Chapter 13 Give Me 2 Weeks

During the past 2 weeks spent in the Nightmare Beast Island, even as a lot of criminals died, others made names for themselves like Legolas.

The Nightmare Beast Island was a dangerous place that housed powerful monsters up to Grade D, most especially the alpha Nightmare Beasts.

The reason why some of the criminals survived was that they lingered only in the periphery while the Grade D monsters lived at the heart of the island.

Apart from its danger, the Nightmare Beast Island was home to a lot of treasures like the Nightmare fruit that Predator ate but the criminals were too busy worrying about their survival to care about treasures.

After getting Lucky and Predator, with his boundless knowledge as a veteran Summoner, Legolas started his journey of training his beasts.

In just 2 weeks, he was able to level up Predator so much that despite being just 2 years old, he was now able to stand his ground against some of the strongest Grade F beasts on the island.

Apart from clashing with beasts, Legolas also clashed with the other criminals and this was where he got his new nickname of Young Nightmare.

He had a Nightmare Beast, he was young, and sincerely, his feats already struck terror in the hearts of other criminals which motivated his nickname.

Having captured 8 criminals already, he was already recognized as one of the most dangerous criminals on the Island. Now that he had a bit of a reputation, he finally decided to start implementing his plan of escaping the island.

After he spoke with the criminal, a meeting was arranged and 30 minutes later, he was seated before one of the Gang Leaders of the criminals on the island.

The powerful bald Grade F Pugilist was called Slabhead. He didn't see it as an insult, he rather saw it as a complement for his large and extremely hard head.

"Lord Young Nightmare".

"Lord Slabhead".

The Pugilist didn't care that his guest was a kid. In the supers' world, strength was all that mattered, it was the most respected thing.

"My man told me that you had a plan to escape the island".

"Yes". Legolas smiled.

"Tell me".

Legolas did not leave him hanging. He explained his train of thought to the criminal, and also explained the reason why he came to meet him.

"Unlike you, I don't know the other criminals well. I want you to serve as my middleman who will explain my plans to them and compel them to join".

"What makes you think I'll agree to your plan?" Slabhead narrowed his eyes.

"Because it is your better chance at survival". Legolas smiled. "This is your 3rd time here, you survived your 1st and 2nd, but you and I know that nothing is set in stone. Just one encounter with a Grade D beast is all it takes for you to lose it all".

The bald Pugilist took a deep breath. "I have to admit that your plan is sound but it will not work".

"There are 2 Grade E superhumans on the island, they are the defacto leaders. Without their approval, nothing you say stands".

Legolas kept his smile. "I know, that is why I have another plan".

"Tell them that in 2 weeks, I will become a Grade E Summoner".

"…" The Pugilist scratched his head. "What?"

"Give me 2 weeks, I will be a Grade E Summoner then".

Legolas stood up the next moment without allowing Slabhead time to react. "I will fulfill my part of the plan, make sure to fulfill yours".

"W-wait…"

Legolas was gone before he could fully vocalize a word.

Slabhead scratched his bald head again. "Becoming a Grade E Summoner in 2 weeks?" He turned to face his man. "Is that kid drunk?"

…

After returning to his cave, Legolas evaluated his options.

His bold talk of becoming a Grade E Summoner in 2 weeks was not said on a whim. Fulfilling it under such a time limit was hard but nowhere impossible. If he played his cards right, he could achieve it.

Another reason for his confidence was Lucky and Predator's outrageous growth speed. Combining luck and infinite potential was really a messed-up cheat.

He believed that both of them would get to the Grade E realm even faster than him, and this was a good thing since it would aid his escape.

After making plans in his mind, he slept to rest for a few hours before waking up. Once he was up, the grind continued as they fought and killed beasts.

Also, that day, he released the 8 criminals that he captured as a show of goodwill and his sincerity to Slabhead the Gang leader.

As the days counted, Predator showed even more promise as he continued getting stronger and stronger. Being a Star Fox, though Lucky also grew, she didn't get offensive abilities yet due to her bloodline limitation.

Legolas guessed that she would only become a fighter after maybe her first evolution that would awaken the primordial powers in her.

As Legolas trained with his pet and his contracted beast, in the blink of an eye, a week already passed and both Lucky and Predator did not disappoint his expectations. Both finally became Grade E beasts.

To Legolas's surprise, after their grade level up, only Predator's was smooth sailing. For some reason, Lucky's evolution stalled as she was left in a coma.

For the next few days, he had to take care of the comatose Lucky while still hunting and training with Predator. 2 days before the 2-week mark, Legolas leveled up again to level 20 and finally received his notification.
