Chapter 6: 6. Talent

Myla pondered for a moment to answer while Ryfin agreed to fight.

"Let's fight."

Famir nodded and redirected his attention to Myla, who seemed to be deep in thought. It was clear that she found it difficult to decide if she should participate in battle, as her skills were better suited for assisting others rather than facing someone head-on.

'I don't want to fight but if I don't then maybe—maybe they will leave me alone on this island because of my cowardice.'

While she pondered the situation, her expression shifted frequently, but Famir, who seemed to be waiting, was unaware of her struggle and had no time to acknowledge it as the beast drew closer

"Are you going to fight or not?" He asked in urgency.

Myla felt overwhelmed with panic as Famir pressured her to choose, knowing she had not yet made a decision. Nevertheless, after witnessing Famir's resolute look and remembering his response to Orion before, she reluctantly agreed to participate in the battle.

"I will fight, I will fight."

A smile appeared on Famir's face.

"Good," he said.

"Now, we will move according to my plan. Ryfin, you teleport in front of him and distract his attention and come back. Myla, you control some tree vines and wrap it around his legs to hinder his movements."

As Famir quickly formulated a plan and assigned roles to the others, Orion, who had been silently observing, interjected with a question.

"Have you guys tried using your talents before? What if you guys failed to use your talents in the middle of the fight?"

Famir frowned at Orion's words. As much as he hated his cowardice, he couldn't deny what he said.

Forget Famir, even the other two hadn't used their talents because they hadn't gotten any chances during their stay in the pirate ship.

Yet this didn't falter Famir's decision as he had already made up his mind to fight.

However, the situation appeared different for the other two. Upon hearing Orion's question, they began to doubt their decision, particularly Myla, who had made a hasty choice earlier influenced by Famir's eagerness.

Orion, catching a glimpse of their contemplative demeanor, couldn't resist stealing a glance at the rock. He wanted to find other options if their plan failed.

Her fear of letting down Famir and Ryfin, as well as being seen as a coward, pushed her to reluctantly agree to confront the monster.

'Damn, we could just run and hide in some place where you could also try your talents but you have to fight here.'

Orion cursed them silently.

On the other hand, Famir took the command.

"Ryfin go and do what I told you before."

"Myla, be ready when Ryfin returns, it's your turn."

Ryfin and Myla both nodded in approval, and shortly after, Ryfin started emitting shades of blue light from his body before disappearing.

The unexpected disappearance shocked everyone, leaving them amazed and surprised since it was the first time they had seen someone vanish right in front of them.

Swiftly composing themselves, they cautiously advanced towards the rock and glanced around its edge.

Surprisingly, they noticed Ryfin standing perilously near the monster's legs, but the creature remained unaware of him.

However, Ryfin teleported again, this time positioning himself accurately on the monster's right side.

At first, the large blue creature was taken aback by the sudden arrival in front of it, but after seeing how small the being was, it relaxed and started approaching it.

Watching the massive figure nearing him, Ryfin tried to use teleportation to return to safety, but was horrified to discover he was unable to accomplish the task.

He made another attempt in desperation, but it was unsuccessful. Fear overwhelmed him when he understood he was unable to teleport to safety.

"System, why can't I teleport myself?"

[The host's power level is too low and hasn't reached the Bronze rank—the required rank to freely use one's talent. Therefore, with the measly amount of mana you have in your current level, you could only use two times your teleportation skill until your mana is restored.]

"Damn!"

A curse escaped from his lips as he ran back with all his strength.
