The egg started cracking slowly before finally, it broke, and a cute tiger head ca out with a pair of big deep blue eyes.
*Creaaaa…*
The Tiger had moonlight silver fur with black and dreamy dark blue stripes on its entire body. It broke the entire egg after letting out a cute cry from its mouth.
Despite just coming out of an egg, this Tiger was one and a half ters tall and two ters long.
After the Tiger completely ca out of the egg, the egg turned into motes and entered its body.
*Grhaw…*
The Tiger sensed a blood connection and turned to Arkhen before looking at him with pure sparkling eyes filled with innocence.
After all, Arkhen had been feeding 1 liter of his blood to this Tiger every day since he got its egg.
There was already a deep bond between master and pet, making it unnecessary to form a contract.
Arkhen smiled and rubbed its head while the Tiger rubbed its body against Arkhen's legs to show affection. A second later, the Tiger's body started trembling a bit before it roared.
"Rrr… Rarrr… Rawr!!*
It released its first true roar before majestic silver wings protrude out from both sides of its back! The total wingspan of the Tiger was five ters long.
The majestic silver feathered wings had beautiful golden and dark blue feathers as well, much like its fur, making its wings look very beautiful with elegant designs, but still majestic.
"Brother Arkhen, it's already a 2nd-grade beast despite just coming out of the egg," ya said with a grin. "Also, what are you going to na this beauty?"
'Since this is a female tiger, then I'll na her… Blancia.'
"Blancia. Her na will be Blancia," Arkhen said with a grin as he saw Blancia coming towards him and rubbed its head at his legs. Arkhen also patted Blancia's head.

*Rawrr~*
"You want to eat?" Arkhen received thoughts from Blancia and nodded with a smile. "Alright, it's ti to continue our hunt!"
…
In the next several hours, Arkhen, ya, and the shadow guards road the mountain ranges while collecting the natural resources that the map displayed. Arkhen was going to bring them to an Alchemist workshop and see if he could get so useful potions or pills from them.
Arkhen and ya killed a lot of dire beasts. Both of them improved their combat ability and gathered resources while the shadow guards quietly did their job of protecting them.
When it was roughly 5 PM in the evening, Arkhen and ya had collected all resource treasures on the mountain range indicated on the map.
"Let's return now. We've had enough for today," Arkhen said as he ca out of a deep cave.
"Carry ~ I am tired," ya said with a tired expression as she followed Arkhen out of the cave. The shadow guards were right behind her.
Ruan the wolf was in miniature form and sat on Arkhen's shoulder with its eyes closed and resting.
Seeing that Arkhen didn't respond to her, ya pouted and jumped behind Arkhen's back like a monkey and wrapped her arms around his neck.
The shadow guards glanced at each other but didn't say anything.
"Ruan, let's go," Arkhen said as he ignored ya at first. But after Ruan beca bigger, he said to her, "Lay on Ruan's back if you are tired."
"No, I will stay like this!" ya said with a giggle as her head rested on Arkhen's left shoulder. Her arms were wrapped around Arkhen's neck while her legs held his waist. Nearing Arkhen's ears, she lightly blew and whispered after blocking her voice to not leave paraters around her, "hehe, your sll is so good, you know?"
Arkhen rolled his eyes but didn't say anything. After jumping onto Ruan, he commanded it to move back to the capital.
The Tigress, Blancia, had already eaten too full and was resting in the castle inside Mystic Wonderland.
'Velshi, I guess I am ready to take on a Guardian Boss,' Arkhen said while riding on the wolf. 'Ruan, use your first skill, Wind Runner, to increase speed.'
*Awoo000o~!!*
The shadow guards who were following were startled to see the wolf suddenly increasing its speed. Naturally, they still managed to follow them by increasing their speed via so ans.
[Yes, my lord. You should be able to kill the guardian boss of Taywit Forest].
'Aweso. It will unlock skill-related lab, right?'
[Yep].
…
While Arkhen was moving, Blancia was curiously looking at Lucius who was sleeping on the bed. Arkhen had actually sent them to the bathroom floor because it was green and also had water.
Azela was on the 11th floor, but she didn't know about the pair of tigers here.
After sensing Blancia's presence, Lucius opened its eyes and stood up.
"Rawrr… " Lucius sounded excited despite the weakness he was feeling. The big tiger could also change his size to a small extent. Not like Tasich Wolf but it beca the sa size as Blancia and approached her before ekly roaring again.
Blancia could feel so sort of connection with Lucius because Lucius gave her his blood essence, causing mutation in Blancia birth. That was the reason why Blancia had a legendary-rank bloodline.
"Roar~" Blancia curiously stretched her paws and lightly hit Lucius.
"Rawr~ Rawr~…" Lucius smiled and rolled on the ground in a playful way.
Blancia was startled to see Lucius suddenly rolling and got confused as if thinking… 'What is this big cat doing? Maybe he is showing off?'
"Roar~" Blancia roared and unfurled her wings before flying, a hint of playful and prideful expression in her eyes as she flew in the air around Lucius.
"Rawr~!" Lucius used the energy and power of the wind to create a wind whirl around it and also flew up with much expertise and control.
"Roar?!" Blancia was startled.
"Roar!" Lucius roared as a grinning expression appeared on its mouth.
Both of them started playing and talking with each other in their language.
...
*Boom…*
Blancia released a whirling orb of ice and lightning, destroying a hot spring before laughing beastly while roaring.
"Roar~!" Lucius was helpless. He was telling her to not do it anymore, but Blancia released another attack on him. Naturally, Lucius dodged.
"Rawrrr!!" Blancia roared as if saying that it was now Lucius's turn to attack her.
It was like a ga of tag where they used minimum power in their attack on each other and dodged.
"Roarr!" Lucian went to the ground and slept, telling Blancia that he needed to take a rest because he gave his blood essence to her.
Blancia also roared and nodded before sleeping beside him.
In just several minutes, the third floor had beco a ss…
…
Outside, Arkhen and ya had crossed 30 miles. They long passed the small town and were on their way to the capital with shadow guards following them.
However…
In that one location where the path goes through a small forest, shit hit the fan!
*Swoosh…*
Several gleaming daggers with shining borders flew shot toward Arkhen and ya, who were on the wolf. Their speed was super fast, and the aim was precise, as if it was long-calculated!
"Watch out!" the lead shadow guards shouted, but at the sa ti, she managed to quickly cast a barrier around the Tasich Wolf, covering Arkhen, ya, and the wolf inside.
This ambush seed too much pre-planned! How? How co they were ambushed despite leaving quietly and incognito?!!
