Few Hours later, 548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr4CgWMxcu
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. 548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfGVDq6L8h
"Hey"548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBqtmx2wTi
Egil turned around to see a young man behind him. When he examined his aura, he could see that he was a bear.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0m1KqND9f
[oh, it's just a bear] 548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ402rI5kw3d
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.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6blK4Pdlh
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ181UdiPnXX
Axel used his ability [instant Freeze] and completely froze Egil in his place.
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NSql5d1l8
"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"548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1khVPEMYC
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFULXXkNWsv
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.
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmXBa5V55p
[Don't joke with me! ME? get defeated by a rat with no aura?!]548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCKNHlW2qF
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKxvMOlsXT
Egil released his aura without holding back, and the ice melted quickly. His aura was crimson red and radiated with heat energy.
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHWf590XGD
Before Axel could ask anything, he noticed the ice was melting, but instead of panicking, he chuckled.
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavcUSdtBvh
"Not bad, kid. Surprised you lost with such strength"
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgnWpiwxL8
"Get out of my way"
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhNR7TfONd
"hmm?"
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiRI7eqByg
"Once I'm done with that rat, you'll be next, so get out of my way"548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGi1N4zSV3
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqbODVsFXa
"Oh, the girl over there? You're saying she's a rat beast? but she doesn't have that kind of aura though?"548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkGfIKiTmx
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrmY0gcf3e
"Get out of my way"
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuN3j9qTcE
"You really are rude aren't you? What if I say no?"
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKVGnALIKZ
"Then I'll just have to get rid of you first"
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipFJsZCTyx
Before Egil could move, however, he found himself pulled down by a great force, and got slammed into the ground.
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBALlADfadg
"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"548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8k5zLZEjX
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUTJQcSqKH
"W-WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??!!"
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcscDH6b31
"Nothing special, just some gravity force skill, not that big of a deal. Come on, can't the almighty phoenix handle it?"548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfnmpVqNWA
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjnOxf18Ln
"DAMN YOU!"
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgysBeYuMxK
Axel smirked.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8s9Z9IaPf
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLGdrfXCzY
"I'LL KILL YOU!!"
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDohFuZ9MX
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.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI00w6q9oux
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQha5fBJLT
[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]548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnjUaVs3iH
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaivwL0xWA
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.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr4hzKQvLv
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK3p6iMuI7
[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]548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9v0rAnqsK
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ5wT5Oo0J
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.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjc18yhs7X
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeuONx59Or
"Damn hyenas"
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwgR7FyBTC
He put Aylin on his shoulders, then moved the dead mammoth into his cave.
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRXn23MQxQ
"Like hell I'm letting anyone eat MY kill"
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hexcn2wy6
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.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiZGrid5WT
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05FsSISQcs
After all, if a beast in unconscious for a long time in its human form, it is bound to return to its original form.
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3yuWKQvOv
With many questions in his mind, Axel went back towards the Walnut Wood Clan.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL2ZRfCdEn
In the cave,548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjwYUZOYaj
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubEfqvxxkq
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!!"548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg2USyofy1
The beasts around the cave became frightened by the unusually screams of a phoenix near the mountain, and many escaped further from that area.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFy40WI9ff
