Hunting again

Urlgan's roar was filled with pain and anger. Blood flowed from his ears, nose, and mouth; however, the magical symbols did not stop as they continued to cover his entire body.

After a while, Isabell frowned and let go of her hand, her eyes filled with disbelief: "This monster…"

"Captain, is there a problem?" Akai and Aki spoke up, looking towards Isabell.

Isabell touched her purple lips with her finger, then showed a crazy smile: "Interesting; this is the first time I've seen someone who can resist my enslavement magic."

"What?" Akai was startled and hurriedly asked, "Captain, are you joking? This is just a high orc; how could it possibly resist that kind of magic?"

Isabell did not reply but instead smiled with joy and excitement: "It seems… that kid is truly a huge mystery."

"Aww! I really want to see what he can do."

After Isabell finished speaking, she took out a small black scroll from her pocket and then placed it on Urlgan's chest.

The scroll immediately turned into countless particles of light upon contact with Urlgan. Those particles of light did not disappear. On the contrary, they were like tiny snakes, creeping into Urlgan's body.

A moment later, all the light particles disappeared. Isabell smiled and said: "Bring this monster back to that kid."

"Heh?! Captain, why do we have to do that?"

"Hm?!" Hearing Aki and Akai say that, Isabell tilted her head; the cold killing intent radiating from it made them shiver.

Although they didn't know what Isabell's purpose was, they didn't want to die either, so they hurriedly brought Urlgan back to the vicinity of Noan's territory.

…

At this moment, after hearing Urlgug recount the story of Urlgan's capture, he felt a little confused.

"Master…" Vylyss said worriedly: "I suspect that woman…"

Noan nodded slightly: "I think so too. She is the only one who knows our position clearly and how unique Urlgan and Urlgug's power is."

"However, we are in the light, the enemy is in the dark. We cannot see the enemy, but they see us."

"I don't know what action to take, and our position is not too safe."

Urlgug and Vylyss fell silent upon hearing this.

Noan sighed; although he possessed SSS rank talent, the path he took was not smooth.

If he could move to a safe area like the other lords, he would probably develop much faster.

He also couldn't ask the Federation to move him to a safe area.

It must be known that he has already completed the territory installation, and moving the territory from one area to another costs a lot of resources.

In everyone's eyes, he was just an F-rank lord; surely no one would want to spend a lot of resources to help him.

Noan was also worried that if people found out that his talent was SSS rank, he would face fatal danger.

You must know that in this world there are only 6 people who possess SS rank talent.

In the documents or even in people's minds, no one ever thought that there would be an SSS rank talent.

This life is very cruel; you are a genius, but if you can't grow up, then you are just a stepping stone for others.

At the very least… Noan wanted to wait until he was promoted to Lord level 7 or higher; then he would have enough ability to defend himself.

At that time, even if the Federal Government or the Empire discovered that his talent was SSS rank, he wouldn't worry.

"Master…" Urlgug said worriedly: "Sorry… master, because I was too weak, Urlgan was captured."

Noan heard Urlgug speak, rubbed his chin for a while, then spoke: "Don't worry, Urlgan is still alive."

"Huh?!" Urlgug was a little surprised and hurriedly asked: "Master…"

"Alright." Noan interrupted him: "There's no need to worry about that right now. You just need to trust me; Urlgan is still alive."

"The important thing is that we need to become stronger now. If we encounter another attack like that day, I'm afraid we will definitely die."

Urlgug and Vylyss nodded upon hearing this.

"First, we'll go hunting, mainly focusing on normal zombies and searching for rank F energy crystals. Understand?"

After hearing Noan's command, Urlgug and Vylyss took a short rest to get into top condition.

Noan said this not just to reassure Urlgug and Vylyss, but he really knew that Urlgan was still alive.

It must be known that thanks to the 'Evolution' mark of the monsters he fused with, his power can increase.

Therefore, if the monster he has fused with dies or betrays, the mark will disappear.

However, Noan currently did not feel any change in his power, which meant that Urlgan was still alive.

Besides, monsters that he fuses with will never betray him.

After all, it was an SSS rank talent; if he wanted to destroy this link, the opponent would have to possess a talent or skill equal to or higher than his rank.

Because of this, Noan could conclude that Urlgan was still safe.

It's just that… he couldn't determine Urlgan's location or what his current condition was.

For him right now, levelling up is the best thing.

The higher the level, the more soldiers he can summon, and his strength will also increase.

At level 4, he can choose the troops to summon. At that time, he will be like a caterpillar, moulting into a butterfly, as his power will increase enormously.

Therefore, what he needs most now is time. But time does not wait for him; he must race against time.

Unfortunately, he is only an F-rank lord and can only purchase and use D-rank soldier cards at most and cannot purchase higher-rank soldier summoning cards.

The rule is… F-rank lords can purchase D-rank soldier summon cards at most.

Lords of rank E, D, and C can purchase summon cards for soldiers with a maximum rank one level higher than the lord's rank.

Lords of rank B or higher almost have no need to buy soldier summoning cards because their soldiers are already extremely strong.

If they want to buy, they are only allowed to buy soldier summoning cards with the same rank as their lord.

"To reach Lord level 1, 1,000 F-rank energy stones are needed." Noan muttered, "There is no other way; I need to hunt more."

Noan sighed; even if this place was a 'Singularity', filled with danger everywhere, he still had to go hunting.

If he just hides in the territory, sooner or later, he will become a feast in the mouth of another monster.

When it was 10 am, Noan brought Vylyss, Urlgug and the E-rank skeleton out.

Although it was almost noon, the temperature was very low, making him feel a little cold.

Suddenly, he felt a warm feeling enveloping his back.

Noan turned his head and saw Vylyss using one wing to shield him.

He glanced at her, smiled, and said: "Thank you."

Vylyss was happy to hear that; her face flushed: "Master, you don't need to thank me; this is what I need to do."

Suddenly, in this space filled with death, he and Vylyss felt a strange warmth.

"Sorry for interrupting." Urlgug spoke up at this moment: "Master, I don't want to spoil your mood, but I noticed a group of zombies up ahead."

Hearing that, Noah frowned and asked: "Quantity…"

"About 500. However…"
