"How did you even acquired a pet?" From the looks of it, it was definitely a pet. Did she use some sort of special item that let her have one?
Ren had never heard of any item like that, though. Besides, pets were exclusive for the Hunter and Animist class. There were exceptions, of course, like Pii, who was a special pet, to begin with.
Mages couldn't have pets, but some could have familiars or form pacts with beast. The difference was that, pets were companions, so they didn't require mana to cast, and they could even travel together with their owner. In comparison, a beast acquired through a pact would only appear upon being summoned, which required mana depending on the beast's tier.
"I didn't," Evie answered. "This thing is a Djinni. Apparently, a Blue Mage can become a Djinni Master in the end. Do you know about it?"
Ren was surprised when he heard the accusation in her voice. He was also genuinely surprised by hearing what she said.
Ren shrugged. "It's fine. Let's just say that I had a moment of . . . enlightenment."
"Huh?"
Ren then proceeded to explain to Evie why he let Guns and Knives take the last kill.
"I see. I kind of understand now. Though we didn't get the items and EXP, World Conqueror would indeed benefit from it in the long run."
"And we will still be compensated by the Gambino family," added Ren with a sly smile on his face.
"And besides . . . Jibblinplip isn't the only World Boss who appeared."
