Shadow lets out a laugh. He finds a really great beast very suitable to be the partner of Arian.
"Arian, this mantis is the best partner for you; take it down and sign a contract with it."
Arian excitedly nodded and pulled her dagger, then leapt towards the mantis.
The mantis let out an angry screech and fled; it seems to feel that it cannot defeat Arian and Shadow.
Arian wouldn't let it escape, so she chased it after the mantis left Shadow.
"Return back to the city before night. I'll be waiting for you in front of the city gate." Shadow was left with no choice but to shout at Arian, then he left, waiting for the three of them to return to the city.
All of them returned, and Zak was the only one injured. His beast is not that strong; his beast was an Iron Fur Rat Variant; it was twice as big as its species.
Shadow then took them to the Mercenary Guild for mission completion.
Shadow saw that the 3 kids were very exhausted, especially Arian. She not only took 2 missions in different locations, but she also captured Sneaky, which was the name she chose for the Shadowslash Mantis.
After the guild gave their rewards, Shadow went to a house next to the Mercenary Guild. This house was bought by Shadow; it was two stories high and had plenty of space for the orphans and slaves.
Shadow then gave the Blazecrystal Scorpion to Blaire, then left. There were only two beastmasters from the orphans and slaves he took; they were Blaire and Zak Arian, who was not added to the list because Shadow had already made her one of his subordinates.
Half a year passed, and Shadow was in Eligan Town, checking the town stats, missions, and rewards.
