After seeing that Lothur was all right, that woman felt that she had fulfilled her purpose and left the area without leaving a trace of her presence there.
anwhile, that silver-haired young man ran to the side where the great toad and the other strongest beasts in that area were gathered.
"Oh? Why are you coming from the rock?" One of them asked while the others laughed, right after they had heard what the level 14 white fox had told them.
Lothur felt like a fool in front of these beasts and said. "It doesn't matter... I am here to thank you for the opportunity and to pay for what I received here."
"Pay? You don't have to worry about that." The big brown-haired monkey said, sensing that the woman from before might attack them if they demanded so kind of compensation. "Everything in the Immortals Well belongs to those who conquer it by their own efforts."
"We rely opened the door for you..." Another of them comnted in a low voice.
Then the great toad asked. "What about the demon? What happened to it? Did it escape from you?"
"If that happened, we'll have to get together as soon as possible to capture it..." The yellow crocodile murmured beside the lizard from earlier as the two looked impressed at Lothur.
They had told everything they had experienced inside the Immortals Well to these beasts. Because of this, they were standing there, waiting for Lothur.
But when the fox arrived before the silver-haired young man, they all found out that Lothur had finished the labyrinth and was about to leave.
So besides getting rid of paying the previous bet to that being next to it, that crocodile was curious to know what had happened and was worried about the demon.
Lothur then answered the giant toad, laughing in a humorless manner. "About that, hehe, I eventually found a way to kill it. Since I needed to beco stronger to get through the labyrinth, I absorbed that Soul Bone..."
"Oh?"
"Huh?"
"You killed it?" Several of those beasts were surprised to hear that since they knew that Lothur should not have been able to do that days ago, or he would not have allowed that creature to live for so long.
That toad was slightly surprised by this, but it did not feel so bad about this 'loss' since the senior from earlier had already made it give up on having good gains with that demon.
'It looks like I'll co out losing on this one...' It pondered until Lothur pulled sothing out of his spatial ring that caught the attention of everyone there.
"Senior, since I promised it would be yours after fulfilling your promises, I will return sothing of value to you to make up for the lost value." He showed the item in his hands to these beasts. "That is a Dragon's Tooth, sothing that can help you raise your strength quite a bit."
"What?"
"What is it?"
"Dragon's Tooth?"
"How powerful!"
All the beasts there realized the rich energy of that item and widened their eyes as they approached Lothur.
The most impressed one was naturally the level 17 toad, to whom Lothur gave that item.
Gulp!
"Are you serious, kid? I won't give it back if you go through with it!" It roared while almost drooling in front of Lothur.
"Hey, hold on. Let's talk about this..." One of those level 17 beasts shouted, stopping Lothur from speaking. "That thing is too much for just one of us. I believe we can split it, right?"
"Yes, I think so too." The great monkey said. "That is too much power for just one. Let's split it."
The toad found itself surrounded by eyes interested in its tooth and glared at those beings. "How are you all so shaless? Weren't you just saying now that you don't need rewards? What's that now?"
"Nothing. You know we were talking in relation to that young man. Not you!" The snake atop that rock earlier got there after feeling a powerful spiritual fluctuation from Lothur's hands.
Lothur bitterly smiled as he saw the situation developing and said. "Well, I can't use that, so I'll leave it to you. But since the senior was responsible for bringing here, you guys should at least let it absorb these powers in the first place."
"It's not like it's going to absorb all this power at once and beco able to take on everyone here..." He said, trying to help that toad so that this being would not face a war over that tooth.
His idea was to give it only to the toad. Still, seeing that these beasts were already coveting that tooth, Lothur suggested sothing to try to keep the beasts in harmony.
That item was too powerful to be absorbed in a short period by a single being, so splitting it up was not such a bad idea.
Considering this, that creature had to give up achieving dreams it had not even thought it would have the chance to achieve and accepted Lothur's proposal.
"If you go along with what he suggested, I won't fight." The grating toad comnted while the other beings thought that this was better.
Everyone there would love to have the chance to absorb that on their own. But whoever had possession of the bone would eventually end up attracting the interest of the others.
At the sa ti, they already knew each other well enough and were not the only powerful beings in the area!
So it was better to share among themselves rather than risk self-destruction or attract attention from other powerful beings in the Three Great Lakes Region.
They agreed among themselves, and as soon as Lothur handed that item to the great toad, most of those level 17 beasts left, running towards a place where they intended to hide with it.
Only one level 17 beast stayed behind to say goodbye to Lothur, for it was the weakest of these beings and had been left responsible for it.
"You were very kind with your offer, human. That makes up for anything." This creature said aloud, extrely pleased but also in a hurry to get his chance to absorb so of that as soon as possible.
"What do you intend to do now?"
"I'm going to leave. There's nothing left in this place for , and I've got enough to try to make my journey." He comnted before looking in the direction from which the giant toad had departed.
'That fellow... It had promised to guide through the rest of the area, but now...' Lothur shook his head as he noticed that he was alone in this return of his.
But then, the fox beside the beings left behind stood up and barked at him a few tis.
"Au! Au!"
"Hmm? What does it want?" He asked the Transcendent beasts in front of him.
"It asked if you don't want it to help you to return to your city." The level 16 crocodile said to Lothur. "It may not be as strong as you, but it can outrun humans of a higher level than yours."
"Oh? It wants that?" Lothur was surprised and smiled since that would not be a bad thing.
