Craftsman Cheat System
Chapter 11 - The Fastest Path

Clay asks Zen to be quiet so as not to worry about him and asks the number of members he can fight at the moment.

"Everyone can fight using our beast instincts sir... But only the division chief has above average strength."

"How strong are you?"

"We don't know how strong we are... But if we fight C-Rank monsters, we're balanced..."

"Looks like that's enough... In the next 1 hour we have to leave to continue the journey and return to the fastest lane... For a while, we'll head to Grandle kingdom while hunting monsters." Clay said with confidence.

Zen did not dare to argue and immediately did what his master wanted. "Okay, young master."

In Clay's mind, he wanted to obtain a lot of monster cores and sell a lot of equipment in Grandle kingdom which was currently their goal.

1 Hour had passed, now they were ready to go on the journey.

As requested by Clay earlier, they continued their journey by returning to the fastest lane at once into the zone the monsters were in.

During the trip, the Black Dragon Guild members were worried and wary of monster attacks that threatened the safety of their master.

Clay and Isabel are at the heart of their last defense of life.

Clay and Isabel's souls are killed, so the 200 lives of the Demi-human race who have sworn allegiance, will lose their lives in an instant like a serial murder.

Time passed and they too were far away from their previous places of worship.

Suddenly the atmosphere became quiet and silent, only the sound of stomping footsteps and the carriage of the Black Dragon Guild alone sounded in the ears.

Soon, Jhon can feel the presence of monsters around him by using his kiss.

Demi-human olfactory is a sharp wolf type, making Jhon can know that currently, near them there are some monsters that lurk their journey.

"Be careful... I sensed the existence of monsters and the numbers were quite troublesome..." Shouted Jhon to his comrades so that they were more vigilant.

"Stay calm and keep moving forward... We don't bother them and hope everything goes well!" The real Zen Shouts did not want any fight.

Not because Zen is timid or anything like that, but he is more concerned with the safety of his master.

Whereas with Clay, quite the opposite, he wanted to immediately meet a monster and get a monster core from it.

"Frank... Shouldn't the eagle have sharp instincts and eyes? I order you to search for their whereabouts and report to me immediately." Clay said as he looked towards Frank who was currently in the form of an eagle.

"Okay, young master."

On the other hand, Zen was surprised by the command his master had spoken and intended to stop him. "But, young master..."

When Zen was not finished with his words, Clay cut him off. "Thank you for worrying about my safety, Zen... But believe me, we have to fight monsters so that we can grow stronger and gain a lot of experience... If we are strong, the enemy will bow."

Zen was silent in silence, he suddenly recalled the words Clay said flashed through his mind.

A sentence similar to Chris told him in the past.

Zen smiled as he said inwardly."You do look like Mr. Chris, young master..."

Soon Zen's fighting spirit was burning again, like when he first fought with Chris in the past.

While on the other hand, Melissa smiled again from a distance, while observing Zen who was currently daydreaming of holstagia.

"Did you miss our master, Zen? Did you see her figure in our young master's body?" Melissa said in her heart.

After all, Melissa was the one who knew Chris the most because he was Chris' first follower, long before the Black Dragon Guild was formed.

Time passed, minutes later, Frank the Eagle returned to the party and immediately reported what Clay had ordered.

"Young master... On our left side is a group of horned Wolf monsters hiding and lurking from the top of the cliff... In front and about 300 meters away, there was a group of Lightning Demon monsters that were fighting against the Stone Snake monster."

"All right, thanks for the information..." Clay said to Frank and then he went back out loud to everyone. "Stop... We'll wait here."

Everyone stopped moving according to what Clay had said.

Before Clay stopped the pace of his Guild members, he had had an idea to hunt down the wolf monsters to get out of his hiding place.

"Chairman division... You guys come here..." Clay told all the division heads to get close to him immediately.

Quickly, the six division leaders were in front of Clay and now Clay explained the idea of the plan in his mind.

"We will walk slowly so that the horned wolf that is hiding around here is lured and ambushed us... When they are fed, we must go with all our might towards the flock and the stone snake is located... We're gonna interrupt their fight against each other... But there is something to remember, our side should not fight excessively... We have to wait until the monsters defeat and kill him... When they are fighting each other, we must surround them so that they cannot escape and do not let a single one escape... Do you have any other ideas?"

"Isn't that dangerous, young master? We're not used to fighting while protecting someone." Melissa said with a slightly worried look on her face.

"All right then... Melissa, your priority is not to fight, but to protect Isabel. Do you mind?"

"No, young master. I will protect Miss Isabel with her life at stake." Melissa answered politely.

Clay smiled and then he said. "Is there anything else you want to say?"

"What about you, young master?" Ask Zen.

"I can fight and protect myself."

"All right, young master. Please give your safety priority..."

"Yes. Thank you." Thank you."

After the plan has been successfully made, now they also carry out the plan that has been discussed together.

Walking forward at low speed, an atmosphere of silence adorned the course of the monster-trapping plan.

"Sister... I'm scared." Say Isabel while holding Clay's hand.

"Calm down, there's me and Melissa who'll protect you..."

"Why should we fight against such a dangerous monster? They're scary..." Said Isabel who was still traumatized by monsters that had previously attacked the city and resulted in the death of the family.

"We need something that can be sold in Grandle Kingdom... We'll go to a wasted place with lots of money..." Said Clay with a friendly smile.

"Hm, okay, brother..."

After a while later, suddenly there was the sound of wolf howls in everyone's ears.

*Aaaauu... Aaauu... Aaaaauu...*

"Young master... They're approaching." Said Jhon who managed to smell the body of the horned wolf monster.

"Everything!! Move according to plan!"
