From what I could tell, there were at least about twenty monsters surrounding the lair. And among them, I could sense this one powerful presence that made the others with him look like some weakling. An alpha-class monster. I concluded.

Looking at my current condition, I couldn't help but sigh. This is really bad, huh? According to what was displayed on my Status Screen, it seemed like I was still in a weakened state. And to be perfectly honest, even without checking that, I could already tell by just the feeling of my body. So, in all honesty, forget about fighting that alpha-class monster, I wouldn't even be able to win against those nineteen monsters that were with him.

This is all that ape's fault once again!

In hindsight, I really just wasted my time searching for the location of that ape. Because in truth, I could probably have done some more productive things with all of that time. Like, hunting for food for example.

Damn it! I couldn't help but curse. But knowing the fact that I wouldn't accomplish anything by just blaming someone else, I immediately turn the gears of my mind. There is no use in finding the fault in the past. I just need to find a way at this moment, right now.

With that thought in mind, I activated stealth and jogged to the opposite side of the powerful presence. If I can't fight, I just need to escape. While making sure that the monsters wouldn't be able to detect my movements, I focused and united my exceptional senses in order to get a read of the monsters' movements and locations.

Thanks to my Sixth Sense skill, I managed to get an easy grasp of the monsters' positions and formation. This is a really handy skill. More than that, it also seemed like I could mark all the monsters within a certain range of my immediate vicinity. In my head, it worked kind of like a radar. And wherever I go, the radar would also follow with me at its center.

Because of that skill, I managed to formulate a somehow probable and doable plan. Yes, they have an alpha-class monster with them. But even then, it isn't as if that monster can exist at all places, at the same time. I surmised. So, in conclusion, as long as I avoid going near that monster, then it will be hard even for that thing to catch up.

At that moment, I prepared myself to activate Accelerate at any given time. Besides, I'm quite confident that I can easily beat those weaker ones if it came to a contest of speed.

Of course, it wasn't as if I was planning to just use my speed, and run past those monsters. After all, my speed wasn't the only advantage I have over them. To be more specific, I also have this Stealth. And well, it just so happened that the stage was now this dim forest area. Which if you really think about it— was the perfect place to use the skill.

Okay, let's see how it goes. With my Sixth Sense skill keeping track of the monsters' movements, I somehow managed to leave the vicinity of the lair without getting caught. And upon reentering the forest, I finally identified the monsters that were chasing after me. If I'm not mistaken, these are the wolves from before.

For some unknown reason, even though it was clear to see that the wolves were after me, I still couldn't detect any kind of hostility coming from the monsters. In fact, the monsters were registered as a neutral party in my Sixth Sense skill. And of course, it was also the same for that alpha-class monster.

If these guys are really the wolves from before, then that means that the real identity of that alpha-class monster is that Lightning Wolf.

To be honest, the only reason why I was acting this cautious was because of the possibility that the wolves came from the pack of the Tempest Wolf. And naturally, I also did consider that the alpha-class monster might just be the Tempest Wolf himself. If that happened, then I wouldn't have any problems in slaughtering the weaker wolves on my way to escape. But since my guess was wrong, that also meant that I had to change my approach on the situation.
