The situation was extremely miserable.

After wasting so much of their bullets, the last rank 5 giant mutated ants finally fell to the ground.

“Is this the end?” one of the soldiers asked.

They didn’t want to cheer like an idiot and then another giant mutated ant was to pop up from the ground, bringing them another despair. Besides, they were already very tired and no one was sure that they could deal with another rank 5 giant mutated ant.

Jake turned to look at Kyle.

“I don’t think there’s any other rank 5 giant mutated ants.” Kyle shrugged. He couldn’t sense any threat anymore from the giant mutated ants below, so he guessed that there were only two giant mutated ants that managed to reach rank 5.

The others were far below them.

“That’s good.” Jake heaved a sigh of relief. “But do you really want to let that Mr. Yuri get away?”

.....

“He was a bit too far at that time.” Kyle rubbed his chin. Mr. Yuri’s position was blocked by these giant mutated ants from Kyle, so Kyle failed to react in time when he saw that Mr. Yuri wanted to run away.

And that rank 4 wind element was also at late rank 4, nearly reaching the peak. Even though Kyle was already rank 5, he had no interest in showing his power, so he didn’t make any move openly.

“Tsk, the gems inside that box should be the biggest, right?” Jake felt heartache when he thought about it. This was only known to him after he returned and his father explained that the real reason why a lot of people were paying attention to this Research Institute was because it was the biggest hidden Research Institute in this area.

The gems inside were all the finest and the biggest of all.

“Oh, about that.” Kyle looked at Jake but didn’t explain.

Jake was confused but when Kyle appeared in front of his tent at that night, Jake was speechless at the large grey gem that Kyle held in his hand. He seemed to understand why Kyle was not that persistent in chasing after Mr. Yuri now.

“I’ll take it now?” Jake asked tentatively.

“Yes. Take this one first and there’s still another one left in Little Kitty’s space.” Kyle nodded.

Jake’s eyes shone. He grinned. “I’ll soon catch up to you!”

“We shall see about that.”

Kyle returned to his camp and saw Kate who was busy playing with his pillow. It was a pillow that contained warm water inside that he specifically bought back then because he liked it. At this time, he asked Kate to bring bedding equipment and she must have noticed the pillow.

As a result, Kate ended up playing with it.

“Little Kitty, that’s not for you to play around.”

“Meow.”

Kate always wanted to find this pillow in the past because of how funny and cute it is. For her back then, she always wanted to know how it would feel to play around with a pillow that was made of water.

Kyle chuckled. He lifted Kate up from his pillow and then put her on the side. “There are more than one of this pillow that I put in that warehouse. You can take out another one for you to sleep on top of it.”

Sleep on this water pillow?

Kate thought for a moment before deciding to use a normal pillow instead. She didn’t have the confidence of keeping her claws to herself when she was sleeping, so she chose not to use this water pillow.

Seeing the little cat who was ready to sleep again even after sleeping all day long, Kyle chuckled. “Little Kitty, how about if you use that space gem first.”

“Meow?”

It was then Kate recalled the big gem at the size of her fist that she took out from that box. Kate expression turned strange, but she still took out the gem. This damned transparent gem was almost as big as her with rugged shape.

“That’s quite big.” Kyle arched his eyebrows. “How about the lightning one?”

When Kate took out the lightning space, Kyle realized that the size was the smallest because it had been used a lot. Among the space, metal, and lightning, his was the closest to the size of other gems they found.

Sighing, Kyle took the gem.

“Absorb it.”

Kate could only meow weakly and then unwillingly cut the back of her hand and put the gem inside. As it had happened before, the gem melted into her body through her blood. The process was extremely fast and soon, there was nothing that left outside anymore.

At the same time, Kate could feel her space trembled and turned bigger once, twice, thrice, fourth....

Kate’s expression changed slightly.

Was she going to reach rank 6?

The breakthrough to rank 5 last time had been extremely painful because she had forcefully stuffed that dirt because countless giant mutated ants were chasing them. Now that her space was about to get enlarged again, Kate sincerely hoped that it would not be the brutal expansion like last time again.

Kate waited and saw that the space was still accumulating energy.

She laid on her bed, watching Kyle who was meditating and had flashes of lightning around his body from time to time. Unlike her who didn’t have to do anything, Kyle had to make sure that the energy was directed in his body or he would be the one to suffer the damage.

When Kate was about to fall asleep, she saw that the space was expanding into twice of the previous size.

She smiled and then fell into deep sleep.

...

In the morning, Kyle woke up first and looked at his hand. He could clearly sense that both his lightning and fire elements were at rank 5. This had allowed him to grow stronger much faster than before.

Who would have thought that these gems would be very useful?

The thought that there were not many of these gems, Kyle could only sigh. He turned around and saw that the little cat was still sleeping peacefully, so he didn’t bother with her and walked out.

His uncle, General Ryou was there, arranging the soldiers to continue the attack.

Last night, they sealed the entire area with metal element, preventing these giant mutated ants from coming out. Today, they will lift up the metal and continued to deal with these giant mutated ants.

“You’re up very quickly.” General Ryou looked at his nephew and nodded his head. “Well, you don’t exactly have to do anything. This is just cleaning up.”

“How about Mr. Yuri from before?”

“Yuri? It’s estimated that he’ll be condemned by us, but the backing behind him is not something we can touch. Even though we wouldn’t call him again, it’s hard to pull him down.” General Ryou shrugged.

Kyle nodded.

He had already expected this. To be promoted as the highest ranking, Yuri would have to be placed at the very top among everyone. No other people or animals were allowed to rise higher than him.

In other words, they were treating as a pillar of hope.

As for why he was chosen, it might be related to the fact that he was able to advance so quickly before. Kyle himself was not sure.

“Well, clean up and then help us a bit.”

“Ok.”

After that, Jake woke up. He was so happy that he nearly hugged Kyle. Of course, the other party kicked Jake before he could do that.

Jake had advanced to rank 5 with this gem.

He shared the news to Dylan, who made an overnight trip to the frontline while the others were cleaning up these giant mutated ants bit by bit. There were many of these giant mutated ants but they were not strong.

“Where’s mine?” Dylan asked, staring at Kyle.

Kyle let out a faint laugh and handed the blue colored gem. This was the gem that he found in that box since it contained each of all elements. There was still the fire, lightning, and even metal elements inside. Space and healing too since Kate hadn’t took them and only kept them inside her space.

“Good.” Dylan nodded. “Next mission find water.”

“Alright.” Kyle laughed.

Even though the three of them were close to each other, they also have silent rivalries between each other and would naturally not want to be lagging behind the others at all.

Jake grinned. “It seems that we don’t really need to find another team member?”

“If we can find earth element, it would be better.” Kyle passed a look at Jake who could only laugh numbly but said nothing.
