Chapter 659: Details

"I was able to survive, I believe because of a certain monster\'s blood that I had managed to kill while it devoured my arm. We both fell and it covered me entirely with its blood. I must have passed out due to exhaustion and blood loss for a few hours. So, when I woke up, I found myself alone in the darkness. Of course, I did not stay still and got moving. After quickly tending to my wound and observing my surrounding, I found a couple of dark fae bodies that still had some blood left in them for me to drink." After Zolan said that, he looked a little guilty, knowing that he had capitalised from the misfortune of his fellow allies. But in that situation, there truly was no other choice for him and Evie understood completely. Thus, she nodded kindly and only hummed her understanding. Only then, Zolan continued with his recollection.         

"I had to drink their blood to last… but that was all I could find. I tried to get out, but I found out later that the exit had already been blocked by so many monsters. They were gathered there like soldiers waiting to be released. I had no choice but to stay and hide where I was. Then I eventually learned that the monsters were actually ignoring me. Well… at least the higher-level monsters like the giants and that big fat green hippo. The lower-levelled ones, however, could detect me. I believe that the lower-levelled ones have a sense of smell while the higher levels don\'t have it. I had tested it out a few times and I was right." Zolan narrated as Evie listened. And as he recounted all these, his eyes were already observing the battle down below as they flew over on Onyx.     

"I was able to survive by clinging on to the giants and the hippos. The monsters couldn\'t tell at all. Those were the type of monsters I\'m talking about." He then pointed to a group of monsters.     

"The level three monsters." Evie said. Zolan was not there when the king had declared the new division of levels for the monsters, so Evie updated him on that way of categorisation. "You\'re saying that if one gets covered with the blood of a level three monster, the level four and five ones will ignore you?"     

"Yes. I\'ve proven that." Zolan confirmed.     

That was a huge and important information! Evie was sure that they could make use of this detail in their next strategy meeting on how to deal with the monsters.     

Evie was about to bring up the dilemma about the level five monsters when they were interrupted by the sight of a certain troop that was terribly being pushed back and was urgently needing back-up.     

Evie had no choice but to help out first or that particular troop would be slaughtered.     

Onyx spiralled down. His fire blazed in a steady stream as Evie used her powerful magic to hit the leaping giants down before they could even enter into their defence radius.     

Zolan had served as her third eye and was like an extension of her brain. He was quick to make the right decision every time. Giving Evie all the time she needed to focus on her attacks and less time being spent in decision making and brainstorming on the finer details of the attacks and directions they should be coming from.     

Once they were back up above and soaring over their troops again, Zolan continued telling her more when Evie told him about the level five monsters.     

"There is a way to kill them. But the danger with those monsters is their ability to self-destruct, and very quickly at that. It seemed as though that they do not need any cooling off time to explode. The moment they sensed any danger nearby, they would just self-destruct and kill everyone around them." Zolan started. "When I found that it was impossible for me to get out, I decided to go deeper into the abyss instead. I was telling myself I might as well go find some useful information rather than just wait around to die. I also believed you\'d come to save me. But as I get more starved and weaker, I started to lose focus and felt as though I was losing my mind. That was when I ended up attempting to kill the green hippo I was stuck with. I\'ve managed to climb into its back then to its head. I can\'t tell exactly what made me aim for its big ass lone eye due to my failing consciousness. But as luck would have it, that is its one and only weakness. And I had hit the jackpot!"     

Evie was speechless for a moment. Earlier during the discussion, Evie, the king and the leaders had actually come up with a theory that the level-five monster\'s weakness must be their lone big eye. The problem with that was that before any weapon could even reach it, they would have already self-destruct.     

"I believe the only way to kill that monster is to disguise oneself and then have the monster stay unsuspecting. Once one has reached its head, they then can stab the eye before it could initiate their self-destruct mechanism." Zolan added.     

"So after someone coated themselves with the level three monster\'s blood, the monsters will not be able to sense danger? I noticed that the monsters have the ability to sense danger. It self-destructs before mine or the dragon\'s magic or any of our weapons could even reach them." Evie reasoned.     

Zolan was quiet for a moment. "Could it be… that it\'s because I was too weak at that time that the monster could not sense any danger at all? That must be right… that must explain it!" Zolan looked like he was pretty confident he was right in his assumption.     

"You\'re saying that we need to send the weakest soldiers to kill the largest and deadliest monsters…" Evie stated in in disbelief.     

"I believe so." Zolan looked certain. "We will be needing the injured. Better to have the weakest ones do it."     

"Alright. We need everyone to know about this now. We don\'t have much time to waste."
