Next morning, Ed and the rest left the pocket dimension . To make up for the Exp he didn't get from killing a floor boss, Ed had o put extra effort into hunting in this floor . Else, he could get thrashed by the floor boss . Luckily for him, Siegfried would be an excellent addition in battle .

"Let's go this way . " Ed chose their direction while checking the Map . Most monsters seemed to be lone ones, but some of them seemed to live in packs . Ed chose quantity over quality . Even if one strong monster gave him a lot of Exp it doesn't compare to a hundred weak ones . There was also the Gacha ticket drop rate .

"What the!" A couple of meters away from his destination, Ed was surprised by a tree log flying in his direction . Ed and his companions immediately rushed ahead . Their enemy was looking to kill them, so obviously they couldn't stay away from them . Even though the terrain was difficult, Ed maneuvered around it as if it was an asphalt ground . No trees or rocks impeded him in his rush . As all seven of them were rushing, tree, rocks, and all sorts of things were thrown at them . Ed even noticed something brown, but he didn't want to think about it .

"I should have known . " After reaching his enemies, Ed found out that they were Gorillas . Yet, Ed almost didn't recognize them . This group of Gorillas was huge . Huge was actually an understatement . The smallest one among them was bigger than Raikou . Their arms were muscular, explaining their ability to throw things at such a distance . But what surprised Ed the most was their eyesight . They were able to notice Ed's group from so far away .



"Please let me handle this . It'll be my first time fighting on your behalf . " Before Ed and the rest could charge at their enemies, Siegfried stopped them . He seemed as if he wanted to prove his worth . Although Ed made sure to remind Siegfried to act in a casual way with him, he didn't comply . He didn't call Ed master anymore, but he was still acting in a respectful way . Ed couldn't help but chuckle in his mind .

Siegfried 'floated' towards the group of Gorillas . Ed made sure to scan them beforehand, and found out that all of them were Earth Establishment level 9 . Killing all of them would certainly give Ed a good boost in his Exp . Currently, he was level 40(Earth Establishment level7) and needed a million Exp points to level up . This was the biggest jump in Exp he had ever encountered .

As Siegfried closed in on the Gorillas, they kept looking at him in a way that reminded Ed of a child and its new toy . Apparently, they couldn't tell the difference in power between them . Sieg stayed still in the midst of them . All of them seemed as if they were controlled by rage as they screamed and started attacking him . Some used their fists; some pulled up trees from their roots and hit him . More than ten of them attacked at once, yet not a single one managed to reach him . His barrier was restored along with his body after Ed turned him into a card .

"That esteemed person had to use his entire strength in order to break this barrier . You believe that, with your feeble abilities, you'll be able to do the same?" Sieg seemed to mock the Gorillas . 'That Esteemed person?' Ed couldn't help but question the way Sieg referred to him . First was master, now it was Esteemed person . He was afraid what new nicknames Sieg would be able to come up with .



"Lightning Bolt" Ed snapped out of his thought due to Sieg's voice . Several lightning bolts struck each one of the Gorillas . Thunder resounded in the jungle . "Ice Lance . " Not giving them any chance to recover, Sieg used a second technique and impaled every one of them . The battle was over just like that .

Acquired Gacha ticket .

Acquired...

A string of information flooded Ed . However, he was still happy . He got a good amount of Exp and even a Gacha ticket . He was close to having ten Gacha tickets, which meant that he would be drawing some more Gacha .

Ed continued to look for monster packs but was unable to find any that would satisfy him . 'Too bad' Ed thought to himself as he looked for a suitable spot . Almost half an hour later, Ed found an open ground suitable for camping and opened up a pocket dimension . Obviously, he was going to train since monsters weren't appearing . He explained to Sieg how they usually train and asked him to coach Suika and the others . He and Raikou did not need as much advice as the rest of them .

After setting up a gravity multiplier of fifteen times, all of them began their training . Ed was surprised to see that Sieg wasn't affected by the sudden change in gravity . The latter explained to him that Heavenly Establishment beings would be able to overcome gravity using their QI . That was how they were able to fly . However, the degree would change from an individual to another . Ed enjoyed himself while seeing Sieg try his best to give advice to the others . "You should focus more QI in that move . You shouldn't stop if your attack is dodged . You..."

After finishing the training, Ed wanted to ask Sieg something . "When we first started fighting, you acted like a villain . What was that about?" Ed noticed that Sieg's true personality was a lot different than what he first showed .

"Oh that . That's a simple game I started doing whenever I'm summoned . It is funny to see people's reactions when I release my aura . " Apparently, Sieg was a prankster .

"Oh yeah, I also want to try something . Stay still . " Ed went behind Sieg and put his hands on his back . He was going to try and get Sieg to learn Nen . Unfortunately, his experiment failed .

"No need to feel sorry, Sir Ed . I'll make sure to power-up without needing this ability . " Sieg comforted Ed after he explained to him what he was doing . Nen was the ability to change one's life energy to a special power . This meant that beings that are dead wouldn't be able to use it . Sieg was such a case . 'Sir Ed...' Ed couldn't help but notice such a thing .

"Well, you're plenty strong right now . I guess the best I can do is help you come up with new abilities . " The group took a bath together and slept . As Sieg didn't sleep, he kept looking at the 'sky' . For the first time since he knew life, a genuine smile was on his face .
