Miriam felt confused, she looked at her surroundings and didn't honestly knew what was happening anymore. Ryujin seemed angered, as he roared back at the thugs surrounding everyone, his aura of water seemed powerful, and it shaped like raging ocean waves, making his little body seem even more fierce than it originally looked like.

She didn't knew why she was being assaulted originally, but quickly realized that it could be because Ryujin looked like a very valuable monster pet! Dragon-type monster pets were very rare and often considered legendary as they always have a lot of potential to even become Regional-Class if raised over many years with premium food and other resources invested into them…

This was perhaps the reason in her mind. But aside from that, there was another reason, the reason that the Lord Black Eye had… after all, he realized she was special, and what he called a "fragment", which seemed to be some type of person that was very powerful and important.

He wanted her and the dragon, at all costs, so he employed a large quantity of his forces, dozens of thugs with strong monster pets and packed with items to make them even stronger…

Miriam thought that they wanted Ryujin, but she had also become a precious "item" they wanted… without knowing this, she was willing to fight as well, but it seemed that Frank wanted to take care of the situation.

And she saw the gentle and nice Frank change, his attitude had changed, and he seemed more than just a gentlemanly aristocrat that had always a good life since he was a child, like he made himself look to be, but he looked like a man that had gone through many challenges, and became a completely different person when he went "serious".

Just who… was he?

Within the mind of Miriam, she couldn't help but grow more admiration for this man, whose aura exuded an incredible quantity of elements converging together, it felt as if he had the power of a monster instead…

However, he had decided to not act for "the good of the world" for some reason, and decided to bring forth two monster pets she had seen before, but out of his very shadows!

She had never seen such a thing before, she had never seen anyone being actually capable of manipulating shadows like this, perhaps monsters could do it, but humans at the stage of mere mortals as she thought Frank was? That shouldn't be possible…

However, Frank was way more than he made himself up to be, spreading his shadows, which he used as some sort of storage to bring out two monster pets that he considered more than enough to fight against the thugs.

These were two small dragons, one resembled a long serpent covered by golden scales, a serpentine Asian dragon with a long golden mane and golden horns, and then a small European-looking black dragon, pitch black, even his eyes, tongue, and horns were all claw, this was Zhulong and Onyx respectively! However, the thugs didn't see them as much, they were just baby dragons.

At the end, baby dragons had a lot of potential, but most couldn't go further than Infant-Class in levels of strength. This is why they required so much attention and resources to grow stronger, but now, these two dragons were already grown-ups long ago, they were just in their compact forms…

If they truly unleashed their dozens of meters big true forms, they would cause too much commotion and might even end up destroying entire houses around them, so Frank told them to remain small.

"Hah! Those are just baby dragons… No matter what kind of monster you are… Those little things won't be able to fight against all of us together!" said the thug leader. "Now, fight!"

All the monsters of all shape sand sizes unleashed elemental auras from within as they connected to the mana of their masters, an enormous army of monster pets began to run towards Frank and his two monster pets, while Gwendolyn and Miriam stood behind him…

Meanwhile, within a different area of the Riverside city, a man with deep black eyes looked into the scene projected to him through a special artifact. His robes covered his entire body, as a hood covered most of his scarred face, a face scarred by the claws of the many beasts he had to fight once in the past…

"Interesting… This guardian of hers… It indeed quite unique…" He said. "His Monsters… They're not what they seem. They're somehow able to shapeshift and change their appearance to make them less threatening…"

The man spoke words out of his mind, it seemed that he called Frank the "guardian" and just by looking, he immediately was able to tell that Frank's monsters, Zhulong and Onyx, were not truly what they seemed to look like.

He was a man that didn't seem to care as much as he made others believe, and he was already expecting his thugs to get crushed, but he wanted to see how they get crushed, and how they will end… He wanted to see what this new "guardian" could be capable of… and what he might be able to offer to him.

As a man with incredible powers as he was, he found such things as amusing, and looked forward to see if he could be of any good addition to his collection…

Yes, a collection of monsters and trainers he held.

"I wonder if this particular guardian would be of any interest to the boss… Well, we'll see how far he can go… if things end badly for him, I could go there and finish him off…" he said. "Although prioritizing the tournament is something I must do, so perhaps risking it to defeat him wouldn't be a good thing."

The man had already several plans happening as of now, and he was not willing to die pointlessly. But as he liked to be, he watched and spectated what this new foe could truly be capable of…
