Few Hours later, 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0Ddbfbfqc
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. 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQp24DGgG6
"Hey"642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gVnKMfyHF
Egil turned around to see a young man behind him. When he examined his aura, he could see that he was a bear.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM0TLMQjyL
[oh, it's just a bear] 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd1nZiglrU
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.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWktKbW9ewt
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDnDszgafK
Axel used his ability [instant Freeze] and completely froze Egil in his place.
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VVWIjYE8A
"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"642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigG9fDG0fU
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiSyBwgKpw
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.
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTKfGSoThL
[Don't joke with me! ME? get defeated by a rat with no aura?!]642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MPWCxvQW3
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9GprhAPgV
Egil released his aura without holding back, and the ice melted quickly. His aura was crimson red and radiated with heat energy.
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdDPkdKkGW
Before Axel could ask anything, he noticed the ice was melting, but instead of panicking, he chuckled.
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi6oKBuFNe
"Not bad, kid. Surprised you lost with such strength"
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuVYQXVvVV
"Get out of my way"
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxKhNMXn3n
"hmm?"
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuURLpNu7pI
"Once I'm done with that rat, you'll be next, so get out of my way"642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7y4NnzbeC
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZbTRARxQq
"Oh, the girl over there? You're saying she's a rat beast? but she doesn't have that kind of aura though?"642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GOtfMh4z7
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3zx7D36lF
"Get out of my way"
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtyYbRDbQ7
"You really are rude aren't you? What if I say no?"
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZzsMUrXAI
"Then I'll just have to get rid of you first"
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0guCDXyTJS
Before Egil could move, however, he found himself pulled down by a great force, and got slammed into the ground.
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID9kwLfoO3
"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"642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UT4fqAQ2p
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWhh4Gnz4z
"W-WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??!!"
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGVbqOGO2e
"Nothing special, just some gravity force skill, not that big of a deal. Come on, can't the almighty phoenix handle it?"642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsRhMSAMIM
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvOtdeG4gy
"DAMN YOU!"
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQqNHks0sO
Axel smirked.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9zjIX91f4
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRX3ffsRpG
"I'LL KILL YOU!!"
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuS9UQNvYE
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.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytEd2Yv1ym
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTCqgbf8LG
[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]642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvGGQlBEt5
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq4nmKy80O
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.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLXC0UHqNa
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V2XdisQOr
[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]642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwNdDLfIk6
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFjCZ6fHfH
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.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cKD58AnQQ
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hoBf4urbL
"Damn hyenas"
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB31vZ3e2Xa
He put Aylin on his shoulders, then moved the dead mammoth into his cave.
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3omN1Oe8aS
"Like hell I'm letting anyone eat MY kill"
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS3tYe6pPg
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.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ax4Dojx2Y
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDxGz52duv
After all, if a beast in unconscious for a long time in its human form, it is bound to return to its original form.
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHhaj5YM33
With many questions in his mind, Axel went back towards the Walnut Wood Clan.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp3ApsZwxW
In the cave,642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy1xfG4P8I
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC0BQjC2YU
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!!"642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoIuHSiEca
The beasts around the cave became frightened by the unusually screams of a phoenix near the mountain, and many escaped further from that area.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R1Vn5vsSf
