The Lurscorpion is an omnivorous crustacean, with a massive and flat body. Its pincers can easily crush bones, and its hard shell provides effective protection. It usually lurks underground, with a tail similar in appearance to Gainake's, protruding from the ground for feeding. Perhaps it's distantly related to Gainake, as distinguishing them relies on the presence or absence of certain markings on their foreheads.

In nature, the Lurscorpion has almost no natural predators and resides at the upper levels of the food chain. Originally inhabiting the depths of "Paradise," their numbers were scarce, but for some reason, they've now appeared in border areas.

Facing the Lurscorpion's continuous attacks, George kept sidestepping to avoid the two pincers, but it was still quite challenging. "Mock, please demonstrate your Talent to save him!" Rachel's eyes were full of anticipation, and Edan was equally eager.

Mock frowned. "It's a pity, but my Talent isn't suited for combat. George, you better perform well in front of your juniors. And continuing like this, you won't be able to defeat this Lurscorpion either." He said this as he sheathed his giant sword, showing no intention of helping. It seemed he wanted to test George's abilities using this opportunity.

George leaped backward to create some distance, focusing on gathering energy. "That's my intention anyway, since you're not planning to step in."

"Keep an eye on them," Mock reminded.

Suddenly, a bright red headband, short cloak, gloves, and high-heeled boots appeared on George as if out of thin air. He looked like a beautifully dressed girl. This was his Talent, "Elemental Dress," similar to Selfalter. There were five variations of it, with effects changing based on the color.

He swung his giant sword to block the pincers, clearly finding it much easier than before. Then, he seized the opportunity to leap onto the Lurscorpion's back and struck with all his might. The blade pierced through its thick armor, causing it to struggle frantically in pain before burrowing underground to escape. After all, Lurscorpions were rare creatures and normally wouldn't attack humans. George didn't intend to pursue it further.

Applause came from Mock. "Well done. 'Fire Dress' is the strongest in terms of physical power among the five sets of clothing. In this state, it's comparable to me swinging my sword with full strength using one hand." The two of them thought he was just going in circles praising himself, weren't they?

Seeing that the crisis was over, Mock ordered Edan and Rachel to leave. He and George would continue investigating the false creature incident and its impact on the natural ecosystem. After all, they had already driven the Lurscorpion to the border, and other dangerous animals residing deep in Paradise might face similar situations.

On the way, Edan and the two still felt lingering fear. If Mock hadn't shown up in time, they would have been killed by the Cruewolf pack by now, not to mention the Lurscorpion.

The attacks by false creatures on humans had been ongoing for over two months. Many residents, travelers, and guards had encountered them. King Anwar believed that this news could no longer be concealed and formally released it to the public through the Secretariat.

These false creatures were named "Fakeslave." Their origins were still under investigation, but they were preliminarily judged to be copies or modifications of existing species. They appeared both on the outskirts of Homeland and near "Paradise," attacking and preying on humans, occasionally attacking other animals as well. They seemed to be controlled by some form of command.

They generally wouldn't cause bleeding from minor injuries, but when fatally wounded, they would turn into powder. Their appearance was similar to regular creatures, but their pupils were bloodshot, making them quite easy to identify.

Due to the aggressive and hostile nature of the "Fakeslave," King Anwar urged the people of Paradise to be cautious. He had also dispatched Huntectors to investigate, maintain ecological balance, and increase patrols to ensure the safety of the people.

The appearance of the new "Skullbreaker" species along with the "Fakeslave" was an unsettling sign for King Anwar, indicating that some major event was brewing in the shadows.
