The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker



Chapter 161: Shielded Nose Moose

If there were any living beings that can survive and still strive inside the Slumbering Forest, they can only be the type of monster like the one Kayn is looking at right now.

Shielded Nose Moose.

The Shielded Nose Moose are a special species of monster moose whose noses have evolved to create a special shield in order to adapt to extremely foul odor and deadly smelling environments such as the Slumbering Forest.

No matter how hard the Shielded Nose Moose inhale, the mist around the Slumbering Forest would not be able to get inside their nose as there exists a protective shield and barrier that blocks anything that can cause harmful effects to them. Even if it can still pass through, their nose has a special filter that releases the inhaled air as soon as they realized that it is going to be harmful to them.

Looking at the Shielded Nose Moose, Kayn can't help feeling slightly pity at the head part of the monster. That's because other than its eyes, its entire head is basically covered by a square-shaped solid and hard meat shield that ranges from the top of its head to the ground. One can only imagine just how challenging it is for such a monster to eat and the difficulty in their vision.

On the contrary, Friedrich and the others were able to take advantage of such weakness of the Shielded Nose Moose by making sure to stay at the very back where it cannot see them.

"Kayn?" Gilbert quickly notices Kayn. "Good timing, we need that skill of yours to bring down this group of Shielded Nose Moose,"

"That is exactly what I was hoping for," Kayn was delighted.

Without any hesitation, Kayn swiftly chases after the Shielded Nose Moose.

<<Shield Dash>>

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, Roshan dashes in a horizontal line in front of the running Shielded Nose Moose. As a result, it immediately causes them to make a U-turn to change direction.

The direction they are going now is exactly the direction of Kayn.

"Great work!" Kayn smiles at the sight.

After making a sudden halt, Kayn swiftly waves his hand to take out one of his daggers from his Storage Ring. "Here I go!"

<<Hundred Shadow Cut>>

In the next moment, exactly a hundred shadow daggers appeared above the heads of the Shielded Nose Moose.

"Avoid hitting its head, your attack is only going to be useless," Friedrich reminded.

"Got that!"

With that in mind, Kayn made his shadow daggers rain down toward the quickly approaching Shielded Nose Moose.

Although they are monsters, the Shielded Nose Moose still possess a bit of intellect. As soon as they saw the raining shadow daggers, all of them immediately decided to stop and quickly raises their heads to make it into a shield.

Unfortunately, because of how sudden the stop of the group of Shielded Nose Moose at the front was, those at the back were not able to stop on time, hence they instantly came crashing into them.

Like a domino, the Shielded Nose Moose came crashing down one after the other, starting from the very back as it slowly made its way to the front.

In the end, the shield of the Shielded Nose Moose became useless as they presented themselves openly for the slaughter of Kayn's shadow dagger.

In the next second, numerous cries of pain echoed throughout the surrounding as the shadow daggers easily took the lives of the Shielded Nose Moose.

"Great plan, Kayn," Friedrich complimented after seeing the result of Kayn's attack.

"It was nothing," Kayn casually responded.

That's right, everything that happened from the beginning to the end is actually what Kayn had planned from the start after seeing how fast they were running at him.

Regardless of being a Human or a monster, anyone who is carrying a shield and can use it at any time they want would no doubt think of using it at the very first moment they see signs of danger.

However, unlike Humans, the Shielded Nose Moose aren't properly trained to make an orderly and unified stop. They only believe in their instinct, and sadly even that isn't a decision that all of them will think about at the same instant.

"With these many Shielded Nose Moose, we won't have to worry about food for two weeks," Gilbert expressed his delight.

"We won't even have to stay that long,"

"I have an idea with its shield, but I don't know if all of you will like it though," Cedric suddenly interrupted.

"Kindly enlighten us," Friedrich motioned his hand to permit Cedric to speak freely.

"I've experimented with this before so I know it will definitely work," Cedric waves his hand to take out a butcher knife from his Storage Ring.

Brandishing the butcher knife a few times, Cedric easily cut and separated the shield from the rest of the Shielded Nose Moose's body. As of now, the monster is no different from the ordinary moose.

After tweaking the shield for a few seconds, Cedric took out a mask-like object. It was sticky and had some gooey substances on it.

"That's disgusting," Gilbert said in a remark.

"Don't worry, we can clean it after thoroughly washing it," Cedric assures. "Anyways, this object is the part that filters out any harmful scent for the Shielded Nose Moose,"

Hearing that, everyone immediately realized what Cedric intended on doing.

"No way!" Gilbert instantly backed away. "There's no way I will wear that disgusting thing, especially not close to my mouth and nose,"

"Are you serious?" Kimberly slightly shivers.

"Just like what I said, it is possible to thoroughly clean it," Cedric assures once again.

"I know it is disgusting," Friedrich finally stepped forward. "But Cedric is correct. If we want to negate the problem with the mist around the Slumbering Forest, then this is one the best method for us to deal with it,"

"As much as I hate to say it, I agree," Kayn could only nod his head out of helplessness. Even though he already experienced in his previous life a fair share of disgusting scenarios, this right here could easily rank in the top ten.

"I guess we can try…" Roshan scratches his head after seeing Kayn and Friedrich agreeing to Cedric's method.

Seeing that his plan was approved, Cedric instantly felt joy. "In that case, let's quickly pack all of these Shielded Nose Moose and return back to camp,"

Cedric acted like a child whose request was granted by his parents as he started taking the lead in cleaning up the mess.
