Chapter 900: Self-healing thaid (2)
Erik scanned the forest below, his eyes narrowing as he searched for any sign of the Hevadrin. If the creature was really there, it was a high-priority target.
He tried to make out the beast's details. The vegetation and the creature's thick fur made it difficult to get a clear look, but the size and gait were consistent with a Hevadrin.
"Land away from it," Erik said. "We'll approach on foot and observe it first before engaging." June angled his wings and descended, setting down in a small clearing a fair distance from the creature's location. Erik slid off his clone's back, then June turned human again.
While crouching in the undergrowth, they made their way to the creature's location.
Erik's gaze remained fixed on the Hevadrin. The creature's powerful frame and resilient hide were visible now, and Erik felt a flicker of unease.
These beasts were difficult to kill, with their regenerative abilities making them tough opponents.
June nodded, but there was concern in his eyes.
Erik bit his lip.
It was true Erik wanted to kill the Hevadrin for Liberty Watch's sake, but saying it also wasn't for its brain crystal power would be a lie.
The Hevadrin's brain crystal would be an invaluable asset. He still had to decide whether to give it to the clones or keep it, but regardless, he had to get his hands on it.
Erik started channeling mana, and soon, a flyssa made of hardened slime appeared in his hands. Erik didn't imbue it with frost or wind power; he couldn't use that much mana now.
The man crept closer to the Hevadrin, careful not to make a sound. The creature's fur helped it blend into the forest surroundings, but its eyes remained alert.
Staying downwind, Erik drew closer, his flyssa ready. When he was within striking distance, he stilled his racing heart and studied his target.
Then Erik lunged, his blade slicing through the air. But the Hevadrin heard the foliage rustling and dodged to the side.
It spun to face its assailant, looking at Erik with an unconcerned expression.
Physical Characteristics: A Hevadrin is a quadruped creature with a thick coat of short fur that changes color depending on its environment, aiding in camouflage. Its body is big and stocky, geared toward endurance rather than speed, yet its strength is immense. The Hevadrin's main distinguishing characteristic is its brain crystal power, which allows it to heal its wound. Small, rounded ears sit atop its broad head, and its eyes are small yet perceptive, appropriate to its mostly nocturnal lifestyle. It possesses a short, strong tail that aids in balance in navigating difficult terrain and fighting other species.
Ecology: Hevadrin lives in thickly forested areas, where its ability to heal quickly helps survive in the face of several dangers. It is mainly herbivorous, eating plants, roots, and, on occasion, insects and meat.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!"
Erik couldn't say... couldn't even think of other words. This beast was strong-too strong, to the point where it could contend even with wyverns, at least in theory. But that wasn't what
shocked the young man.
"THIS THING HAS 57 NEURAL LINKS!"
That was unheard of. Thaids followed a similar logic to humans, and no one had ever seen a creature with not 54 but 57 neural links.
Erik had seen wyverns, but those things were inconceivably powerful. He never got close enough to scan them, but at this point, everything made sense. 54 neural links was not the
limit, at least not for Thaids.
"Is this a sick joke?!"
"WHAT'S HAPPENING, MASTER?!"
"JUNE, DON'T COME HERE!"
But why was such a creature here? What could have possibly pushed it this far? The Cerulean bird? If that were true, Erik underestimated too much the strength that beast possessed.
