When I reach to Bark, he has already become much better. He can already walk by himself. So, I started to examine Glyph and EagleEye. EagleEye is dead but Glyph is not. She is only unconscious because of the joint attack of many people. I can see many injuries on her exposed parts alone.

Since a battle has been fought here, moks are sure to be here soon. So, we rushed back to the cave. Bark’s men carried EagleEye, Glyph and the body of the giant crow-mok in the ceremony ground. Luckily, both when we retrieve the giant crow mok’s body and on the journey back to the cave, we didn’t encounter WatchDog again.

We are in a hurry to treat Black and Larry but if we are not careful, unfortunate events will occur for sure. So, we rest the night in the cave.

When the sun rises, we began our journey back to the village. We were careful enough to not encounter any mok on the way back.

When we reach the village, it is already evening. The sun is setting soon.

“Let’s talk tomorrow. Come to this brainless fool’s house. I’ll be there” said Bark pointing at the unconscious Black.

He gave me some silver coins in order to stay at the inn for tonight. He said we should discuss further rewards later since Black and Larry were both unconscious. Then, saying goodbye, we went separate ways. Our destination is, of course, the inn we used to stay.

Although the money Bark gave us is too few, we will have to make with what we have. When we get money, we would have to buy more clothes. The ones we had are all torn.

Should I buy a backpack? We didn’t buy a backpack before because we didn’t have enough money. We used our brown shirts as bags. We put all we have on the front of the shirt and fasten it with its hands. That became a bag as well.

We usually place the shirt-bag on our back. One hand of the shirt is taken out to front from above the right or left shoulder while the other is taken out to front from under the opposite armpit. Then, the two hands of the shirt-bag is fasten. It is a total of two time of fastening. One before putting on the back to prevent things from falling. Another one to tie the shirt to the body. That’s all. But if we have a bag, I think it would be better? Let’s think about it later. We will rest well tonight.

We reached the inn and took a good long comfortable shower. Staying in the wilderness for more than a week with always rising tension is not comfortable at all.

Then, Rey and Brick just went to bed. They look very tired and so do I. I’m also very tired. I want to go to sleep now. But before going to sleep, I think I have to review what has happened in the last mission. It can’t be helped. It is my habit after all.

- - - - - - - - -

Although the mission as a whole was successful, I can’t deny that luck was a part of it. If luck was not on our side, we would lose for sure.

Let’s start with my deficiencies

I am weak

If I’m strong, in the first place, I could have saved Black from the start. We didn’t need to be so desperate.

My knowledge on mok soul ability is too little

I didn’t even know what their so called “FUSION MOK” was and still I don’t fully know its extend. Let’s put that aside, if not for Black’s information, I would have to worry about their ability. Now that I think about their ability they used only two ability each? Glyph used vision transfer and freezing hand. EagleEye used VST(vision transfer) and poisonous fangs. Trigger used VST and blazing hand. WatchDog used VST and strength enchantment, as well as “FUSION MOK”. Is fusion mok their third soul fusion ability? Nah, let’s put that aside.

Hmm. What is 3? What is the third deficiency? I’m sure I thought of it during the battle.

Oh that’s right. How stupid of me? The final between us and the riders was in the wood. We should have used the trees as our advantage. Since all three of us have yellow monkey mok soul fusion, we could have done better if we did use the trees and vines hanging on those trees. How stupid? Hmm.

So,

Weak on using environment

Anything else? Even after thinking about another 10 minutes, I don’t find any deficiencies. It may be because, I always find 3 weak points? I’m sure it is not that we were perfect but I’m not intelligent enough to recognize those deficiencies.

- - - - - - - - -

Okay. My weaknesses on the mission were decided. Let’s consider the solution to the weaknesses.

I’m too weak.

Yes, I’m just too weak. Even though I’m the leader, I feel like I’m the weakest. I have to strengthen myself. But how? By means of soul fusion? Sure I’ll have to strength myself by means of soul fusion but since I’m not knowledgeable enough, it is not enough. Then, what should I do?

Okay, decided. I’ll get another soul fusion. Then, I’ll study combat. When I reach Cyclop city, I’ll learn combat. I hope they run services to teach combat to rookies. I’ll make both Rey and Brick learn too. Then, my weakness as well as theirs will be covered.

I didn’t decide to get all 3 soul fusions because I’m worried that I won’t be able to change my soul fusion. No offense to the yellow monkey mok soul fusion. It is a strong one for me. It has been very useful but I’ve tried to remove it from the capsule. However, I couldn’t. Right now, there are only two available capsules. I don’t want my soul capsule be filled with random souls.

My knowledge on soul ability is too little

I’ll have to experience more to know more. I’m the kind of guy who would learn faster when faced in reality. I can’t find a more suitable solution than going on adventure.

Weak on using Environment

I think I just need to remember to cover this. I just need to remember to use environment.

Okay. That’s enough. I’m too tired. Not long after, I am already embracing the beauty of deep slumber.
