Based on current observations, it is unlikely.
Arlie's words reassured me somewhat, but also increased my already overflowing doubts: "They acted as if they were guarding something, constantly patrolling the vicinity. As long as they didn't get too close or show obvious hostility, they wouldn't attack even if they passed right in front of me."
But now is not the time to talk about that.
After confirming that it wouldn't cause any immediate trouble, I noted down the information to think about later, and proceeded with my questions methodically: "So let's get back to the previous topic. According to current research, each beast tide includes a leader monster, the number of which varies. It could be the largest one, or it could be the particularly cunning and intelligent one. These monsters seem to have a certain deterrent or driving effect on the beast horde."
"Then, is there any way to artificially induce monsters to gather, or to lure monsters to move in one direction?"
Ale nodded affirmatively: "Yes. Similar tactics were used in the defense operations a few years ago, such as distributing the scent collected from the leader of the monster as a marker to induce the attacking beast tide to misjudge the situation. But this tactic cannot last long, because it is a scent whose source has been severed. Once the effect is over, the scent will gradually fade, and there is a possibility of backlash."
"Unless it is transferred to a monster that also possesses this aptitude. There is a certain probability that it can maintain this state, but it is also very likely that the recipient will go mad as a result."
"What if we transfer the source of this effect to the chimera?" I asked again.
This time, Ale lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
When he raised his head again, his dark golden pupils, now open, held only seriousness and solemnity.
“You should know that since the emergence of the chimera, all that has existed until now has been an incomplete version, right?” he said softly. “After all, the closest complete version was buried with the death of the original creator, and the successors have never been able to reach those tiny distances, and can only linger at the door.”
"This means that the chimera ultimately requires constant maintenance, making it difficult to successfully stray too far from the experimental area. Even the most successful one, as far as I know, only lasted a mere seven days."
"And assuming it really can transplant that kind of aura..."
He remained silent for a long time, then tapped his index finger lightly on the table before finally making a decisive statement: "It is obvious that unless it can receive constant maintenance and care, even if it can hunt for prey on its own, it will never be able to gather as many large monsters as you described in a short period of time."
