After the Wanderers inside the cave regained their composure, they looked at the ten-year-old as if he was so kind of celebrity who had jumped out of the TV Screen in order to et them.
Although they didn't know what the Skunk-Like Monster's Rank was, they knew that the Bear it had dragged into the cave was a Rank 4 Alpha Monster.
Miriam had gained an item that allowed her to appraise the Ranks of Monsters up to Rank 4.
Since she couldn't see The Blaze Chad Skunk's rank, it only ant one thing.
It was higher than Rank 4!
No one in their group, even Shasha, was capable of defeating a Rank 4 Monster.
Even as a team, they could only defeat a Rank 2 Monster at most.
A Rank 3 would already be incredibly difficult since only four of them knew how to fight, including Shasha.
And if the Rank 3 Monster was an Alpha Monster, then only death awaited all of them.
But with Zion's appearance, Miriam beca hopeful. If the Skunk Monster behind him was his Avatar, then they would no longer have to worry about Kane Stallard and his team.
"All of you work together to barbecue this bear's at," Thirteen ordered. "Those who won't work won't eat, so contribute to this team if you want to live."
He could tell that the Wanderers were very dependent on Shasha because she ca from one of the ten Prestigious Families.
Shasha didn't talk a lot, but she was a very kind person, nurtured by the love and care by their parents.
Thirteen also trained her properly so that when it was her turn to go to Solterra, her chances of surviving would be higher.
Of course, he didn't tell her that she shouldn't work with other Wanderers to finish her quest.
Going solo in a dangerous world, especially when they had just arrived in Solterra, was suicidal.
If there were people who could help her accomplish her task, she should work with them, on the condition that they didn't harbor any malicious intent toward her.
Because of this teaching, Shasha firmly distanced herself from Kane Stallard, who had shown excessive infatuation toward her even back in Pangea.
So, the mont Shasha saw him in Solterra, she didn't hesitate to go as far away as possible from him, well aware that he was bad news.
"Co with , sister," Thirteen said as he held Shasha's hand. "Let's do so catching up."
Shasha nodded and allowed her brother to pull her toward the entrance of the cave, where they could talk.
"Mikhail said that you helped him finish his quest," Shasha said as she sat beside Thirteen at the entrance of the cave. "I just didn't expect that I would et you here too, Zion."
"Well, his quest is quite straightforward," Thirteen replied. "It was just a little hard to accomplish since he and the other Wanderers with the sa quest were required to defeat a Rank 4 Sovereign protected by hundreds of Rank 2 and Rank 3 Monsters."
"You call that 'a little hard?'," Shasha comnted with an amused expression on her face. "That's nearly impossible to…"
Shasha then suddenly rembered Cristopher's and her Father's story about the Rank 9 Sovereign Fire Dragon and Majin Prince that his brother had fought against in Solterra.
Compared to those two powerful beings, a Rank 4 Sovereign would look cute in comparison.
"You want to know how Mikhail defeated that many monsters?" Thirteen asked in a mischievous tone.
Shasha nodded because she was truly curious about how their brother's team of Wanderers, whose numbers didn't exceed thirty, were able to complete such an incredibly hard mission.
"Oh, it really wasn't that hard," Thirteen said. "The Monster that Mikhail's party needed to kill was a Rank 4 White Tiger Sovereign. It was well protected by ten Rank 4 Alpha Tigers and hundreds of Rank 1 up to Rank 3 Tigers.
"All I did was act as bait to make all of them run after . When the White Tiger made its move, Mikhail and the other Wanderers pushed several boulders down the mountain to create an avalanche, which annihilated all the monsters in one go."
Of course, there had been a lot of preparation involved, which allowed him, Mikhail, and the other Wanderers to make the trap for the Rank 4 Sovereign and his subordinates.
But since he didn't want to bore Shasha with the details, he skipped the details and simply told her the simple version of the story.
"Fortunately, the White Tiger didn't die right away," Thirteen explained. "It tried to dig itself out of the rubble, but it had already suffered serious injuries, so its progress was slow.
"When it finally poked its head out of the pile of stones, Mikhail was there, waiting for it. He slashed its head using his Axe, but it was not enough to kill it. It took him at least a dozen tries before the White Tiger finally died. But in the end, he succeeded and gained its Avatar."
Shasha smiled. She rembered how proud Mikhail looked when he summoned the Rank 4 Monster in their house—though at the expense of almost making Remi cry.
Fortunately, their little sister was easy to pacify. All Mikhail did was to pick her up and take her for a ride on the White Tiger around the house.
Since then, the White Tiger, whom Mikhail nad, Wynn, had beco Remi's playmate, alongside her pet, Fluffy.
"Unfortunately, your mission isn't as straightforward," Thirteen sighed. "Enter the Gate of the Moonlight? It's such a vague mission. It reminded of Cristopher's mission, Lighting the Beacon of Hope.
"I just hope we won't have to fight against a Majin Prince or Majin Princess since there is no way that we can beat them this ti around."
Thirteen no longer wanted to face such powerful beings. Once was enough, and he sincerely hoped that Shasha's mission wouldn't be on the sa level of difficulty.
"Brother, are you going to leave the others behind?" Shasha asked.
Although she didn't specify who 'the others' were, it was very easy to tell that she was referring to the Wanderers who had decided to stay on Shasha's team.
"Don't worry," Thirteen answered. "As long as they follow my orders, I will ensure that they will return to Pangea safely. But I will not allow any of them to piggyback off of . They will have to put in so effort. This is for their own good."
Shasha nodded her head in understanding.
All the Wanderers who were given a mission would get rewards,depending on how much they contributed to the completion of their mission.
Those who managed to clear it because others did it for them wouldn't gain any rewards from The One.
Although the Omnipotent God was deed unfair at tis because of how difficult so of the missions for the Wanderers were, the rewards it gave would always be fair.
If possible, Thirteen wanted Shasha to have the highest contribution, allowing her to gain special abilities after she beca a Rookie.
Besides, this was also his last mission.
He hoped that after he completed it, he and Shasha would be sent back to Pangea, where their family would be waiting for their return.
