The three beasts were breathing heavily. And also Yeman noticed that their health points were slowly droppings.

They were losing blood every passing second.

He went to the Snake-Eyed Phantom that he first targeted and stopped at 2 meters distance from it. Then extended his hand towards the beast.

After he leveled up his Artifice Thread skill, not only he could control more pets, his thread also grows longer and thicker. Now it has 12 meters in length. Even the time he needed to wait had dropped to 50 seconds.

Seeing the cool-looking beast in front of him. His face couldn't hide the excitement he felt. His mouth twitches into a grin.

He noticed the girl beside him with a puzzled look on her face. But he didn't mind it. The truth was, he doesn't really care if his ability was known to others.

But before that, he needed to be sure that he was strong enough before it was revealed. Since this girl already knew that he had the ability, he doesn't need to hide it from her anymore. It wasn't like she could do anything about him at this point in time. Even if this girl would become his enemy in the future, but Yeman believes that when that happened, he was strong enough to protect himself and the people he needed to protect.

Well, it doesn't matter anyway, since every secret was destined to be known in due time.

Mina's eyes opened widely while staring at the guy's hand in which the thread-like object that made of pure energy crawled out of it like a snake. It extended towards the beast at their front which gasping for dear life.

The thread constricts the beast's body but...

<Taming failed! Insufficient level.>

"What?" Yeman was stupefied.

Above Mina's head appeared the sign "???". She doesn't know what happened but she noticed the stupefied expression of the guy beside her.

After that, she noticed his weird habit again of tapping in the air. Really, she couldn't guess what he was doing.

Yeman decided to check his status screen. His level was 30 and the beast level was 30 also. It looks like he needed to have a higher level than the monsters of pet he wanted to tame.

He then peeked on his Experience Points and saw the number 1,800/31,000 exp.

Though regretful, he needed to kill the other beast.

Mina saw it when the guy beside him mercilessly fired the red light again to the dying beast. She thought if there was a need to be so cruel.

But she remembered that they were trained to kill monsters. Though this guy did the kill without a second thought, she decided to remain quiet.

Sometimes she asked him some questions like how he got that skill. But he answered her that in the middle of the fight against the ratmen, he awakened his magic energy.

This was the first time happened. Since he was the only case that has no aptitude with magic. Good thing that he awakened his magic finally.

Mina assumed that maybe his magic needed a life and death situation to trigger.

She also asked if there was anyone except her who knew about it. But his answer for some reason made her felt cheerful after knowing that she was the first to know and the only one who knew about it except him.

She was wondering why she felt happy after knowing that she was the first to know. She questioned herself if why she felt like this? Maybe she was happy about his achievement?

But it was foreign for her to feel this happy for other people and not a member of her family or friend. Especially this guy who she used to hate. No, this happiness she felt right now was somewhat different. She also was happy that she knew some of Hannah's secrets before, which only two of them knew. But she didn't feel the same happiness that she felt now.

Mina could only sigh for this foreign feeling of happiness while unconsciously glancing at those captivating eyes of him.

<+20,000exp>

<Congratulations New Title aquired>

After killing a beast he found out that it wasn't enough to make himself advance to the next level.

Yeman could only depart a regretful sigh from his mouth. But at least he got the new title after killing the beast.

He continued to kill the second beast. Another bullet of stone flew faster than a bullet of a pistol. For some reason, every time he leveled up, his skills also becomes stronger. Now he felt that his Finger Bullet skill transformed into a rifle bullet. Much stronger and higher damage. The penetration force had increased as well.

He couldn't help thinking about what it becomes in due time.

The stone penetrated the second beast's skull and...

<+25,000exp>

<Level Up!>

Finally, he leveled up. Now he advances to level 31. He continued what he did to the beast and finally succeeded after waiting for fifty seconds.

Then again, Mina had abled to witness the sudden appearance of the mysterious old man that healed her foot last night.

She looked around to figure out if where this old man went from but failed to comprehend. Mina wanted to cry and beg him for an explanation or else her poor mind would be lost her sanity.

Yeman giggled at her reaction. He found it fun to tease her a bit.

After summoning his pet Elder Priest, like before it respectfully bowed at him while saying the word he usually said to him.

Mina could only stare blankly at these two. Wondering if her mind was still fine. How or when this person became a lord? She couldn't help asking this to herself.

Yeman instructed Elder Priest to heal their new friend.

After Elder Priest respectfully nod, he began casting healing skills to their new comrade.

Seconds later, The beast stood up healthy. Then it wagged its tail while pressing his face to the guy's feet.

Seeing this. Mina was about to collapse while mumbling the word "F-R-I-E-N-D?".

Her mind was about to explode. She felt like she was dreaming. No, the truth...she wanted to believe that this was just a dream.

She clinches her head with her hands. 'How come a fierce-looking beast that you almost killed a while ago suddenly become a friend?!'

'Is this—what they called, the more you hate, the more you—-waaaaaahhhhh!'.
