Few Hours later, 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvD4mwXVqg
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. 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufOB76Hx9b
"Hey"640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3TulzlJWj
Egil turned around to see a young man behind him. When he examined his aura, he could see that he was a bear.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcREwzOqzg
[oh, it's just a bear] 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxbd1DMFem
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.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCMkL4Rcwf
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO0Kwif0k1
Axel used his ability [instant Freeze] and completely froze Egil in his place.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g5rzLax6q
"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"640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlMBs529JX
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBXdKYyXnp
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.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvxfa7NENj
[Don't joke with me! ME? get defeated by a rat with no aura?!]640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXg7p7utRb
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQJwBtBmp5
Egil released his aura without holding back, and the ice melted quickly. His aura was crimson red and radiated with heat energy.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51GPbwtD0Q
Before Axel could ask anything, he noticed the ice was melting, but instead of panicking, he chuckled.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN26cSfY7S
"Not bad, kid. Surprised you lost with such strength"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWXZ1scsXm
"Get out of my way"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG4Tf86Tvy
"hmm?"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytvyq4hVhb
"Once I'm done with that rat, you'll be next, so get out of my way"640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ53wHCyPWK
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNlAZmnHYC
"Oh, the girl over there? You're saying she's a rat beast? but she doesn't have that kind of aura though?"640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8aRKyIiI7
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhf1tuTcx8
"Get out of my way"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudQmasQ246
"You really are rude aren't you? What if I say no?"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyBcUI4f3R
"Then I'll just have to get rid of you first"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAXJZswsMS
Before Egil could move, however, he found himself pulled down by a great force, and got slammed into the ground.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr2Bbrj4ev
"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"640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvkvsOyyEv
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1N6Tp0SbS
"W-WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??!!"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfD7UVHnjD
"Nothing special, just some gravity force skill, not that big of a deal. Come on, can't the almighty phoenix handle it?"640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJN8VoSB6S
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmhH3HeoV0
"DAMN YOU!"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I9j62D3lT
Axel smirked.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5QYwyShIV
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3sSlqDciH
"I'LL KILL YOU!!"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNILkSw5dJ
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.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPYKbF8lbo
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffSEUlgmLi
[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]640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP9BAc8j04
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5hl4YxCZQ
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.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM20PacZCz
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXH5DlK2HM
[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]640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5anPzjyw7
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88l8rcG057
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.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRrYPKd3BD
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGKica24QF
"Damn hyenas"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDNIDJYGQf
He put Aylin on his shoulders, then moved the dead mammoth into his cave.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedLAtFOpK2
"Like hell I'm letting anyone eat MY kill"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni9iPWYxDT
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.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb79paWERrh
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVyNJ6KyGH
After all, if a beast in unconscious for a long time in its human form, it is bound to return to its original form.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATSTJfvT1k
With many questions in his mind, Axel went back towards the Walnut Wood Clan.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg34DjNTxkL
In the cave,640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKM0MxlT1k
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc4wsSJ5ER
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!!"640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO6V3Tltpc
The beasts around the cave became frightened by the unusually screams of a phoenix near the mountain, and many escaped further from that area.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLejtpjwU58
