613 No Good Response to Their Response
The Manticore leaped about five meter ahead before sliding on the ground and plopping down just like that.
The face I cut splatted down the ground like a mask.
The cross-section looks gross. After a slight pause, blood spurted out of it splattering everywhere.
The cut face remained in the screaming expression. Seemingly not realizing its own demise.
The beast has been sliced right in the middle of its head. Not even a magic beast could survive getting its brain diced off like this. The spurting blood saw no sign of stopping too.
Its enraged contracted muscles must be pumping all that blood.
And thus the Manticore hunt ended in but a moment. All that's left is to drain the blood away, store this thing in a magic bag and go home.
"Is this your doing...?"
Berume asked like she couldn't believe it.
Of course, to her I did nothing between the time I entered Acceleration and now.
It can't be seen or recognized, moreso with my Max State Acceleration. There's simply no way for anyone to perceive me.
She cannot not ask that. I mean, I am the only individual capable of slaughtering Manticore here.
And yet, to Berume it must look like I simply changed spots instantaneously. She couldn't see what I did during Acceleration.
Hence, she couldn't help herself asking. 'Did you do it.'

"I couldn't see anything... what's going on?"
Contact guy spoke. He must be still trying to process 'what and how did he did that beast in'.
I'm the only personnel who got dispatched here to kill the beast. He's taking that into account.
But even if he managed to process that fact, he couldn't fathom how it was done. It's only natural.
He couldn't have possibly perceived me moving.
The only objective fact he can confirm is that the beast was cut by a katana, an unusual weapon. That's the only trued and tried information he got.
And that I somehow changed spot from where I was originally before he realized it.
"Ah, there's no more need for prepwork is there. Err, maybe go contact the other guys? The beast is dead and all, we're done here right?"
That's the only thing I could utter.
Three days to get here, and then several more days to prepare, hunt, collect, retreat and return.
They must have thought it would take around ten days or so. Since everything just happened to luckily falls into places, I guess that's ten day shortened? I didn't think we'd be that lucky though.
Yet we were and finished the business on the second day. Impossible yet that just happened.
That's supposed to be a very good thing.
Yet, there's no shred of joy on Berume's and Contact guy's faces. They're looking terrified instead. At me.
(Aw, gotta change the mood. How do I go about it?）
"C'mon! Get to it, chop chop! I dunno what I'm supposed to do here. We'll have nothing done if you two don't get a move on!"
My voice pulled them back to reality, as they resumed moving with conflicted looks on their faces.
