The Primal Hunter

Chapter 534

Miranda’s mind was a bit jumbled from the powerful aura, and it took her a moment to formulate a response. This resulted in her not being the first one to answer.

”I sincerely apologize for disturbing your area,” Mahowny said as he bowed. His party members followed suit, their nervousness palpable. Sweat was pouring down their brows as they also realized that the monster that had appeared was more than any of them could handle.

It had to be mid-tier C-grade… which meant it was above level 250. The group from the United Cities Alliance could probably handle a weak C-grade using their hounds, but the snake was an entirely different issue. It was leagues above anything they could even touch.

”We are only here for this woman and will leave once done,” Mahowny further said. “And we are more than willing to compensate you for allowing us this.”

The snake did not even turn to him but kept staring at Miranda. Miranda felt the pressure and finally came up with an answer. ”Miranda Wells… I work for the Malefic’s Chosen.”

As if a switch had been flipped, the humanoid snake’s eyes opened wide. ”Really? Is he here?”

”No, sadly not,” Miranda said, the pressure on her instantly alleviated.

”Oh…” the snake deflated.

Miranda saw the Mahowny and the others had turned white as sheets, now matching the complexion of the snake girl. They looked like they were about to plan their escape already, having realized they were in a very perilous situation.

”I was being chased here by enemies of the Chosen,” Miranda quickly pounced on the opportunity to remove the elites from the United Cities Alliance. ”They aim to kill me and hurt the Chosen through that.”

This got a response out of the snake as she turned her head to the party of five.

Mahowny instantly raised his hands in defense. ”This is all a misunderstanding, I-”

He didn’t get further. Miranda wasn’t sure what happened, but one moment he was talking, and the next, there was no head on his shoulders. The movement had been too fast for her to see. It wasn’t even certain if it was teleportation or just incredibly fast movement.

”Did you know that humans have these unwanted movements in their aura when they lie? I learned that from the ones I acquired to perfect this human form,” the snake said in an insidious voice. It looked like she hadn’t even moved as she now stood there with a severed head, parts of the spine hanging out.

Her rhetorical question did not have a chance to be answered as movements came from below. The aura of the Alabaster Snake had completely masked them as three C-grade snakes shot up from the water, and within less than five seconds, the hounds and human party were all dead.

Miranda could only stand there and stare as it happened. She had hoped for assistance, but the response had been prompt and unexpectedly harsh. There was no questioning or doubt in the snake; she had simply acted and wiped them out unceremoniously.
