he only had a little spiritual energy left, Reino couldn't do it, besides, the fewer people who knew about this stalker, the safer messages they were.
there was one more oddity about these stalkers when Reino first noticed that there was only one person following them but as time went on more and more people followed them
the number of people following them now was more than ten and it was possible that all of them were magicians
with unknown power
The thing that Reino is most worried about is fighting without preparation, but in the time since they started following Reino and the others, Reino has had time to prepare.
the same goes for herul as he also makes a few plans in his head for any action reino takes
Along the way, Reino collected several plants and insects to try out the composition of the potion he had just learned
Reino had collected quite a lot of plants while they were all researching the composition of this forest
and because that was the job of Reino and the others, the stalkers were not suspicious of Reino's action besides they just sat there and watched
Reino was concocting a potion that he knew quite well
The composition of this potion is
corpse moss, crow brain, devouring fungus
reino get a corpse moss and crow brains from the belly of a giant monster
that giant monster was eating a crow and reino succeeded in taking that thing and because corpse moss doesn't just grow in humans but also reino monsters can find them easily as for devouring fungus this forest has quite a lot of it disguised as moss
This potion was the same that reino uses in his thief when he first meet alaz and the others
At that time reino infiltrated the stadium with this potion
The last thing to do is mix the ingredients with water, the water reino uses is their water supply
However to not attract the stalker herul does some random things in the horse carriage with doing something suspicious
which makes most stalkers lose their focus and divert their attention to herul
This made Reino successfully make the potion and all that was left was to throw it at the stalkers who were gathered and run as fast as possible
Reino was hoping to their survive and save against them
