Few Hours later, 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGCSQws2g2
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. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZIe6HBNAi
"Hey"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs6BDBRsGU
Egil turned around to see a young man behind him. When he examined his aura, he could see that he was a bear.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhHMX0vwwQ
[oh, it's just a bear] 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkglxQYUM5
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.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjKZTpIVA5
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExkb97puVt
Axel used his ability [instant Freeze] and completely froze Egil in his place.
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCrvCL0FpY
"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"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoiyRLUwNg
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlhYUsEWmg
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.
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUrH43txuE
[Don't joke with me! ME? get defeated by a rat with no aura?!]655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP2OMILfhP
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5JBJNtb34
Egil released his aura without holding back, and the ice melted quickly. His aura was crimson red and radiated with heat energy.
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuw2k1dviO
Before Axel could ask anything, he noticed the ice was melting, but instead of panicking, he chuckled.
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgy99aJE19
"Not bad, kid. Surprised you lost with such strength"
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh11q9uxJt
"Get out of my way"
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOElNftlAtB
"hmm?"
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDTtBaGd7e
"Once I'm done with that rat, you'll be next, so get out of my way"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7d6QGNQZ5
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjqaWb5909
"Oh, the girl over there? You're saying she's a rat beast? but she doesn't have that kind of aura though?"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4fiOatqyY
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVnXp1su1j
"Get out of my way"
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X0qI2AxQV
"You really are rude aren't you? What if I say no?"
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiV3Ye9WIk
"Then I'll just have to get rid of you first"
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2G1RF6ijX
Before Egil could move, however, he found himself pulled down by a great force, and got slammed into the ground.
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQuAkUp5mV
"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"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl3QYM7uUh
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHvuKjlyeP
"W-WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??!!"
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxo0i1n2qZ
"Nothing special, just some gravity force skill, not that big of a deal. Come on, can't the almighty phoenix handle it?"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlEaoAQMqi
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomog6mzJLH
"DAMN YOU!"
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8Avz9o2hc
Axel smirked.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzqUh6ZM03
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLN5uTKlgT
"I'LL KILL YOU!!"
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQL7Tx2qAv
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.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v9WSukeGt
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJAgBLu4qU
[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]655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINzFe0LKtA
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8qrKPA8EW
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.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfRoyWLuEk
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cvprzXqQC
[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]655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsjWvTfF98
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF8E6TDIJ3
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.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtl0Ob1ltn
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4J4KnjD7o
"Damn hyenas"
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VxgQ4pY3d
He put Aylin on his shoulders, then moved the dead mammoth into his cave.
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrsA48kNsk
"Like hell I'm letting anyone eat MY kill"
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFxQlCZllj
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.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMbXEZVgMq
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH0nWzkWpK
After all, if a beast in unconscious for a long time in its human form, it is bound to return to its original form.
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKgujoujhJ
With many questions in his mind, Axel went back towards the Walnut Wood Clan.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fmcBLzT4U
In the cave,655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcaV6qQFNv
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxJCISdkIG
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!!"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmib3KxaXQd
The beasts around the cave became frightened by the unusually screams of a phoenix near the mountain, and many escaped further from that area.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanmC9SCohI
