Rohan didn't know how the Awakened below him couldn't sense the approaching Spike Beast, but a bad feeling churned up from his gut ever since he spotted it.
"Elane! Ready your bow!"
He turned to his side and sort of half-shouted, half-whispered to Elane, keeping an eye on the looming Spike Beast below, still making its way over to the group of Awakened completely unnoticed.
Rohan could almost swear the Spike Beast harboured a level of intelligence far above that of any other beast he'd ever come across. Even the Elite E rank couldn't quite live up to the careful and calculated movements he was witnessing from a mere Normal F tier.
Something was strange about that beast. Very strange…
Even on its lonesome, the Spike Beast occasionally checked its own surroundings like any human would in the same situation. Like it was afraid of being discovered, or of being watched.
"If these guys don't discover its presence before it comes within 20 metres, take it out!"
