“So…”

Some time had passed since the little slime unknowingly destroyed all those green gobs.

The kind of destruction that one spell caused was on par with the destruction that the spells of (tier-4) are capable of.

And the spell itself was unique– different from the conventional spells that the normal mages cast.

“I don’t think it’s a bad thing, you know?”

Seeing all those dead bodies, the blood splashing with the forceful sphere of water, the kind of destruction it brought, the way it killed even the head of this village… Elio couldn’t handle it.

The kind of power that one spell displayed was so great that they were shocked already, but the kind of power the other two offensive spells contained, how they actually destroyed the rest of the settlement was just beyond him.

“This is good. Az can cast powerful spells that are different from the normal spells.

Among the players, its also called (Original spell casting) where the players cast a spell according to their own understanding of the spell with their own methods and the spell results in something unique from the same version of that spell.”

Az could only cast three spells before its Mana was almost bottomed out.

She had to feed it another Mana stone but she did not mind it.

If the power that they are getting at the cost of just some simple Mana stones, she did not mind any of it.

Thanks to Az, both of them were able to gain a lot of experience in such a short time.

The slime and the gecko both had also leveled up to (Level-15) with this.

And it was good.

Their leveling was different but the Exp that they shared with them was the same.

They obtained the same kind of experience as the rest of them, just that their leveling system was different from the players, or the natives.

They were natural creatures and both of them were now Elio’s tamed beasts.

They belonged to him, so it wasn’t really a bad thing that they were so strong.

In fact, even Miu had special senses as they had recently found out.

It also possessed three skills like Az currently did, but all three of its skills were something Alex recognised well.

“Having a strong friend is good, dummy. Why mourn over some mobs that were going to die sooner or later anyway.”

At those words, he looked at her, directly in her blue eyes.

“So, if they were going to die one day anyway, did their lives not amount to anything?”

He did not like those words from her, even though they were true…

“Haaa. Alex it’s not like I care about the lives of these mobs.”

His concerns, the thing that made him sit down there and be in such deep thoughts was not something related to the things that they had killed.

After being killed, their existence had surely become meaningless to this world.

They were now dead, but… what if there was someone else in their place that was not supposed to die?

“Az cannot control that power yet.”

His main concern was how this little creature who was playing around with its little gecko friend, that strangely powerful object would learn to control that great power.

“At the end of the day, Az is still a slime.”

Sure it can cast those powerful spells but, great powers without control over them was the same as a broken rifle.

One does not know when the rifle will backfire and kill the one to pull the trigger, or the bullet that was coming out of it would hit the family of the one pulling the trigger instead of the villain.

“It is young in nature, it’s new to this world filled with people who would want the power that it has, and you and I both know we will not be there for them in every moment of our lives here.”

They weren’t natives and there would be times when they would have to go back to their world for hours, perhaps days sometimes.

Due to the quest, they had managed to stay around with only a few hours of time outside of the game.

They mostly slept inside the game but, they will have to go and take an actual nap after today. They could not neglect their health.

“With that kind of power, without us around them, what will happen to them and the ones around them?

What if they just curiously try something and something bad happens?”

There were always consequences of everything. And with power this great involved, there is no telling just what kind of things could go wrong.

“With great powers comes great responsibilities…”

Alex looked at the little creatures that were happily playing around without even knowing much about what kind of strength they actually possessed.

“And they aren’t ready for that responsibility.”

As their friends, as their tamer and their family, they were the ones responsible for everything that these creatures do.

Sure they are smart and understand a lot more than some normal slime or some normal lizard, but they still do not have the maturity of a proper adult human being that they need to understand the kind of responsibilities they would have with the kind of power they possess.

“Alex… what will they do when we aren’t around?”

Had they been summoned creatures, familiars even, things would have been simple for them.

Those creatures could stay in their own realms or in a unique space that belongs to them in the absence of their masters, but tamed beasts were creatures of the same world as their masters.

They weren’t something that they could send away or put in some place.

With the kind of strength they had, there weren’t many people or beings around them that would be able to take care of these special creatures.

“Will they be as happy as they are with us?”

That was his biggest concern.

“…”

And though Alex had thought about this, had some idea of what they could do in their absence, and was planning something… it was not confirmed just yet.

“Don’t worry about it.”

The only thing she could tell him was to not worry about those things.

She had something in her mind, but she still needed some time to think it through.

There were some things that she needed to confirm before she can answer his question with certainty, but until then… Chapter Continue:

“I’ll take care of it.”

That much was all that she could tell him.

He will just have to believe in her words this time.
