The amount of energy that they had was massive. Numerous mercenaries, Core Hunters, Baron groups, and parties of a mixed group of warriors, archers, and other fighting professions that had formed teams offered a significant amount of monster cores, and more than fifty percent of all these cores were stored within Kairo.The first surge of energy was given to Flay, and he soon managed to level up.“Everyone, the process of receiving the energy is simple. All that energy, all those Monster Cores that you have seen, were made to pill. But more than half of those energies are right inside Kairo.”“All of them?!” Arthen was stunned.“Yes. Not a single drop of energy was wasted.” Flay smiled.“That’s amazing! Then… we Tamers…!”“We still have to hide it. Remember that there are many traitors in our midst. If our fight with them turns into an all-out battle, we would still be at a disadvantage since they have the Warlocks to help them. Leveling up our members is necessary. But if we level up

When Flay made his declaration, everyone had different reactions.The Tamers were shocked, while Elaine and Liathel found the declaration laughable.“Forgive me for being blunt, Master Flay. But I don’t think you understand the weight and dangers of this tournament. You are strong. But the truth is even I don’t have any hopes of reaching the top ten!” Liathel answered.“I stuck my foot out to beat you. So, of course, you won’t make it to the top ten.” Flay frowned.The Tamers, Elaine, and the retainers all felt the burn that Flay gave Liathel.Liathel’s expression turned red but controlled her tone and anger.“What I mean to say, Master Tamer… Is that the enemies that you will face are so strong that even my Iai cannot penetrate their defenses. They are monsters among men. There is the Scarless Barbarian, who has such tremendous defense that no blade has even cut him. There is the Hero of the Horde who slew his hundred monsters. The Undefeated Nomad, the Blurring Blade, and so much mo

The deeper parts of the cave were full of treacherous beasts deeper inside.Numerous groups were lost inside the caves as the main route was full of ambushes and attacks.A mercenary group fell into the trap of a cluster of spiders. The spiders appeared and surrounded them, and the mercenaries had to form a circle and attack the massive, hairy spiders. But one by one, the poison and attacks of the spiders were making the group turn weak. The wounded was tended to in the middle of the circle.“Fight on!” The leader shouted as he harnessed his Apprentice-8 strength to kill yet another one.But suddenly, a red spider emerged and leaped at him.“Die!” The man countered, but as his sword struck the spider…SNAP!The weight and defenses of the spider easily caused the sword to break.STAB!One of the legs of the red spider stabbed at the leader and broke through the captain's armor.His allies roared, and a barbarian swung his giant hammer, but the red spider retreated.“Captain!” A mercena

The mercenaries were all shocked at what had happened.A rock had nearly struck their captain at his full speed. It was a scene that these groups had never seen before. They believed only the likes of the Hero of the Horde could do that! Their captain was heralded as the fastest warrior in the Westerfort region!The skill and speed of this mercenary with a special fighting profession known as the Frontal Assassin was known as the Blurring Blade!Liathel and Elaine were both on the brink of going mad.At first, they could hear the roars of the Komodos and knew that they were fighting someone. But then, Flay suddenly ran as fast as he could, and the rest chased after him.As they were running, Flay took a rock he found on the ground, and finally, the group could see the merrymaking, komodo-slaying, fun camp of the mercenaries.The two sisters instantly recognize the company as the Blurring Reds! And their leader was the Blurring Blade Frontal Assassin.But before they could say anything

The Tamers and the Diasons had settled down and were resting on the makeshift beds made on the ground by the Blurring Reds.Arthen and Ligz had practiced numerous formations to get a good grasp that they might use in future fights.The Diasons were also informed about the purpose of all formations and when they might need to use them.The more the Diasons heard, the more their image of the Tamers changed. Finally, Liathel and Elaine began to ask them about like in Monsters Edge, and Flay, in turn, asked about the Diasons of their life as nobles.The more the Tamers heard about life as nobles, the more they were shocked.“So outside, we face the monsters that could threaten to kill us. But for those in the Kingdom they suffer from plots within…” Arthen was amazed at what they heard. They couldn’t believe how chaotic, scheming, and dangerous it was to aim to be a noble in the Kingdom.“A Tamer won’t survive a day in the Kingdom.” Flay chuckled.“Yeah. It’s quite scary…” Ligz sighed.“Bu
