Lillian stared at the Heroine and fell into deep thought. She keenly thought back to the Barrel Mole's sudden increase in physical stats. It was both unnatural and... Supernatural.
And she knew the reason why—it was because of the Alpha's Predatory Aura.
While the aura of a powerful monster did prove to be useful for hunting small prey, it also provided a sort of morale boost and enhancement for lesser monsters of the same species.
Granted, this ability could only be attained as long as every kin respected the Alpha and saw it as the leader.
Monsters that held this ability were naturally called by both Jester and the humans as Alphas.
The radius of this buff was relative to the Alpha's rank, which was around D-rank—Savage. This, in turn, would mean it could spread to a maximum diameter of around 50 metres.
...
If the monsters around them were now in range of the Alpha's buff, then that would mean... They were in danger.
"I think we should retreat."
