章 306: Protobear

"Those terms..." the monster spoke, only to cut its sentence short. 

To say it hesitated would be a blasphemy against its power and status born out of it. Yet, even if I didn't call it a hesitation, the monster still took its sweet time to form a proper reply. 

"I accept them," it said, finally removing the threatening part of its aura. 

"Aaah..." I released a euphoric sigh as I fell to my knees. 

"Arthur!" Mia shouted, rushing to catch me before I could fall face-first to the ground. 

"It's okay..." I muttered, using all the techniques I learned in my stay in this world to end up resting my head on top of Mia's lap. "Just let me rest for a little, could you?"

Now that the pressure part of the monster's aura was gone, I could finally take a proper breath and allow my body to relax.

"What are you doing?" the monster asked, the threatening tune returning to its voice.
