"Piekro, your intelligence work is worse than those newspaper reporters! No wonder even Feld wanted to get rid of you!"
Barrack was furious. From beginning to end, not a single piece of Piekro's intelligence had been accurate. Whether it was their abilities or their exact numbers, everything differed drastically from reality.

Barrack understood the Mink Tribe, which was why he had said their organs were rare. Accordingly, he also knew just how terrifying a Mink Tribe member in this form could be.
It was said to be the Mink Tribe's true form, but due to the limitations of their bodies, they could only use it under a full moon. Once this form was activated, a Mink Tribe member's strength, speed, endurance, lightning power—everything related to combat—would undergo a qualitative transformation.
