Chapter 9: Setting trap

" Silver, do you still have the bone weapons?"

"Yes?"

David noted that every free time Silver got he made bone weapons using monster material. But every weapon had only piercing power only.

" I want to set a trap for a D-Rank monster."

Bolt sensed something elusive, that he was walking thin rope, and he couldn't escape from there or at least not yet.

"Follow me"

They went to small cave they stayed last week. He brought them to a hidden crack, it was well hidden, the crack was 1 feet width. He went through the crack. They followed him.

"Here, they are."

Despite knowing Silver's antics, David shocked. There were more than 50 weapons.

" There are 45 F-Rank bone weapons and 20 E-Rank weapons."

The reason for the shock was not only numbers of weapons but also Silver's stupidity. There was some suspicion started deep in him.

' Why is he making this much of bone weapons? He can't move it. Does he have some sort of transport option? He hid more than me. Shit. Thanks to the lion I came to sense, or I would have trusted him, if he accompanied us. There was no useless piece, I will use this uncontrollable piece and destroy it when time comes. I was going to use him as distraction for lion hunt, now this changed, I will use him as bait.'

"Transport the weapons to outside of the cave. I will dig the ground."

"Okay", both Sid and Silver started their work.

It was a simple trap. After completion there were no signs of any traps. The trap base diameter was 10 meters, the depth was 10 meters. Bone spear and sharpened wood placed in the base, the length of those were 1.5 meters.

'He has weapons, I mean real proper weapon not a makeshift weapons. He can kill it with it. May be he is weak. I think it was at peak of D-rank, that is why he is setting trap. But something changed in his way of looking at me. Some thing tells me to be careful. Is it instinct? No, maybe my analysis about him. Some time, you do things subconsciously.'

After awakening every common sense should be obsolete. They finished the preparation in one hour. There were 20 hours remaining.

" Come here, this is the plan. While I am preparing the skills for surprise attack, Silver will lure it here. Sid stad bedind the trap, Silver run over the trap and stand behind the Sid. Sid will use his defence skill to protect you and himself. At the time it would have fallen the trap. I use the surprise attack to finish it. The trap is only for distraction, it won't do much damage, because it was mostly made of F and E rank monster bones."

"Where is the lion? I don't know the route."

"Don't worry about that, I will accompany you to the destination, you will have to wait for 10 minutes, then you will lure it here. You can count time using quest timer. Is there a doubt?"

"No"

'He planned to kill me from the beginning. Huh. I can't escape, he will directly kill. I have to follow the plan. Killed by either lion or David.'

" Okay follow me."

David led Silver to lion. It was eating boar. He left the place. Hid himself at some distance from Silver. When the lion successfully lured, he ran using his skill. Silver was more tenacious than he thought. He didn't die immediately.

He reacted immediately when the lion looking at his brother and his location where he hid himself again near trap on branch of a tall tree.
