His speed was so fast Rory barely caught a glimpse before he vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go too,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix immediately summoned his mech, pulled her inside, and sped after Xarion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the forest, Jasper was fighting with everything he had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rank Ten beast—enhanced and trained by the Insectoids—was far more vicious than an ordinary one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper’s massive purple-black serpent form was riddled with wounds. Blood soaked his scales—some his own, some the beast’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xarion arrived, he saw that the two were already locked in a frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He observed for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper wasn’t in immediate mortal danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, there were signs of a breakthrough. So Xarion did not intervene. He simply leaned against a tree and watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hidden high among the branches, Aren saw Xarion’s arrival and quietly drifted down from his perch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good. With that one here, he no longer needed to stand guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to return to Rory when he saw Nix’s Rank Eleven mech descending—and Rory stepping out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Female Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flicked his pink tail and bounced toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory had just climbed down when she spotted Cotton Candy at her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cotton Candy? Why are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She scooped him up and lightly tapped his head. \"Don’t run around. It’s dangerous here, you know that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been so worried about Jasper that she’d forgotten the little fluffball entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After scolding him, she hurried toward Xarion, still clutching Cotton Candy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she saw Jasper below, locked in combat—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jas—\" She clamped a hand over her mouth, afraid her voice might distract him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood covered his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart twisted painfully. \"Xarion, help him!\" she urged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion straightened and said calmly, \"He’s using this Rank Ten beast to break through. Female Master, this is a rare opportunity. He can still endure. I don’t need to act yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that was it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood beside Xarion, clutching Cotton Candy tightly, eyes fixed on Jasper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His scales were flying loose. His enormous body was torn and battered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he kept fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers tightened in her clothes. Sweat beaded along her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion glanced at her pale face and gently drew her into his arms. \"Don’t be afraid,\" he murmured. \"I won’t let him die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was deep and steady, grounding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory looked up at him, her racing heart slowly calming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then... The beast let out a shrill cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper’s massive serpent body coiled around it, tightening. His long venomous fangs pierced deep into the creature’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rank Ten beast thrashed wildly, trying to fling him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the venom spread rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its movements slowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And finally, with a deafening crash, the giant body collapsed into the valley floor, carving a massive crater into the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jasper!\" Rory finally shouted his name. She shoved Cotton Candy into Nix’s arms and ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper turned toward her voice. His enormous serpent body shimmered and shifted back into human form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory... I did it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had broken through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted a trembling hand toward her... And collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jasper!\" Rory reached him just in time. Tears welled in her eyes at the sight of his blood-soaked body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately pulled out one of Yuel’s seven-petaled flowers and fed it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The translucent blossom dissolved against his lips. Before her eyes, his wounds began closing, healing rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t wake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it not enough?\" Panic rising, Rory crushed several of Yuel’s leaves, mixing them with water and feeding them to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One leaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She fed more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel had plenty of leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even after more than a dozen, Jasper remained unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached for more, but Xarion finally stopped her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Female Master. That’s enough. If you keep feeding him, he’ll burst from over-saturation. He’s not waking because he exhausted himself in the battle. Let him sleep. He’ll recover in a few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relief flooded her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You could have said that sooner!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn’t ask,\" Xarion replied blandly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, if Jasper hadn’t been on the verge of being overfed to death, Xarion wouldn’t have said anything at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory narrowed her eyes suspiciously at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once she was certain Jasper was safe, she relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nix, carry him back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She instructed Xarion to extract the Rank Ten beast core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hide. The bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of it was valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were bringing everything home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at the rest cabin, Nix carefully laid Jasper down and even changed out his torn, blood-soaked clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry and wake up,\" he muttered. \"You finally broke through.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they could finally bond with Rory. That was the best part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Rory entered the room, she looked at the sleeping Jasper and said softly, \"I’ll stay with him. You go rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix nodded. \"I’ll be right outside. Call me if you need anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he stepped out, he eagerly opened his communicator and secretly created a new group chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He added Vincent and Yuel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He named it, with zero subtlety: \"Bonding Strategy Discussion Group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent and Yuel stared at the group name in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent: [Nix, aren’t you supposed to be on A3 with Rory? What are you doing?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix typed rapidly: [Brothers!
