Few Hours later, 638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTzkw8oafl
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. 638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYU8RLArF4
"Hey"638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdeWvQHppw
Egil turned around to see a young man behind him. When he examined his aura, he could see that he was a bear.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrUisOc03d
[oh, it's just a bear] 638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPoAYYpAA5
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFiD97Y4TU
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1p1qooaA1
Axel used his ability [instant Freeze] and completely froze Egil in his place.
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhcG3D7GBj
"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"638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSVB9b79iT
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCKvmxqKWg
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.
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHdafSMxZf
[Don't joke with me! ME? get defeated by a rat with no aura?!]638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o8reylkVE
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HYjlo0RKV
Egil released his aura without holding back, and the ice melted quickly. His aura was crimson red and radiated with heat energy.
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzKieORiBI
Before Axel could ask anything, he noticed the ice was melting, but instead of panicking, he chuckled.
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS5MFBE0wA
"Not bad, kid. Surprised you lost with such strength"
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I2foCwz6J
"Get out of my way"
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk9JQBiLrI
"hmm?"
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX9xlc60L7
"Once I'm done with that rat, you'll be next, so get out of my way"638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviObJwrZMl
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyR11sySsM
"Oh, the girl over there? You're saying she's a rat beast? but she doesn't have that kind of aura though?"638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPZiA6LFLV
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVGLA7hjGs
"Get out of my way"
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rePxzyekW
"You really are rude aren't you? What if I say no?"
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOCWcoq5Se
"Then I'll just have to get rid of you first"
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINHR1LPHpz
Before Egil could move, however, he found himself pulled down by a great force, and got slammed into the ground.
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs1pgwsbI8
"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"638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBdMFGQewD
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15JgIyDNJx
"W-WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??!!"
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUltzLeq4DN
"Nothing special, just some gravity force skill, not that big of a deal. Come on, can't the almighty phoenix handle it?"638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZTQNJfDpO
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyinHD7Umlo
"DAMN YOU!"
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CPgGv70bZ
Axel smirked.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTCIyiWRES
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6b1fWFjMt
"I'LL KILL YOU!!"
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrBZjYc3Ht
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVyBb3v4L9
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvlZM2d8a6
[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]638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDBpCiL3fk
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbvNicUlcG
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TAhuoElEM
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cZ7FqP7fg
[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]638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHWDgW8wxG
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pEIF0wuUI
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSvMMw0x88
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeD72aB30D
"Damn hyenas"
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEdQx3hgHr
He put Aylin on his shoulders, then moved the dead mammoth into his cave.
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K2oVIFing
"Like hell I'm letting anyone eat MY kill"
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwyZRuHETq
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZorGwUuHp
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaCCrft5YR
After all, if a beast in unconscious for a long time in its human form, it is bound to return to its original form.
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg32DwzAfkC
With many questions in his mind, Axel went back towards the Walnut Wood Clan.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC47cuWHSof
In the cave,638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutCGl7Ra2h
638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYzocCSWqW
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!!"638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PUHbcB6EL
The beasts around the cave became frightened by the unusually screams of a phoenix near the mountain, and many escaped further from that area.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqi5gSCrnh
