Clamors resounded in the distance after the Steeled Boar died, and some of the hybrids roared at the fake sky to join Noah's cry. They wanted to celebrate his victory and announce to the world that he had succeeded in a feat that everyone thought to be impossible.
Noah's pride reacted to those roars. He felt instincts buried deep inside him awakening and resurfacing over his mental sea when he heard those hybrids acclaiming him in a language that humans couldn't understand.
His species had surpassed the hybrids, but the instincts that came from the magical beasts' world were still inside him. Noah could create a pack if he wanted. Part of his audience already considered him as a leader worth following.
Still, his greed soon overcame that feeling. He had completed one of the hardest trials in the second layer, and he couldn't wait to see what reward Supreme Thief had prepared for him.
