[Ace POV]

In the end, I didn't have to ponder for long before a somewhat simple idea came to mind. The particular idea of mine was that since Blue couldn't weaken the defence of the already almost dead ape and kill it, then I just had to make the ape even closer to death.

It sounded truly plain and simple, but then again, since the idea had just come to me and I wasn't really familiar with the act of making something more dead than it already was, I could accidentally kill the ape. However, there was no problem if I did that since there were still a few other apes for me to experiment with. And if I still couldn't succeed, there was still time before dawn for me to hunt more monsters, and the true world didn't lack monsters.

As I thought of these things in my head, I slowly brought my hand to the ape's chest and crushed it. This, of course, caused intense pain to the ape, and it would have screamed for sure had I not still had my hand on its face. I paid no attention to its silent cries as I removed the section of the chest I had crushed, revealing its heart.

This action was, of course, very bloody and it made my hand dirty, giving me an uncomfortable, wet sensation. But I had other things to be concerned about. So after I had done all that, and continued to hold the weak ape by the head, I turned to Blue and quickly instructed him.

"Climb its chest and burn its heart," I said at a quick pace, and Blue immediately turned to do what I had just said after understanding my intention.

In a way, we were in a race against time because due to my actions, the ape that initially didn't have much time left now had no time left at all. It seemed like it was only a matter of seconds before the ape died from blood loss and past injuries.

So as I watched Blue release a stream of blue flames into the ape's insides, I wondered if he was going to be able to kill the ape itself before it died from my own actions.

In truth, it wasn't that Blue's flames were weak. I could tell they were way more powerful than mine when I was at level 20, and this said a lot. But even if Blue had a strong flame for his level, quality was still something that couldn't be beaten easily.

As I thought of these things, I felt the ape's resistance slowly weakening, which made me aware that it wasn't long before it died. So I turned to Blue and urged him to increase the intensity of his flames. Although the wails of other apes that saw our actions in my surroundings blocked my relatively low voice, the bond between my tamed beast and I was enough to convey my intentions to Blue.

Blue tried to increase the intensity at which his flames burned, and just a few seconds later, I heard a bell-like sound in my head. I knew this was the primordial telling me I had received the primordial records of the ape. And before I could conclude that Blue was unable to achieve the final kill in the end, another bell-like sound rang in my head, making me believe my previous thought was wrong.

Before assuming anything more, I called out the primordial chronicle in my head, and a few blue panels appeared in front of me. Aside from the usual notifications like acquiring the primordial records of the ape, there was one notification that made me nod my head in satisfaction.

"It works," I muttered as I gazed at the panel in front of me.

There were still many more notifications similar to this, but first...

There wasn't much difference in my status, but Blue's status was much different than the last time I viewed it. For one, it seems like Blue's status was still designed to look like mine, and from what I was seeing, Blue had accumulated 8 level ups just from taking the last kill of the ape just now. It would have been more if Blue had been the one to kill the ape alone, but that was impossible.

The best part of all this was that Blue could now level up with this method. Rather than just being a burden to me, he could be a helper. With this in mind, I willed my thoughts through the primordial chronicle and upgraded Blue's level. Of course, I knew the benefits that Blue would receive if he was still very weak in level, so I only upgraded his level by 5, making him a level 15 creature. I did this to make him stronger and make my work easier.

Screech!

Blue immediately let out a painful screech the moment I increased his level by 5 at once, but it only lasted for a short moment before he started letting out soft screeches that showed the amount of comfort he was now feeling from levelling up.

After this was done, I looked at a little more than a dozen apes lying limp on the ground in my surroundings and turned to Blue to address him.

"You might just be a real monster after this is done, boy."

Screech...

"That took longer than expected, but it ended well in the end, Blue," I said as I rubbed the head of my companion after exchanging the corpse of the last ape in the store.

[Title: Tamed Beast]

[Master: Ace Blaze]

...

Yes, 86 accumulated level ups. This was a very high number, and Blue was the recipient of this due to being carried by me.

In the end, I had to upgrade Blue's level again to make his flames more powerful in order to quickly kill the strong apes before they died of blood loss. The end result showed it was worth it. I didn't know how powerful Blue would be after using all these accumulated level ups, but I could already imagine the image.

For one, I just wondered if something was going to happen when he wanted to level up to level 26. But first...

[Your Tamed Beast [Blue] has levelled up to level 21]

[Your Tamed Beast [Blue] has levelled up to level 25]

[Your Tamed Beast has reached the level required to evolve, so before evolving, your Tamed Beast [Blue] will be unable to level up].

"Well, I expected that," I muttered as I turned to look at Blue, who was still enjoying the effects of leveling up and had grown to half my height at this point. I pondered on how I could evolve him when another panel appeared in front of me.

[With accumulated level ups, you can level up your Tamed Beast into one of the following subspecies of its race]
