Chapter 176: Dangerous Beast

But before Jim could reply any more words and get more annoyed, he heard Bantay speaking again as the other party stood up, "Please don't get me wrong master. She really did a great job for you all this time..."

Jim couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Just what in the world was the other party talking about?

With that, Jim opened his mouth again as he asked, "Can you tell me more? What are these six levels you are talking about? And how did she do a great job?"

Chuckling.

Bantay was just about to reply when suddenly, all of them heard a soft chuckle. Shortly after that, the chuckle turned into words while saying filled with mockery, "You three really are stupid. After the time you came here to this place, you still couldn't figure out anything at all? Are your brains only for decorations?"

Jim, Ben, and Janine had immediately had their veins popping out on their head. They didn't need to turn around as just by hearing the voice alone could already let them know who was the person that just spoke.

Janine furiously turned around as she pointed her forefinger against the girl she'd just beat up, "Oh? So you are still alive huh. Hurry up and stand up and face me already!"

Jim and Ben had also turned around as they didn't speak a word. Thankfully, Janine acted quickly from the words of that lunatic, or else they might be the ones who would be furiously being provoked right now.

So then, when they turned around, they saw Elaine pushing her body from the ground trying to stand up. But it appeared that she really suffered that badly as she could only sit on the ground as a result.

With that, Elaine shifted her gaze at the three idiots as she asked, "Do you all know why we are here?"

"Huh? Why do I care?" Janine responded furiously as she continued, "Hurry up and get up! Let's see who is stronger between us!"

Jim, who couldn't stand the noisy Janine, clenched his fists as he yelled out at her, "Janine, can you please shut up?!"

Jim wanted to know as well why were they suddenly sent here in this unknown region and this Janine would frustratingly interrupt him? If not for his great forbearance, he might have already turned the other party into a dried corpse.

Janine, on the other hand, shifted her gaze at Jim furiously. Her veins popped out on her head again as she responded, "Huh?! Are you ordering me?"

"I'm just telling you to be quiet."

"What will you do if I don't want to?" Janine replied coldly with a grin and with a will to fight.

"You..." Jim gritted his teeth.

On the other hand, Ben could only sigh deeply seeing the both of them who were about to fight. Were this two really going to fight now? Or was this the so-called love quarrel?

Nonetheless, Ben only watched from the side as he remained silent. He instead observed Elaine trying his hardest to remember where did he see the other party.

On the other hand, Jim who was gritting his teeth for a good while suddenly turned serious with a deep breath. This brute was really pissing him off. That said, a cold voice finally escaped from his mouth, "Bagsik."

Janine who turned serious as well was just preparing herself to fight when she suddenly felt something approaching their direction at a fast rate. She shifted her gaze to the direction where that thing was coming from as she immediately saw a white wolf rushing at them. Not only that, but she also saw a cute little cat riding on its head as her heart had immediately skipped a beat upon seeing it.

"B-baby?" Janine's face flushed red as her world had as if stopped. It was only then did she recall her first love.

It didn't take long for Bagsik to reach his distance towards them. And right after that, the little creature riding joyously on top of Bagsik's head had immediately floated towards Janine and hugged her cheeks. Janine, on the other hand, patted the body of the little creature before embracing it as well in her arms.

"Go away from here and play with that beast instead," Jim said coldly. He felt that his patience would definitely dry up if he talked with this brute any more longer.

He was just thankful that he knew one of the weaknesses of this Janine. And when he recalled about it, he didn't hesitate to use it right away.

A while ago, when Janine entrusted this beast onto him, and when he went to fight as well, Jim had, of course, entrusted that little beast to Bagsik who could hide his presence and move swiftly for safety measures. He couldn't possibly bring that beast while he was fighting, right?

Jim was just thankful as well that Bagsik and that little beast could go along well as they both enjoyed strolling in the area. Or perhaps, only the little beast was enjoying itself while Bagsik was just simply following orders.

In any case, now that he returned the beast to Janine, Jim was just hoping that this brute would finally behave. And thankfully, his expectation didn't betray him.

"Alright!" Janine left those words as she turned around and walked away with the little creature she carried in her arms just like that.

Phew.

Seeing that Janine had finally left, Jim heaved a sigh of relief. After which, he shifted his gaze towards Elaine only to be taken aback. What was with this girl now?

Elaine's eyes had as if seen a ghost as it was fixed towards the leaving Janine. Or rather, to the little beast carried by her. Not only that, but there was also a hint of fear in her eyes as she wasn't even speaking now.

Ben who was just watching silently from the side had also seen the sudden change of the behavior of this person named Elaine. He never thought that her always smiling face could have such a fearful expression.

"What happened?" Jim asked Elaine as he tilted his head sideways. Why was this girl acting so strangely now?

"That beast." Elaine pointed her index finger towards the little beast carried in her left arm by Janine as she continued, "Why are you keeping that thing with you like that? Why aren't you taming it before it's too late? And instead of doing it, why the heck are you letting that girl carry that beast with her?"

"Huh? Why?" Jim was perplexed. That beast was Janine's in the first place so why would he not let Janine carry her own thing? And why was this Elaine asking him to tame that beast? Why would he tame something that wasn't his in the first place? And besides, even if he wished to, that brute would definitely go rampant again as the situation would only turn worse if he stole that beast again from her. That said, he didn't try to tame that beast no matter how much he desired.

Nonetheless, he felt that there was something crucial that he must know this time no matter what. That said, he stared at Elaine intently as he waited on what was the thing that the other party concerning herself about.

"Are you really that stupid?" Elaine was really astonished by the stupidity of the other party. "That thing is dangerous. It is supposed to be not here as it will only appear in the last level. So why and how in the world did you manage to get that thing?"

"D-dangerous?" Jim was taken aback. He didn't feel any danger from that beast though. And contrary to that, he even felt that that beast was way too cute. But what did the other party meant when she said that that beast would only appear in the last level? Just what was it that he didn't know?

"Yes," Elaine replied seriously as not even a trace of smile was left on her lips. She stared at Jim intently as she continued, "That beast is very dangerous. With my current strength, I cannot hope of winning against it. What's more, is that there's also the mother of that beast. Even if with the current strength of the four of us, and even if we work together to defeat that thing, we can only dream of winning."
