The forest was alive with chaos. Students scrambled across the undergrowth, many struggling against their first Abyssals.

“Scree!” A goblin swung its club with all its strength, striking the creature’s head. The Abyssal toppled to the ground.

“Yes!” the goblin’s Tamer cheered, pumping a fist in victory. It seemed like a perfect strike—until the tentacle-like limbs of the Abyssal whipped out, catching the goblin mid-air. As the creature rose, it delivered a brutal punch to the goblin’s stomac

    The Abyssals showed no sign of fear.There were only twelve orbiting bullets.As far as they were concerned, if enough of them charged together, some would eventually reach Rhys.The front ranks immediately adjusted their pace.Instead of rushing in one after another, they slowed down so the entire group could attack at the same time.Rhys noticed the change immediately.A faint smile appeared on his face.The orbit of the twelve bullets suddenly widened.The Abyssals in front immediately realized what was happening and tried to retreat.It was already too late.The Abyssals behind them continued charging without slowing down, crashing into their own allies and forcing the entire front line forward.The expanding ring of bullets swept straight through them.Several Common Class Abyssals died before they could even react.“Reee!”One of the Common Class Abyssals suddenly climbed onto another monster’s shoulders.Using its companion as a stepping stone, it launched itself high into the

    Meave turned toward Rhys just as Anubis closed his eyes and focused on the surrounding area.“They’re coming,” Anubis said.His expression grew more serious by the second.“I can sense them approaching from three different directions.”He paused briefly before adding,“It almost feels like they’re trying to force us to run.”“If we retreat…”“They’ll probably funnel us toward the only path they’ve intentionally left open.”Rhys immediately understood what he meant.“Can you tell how many there are?”Before Anubis could answer, Rhys summoned Gealion.The giant wolf sniffed the air and frowned.“I’m not completely sure,” Anubis admitted.“There are simply too many presences.”“But…”“There can’t be fewer than three hundred.”“I’m afraid the real number is even higher.”Gealion narrowed his eyes.“No.”“It’s closer to five hundred.”“I can also sense several large presences mixed in.”“They’re coming from the mountain steps.”Rhys’ expression darkened.“Do you think they’re simply passin

    Rhys stared at the latest contract before letting out a quiet sigh.“…Hmm.”The agreement dissolved once again without any effect.He frowned.“So it still doesn’t work.”Tayla looked at him nervously.“Does that mean it’s impossible?”Rhys slowly shook his head.“No.”“I don’t think it’s impossible.”He folded his arms as he organized his thoughts.“It only means one of two things.”“Either I still haven’t found the correct wording for the agreement…”“Or…”“The Soul Contract simply isn’t at a high enough level yet.”He remained silent for a few more seconds before nodding to himself.“I don’t want to keep Meave waiting any longer.”“We’ll postpone this.”“When we have more free time…”“We’ll continue experimenting.”Tayla gave a respectful nod.“I understand.”“Thank you very much.”Rhys smiled.“You can thank me after we actually succeed.”With that, he turned around.“Come on.”“Let’s head back.”The two of them returned to the cave.They had apparently spent longer talking than R

    Rhys smiled mysteriously.“If someone gave you a chance to reach a much higher level…”“What would you do?”Tayla looked at him, completely puzzled.“What do you mean?”“I mean exactly what I said.”Rhys’ expression gradually became serious.“I might have found a way to improve your Quality.”He quickly raised a hand before she could react.“But…”“I’ve never tried it before.”“The theory itself is still a stretch.”“So I honestly don’t know whether it’ll work.”He looked directly into her eyes.“It has nothing to do with evolution.”“It’s an entirely different approach.”“But if I’m right…”“It could raise your potential.”Tayla froze.“I…”“I can become stronger?”Her voice carried obvious disbelief.More than anyone…She understood her own limits.She knew her talent wasn’t exceptional.Meave had already promised to help her evolve one day if the opportunity appeared.That alone had made Tayla incredibly grateful.Even so…She had long accepted that she would never keep pace with R

    “Wait here for a minute.”“There’s something I want to check.”Meave looked at Rhys in confusion.“Sure.”She couldn’t understand why he looked so hurried.She had already scanned the surrounding area several times.There wasn’t a single powerful Abyssal nearby.As far as she could tell, there was no immediate danger.Meanwhile, Rhys’ thoughts raced at incredible speed.That’s right…Can I create a special ability that lets me see a Familiar’s status?That should count as a special ability… shouldn’t it?If it does…Can I form a contract for it?He began muttering under his breath.“The first party will obviously be my eyes…”He frowned.“But who should the second party be?”“The elements?”He immediately shook his head.“No.”“The world itself.”“If I’m trying to read the world’s records…”“Then the contract should be made with the world.”He continued organizing his thoughts.“Every Familiar and every status should already exist somewhere within the world’s records.”“This isn’t a c

    Rhys and Meave advanced through the killing zone without anything slowing them down.Wave after wave of Abyssals charged at them.None lasted very long.Their Familiars dominated the battlefield, keeping the enemies occupied and creating enough space for the two of them to focus on refining their new techniques.Neither Rhys nor Meave wanted to rely entirely on overwhelming strength.This expedition was also a chance to grow.Even with the gap in power…Fighting twenty Common Class Abyssals at the same time was still troublesome.The moment they concentrated on one group…The others immediately rushed in from different directions.Against Elite Class Abyssals, the situation would only become more complicated.And according to the reports…The Mutant wouldn’t be alone.It would almost certainly be accompanied by several Elite Class Abyssals.Fortunately…Their progress far exceeded expectations.By the end of the first day alone…Rhys had already killed more than seven hundred Abyssals
