Hamatarou slammed the Salamander down to the ground, pushing his claws further into it as he arrived into an enclosed empty room. He looked around for a moment and only then realised that there was something slimy in his mouth.

Hamatarou quickly spits it out, and the frog swordsman rolled on the floor, gasping for air. Despite all the saliva that stained his entire body (and his clothes), Gaeru struggled to stand up as he directed his sword towards Hamatarou.

"Is this how you treat your saviour?" The Hamster Prince turned back into a large hamster as he removed his hand and stepped on the wound of the Salamander underneath his claw.

"Why- Why did you kill it? I was hoping to interrogate it!" Hamatarou complained as he saw the Frog, relentless in his attitude, picking up his sword again and aiming to kill Qiu Yue in front of it.

"How is this possible? You are not of any of the tribes I've known. I do not know what exactly you are
