Few Hours later, 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaUPaOt4Cn
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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpfwNdRlfD
"Hey"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkLPt3ZvF7
Egil turned around to see a young man behind him. When he examined his aura, he could see that he was a bear.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8j6LRpGmK
[oh, it's just a bear] 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLsCCMzYWN
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.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxltpOO9YqR
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNytpGn5pDD
Axel used his ability [instant Freeze] and completely froze Egil in his place.
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv3YDRxgnT
"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"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJOd04sxjY
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhk6Kxm2Ir
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.
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyx2d68eKF
[Don't joke with me! ME? get defeated by a rat with no aura?!]690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp2Zwm0AJw
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MV4zZUHeU
Egil released his aura without holding back, and the ice melted quickly. His aura was crimson red and radiated with heat energy.
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KXEfWPQ48
Before Axel could ask anything, he noticed the ice was melting, but instead of panicking, he chuckled.
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1IpVQN1CM
"Not bad, kid. Surprised you lost with such strength"
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4KXACsrtK
"Get out of my way"
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUeNv5C9bC
"hmm?"
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CivG1cv9W
"Once I'm done with that rat, you'll be next, so get out of my way"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE5LzZQ1IZ
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzElInfqIg
"Oh, the girl over there? You're saying she's a rat beast? but she doesn't have that kind of aura though?"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWR7LfwQT7
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQH47tQprZ
"Get out of my way"
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn7hSwCLCI
"You really are rude aren't you? What if I say no?"
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdwsdRwFsI
"Then I'll just have to get rid of you first"
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53oOvEsgdd
Before Egil could move, however, he found himself pulled down by a great force, and got slammed into the ground.
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7q0VcS1ny
"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"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTiqGYfef6
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEwlTsMJzq
"W-WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??!!"
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvEkjf5VMk
"Nothing special, just some gravity force skill, not that big of a deal. Come on, can't the almighty phoenix handle it?"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviSZNpZi6a
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPzzMKPr3o
"DAMN YOU!"
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCuwAM1Ahd
Axel smirked.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuKxCudWb3
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpyjBenFsw
"I'LL KILL YOU!!"
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1lvruB94L
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.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVoZQVx78g
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIAv37KGmK
[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]690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPQBoZJ46n
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FCoRezdWH
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.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu9xABSp3B
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehXsNaYjGl
[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]690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB9YXh0R57
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYJXtNmXb8
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.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VcR3vNcfS
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LKyk2N2Cq
"Damn hyenas"
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8FDDro33R
He put Aylin on his shoulders, then moved the dead mammoth into his cave.
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSH0gkQTTb
"Like hell I'm letting anyone eat MY kill"
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kPehhn2ED
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.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCjlqMWLGS
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHsUKjVAqG
After all, if a beast in unconscious for a long time in its human form, it is bound to return to its original form.
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg5xlvq1iV
With many questions in his mind, Axel went back towards the Walnut Wood Clan.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZAYPsvV6G
In the cave,690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VmTjxa8Rk
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uMnKcPnR1
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!!"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb30BJQeKa
The beasts around the cave became frightened by the unusually screams of a phoenix near the mountain, and many escaped further from that area.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujeG9RiH9U
