At around midnight, Black returns to our camp. He seems tired. He was the main fighter to hunt down the giant crow-mok after all. Moreover, his girlfriend was injured. He must be worried.

“Hey guys, the day is quite draining. Any injury on your side?” Black asked as soon as he entered our camp.

“No, we didn’t suffer any injury. Just short on information about them.” I replied. And then, I made Rey recounted what we have already discussed.

“If it is so, I have new information for you guys” said Black “It is just like you guys have suspected. WatchDog had been using a sensory type soul fusion. It’s their tribe’s trademark soul fusion called vision transfer. I don’t know from which mok that ability comes from. But I do know about how it work.”

“You guys know that each of them has a dog-mok. The vision transfer soul fusion makes them able to see what their dogs can see. I mean, they can see what their pet mok is seeing.”

“Do you mean all of them have vision transfer soul fusion?” asked Rey.

“Yes, it is their trademark” answered Black immediately.

“Then, according to your information, we already know two of their soul fusion ability. Any information on the final soul fusion?” I asked.

“At the moment, I don’t know. None of them tell me about their third soul fusion. Even Glyph doesn’t know. I’ve tried asking her.” answered Black.

I think it is impossible for Glyph to not know about their third soul fusion ability. What is the point in taking the unknown entities to protect their tribe chief’s son. It is too risky from my POV(point of view).

May be Black is blind by his love. Or may be he feels there is something fishy just as we do. But it is difficult for him to point that out to his girlfriend?

“Hey Black, please don’t be offended for my question. Do you believe Glyph doesn’t know?” I told him my opinion.

“Rest assured. I know where your suspicion comes from. If I were you, I would be suspicious too. I don’t feel offended. I think I suspect that she is not telling the truth. But I can’t do a thing. I hope she is not lying to me” he answered with a light tone. It seems he is rational but he trusts Glyph completely.

‘ That is the problem with you guys, Love birds. It’s too bothersome. If you were not in love, you wouldn’t be blind that much. It’s better to be single. You know? ’ I was thinking.

“So, we can assume that SaberTooth and Glyph also have vision transfer soul fusion?” Rey asked.

“I think you can assume like that. Besides, I heard SaberTooth mentioned they have spirit transfer soul fusion. He said it unintentionally. EagleEye said that it is just another name of vision transfer. But according to their manners and facial expression, it seems like it is their third soul fusion. I’m not sure. Glyph was resting. So, I didn’t ask her too much. I worry that my questions might tire her more.” Black answered.

“Okay, let’s end our discussion about the riders. Let’s move to ourselves. As you know, all three of us are rockeys. Aside from Rey’s bat-mok soul, all we have are yellow monkey mok souls. That’s all we have. What about you?” I told Black about our strength and ask him about his. Since we are working for him and we are working together, knowing each other’s ability is necessary for better efficiency.

Until now, I was forgetting to ask him about his fusion. That’s what an ignorant man is about. That reminds me of Rey’s mother. Well, anyway.

“You have seen two of my fusions.” Raising his left hand, Black continue “Left hand blade change my left hand into a blade. Apart from being sharp and hard, it does nothing.”

“Another one is silver body. It changes my body into silver. That makes me heavier. Apart from that, electrical conductivity becomes higher. Besides, it gives me slight immunity to electrocution. And I can jump down from higher places and suffer little injury due to it. It goes really well with our highJump tribe’s ability.”

“The final one is called lightning body. You can guess how I can use it with my silver body. They overlap and raise my immunity to electricity. Besides, my close combat abilities’ efficiency becomes higher due to my soul fusion. But, I don’t want to show my last ability to the riders yet. May be it will become a trump card for me in the future.”

Both Rey and I were amazed by his abilities. He has strong soul fusions and his fusion really suits him.

“Take a good rest. Tomorrow, we have to continue the hunt until SaberTooth gets a soul. Oh, they are unhappy with your performance. But I’m happy with your performances. I hope my plan would succeed without anything troublesome. Just try a little harder tomorrow to appease them. I know you guys are not good fighters yet. But I believe in Larry’s judgement. If possible, I would give one of my reserve mok-souls to one of you to increase our efficiency. Unfortunately, I can’t give you at the moment.”

“But don’t feel dejected. We have Glyph on our side. We don’t need to use strength to succeed our operation. We just need to use wit. And you guys and us combined is enough. Good night” Black told us and he went to sleep.

Naturally, three of us have to take turn for watch out duty.

Rays of sunlight comes through the gaps between the leaves. It is not hot. Just about the right temperature to feel the warmth of nature. The sky is already lit. Its blue hue visible through the gaps between leaves can be described as beautiful. Cool breezes are blowing. If where we are is not too much dangerous, this place is quite relaxing to both body and mind.

When I was appreciating nature, Brick said during his turn as a watchman, he saw a human silhouette in the dark. May be it is one of the riders since he saw the silhouette from the riders’ camp’s side.

We use the giant crow-mok’s meat as our meal for the day. Trigger’s blazing right hand comes into quite useful. Using the dead branches on the ground and dry leaves, Trigger made fire and roast the meat. The corw-mok’s meat was not that delicious. But we will have to content with what we have. Morning, and afternoon passed without any problems. And soon evening comes. It’s time to hunt the giant crow-moks again.
