CH 7 There Are Two Types Of People. Those Who Accept They Like Princess Carry And Those Who Lie

“I’m trying! It’s not listening!” Ren shot back.

Upon awakening, Beast Masters awakened the Beast slumbering inside their soul space. They were stuck with this Beast until they completed first Class Evolution, and contracted a new beast. The first Beast they had was something they had no choice to choose. It was born within their soul. Hence the saying, if your first Beast has shit personality, then you are royally f*cked.

While most Beast listened to their Beast Masters, it was not unheard of to have a haughty Beast that refused to leave the Soul Space or fight for their Beast Master. These Beasts would make Water Bullet Spell’s whining look cute in comparison.

Freya’s eyes softened briefly, and she looked at Ren with pity. He had a hard future ahead.

Before either could speak again, ten more voids entered Mana Zone. This time even Freya felt it. The ground trembled as the new group broke into a run.

“I think we should move,” she said, forcing a strained smile. “What was your plan again?”

“Watch.”

Ren fired a Fire Bullet straight upward.

“What are you—”

Freya fell silent mid-sentence. She felt the “gaze” move away from them when the Fire Bullet went into the sky, and beyond the cover of salt mountains and salt pillars.

The fire shone brightly at night, attracting the gaze of the giant decapitated lady. The Fire Bullet turned into salt in one second.

Before the “gaze” returned to Freya and Ren, Ren fired another Fire Bullet into the sky, distracting the giant decapitated lady again and making her look at the new bright Fire Bullet.

“Tha— That’s a terrific plan!” Freya exclaimed.

“I know!” Ren replied quickly. “Let’s make a run for it now! I’ll keep [her] distracted! Just don’t use your saw sword! The noise might make [her] ignore the fire and look at us!”

“Okay!”

Ren was about to start running when suddenly Freya wrapped her arm around his waist, and her other arm went below his legs, scooping him up in princess carry.

“Huh?”

“Hold tight.”

“What do you—”

She ran. The acceleration crushed the words from his lungs. His vision blurred as the world streaked past in pale salt and shadow.

He felt like his spine would snap from inertia.

Ren realized Freya’s true stats might be really fucking high.

Freya sprinted along paths she could barely see, reading subtle depressions and silhouette changes. She ducked beneath towering invisible bodies and slipped between legs before the monsters could react.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

Ren clung to her neck to avoid being thrown. He would have preferred to run himself, but there was no comparison. Without her speed, they would already be surrounded.

Ten new voids appeared behind them.

“Move west!” Ren called.

Hushclaws, much larger than the ones they fought before, chased them.

Ren noticed more Hushclaws coming from left and front of their new direction. He fired a charged Water Bullet at the knee of the weakest Hushclaw standing in their path. A crack echoed as bone shattered. Water revealed the creature’s body just long enough for Freya to leap over it.

They made a mad dash.

However, no matter where they ran, more Hushclaws appeared. It seemed the leader of these monsters had been long prepared to trap them.

The monsters that attacked us first weren’t scouts. They were there to keep us busy while these monsters completed the encirclement! Ren realized.

And…
