"Zion, are you sure we can trust this Lizardman?" Sherry asked as she covertly looked at Sharroc, who was walking beside their wagon.
"Yes," Thirteen replied.
"Just where is that confidence of yours coming from?"
"Your worries are valid, but just trust me when I say that he won't do anything to harm us."
After careful consideration, Thirteen decided to use one of his trump cards.
And which trump card?
It was none other than Evuvug's child.
The Overlord Beetle, whom Thirteen had named Gwenn.
Thirteen had been feeding Gwenn Beast Cores, for it was one of his Beast Companions.
By this time, the Overlord Beetle had become a Rank 2 Monster, and its ability to mind control others had also leveled up.
Unfortunately, the Overlord Beetle could only use Mind Control on Monsters that were Rank 4 and below.
