"Master, please let me carry you."
"Loyal, please let me help you!"
A pair of smiling monsters said at the same time, looking at the person or their adoration. But then both looked at each other in annoyance and hissed in anger:
"Shut up green thing! I'll carry master!"
"Shut up bad dog, I'll help my Loyal"
Yoichi could only sigh as he watched Bür argue with their new ally, Xėgu (Z-gu), the black Lycanthrope that started calling him master for some unknown reason. Both their Gods thought it was a great idea to simply connect their monsters together and keep them separate at the same time... Its complicated. Basically they can understand each other languages now but can also speak their own languages without the other understanding it if they want, but Yoichi can understand it easily since they can't hide what they say from him. Behind them, following them out of the dungeon was the whole Gnoll community of this dungeon: 104 Gnolls and 1 Lycanthrope, which was Xėgu, the leader of the Gnolls of this region of the Ethryl Dungeon.
There were three little Gnolls, because there were no females for the monster races, it comes for their Gods to create purebred monsters, without female humans, elves, dwarves, nor beastkins. These three little male Gnolls were like small puppies, completely adorable, so much that Yoichi was carrying them with his arms because they were the size of Chihuahuas and looked each one like cute Golden Retriever, Siberian Husky, and a cute Shiba Inu... Yoichi couldn't help but hug them. He looked at the two hunks beside him that were glaring at each other, he could practically see the spark between their eyes as they stared at each other, he could only sigh and look back at the 101 adult Gnolls following him, looking at him with clear interest in their various eyes.
They looked cute to him, and Yoichi loved dogs, so he could only see them as dogs and did not find that creepy at all! It was like spark of electricity danced when they looked at each other's eyes, making Yoichi sigh and say: "Shut up you two. Don't want to attract the attention of a strong monster due to our party size." Yoichi's words carried weight with them due to the fact that he was blessed by their Gods, the ultimate symbol of respect they always had, so of course they will respect him! Soon there was only silence and only their footsteps was heard, until Yoichi saw Xėgu's ears twitch as his face lost all color, he shouted: "Hide!" As he grabbed Yoichi and jumped clawed the walls, hiding, every Gnoll began to dig holes for themselves and hid away, Bür went after Xėgu and Yoichi, and they all hid together in the same hole as a sudden sense of dread washed over everyone.
Yoichi was confused, he felt it too, but it wasn't that bad for him. Maybe because he has experienced death and the pain of having your soul burned, but he felt like there was something looking at him with hostility... He looked at hole when a pair of white eyes looked at the hole, it was a white snake... And it was looking at him! "Shit!" Xėgu cursed and leaped out of the hole together with Yoichi, Bür instinctively followed suit and they left the hole on the wall, and only a white blur could be seen as the snake attacked the place where they were seconds ago. "Fucking dammit!" Xėgu cursed and Yoichi held the puppies tight, he didn't want to drop them, he looked at the snake just to see several red eyes growing along the snake's long body stare at him, instantly he had a feeling like something was trying to touch his mind, it felt weaker than the Three Bitches' curses, so he could easily ignore that.
"What is that?" Yoichi asked as both Xėgu and Bür were cooperating to escape this thing, so it must be truly, truly strong. "An Hexsnake! It is very dangerous, if you look at the eyes on its body, it can make you go insane! You can only run from this thing since killing it is impossible, you need to kill it in one move or else it will regenerate and kill you, it is also very poisonous and their blood can be used to make a lot of medicine and antidotes." Bür explained while carrying him, Xėgu had taken the puppies from his arms and gave him to Bür who gladly accepted carrying his Loyal. "We can't kill it?" Yoichi had the idea to use the same method he used to kill the snake, he apparently was immune to the eye's effects, because he could look at it and be perfectly fine after. "How, my Loyal?" Bür asked in doubt, not that he doubted that his Loyal could kill such beast, he was confused how he would kill it.
"I need that blue potion." Yoichi spoke and looked at Bür, who continued to run as the snake followed them, it wanted to eat Yoichi because he was a human, and humans smell delicious to monsters. Bür reached out for his bag and took the blue potion, gave it to Yoichi who took out another one from his [Storage]. "I hope this helps!" He would open a portal in front of the snake and then close it, but he needed it to be bigger than the snake because it could dodge it, this snake was faster and bigger than the first one he killed after all. "I need you to distract the snake Bür, only a few seconds! Then come to me again."
It would take a few seconds for the portal to open so wide, and Yoichi didn't know if there was a limit of distance for him opening a portal away from him, he also plants on decapitating the snake and add it to his collection of decapitated snakes. "I think i can do that, my Loyal." Bür smiles at Yoichi, he would die if he asked him to, but he asked him to distract the snake for a few seconds and asked him to come back to him... Such a lovely Loyal he was. The snake was getting closer to them, Bür used another Technique he knew from his [Fighter] Class: [Speed Up] which consumes mana to increase the speed of user, both attack speed and movement speed! There was a light blue hue around Bür as he dashed away, he was followed by both the snake and Xēgu who looked distressed.
"What are you doing!?" He shouted, more concerned than angry, his body glowed in a red aura as he dashed faster than Bür and caught up to them easily, making Bür have the realization that if this Lycanthrope wanted, he could've killed them from the beginning... "Xėgu!" Yoichi shouted, making the Lycanthrope look at him with a confused and concerned face: "Help Bür and distract that thing, then come back to me!" Xėgu looked at Yoichi's determined eyes and a sense of duty surged inside his heart, as if he found something interesting that he should keep all for himself- "Got it." It's not time for that, he will trust Yoichi! They got some ways away from the snake and set Yoichi on the ground and returned to attack and distract the snake.
Now, Yoichi had to increase the size of the portal in his mind, and it wasn't instantaneous, it took a few seconds for him to increase the portal. This method used mana, but it prevented the portal from slowly opening since Yoichi would be doing that already inside his mind so he could instantly open and close the portal. He needs to try some things with his skill... Like, how far away can he open a portal? Can living things enter his [Storage] and survive? Can he? If so, can he enter his [Storage] and open a portal to another place and essentially teleport...?
Many questions, but he knows he can kill with this skill.
"I'm ready!" Yoichi shouted, both Orc and Lycanthrope were attacking the snake's white eyes, they were slightly faster than the snake, it kept going forward but only slower, so when they heard Yoichi was ready they returned running back to him. Yoichi watched as the snake unhinged its maw and slithered to swallow hom whole, Xėgu and Bür had almost 0 on both Mana and Stamina, and Yoichi was drinking one of the blue potions. When the snake was a 5 feet away, a thin blue portal appeared in front of it instantly, it was bigged than it's head and the snake had no time to dodge as its head entered the portal and dissapeared as the portal closed, leaving behind a headless corpse of a snake. Yoichi was sure it was dead because:
