Samuel continued venturing deeper into the wilderness, hunting for monsters. And each and every time that a monster was successfully killed, the golden light within his body would immediately take action, absorbing the energy from the monster core.
All this time, Samuel did not use the cat that he had recently contracted in any battle. He still wanted to test out just how strong Thunder could be.
He had already tried out himself, and realized that even though he had contracted two beasts, that did not allow him to personally possess higher strength than that of a person in the nine star level.
Even though he was slightly stronger, it was impossible to just depend on this kind of strength in a battle and expect to win convincingly. Instead, it was due to his physique that was way beyond that of ordinary beast tamers that he was strong enough to be able to deal with monsters of the same level as himself with quite some ease.
