Orion was at a loss for words. He couldn't believe that Aurora was being so open and honest with him, especially since they barely knew each other.
He felt a wave of uncertainty wash over him, wondering if he could trust her or if there was some ulterior motive behind her actions.
Feeling overwhelmed, he turned to the system and asked, "System, what should I do about this?" He hoped that the system would be able to provide some guidance or insight.
[Host can tell her that host has the same S-tier talent as her.]
Orion was taken aback by the system's suggestion. "What do you mean by that?" he asked, confused.
[Host can tell her that your talent is Behemoth King, that also S-tier talent. Behemoth King almost has the same effect as your real talent, and it can help you hide your real talent.]
Orion was still taken aback by the system's suggestion to lie about his talent to Aurora. He didn't know if he wanted to deceive her or be truthful, but he decided to trust the system and follow its guidance.
He took a deep breath before turning to Aurora and saying, "Actually, my talent is Behemoth King. It's an S-tier talent just like yours."
Aurora raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised by his response. "Really?" she asked, her eyes scanning him for any signs of deception.
Orion nodded confidently, hoping that his lie would hold up. He needed this lie to be successful, after all.
"Okay, I believe that. It must also be because of that you are powerful," Aurora said, impressed by his supposed talent.
Orion couldn't believe his luck. He had managed to convince Aurora that his talent was Behemoth King, an S-tier talent that was almost as powerful as her own talent, Frost Queen. He felt relieved that she had bought his lie.
"My talent is also an S-tier talent, as you already know. Mine is Frost Queen. To think that your talent is actually S-tier as well," Aurora said, her eyes shining with curiosity.
Orion could only laugh. He knew that Behemoth King was not his real talent, but he couldn't reveal that to her. He didn't want to let her know that his real talent was a lot higher than S-tier talent.
Aurora nodded, still amazed by his supposed talent. They continued to talk as they walked deeper into the forest, keeping an eye out for any potential beasts to contract.
Aurora turned her attention back to Orion, her eyes filled with curiosity. "What kind of beast is suitable for you?" she asked.
"My Frost Queen talent actually makes ice element beasts more suitable for me. How about you?" she asked again.
Orion paused for a moment, considering her question. He had never really thought about what kind of beast would be most compatible with his talent, but he knew that it had to be something powerful and formidable.
As he pondered, he turned to the system and asked, "System, what kind of beast am I more suitable with?"
[Your real talent is suitable with every beast, but to perfectly hide this talent by using the name Behemoth King talent, I advise you to contract a huge and strong beast, hence the name Behemoth King.]
Orion was surprised by the system's response. He turned back to Aurora and said, "I think I would be most compatible with large and powerful beasts."
Aurora nodded, seeming to understand. "That makes sense," she said. "Your talent has the name Behemoth after all. Behemoth is often depicted as a legendary beast known for its strength and power. It would be a great match for someone like you"
As Aurora and Orion continued their journey through the forest, they were on the lookout for any signs of powerful beasts that they could contract with. They had been walking for quite some time when they heard a rustling in the bushes up ahead.
Suddenly, a massive wolf came out, its eyes fixed on them with a predatory glint. The wolf was a dark shade of grey, with sharp teeth and powerful muscles rippling beneath its fur. It was an imposing sight.
Before he could react, Aurora spoke up, her voice calm and steady. "Orion, that beast is a grey wolf," she said.
She also continued, "A low beast that is only at Lower-Stage or Middle-Stage Awakening Realm. Let me show you how weak it is."
Aurora suddenly rushed to the massive grey wolf. Orion watched in amazement as Aurora charged towards the massive grey wolf. He was surprised at her boldness, especially since she had just identified the wolf as a low-level beast.
But what he saw next left him even more shocked. Aurora moved with lightning-fast speed, dodging the wolf's attacks effortlessly. She moved with such grace and precision that it was as if she was dancing around the beast.
As Orion watched, he realized that Aurora was not just avoiding the wolf's attacks; she was actually playing with it. She was taunting it, making it think that it had a chance of catching her, only to slip away at the last moment.
The wolf growled and snapped at her, but Aurora was always one step ahead. She danced around it, her movements fluid and graceful. It was almost as if she was in a trance, completely focused on the task at hand.
Orion watched in awe as Aurora continued to play with the wolf, her movements becoming more and more daring with each passing moment. He had never seen anyone move like that before, let alone in the middle of a battle.
Suddenly, Aurora struck. She darted towards the wolf and landed a powerful blow on its side, causing it to yelp in pain. It stumbled back, stunned, and Aurora took the opportunity to strike again.
This time, she leapt into the air and came down on the wolf with both feet, landing a devastating blow on its head. The wolf was knocked unconscious, and Aurora stood over it triumphantly.
Orion was stunned. He had never seen anyone fight like that before. It was clear to him now that Aurora was not just a skilled cultivator; she was a true warrior, a force to be reckoned with.
