Summoned from another world, the hero is Ultraman Zeta.
Chapter 16 Life and Death in a Single Thought
Today is a lucky day for the Komodo tigers, with a large herd of prey right in front of them, completely unaware of their presence.
The claws that could easily slice through ironwood retracted, and the giant beast crept forward, hiding in the forest. In just a few minutes, the Komodo tiger had changed positions without warning, but its eyes never left its target.
They chose the best location near the herd of winged horses and carefully selected prey that was easy to hunt and plump.
The camouflage scales allow the Komodo tiger to blend into its environment, and the dim light of the setting sun makes it even harder for the Pegasus to discern its surroundings.
Exceptional vision is one of the key features that allows the Pegasus to gallop through the air. Standing on the hillside, the Pegasus relies on its eyesight to be alert to its surroundings. If it sees anything unusual, it will immediately call out to warn its companions below who are eating vegetation to flee.
Once the winged horses get going, taking to the air is no problem. With this survival tool, the winged horses are confident that no predator can catch up with their speed.
Based on its past hunting experience, the Komodo Tiger would not act rashly; a monster that relies solely on brute force cannot stand at the top of the food chain. Approaching little by little, circling around step by step, a single attack on the winged limbs or throat would be enough to bring the Pegasus to its knees. The Komodo Tiger's confidence in its ability to finish off the Pegasus with a single blow was not an exaggeration.
Knowing the characteristics of Komodo Tiger and Pegasus well, Ajiu was very anxious. Pegasus, which had an absolute advantage in speed, was facing Komodo Tiger, which was famous for its disguise and superhuman strength.
Ah Jiu had used all the magic that enhanced her body; one step was equivalent to five steps normally, and she could leap straight to the treetops. Her mastery of magic had reached its peak at this moment.
But Ajiu still felt that this was too slow. It couldn't keep up with the winged pegasus taking off, nor could it keep up with the Komodo tiger's claw strike. Humans alone could not directly intervene in the natural struggle between giant monsters, so Ajiu had to find a way to break the deadlock in the few minutes before his body enhancement ended.
"Where is the Komodo tiger now, Zeta?" "Just a few hundred meters ahead. It's trying to approach a winged pegasus that's far from its pack."
A-Jiu leaped up from the treetops, soaring above the canopy to take in the vast expanse of scenery ahead, allowing Zeta to pinpoint the monster's location and also enabling A-Jiu to find her own target.
The windstorm magic landed to cushion the impact, and Ajiu rolled to her feet and continued along the river. This wasn't the direction the monsters were, but it was where Ajiu was looking for.
A roaring stone is a stone imbued with sonic magic energy. By striking it, it can emit a sound similar to the roar of a ferocious beast. Some small animals, unable to compete with large giants for vegetation or water, will strike the roaring stone to scare the giants away. They then feast on the giants while they flee, and by the time the giants realize something is wrong and return, the small animals have already eaten and drunk their fill.
“I’m afraid my abilities are insufficient to stop the Komodo tigers or attract the attention of the winged horses, but I don’t need to rely solely on force. By using the numerous roaring stones along the riverbank, I can quickly alert the winged horse herd. I can’t make the Komodo tigers reveal themselves, but as long as I can warn the winged horses that there is danger here, that’s enough!”
Upon spotting its target, Ajiu immediately sprinted towards it. The previous rapid run had already exhausted Ajiu's stamina, and at this final moment, the adrenaline in its body gave its weary body a final surge of power. Ajiu desperately reached the Roaring Stone and took a step straight towards the magical boulder in front of it.
The boulders shattered and scattered in all directions. Haruki, wielding Belial Twilight, raced towards the location of the Winged Horse herd. All obstacles in his path ultimately became whetstones for Belial Twilight.
"Hahaha, let's just charge straight through and show these monsters what I'm capable of! Even the most powerful predators are nothing more than stepping stones for me to make all monsters submit!"
Belial Twilight was unusually excited after unleashing its power, slashing, soaring into the air, and crashing straight down the densely forested hillside with its radiance, nothing could stop them.
Unlike A-Kyu and Zeta, who were protecting the Winged Pegasus, Haruki and Belial Twilight were after the Komodo Tiger Beast, wanting to defeat the creature that terrified all the monsters here.
"Won't this alert the monster you're looking for, Belial-san? What if it gets away?" "It's alright. If it does attract attention, it'll be the Pegasus who will notice first. Once the Pegasus are alerted, the monster will show itself!"
Haruki offered his opinion from the side. Although he was being led by the Demon Sword, he still had the initiative in his own actions. The choice of route and whether to cause damage were all up to him. After all, Haruki did not want to cause too much harm to the forest because of his actions.
Belial Twilight couldn't wait for a proper fight. He had already figured out that the monster was lurking with prey in mind. If he and Haruki really alerted the Pegasus, then the intelligent predator would surely take advantage of the chaos in the Pegasus herd to strike. This way, being able to witness the monster's attack methods first would be a good thing for him and Haruki.
The Pegasus standing on the hillside did notice Haruki's movements, but when it saw that the newcomer was a human, the Pegasus responsible for warning didn't intend to pay much attention.
Humans are inherently difficult to understand, so any strange behavior they exhibit is not surprising to monsters.
On their previous lands, the Pegasus frequently interacted with humans who practiced magic, and those humans were far more eccentric than Haruki before them. Having witnessed the various wonders humans created with magic, the Pegasus no longer felt any awe towards them.
The inaction of the Pegasus herd seemed to please the Komodo tiger. Spotting a Pegasus that had strayed far from the pack, the Komodo tiger stealthily approached it from behind, and the hunt began.
A winged pegasus, far from the herd, discovered some very appetizing vegetation in the shade and immediately stopped there to devour it. The place offered both tranquility away from the other winged pegasus and coolness from the setting sun, making the winged pegasus feel extremely happy.
The predator lurking in the shadows was equally delighted. With a sudden pounce, it pinned the winged pegasus to the ground, opened its massive jaws, and bit its snout. Its sharp teeth tore through the flesh, and the monster's tongue once again tasted the sweetness of blood.
The sudden shift from heaven to hell left the Pegasus's mind blank, driven only by its survival instincts. Its usual pride in its abilities proved utterly useless against a true apex predator.
Its robust body was pressed down by the Komodo tiger's giant claws, and its powerful limbs were helpless against the monster that attacked from behind. It wanted to roar hysterically to call for its companions' attention, but its mouth, which could once roar loudly, could now only feel the fleshy barbs on the predator's tongue.
A single slash shattered everything in mid-air. The entire herd of winged horses looked around in confusion. The Komodo tiger, carrying its prey, dodged the attack and looked at the humans walking towards it from a distance.
Haruki, wielding the Demon Sword, approached the Komodo Tiger step by step, showing no fear despite the monster's towering size.
"Let go of that pathetic wretch and come fight me, Supreme Monster!"
Yaohui raised his demon sword and swung it high, unleashing a burst of demonic energy that created a purple aura. A sudden, unusually ferocious roar came from afar behind him, seemingly a perfect match, causing the Komodo tigers to retreat in fear.
The appearance of the eccentric humans and the sudden, strange roars—these inexplicable events forced the Komodo tiger to take the situation seriously. It released the nearly dying winged horse from its mouth, allowing it to take its last deep breath before its life ended.
The Komodo tiger licked the blood from the corner of its mouth, wanting to see just how much the human beneath its feet really amounted to.
