Chapter 255
Defense Specialization and Encounter
They went to the forest together on the following day as well . And while they were defeated by monsters more than a few times, they were eventually able to arrive in the part of the forest where they had spotted the bear cub .
“Th-this time…it took us a while . ”
“Yes . I think we need more practice . ”
Still, they felt that it wasn’t too bad, as they at least knew which part of the large forest to start looking in . Not having to walk aimlessly in the forest meant they could minimize the number of encounters, which meant accidents would be less likely .
“Ah! There!”
“Oh, good…”
The same bear cub they saw yesterday now appeared in front of them . Apparently, it really did depend on the time of day
And so they chased after it, hoping to catch it this time . Monsters attacked them on the way, but as they had gotten used to fighting them yesterday, they were able to take them down . Like this, they advanced smoothly through the forest, until the paw prints started to lead towards the mountains .
“We’ve gone pretty far, haven’t we?”
“Hmm… We’ve never gone so far before . ”
Both of them continued down the wild road while following the paw prints and floating stars .
After a while, they reached a small cave that was in the middle of the mountain .
“Let’s go in!”
“Yes…!”
They gripped their great hammers tightly and walked into the cave . The floating stars from the paw prints rose into the air and illuminated the ground and walls .
Gradually, the path into the cave widened, and the lights became stronger . And when they reached the back of the cave, they were greeted to the sight of a bear cub sleeping in a cradle of stars .
The place was like a small bedroom and was filled with blinding light .
“Agh!”
“Agh!”
The bear cub got up as if reacting to their voices . Then it looked at them . In the next instant, the lights in the room became brighter, and then gathered towards the bear .
In the brief instant that the two had closed their eyes due to the brightness, the bear cub had suddenly grown into a giant bear . And it roared in a low voice .
Stars were scattered over its body . They illuminated the tips of its ears and fur .
“It’s kind of like Syrup!?”
“‘Enlarge’…maybe… What should we do!”
They had thought they might be able to tame it if they caught up . But now there was a very strong-looking monster glaring at them .
They still didn’t have enough items either . As they stood there and wondered how they could make it join them, a blue panel appeared in front of them .
‘Show your power . ’
Beat the monster in battle in order to make it join you .
It was treated like a quest and showed them how they could tame the monster .
Upon seeing this, their expressions brightened . Show their power . That was the thing that they did best .
“Let’s go!”
“Yes! Though, I won’t be able to show restraint…”
“We’re sorry!”
“We’re sorry!”
In the next instant, a low thud echoed and could even be heard outside of the cave .
“I-is it alright?”
“I…I don’t know…”
In front of them was the bear that they had defeated in one hit . As they worried that they had used too much power, the walls and floor around them began to shine brightly again .
And then the bear got up heavily and slowly approached them . Then it rubbed its head against their legs and let out a small cry before turning into light .
“Uhhh…”
“Wh-what happened?”
When the light disappeared and they opened their eyes again, there was a single ring on the ground .
It looked just like the rings that Maple and Sally had .
“Yay!”
“Yay!”
They picked it up and smiled as they high-fived each other . That being said, this was only half of their goal . They needed to acquire two of these . And so their search for buddies had not ended yet .
“Alright! Let’s do it one more time!”
“Yes, we made it this far . It should be fine…we can do it!”
It was still hard to get to this point, but the actual fight had been easy . And so they were both eager to continue .
However, and this was something they would not even realize, the fight to acquire a rare monster was actually very difficult .
Yes, in other words, just like they always did, they had killed it in one shot before something could be activated .
