Loewe looked at Klaus and then at his friends. She turned toward the direction where Ko's mushed head could be seen.
Hanna was elated, knowing that she would soon have a companion if things went their way.
Of course, like everyone else, she was shocked. Daniel had killed a Tier 9 beast—a feat she believed was beyond her capabilities. Yet, in that mont, she felt as though anything was possible.
This sense of possibility thrilled her, especially at the thought of gaining a companion she could coordinate with.
If she could create a mont like the one Anna had orchestrated for Daniel, she could inflict far more damage on the battlefield.
"How can I be sure you're not just using and will toss aside in the end?" Loewe asked, his narrowed eyes fixed on Klaus. "I've been sentient since I reached the 7th stage, and I know all too well what humans are capable of."
"There's no need to be afraid or suspicious," Klaus replied calmly. "You're a Peak Tier 8 beast, and I can see you want to break through and fully transform—unlike the brute my friend just killed.
"You want to achieve a complete human form, and for that, I can promise you this: if you form a contract with my sister, I will personally ensure you reach Tier 9 within three months.
On top of that, I'll teach you a thod to attain a near-perfect human body once you break through," Klaus said, his expression deadly serious.
Inwardly, Klaus was conversing with the senior.
Klaus asked.
[Are you doubting , brat?] the senior retorted.
Klaus threatened with a smirk.
Loewe looked back at Klaus. For a mont, she hesitated, but when she heard Hanna's words, her mind changed.
"Trust him, Loewe. He's the most trustworthy person I know. If you don't believe , ask the others."
Loewe looked at Klaus's friends, who all nodded in agreent.
She pondered for a few minutes before nodding. Right now, she wanted nothing more than to beco a true beast who could stand on her own two feet and make her own decisions.
This desire burned deep within her soul. After being forced into submission by a true beast many years ago to attack a human settlent—which ended badly for them—she had resolved to beco a powerhouse herself.
If this human claid he could help her, she would obey.
"I will accept the contract, however, I will stay here and will only be summoned when needed," Loewe instructed.
Klaus didn't imdiately respond. A few monts later, he spoke up.
"If I find a way to bring the entire ThunderBerry Tree with , would you then co with us?" Klaus asked. He knew the tree was the only thing keeping her there.
Loewe and his friends exchanged strange looks at his question.
They knew space rings couldn't hold living things, so how would he take an entire tree with him if that was the case? They certainly wanted to see how he could manage that.

"If you take the tree safely with you, I will indeed co with you all. But without the tree, I will stay here. If you don't like that, then we can fight. I'd rather die than leave the tree," Loewe said.
"Very well. I will take the tree with us. For now, let's form the contract," Klaus said before storing his sword away.
"Big sister, co," Hanna stepped forward and stopped in front of Klaus. Loewe was also gestured to step forward, which she did after so internal struggle.
Klaus started forming a hand seal, which took shape the next second. Two runes appeared and rged with their foreheads.
"Big sis, touch your blood to her forehead, and the contract will be ford." Hanna obeyed and placed her blood there.
The next second, the runes on their foreheads shone brighter, then dimd. Hanna imdiately felt a strong connection form between herself and Loewe.
Loewe felt it, too. "This... What did you do?" she asked.
"What do you an?" Klaus responded.
"I can feel my strength grow by so degree when the contract was ford. How is that possible?" Loewe asked.
"Oh, that. It's just the kind of contract that was ford. It's not a slave seal, nor is it a strict master-servant contract. This one is called a Contract of Equals. Just as you can't betray Hanna, she also can't betray you.
Also, you will gain additional strength every ti she levels up or breaks through. Of course, she will also gain the sa from you.
But that isn't all. If she chooses to give you a na of her choosing, you both will gain an additional ten per cent boost to your stats," Klaus explained, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"Give a na, then," Loewe imdiately turned to Hanna, who was already brainstorming a good na.
In the end, she picked a perfect one.
"I will call you Kathy, a short form for Kathrine. It was my mom's na, and now, you get to have it," Hanna said with a smile.
Her real mom was known as Kathrine. She loved her dearly, and since she was dead, Hanna used her na to gain strength. A very noble thing in her eyes.
Of course, it worked.
They both felt a wave of energy enter their bodies the mont Hanna nad her. This made Klaus' other pals jealous.
"I also want a beast companion!" Anna imdiately pouted.
" too," Lily seconded her demand.
The guys also joined in.
"Don't worry, guys. We still have missions to do, so hold on for now. You will all get companions before we leave. Of course, I will be picking the companions, so if we don't find suitable ones here, we can look elsewhere."
"For now, we have to finish up here and go raid the domain of our dearly departed Ko. I would love to sink my teeth into so of his lightning apples," Klaus smiled, looking at the now dead tiger.
