Chapter 281
[…Grrk.]@@novelbin@@
At some point, Ortos regained consciousness and let out a rasping chuckle as he turned his gaze toward the humans.
How utterly foolish.
They had not even finished him off and were instead busy beating each other senseless.
What a laughable, ridiculous display.
Of course—
Ssshhhhh…
For Ortos, this was nothing short of a stroke of luck.
[Sssssaaah!]
As expected of a high-tier monster, his regenerative abilities had already kicked in.
While those two idiots were too busy brawling, he was recovering at a rapid pace.
Even the head with the broken neck was slowly realigning itself, knitting together thanks to the other still-intact head.
Ortos.
A monster that could not die as long as one of its two heads or its serpentine tail survived.
A creature with three lives.
However, regeneration required nutrients, and unfortunately, Ortos had not eaten anything today.
Which meant—he had no choice but to consume his own flesh.
By sacrificing his own body mass as fuel, he could accelerate the healing process.
His size would shrink significantly, and it would take a long time to regain his former strength, but—
Survival was more important.
Strength could always be rebuilt.
Once he escaped, he would devour prey, regain his body, and return to full power.
[Grrrrk.]
Sssss…
And so—while those foolish humans were preoccupied with their own fight—
Ortos activated his invisibility once more.
He erased his presence.
He erased his form.
What do you think?
