Few Hours later, 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc0gxYZv5i
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. 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBll1MKvW1
"Hey"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MlvrPR2x7
Egil turned around to see a young man behind him. When he examined his aura, he could see that he was a bear.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWC20FwBwO
[oh, it's just a bear] 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6ziuQey34
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.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq64VNDU76
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmWDumqE2f
Axel used his ability [instant Freeze] and completely froze Egil in his place.
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdjE7ksH3K
"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"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbiQFm6boj
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9tkmBHVC1
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.
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC1c7s9zu7
[Don't joke with me! ME? get defeated by a rat with no aura?!]729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0PkyMixuP
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CiLTeZKeT
Egil released his aura without holding back, and the ice melted quickly. His aura was crimson red and radiated with heat energy.
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFevnP9NVNg
Before Axel could ask anything, he noticed the ice was melting, but instead of panicking, he chuckled.
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DLJ0W7Rl9
"Not bad, kid. Surprised you lost with such strength"
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFWIs18f6y
"Get out of my way"
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UsirPYUGY
"hmm?"
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ7qzoorjE
"Once I'm done with that rat, you'll be next, so get out of my way"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3q89C7nXT
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp6enOll17
"Oh, the girl over there? You're saying she's a rat beast? but she doesn't have that kind of aura though?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQeidyjIGw
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGloAkadAz
"Get out of my way"
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNIGvuYuAB
"You really are rude aren't you? What if I say no?"
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYxabv9TfC
"Then I'll just have to get rid of you first"
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCUM7k0iWC
Before Egil could move, however, he found himself pulled down by a great force, and got slammed into the ground.
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtTmqjLUF6
"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"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcQpVfssCP
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0Vhlk9v4f
"W-WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??!!"
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiqeZLUIMd
"Nothing special, just some gravity force skill, not that big of a deal. Come on, can't the almighty phoenix handle it?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0LWG9scsy
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfOTL47LPy
"DAMN YOU!"
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9BuXFKB0j
Axel smirked.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DxDEWIYKl
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbhdH8Tpxw
"I'LL KILL YOU!!"
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfAehHKWCu
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.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCYdBo3qfS
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFyXP6d9nO
[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]729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ8YRpJ0KN
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy1Rnc0Vq9
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.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66pnzur2Ly
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJBVbGngfs
[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]729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCYOQT96wN
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN7vHfEdyF
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.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDupeH1CSIt
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl95aYE48NF
"Damn hyenas"
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH1mePZrEV
He put Aylin on his shoulders, then moved the dead mammoth into his cave.
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkEEoTmESQ
"Like hell I'm letting anyone eat MY kill"
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweLxGCD9ny
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.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FGIsK6Qhe
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcoNmnQ2yb
After all, if a beast in unconscious for a long time in its human form, it is bound to return to its original form.
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3VTGE1rFR
With many questions in his mind, Axel went back towards the Walnut Wood Clan.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTU1P92cT1
In the cave,729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64xjdNt8PW
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfTaNG6cu9
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!!"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8BqrmBA4l
The beasts around the cave became frightened by the unusually screams of a phoenix near the mountain, and many escaped further from that area.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeTbGI3XnY
