John Wicked: Endlessly Evolving My Pet Monsters-Chapter 20: Making A Decision

"Hello."

"You're the guy from that pro camp, eh? What brings you here?" the brown-haired, lean-figured boy curiously asked.

The red-haired girl and red-haired boy who were cutting up bowls from the wood and insulating them with fire-resistant leaves also paused their work and looked at him.

John looked at the girl and said in a polite and requesting tone, "I need your help to save a friend."

"You need 'her' help specifically?" the red-haired boy narrowed his eyes. "I know my sister is attractive, but don't you dare scheme anything."

John raised his arms as he wryly smiled, "Relax. I have a female friend who needs help."

"What happened?" the girl asked.

"She got frostbite on her body, and it needs to be purified properly and carefully. The ice power is stored, so you need to use soul energy in a gentle and controlled manner. Otherwise, she would have internal bleeding and more damage."

The girl blinked before shaking her head. "I know what happened to her. She must have trained in a very cold spring with spirit power and given it ice power. Sorry, but I can't risk helping her because my control isn't good enough to remove ice power from within. Just send her out. No student can heal her here with a 100% guarantee."

"And I doubt there's anyone with a monster pet with a skill to help her," the red-haired boy said. "Not many monsters possess a purify-type skill at Bronze-rank. Even if there are, you won't find them soon enough."

"Yeah, you're either an Ice-based, Light-based, or a Fire-based purify-type skill, but you won't find it anytime soon," the girl nodded.

John frowned. It was true that Yuna needed to get help within an hour or she would drop into critical condition.

Sun Fox actually had a chance to acquire a purify-type skill, but Yuna's Sun Fox didn't awaken it during her growth in Bronze rank.

Skills would awaken based on the activities, circumstances, and other factors affecting monsters. If Yuna had trained Sun Fox in ice water when it was in Young-stage, then it could have had a chance to awaken a purify-type skill upon growing to the next stage.

"Just send her out. It's the best decision," the brown-haired boy said.

"Yeah, it looks like that's the only option," John said with a wry smile.

John returned to the camp and entered Yuna's shack.

Sun Fox inside was near her, keeping the shack warm while anxiously watching Yuna.

When John arrived, the fox immediately gave a low-sounding cry of pleading as Yuna's condition wasn't improving.

"She'll be fine."

John sat beside Yuna before he put his right hand's fingertips, coated with minuscule soul energy, on her cheek and gently rubbed it.

Yuna's eyes slowly opened, weakened and tired.

"Jo...John..."

"Reckless dummy..." John sighed and kind of felt the blame as well since she did such a reckless thing after watching him.

"Listen, you have to exit or you'll die. Come on, use your wristband."

Yuna's eyes widened as her brain surged and she exerted herself.

"N-No! I-I can't!"

"M-My chance-" Yuna's face suddenly paled further before a trail of blood oozed out of her mouth.

"Stop, just sleep! Oh my god," John frowned and almost cursed out loud. Yuna was exerting herself when she shouldn't!

Sun Fox cried out.

"H-Help please..." Yuna mustered out the words before straight up fainting.

John groaned.

He got an Abyssal Darkwind Eagle because of her and also got an additional fruit from her for Alfred's evolution.

She had already helped him more than he had, and judging by her recklessness and her words just now, she didn't want to quit.

'It's true that this opportunity wouldn't come again, but she is a top regional merchant's daughter, so surely she can get a spot in one of the ruling sects.'

'Why does she have to sound so desperate to stay in this competition?' John thought, frustrated.

Sun Fox was panicking because Yuna's condition was worsening fast now that she exerted herself in her current state.

John looked at her face and reached out to her wristband.

But her closed eyes just forced out two trails of tears, halting his hand.

'Is it that important for you to fucking stay in this event?'

Clenching his fist, John took a deep breath. "Fuck it."

'My conscience is clear. I need to help her.'

John was confident he could purify her frostbites and recover her. He had been training in soul energy control ever since he could feel it and produce it first in his body, which was why he could do things other kids his age couldn't.

While they were playing in the mud, he was fucking training at a corner because he just couldn't behave and act like kids his age.

"Starry, give me a strand of your hair and light up a small fire above it. I need to burn the clothes around the part of the clothes that are merged into her frostbite spots."

'First, I need to do something about her internals.' John put his hand on her chest and infused strands of soul energy inside before closing his eyes.

That spot broke when she exerted herself. The ice energy from her frostbite spots leaked out and injured her.'

'Let's fix this first.'

With focus, John could feel the parts where his soul energy strands flowed and could make a distinction between everything.

With his soul energy, he redirected the spreading ice energy back to the broken frostbite spot and sealed it.

'I'll start with this spot. It's right in the middle of her stomach, and most dangerous,' John frowned before he calmed himself and entered full focus mode.

Once he cleared that spot, which had the most amount of ice energy, he would be able to easily handle the other spots.
