Few Hours later, 594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijUw9Yt9fx
Egil felt a comfortable energy flowing into his body. He regained his energy, and slowly opened his eyes. He saw himself stuck under a rock, and quickly managed to get out using his new found strength. As a beast, the first instinct is to absorb ether and get stronger, so he tried to trace the source of this energy, leading to him to none other than the rock that he was stuck under. However, before he could examine it, he found himself face-to-face with another beast. 594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9xjHiOJx8
"Hey"594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv6l5JsYlJ
Egil turned around to see a young man behind him. When he examined his aura, he could see that he was a bear.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCSSu6wCBQ
[oh, it's just a bear] 594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fs1mXxVgb
Egil thought as he turned his attention to the rock. For a phoenix like himself, bears are nothing but common beasts that are not even worth talking to, as they can't be compared to phoenixes. Axel knew that phoenixes tend to be haughty, but he never thought they were so stupid. Underestimating your opponent is the most fatal mistake you could ever make in the world of beasts after all.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqCcXrqQnD
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4kMmtc6qD
Axel used his ability [instant Freeze] and completely froze Egil in his place.
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkvKgqNabH
"You sure are a rude brat. Not only you barge into my house uninvited and ruin it, but you also ignore those who are older than you. Don't get carried away kid. Even though you're a phoenix, you were beaten by a girl with no aura"594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy46P5tCtv
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p7q5E7k02
That struck a nerve for Egil. He finally recalled how he tried to kill the rat that dared to hit him, but before he knew it, a huge weight fell over him and he blacked out.
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaOnhacjsw
[Don't joke with me! ME? get defeated by a rat with no aura?!]594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTBfU2qSy6
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcDlrqkA73
Egil released his aura without holding back, and the ice melted quickly. His aura was crimson red and radiated with heat energy.
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV4zYdKrG0
Before Axel could ask anything, he noticed the ice was melting, but instead of panicking, he chuckled.
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8STvXIXis
"Not bad, kid. Surprised you lost with such strength"
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLnHIGIQcw
"Get out of my way"
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkfLW1gayg
"hmm?"
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI56OPFfek
"Once I'm done with that rat, you'll be next, so get out of my way"594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVal4WadDhL
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa5rgLyugj
"Oh, the girl over there? You're saying she's a rat beast? but she doesn't have that kind of aura though?"594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpebmDK7yNL
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoGsaLLgRb
"Get out of my way"
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVOJxodb2N
"You really are rude aren't you? What if I say no?"
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2Q6H2Z1Bc
"Then I'll just have to get rid of you first"
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvcGCbeISi
Before Egil could move, however, he found himself pulled down by a great force, and got slammed into the ground.
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl4CAHI8Lk
"Sorry, but you'll have to stay here for a while. Don't think you could trash my house and leave so easily before explaining yourself"594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApuO82Cpfg
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFJfZzjxFX
"W-WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??!!"
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZamGjfEzBE
"Nothing special, just some gravity force skill, not that big of a deal. Come on, can't the almighty phoenix handle it?"594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7tLIvscA6
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ01bQiQVc
"DAMN YOU!"
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPlU91Hxmj
Axel smirked.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHvNG3gbcU
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WnLUX0ObZ
"I'LL KILL YOU!!"
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MGpZ07WJ5
Axel sighed and realized that after making the Phoenix angry, there is no way he will answer his questions. Just in case, he casted a special spell on him before he directed his target to the girl.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0A87pSu4R
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmkFBkxq8S
[I have to know what exactly happened here, and how these ether crystals appeared. Although absorbing these crystals present here is enough to reach a level much higher than my goal, I just can't swallow this good luck so easily like that...I have to know the everything before I make my decision]594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHj5lvzkRi
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyC9NmKYgj
Axel got closer to Aylin and started to check her condition. She was still unconscious, breathing slowly, and burnt a bit in the arm. Other than that, she's fine. Considering how the phoenix was angry with her, she must have won against him in a fight. Axel felt this is just unbelievable with her small frame and the absence of aura. He gulped in worry.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUz6VthNdB
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw13PMnpiq
[Could it be possible that she's good at hiding her aura? That stupid phoenix kept calling her a rat, but how could something as small as a rat win against a phoenix? Rather than restraining her, it might be a wiser to coax her into telling me what I want...who knows how she might erupt if she was provoked]594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKL8JYuol5
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaLarltYCO
And so, Axel made up his mind and carried Aylin princess-style. He decided to go to the Walnut Wood clan again, and get them to treat the girl well. They might be able to figure out her origin, how she defeated the phoenix, but most importantly, if she knew how the ether crystals in his cave appeared. While they do that, he'll sort things with the phoenix and his house. When got out of the cave, he noticed the mammoth he hunted still there, but there were some beasts not far away looking at it with gleaming eyes. Axel released a bit of his aura, and it took less than a second for the hyenas to run away in panic.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq591jPIVC
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDSo2JWYFz
"Damn hyenas"
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbFwyWFO3B
He put Aylin on his shoulders, then moved the dead mammoth into his cave.
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ1J45PdlV
"Like hell I'm letting anyone eat MY kill"
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47nXnTYM5V
Once he was done, Axel didn't bother carrying Aylin with his two hands and figured it was more comfortable to just leave her hanging on his shoulder. She was very light, and strangely enough, didn't transform to her original form yet.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcAIlZkZTu
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaSvCe4qOz
After all, if a beast in unconscious for a long time in its human form, it is bound to return to its original form.
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm3GLvWI6b
With many questions in his mind, Axel went back towards the Walnut Wood Clan.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs8IJgm9gz
In the cave,594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa4NCuyMGg
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpByvobiavJ
Egil: "...*sniff* MEAT!! and it's mammoth meat too!! damn Bear!! He's trying to torture me too!! I'M SO HUNGRY!! Release me at once!! I know you can hear me!! Do you know who am I?!! I'LL KILL YOU!!"594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r9sY84PAo
The beasts around the cave became frightened by the unusually screams of a phoenix near the mountain, and many escaped further from that area.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveYZXTLtrn
