nIn fact, a low-ranked and intermediate-ranked organism had an almost unbreachable gap of physical strength and special abilities among them, so Jeremy could easily slaughter all of the kenkus at once if he wanted to.

nHowever, for the sake of his plan and immediate survival, Jeremy decided to keep a low profile for now.

nAfter all, there was still an organizer within the human camp, altogether with the two cupids observing this place from somewhere else. Due to those people's presence, Jeremy had to be careful and could only wait for the best chance to strike, or else the enemies would realize his existence too early.

nAt this moment, Jeremy had already arrived behind the two kenku archers standing at the back of the enemy's formation.

nIt appeared that the two bird-humanoid archers hadn't noticed Jeremy's presence yet as they gave their backs towards him while still firing poisonous arrows at the retreating humans.

nJeremy pulled out the two knives strapped on his waist sides and crept silently towards the archer on the left.

nWhen he was close enough, Jeremy plunged the knife into the kenku archer's head, penetrating its brain directly.

nThe knife went through the kenku's skull quite smoothly as it almost hadn't generated any noise at all.

nAfter pulling the knife back in a swift motion, Jeremy pounced towards another kenku standing at the side and did the same thing to it.

nThe sharp knife also smoothly went into the second kenku's brain, splattering the big tree with blue blood and brain matter.

nWithin a few seconds, two kenkus were killed by Jeremy as they dropped to the ground motionless.

nIn the meantime, other kenkus still didn't realize anything because everything had happened too fast for them to be aware of anything happening behind their backs.

n'There is one more in that direction, and another in that direction...' Jeremy thought to himself after sweeping his eyes swiftly.

nBefore other kenkus could realize the deaths of their comrades, Jeremy decided to use this opportunity to his advantage as he started running 'slowly' towards another kenku archer.

nAlbeit 'slowly', Jeremy appeared to be as fast as an adult man sprinting at full speed.

nShortly after, Jeremy arrived behind the third kenku archer, whom was firing arrows towards the humans, unaware of the incoming predator behind it.

nLike before, Jeremy finished it off quickly and quietly with one strike directly to its brain...

nAt this time, the kenku warriors, who had prepared to retreat for a while, finally realized something wrong with their backline because arrows had been barely fired from behind them in the past ten seconds.

nThus, they, one by one, turned to look at their comrade archers at the backline. Simultaneously, they finally saw that three of the four archers now lay dead on the grass ground with blue blood gushing out from their wounds unstoppably.

n

"Kiti Kata!

"

nOne of the kenku warriors shouted loudly for everyone to hear, causing the others, whom still didn't realize the deaths of their archer comrades, to become startled.

nConsequently, the commotion broke out clamorously among the kenku side, leading the human side also to notice the sudden change in the situation.

n

"What happened? Why don't they shoot any arrows towards us anymore?

" asked the scout team leader, Morgan.

nUpon hearing Morgan's words, everyone around him started looking around the periphery of the battlefield to spot the enemy archers.

nSurprisingly, they could see two or three bird-humanoids lay motionless on the ground while oozing out blue blood, drenching the soil with blue color.

n

"Reinforcement?

" thought Morgan in puzzlement as he also saw those corpses.

nWhile everyone was thinking about the transpiring situation, someone within the group had finally spotted something at a distance,

n

"Leader, there is a human over there, battling with a kenku warrior.

"

nUpon hearing those words, Morgan and everyone else hurriedly turned their heads towards the direction the man pointed his finger at.

nIndeed, they saw a human wearing a black combat suit fighting against a kenku warrior at almost forty meters away.

nWhat truly surprised them was that the man had finished the kenku off quite easily with a keen strike at the throat before proceeding to engage with another kenku warrior.

nWhen Morgan saw that sight, he furrowed his eyebrows in deep thought, thinking about the pros and cons of this situation.

n'Who is that guy? Why is there only one man as our reinforcement? What should we do... fight or retreat...?'

nAfter a few seconds of pondering and seeing how the man fought with the kenku warriors, Morgan's expressions gradually morphed into a determined one as he shouted towards his teammates,

n

"Abort the retreat! We will re-engage with the enemies!

"

nHaving shouted so, Morgan was the first one to rush back into the fray, battling against a retreating kenku in front of him.

n

"Yahh!!!

"

n

"Kill!!

"

n

"Mother**ers!!

"

n

"Revenge our brothers!!

"

nFollowing Morgan were his other teammates, with weapons in their hands, melee combatants rushed forward, and rangers fired arrows. Everyone started engaging in a bloody battle for the second round...

nNonetheless, the battle this time appeared to be entirely one-sided as the kenkus were killed off at a fast rate.

n...

nAlmost ten minutes later...

nThe earlier clamorous and noisy temperate forest was nowhere to be seen as calmness reined in the green forest.

nRight now, more than twenty corpses of humans and bird-like humanoids lay scatteringly within the forest while fowl and game still didn't dare approach the area as the blood stench still lingered thickly within the post-battlefield.

nMore than ten humans stood hither and thither within the serene forest as some were drenched with blue blood, some with purple blood mixed from the enemy's blue and their own's red blood.

nEvery single one of them looked tired and worn out...

nMeanwhile, no kenku was seen standing anymore as all of them were lying unmovingly on the ground, drenching in pools of blue blood.

n

"Please come out,

" said Morgan, the scout team leader, towards a big tree in front of him.

nIf a person didn't look carefully, they would think that Morgan was speaking to the tree.

nHowever, people present knew that Morgan had spoken not to the tree but to the person behind it.

nAfter the noise died down, a man in a black combat suit, with blue bloodstains on his body, gradually revealed himself from behind the big tree.

nJeremy's clear appearance was finally revealed before the ten-ish people.
