Returning to Blake's point of view, he too had noticed what was going on around him, although he couldn't do much about it, so he simply concentrated on also picking up some pieces of wool near him that were still on the ground.
While he was doing that, the huge wooly started to move again until it was back on its feet, and anyone could tell the feeling of irritation it was experiencing. Its gaze was on Blake's figure since he hadn't left it alone all this time, but the worst part of it was that it felt it couldn't get revenge.
Nana kept using her abilities to control the woolies, and a special aspect of this was that she could experience a little of those monsters' feelings, so she understood how the huge wooly felt.
She was also aware that the event was about to end and she hadn't made use of something in particular yet, but her gaze quickly turned to the figure of Wells who was not far away.
He had a calm look on her face. Even though there were monsters present, he was still enjoying the show a bit. Wells had raised his hand in Nana's direction and then made a small sign, very few would know what it meant, but Nana knew it very well, and unconsciously, it made an amused smile appear on her face.
…
'Will this be enough?' That was the sudden thought that popped into Blake's head once he had calmed down. 'I know I said I wanted to at least get a good position since I started late, but I'm not going to complain if I can win the event.'
Blake had already made his decision, he could still see a bit of wool that was perfectly differentiated from the wooly's dark skin, and he knew that he needed to take as much as possible to win, but before Blake started to move, something made him stop abruptly.
"Baaaa!" That bleat was obviously the sound that the huge wooly produced, but unlike a normal one, this one seemed to be something different, not only because of how loud it was but also because of what was happening in the surroundings.
Actually, that bleating seemed to have made some kind of echo in the place, causing it to repeatedly reach the ears of those present, it had only been a short time since that, but quickly everyone could notice how several people began to fall on their seats or to the ground fast asleep.
This was repeated several times until it was possible to see how the people who were affected by this strange event had to be helped by others to avoid any accident, a huge confusion had seized many of those presents who were still conscious at that time, but Shara's voice intervened in time.
"If this is your first time participating or just enjoying the event, you may be very confused. You shouldn't be alarmed, what just happened is due to an ability that the wooly possesses using its bleating." That made several people look at Nana. "And don't worry, the instructor is aware of this, it is always the final surprise during the festival."
Maybe that would be enough to convince some people that everything was under control, but a more detailed explanation was still needed.
"To put it simply, the sound produced by the wooly has a chance to induce you into a deep sleep, maybe you are lucky not to be affected, but there is also a chance that you will be part of the main victims, even if your own strength and abilities They might as well help you resist this, and it seems my daughter is one of the unlucky ones, haha." That calm laugh relaxed the atmosphere a bit after the explanation, but everyone's attention was focused on the new commentator, and this was exactly Blaise.
He had heaved a little sigh after that as he thought about the situations his sons ended up in, Rusk had been knocked out by Collette's lightning bolts and she was now fast asleep as a log, maybe he hadn't been as exaggerated as in other times, but it still made Blaise shake his head a little.
Leaving that aside, now everyone could understand what had actually happened and had no problem accepting it. It was true that most of the crowd was not used to dealing with monsters, but they all possessed some common sense and knowledge about it.
It was true that the number of monsters that could be found in the Futhark was not small, all the races were already used to this, sometimes they were a serious problem, and other times they were a great help.
All monsters have characteristics that set them apart from others, not just their physical characteristics or whether they could make use of runes to materialize elements, but also the fact that they possessed their unique abilities that couldn't fall into the category of spells or runic abilities.
And Blake had already experienced this in the past despite not knowing much about it, he had seen the ability of orcs with which they could increase their speed, that of giant beetles when they increased their strength at the cost of their life energy, even the roar of the raccoon that paralyzed him completely.
Making that clear, the event area had not been spared from the huge wooly's ability, there were also some victims that, after falling asleep, the little woolies pounced on them causing them to end up disqualified, especially the ones that were very close to the huge wooly.
"It seems that this year I have not been affected again." That comment came out in a low voice from Sakuya after turning her head and looking around. "Although I still don't understand how it is possible that someone could fall asleep by hearing that wooly's scream."
Now she was talking to herself, but while she was stuck with it, she had to come back to reality once she heard some small snores not far from her… And those belonged to Ragna while some of the woolies seemed to be playing on top of his body.
"Well... One less to worry about..." Sakuya seemed to say a little prayer for Ragna to have a little more luck in the future, but she quickly snapped back to reality with a pretty clear idea in her head.
