Although the Elemental Trap is concealed, it is not completely unobservable.
Just as Otto could not pinpoint the exact location of the Elemental Trap, he could generally sense the presence of traps around him.
To find the exact location of an Elemental Trap is actually quite simple, as most of them can't escape the eyes of Rangers or Spellcasters.
But this didn't seem like something a Dragon Beast or a little Half-Elf could do.
Seeing their target about to flee, Pete decisively pulled out the communication crystal: "Boss, no matter what, I think you should come here immediately..."
Bald Reby's rough voice came through the crystal: "Don't worry, Pete, we're already here!"
As soon as he spoke, a sharp scream came from above accompanied by the falling, battered Chimera, which crashed not far in front of Pete.
Its heaving chest was the only sign that it was still alive.
Bald Reby led his adventurer squad towards the scene.
When everyone had gathered, Pete noticed that the adventurer squad was not doing well either.
The two Spellcasters looked exhausted, their magical power clearly depleted, they couldn't rely on them for a while.
However, the silver-gray Dragon Beast couldn't fly, so there was no need for them to contain it.
Aside from these two Spellcasters, the others were also in bad shape, and Bald Reby's muscular upper body had several new wounds.
The adventurer squad had no Priest, so he had simply bandaged himself up.
Bick didn't seem injured, but his tattered longsword had been broken in two. The two Rangers, excluding Pete, appeared relatively fine, only slightly fatigued.
Blackheart George followed reluctantly, as a spoiled commoner he was utterly exhausted.
Bald Reby was annoyed with Blackheart George. If it wasn't for him, the Spellcasters wouldn't have exhausted their magic, and he wouldn't be injured.
George was too talkative, finally catching his breath, he angrily said to Reby: "Look at the mess you've made! This Chimera is crippled even if it's healed, it won't fetch any Gold coins! Do you still want your reward?"
Bald Reby, holding back his anger, grabbed Blackheart George by the collar and said word by word: "My employer, sir, if you continue to be so talkative, I won't mind changing my profession. You may not know, but we occasionally dabble in the business of banditry!"
Blackheart George was taken aback. He finally understood that these scoundrels were not easy to deal with, and when pushed, they were capable of anything.
While they were arguing, Otto observed the nearby human adventurers with a subtle expression, seemingly unimportant to them.
Tool-Beast Chimera now lay in another spot. To the humans, Otto appeared less troublesome than the winged Chimera.
"It seems I am underestimated..."
Previously, Otto avoided conflict with the humans out of fear they'd gang up on him as if he were a boss monster.
But looking at the adventurers now, some injured and weakened, where was the need to flee? He might as well just steamroll them, which shouldn't be too hard.
Immediately taking action, after his year-long life in this alternate world, he was no longer the ordinary man from Earth, and his conscience had long since vanished.
He exchanged a knowing smile with Sofia before lowering the silver-gray Dragon Beast's body slightly, its powerful leg muscles tensing.
"Sofia, hold on tight!"
The Half-Elf loli buried her small head behind Otto's neck, gripping his hard scales to stabilize her body.
"Boom!"
Cracks covered the ground under Otto's feet, and his massive figure shot out like a silver-gray cannonball.
Bald Reby was about to scare Blackheart George some more, never realizing that his days were numbered.
The target was obvious, anyone could see that Bald Reby was the leader.
Moreover, Reby was distracted and exposed vulnerabilities. If Otto didn't seize this opportunity, he would be a fool.
Otto moved swiftly, Reby, who was holding Blackheart George by the collar, saw only a silver-gray blur before him.
When he reacted, Otto's ferocious head was already in front of him.
Like a kite with its strings cut, both Bald Reby and Blackheart George screamed as they soared into the air, crashing to the ground with a deep impact, their bodies reduced to pulp.
No one expected Otto to take the initiative, displaying incredible speed that contradicted his massive size.
His charge was a skill he acquired from the Minotaur, combined with his terrifying physique gained from devouring various monsters, his speed exceeded even adult Minotaurs.
"Reby!"
Bick, with his broken sword, called out Reby's name, but there was no response.
Everyone was startled by the sudden situation, but Otto didn't waste the opportunity, he quickly turned and whipped his tail, striking a dazed human Ranger.
The man's weak body died instantly without so much as a scream.
After Otto killed the human Ranger with a swipe, the remaining adventurers finally reacted.
The lone Ranger, Pete, began fighting back. But his arrows bounced off Otto's scales, leaving only a tiny mark on the surface.
Seeing this, the two magic-depleted Spellcasters immediately chose to flee. However, they hadn't taken a few steps before Otto crushed them beneath a torn-down stone wall.
Though lacking in ranged abilities, he knew how to use tools.
Stone walls were abundant and useful projectiles. The desperate human adventurers chose to fight to the death, rushing towards Otto, hoping for a miracle.
But the outcome was cruel; their attacks posed no threat to Otto, and they died one after the other.
Bick, with his broken sword, had his spine crushed by Otto. Gasping for breath, he lay on the ground, no longer a concern to Otto. Battered Chimera was far more valuable anyway.
Sofia excitedly dug a tattered Magic Wand and a Magic Book containing a few low-level spells from a pile of blood and flesh.
Accustomed to hardship, Sofia wasn't bothered by the smell of blood and gore. Her eyes curved like crescents as if she had found something to help Otto.
In contrast, Bick's vision blurred, seeing back to his early adventurer days with a brand new sword. He once dreamed of becoming a legendary swordsman and leaving a mark in history, but now his sword was broken, and his journey was at its end.
