Chapter 117
Next morning, Ed and the rest left the pocket dimension . To make up for the Exp he didn"t get from killing a floor boss, Ed had o put extra effort into hunting in this floor . Else, he could get thrashed by the floor boss . Luckily for him, Siegfried would be an excellent addition in battle .
"Let"s go this way . " Ed chose their direction while checking the Map . Most monsters seemed to be lone ones, but some of them seemed to live in packs . Ed chose quant.i.ty over quality . Even if one strong monster gave him a lot of Exp it doesn"t compare to a hundred weak ones . There was also the Gacha ticket drop rate .
"What the!" A couple of meters away from his destination, Ed was surprised by a tree log flying in his direction . Ed and his companions immediately rushed ahead . Their enemy was looking to kill them, so obviously they couldn"t stay away from them . Even though the terrain was difficult, Ed maneuvered around it as if it was an asphalt ground . No trees or rocks impeded him in his rush . As all seven of them were rushing, tree, rocks, and all sorts of things were thrown at them . Ed even noticed something brown, but he didn"t want to think about it .
"I should have known . " After reaching his enemies, Ed found out that they were Gorillas . Yet, Ed almost didn"t recognize them . This group of Gorillas was huge . Huge was actually an understatement . The smallest one among them was bigger than Raikou . Their arms were muscular, explaining their ability to throw things at such a distance . But what surprised Ed the most was their eyesight . They were able to notice Ed"s group from so far away .
"Please let me handle this . It"ll be my first time fighting on your behalf . " Before Ed and the rest could charge at their enemies, Siegfried stopped them . He seemed as if he wanted to prove his worth . Although Ed made sure to remind Siegfried to act in a casual way with him, he didn"t comply . He didn"t call Ed master anymore, but he was still acting in a respectful way . Ed couldn"t help but chuckle in his mind .
Siegfried "floated" towards the group of Gorillas . Ed made sure to scan them beforehand, and found out that all of them were Earth Establishment level 9 . Killing all of them would certainly give Ed a good boost in his Exp . Currently, he was level 40(Earth Establishment level7) and needed a million Exp points to level up . This was the biggest jump in Exp he had ever encountered .
As Siegfried closed in on the Gorillas, they kept looking at him in a way that reminded Ed of a child and its new toy . Apparently, they couldn"t tell the difference in power between them . Sieg stayed still in the midst of them . All of them seemed as if they were controlled by rage as they screamed and started attacking him . Some used their fists; some pulled up trees from their roots and hit him . More than ten of them attacked at once, yet not a single one managed to reach him . His barrier was restored along with his body after Ed turned him into a card .
"That esteemed person had to use his entire strength in order to break this barrier . You believe that, with your feeble abilities, you"ll be able to do the same?" Sieg seemed to mock the Gorillas . "That Esteemed person?" Ed couldn"t help but question the way Sieg referred to him . First was master, now it was Esteemed person . He was afraid what new nicknames Sieg would be able to come up with .

"Lightning Bolt" Ed snapped out of his thought due to Sieg"s voice . Several lightning bolts struck each one of the Gorillas . Thunder resounded in the jungle . "Ice Lance . " Not giving them any chance to recover, Sieg used a second technique and impaled every one of them . The battle was over just like that .
Acquired Exp 15 . 000 .
Acquired Exp 15 . 000 .
Acquired Gacha ticket .
Acquired Gacha ticket .
Acquired…
A string of information flooded Ed . However, he was still happy . He got a good amount of Exp and even a Gacha ticket . He was close to having ten Gacha tickets, which meant that he would be drawing some more Gacha .
Ed continued to look for monster packs but was unable to find any that would satisfy him . "Too bad" Ed thought to himself as he looked for a suitable spot . Almost half an hour later, Ed found an open ground suitable for camping and opened up a pocket dimension . Obviously, he was going to train since monsters weren"t appearing . He explained to Sieg how they usually train and asked him to coach Suika and the others . He and Raikou did not need as much advice as the rest of them .
After setting up a gravity multiplier of fifteen times, all of them began their training . Ed was surprised to see that Sieg wasn"t affected by the sudden change in gravity . The latter explained to him that Heavenly Establishment beings would be able to overcome gravity using their QI . That was how they were able to fly . However, the degree would change from an individual to another . Ed enjoyed himself while seeing Sieg try his best to give advice to the others . "You should focus more QI in that move . You shouldn"t stop if your attack is dodged . You…"
After finishing the training, Ed wanted to ask Sieg something . "When we first started fighting, you acted like a villain . What was that about?" Ed noticed that Sieg"s true personality was a lot different than what he first showed .

"Oh that . That"s a simple game I started doing whenever I"m summoned . It is funny to see people"s reactions when I release my aura . " Apparently, Sieg was a prankster .
"Oh yeah, I also want to try something . Stay still . " Ed went behind Sieg and put his hands on his back . He was going to try and get Sieg to learn Nen . Unfortunately, his experiment failed .
"No need to feel sorry, Sir Ed . I"ll make sure to power-up without needing this ability . " Sieg comforted Ed after he explained to him what he was doing . Nen was the ability to change one"s life energy to a special power . This meant that beings that are dead wouldn"t be able to use it . Sieg was such a case . "Sir Ed…" Ed couldn"t help but notice such a thing .
"Well, you"re plenty strong right now . I guess the best I can do is help you come up with new abilities . " The group took a bath together and slept . As Sieg didn"t sleep, he kept looking at the "sky" . For the first time since he knew life, a genuine smile was on his face .Next morning, Ed and the rest left the pocket dimension .
