Overgeared

Pets had different ratings. Of course, the higher the rating, the more valuable the pet.

So how was this value calculated? Was it based on stats and skills? That’s right. Even appearance was added. A pretty, nice, and cute pet was rated higher than an ugly pet. However, the more important thing than abilities and appearance was their intelligence.

Pets that could only understand the follow the commands of attack, defense, movement, etc. were low rated, even if they had excellent stats and were pretty. They were difficult to utilize effectively. On the other hand, intelligent pets were different.

They fully understood their master’s words and thoughts and were able to carry out higher rated orders. Thus, they had a higher rating despite their stats being somewhat lower. They were much more useful than the low intelligence pets. This was why wyverns reigned as the ‘best pet’ for many years.

Wyverns had high stats and enough intelligence to understand their master’s thoughts. In order to achieve their master’s purpose, a wyvern always did their best and was very helpful to a player. The value of wyverns was high enough that all players in the world dreamt of becoming the master of a wyvern.

But now people didn’t call wyverns the best. Pets more excellent than a wyvern had emerged. They were Noe and Randy. As it happened, both of them were Grid’s pets.

“Nyahahat! Master told me to help! Nyang!”

Noe flew on small wings, causing Regas’ face to brighten.

“Noe...! Thank you!”

His opponent was a very strong martial artist who freely used her weight while fighting. Asura Regas was the only one capable of going against her and even he was now at his limits. He was just about to die, so Regas was relieved to see Noe. Noe placed his pink soles on Regas’ wounded shoulders and cried out.

“The strongest demonic beast in hell isn’t someone who will help humans. Nyang! But Master told me to help you! Nyang!”

"Hahat, you are a good kid who listens to your master.”

“Nyahahat!”

Noe danced because of the praise. Regas stroked his chin and requested.

"Take away her stats.”

"I understand! Nyang!”

Originally, a pet’s skill activation was based on their master’s command. They couldn’t use a skill if they didn’t receive a command. However, Noe was a pet intelligent enough to communicate with players. He judged the situation himself and used his skills.

Noe flew towards White and opened his mouth wide. He planned to swallow White in one go. But White was an agile person with brilliant control. She stepped back, avoiding Noe’s mouth. Then she raised a finger and accurately stabbed Noe’s throat. Noe’s eyes widened as he fell to the floor in pain.

"Ah... Hurts nyong.”

"...”

Regas’ face filled with dark clouds again.
