Atlas was getting closer to the cats by the second. He sent what little aura he had managed to spread around him back into his body and tried to distort the movement ability he was using to indicate that he was trying not to harm the cats.
Even though the cats were very aggressive, Atlas was able to get close to them.
With that, he pulled out a carving knife from his inventory and then got underneath one of the cats and began to carve the seal that bound the chain.
Even though Shadow Cat was struggling quite seriously, it was not doing it by force. It was as if it was hurting that the seal was starting to deteriorate.
That was exactly why Atlas was trying to act as fast as he could.
The other Shadow Cat waited anxiously where it was. It seemed to be constantly nuzzling its friend and trying to calm him down.
Atlas had succeeded:
"CRING!"
The chain suddenly shattered, and the seal began to heat up in Atlas's hand.
