Aiden was looking at the octopus that was supposed to be dead on the ground, wondering what would be happening. It was supposed to be dead, so why wasn't he receiving the usual messages from the system?

'Wait… don't tell me,' Aiden thought as he suddenly had a scary thought.

If what he had just thought of was to be realized, they would have even more problems than before.

However, before he could see what would happen next, Aiden observed Evelynn's monster as he knew that he wouldn't be approaching the monster's severed head without a reason in mind.

It had tried so hard to stay away from the fight, there was no way that it would be approaching for the fun of it, there must be something happening in the back of his mind.

Aiden was sure that something was about to go down, however, Evelynn's monster needed to hurry as Aiden noticed some movements coming from the severed head.

It seemed that his earlier thoughts were about to be realized. The head of the octopus was currently in the process of regenerating its body, seeing this happen… Aiden briefly looked to his right where the body was headless, he was wondering what would be happening to it.

'Don't tell me that there's going to be two of them, now?'

It was already hard enough to be fighting against a single one that there was no need to add a second one. If that were to happen then there were good chances that Aiden would lose this fight.

"Fuck, it's like I can cut his head again, it would just regenerate over and over again. Fuck, fuck, fuck, what can I do?" Aiden muttered as he grabbed his hand, wondering if there was a way to kill that monster that seemed pretty much immortal at the moment.

He knew that Evelynn's Monster was taking its sweet time slowly walking toward both of the corpses, so Aiden decided to bring that monster closer a little faster as he dragged it close to both of the bodies.

"Do something, you little bitch!" Aiden said, not caring about the words that he was using.

He knew that the Lumithars's monster was pretty much the only hope that he had at the moment.

The more he thought about a way to kill the octopus, the more he realized that he had no idea what to do. No matter what he would be cutting that fucking monster would be coming back to life over and over again.

It was a never-ending cycle from what Aiden had noticed. He didn't know if that was actually the case, but he simply couldn't take the risk or else there would be too many octopuses to fight against. A single one of them was already enough.

As Aiden was looking at Evelynn's monster, he noticed that it gave him a slight smirk as it approached both bodies and touched them.

Then right as he did that, both the octopus's bodies disappeared into particles just like all monsters that he defeated in other worlds would.

'Did he send that monster to the Lumithars, isn't that completely overpowered?' Aiden thought as he realized that as long as that little monster was here and touched monsters no one would be able to touch them.

He realized that this little monster that was now looking at him with cute eyes, was much more important than he had thought beforehand.

'Let's use that little guy in the future,' Aiden mused as he knew that there would be a lot of opportunities to use him in the future.

*BEEP*

[You have killed a Regenerative Octopus.]

[You have obtained Experience Points.]

Aiden saw those messages and smiled, it had been a while since he had seen them and it still procured him the exact same feeling as before.

The feeling of gaining strength. He hadn't leveled up this time but he knew that it was only a question of time where he would be able to become stronger and stronger as time passed.

He honestly couldn't wait to go back to Nova as he wanted to see how things had progressed. He knew that his strength was still far away from the ones of Melinda or even Sylas. But he hoped that he would be able to catch up soon. 

He knew that he would have to train even harder, but that was only a detail from Aiden's point of view.

'It doesn't matter what I have to do as long as I get stronger.'

That was Aiden's motto, the sentence that he lived by.

"Is it finally over?!" Evelynn shouted which made Aiden come out of his thoughts and look at her.

He revealed a smile when he saw that she was struggling to stand up.

"It is, it is. We killed it."

Not even a second later, he appeared right beside Evelynn giving her some support.

"I don't think it would be a good idea to search for other ingredients in this forest," Aiden said as he realized that the monsters in this forest were much stronger than he had thought.

He now realized why the director of the Magic Academy was living on this mountain.

This forest that he was currently in was probably his training grounds, where he would go and fight against every one of them.

"You're right…" She said, blushing as Aiden's red eyes were still looking at her with the same intensity as earlier.

"Ah, what are you doing?!"

She sounded panicked as she was now in Aiden's arms, who was quite surprised by the reaction from Evelynn.

It wasn't the first time that they were doing this after all, and she still had the same overreaction. It was quite a special feeling.

"You clearly can't walk, so we will fly back toward the academy and we will go tell Anna that we won't be able to gather all those ingredients by ourselves," Aiden said as he knew that there was a much more efficient way of gathering ingredients, buying them.
