Between The Worlds

The young bear!

Sitting on the bed, if one saw him from afar one would think he is plush toy. Laying on the wall lifelessly, the young bear didn't move at all. However, the eyes of his were shining with sorrow light...

Of course, he is sad! The young bear's pride had been shattered in the dungeon as one attack was enough to take him down... Although he knew he isn't the strongest, the young bear was sure of one thing.

'I am strong, at least stronger than Raphel!'

But such thoughts also had been shattered as the young bear saw by himself how strong Raphel is... The claw of his, as if demon threw or destroyed the heads of disgusting humans! The young bear felt like it's a joke, but Raphel's attitude towards him just confirmed everything...

The snakeman began treating the young bear as if kid! Before the dungeon mission, the young bear easily could see an equality between them, but now? It was as if he was pet! The young bear couldn't help but glance at Raphel...

'Idiot.'

The snakeman truly looked like idiot. He had before himself ten bottles and each bottle had one of his fingers inside exuding the purple venom... Raphel also lowered his head a little and directly began releasing venom from his mouth...

Inwardly, he was thinking as to how cheer up his partner. He had treated him nicely completely oblivious that it had opposite effect. All his pats or cuddles had only given more despair than Raphel could ever think off...

"The young bear! You have saved me! Futhermore, you have survived one attack from dangerous human! Thus, not only your mind is strong, but body as well! With strong ambitions, you are definitely going to reach high heights!"

GROWL! You have survived one attack and killed the rest while I only could rest with medicine! Shut up! And don't treat me like kid! GROWL!~~

The young bear roared! Then, he hid his little head into pillows and began crying loudly... thinking that pillows are enough to cover those tears...

"The young bear..."

After his partner had saved him, Raphel was of course keen to raise the strength of the young bear. However, he didn't know how... He himself can eat the stones, but what about young bear? Whenever Raphel touches the stone or cores from dungeon monster, the message appears immediately and melts those stones...

'Can he eat those melted stones?'

[He can't. If you want to make him stronger, then get some beast tamers techniques and began awakening his bloodline slowly.]

The energy core sent him message! It rarely happens after Raphel had decided to get stronger.

'How do I awaken his bloodline?'

Raphel asked, but no matter how much time had passed, the answer didn't come out... But it was already good to have some plan, thus, Raphel thanked inwardly and stood up.

"The young bear! It's time to get stronger."

And took the saddened bear into his arms. Since Raphel was too strong for the young bear, he didn't say anything and let him do whatever he wants! Thus, like that, the duo went to buy some beast tamer's techniques.

After the dungeon mission, Raphel, of course got his share of money~~ Also, he had saved his companions so he had some bonus as well!

Going to the 'shop' in the Imblazire Guild guild, the sight of Raphel and the young bear in his arms made the other guild members to laugh at him! After all, Raphel is 17 years old, thus, he should have at least a bit 'bigger' partner next to him...

The young beasts like the young bear are usually seen together with little kids that aim to be perfect beast tamers. And now, such kid was blocking Raphel and the young bear!

Little girl! She had nice pink dress and small bag! Her long red hair was tied into twin tails looking cute indeed!

"Fight me!"

She squealed. Members of the guild that were passing by stopped and chuckled knowing the identity of this little girl. However, Raphel wasn't that knowledgable... He titled his head to the side and patted the little girl...

"I am too big for little girl like you. Go and fight with your friends, okay?"

His voice was as nice as he could squeeze out from himself! But such nice words didn't work on the little girl! She summoned her partner, the little cat and pointed at the young bear!

"But he is little, so they can fight!"

Smart lass! The girl nodded to herself while the young bear eyes burned with d.e.s.i.r.e to fight. Finally the chance to vent out his emotions appeared! Leaving the embrace of his 'master' the young bear pounced at the little cat immediately!

The red cat, however, nimbly dodged his attacks! And kept dodging those deadly paws of the young bear clearly with intention to tire him off!

Raphel who saw that knew that it won't work on his young bear as he himself has experienced his good stamina! He squated next to the little girl and asked her nicely...

"Do you know me? Why did you challenge me?"

"Hmpf! Big sister said if I beat you, then she will take me to dungeon!"
