Few Hours later, 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaIMayeJiu
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. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSq61lTldl
"Hey"738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZipupkZFu
Egil turned around to see a young man behind him. When he examined his aura, he could see that he was a bear.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM28MDOncg8
[oh, it's just a bear] 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPMIOHCJ3c
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.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFBRkMNj6r
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrAiZFGjPR
Axel used his ability [instant Freeze] and completely froze Egil in his place.
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zsN1zhRK7
"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"738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRsUCMfrEO
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e7EPDdYiA
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.
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOa24s7OWF
[Don't joke with me! ME? get defeated by a rat with no aura?!]738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWjR2K7185
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9ad6znxY7
Egil released his aura without holding back, and the ice melted quickly. His aura was crimson red and radiated with heat energy.
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCARfHolpn8
Before Axel could ask anything, he noticed the ice was melting, but instead of panicking, he chuckled.
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJHTDRQoVw
"Not bad, kid. Surprised you lost with such strength"
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHyj9Rgvxr
"Get out of my way"
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8KwWFxsZ8
"hmm?"
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zU8sb7u0r
"Once I'm done with that rat, you'll be next, so get out of my way"738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvXmUTelXG
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6cYMlOYTz
"Oh, the girl over there? You're saying she's a rat beast? but she doesn't have that kind of aura though?"738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjj5IRQta3
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2sddCRoZO
"Get out of my way"
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNxHdZkCIp
"You really are rude aren't you? What if I say no?"
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8E1EXext0
"Then I'll just have to get rid of you first"
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQisF7OeB1
Before Egil could move, however, he found himself pulled down by a great force, and got slammed into the ground.
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabLVjDYsVc
"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"738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFULyRgSfj
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfY9V1H7KX
"W-WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??!!"
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyNm7ebnlW
"Nothing special, just some gravity force skill, not that big of a deal. Come on, can't the almighty phoenix handle it?"738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMRHxvF6a4
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY73RQsCle
"DAMN YOU!"
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHWPg9NhAj
Axel smirked.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlMkFQZO27
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdISdjbwbxr
"I'LL KILL YOU!!"
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8gAzeYGy4
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.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMXLRbfVmQ
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yJihizJon
[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]738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG1YvehRUw
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeJQCwGBPi
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.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIedVsPZM6T
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9adU04btb4
[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]738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzSb6kTR0L
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkKPYjQlxr
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.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61qw6yEgtU
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1e8fRl5FT
"Damn hyenas"
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8sNb9iGhz
He put Aylin on his shoulders, then moved the dead mammoth into his cave.
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOBjgMR3Ci
"Like hell I'm letting anyone eat MY kill"
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0NtFC5UPN
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.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL7L3EcYQe
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbIviLqijs
After all, if a beast in unconscious for a long time in its human form, it is bound to return to its original form.
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqcJH6t3Jq
With many questions in his mind, Axel went back towards the Walnut Wood Clan.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC09BCcnr6
In the cave,738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOEFSTYXvT
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJG23nuhRR
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!!"738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2oad4I74j
The beasts around the cave became frightened by the unusually screams of a phoenix near the mountain, and many escaped further from that area.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rAl0B8qGJ
