Signal Flare

Upon hearing the command of his "master", Juan immediately made a move as he got up from the ground. As if afraid that he might incur the wrath of his master, he took a step forward right away, intending to look for his target.

In any case, Juan, at that moment, had his eyes change color. From light brown, similar to Vi, those eyes became so black that it appeared like darkness itself was within. But they also lost their emotions as if those eyes were just staring blankly in the midair.

Even so, although Juan didn't move swiftly and he was just walking since his target was still nowhere in sight, it was evident as well from the aura he exuded that the moment he found his target, he would be like a hungry fierce beast that had found its prey.

But when Vi thought that his puppet would go and travel far, he suddenly halted his steps after reaching about 10 meters away from him. Vi frowned slightly upon seeing the sudden event. He could see that this puppet couldn't go on any longer.

Thinking about what problem it might be that made this puppet stop, he suddenly felt that the strand of hair that he put on Juan to control him had reached the limit of how long it could be stretched. Upon realizing the matter, he immediately figured out where the problem lied.

"It seems like my hair can only stretch about ten meters. What a pity," Vi came to a conclusion as he felt a slight regret. It seemed like compared to the real master of that hair ability of which she could stretch her hair in the entire tutorial ground, his capability didn't worth a mention.

"Don't tell me..." But at that moment, Vi suddenly realized something. If, with limited capability when using the abilities of those slimes, he could already display an astonishing power, could it be that the real masters of those abilities could display a much more astonishing power?

If so, then could it be as well that, from the very beginning, those damned slimes didn't show him their everything and only play with him even when they died? Damn! Vi couldn't help but click his tongue and grit his teeth when such a realization dawned upon him. Certainly, those damned slimes only went easy on him previously when he killed them. If those five gave their all, then probably, the same thing wouldn't have happened. Chances were, he would still die even after he learned how to use the world's mana.

"Tsk! Come back, slave number 1," As Vi got tired of looking at the disparity of power between him and those slimes, he decided to stop comparing himself with them. As such, he just summoned Juan, his puppet, and intended to walk around with him instead.

Since this guy had used the Signal Flare before, then it was certain that his friends would come and catch up to him anytime soon. Since that was the case, he should just loiter around and wait for their arrival. These guys tried to mess with him? Vi would definitely not go easy on them! He might as well use them as his practice partners.

After all, he only had knowledge of his five abilities. He had little to no experience with them at all. Thus, it would be better if he could use these abilities in real combat so as to hone them and become much stronger.

And the opportunity presented itself to him. Vi would definitely not let this slip by. Since these people tried so hard to mess with him, he should at least play along and mess with them, right?

Having thought about it, Vi walked leisurely around. Behind him, Juan was following like a zombie. It even seemed like Vi was walking around, bringing a chained dog with him.

Boom!

A moment ago, when the Signal Flare shot up into the sky...

"A Signal Flare?" Diana suddenly frowned when she saw a Signal Flare in the sky. She immediately shifted her gaze at the person beside her as she asked, "What is that, Dave? Isn't it the direction where the Slime's Lair is?"

"..." Dave thought for a moment as he stared at the fireworks above. But after thinking about it, he soon replied blatantly, "It seems like some reckless fool is making trouble for us, young miss."

"Ugh... Hurry up and stop them! I don't want my experience points to go in vain." Diana responded coldly, her tone of voice was rather filled with frustration.

"Right away, young miss," Dave replied respectfully, bowing his head slightly for a moment. After that, he lifted his head straight as he commanded authoritatively, "You all heard that?! Hurry and clean up this mess before young miss arrives at the dungeon!"

"Understood!" Other than Dave and Dianna, all the other people clad in silver armor behind them immediately rushed forward with the white stallion they were riding on. None of whom dared to slack off, afraid to suffer the consequences.

Currently, inside the Slime's Lair dungeon...

"You... What are you doing here all of a sudden?!" A fearful and stuttered voice sounded.

Right now, other than Vi and Juan, there were five more people in that place. Obviously, they were the five other men whom Vi had met previously. They were the companions of Juan, who had been beaten up by Vi altogether. All the six of them, including Juan, surrounded Vi. And from the looks of it, all the other five men didn't know that Juan was currently under control.

Meanwhile, seeing the sudden arrival of five people from different directions, Vi remained calm, composed, and collected. He even had the leisure to yawn before these guys.

"Why can't I be here? Isn't this place a free dungeon for whoever finds it?" Vi replied lazily.

"T-that... We found this place first, so naturally, this dungeon belongs to us! How come you don't know such a simple rule? Or don't tell me, you are here just to cause trouble?! If so, then I would suggest that you stop right away. That is if you don't want to make enemies with us, Red Sun guild!" Santiago, one of the two spear-bearers, roared furiously when they saw the brat who had beaten them up early this morning. He found it hard to control his raging emotion as it appeared that he was itching to eat this brat already.
