On the other side of the live stream, Satoshi had been struggling with his new familiar as well. He had no idea what was causing the momentary disconnection he experienced but nevertheless, he could tell that his control over his new familiar was getting stronger and stronger by the second.
Whatever it was that was trying to bring his new familiar back, it was slowly losing. Gaining more confidence, Satoshi focused on his new familiar, assuming that doing so would give him even more control and finally tame the uncontrollable beast.
"Satoshi, we're losing on the left flank, what's going on?" Bruce screamed, bringing Satoshi back to reality. Apparently, he subconsciously told his familiar, Lighter, to stop firing spires of flames at the entities, causing the entities to almost break their formation.
Then again, it was solely thanks to Satoshi that they were doing rather well on the test. In fact, they even thought that Satoshi could single-handedly fend for himself due to how powerful he was.
And he hasn't even used his superpower. He was just relying on one of his tamed beasts he called the Lighter. Bruce and Lucy have their fair share of tamed beast encounters so they knew most of the beast in existence. However, they'd never seen a tamed beast that looked like Lighter.
Well, it resembled a tamed beast that looked like a fiery orb, but its firepower and its aura were entirely different in comparison. Bruce and Lucy could tell that this Lighter is a legendary tamed beast and probably an unknown beast that had never been encountered.
This made them question Satoshi's history since not a lot of Disciples had access to unknown tamed beasts. It should be mentioned that Bruce and Lucy were knowledgeable when it came to tamed beasts. They even know most of the Representatives in existence.
Even then, they had no idea what type of tamed beast Satoshi was using.
While they were thinking about what the deal with Satoshi was, he victoriously exclaimed as if he had just won a war. He pumped his fist in the air as he screamed.
"I got it!" Satoshi announced. "Now, let me show you my superpower."
The moment he completely took over his new tamed beast, he immediately transferred it inside Orb Oboros's dimension. He had no idea what it looked like, and he didn't bother checking it out since he wanted to surprise himself as well along with Bruce and Lucy.
"All right, let's see it then." Lucy returned with a suspicious gaze. She wondered whether Satoshi was still messing with them or not.
"All right, all right," Satoshi raised his hand up in a poor attempt to convince them that he wasn't fooling this time around.
Extending his hand while reenacting a scene straight out of an animated series, Satoshi summoned his new tamed beast by screaming the word that starts with 'hado'. He shouted it so loud and the tamed beast appeared in front of them at the same time.
A thunderous ear-splitting roar reverberated in the air, filling the entire forest. Not only did the Disciples freeze in fear, but even the entities were also reduced to statues when they heard the roar.
There was a new entity that emerged in front of both Bruce and Lucy, causing them to pray inwardly. It was so formidable that the pressure that oozed out from it gave them shivers. They were Disciples, but they knew that they don't stand a chance against the entity in front of them.
Because of the shock that they received, they also accidentally deactivated their skills. Doing so brought the entities back and they resumed their attacks. While Bruce and Lucy were frozen in shock, the entities rushed at them mercilessly.
Once again, the huge entity that appeared in front of them let out a roar before it swiped its gigantic claws at the entities that charged at them. The entities were deleted in an instant, thanks to the huge entity's swipe attack.
The huge entity looked exactly like the other entities, except it was thrice their size and it was more muscular. Instead of standing upright on two feet, the huge entity stood on all fours, like a gorilla. Aside from that, it was evident that the huge entity was exponentially three times more powerful than the normal ones.
Bruce and Lucy glanced at each other before they nodded at each other. Before they could do anything, however, Satoshi immediately realized what they were about to do.
"Stop! That's not your enemy! That's the entity I tamed a moment ago!" Satoshi stopped them short before they attacked the entity. "I'm naming him 'Smolboi' because he looked scary." Satoshi said in a funny manner.
The entity turned to Satoshi with a surprised expression. He couldn't believe that his name was actually so stupid.
"Fine, I'm naming you 'Smol', that should be fine, right?" Satoshi asked, to which the huge entity nodded its head in a defeated manner.
The entity seemed to shake its head while it continued to deal with the smaller entities. Satoshi couldn't believe that its firepower matched the three of them combined.
"Wait... what did you just do? Is that your superpower?" Bruce asked. He couldn't believe his eyes.
Satoshi nodded his head as he settled on one side of the forest. There, he started creating a campfire as if that was the most normal thing to do during a survival test. "The two of you should get some rest as well. We still have three days to go before this survival test concludes."
...
Back at the gathering of Managers,
"What the—" Hermione Ranger exclaimed when she noticed that a huge entity suddenly appeared in front of Satoshi and his team. It was so gargantuan that she was the first one to think about canceling the entire test altogether.
"That's what's going on," Magnus heaved a sigh as he dejectedly pointed at the live stream. "Somehow, that Disciple right there managed to steal a portion of my energy and then replicate it. I mean... that's what my projections should look like on the third day. That was the real final form of my projections." Magnus continued.
"Ah, you mean my Disciple? Yeah, his superpower's super weird. He could turn anything into his tamed beast. Did you know that his most powerful tamed beast is a computer? Crazyyy~" Bucky Barnes casually called out as if what just happened is a normal occurrence for him.
"So you mean to tell me... that he stole a small portion of my energy and then transformed it into a tamed beast. That's crazy, all right." Magnus muttered to himself. "Is there any limit to his superpower? How many tamed beasts does he currently have?"
"I have no idea either. He just goes and tames a couple of things as he pleased. Even I have no idea how many tamed beasts he currently has." Bucky Barnes responded.
Some of the Managers who were listening to the entire exchange couldn't fathom what they just heard. Satoshi's superpower could rival most of the long-time Disciples. Heck, he could even rival the superpowers of some weaker Managers himself!
"Are you sure he's a... human? Is he really a human?" Magnus asked just to confirm.
"That's rude, you know... and racist." Bucky Barnes responded, shaking his head as if that was the last thing he expected Magnus to say.
Clearing his throat, Magnus decided to just leave it be. Who would've thought that the only Disciple who could cancel his forced teleportation would be even more talented than he thought? It just gave him a better reason to really pull him into his team.
"Interesting," Magnus muttered to himself. "Now that I know what's going on, well, not exactly, I'll just leave it be. I won't adjust the difficulty level of anything but I could already tell that it would be a breeze for Satoshi and his team. I couldn't say the same thing to the other Disciples so I couldn't really afford to adjust anything on this survival test."
From the corner of his eyes, he saw that the other Managers were in agreement with what he said. Of course, they witnessed firsthand how difficult it was for their Disciples to survive the steady onslaught of the entities. Even though Satoshi and his team were breezing through it, they knew they couldn't make it harder for them. That would be unfair in more ways than one.
"For now, let's watch over them while they try to survive this. I'm sure they'd hit a roadblock on the second and third day." Magnus told everyone, clasping his hands together.
While one huge entity was enough for them to get through the first day, the second day might be different since the entity was bound to shift into its second form. There was no way the one huge entity could stand a chance against many entities in their second form.
"We'll see about that." Bucky Barnes smirked as he walked away. "I'll grab some drinks for everyone. On me."
"The drinks are free here though..." Hermione Ranger trailed off when she noticed that one of the Managers was eyeing Bucky Barnes in a weird way.
