A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 542 Go, Ugly Duckling!

The Rose Mercenary Squad members had already hidden themselves in the forest. The enormous trees and dense forestry created the ideal cover for them as they awaited the perfect moment to strike.

The first one to spring into action was Dennis. His massive figure emerged from behind a tree, and his huge mace whistled through the air, barely missing the Purple Golden Mink before it slammed into a tree.

The massive tree was felled amid a resounding boom, drawing a cry of shock and panic from the Purple Golden Mink as it reflexively sprang away from Dennis.

However, right at that moment, a green figure emerged from behind a tree in that direction, bringing a massive black shield down toward the Purple Golden Mink viciously.

An extremely humanized expression of shock and horror appeared on the mink’s face. However, as a 2nd-tier magic beast whose forte lay in speed and agility, it wouldn’t be caught so easily. It spread open its four limbs as if it were opening up a paragliding suit, and faint golden light shimmered from its limbs, allowing it to forcibly change its direction in mid-air and glide past the shield. It then sprang up forcefully from a tree, leaving deep indentations in the tree trunk with its powerful limbs before leaping toward another tree at an even faster speed.

“You’re not getting away!”

Scott emerged from behind a tree, standing right in its path. He gripped his longsword tightly in his hands before bringing it down with devastating power.

ver.

The Purple Golden Mink was unable to evade, and could only extend its claws, which were enshrouded in golden light, to meet the longsword.

“Ding!”

A crisp ringing sound erupted. The longsword struck the claws, and sparks flew through the air. The Purple Golden Mink tumbled to the ground, and quickly began to flee once again. It was trying to avoid escaping through the passageway between the two hills as it could sense a dangerous aura situated in that direction.

Right at that moment, a black boomerang hurtled forth from behind it, evading all of the trees as if it had a mind of its own before flying directly toward the mink.

The Purple Golden Mink wanted to go left, but it could only forcibly change directions again, weaving through the trees to run toward the passageway between the two hills while avoiding the boomerang.

As soon as it reached the end of that passageway, the forest would become even denser on the other side, thereby allowing it to easily slip away.

On a large tree beside the passageway, Sam was holding a green vine while staring with rapt attention at the oncoming Purple Golden Mink.

In another direction, Evan sat on a tree branch with a relaxed expression. His legs were folded in a rather awkward way as he pointed his white wand toward the Purple Golden Mink.

To think that a group of 3rd-tier mercenaries could cooperate so effectively; this mercenary squad is quite a proficient one, Mag praised internally. With the past experience of Mag Alex guiding him, he was able to easily gauge everyone’s power levels during those brief exchanges. The Rose Mercenary Squad members were predominantly at the 3rd-tier in power, with Sivir and Dennis close to the 4th-tier. Skol and Scott were both at the 3rd-tier, while Sydney and Sam were most likely 2nd-tier beings.

With sufficient chemistry, the power a group was capable of unleashing would be far greater than the sum of its individual members. This notion was being exemplified by the Rose Mercenary Squad.

In this dense forest, they were able to force the Purple Golden Mink toward the ideal direction through their seamless teamwork. It appeared that they had the mink in the bag.

“Meow!” Ugly Duckling sat up excitedly and extended its little paws, revealing the sharp claws within.

The Purple Golden Mink was in a complete panic and rushed blindly into the traps set up by Sam. During this brief period of time, Sam had already set up three traps, all of which targeted agile prey like the Purple Golden Mink. As long as it entered the designated area, he was confident in his ability to capture the mink.

Eva also rose to her feet and looked on with a nervous expression.

The boomerang carved a beautiful trajectory through the air before returning to Sivir’s hand. A smile appeared on her face as she looked at the Purple Golden Mink charging toward the traps. However, she still headed in that direction with her hand resting on her boomerang, ready to hurl it again at any moment.

Monkey was also pursuing the Purple Golden Mink. Before the prey had actually been captured, complacency was absolutely taboo.

However, right as the Purple Golden Mink was about to rush into the traps, an intelligent light flashed through its eyes as it spread open its limbs again, allowing it to change directions in mid-air.

A wooden cage fell from the sky, but landed about half a meter away from it. Two rows of arrows also crisscrossed through the air, but were successfully evaded. As for the final trap, Sam hadn’t even activated it yet.

“Stop right there, filthy beast!” Evan had thought that the hunt was over, so his expression changed slightly upon seeing that. However, he still reacted very quickly as he waved his wand toward the Purple Golden Mink, abruptly conjuring up four walls of ice that confined the mink within.

“Master Evan is so impressive!” Eva was squealing like a mindless fangirl.

“Crack.”

The Purple Golden Mink swept its claws through the air. Three streaks of purple and golden light flashed, destroying the wall of ice directly in front of it.

“H-how could this be?” Eva looked on in disbelief.

“Die, bastard! Consecutive ice spears!” Evan’s also raised an eyebrow upon seeing that. He was quite embarrassed by the fact that he couldn’t even trap a Purple Golden Mink. He chanted a spell and waved his wand, upon which five ice spears about a meter in length hurtled through the air toward the Purple Golden Mink at an extremely fast speed.

“Howl!”

Having just crushed the all of ice, the Purple Golden Mink let loose a sharp cry, and its half-a-meter-long body instantly doubled in size. The purple fur that was only found on its head also extended all the way to its tail. Purple golden light created a powerful barrier around itself and it rose up on its hind legs, swatting its forepaws through the air. A series of cracks erupted as the five ice spears were reduced to shattered ice shards.

“This is a mutant Purple Golden Mink with 3rd-tier caliber power! Moreover, it possesses strong offensive power!” Sivir was shocked to see this.

After easily swatting aside the five ice spears, Purple Golden Mink looked up at Evan with a mocking expression before springing toward the nearby carriage, leaving a deep indentation on the tree trunk with its paws. Following its transformation, its speed more than doubled, thereby allowing it to instantly shake off Monkey and Sivir.

“Crap, it’s heading for the carriage! Stop it!” Sivir hurled her boomerang through the air as a panicked expression appeared on her face.

The other mercenaries also rushed toward the carriage with grim looks on their faces. Mag, Amy, and Eva were the only people on the carriage. Eva was a healer, Mag was a chef, and Amy was a child. In the face of a berserking Purple Golden Mink, they were most likely in a lot of trouble.

“In this case, you should all just go die.” Contrary to what everyone else was doing, Evan withdrew his wand upon seeing that, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

“No!” Eva looked at the oncoming Purple Golden Mink, and her expression changed drastically as she stumbled back.

“Go, Ugly Duckling!”

Amy stood up and joyfully released Ugly Duckling toward the oncoming Purple Golden Mink.
