บท 15: Returning, Where Do I Return?
บรรณาธิการ: Atlas Studios
Bell only moved his body slightly and realized that his agility was far beyond what he had previously!
However, there was no smile on his face at this moment. He was still gloomy and his brows did not relax at all.
Bell knew very well that even if the effect of this ring was powerful, it was still too weak to compete with that level 40 monster, and he needed true strength to do so.
The only way out was the potion!
But now, the Beast Blood Seals in his system had been exhausted. He couldn't even gather enough for one more draw…
Bell sighed deeply. It seemed that luck was not on his side…
But even if he didn't have the help of the potion, he still had to find Shana.
He had to see her, dead or alive.
Although Bell was very clear that if he was given more time to grow, he would definitely avenge Shana.
However, there were always some things in the world that one would regret if one did not do it now.
Some favors are meant to be repaid.
They were just like old friends who would meet again.
The red eyes under the snow-white hair slowly appeared in his mind.
It was the scene of Bell's first meeting with Teacher Shana.
As a newcomer to the different world, Bell had nothing but a clean face and hadn't eaten anything for three days. At one point, he had a hallucination that he saw his great-grandmother from his previous life waving at him…
Just as he was collapsing from hunger on the side of the road, Teacher Shana reached out to help him when he needed it most!
Shana's help must have been indispensable in his admission to Third High School as a cafeteria worker.
These favors kept accumulating, enough to make Bell remember them forever.
However, the red eyes that were unchanged by the outside world remained the imprint that always appeared in Bell's mind.
She didn't look down on him because of his status, nor did she despise him because of his strength.
In conclusion…
If Shana had any mishap, Bell would seek revenge even if it meant risking his life!
This was Bell's usual style, especially after crossing over to this other world, it became even more apparent.
Whether it was the level 40 giant spider or the snobbish secret realm supervisor of the Beast Tamer Alliance,
Bell would remember every single debt and would surely repay it with interest!
Bell took a deep breath. Since he had made up his mind, he no longer hesitated. He opened his legs and headed straight for the depths of the secret realm!
At this moment, the system prompt unexpectedly sounded in his ear!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing ten consecutive draws! You have received a novice event reward, a diamond item exchange voucher!]
"…System, I suspect you did it on purpose!" Bell looked at the system prompt speechlessly. It could have notified him earlier, but it had to let him waste his emotions for nothing…
He seriously suspected that the system was doing this on purpose.
It seemed that even if he had to risk his life, he would still fight against that huge spider above his level. Even the system was probably shocked by his reckless operation…
…
Deep in the secret realm.
There were no longer any traces of the swamp here. A thick layer of white spider silk had already spread all around.
Right in the middle of the battlefield, white scales mixed with fresh red blood could be seen scattered randomly.
The level 40 lord spider kept turning its dense compound eyes on its head, searching for the traces of Shana and the large white python.
Apart from the severed limb that was interrupted by chaos magic, it was sensing the movements on the spider web with the sensory organs on its remaining seven legs at all times.
It had patience and knew that hunting required patience from years of hunting experience.
Moreover, the white python that posed a threat to it had already been poisoned by its mouthparts, so it was just a matter of time before it died.
With the victory in its grasp, all it had to do now was wait patiently for the human beast tamer to fall into its trap.
At that time, the substance contained in the white python's body, the substance that continuously aroused its most primitive desires in its bloodline, would surely belong to it!
Maybe it could trigger its bloodline awakening once again!
To its surprise, Shana's hiding place was in the treetop not far above its head!
Shana's face turned pale as she watched the large spider pacing back and forth beneath her feet, knowing she was in dire straits.
Her only hope was Baiji, who was being slowly weakened by the venom from the spider's mouth during their previous battle.
Shana dared not let Baiji maintain its physical form any longer, though it could delay the venom's erosion of Baiji's vitality within the Beast Taming Space.
However, without help, it was only a matter of time before the venom completely overtook Baiji.
As Shana watched the spider webs spreading toward her location, it was only a matter of time before her hiding place was exposed.
"Let's see… Bell should have already left the secret realm by now."
Shana thought about how confident she had been when she brought Bell into the secret realm, and now she was in such a perilous situation. She couldn't help feeling defeated, but at the same time she hoped this unexpected event wouldn't leave a psychological scar on Bell, who was entering the secret realm for the first time…
In fact, Shana knew very well that the beast tamers stationed outside the secret realm could not possibly subdue a level 40 lord-rank monster.
Especially within the secret realm, the strength of various bosses had been enhanced to varying degrees, making it even more impossible for the beast tamers to win.
So…
Even if Bell made contact with the outside world, she would not receive help.
Moreover, the alliance supervisor would never risk the possibility of total annihilation just to save her.
Everything she had said to Bell was just to make the silly boy leave the secret realm willingly.
As someone who usually interacted with him, she knew his character better than anyone else.
Once Bell had made up his mind, even nine oxen couldn't pull him back.
"That silly boy once helped me make dinner for three years just because of a bread… but that dish he made… what was it called… red-braised pork… it was really delicious…"
Until now, Shana's face showed a mournful expression. Her crimson eyes were filled with tears as she whispered, "I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to taste it again…"
With that, Shana opened her waist pocket and took out a silver-white ring, which was an item that could enhance the link between beast tamers and their exclusive beasts. It was quite expensive, costing three months' worth of Shana's salary.
She hadn't appeared at the secret realm entrance by chance that day. She had originally planned to give this equipment to Bell as a gift for completing his Beast Tamer Awakening Ceremony.
At the moment Bell looked back one last time, Shana wanted to present him with this long-prepared gift.
But Shana realized that she couldn't be too selfish.
Since she had already made up her mind to die, she didn't want to leave any regrets for that silly boy…
The next second… the branches and leaves around him trembled, and there was the sound of creatures flitting around.
Shana's red eyes flashed with determination. The exotic beast under her feet had already sensed her location!
