Chapter 167: Preparations (1)

Lake returned to the shore after discovering the existence of the Rank Three creature sleeping beneath the bay.

Knowing that he was up against a Rank Three creature caused him a great headache and threw a wrench into his plans, but it was still within his tolerable range.

A few changes had to be made to the original plan, and some extra preparation was necessary, but he should still be able to handle it.

As Lake thought of this, he quickly observed the fate of the nearby hunters fishing on the shore. Their halos were still flickering, and he couldn't see beyond a certain point, but Lake was able to confirm how much time he had remaining with this.

'Let's see... There's roughly twelve hours left before that corrupted creature wakes up and causes chaos. Round it down to ten hours to give me some leeway, and that's barely enough time to sort everything out. Kate and the rest seemed to have left already, so I guess I'm on my own until they show up later.'
