“Oh, so one of you knows about me.” Dina faintly smiled, almost amusedly. “This makes things easy.”
Tenzai frowned as deep as his brows allowed. He only saw her once before when she was passing by his tree-house. Other foot disciples began to talk about her, and so he got to know a few things about her. Dina Spoon was a core disciple, probably the most infamous one, as she got known for her notoriety. She did a lot of cruel things, but to put it simple, her history was a mess.
While panting, Edgar looked up at Dina. His sight was now mostly clear.
Dina flickered something, and the item fell in the midst of the four. “Whoever eats that pill gets to leave.”
They looked at the blood-red pill, and Tenzai signaled the others by subtly shaki

WHIT 164 - NOT A CHANCE
“Thunder Coil.” Edgar sent the electricity to his feet like a coil and blasted the air behind him, which in turn propelled him toward her with extreme speed and force, enough to put him at great discomfort. “Nggh!” He raised the spear and stabbed from top-right, aiming at her nape. “Die!”Dina was in the middle of turning.The spear went straight to her forearm and shoulder of her left arm and tore it apart from the rest of her body.“Krrgh!” Dina’s right fist was covered with spherical yellow energy, and she smashed his face. Edgar was blown back, but he immediately used the Thunder Coil and propelled himself back toward her. He shot the spear at her, but she spat the spoon and deflected the spear with it; however, Edgar closed the distance in time, and the lightning covering his hand now looked like a bird limb. “Thunder Claw!”The thunder-reinforced fingers slashed through the drive covering her body and cut up her face, but she somersaulted back and booted him in the chin, sending
WHIT 165 - THE CHANCE
Dina was looking at her severed arm, which wasn’t cut in a clean fashion, “If I go to that place fast, I may be able to get it attached.”In the background, a couple hundred meters away, the beetle flew into the pit.BAM~~!!A second later, four big chunks of meat was sent flying out of the pit. It was the beetle itself, which was killed thanks to all three of the people in the pit attacking it together.Dina turned around in startlement. Seeing her pet getting slashed into bits made even her frown a bit, but that frown soon turned into anger, and she dashed toward the pit. When she reached there, however, nobody was inside. And what’s more, five tunnels were opened inside. So she didn’t know in which direction they went. “I’m not good with sensing things.”Still, she knew where Edgar was. So she immediately jumped in his direction.A swan came flying out of nowhere and attacked her, crashing her down to the ground.“What the heck?” Dina landed on her feet and briefly chased the swan.
WHIT 166 - THE DIRTY WORK
On the evening of the same day.Fabby and others were riding a large gray frog they had recently defeated. Out of the four, only Edgar was sleeping, even though the frog had been jumping on top of the canopy. All four of them were almost healed, at least for outer appearances.“It’s traveling so messily,” Gossini complained. “We should’ve caught a flying beast.”“Flying beasts are harder to control, let alone tame,” said Tenzai. He was the one who dealt the last blow and brought the frog into submission.“But still..” Gossini felt like she was about to vomit.“Haha,” Fabby made the frog stop by scratching on its head. Every time Fabby did that, the frog f
WHIT 167 - THE MYSTERIOUS MERCHANT
At around ten in the night.On top of a giant boulder the size of a small hill, Fabby and others were present.Tenzai was on the lookout. Everyone else was sleeping, including the frog. He, too, was yawning.“You’ve been fighting every beast that came our way,” Gossini said. “Get some rest. I’ll take the shift.”“I thought you were sleeping,” Tenzai was a little surprised.“I tried,” replied Gossini. “But… this rock is still hot.” She glanced at Fabby and Edgar. “It’s surprising how they can sleep on this surface.” Even though she had laid a cushioning carpet on the rock, she could still feel the heat.
WHIT 168 - GONE IS GRAY
Right before dawn.“Finding you wasn’t easy,” Black Broom landed near the waterfall.Numo was sitting cross-legged right under the heavy waterfall. He soon came out of the pool and released drive to quickly dry his clothes. “The man in black… Are you the mysterious merchant who’s been roaming around these woods and selling precious things to disciples these past few days?”“Why do you ask when you already know?” Black Broom smiled faintly. “The young patriarch has asked me to sell goods to those I consider worthy. The Youth Games are nearing, after all.”“Do you have a beast core for me, too?” asked Numo.Black Broom grinned before tossing a wooden
WHIT 169 - GRIPPED BY FEAR
Fabby and others were at the base of a 17,000 meters tall mountain named Sorzy.“This one’s quite big,” said Gossini as she couldn’t even see the top. “We don’t know what kind of monsters are living up there.”“This is one of the biggest ones in these Worry Chains,” Tenzai couldn’t wait to explore. “That’s why we chose it, remember?”“We have three days before the mission’s deadline,” Fabby reminded her team. “If we can find a bird and control it, then we can make it back in time.”“Let’s stick close to one another,” said Edgar, leading the group. “There will be enemies up ahead that we can’t face alone.”
WHIT 170 - TURNING BACK
Before Tenzai’s fist reached the elk, an earthen wall rose between them.“What the—” Tenzai’s whole body banged into the wall, and he crashed down. The elk, on the other hand, rammed its way through the wall, but both its antlers and feet missed Tenzai.Pillars rose out of the ground and randomly smashed the elk from different directions, and when Tenzai looked in Fabby’s direction, she signaled him to abort the mission by making x mark with her fingers.“Tch,” Tenzai didn’t like that, but he listened to her and turned away. “It’s your lucky day, horny beast.”As the elk caused destruction all around, Fabby’s team came down the mountain in the same path they had climbed.
WHIT 171 - HOT EXCHANGE
“Strongest outer disciples of the sect?” Edgar gripped the hilts tightly.“Self-proclaimed…” said Gossini.“What’s that?” Both Edgar and Tenzai looked puzzled as if they never heard of that word.“N-Never mind,” Gossini minded her business by putting her focus on eating carrots.Meanwhile, the Young Twins stole all the rings of the four disciples and were kicking them again. Just then, they saw Fabby and others. Though they initially wondered as to the identity of Gossini and Tenzai because of their lack of uniforms, when their eyes settled on Edgar who was wearing the red uniform, they slightly turned their heads and looked at each other and smiled. Their smiles were quite subtle. After nodding to each other,
