When the Devil Serpent gave its life core to Leo, it thought that Leo was just a bumpkin who didn't even know about the Life Core until the Devil Serpent explained him.
Hence, it was very sure that Leo didn't know about the method to make it into his beast companion.
However, to its shock, Leo had actually turned it into his beast companion.
'I thought I would launch a sneak attack and kill him in a single blow before taking back my Life Core, now that plan is useless.'
It would be useless now because if it killed Leo, it would die along with him.
'What's more, if that brat has a revival ticket, then I will be dying in vain. I think I should accept my fate.'
The Devil Serpent shook its snake head in disappointment for becoming Leo's beast companion.
"Here, you can have your Life Core. I don't have any use for it now."
Leo was feeling happy as he casually threw the Life Core at the Devil Serpent because Leo could already sense his control over the Life Core of the Devil Serpent.
As long as he thought about it, he could instantly kill the Devil Serpent with a simple thought.
'Hiss~'
The Devil Serpent hissed at its terrible fate and swallowed its Life Core.
"Now, let's go and collect the Moonstone Roses. Show me the way."
Since Leo no longer needed to worry about the Devil Serpent, he asked it to show the way to the place where he could find the MoonStone Roses.
"Master, the Moonstone Roses are surrounded by hundreds of Devil Moon Wolves. Even though their strength is around low-level and mid-level legend grade, their numbers are scary."
The Devil Serpent's previous excitement was nowhere to be seen as it slowly explained the difficulties in collecting the Moonstone Roses.
"So, what then? I have to collect them to clear the floor."
Just because the Moonstones Roses were guarded by hundreds of Devil Moon Wolves doesn't make Leo stop collecting them.
What's more, their strength was only low and mid-level of the Legend grade. Leo was confident in taking care of them just like how he took care of the Devil Fishes.
Moreover, currently, he even has a pet whose strength is at peak legendary grade. Hence, Leo was even more confident in clearing the floor without any problem.
"I know…hiss."
The Devil Serpent hissed at Leo as it explained, "I need some time to recover from the injuries you inflicted on me. Once I recover from them, I can clear a way for you to collect the Moonstone Roses."
In the Devil Serpent's view, even though Leo had a weird power to reduce his opponent's strength, it believed it would be difficult for Leo to collect the Moonstone Roses that were guarded by hundreds of Devil Moon Wolves.
While fighting the Devil Moon Wolves, if Leo were to die, it would also die along with him. Therefore, it decided to fully help Leo in collecting the Moonstone Roses.
"Hm…okay."
Leo looked at the wound on his shoulder and nodded his head to rest for some time.
Leo could drink the Diluted Recovery Potion to completely heal himself; however, he thought it would be quite wasteful in doing so.
Since the bleeding has already stopped, Leo decided to wait until he cleared the third floor to get the free healing.
That's right! Every time Leo clears a floor and enters the resting room, all his injuries would be instantly healed and at the same time, his energy would be recovered to his peak state.
Leo had already decided to use the potions or cards only if he had an absolute need for them. If not, then I would save them for later.
Time continued to pass as three hours passed by in a flash as the Devil Serpent recovered from its injuries.
As for Leo, his recovery speed was much slower than the devil serpent. Nevertheless, it was not a big deal for him.
"Let's go."
Soon, the Devil Serpent started guiding Leo in the opposite direction in which Leo was rushing earlier.
During the past three hours, Leo tried to figure out the information about the God Tower and how the Devil Serpent appeared on the third floor.
However, the Devil Serpent gave him the same information he got from Linus regarding the God Tower and as for its appearance, the Devil Serpent replied that as far as it remembers, it was in the God Tower.
Occasionally, it would toy with the challenger before swallowing them while learning about the things like Challenge, Challenger, the floors of the God Tower and it was living on the third floor of the God Tower.
In short, Leo didn't get much useful information from the Devil Serpent. Nevertheless, Leo didn't care much about it as his main goal was clearing the floor.
A human and a serpent of more than 10 meters moved side by side in a particular direction.
"Master, those are the Moonstone Roses you are searching for."
After going through the forest for more than an hour, Leo and the Devil Serpent reached the peak of the mountain.
From there, the Devil Serpent pointed its tail towards another mountain peak where Leo saw white-coloured flowers that were glowing brightly under the moonlight.
"There are more than 20 of them. I can easily clear this floor by collecting them."
Leo became excited while looking at the Moonstone Roses because he could finally complete the clear.
'If not for the Devil Serpent, I would have definitely not found this place in such a short time.'
At the same time, Leo realized that making the Devil Serpent his beast companion was the best thing he did; otherwise, who knows how long it would have taken him to find the Moonstone Roses.
"There are nearly a thousand Devil Moon Wolves."
The entire mountain on which the Moonstone Roses were growing was filled with the Devil Moon Wolves as Leo made a rough estimation of their numbers.
"It's time for the massacre."
Leo stretched his body with a slight smile on his face.
