Few Hours later, 632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxjzGstpKt
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. 632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjQ6aJy6Cl
"Hey"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaaS8nQE0z
Egil turned around to see a young man behind him. When he examined his aura, he could see that he was a bear.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnbw9gwqio
[oh, it's just a bear] 632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3GgYDpCWC
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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqASf0TOHdt
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YEKgPxCIa
Axel used his ability [instant Freeze] and completely froze Egil in his place.
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmChLNGmwYI
"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"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NORZaP5F2
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOianZxyjo
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.
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4saL0QhuR
[Don't joke with me! ME? get defeated by a rat with no aura?!]632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrIwKJcpwb
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhq0wgLuQv
Egil released his aura without holding back, and the ice melted quickly. His aura was crimson red and radiated with heat energy.
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡervsm8IGS3
Before Axel could ask anything, he noticed the ice was melting, but instead of panicking, he chuckled.
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9i41znROA
"Not bad, kid. Surprised you lost with such strength"
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMPAJRzN0E
"Get out of my way"
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFarGJznJa
"hmm?"
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5F7XBMLgj
"Once I'm done with that rat, you'll be next, so get out of my way"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0KUCDbYN5
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErDf2Uwn50
"Oh, the girl over there? You're saying she's a rat beast? but she doesn't have that kind of aura though?"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB0Dly3IB8
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEzCH67xkd
"Get out of my way"
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdOQIE8oxe
"You really are rude aren't you? What if I say no?"
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtwJFQOoZN
"Then I'll just have to get rid of you first"
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnB5K79J3w
Before Egil could move, however, he found himself pulled down by a great force, and got slammed into the ground.
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahN9TTt2Bz
"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"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO4tryJpqh
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn6EHq3rSx
"W-WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??!!"
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnd58S7seD
"Nothing special, just some gravity force skill, not that big of a deal. Come on, can't the almighty phoenix handle it?"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNugEZPfJIi
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KMQck089S
"DAMN YOU!"
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK9wqG5kwC
Axel smirked.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01fbOi8TZp
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvreCrkMCn
"I'LL KILL YOU!!"
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvZVh0ey96
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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlWYkOlJ4Z
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmovvyzTrTB
[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]632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2ByjUCPgV
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvEXZJuxtH
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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh9EG7U23l
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1U9Fvkwb5
[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]632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii6MhIrNg4
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqVhEFJuc2
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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdlQiWLyjw
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aMCwmvQHL
"Damn hyenas"
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYRKAvHGqC
He put Aylin on his shoulders, then moved the dead mammoth into his cave.
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9Qvun7mki
"Like hell I'm letting anyone eat MY kill"
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhkd9qZTqi
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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxTAXV0CcK
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2Cu2yLjUC
After all, if a beast in unconscious for a long time in its human form, it is bound to return to its original form.
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexrbg3w3Px
With many questions in his mind, Axel went back towards the Walnut Wood Clan.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeKhjX8ECB
In the cave,632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdLZjDT1go
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSWxNfdi0f
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!!"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QSnk0MsVp
The beasts around the cave became frightened by the unusually screams of a phoenix near the mountain, and many escaped further from that area.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0KPN73crk
