[5 Hours Later.]
Grwooo!
Christopher held his stomach, and moved his gaze around him. He was in a forest, and surprising as is it; he has no idea where he is.
'I need food... But...'
He looked around. '...Where? If I hunt Beasts, the smell of blood and fire will alert other Beasts.'
BANG!!
BOOM!!!
"...Those are sounds of fighting."
After some hesitation, he ran towards the location.
_
"Huh?" Christopher was stunned.
"Vicki!! [Helm of Protection]!"
A young lady, looking her 20s; with long pink hair styled in a ponytail, yelled. Charging towards a brown dog, who has three tails and razor sharp teeth.
Hearing its master, a gray Earth Cat behind her glowed with a radiant green light, Moment Next; a green transparent circular shield surrounded the lady's body.
"What are you doing, Advika?! That Ordinary stage Beast has a combat strength of Lv1!!"
A blonde hair girl, who stood beside the Earth Cat yelled in mild surprised, seeing her sister rushing towards the beast.
"Come on, Lani! We need to assist her! Use [Bond]!"
The green Goat standing in front of her nodded, raised its two front legs and smashed it on the ground.
BAM!!
Green plants' roots shot out beneath the enraged Beast, binding its legs and body, successfully restraining its movement.
"Nicely done, Sylvia!!"
The pink hair lady leaped into the air, and slashed down on the beast.
BAM!!!
Her sword collided on the beast's head, but to her shock. Her attack was completely ineffective.
The Beast's eyes glowed red, seeing this, the young lady leaped backwards.
The beast destroyed the roots on its body, and launched towards her with clear intent to kill.
Advika quickly raised her sword in a defense, planning on blocking the claws of the dog.
BAM!
The Beast's claws collided on the green shield around her, throwing her meters back.
Advika landed on her feet, right in front of her sister, and Beasts.
Grazzz!!!!
The Beast let out an angry roar, and shot forward, running towards the sisters and their Beasts.
"Vicki! With me!!"
Advika spun her sword and shot forward. The 1-meter tall Cat, followed behind her, its eyes glowing green.
Christopher watched in fascination, as the three clashed in an epic battle.
"Wow, Such a fierce lady... But I don't get... Ordinary stage Beasts don't have cores, and their parts aren't worth much in auction houses... That leave only one answer, which is; these two are after the Beast's flesh... Which could be sold for a low price."
He watched as the enraged Beast collided with the cat, throwing it some meters back, Advika rushing in to assist without thinking of any consequences.
"She's brave." He nodded. "But her Beast is a Perfect Stage, but its Combat stage is only on Lv1, same with the dog... Even the one named Sylvia, her beast is also a Lv1... Is this their first battle?"
He shook his head.
"That's not possible, This pink hair girl moved with the agility of a fighter... This isn't her first battle, but it's for Sylvia."
BANG!!
Advika leaped backwards landing beside her Beast, who quickly stood up from the ground.
"Ok. Vicki... You know what to do."
Vicki nodded and turned into a trail of green light, and shot towards the Beast, Advika exhaled and followed behind, with five times her initial speed.
Seeing her sister's action, Sylvia yelled: "Lani, [Bond]!"
Her Beast did the same action, and roots surrounded the enraged Beast, holding all its body to the ground.
"Her Beast might be a perfect stage Beast, but its Combat strength is Lv1... Which means it could only use one skill, same with the Cat... But, What is this pink hair planning on doing?" Christopher was getting confused.
He watched in shock, as the green light surrounded her sword.
"Impossible!!"
He exclaimed, as Advika got in front of the restraint Beast, and slashed with her sword, which was surrounded with her Beast, on its head, easily splitting it open.
BAM!
Blood spurts out from the crack, bathing her face red... The dog dropped, dead.
Advika drew out her sword, her beast flew out from the blade, and took its none combat form, landing on her shoulder.
"We did it, Vicki." She smiled for the first time.
Christopher stared at her with horror, utterly perplexed. 'Only a few Tamers could train their Beasts to use that form, combining with their weapons to increase its attacks, or defense attributes! This girl will be a monster if she becomes an Elite or higher stage Tamer.'
Before he knew it, Advika turned her head towards the bush he was hiding in, and yelled: "Come out!!"
'Truly a monster!!'
Christopher took a deep breath, and exhaled. Then calmly walked outside, his hands tucked in his pocket, acting all cool, with his jacket-made-bag wrapped around his neck.
'Yeah, I see how this makes me look like a fool.' He thought.
The two girls frowned slightly, seeing Christopher.
"Who are you?!" Advika coldly asked.
"You can call me Chris. Wow, you guys were good... Taking down this beast." He said with a smile, and added:
"I see you have been doing this for a long time now."
"No... Well... For me, yes. It's my first time--"
"--Hold on, Sylvia."
Advika moved her scrutinizing gaze on Christopher, and sneered. "How long have you been standing there?" She asked.
"Not long--"
"--Not long."
She chuckled in disdain, and added with a tone as cold as ice. "Then move on."
Christopher stared at her for some seconds, and suggested; "Maybe I can help you with something, You alone won't be able to exsanguinate, and skin the Beast, I know you're after its skin and meat--"
Whoosh!!
Christopher shut his mouth, seeing her sword on his neck, he slowly raised his hands into the air.
"Mind your business, and Vicki here can help me with that!" Advika said.
Christopher smiled. "Yeah, But can it help you with that, and also protect you from those Beasts staring at your kill?"
"Huh?"
Advika looked over her shoulder, seeing two green scales Komodo dragons, measuring 3 meters long. And 1.8-meter tall, staring at her kill.
Advika, and Sylvia froze in shock, while Christopher chuckled.
