Even though Miley was trying hard not to show it, she was still the most worried one among them. The disturbance in the forest was so loud that several beasts who were still sleeping in their lair suddenly woke up and ran out in fear, thinking that they were being attacked. On their way to escape, they came across Sylvia's group, and then another fight between man and beasts ensued. After running a few kilometers away, the sound of the battle behind them receded a bit. “Let's stop here. The beasts in this vicinity should have been gone by now.” Miley, as the second in command, took charge of the team. “Okay.” Everyone was also tired from running. With Atlas being unconscious, there was no way they could recover their energy faster. Sylvia rests her back against a tree and wipes off the sweat on her face. “Here.” Ian, who came over, stretched out a bottle of water to her. Sylvia glanced at the bottle in Ian's hand before lifting her gaze to the latter. 'Why do I feel that there's a hidden meaning behind his action?' “I don't need it.” She rejected it outright. “I have water with me.” A bottle of water appeared in her hand. Ian had already foreseen himself getting rejected, so he didn't feel awkward when he heard Sylvia's words. “Okay.” He pulled back his hand and headed towards Ryker, who was sitting at the side. “Here.” He threw the bottle into the latter's embrace. “You must be quite thirsty, so drink some water.”“Thank you so much, Ian.” Ryker smiled as he opened the bottle cap and chugged down the water. Ian sat beside him, his gaze resting on the figure sitting against the tree in the distance. They all wait for about an hour before the battle sound in the distance can no longer be heard. Three minutes later, the silhouette of a flying dragon emerged from the distance. “Boss!” “Tyron!” Everyone stood up and waited for the dragon to land. 'Thud.' Huji's feet met the ground, sending out a wave of dirt. When the dirt settled, the bloodied injuries on his body were revealed to everyone's eyes. Several of his scales were missing, now replaced with red blood. Tyron, who was seated at the back, didn't look good either. His whole body was covered in blood. “Tyron!” Tears dripped down from Miley's face when she saw Tyron's state. She immediately jumped over to help him. “Cough, cough.” Tyron coughed out as he was assisted down the ground. Once the two were off his back, Huji immediately transformed into a ball of light and disappeared into Ian's forehead. “Boss.” Except for Ian and Sylvia, the rest all had tears in their eyes. Assisted by Miley, Tyron consoles them. “Wipe away your tears. Don't you think it's embarrassing for you grown men, to be crying? Although I'm injured, the blood on my body isn't entirely mine.”Hearing him say this, the worries in Walker and the others' hearts lessened a bit. “Let me take you to rest.” Miley led Tyron towards a nearby tree and sat him down before leaving. As he sat, Tyron's gaze rested on Atlas, who was unconscious in the distance. He couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. One should know that the major reason why he had dared to venture into the deeper wilds was because of the trust he had in Atlas' healing ability. Now that the backbone of the team was presently unconscious, they could only wait for him to wake up. When Miley came back again, there was already a bowl of water and a clean white towel in her hands. She dipped the towel into the water and wrung it out before using it to wipe the blood on Tyron's face. With the thick smell of blood on him, it might accidentally lure a hungry beast over. So it's better to keep it safe. Tyron watched as Miley attentively wiped off the blood on his body. A smile spread across his lips, but it soon turned to a painful hiss. Miley thought that she had touched on his injury and immediately apologized. “Sorry.” “No, I just pulled on the wound on my lips. Besides that, I should be the one apologizing, not you.” Tyron reached out for the hand holding the towel and put it against his chest. “I know you are very mad at me. I shouldn't have put myself at such risk, but if I were to make another decision, I would still choose to risk my life. So hit me or scold me. Just… don't keep silent like this. I'm afraid to see you like this.” Facing the man she loved, the tears Miley had been struggling to hold back suddenly began to fall. She fell into Tyron's embrace and cried loudly.“You idiot. Do you know how scared I was? What if… What if…” “I know. I'm sorry.” Tyron wrapped his arms around Miley's body. “You can hit me if it pleases you. Just don't be mad at me.” The action of the couple fell into everyone's eyes. They all moved away, giving the couple some time to spend together. Sylvia found another place to sit and took out a package of biscuits from her ring. But before she could enjoy her snack peacefully, the low sobbing of a certain system rang inside her head. [Woo-woo. What a touching scene. I need to write this scenario down in my next romantic novel. I'm pretty sure that the fandom would love it.] Sylvia's mouth twitched when she heard the system's words. Fandom? Why didn't she know that Susu could write a novel? Suddenly realizing that he had unknowingly let his secret slip out, a certain system instantly went into hiding. “Ha-ha.” Sylvia chuckled when she saw his sneaky action. … With both the healing ability and potion taking effect, Atlas soon woke up after several hours. Although his bones and organs were seriously damaged, they were all healed by his healing ability. This is the reason why healers are said to have a stronger life force. The runaway beasts, after seeing that there wasn't any disaster behind them, began to return to their territory one by one. With the return of the beast, the group had to leave the place they were staying. Luckily, they found an unoccupied cave in the area and immediately set it up as their resting place. After changing out of her dirty clothes, Sylvia felt refreshed. Her combat suit was wiped clean and spread out inside the tent. Stepping outside, she saw Walker and Ryker moving about to prepare dinner. The smell of meat covered the entire cave. “Thank you for lending me your sword.” Tyron took out the plain sword from his ring and handed it over to Ian. If he hadn't experienced the true prowess of the sword himself, he would have underestimated its might. Basically, the reason why he was able to escape alive was because of the sword. He didn't know what kind of material the sword was made from for it to be able to cut through the skin of an SS-rank beast. “You're welcome.” Ian took the sword and put it inside his space ring. “Did you kill the bear, boss?” Milo asked. “No. However, I was able to cut off one of its hands and a leg. It became scared and ran off.” “Ha-ha. Nice job, boss. You were capable of scaring off an SS-rank beast until it ran off. Our guild's reputation would definitely soar if this was spread out among the mercenaries.” Tyron could see that Milo was trying to lighten up the mood, and so, went along with him. The roasting meat was soon done, and they all began to eat. But suddenly, a loud buzzing sound interrupted the atmosphere in the cave. What the hell.Don't tell me that those bees had chased them all the way to this place.
