The trap they set yesterday didn't catch any monsters or animals. What the hell was Lucifer expecting? How could he think of catching monsters or animals on the first night?
But if this situation continued, the traps that Lucifer and Nothing had set together would be completely useless, and he and Nothing would have no meat to eat.
Lucifer couldn't accept this. So instead of waiting for the monsters or animals to fall into the trap, he would be the one to hunt them, using his trap to kill them and get meat and other things.
Owen had said that monsters usually wouldn't be active in the morning, most of them would sleep in the morning and be active at night. But that didn't mean there wouldn't be any monsters in the morning, there were just fewer monsters during the day.
While humans were usually active in the morning and sleep at night, monsters were the opposite. Monsters were like that, always doing things that humans could never understand.
But that also meant that hunting monsters in the morning was a lot easier than in the evening.
The reason was because Lucifer wouldn't have to worry about being attacked by other monsters and could just focus on killing a single target.
"So you go find monsters, Nothing." Lucifer smiled after giving Nothing a mission that could be said to be extremely threatening.
Nothing widened his eyes at Lucifer:
"Isn't that the same as telling me to go die? Are you a demon? No, you must be even scarier and more evil than demons. How can you give such a mission with such a cheerful expression?"
In short, Nothing didn't want to go because he didn't want to die, so Lucifer had to spend a few minutes telling Nothing the entire plan.
***
"Damn it, why do I have to do this? I don't want to die." Nothing complained.
Even though he had complained about this many times before, he continued to go deeper into the forest just like Lucifer planned. He was forced to carry out this plan.
'Stop complaining, no work, no food, okay?' Lucifer, who was sitting on the tree branch in their base, used telepathy to communicate with Nothing.
While Nothing was risking his life, all Lucifer had to do was sit back and command Nothing.
For the first time since receiving this Ability, Lucifer experienced what it felt like to be a master giving orders to his servant. For the first time, he felt lucky to have received this Ability.
Who wouldn't want to sit still and still have meat to eat, monster cores to sell, and Experience?
'Hehehe, it's great not having to do anything.' Lucifer thought.
'Hey you bastard, you're still using telepathy!'
After walking a few more steps, Nothing suddenly stopped and quickly hid behind a nearby tree. He had detected something, something menacing.
Of course, Lucifer already knew what it was since Nothing had always shared his vision with Lucifer since the beginning.
In the distance, a few meters away from Nothing to be more exact, was the Half Horse Half Wolf monster that the two of them had encountered the day before. But fortunately, this monster was sleeping without any defenses.
But that didn't mean they could kill that monster easily.
Perhaps the monster would instantly jump up and charge at Nothing when he tried to approach it.
'Hey Lucifer, what should we do? Should we kill it?' Nothing used his telepathy.
'Wait, check to see if there are any other monsters around, just in case we get attacked while trying to lure the Half Horse Half Wolf into the trap.'
Nothing carefully looked around, he could tell there were no monsters around.
'Should we lure it into the trap, Lucifer? I'm still a bit scared because of what happened the other day.'
'I saw that monster with my own eyes too, so I'm scared too. But we have to overcome our fear! We'll have to face more scary things in the future anyway.'
Yeah but the main reason was because Nothing was the bait, not Lucifer.
***
Nothing picked up a pebble that wasn't too big or too small near where he was standing. This pebble was just enough to wake the monster from its peaceful sleep.
Nothing carefully aimed at the monster since he only had one chance and threw the pebble at the monster with all his might. Whether it was intentional or not, the pebble hit the monster's pond, causing it to wake up right away.
Its crimson eyes scanned the surrounding area to find the person who had just woken it up, and it didn't take long for it to spot Nothing.
'Run, Nothing!' Lucifer used telepathy.
Realizing that the monster had noticed him, Nothing started running at full speed towards his and Lucifer's base. Behind him, the monster was also using all four of its legs to approach Nothing as fast as possible.
Their plan was really simple: They would lure the monsters into the trap that they had already arranged, thus, the monsters would definitely die after falling into one of the holes.
This was a contest of strength and speed, whoever was faster and had better endurance would win. And two legs could never be faster than four legs, especially when Nothing's opponent was a petrifying monster.
This monster must be at Giant-level or even higher.
Half Horse Half Dog didn't take too long to reach Nothing, now, it was only 1 to 2 meters away from Nothing.
Nothing's steps began to become more unsteady, his body was also exhausted from running at full speed without rest. His eyes were also a bit blurry because of sweat.
Nothing's speed gradually slowed down, he couldn't accelerate anymore.
Taking advantage of that opportunity, the monster immediately jumped towards Nothing and pinned him to the ground.
Just like last time, the monster opened its mouth, letting the slimy and deadly skeletal hands slowly move towards Nothing.
Of course, this was also part of Lucifer's plan from the beginning. Seeing Nothing being pinned down by the monster, Lucifer quickly unsummoned Nothing, forcing him back into his shadow.
Nothing immediately vanished, as if he hadn't existed. Witnessing that sudden scene, the monster was bewildered, not understanding what had just happened before its eyes.
***
"Come out Nothing."
Lucifer once again summoned Nothing from his shadow. Nothing slowly emerged from Lucifer's shadow, his face seemed a little uncomfortable and annoyed.
Of course, who would enjoy being used as bait? Moreover, Nothing almost died. Although Nothing was still a little tired, he had no more time to rest.
Nothing jumped down from the tree branch and headed towards the monster's location. This was their plan.
Nothing would become bait, and when he was caught by the monster, Lucifer would unsummon him so Nothing could escape without dying and summon Nothing again so he could continue to lead the monster to their trap.
This was a loop, and this loop would lead them to absolute victory.
