The rat monster was now a contracted beast of the White Beauty. Since he lent her the LifeSkill, she could now create contracts herself.
The White Beauty felt a connection with the rat monster the way Atlan had a connection with her.
And by proxy, Atlan also felt a connection with the rat monster.
With a single command, the rat monster suddenly opened its mouth and regurgitated the key that was hiding in its stomach. It was slimy and wet, but it was still in good condition.
The White Beauty petted the rat monster's head and it reciprocated her actions by snuggling its head to her hand.
With the Rat Monster becoming an ally, Atlan had another strong puppet in his employ.
But since it was far too large to fit through the next door, the White Beauty commanded the rat monster to stay in her book of contracts for now.
