Chapter 222 Jewel Hunt - Day 2
The two had already been fighting for a couple of minutes, their strength was above all the other monsters nearby and they weren\'t worried about any of them trying to attack them while being weakened later on. None of the monsters nearby were even close to their power.
The two monsters continued their fierce fight as they destroyed the trees around them, some of the weaker monsters had even tried to get closer in order to find out what was happening, but unfortunately for them, they would either get blasted to bits by the lion or cut to pieces by the blood-red tiger.
Suddenly the two stop as they look at the side, immediately they growl and bare their fangs as they were able to hear footsteps coming from there. Seven people could be seen a couple of meters in front of the monsters. Reign and the others had watched the battle for some time before deciding to go to them and fight.
The two monsters were variants and they would take some time to defeat if they were uninjured and at their peak. Right now, however, both were injured and their strength was clearly not the same as it was previously.
Reign was the first to attack, he appeared next to the lion immediately and used his full power to deliver a powerful blow from above his head. The lion was immediately smashed down on the ground from the attack, since Reign now had more mana, he was free to imbue more of it during his attacks, thus boosting his physical abilities as well.
The plan here was simple, they weren\'t going to kill the two monsters, since they were variants and they were both injured, it was a perfect chance to beat them up and allow Beast to tame them.
His two wind wolves were cool and all, but unfortunately they weren\'t anything special when it came to their level, their power was barely above the average and the species of wind wolves that they had turned to was nothing extraordinary either.
These two bad boys however were something else. They were powerful, and their power was almost at the level of Fluffy and Jackie ( the golden lion is named Jackie ).
Blackie was still the one with the most potential however, it was just that he was a couple of levels lower compared to them, the two beasts were level 37 now while he was only 32. A difference of 5 levels wasn\'t that much usually, but for monsters of high grades, it was more noticeable as each level would make them noticeably stronger, even if it was just a bit noticeable.
For people it was not really the same, only later on would players start getting the advantages that were given to them by their classes, which was something that no monster had and their biggest advantage when fighting against them. Both monsters and humans, and well other races could have abilities, but not all were eligible for a class, the monsters were always physically superior to other species, dragons being one of the leading monster species in the universe.
Of course, the universe was fair and as such others had chances to catch up whilst the ones that were born with an advantage would have a more difficult time later on by the average. Nothing was truly unfair, except for having Gods as parents, that\'s just a given.
Classes, however, were something that would help out players during a leveling phase, from them the players would be able to learn new skills and get some bonus stats, the skills would be helpful for the players to use as a reference in order to create their own. Most players wouldn\'t be able to create their own skills before level 10, contrary to what Reign and the whole squad did.
The battle ended fairly quickly as the two wounded beasts were not a problem for Reign and the others, especially after Beast had also summoned all of his beasts out as well. In the short time span of 2 minutes both the tiger and lion were lying on the ground whilst panting heavily. Their bodies were heavily bruised and some of their bones were also broken.
Judging from that, it wouldn\'t be hard to imagine that they could have some internal bleeding as well. Well, it was all fine as Laura was there to help the two out, right after they accepted Beast as their new master of course.
Beast had already let the two wind wolves go, the two looked at him with a warm gaze as their bodies shone with a bright light before disappearing. Beast had previously asked the system what would happen after releasing his beasts and the response was that they would be let free in the world, but they would be teleported first as the system didn\'t want the beasts to follow after the tamer even after being released.
In order to combat that, the beasts would simply be teleported somewhere in the world, in an area where there were monsters of the same level as them.
Beast looked at the spot where the two had previously been with a heavy gaze, the two wolves were his first tamed beasts, they had helped him immensely in the first dungeon and without them, he might have been even killed back then.
Even after that the two continuously helped out, after Blackie came along he became the de-facto leader of the trio and the three wolves worked incredibly well together. Unfortunately, as more time passed the less helpful the two were, the monsters they were facing were becoming stronger and stronger and the two wolves could fight against one each at their best. Compared to Reign and the others who were able to fight against tens of them at the same time, and Fluffy and the other beasts that were rare variants that could go against multiple enemies of the same level, they were simply too weak.
Beast muttered a quiet \'farewell\' before turning around and crouching in front of the tiger. The beast was currently being held down by both Fluffy and Jackie while Blackie was staring at it from the side. Beast wanted to use them in order to ease the beast a bit. After seeing them, Beast hoped that both the tiger and the lion that was currently being held down by Tank and the others, would calm down a bit and allow him to tame them.
The reason why Beast choose the tiger first was because it seemed a bit crazier compared to the lion which was currently simply observing them. Beast went ahead and put his hand on the tiger\'s head in order to pet it.
"Ggrrrrr!"
The tiger growls immediately and tries to move its head in order to bite Beast\'s arm. However, that was almost impossible as Blackie came near the tiger and started growling at the beast as well.
Blackie was actually a huge help, even though its level was lower compared to the lion and tiger, the mark it had received from the goddess and its specie were all things that put him far above monsters of the same level.
The tiger also issued some growls back, but it was evident that they were not as aggressive as with Beast. Beast on the other hand went towards the lion, the black fur and gray mane of the magnificent animal were stained after the battle. Its calm gaze met Beast\'s and the animal simply continued staring at him before he suddenly petted it. No growling, no movement, there was nothing that the lion did to stop him, on the contrary, it looked like it enjoyed the touch.
Blackie comes near the lion and starts rubbing his head against the lion. The two animals looked incredibly friendly to each other.
"Well, that\'s a big difference compared to that guy," Wolf said as he took his weapon back and put it on his back, the present situation showed that there was actually no need for them to hold the lion down. It didn\'t try to escape even once and it didn\'t even bother resisting all this time.
"Perhaps because of Blackie, since they are both pitch-black, perhaps their species were similar?" Reign suddenly asked from the side.
"Could be, since Blackie seems to be from an incredibly rare species, the lion could simply be showing his loyalty or something like that," Shadow added from the side.
Ding!
