Chapter 15: Surrounded by High-level Beasts
[Ding! Detected a Wooden Bear, Low-level Diamond Rank Beast 2 km northwest ahead.]
[Ding! Detected a Water Hippopotamus, High-level Diamond Rank Beast 800 meters southwest ahead.]
[Ding! Detected a Fire Leopard, Mid-level Diamond Rank Beast 1 km south ahead.]
[Ding! Detected a Wind Mantis, Mid-level Diamond Rank Beast 1.3 km east ahead.]
…
When Cain looked at the notifications, his eyes lit up as he suddenly thought of an idea.
"Dante, you know what to do, right? Btw, don't kill the bear 2 km northwest from here and kill the rest." Cain ordered as he waved his hand.
"Yes, my lord." Dante responded with a bow before immediately disappearing from sight.
"System, integrate the wind manipulation, dark element attribute, and dark slash."
Cain instructed the system as he had told it to copy Dante's dark element attribute and his [Dark Slash] skill while ordering Dante just now.
Cain suddenly felt a surge of information rush into his mind, and he suddenly understood how to utilize the talent and skill that he just got.
He also felt an unknown energy entering his body and immediately checked his personal information, even though he knew that his stats wouldn't improve as he didn't feel that he had become stronger physically.
[Personal Information]
[Name: Cain Frostbane]
[Age: 18]
[Race: Human]
[Bloodline: 9-Tailed Heavenly Demon Fox]
[Attribute: Peak-level Dark Element, High-level Ice Element.]
[Beast Master Level: Platinum Rank Beast (Rank 5)]
[Contracted Beast: Ice Dragon (Platinum Rank Beast)]
[Talent: Wind Manipulation (SS Rank)]

[Energy]: 47,253
Looking at his personal information, Cain felt satisfied as he finally had a strong attack skill and became curious of how strong he was with his current stats and skills.
He then put the corpse into his inventory before sitting on Nix's back with Elara and heading towards the northwest.
After flying for around 1.5 km, they saw a big brown bear 8 meters tall, resembling that of a normal brown bear, except that its body was bigger and it had green line patterns across its body.
"To be honest, this bear looks pretty cool. Unfortunately, you're just seeking your own death by coming here." Cain sighed as he even had the thought of contracting it since it looks cool.
However, he can't do it at the moment as it would be such a hassle, and he wasn't even 100% sure that it wanted to be contracted by him.
Let alone the fact that he was eager to try his combat power too.
Even though he was one rank lower than the bear, he was pretty confident that he could kill it by himself if he went all out because he had the system that was unbelievably overpowered.
The reason why Cain thought so was because one of the system's functions was to let him restore his energy fully by paying with Evolution Points.
In other words, as long as he had enough Evolution Points, he had unlimited energy too since he could just recharge his energy repetitively.
"Roar!"
The bear roared as it noticed that there was an ice dragon and two people on its back hovering in the sky for a bit, as they looked like they had no intention to move while looking at itself.
Cain then came back to his senses and immediately checked on the bear's personal information.
[Race: Wooden Bear]
[Attribute: Mid-level Wood Element]
[Rank: Low-level Diamond Rank Beast (Rank 6)]
[Qualification: Diamond]
[Skills: Wooden Wall, Wooden spear, Wooden Claw]
[Strength]: 34,000
[Agility]: 35,000
[Health]: 40,000
[Sense]: 31,000
[Energy]: 30,000
Looking at the bear's information, he found nothing special except that it had higher stats compared to him, especially its health stat.
Cain then wanted to attack it using his strongest move immediately.
But, wait…
Cain realized that there was something wrong as he mumbled to himself.
"Hold on." Cain frowned, thinking hard about something before realizing that he didn't have any sword with him to use his [Dark Slash] skill.
He then informed Dante to come to him immediately after he was done with his job.
"Nix, keep going forward slowly." Cain petted Nix's body as he put his hand on his face, ashamed to himself that he forgot about the most important thing.
'Welp, it's not really my fault. I didn't think that I would fight in the first place since Dante is with me. That's why I am not meant to be prepared to go into any battle.' Cain shrugged as he found himself an excuse for his dumbness.
"Young Master, didn't you want to kill the bear?" Elara asked, as she was confused that Cain didn't attack it.
"Cough!"
"Cough!"
"Oh, I am going to kill it later. There's no need to rush." Cain coughed and waved his hand.
"Btw, Elara… Call me by my name from now on, okay?"
…
As they chatted for a bit while waiting for Dante's arrival, Cain kept hearing a few notifications from the system every minute for a few times.
"Finally done, huh?" Cain mumbled as he sensed Dante approaching his location and immediately scanned his surroundings to check it.
After checking his surroundings and finding that the only strong beasts above diamond rank now were only the bear, Cain then told the system to resend the notifications to him as he hadn't checked them previously.

Cain was extremely satisfied when he looked at his gain, which was the result of letting Dante kill a few of the Diamond Rank Beasts.
He couldn't help but have the thoughts of letting Dante kill a lot of higher ranked beasts but at the same time, he also didn't want to overdo it since Dante was a human like himself, not a robot who could work 24/7.
Let alone the fact that if he killed too many of higher ranked beasts in the mountains, it might lead to chaos in here and even spread to the outside mountains, which leads to the beast tides or even worse.
