beauty and his beasts

CHAPTER 55: Snatching A Cute Beastman 1

He paused to sense the aura, but after realizing that he was stronger than this level 3 beastman and that the level 3 beastman was just probing, he continued with his task as if nothing happened.

First of all even if this beastman was at the same level as he was, he still wouldn't be able to sense his presence and he was also in the sea, which disrupts land beast men's aura.

He carried the last batch of preys back to the cave before moving each of them into his storage room. He was thinking of arranging them properly but was interrupted again by the same aura.

He almost wanted to get angry but was able to calm himself down, he noticed that this time around, the aura was a little different.

Instead of just probing, the aura was fully released as if the owner of the aura was challenging someone.

Which made Andri a little confused. He was sure that the beastman from earlier hadn't sensed his presence, so why was he here again and releasing such an offensive aura.

He decided to go check it out himself. The reason why Andri found Kevin's aura offensive was because, it was generally understood that when beast men releases his aura in the presence of a same level beastman, it was seen as sending out a challenge, which was very provocative to the latter as it was like the other beastman was saying 'you are too weak to be at the same level as myself' thus leading to a fight that might cause one's life.

Andri only felt slightly annoyed because he was not sure the beastman was challenging him, 'it was either this beastman was just being reckless or was trying to chase away wild beast, or maybe he was challenging another beastman either way I have to know what the truth is'.

With that Andri swam to the surface to quench his curiosity. Getting to the surface, Andri didn't reveal himself, instead choosing to stay at an inconspicuous part of the lake where he could barely see the surface of the lake, but the others above the lake won't be able to see him.

Although he could barely see anything from his current position, it was ok as he wasn't planning on just using his eyes to sense his surroundings. Andri closed his eyes and used his affinity for the water elements to sense what was happening on land, this way, the other beastman wouldn't be able to sense him.

But after he used this ability, the only thing he could sense close to the lake was an aura-less beastman 'could it be a female?', he looked up but was only able to see a vague figure standing right outside the lake.

He decided to swim a little bit closer to see if it was really a female, he was already analyzing why a level 3 beastman would come all the way to a small lake to release his aura.

If  it was a female standing right in front of him, then this female must be the level 3 beastman's mate and he was trying to protect her, by scaring away beasts and beastman alike.

But why would he leave his female in a forest alone. The only exception being that the female asked to be left alone. But still he could have pretended to have left her alone but in reality, he would just hide in a place that her eyes can't reach.

Andri was confused by this because he couldn't fill the presence of the beastman anywhere close to the lake.

While Andri thought this, he got to a close enough distance were he was sure that a female wouldn't be able to see through, but was surprised to see that it wasn't a female but a weak looking beastman.

His mind spun 'why would a beastman even if he just came of age have no aura' he decided to probe him and discovered that this beastman has a unique presence, it felt soft like that of a female, and even after probing him, he showed no reaction as if not feeling anything at all.
