As Saros and company were getting closer to the bear's territory, he remembered something
"Otos do you mind your current name?"
'Oh, Not really, I don't, why?'
"Then your name shall be Otos"
[You have named an individual, they will now gain a system [3/10] ]
Otos was surprised by the system that popped up in front of him and even had a mini panic attack if not for saros calming him down, after all that fuzz they continued to the bear's general cave, this time the guards did not dare stop them with the addition of two ant generals, as they walked through the cave, they saw the worried face of the bear
'How... how could you beat those freakish ants, their average soldiers are weak but, the queen and her generals have a crazy life force and defense, and now they are walking by your side as if they are your personal guards, what happened'
"That does not concern you, right now as we speak over 3 thousand ants are digging right under your noses, you have two options that will decide your fate, One, you join us against the spiders and wolfs, or refuse and face the consequences later on, what is your answer" Saros Venetos and Chrysis stared at the general making him feel uncomfortable as if they are staring down his soul
'Ok, Let's say I agreed, what would I get back for my help'
"I offered you to help us before but you kicked us out, you could have attacked us but you did not, I appreciate that so I'll give you 10% of everything, and a guarantee to protect you from the other forces deep in the forest"
'Sigh, I really have no other choices huh, who would've thought a nobody like him would become so strong in no time' the bear general thought to himself and finally decided after a period of silence 'I agree'
"Good choice, Venetos, Chrysis, withdraw the ant army... so, what is your name, we will be working together now so it's better to know each other by names, mine is saros"
'My name is Nizar, I hope you will be able to keep your promise about protecting My territory, our king would probably not do anything until we are on the prim of annihilation, so I'll be relying on you in the future'
"Of course, ready up the troops, we will be ready to attack by tomorrow morning, I need to do something before this"
'Alright, I'll dispatch five hundred bears that will be ready by tomorrow'
"Ok, Let's go guys" Saros and com left the area leaving the still amazed bear sitting on his throne
Saros lead the rest back to the entrance area where he first got in
'Master, where are we going?' Otos asked
"I'm going to visit an old friend, I wonder what he's doing"
When Saros finally reached the entrance area he headed towards a gloomy zone with tall trees, the swamps, Saros continued down the path until he finally sensed it, the snake that was like a protector of this area, the one that saved him from Fanzon
"I know you're looking at me from above the trees, Snake, come down I don't have any Ill intentions"
Suddenly from atop the trees, a giant snake started descending with confusion all over its face, and it was a bit stiff, showing how nervous it is right now
'What would someone like you want from me' The snake took a glance at Veneto, Chrysis, and Otos 'I don't think I have ever met you, and I'm even more positive I never offended ants nor bears, I wonder what is the cause of these actions' The snake tried to sound as calm as possible, but it was terrified inside, after inspecting them closely he could tell that anyone of them could smash him to bits in seconds, especially the two ants and that strong looking human.
"Hahaha, you really forget people you save? Remember that day when I entered your territory and fought you or when I was held by the neck and you saved me, does it ring any bell?"
'You! are you really that human?! H- how did you improve so quickly? the last time I saw you was almost a month ago but your height has grown so much, your muscles are grown and the energy radiating from you is very pure'
"I know it's weird for you, but it is indeed me, and I have come to repay my debt today, I'll be going to wage a war over two territories tomorrow and I want you to be there"
'W-what! two territories?! This is too much to take in, can you explain it to me slowly'
Saros understood his standpoint and explained everything that happened since he left the swamp area, making him grasp the situation better, Saros also learned that the snake's name is Awanyu so he gave him that name so he can get a system
[You have named one individual, they will now gain a system [4/10] ]
'Your majesty... you actually grew so fast in less than a month?' Venetos asked with suspicion
"Yes, It's a unique technique I have that allows me to compress the bloodline and energy structure of a creature I ate and add it to my own bloodline granting me it's abilities and energy"
'If that is the case, then it makes more sense, although we don't know much about humans ourselves, it's a known fact humans can't gain energy by eating beasts they have killed, they have to learn absorption techniques and gain origin energy themselves, that's the only advantage we have over humans other than our physical strength'
"Is that so? well, we will find out more once we finally reach human lands, for now, let's focus on our current mission, It's already night time and we have to go"
After chatting more with Awanyu and com, they started heading back to the 50 thousand kilometers zone and started preparing themselves for the upcoming war.
