Thirteen knew.
He knew full well that he was not a hero who would save everyone he ca across.
He was more of a villain who wouldn't hesitate to use whatever ans necessary to achieve his goals.
This was why he had co up with this plan to fight against the Rank 6 Overlord, Diabolical Hyena, to prepare himself for the inevitable.
He wasn't a Saint, and he already expected that there would be casualties in this battle.
But when one of the Wanderers was about to be killed by a Hyena, a Troll pushed her away and used his shield to block the blow.
The spiked shield and the hyena's teeth clashed, creating sparks, and sent the Troll flying backward.
Perhaps angered by the annoying monster who had gotten in its way, the Hyena lunged at the helpless Troll, who was still lying on the ground.
Thirteen could already foresee the Troll's demise. But before he knew it, he had already released the arrow in his bow, which flew toward the Hyena's eye, making it wince in pain mid-jump, breaking its concentration.
The Troll took that opportunity to roll on the ground to distance itself from the Hyena and regain its footing.
Thirteen fired another arrow. This ti, he targeted the Hyena's other eye, turning it completely blind.
The Wanderers and the Trolls then attacked the monster at the sa ti, killing it completely.
"Nice shot, Young Master!" Cristopher, who had seen everything from beginning to end, praised Thirteen for saving the Troll.
"If you have ti to praise , then you have ti to shoot," Thirteen said as he nocked another arrow on his bow and released it not long after. "Less talking, more shooting!"
"Yes, Master!" Cristopher replied before he, too, unleashed an arrow from his bow.
The seven-year-old was still surprised that his body chose to subconsciously save the Troll instead of letting it die.
This battle was nothing compared to what they were going to face in the future, so Thirteen originally intended to prepare himself for the worst-case scenario of losing several allies in battle.
At first, he didn't plan on helping the Troll, which was one of his slaves, so that he would be able to gauge his feelings once it died.
But his body moved subconsciously and fired the arrow faster than his mind could think.
'Maybe deep inside , I don't want to lose anyone,' Thirteen thought, narrowing his eyes as he released an arrow aid at a Hyena that had knocked a Wanderer to the side with its claw. 'Even if I'm against a Majin Prince, I will make sure that my people will not die so easily.'
With his newfound resolve, Thirteen's arrows flew across the battlefield, always finding their mark, saving those who were about to suffer a grueso and painful death.
Even Vassago and Poca descended to the chaotic battle with their claws spread wide, scratching the eyes of the Hyenas in their path.
Giga Chad, who was protecting several Wanderers, was attacked by three Hyenas at the sa ti.
Currently, the Chad Skunk stood six ters tall and fought like a crazed bear, its claws shining with corrosive acid.
It also didn't hesitate to bite his opponents, tearing their flesh apart.
The Hyenas attacking him were Rank 3 Monsters, while Giga Chad was only a Rank 2 Monster.
But due to the effect of Titan's Heart, which gave him the size and strength of a Giant, his battle capabilities rose up to that of a Rank 3 Monster as well.
The armor protecting his body also played a critical role, protecting Giga Chad's vitals and decreasing the damage he received from the Hyenas.
Truth be told, Giga Chad had a total of two Divine Techniques and one Silver Grade Technique, all given to him by Thirteen.
The two Divine Techniques were Titan Heart and Corrosion King.
The Silver Grade Technique was called Bestial Fury. What it did was increase the Chad Skunk's fighting ability and give it so kind of Intimidation Aura, which weakened its enemies by a small percentage.
Thirteen truly pampered Giga Chad. Just like Tiona and Cristopher, he knew that the fluffy guy would not betray him.
However, since he already had two Divine Techniques in his body, adding one more would put too much strain on Giga Chad.
Putting this into consideration, Thirteen settled for a Silver Grade Technique that would complent the Chad Skunk's battle style.
Just as the battle raged on, one of the Hyenas managed to bite Giga Chad's arm, making him scream in pain.
At that mont, Rocky rose up from the ground and used his tail to smash the Hyena's head, releasing its hold on the Chad Skunk's arm.
Suddenly, a Tigerkin whose hands and feet were covered with Golden Flas appeared in front of the Hyena and used his claws to slash the side of the Hyena's face, setting it ablaze.
Percival didn't even wait to see the aftermath of his attack before he charged at another Hyena, who was giving the Wanderers a hard ti.
Although he didn't know how he gained such an overwhelming power, he believed that this was given to him to protect the people around him.
Thirteen gave the Tigerkin a sidelong glance before ordering Giga Chad to retreat and allow one of the Wanderers who had gained a healing artifact to heal his injuries.
Just as the seven-year-old was about to attack another monster in the distance, he heard a loud roar, making him glance in the direction where the Diabolical Hyena and the Purple-Furred Honey Badger were currently fighting.
"Tiona, it's up to you now," Thirteen said.
The small Black Snake that was coiled on his neck nodded her head in understanding.
Thirteen ordered Blacky to run to where Cristopher was.
Although it was a little dangerous, he decided to take the gamble—one that would allow them to maximize the rewards that they would get from this battle between the two Overlords, whose claws and teeth were soaked with each other's blood.
