As Orion laughed at himself for being too tense, he suddenly heard a low growl coming from the bushes. He tensed up again but quickly regained his composure. He knew that he and Atlas were a powerful team, and they were ready for whatever lay ahead.
Without hesitation, he climbed onto Atlas's back and urged him forward toward the source of the growl. As they approached the bushes, Orion could hear the sound of heavy breathing and the rustling of leaves. He knew that whatever was on the other side of the bushes was not to be taken lightly.
Atlas's massive form crashed through the bushes, causing leaves and twigs to fly everywhere. Orion's heart was pounding in his chest as he scanned the area for any signs of danger.
Suddenly, the bushes began to shake, and Orion could see a massive form moving toward them. His heart was pounding in his chest as he tried to prepare himself for whatever was coming their way.
Then, with a loud roar, a massive bear charged out of the bushes, clearly angered by their intrusion. The bear was at least twice the size of any bear Orion had ever seen before, and he knew that they were in serious trouble.
Without hesitation, Orion shouted out an order to Atlas, "Used Brutal Charge on the bear!" The Iron Hide Rhinoceros obeyed its master's command and charged forward with incredible force. The bear was caught off guard and stumbled backward, its massive body shaking with the impact.
Orion quickly seized the opportunity and urged Atlas to follow up with another attack. He ordered, "Trample it, Atlas!" The Iron Hide Rhinoceros obeyed once again and began to stomp on the bear with its massive hooves. The bear let out a loud roar of pain and fury, but it was no match for the strength and power of Atlas.
Orion could see that the bear was weakening, but he knew that they couldn't let their guard down just yet. He ordered, "Horn Thrust, Atlas!" The Iron Hide Rhinoceros lowered its massive head and charged forward, its sharp horn aimed directly at the bear's chest.
The bear let out a final roar of pain as the horn pierced its flesh, delivering a fatal blow. Its body went limp, and it collapsed onto the ground, its massive form no longer a threat.
Orion dismounted from Atlas and walked over to the bear's body, inspecting it closely. He knew that this would be worth a lot of points. He also looked at the information about the bear through the system.

As Orion examined the bear's body, he could feel a sense of pride welling up within him. He had faced a Third-Stage Warrior Realm beast and emerged victorious. He knew that this would earn him a lot of points, and it would go a long way toward proving himself to the sect.
But as he looked at the information on the Brown Bear, he realized that it was not as strong as he had originally thought. Its realm was Third-Stage Warrior, which was the same as Atlas's realm. It was only a Tier D beast, which was not particularly impressive.
However, Orion knew that this did not detract from his achievement. He had still faced a powerful opponent and came out on top. He turned to Atlas, patting him on the massive shoulder. "You did well, my friend," he said with a smile.
As he stood there, basking in the glow of his victory, he suddenly heard the system's voice in his mind.
[Atlas's strength is great because he trains in the host's beast space which is Primordial World.]
Orion was surprised by the revelation, but he quickly calmed himself down. He knew that his Primordial World was a special place that could enhance any beast he contracted. However, he was surprised to hear just how much Atlas had been strengthened.
"How powerful is Atlas now compared to that Brown Bear just now?" he asked the system.
[Atlas's strength now can be said to be powerful enough to defeat 10 of those Brown Bears easily.]
Orion was astonished by the system's revelation. He knew that Atlas was strong, but he had no idea that his beast had been strengthened to such an extent. He felt a sense of pride welling up within him, knowing that he had contracted such a powerful creature.
He looked at Atlas, his massive form still standing tall and proud. He could see the power emanating from the Iron Hide Rhinoceros, and he knew that they would be a formidable team in any battle they faced.
"It seems that I have underestimated my own talent," he said out loud, a sense of wonder and amazement filling his voice. He looked up at Atlas, his massive Iron Hide Rhinoceros, feeling a sense of gratitude towards the beast that had been his companion on this journey.
Orion had always known that Atlas was strong, but he had never fully understood just how powerful the beast was until now. The fact that Atlas was able to defeat 10 Brown Bears with ease was a testament to the strength and power of the Iron Hide Rhinoceros.
As he stood there, lost in thought, Orion realized that he had been limiting himself. He had always believed that he had to work harder than everyone else to succeed, but now he knew that his talent was exceptional.
