Camaraderie

Elias watched the tumbling of his Island and the sway of his body due to the shockwaves. And he wondered how much power the Beasts have to produce this kind of spectacular event?

He gulped down and watched what held him in place. It was his trusty Chain Chest doing. He was wrapped around with spiky chains without injuring him. They delicately controlled themselves in a way that he was not harmed.

But one thing he perceived was that from time to time the chains would move him from one edge of the Island to another in a fast movement that his eyes couldn't follow. It was a blurry and dizzy sensation over and over again and again!

His mind went into overdrive and he quickly understood that the Chest was moving him away from the fight the moment the fight approached his position.

"I love you!" He said emotionally to the chest. 

If not for it, protecting him, he would be dead by now. Even though the fight kept injuring his ear due to sound, it was still better than being in a point black attack.

'Damn, maybe that Mutated Wolf realised that the Ram was the best nutrient than me, that is why it was fighting it. I hope the Ram wins.' Elias thought. 

Even in chaos, he has the mind to analyze the situations. And that is what he had learned since when he was a kid.

At the point of despair, one mind will go crazy and panic, but the best men are the ones that can calm their craziness and turmoil emotions to analyze the situation and seek the best possible action.

Zing!

[Baby Isle and the combined Treasures on it are bonding to give you the relative view of what is transpiring on it]

[Islander Elias Gobarau, empty your thoughts, and allow the Partial True Islander's View to take effect.]

One read and Elias understood the gist of it. He can't erase his thoughts from forming in his mind but he can concentrate on a single thing.

'Baby Isle, Baby Isle, Baby Isle…' 

That is what Elias keeps thinking until everything in his perception, sight and sound, seems to have started slowing down to crawl.

The dust movement was slowing down, a rock that just flew passing him, slowed down. Elias can even see when the water in the pond is splashing in slow motion. He also watched when a large rock was slowly cracking until it split into two.

The Chain holding him was casually changing his position in a way that he can see everything on his island. But one thing remains, he can't see the fighters. 

And also beyond the Island, he can only see blurry images! It's only on his Island did he seems to see things in slow motion. 

Looking down at the chains holding him, he saw that the lid of his Chain Chest was opened. Inside was filled with bluish-black liquid substances that are constantly corroding the metal chains and spikes. Yet, the endless supply of chains was immediately replaced.

What Elias deduced was that the Chain Chest is also in a precarious situation due to the liquid released by Cursed Flesh constantly corroding it inside. Nonetheless, Chain Chest saved his life when he was truly in danger.

'I did not even buy luck this time. This Chest must be my Lucky Chest.' 

He mumbled. Ideas have already set in his mind and that was to put the liquid out of the Chest constantly to free it from its corrosiveness.

*Haha… you will die!* 

The Cursed Flesh said, in a disgusting squirming movement, after it emerged from the chest. At the same time, spikes attack it and drag it back to the chest.

Elias realized that the Chain Chest was certainly protecting him from the Cursed Flesh from the beginning. And that is why it keeps it inside while it suffers from corrosion.

The love, the care, and the comrade the Chain Chest has shown him are beyond his imagination. He did not meet anyone capable of doing the same in his life before.

He wondered what was really inside the Chain chest?

Is it just a bunch of metals that can transform into chains and any kind of spikes and blades?

Or is it a machine that has only one purpose, to serve him, since he tamed it?

He remembers that he had to kiss it and also said he forgave it before he managed to tame it. And so far it showed a certain degree of intelligence. 

In that case maybe what was inside was a kind of life form he didn't know about!

The Wand said, there is much to be known about the Chain chest. Above that, it also said, 

~It is the best ally one will ever hope for~

The action of the Chain Chest has stirred the compassionate side of Elias Gobarau. And he felt more connected with it than ever. 

While his mind was occupied, he saw the Mutated Wolf landing on his island and it moved fast toward the two remaining trees of the Ram. It was about to bite one of them, the Ram appeared fast and bashed it with its horns. The Mutated Wolf appears to have been blown up.

At the same time, ten more Mutated Wolf appeared running everywhere. Their body is hazy, not corporeal. 

The Ram attacked anyone that came close to its two trees.

Elias realized what the whole fight was all about. From the very beginning, the Wolf is no match for the Ram and thus, the Ram was never the target.

The targets are the two special trees the Ram was raising. And since the Wolf was fast and had a strange ability it was using that to eat a lot of the leaves of the trees and if possible to eat the whole trees. 

While the Ram is fighting the persistent pest against his trees.

At the same time from all other four directions, beasts are roaring with the desire to participate in the fight and have a bite at the trees.

The Mutated Wolf howls and it becomes hundreds and they surround the Island. They move faster than the eye can see as well as sneak in close to the tree and try to eat some.

At the same time, several of them began attacking the Ram to distract it from its trees. It was at that time they managed to drag the Ram away from the Island and the Mutated Wolf which was a bit more physical than blurry, appeared fast, to gobble one of the trees in its entirety!

What do you think is inside the chain chest?
