Chapter 74: Connection

"This is the S-ranked monster\'s lair," Max uttered quietly while staring at what used to be a supermarket.

The building was intact on the outside, but a dark miasma oozed out of it, kicking away every weaker monster or trash person who would like to snatch some of the mighty beast\'s content.

Such a lair indeed held treasures.

But Max came here, for one thing, an ability to leave Earth. Every player who cleared a beast stronger than himself would receive bountiful rewards from the system. One of those rewards could be the invitation to The Tower.

This place would turn even a trash human into someone worthy of attention if one survived here, that was. But just breathing in The Tower would significantly raise people\'s strength.

It wasn\'t a secret that many things, such as factors, polluted air. It was similar in every world, but the source was just different.

Such air harmed people without them knowing about it. The very fresh air helped people on Earth, and it was even called legal doping.

Thus, it wasn\'t an exaggeration that a mere presence in The Tower could turn someone into a monster with powerful might. Even though it would count only weak worlds, up to mediocre ones, it was still a good boost.

"We will be inadvertently helping Aimee and her father," Zamira commented, recalling Aimee, who had been complaining about other households.

Since Aimee and her father were in a hurry, they brought their family and assets to Europe. They were foreigners that wanted to seize a lot of land and authority through the catastrophe.

It wasn\'t bad since Aimee\'s heart was gentle and surely not close to the three family heads. However, as they were foreigners, some other households didn\'t want to become subjects of different \'races\'.

And thus, the war started.

"By killing the S-ranked beast without any announcement, Aimee will use it to scare other households," Max smiled, not really caring about others.

He felt like he had too many eyes already. He had so many spy bugs on a different continent that nothing escaped his eyes in their holy lands.

He had the same in Europe, around his house, and Aimee\'s household.

"I realized that I always had treasures in my hands. I must focus on them, not other girls," Max said while moving forward to the beast\'s lair as if strolling. His beloveds followed him closely, "And it\'s so bothersome to keep an eye on everyone. I will focus on good girls and their progress, then have them govern areas.

Even if I don\'t focus on having girls chase me, they will still look for me," Max rolled his eyes.

Zamira sighed, which was quite rare in her case.

Alice rolled her eyes, sharing her thoughts, "You could\'ve spared us from that last line. You would\'ve actually made us feel happier!"

Zamira nodded, looking at Max with narrowed yet charming eyes.

Max chuckled, not thinking he had said something bad, "Being honest is a key, isn\'t it? And you know this fact very well. Anyway, I\'ve fallen so much for the twins that I have already changed my thoughts.

I want to shower you with attention. That\'s what matters," he laughed before turning serious, for Max and the twins entered the dark world.

Inside the supermarket, everything was black. All stuff had been kicked away by powerful mana, creating a vast lair. Some stuff remained in the place, though, such as pillows.

And on those pillows, the black tiger resided with his eyes closed. He was a giant existence with a profound pressure oozing out of him, even while sleeping. Max and the twins saw his red eyes as he opened them.

He had his army around him, smaller tigers already alerted by Max and the twins\' presence.

They were smaller, yet they were at least one and a half meters tall. Their boss, the S-ranked beast, was at least five meters tall.

"Alright, let\'s try it," Max said, bending his arms slightly. His beloveds nodded, turning into eastern dragons with long bodies, unique horns, and beautiful scales. Their vast forms outmatched the tigers and their boss.

However, Alice and Zamira started shrinking without any reason.

At the same time, Max called out his mana dragons. They were like perfect, small versions of Zamira and Alice\'s forms. They coiled around his arms, silently waiting for their master\'s next move.

Max didn\'t move, though. He waited for Zamira and Alice to match the size of his mana dragons.

And when it happened, Zamira and Alice entered his mana dragons.

[Zamira and Alice have connected to you.]

[Your mana has increased significantly.]

[Your draconian skills have become perfect.]

They became one, their souls and mana oceans blending perfectly. Their strength surged so much that the tigers froze from fear, their leader shaking as she stared at the absurd phenomenon before him.

Max smiled, lifting his hand, "Zamira\'s Breath."

From his palm, a terrifying and hot fire came out. It was so fast that it was a laser, leaving behind tongues of flames. That power smashed against the black tiger, causing his giant form to disappear within the fire.

"Don\'t call it Zamira\'s breath!" Zamira yelped, her dragon tail slapping Max\'s cheek. She found his skill name weird, even if she was a dragon.

Max didn\'t expect that once again, hit by the different culture, "I thought you would be fine if I called it this way… So I should use \'Fire Dragon\'s Breath\'?"

"Much better…" Zamira softly said, quite bashful as she apologized, "I didn\'t want to slap you."

Max laughed, "It\'s fine. Your little sister doesn\'t hold back, either."

Alice proudly harrumphed before saying, "Add water now!"

Max grinned, saying in a loud voice, "Alice\'s Breath!"

"Bastard!" Alice slapped his cheek, adding, "You know we don\'t like it this way when it comes out of your mouth!"

"Yeah, I know," Max burst out laughing while mixing two elements. As the reaction happened, the black tiger\'s painful scream rang out.

A few breaths later, nothing remained of him.

[You have killed the black tiger, S-ranked Beast.]

"Aren\'t we too strong?" Max laughed, stating obvious without meaning his words.

Alice and Zamira just smiled as their beloved trod toward the beast\'s throne, his intent to pick his rewards.
