The roar came, and at the mountain path ahead that had to be traversed, a brawny little giant with rocks all over his body approached with a "thud, thud" of the ground shaking.
He looked like a baboon, with sharp teeth and long hair, his disheveled mane binding the rocks into an armor of stone.
Lind did not recognize this creature, but the aura of an Upper-Rank Calamity emanating from it could not be faked.
Not only that, but there was also a group of smaller baboons, about half the height of a person, holding some kind of red berries, jumping around.
The monster noticed Lind, and with its long arms like a monkey's, supporting itself on the ground, it charged at Lind briskly. The thunderous noise mixed with a Gale that couldn't be ignored. Lind pointed his Longsword overhead, its blade bursting with light, and he yanked himself up into the sky, narrowly avoiding the giant baboon's deadly pounce.
