Chapter 74: Aqua

{You have finally obtained a Tamed Beast, Abyssal Serpent.}

Without waiting for Kaiju to instruct the Gacha System to expand the information regarding his first tamed beast, the Gacha System already loaded Kaiju with a wall of texts.

{Tamed Beast:

Abyssal Serpent (Corrupted Rank)

Description: An ordinary serpent ascended to Corrupted rank after eating a fruit related to the water element of Herforao’s tree. It has become an Abyssal Serpent, a type of serpent who can live in the depths or bed of the ocean, especially 10,000 and 20,000 feet. All of its abilities are enhanced if it is near water. It is now your tamed beast, so take care of it.

Loyalty: 55%

Abilities:

Tidal Surge: Unleashes a powerful torrent of water capable of sweeping enemies off their feet or breaking defenses. It reduced the enemy’s resistance to cold-based attacks.

Abyssal Shroud: Conjures a thick mist that envelops the area, obscuring vision and muffling sound. The serpent becomes nearly invisible within the mist.

Drowning Grasp: Coils around enemies and creates a sphere of high-pressure water around them, suffocating and crushing them simultaneously.

Hydroclasm: Aqua generates multiple high-pressure water jets, striking enemies with precision and power from a distance.

Ocean’s Will: Temporarily connects to the elemental essence of water, granting the serpent the ability to control nearby bodies of water. It can summon waves, form water shields, or manipulate currents.}

Kaiju hummed in delight, reading Number 5’s abilities. It was overpowered and could work well even with Snow, especially the Hydroclasm, where he could generate multiple-high pressure water jets; Snow could freeze the water jets, making it more impactful and deadly. Without doubt, Number 5 could synchronize with Snow.

However, Kaiju was now conflicted if it was fine to add Number 5 in the battle formation he and his pets worked hard to perfect. If Number 5 was to be added, it would now take some time for Kaiju to adjust.

He ruminated for a while and shook his head. It is easy for Number 5 to adapt and us to him. We still have a week left, anyway. Kaiju thought. He continued to read until he read the Ocean’s Will and quickly thought of Lucy. Lucy was a creation mage, and as far as he recalled, Lucy could create almost every element. She balanced everything, making the main four elements, as her primary elements, and others, such as light, shadow, and ice as secondary. With Lucy’s ability to create water, it would be perfectly in sync with Number 5’s ability.

Kaiju thought for a while. Should I give him to Lucy? He stared at Number 5, seemingly waiting for something with his gleaming aqua eyes.

"What is it?"

"He is obviously asking for a name," said Herforao, rolling his eyes.

Kaiju nodded and tilted his head sideways, pondering.

"I’m really not good at naming." Kaiju glanced at Snow. "I named her Snow because she reminded me of one, even though I have not seen it up close. I named him Little Gorilla because when I saw him, he was just a wounded little gorilla. Of course, now... they have grown up."

Kaiju smiled brightly and then stared at Number 5. "Now, looking at you, you made me recall of a water, so I’m thinking of calling you Aqua, but it is feminine."

Number 5, no, Aqua suddenly shook his head and replied, "I like it, Master!"

Kaiju’s eyes widened and smiled brightly. "If you think so, then that is good."

"It does not care if it is feminine or not, they are not like you, humans."

Kaiju’s eyebrows furrowed, not getting what Heforao meant.

{Congratulations! You have named your tamed beast. Aqua’s loyalty has increased to 65%.

Luck has not played a part. Of course, you are not getting Luck Points.}

Kaiju rolled his eyes and thought, she is at it again. He shrugged.

After pondering for a while, he asked Aqua, "I can recommend you to work with my fellow teammates. She can generate water and with her aid, your power will increase to two, no, perhaps, three fold."

Aqua’s eyes gleamed. He lowered his head, however, and replied, "Don’t you want me in your team, Master?"

Kaiju was stunned. He smiled and said, "No, I just want the best for you. You can shine more if it is in the other hands, so why will I restrict you? Of course, the decision is still in your hands."

Aqua’s worries lifted somewhat. Kaiju then thought of a final push to convince him to follow his suggestion.

"Also, I want you to keep an eye on her. You see, me and Herforao are thinking she might be up to something. You can report to me, but, of course, you have to act like normal. Can you do it?" Kaiju’s grinned.

Aqua’s blue gems gleamed in excitement, nodding his head frantically. "Of course, Master, you can rely on me."

Kaiju nodded. "That’s good. Of course, you don’t have to be so wary of her. We are only suspecting her. She is not bad entirely, you see. Even Snow was her pupil."

Aqua stared at Snow in surprise. He admired Snow for possessing an Ancient bloodline, so when he learned that Snow was under the tutelage of the person he was about to work with, Aqua had a change of mind.

"I see. I will just watch any suspicious actions of her, but I must treat her as my new master, at the same time."

Kaiju was stunned. He stared at Aqua in an ambiguous expression. Why can he easily acknowledge others as his master? I mean, should I still be surprised? Kaiju didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Kaiju said, "Yes, you can learn from her, while keeping tabs of her suspicious actions. Of course, don’t make it too obvious. Just act innocent."

Aqua nodded frantically. He said, "For some reason, I am thrilled to accept this mission, Master. Don’t worry, I will not disappoint you!"

"Of course, I know you will not." Kaiju chuckled. He then swept his gaze to other serpents–some had a distant gaze, some had a curious gaze, obviously the former had deep attachments to Herforao, while the latter knew what Herforao meant.

He said to Aqua, "I am even thinking of choosing the other two to be a companion of my friends, too. Of course, if they are
