But, to win the next task they needed all cultivators to be recharged. The other leaders realized they could only lose if they searched for this place. 

This forest looked quite cute at first glance but was filled with deadly traps. Literally. Luckily this place is under the seal so in case of life and death the person would be just sent out. 

Because of that spirit mushroom, they lost six people and had no wish to lose even one more. So they chose to rest and cultivate for two days.

Everyone was excited about the next win. But when the two-headed dog summoned an ice fire ball and almost annihilated they knew they needed a better way to fight him. 

Molok looked at Kendra and saw her pacing. Even tho the other leaders were not at ease, but by now they knew that she had ideas. So they let her mumble as she paced up and down. 

Cethin knew how to stop it and wanted to use it in the last chance as he wanted to give her a chance to get one of those transportation scrolls. Just in case...

She sometimes makes enemies, not even knowing it. But that is how wield is. There are winners and rulers and those like her. She didn't even give a thought about it or cared. 

Taffy looked at Kendra that suddenly froze and started clapping her hands. "I know. I know how to win it. But everyone has to work together. Literally every single one of you. Including pets."

Her group had few pets and the other groups had dozen as well. She looked at them and started examining. "This is going to be win or loss by the hair. If even one of you doesn't give his fullest, we will lose the fight. And Cethin, yes you as well. I know you are full of yourself as you ate stronger than us, but I can feel that your powers are not fully developed and unsteady."

Cethin stood in front of her in astonishment. "My strength is not bad."

With a sigh, she poked his head. "Not bad, but not good. You do not concentrate. You just think you are the best. Just use the given power. Don't make me say it twice. If I get angry..."

Her eyes suddenly became red and slight strains of red mixed among the white hair, giving it different flair. But the aura became almost defending. "I hate repeating. We could have done this on the first try. Let's do it right on the second try. If we don't win now, you can forget the third time. Three days will be not enough for us to gather back our powers. So let's go all in."

Everyone looked at the young girl with shaking hearts. What is this? Ultimate leader aura?

Bess came closer and spoke. "In the future, Kendra will lead us to do other quests and tasks. Trust her. She is able to get us into the Cave. We lost the chance to get three items, but two are not bad. Better than going home with empty hands."

Most lower cultivators barely pass the first task, but they already came to the third task. Even those around the third boundary have a hard time passing the second task. 

So they chose to listen to her. As soon the two-headed dog appeared they started attacking. He had no time even to summon. 

His legs froze rapidly, a huge group of fireballs flew right in front of his eyes making him dizzy. With help of nature users and wind users, hundreds of wines shot out the ground and wined around the dog's body and then his mouths. 

As he got angry he tried summoning the ice and fire but as they were summoned in his mouth he self-destructed. The whole group was summoned into the Cave and they realized that this cave had a special treat.

There are only ten scrolls. Speed, strength, fire, wind, earth, metal, nature, light, darkness and transportation scrolls. But as soon one took scrolls they wanted, new scrolls would summon. That means each of them had won something they wanted.

This time Cethin took light and darkness and saw Kendra taking transportation and darkness. He proudly looked at Taffy that filled her eyes. Kendra took it as she is interested in that, not in you. Too bad you don't see it. My poor child. You are excited about nothing, sigh...

And truly, he was so happy that he even smiled. All girls squealed while Kendra just ignored him unconsciously as she opened the scrolls. Interesting...

Marcus suddenly appeared next to her and chuckled. "Happy?" He could literally see her glowing from inside out. He really has the wish to hug her, but wouldn't that be awkward for everyone?

She absolutely had no idea about his thoughts, but Taffy and Cethin looked at him with flat expresson. You are cheating! What a joke! Almost as if he could read their mind, he turned towards them and winked. The problem was that Cethin stood in the same way as a bunch of girls that almost fainted in happiness. 

Marcus was after all... Marcus. Even Kendra had few thoughts occasionally about him And that is already a big deal.

"Yes. I have to admit that Molok helped me learn so much. I don't know how to thank him." She scratched her temple as she thought about it. 

"Not going to do a fourth task?" He rose his eyebrow and looked at her. 

She shook her head. "We have your days but I know that even if we stay here for the whole month we won't be able to recharge enough. I planned to search for the surroundings and see if there is anything interesting. Can't you give me some leads?"

She cutely blinked at him but he poked her head. "No cheating! Have fun in these four days. After you come out I have something to tell you and your friends."

"Tell me now." She looked at him in excitement.

He saw curious eyes staring at him and spoke. "You proved yourself as a good leader. So I chose you for the lower Took Chasm. It is something that opens once in fifty years. I'll send you to a low level. Only fifty people in the group. There will be eleven groups going. Yours will be twelfth. And only yours will go to lower levels. Others will be sent straight to the second level as they are higher cultivators and don't need those lower things. Wanna do it?"

She could literally feel the excitement rising up in nearby people. She accepted. "I accept."

"By the way, only those under the second level can join you. The rest can join the other groups. I'll recommend you to their leaders. After all, how many lowbies got so far?" He turned his head towards them and saw them cheering. Right after that, he disappeared.

As soon he was gone, they looked at Kendra and she chuckled. "Do you know that exactly fifty in our group are under the second level? Let us cultivate for four days. The cultivators that are coming with me please be ready."

Suddenly they appeared again in mid of the forest and went back to cultivate. Just as Kendra and her group were about to enter their ice home she heard a gasp behind. 

"Wait... For... Us...." A huge red plant gasped as two tiny plants held tightly onto his neck. 

Kendra patted Rorry. "Sweety I think it's time to introduce yourself."

With excitement, she bowed deeply. "My name is Rorry and I have nature powers. Would you please accept me as your spirit companion?"

"Leaving this place?" He looked at Kendra that nodded. "Good. Let us make a spirit contract with you."

"Us?" Everyone gasped as they saw two more plants in his hands accepting the contract. "She is having three spirit companions?!''

But suddenly a deep voice could be heard from behind. "And me?"
