[ Dispel ]
[ -> A skill that allows the host to erase the effect of any skill ]
[ -> The skill whose effect is to be erased should be at most 1 level higher than the 'Dispel' skill ]
Thanks to this skill, the cub didn't self-destruct, and due to that, no one was hurt.
It was a good thing that Shin had such a skill, if he didn't then the consequences would have been very bad.
The cub was completely surprised to see Shin overpowering him and erasing his skills or stealing them.
"Who are you?", the cub asked because of astonishment and confusion.
Of course, Shin would answer that question but before that, he decided to heal the cub and himself because both seemed hurt.
The same was with Terran so it was wise to first heal up before continuing the chatter.
Though, initially, he did reply to the cub with a thing – "I am your friend."
It might have slipped from his mouth or he might have used that to calm the cub, whatever it may be, the cub suddenly teared up even more.
It was as if Shin was looking at a baby tiger that hadn't even reached a state where it couldn't contain its emotions properly.
"Terran, come here…"
Since Shin was now hugged by the cub, he had no choice other than to call Terran to come closer.
Of course, Shin was a bit, only a bit taller than the tiger cub, however, in terms of weight, the cub outdid Shin.
It jumped towards Shin, causing him to fall on the ground while still being hurt.
Though, he didn't push the beast away because she kept crying.
Terran walked closer and asked, "Yes master?"
"Nothing…", that was all Shin said while using the skill Heal.

[ Time: 00:00:05:00 ( 5 minutes ) ]
The 5 minutes timer was probably because of the cub who was much more hurt than Terran and Shin. It was evident with the tons of slashes and cut marks that were present on her body.
Shin thought that it was wiser to wait until they had been healed completely despite the fact that his wounds were healed instantly.
The cub started to feel good as her wounds started to heal. Well, she ended up falling asleep while being on top of Shin.
"Master?"
Five minutes had passed by and everyone was healed, but now Shin was below the cub and was thinking of what to do next.
"Sigh, wait Terran…"
He somehow slowly pushed her towards one of his sides and slowly slide by while making her fall gentle – on the grass.
She didn't wake up from her sleep, in fact, she was in a deep sleep.
"Probably she hadn't slept for quite a long time…"
Young babies tend to sleep a lot which applied to beasts, monsters, and most living beings. So not sleeping for a few hours would be enough to cause such beasts to change their behavior.
Whatever now she was fast asleep so Shin decided to wait there until she woke up.
Terran didn't utter a single word as if he understood what Shin wanted to do.
'Not that I want master to waste time here, but it's better than going towards the south.', Terran said to himself and probably this was the reason because of which he said nothing else.
Shin continuously looked here and there to see where the witch was because according to the map which the elf had given him, the witch's place should be there.
However, the hut which he assumed to be the witch's place was already destroyed and the witch didn't seem to be nearby.
'Did she move to a different place?', Shin wondered.
That could have been a possibility. Since the elves wouldn't leave their places for a long time and coming towards the edge would be synonymous with death, it would have been long since they had visited here.
Of course, that would mean that the news wasn't recent and the chances of the witch moving to a different place would be high.
'Hmm, so we came here for naught?', Shin asked himself.
Well, that wasn't completely true. He actually ended up meeting the cub just because he came here.
If he hadn't come, then probably he would have never met her.
'Let me take a look at her profile…', he thought that it was better to do that instead of wasting time.

Shin took a look at all the stats and was surprised by seeing how different a tiger cub could be.
It was younger than Shin but despite that its weight for more than him. Also, its HP and MP seemed abnormal while thinking about its case.
The Exp that it had was way too less at the same time but despite that, it had leveled up quite a bit.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the cub in front of him could easily give a tough fight when faced with other opponents.
Its skills were ridiculous too – especially the Energy Blast which she used on Terran was powerful enough to almost kill him.
Needless to say, her rank was high too. Even before it had evolved hardly even once, it was level B already.
Shin's intuition was warning him of something – 'If the beast is left alone, then it would definitely become a terrifying monster one day…'
'I can't let that happen.'
Well, killing a foe before it became a threat was the best possible solution, however, Shin had thought about something else entirely.
'My dream is to become a Celestial and eventually get back my human form…'
'However, my dream doesn't end there.'
'I want to build a place where my loved ones will be safe and for that, I need strong men who can defend them and protect them if anything were to happen.'
Yes, he was on the right page, without strength, he couldn't possibly protect all.
'And for that, I need some strong beasts to side me.', he concluded.
'Why don't I raise her?'
'If she is indeed going to be powerful one day, then instead of killing her, I could make her side with me!'
Indeed, instead of killing such a wild and powerful cub, taming would make sense. Also, he couldn't kill such a little kid even if he tried because she would remind him of Aella.
Nevertheless, he thought about taking her with him.
And due to this very decision, his future had another drastic change because an event was soon going to happen which revolved around the cub and the humans!
"…"
It was proper to say that Fate brought him here, after all, he met the second in command of his special squad.
"…"
