Inside the Starlux Gym.
Green-furred Dog lay on the ground with its eyes closed, its soul still lost in the world of stories.
No one knew how desperate it was right now.
The high and mighty emissary of the Underworld had actually been defeated.
It seemed to have lost sight of its goal and could no longer see its future.
It lay at the feet of Hercules, its eyes unfocused.
Just then, the entire world suddenly began to change.
The next moment, it realized that it had returned to the beginning of the story.
So I have a chance to start over?
At the thought of this, Green-furred Dog's gaze became determined.
Since there's a chance to start all over again, I'm going to change the ending!
I want to become stronger!
I want to defeat Hercules!
I want to wipe off the humiliation I suffered!
It began to unconsciously devour the dead souls of the Underworld.
It could feel its strength increasing.
It felt that it had the strength to fight Hercules!
Finally, it managed to wait for that figure to arrive!
Come and fight!
I will use your Godly blood to wash away my humiliation!
However…
It lost.
It was defeated by Hercules again.
It was indignant.
It was unconvinced.
It wanted to continue challenging him!
After some time, the Green-furred Dog that had transformed into Cerberus had fought Hercules countless times.
As if destined, it never won at all. Every time, it was humiliated and brought back to the world of the living by Hercules.
It did not give up.
One failure after another had made its heart indestructible.
There was only one goal in its heart.
That was to defeat Hercules!
However…
After it failed once again, its soul left the story world and returned to its body in reality.
Its eyes were tightly shut, but there was already a trace of blood trickling out from the corner of its eyes.
It was extremely exhausted.
However, it stared fixedly at the black figure in its mind.
It was the figure of Cerberus.
It was furious.
Why?
Why?!
Why can't I defeat Hercules?!
Under its infinite rage, the Green-furred Dog's soul once again entered the Underworld in the story.
It began to challenge Hercules again.
This time, it did not make demand on its own strength.
It began to draw support from external forces.
It was an emissary from the Netherworld.
Its body contained a terrifying Soul Poison!
This poison originated from the souls, and no one could stop it!
Finally, it faced off Hercules once again.
It succeeded!
Hercules was poisoned and fell to the ground, losing all his strength.
Even Gods were unable to withstand the Soul Poison.
In front of the gate of the Underworld, by the Underworld River.
Cerberus, who had three heads, decapitated Hercules!
At the same time, in the real world, the endless light representing evolution enveloped the Green-furred Dog.
A moment later…
Howl!
Accompanied by a roar, a three-headed dog that was covered in black flames appeared on the spot.
The Envoy of the Underworld, the Three-Headed Hellhound had returned to the human world!
…
The next day.
Giles looked at the three-headed hellhound beside him and sighed.
The burden on him had increased again.
Yesterday, after the Green-furred Dogheard the story, it was as Giles had expected.
It had directly evolved into a Gold-rank Three-Headed Hellhound.
Other than that, it had even awakened a skill.
Soul Poison.
This was a poison that even an Epic-rank beast could not withstand!
With this, Giles had more confidence in this operation.
With that in mind, Giles hurried towards the city gate.
At the same time, at the city gate.
Rex and the others were standing at the gate, waiting for Giles.
"Rex, who are we waiting for? Is it another Epic-rank Beast Tamer? But Alice has left, and there are no other Epic-rank Beast Tamers in the city," a burly middle-aged man with a scar on his face said to Rex impatiently.
Rex glanced at him and said calmly, "He's not an Epic-rank Beast Tamer. You'll know when he comes."
The middle-aged man's name was Richard. He was another Epic-rank Beast Tamer in the team, but he was too impulsive.
Initially, Rex did not want to invite him to join the operation, but he was the only Epic-rank Beast Tamer left in Yin City.
In order to ensure the safety of this operation, Rex could only invite him to participate in it.
"Rex, it's not that I want to criticize you, but with us two Epic-rank Beast Tamers around, why would we need these Gold-rank kids?"
Richard pursed his lips in disdain as he looked at the two Gold-rank Beast Tamers.
It was a man and a woman.
The man was Bart, Rex's grandson.
The other was a blonde girl named Elena, who was also a Gold-rank Beast Tamer.
Bart was furious when he heard Richard's words. He wanted to say something but decided not to. He turned his head away and looked at the scenery.
The girl named Elena chuckled, seemingly unconcerned.
Rex smiled and said, "Young man, it's good to gain more experience."
Richard didn't say anything else.
They waited a while more.
Just as Richard was getting impatient, Giles arrived.
"Sorry, I think I'm late."
Giles scanned the room, then focused his gaze on Richard.
This was the other Epic-rank Beast Tamer in the team.
Giles thought for a moment about who he was.
Think his name is Richard. He's a narrow-minded fellow. He's had a grudge with the old gym leader before.'
Giles instantly became on guard.
He didn't expect it to be this guy.
However, he was not too worried.
Nothing should happen with Rex around.
Furthermore, although he is only a Gold-rank Beast Tamer, the spirit beasts he contracted were not ordinary spirit beasts. They were enough to fight against Epic-rank spirit beasts.
With that thought in mind, Giles glanced at the others.
He saw Bart. He hadn't expected Rex to bring him along.
Then, his gaze landed on the girl. He had never seen her before.
Just then, a discordant voice sounded, "Rex, you were waiting for this kid?"
"I heard that he's a Bronze-ank Beast Tamer?"
"Are you sure he's not throwing away his life by participating in this operation?"
As the arch-enemy of the old gym leader, Richard naturally knew Giles.
Seeing that Giles was also a member of this operation, he immediately mocked him.
Rex immediately walked over to Giles when he heard that.
"Don't look at the present the way you used to, Richard."
"Giles is now a true-blue Gold-rank Beast Tamer."
Richard pursed his lips in disdain.
"So what if he's a Gold-rank Beast Tamer? In front of an Epic-rank beast, he's just an ant."
With that, Richard summoned his Epic-rank beast, the Blood-Winged Bat.
The moment it came out, it flapped his wings and a gust of wind appeared.
Bart was caught off guard and fell. He glared at Richard.
Giles and the girl remained where they were, as if unaffected.
Richard snorted coldly and jumped onto the Blood-Winged Bat's back.
Rex sighed and said nothing.
"Let's go."
