An Extra’s POV

'Ah… I see. So that's how it is…'

Rey smiled as he stared at his opponent.

Even though his eyes were on the BigFoot-like creature, his senses had spread to the ceiling where it fell from.

'More of them are crawling above…'

Rey couldn't see them even if they tried. There was a reason he hadn't detected any until this one landed to confront him.

'A Camouflage Skill, maybe? Interesting…'

These creatures knew how to blend in well with their environment, so unless one really paid attention, it would be impossible to detect them.

'Even now, I can only properly sense their movements thanks to the sound they make and the slight distortions in space.

He couldn't properly see them.

'I already have [Stealth], which is more like turning me invisible. But I guess this isn't too bad…'

Once Rey raised his head and observed enough of the Skill, he reckoned that would be more than enough for it to be registered by [Doppel].

He sighed a little and turned his attention back to the BigFoot in front of him and gave a small smile to it.

The Monster appeared a little stunned, and Rey knew why.

"You guys were probably planning on getting the drop on me, right? You would act as the decoy while they would descend and make short work of me while I focused all my attention on you…"

"G-GRUUUU…?!"

From the flustered reaction of the Monster, Rey couldn't tell if it could actually understand him or if it was just upset to see him so calm.

Either way, it didn't really matter to him.

Not at this point.

"Sorry. As much as I'd like to play with you, I'm in a bit of a hurry now. There's someone I want to catch up to, so…" He raised his hand upward.

"… I can't afford to mess around."

There was no need to dawdle any longer while Adonis was advancing like a madman every day.
