NOVEL NEXT Chapter 324: Puppy
Belle's body started involuntarily shaking once she felt the terrifying pressure emitted by that large winged creature.
Even if she hadn't personally seen the Dragon before, she was more than sure that this creature was exactly that monstrous being.
Even the Beast, who prided himself in towering over any other Canzer, couldn't help but take a step back as he looked up at the majestic body of the Dragon.
Both of them were caught entirely unprepared at the appearance of the Dragon. They would have never thought that the Dragon would appear so soon.
This wasn't supposed to happen. After all, they were in the midst of the Beast's castle. It was supposed to be a private sanctuary that even the Dragon could not locate.
But somehow, it was able to locate this place amid the different dimensions.
"H..how…" Belle muttered to herself.
Even though Atlan admitted it himself, she simply couldn't believe it.
Belle thought that she was the one buying time for her Beast to come, but as it turned out, Atlan was buying time for the Queen to appear too!
Back when the fighting hadn't even started yet, Atlan suddenly heard a voice echo in his mind.
Buy some time for me. I'll arrive soon.
He immediately recognized the voice to be the Queen's! Somehow, she was able to communicate with him even though they were separated by large distances.
He didn't question her words and immediately tried to buy some time for her to arrive.
Thankfully, she arrived just in time before Belle could command the Beast to attack him.
He looked up and talked to the Queen.
'How did you find me?'
The Dragon flashed a smile accompanied by a fiery breath.
'I imprinted my mark on your face when I kissed your cheeks. Without that, I would have never been able to locate this place.'
Belle almost had her eyes out of her sockets as she looked at Atlan and the Dragon with shock.
"You…you…!!!" she pointed at Atlan. "You can talk to the Dragon? You can speak Canzer?!?!"
She witnessed firsthand how Atlan's voice suddenly transformed into something monstrous, something that only Canzers could produce with their special biology. Humans couldn't speak those words, but somehow, Atlan was able to speak fluently enough to converse with the Dragon.
But that wasn't even the most surprising part.
Atlan talked to the Dragon as if they were more than acquaintances! They regarded each other as if they were friends who were separated after a long time.
It was then that she finally realized. Atlan was the one who summoned the Dragon here.
She finally realized why he was acting so haughty despite his weak strength. All this time, he acted as if he wasn't afraid of the Beast or the Beauty. It was only now that Belle realized why. It was because he had a much greater monster as his ally.
"You! Who are you?
WHAT
are you?!"
Belle shivered. Atlan was a porter who had a different LifeSkill than his Physique one. He was someone who could summon allies from out of nowhere.
She wasn't sure if he was even human.
"If you had just returned with us, then this wouldn't happen. Instead, you planned to kill us and the Dragon."
Belle gritted her teeth. "Not if I kill you all first! Beast, go and deal with that Dragon. I'll deal with that pesky…boy!"
Beast roared to the top of his lungs, showing off his muscles and his furry torso to the Dragon as a form of intimidation. But instead of bringing fear, it only brought amusement to the Queen's face.
'You're a lost little puppy, aren't you? Are you so desperate for a master that you let a human control you?'
'Grahh! Evil Queen! BARK BARK BARK'
The Queen pitied the little puppy.

Meanwhile, Belle decided that she needed to let out all her power to survive.
Her book of contracts started glowing as it floated in front of her. She commanded all of her contracts to return to her side and stop fighting the other humans.
They didn't need to fight them anymore. She correctly guessed that Atlan wouldn't let go of the fog because it would allow the other humans to see him cooperating with the Dragon.
"Let's see you fight against a bone fide Specialist-level Savior like me!"
Animated kitchen utensils and household objects suddenly started appearing all over the fog. These objects floated with their own kind of personalities, as if they were truly alive.
With Belle's power, she was able to turn these ordinary objects into weapons that were on the same level as her.
"If you think you can shatter these cups easily, then you can think again."
Atlan eyed the floating objects around him with serious eyes. After all, these objects were able to keep Ninth's team in check, preventing them from helping Ninth deal with the Beast.
"If you can summon your friends, then you give me no choice but to summon mine."
He commanded the Huntsman puppet to protect him. It shot down the teacups and forks that tried to pierce his heart.
Atlan concentrated hard, reaching deep into his Soul System and creating a giant hand that grasped his Spinster LifeSkill.
And as he concentrated, a giant needle and a giant ball of yarn suddenly appeared right beside him.
The needle and the yarn started sewing themselves, creating an object at breakneck speeds. It followed Atlan's imagination to the tee.
It wasn't long before there were two more puppets beside him, one male and one female.
The human woman had fair white skin, a beautiful rounded face, and a short bob haircut. She wore a cute blue and red dress that completed her attire.
The human man wore full metal armor, with his helmet in his hands. He had a sharp chiseled face, with long flowy blonde hair that swayed in the wind.
They were the White Canzer and the Prince.
But with Atlan's Spinster LifeSkill, he was able to make them into human puppets that had the same strength as Intern-realm Saviors!
