The sun was about to set and soon it would be a night. The odd combinations of Moon and others weren't worried as their mind was focused on the heated conversation. Everyone had their view on certain things and here they were sharing their thoughts as everyone was pondering the answer to Raiz's question. Except for one cloud, who for the first time in his life wasn't curious about the answer.

No matter what the answer was. Moon, didn't see any good ending for both of them. Just because the noble was arrogant and haughty didn't mean he deserved to die and just because the other one was a librarian didn't mean that he wasn't evil, kidnapping children in his cellar. There was one more factor even if one killed the other.

" It's the noble since he was taught to look down on the commoners since his birth. In his mind, he was the one who deserved to live over the librarian" Elder Green threw his opinion into the conversation.

The bees mostly were in the forest fighting every day for their survival. Even the smartest Aurora had never interacted with humans before Thundersons joined them. She wouldn't know how humans thought in certain situations and she certainly didn't know how Raiz was casually keeping up with the conversation.

The bees were learning a lot from this conversation just by listening. One day it might even help them in the future and that future might come soon depending on the white tiger's answer.

" Don't forget even a mouse who's cornered will bite back. The librarian would be smarter if his brain didn't stop working due to fear. He would notice the noble was likely to die either way"

" If the pirates were smart and the librarian picked the sword and killed the noble. They might let him go, knowing he wouldn't be able to report to any authority. After all, he killed a noble with his own hands. His life would end as soon as he confessed his crimes and that was IF the pirates decided to let him go."

" On the other hand, if the noble killed the librarian, he was likely to die. Killing a noble would be a pirate's joy and notorious fame to the pirates. There were lots of IFs on how they would die but slim to none for the pirates to let them go.

Val who was the head of the Thunders for many years had a quite rich experience. Frankly, in that situation both of them were dead. With no strength, surrounded by enemies and full of fear would result in not being able to see the whole picture.

Even Val would have had tough in that situation. He was able to think now but in that dangerous moment, it would be hard to say how it would go. Everyone thought what Val said made sense. Most of them here would fight through the pirates but the noble and the librarian were mortal humans.

" Yes, that's true. Both of them were destined to die there but there is one small door for their survival. The first and most important key in that situation was to cooperate. Let's be honest, how many can even think of working together in that situation?" Raiz saw Aurora, Amilios, Neon, Brav, Alia and even Moon raising hands through his cloud body.

" Ahaha. I don't mean us. We are a bit special case in the world. Usually, people don't have trust in others, especially if it is conversation their life depends on it" Raiz informed.

" I don't know about others but you ain't normal either my friend" Moon remembered when Raiz trusted a stranger cloud. Moon knew Raiz had been betrayed due to his personality and not just one or two times. He would always give every person a chance without judging in the beginning. Normally people would get tired of believing and would change to not trusting anymore.

Raiz believed in himself. He would trust first and those who didn't reach up to his trust would appear at some point but he rather wanted to believe in others than miss that one who was worth believing for. The conversation had finally come to an end but something else was beginning. The sun had completely concealed itself as the nighttime had come.

The white tiger wasn't awake still and it was already night. Now they had to defend the white tiger from any predators lurking in the shadows. Thankfully, the moon shone brightly showing the environment. Val and Green saw better at night than normal humans but they knew it wasn't enough to fend off the predators that may come.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

Everyone formed a circle around the white tiger and Moon floated on top of him, protecting the tiger from every direction.

" Everyone fight like our leader isn't here. Don't count on him to save your asses, there will come battles when he will be occupied. Get used to and grow stronger right here and right now" Raiz commanded. Everyone nodded. They knew that if they were just to rely on Moon, they would be careless and assured of their safety, which would not sharpen their fighting instinct. That would be their fatal mistake somewhere in the future.

Moon didn't mind helping them but seeing their resolutions, he kept his mouth quiet. They were now at the entrance of the middle, there shouldn't be giant beasts like that Eagle and the tiger. The middle forest consisted of three sections. First Entrance, semi and the end. The battle between the eagle and the white tiger began at the end of the middle forest and they came to the entrance of the middle while they were fighting.

In silence, everyone was focused on the coming enemy and soon enough something slithered under the moonlight. It was a snake as thick as a tree. It looked at the white tiger, then looked at Brav who came in its sight first. Brav noticed the snake as well and immediately informed of others.

" There's a snake, there might be others lurking in the corners. Be careful" Brav was most worried about Alia since her abilities weren't offensive. The snake turned around and whipped its tail towards the absent-minded Brav.

Brav reacted as he shielded by crossing both his hands against the hard-as-rock tail. Brav flew into the air by the impact of the tail. He flipped in the air and flew towards the snake. Brav kicked the towards the snake. The snake slithered towards the tree and used the tree as its shield. it flipped the tree into Bravs path but with Bravs strength, the tree was crushed instantly. It didn't stop Bravs momentum as he was still headed towards the snake.

The snake tried to dodge the incoming kick by jumping to the left side. Brav who saw the snake's movement used his wings and changed his trajectory. Brav rotated his body and did a tornado kick into the snake's head. The snake's head was brutally severed, making the snake's body bleed out. Brav still didn't let his guard off until the snake's body stopped moving completely.

" I've taken care of the snake that was on this side. Be careful of their hard tails" Brav yelled to the others. Especially hoping to help Alia in any way. The reason why he said the snake on my side was because he saw few others when he was in the sky.

Raiz also encountered a snake. This was a green one. Raiz looked at the snake like a treasure, he had been training and finally entered the third stage. Now a dummy came to help him train, how could Raiz not be grateful? The snake thought Raiz wasn't focused and tried to swing his tail towards him. Raiz raised his hand and threw something at the tail. The tail that was in the air suddenly crashed into the ground.

The snake tried many times to lift but it couldn't. it decided to bite Raiz's head and swallow it whole. Raiz raised his other hand and the head of the snake was now on the ground, unable to move.

" I can use it more efficiently now but it still takes a toll on me. I need each hand to use a gravity ball. I still got a long way to go " Raiz sighted and completely crushed the snake's head.

On the other side of the white tiger, Alia looked at the snake that was in front of her. It was completely white. Its eyes reflected the intelligence it had. Alia noticed the snake was injured and was barely able to move. Its stomach was bleeding. The more it moved, the more it was getting hurt. Alia looked at the snake's eye and felt it was asking for help. Alia decided to heal the snake with her mana. After she was done, she moved back and was ready for the fight.

The snake slithered towards her and pounced only to stop right in front of her face. The snake turned its head back to where it came from. Moon looked at the leaving snake. What the snake didn't know was, it barely escaped from certain death. If it had gotten one more centimetre closer, Moon would have barbecued it on the spot.
