What do you mean I've traveled to worlds geared towards children?

It is precisely because of these preconceived notions that people are not worried about this at all.

"...Speaking of which, doesn't anyone care about Master Tiger?"

Ron stroked his chin and scrolled through the comments section again.

Everyone's attention was focused on Jiang Chen's transformation and the newly appeared fifth person, but few people really paid attention to Master Hu, who had finally been purified of darkness but was taken back by the demon god to be strengthened.

However, although Master Tiger looks miserable, it's not hard to guess from the conversation between the Demon God and Master Tiger that it was all Master Tiger's own doing.

Knowing what a demon god was, he actively sought out the demon god to obtain its power.

He is not entirely innocent.

Perhaps it's because of this factor that people don't feel much sympathy for him.

Ron had no sympathy for Master Tiger. What worried him was whether Master Tiger's second enhancement by the Demon God would pose a threat to the Phantom Beast Warriors.

With a Tiger Master who has been enhanced twice, plus the mysterious fifth person, if the two of them attack together... Ron and his team will probably have a really tough battle ahead.

It seems that in reality, the study of magic should not be neglected either.

Ron thought to himself, stretching and sitting up in bed.

"what?"

As soon as he sat up, Ron noticed that something was wrong.

On his first two trips into and out of the Beast Continent, Ron woke up in the morning, which was exactly the time he usually woke up.

So naturally, Ron would subconsciously assume it's daytime upon his return.

But the truth is, it's pitch black outside now, and the sun isn't even up, let alone showing a glimmer of dawn.

This proves that it is absolutely the dead of night.

Ron frowned slightly and turned to look at the wall clock.

The clock hands were at one o'clock in the morning, five hours before Ron went to sleep.

This wasn't his usual wake-up time; it seemed more like the time he'd get up at night to use the restroom.

"what's the situation?"

Scratching his head, Ron opened the system panel, wanting to see if the system could provide any answers.

But as usual, the mute system remained silent, offering only two options: 'Enter Simulation' and 'Play Show'.

Is there something wrong with the system?

Ron was completely baffled. After thinking it over, he lay back down on the bed, ready to take a nap.

But less than three seconds after lying down, Ron immediately sat up again:

Something's not right. Something's definitely not right.

Although everything was peaceful and nothing happened during the night, the simulation system, which had always made me wake up on time in the morning, woke me up in the middle of the night this time.

This proves that something has definitely happened, or... something is about to happen!

Ron's gut feeling told him that this was the case, and he had to get to the bottom of it, or he wouldn't be able to sleep!

Chapter 44 The First Transformation in Reality

What exactly is wrong?

Why did the system wake me up at this time?

Ron couldn't understand it, so he walked to the window and looked outside.

The night was deep, and the moonlight shone down from above, covering the entire courtyard and allowing Ron to see everything inside clearly.

From the outside, nothing seemed out of the ordinary; the entire Monkford Manor was enveloped in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Apart from... a few people at the manor gate.

"Ok?"

Ron looked in that direction and saw a maid dressed as a maid leading Denise and Harwick away from the manor at the gate.

Denise is naturally the eldest daughter of the Monkford family.

And Harwick... was a boy with superior magical talent who came from the same generation as Ron, also from the refugee community.

He is also one of the subordinates who have been 'bought off' by Denise, although that's what he considers himself to be.

Ron and Harwick had a fairly good relationship.

Firstly, they were from the same hometown; secondly, they were of similar age; and thirdly, their qualifications were also quite similar. Ron and Harwick could barely be considered friends.

But that's all there is to it.

Normally, whatever Denise and Harwick plan to do should be none of Ron's business.

But... it's definitely not normal for these two to sneak out so late.

Moreover, Ron had never seen the maid who was with Denise before.

As the eldest daughter of Viscount Monkford, Denise has her own personal maid, whom Ron has met before.

She is a short-haired maid named Finney, who is gentle and considerate. Every day after etiquette class, she tells stories to Denise and the other children.

Ron was very impressed with her.

So logically speaking, even if Denise really had some idea and wanted to sneak out in the middle of the night, the one who should have gone with Denise was this maid named Finney.

Instead of some complete stranger.

Something's not right...

Ron muttered something to himself, then squinted and carefully examined the situation of Denise and Harwick.

Although the distance was great, perhaps it was the physique of a phantom beast warrior that benefited Ron, allowing him to barely see the details on Denise's side even without using his mental power to probe.

It was only when he looked that Ron realized that Denise and Harwick were not in a good state!

Their eyes were lifeless, their faces expressionless, like lifeless dolls.

They've been manipulated!

Ron guessed this instantly.

So what should we do? Call for help now? No, they're about to leave the manor, calling for help now would definitely alert them.

Going to the people in Monkford territory to deliver the message would also take time, and the maid might have already disappeared with the two children while Ron was searching for her.

And even if Ron were to look for someone, he wouldn't know who to contact...

Why not just ignore it?

Ron drew the curtains, wanting to pretend he hadn't seen anything and not get involved in this mess.

After all, he hadn't taken his revenge yet, and he didn't have much power. Protecting himself first and not getting involved in any incidents was the best choice.

but……

Ron didn't think about it for long.

From the moment I saw Denise and Harwick being kidnapped until now, it seems like a long time has passed, but in reality, I didn't even have three seconds to think about it.

Ron made a quick decision, placing his hand on his chest, where the blue wolf head near his collarbone emitted a faint glow.

"...I hope my decision wasn't a mistake."

Ron muttered to himself, and then the faint light completely enveloped him.

In the real world, the power of the Mythical Beast Warriors shines forth for the first time!

……

creak.

The manor gates were opened from the inside.

The door, which hadn't been repaired in a long time, creaked, causing the maid at the front to frown.

She subconsciously turned her head to look behind her, and seeing that the two children behind her had not woken up and had not attracted anyone else, she turned back and continued to walk forward.

"Even though I've already left, why do I still feel a little uneasy?"

The maid frowned and muttered to herself.

The sound of the manor gate being opened shouldn't have been enough to make the maid so alert.

After all, she was a high-level thief and a low-level mental mage. After several days of lurking, she had mentally manipulated most of the servants in the manor, ensuring that no one would approach the manor gate tonight.

Especially Denise and Harwick, who were targeted by the maid, were subjected to more than one mental suggestion by the maid.

They certainly won't easily break free from the state of mental suggestion just because of this little commotion.

Therefore, the maid shouldn't be so wary.

For some reason, the maid felt uneasy, as if something was about to happen.

It's strange. I'm a high-ranking thief. Without Viscount Monkford's intervention, who could threaten me?

Moreover, she is now outside the manor's boundaries, and the magical barrier of Monkford territory can no longer protect her. She shouldn't be so nervous.
