Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Planning Again, Kitty Demon Beast

The bond between the two Lynn sisters was very deep.

Seraphina Sullivan felt a slight pang in her heart as she watched.

She gently ruffled Freya Lynn’s hair again and said softly, "Freya, you’re such a good, sensible girl."

To comfort the little one, she used the cover of her pocket to pull a few cute, individually wrapped fruit gummies from her Space and offered them to Freya Lynn.

"Here, have some candy from me."

Freya Lynn stared at the tempting candy, swallowing hard, but she didn’t take it right away.

She knew how valuable candy was now. Instead, she looked up at her own sister, her eyes asking for permission.

Seeing her younger sister’s look of longing yet restraint, Crystal Lynn’s heart ached. She nodded and said, "Go on, take it. And you have to thank Sullivan."

"Thank you, Sullivan!" Only then did Freya Lynn carefully take the candy, clutching it tightly in her palm as if it were a precious treasure.

Seraphina Sullivan then turned to Crystal Lynn and declined, "I’m not planning on going out anytime soon. I need to take care of some things and properly process what I gained from the last expedition."

Seeing the flicker of disappointment in Crystal Lynn’s eyes, Seraphina Sullivan offered a more solid suggestion.

"If you want to go out, you could consider joining Dexter Luther’s squad. They’re experienced and work well together. With them looking out for you, plus your Beau and your Beast Taming Talent, it would be much safer. You should go ask them what they think."

Hearing this, Crystal Lynn began to consider it seriously.

It was indeed a good option.

After chatting with Crystal Lynn for a few more moments and reminding her to be extremely careful if she went out, Seraphina Sullivan ended the conversation and returned to her relatively well-equipped RV.

She set the [Warm Crystal] she had just obtained to the side.

She planned to place it somewhere it could be exposed to sunlight the next time she entered a dungeon world.

With it, her chances of survival in extreme environments in the future would increase.

Seraphina Sullivan sat on a simple chair, taking a rare moment to quiet her mind and engage in some deep reflection.

’I hope the next dungeon trip goes a little more smoothly. No more unexpected curveballs.’

Seraphina Sullivan rubbed the bridge of her nose, a hint of exhaustion in her voice. ’Right now, all I want is to quietly and steadily increase my strength.’

First, she was schemed against by the Level 5 Yana Yates. Then, she was forced into a Level 5 Death Arena. She had to face the oppressive pressure of Maxim, a God’s Favored. And finally, there was the life-or-death battle with the Splitting Demon Rabbit... This series of events, like repeated hammer blows, had shattered the arrogance Seraphina Sullivan had developed after smoothly clearing a few dungeons.

The gap in Levels, and the appearance of "Him," made Seraphina Sullivan realize something clearly.

The world behind this so-called "Disaster Game" was far more vast and complex than she could have ever imagined.

Divine beings, Beloveds, Rule Dungeons, and even animal players...

Layers upon layers of unknown and dangerous elements made it far from the simple "survival game" she had initially thought it was.

In this unfathomable ocean, she was just a small fish that had just left the shallows.

’I’m still too weak...’

Seraphina Sullivan clenched her fists. She could feel the Power flowing within her, but there was no longer any sense of pride.

Whether it was her own Level, or the development and application of her Talents and Skills, there was still enormous room for improvement.

’Only by settling down and slowly accumulating strength can I protect myself and control my own destiny on the increasingly dangerous journey ahead.’

Seraphina Sullivan set a clear and practical goal for herself:

’Okay, the top priority right now is to raise my Player Level to Level 3.’

The experience of the last two high-difficulty dungeons was like a harsh teacher.

It had taught Seraphina Sullivan the principle that "there is always someone stronger" in an almost cruel fashion.

The pride that had quietly grown from her rapid progress was completely shattered and ground into dust.

Seraphina Sullivan rediscovered the mindset she’d had when she first became a Player: a state of awe towards the unknown and strict demands on herself.

’Don’t get arrogant. Don’t be conceited. Always remember, there will always be someone stronger than you. So, I have to keep working hard and never let my guard down, not even for a moment!’

Seraphina Sullivan silently admonished herself.

Once she had adjusted her mentality, her course of action became clear.

’There’s still so much to learn, and I need to become more proficient with the Skills I already have.’

Seraphina Sullivan began to plan.

With the [Worker] Talent, the more dungeons she entered, the more useful Profession Skills she would acquire.

But these Skills also needed a lot of practice.

Every Skill had its own unique characteristics.

They might prove to be surprisingly effective in different dungeons and crises.

Seraphina Sullivan was no longer aiming too high; instead, she decided to be down-to-earth.

She would polish every bit of power she already possessed to its absolute limit.

Carrying this newfound resolve and a clear plan, Seraphina Sullivan felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment and calm.

The challenges ahead were still severe, but she was now prepared for a long-term struggle, ready to advance steadily.

「...」

Inside Seraphina Sullivan’s personal [Scavenger’s Farm] Space.

An intense training battle was underway.

Seraphina Sullivan’s figure was agile as her hands waved quickly in front of her.

She conjured countless translucent, shimmering bubbles that glowed with a rainbow-like luster.

Like a sky full of dancing crystal balls, they swarmed towards Sean Chandler.

It was the Skill, [Clean Bubble]!

This support Skill, originally used mainly for cleaning and purifying contaminated Energy, had been forcibly developed into a tactical tool by Seraphina Sullivan.

[Bubble Shock]!

The impact force of a single bubble was almost negligible to the thick-skinned Sean Chandler, especially after he used Beastification. But their strength lay in their sheer number. The dense swarm of bubbles continuously collided and burst, creating minor impacts and light refractions that severely interfered with his vision and rhythm.

This created more opportunities for Seraphina Sullivan to attack and evade.

Seizing the opportunity, Seraphina Sullivan’s gaze sharpened. She made a gripping motion with her right hand, and a large pair of silver shears, glinting with a cold light, instantly materialized!

She didn’t charge forward to slash with them. Instead, she adopted a peculiar opening stance. Her entire aura changed abruptly, as if she were a seasoned butcher facing livestock awaiting slaughter.

Skill [Butcher’s Skill], activated!

In that instant, Sean Chandler felt a sudden, fatal sense of crisis wash over him—a cold dread that seemed to bypass all defenses and aim directly for his vital points!

The hair on his entire body stood on end as his beastly instincts screamed their highest level of alarm!

With almost no hesitation, Sean Chandler’s figure suddenly blurred and collapsed, instantly transforming into a small, all-black cat with only its pupils glinting with a spectral light!

Unlike his previous Cat Form, wisps of smoke, like leaping black flames, now coiled around its body, and its cat eyes had become a pure, light-devouring darkness.

The [Demon Beast] Power of the Beloved had created a strange chemical reaction with Sean Chandler’s own [Beastification] Talent!

In this state, he could perhaps be called the [Kitty Demon Beast] Form!
