Novel Bin Chapter 632 - Expected Surprise
Although there was a concept similar to leveling up for monsters in this world, it was more akin to self-strengthening through some sort of battle-based cultivation that monster could undergo as they battled, and their beast cores reacted to it.
However, thanks to the System, the monsters were able to learn EXP more easily and Level Up, directly acquiring instant power through Stat boosts with each level, they even gained some new Skills to use, so they were progressing quickly.
Meanwhile, the Beetle of Alexander had reached Level 3 just now, but Frank was confident that it could gain more EXP if his son left it inside the Monster Pet Nursery over the night.
And Gwendolyn\'s Acorn-Shooting Squirrel had also reached Level 4 by now and seemed stronger, with even fiercer acorn-shooting capabilities. And due to Gwendolyn\'s lack of naming sense, she called the squirrel Acorn.
Meanwhile, Ruby had yet to find any fitting monster pet for her, she was saying all the time she wants a "cool one" but there can\'t really be cool ones in this place, they\'re all low-level after all!
As the party decided to take a break and sit down in a clearing while enjoying a small picnic before going back to the monster pet nursery, the thugs following them decided to act and began to move quickly towards their position.
"Frank…" Said Gwendolyn.
"I know." Said Frank.
"Papa, people are coming…!" Said Alexander.
"Are they lost?" wondered Ruby.
"No, they\'re leaking very dreadful auras, I think they probably intend to do something bad to us…"
Frank quickly stood up as he looked back at the thugs emerging from the forest around the clearing where they were sitting and enjoying a breakfast of sandwiches, coffee, and yogurt with fruits.
A pig-faced man with short red hair showed up leading the party, holding a small spray, and having an eagle resting over his shoulder, alongside a few other smaller beasts with him.
There were also another four of these thugs, all of them showed up around the group from the forest, circling them around.
Each one had at least two monster pets at around Level 10, based in Frank\'s ability to see status of others, even though they were not within the system, the system converted their power into something that could be similar to how Frank viewed things.
"Hello fellow friends, are you interested in having some picnic?" asked Frank.
"You got some pretty monster pets… Care to let me see them?" asked the pig-faced man.
"Huh? Sure. Ruby, go see the man." Said Frank.
"Okay!"
Ruby flew to the man\'s side at a speed he didn\'t even recognized…
"E-Eh? So fast…!" thought the pig-faced man.
Ruby eyed the monster pets he had, the eagle seemed scared by her presence alone, but he also had other two monster pets, a black spider of around the size of a dog, and there was also a second bird, resembling a canary with orange and red feathers.
"Ooh, they look cute…" she said.
"G-Get away from me!" cried Pigface, as he quickly ordered his monsters to attack the girl.
"Hm?!"
Ruby saw as the three monster pets quickly flew towards her, attacking her fearlessly! Against the orders of their masters, even against a being they knew they could die against, they were forced to fight!
"CRYYA!"
The eagle flapped its wings and unleashed a storm of winds towards Ruby!
"CRAA!"
The red and orange-feathered canary suddenly engulfed itself in flames and flew like a meteor towards Ruby!
"GRYSHA!"
And the black spider gathered venom on its jaws and unleashed a venom blast against her!
All three attacks at the same time! Any normal person would surely die from this!
"Hahah! Hope you survive this, weird kid- Eh?!"
Pigface quickly realized how wrong he was, Ruby suddenly exploded in flames, he thought she had been successfully attacked, only for her to emerge once more as… something else.
This was her true form, a giant, red-scaled dragon, glaring down at Pigface and his monster pets.
"W-What the…?! A monster pet…? Not a demi-human?!" asked Pigface.
The other lackeys were left shocked.
"Let\'s play!" Ruby said innocently, she waved her giant claws covering them in blazing flames, as she unleashed a storm of divine flames, rushing towards Pigface and the other three monsters!
BOOOOM!
A single swing of her claws was all it was needed to completely set them all ablaze!
"Gryyyayeeaaeaggh…!"
Pigface cried in agony as the other three monster pets he had died calcinated before he died, maybe because he was very greasy so he had a lot of fat to burn.
The other lackeys noticed the scene and felt completely and utterly terrified. They began to walk backwards slowly as they attempted to escape from the scene, but before they knew it, they were suddenly hitting an invisible wall behind them…
Alexander had already trapped them within his Domain!
Alexander\'s powers over space and time didn\'t come from skills that were suppressed by the world, but from his own Trait within his Infinite Origin, the same as his father.
This meant that… his powers, much like Frank\'s System, were not suppressed, and he could very much use his advanced powers over space and time even without monster pets!
"Papa do they go down?" asked Alexander.
"Hm… well, yeah, sure, I can just catch their souls later." Said Frank.
"Okey~" Alexander said, as the thugs were suddenly deleted out of existence one by one as space and time simply… disappeared where they were, their physical bodies felt as if they were compressed and destroyed!
Their agonizing cries couldn\'t even come out, as they died hopelessly…
