A couple of minutes later the arrest of the party started hearing the old woman's voice as well. Soon enough they spotted her walking slowly between the trees and checking behind the bushes.

"Hello!" Drake was the first to show himself. "What are you doing here, granny? This place isn't safe."

Though he said that, they still had yet to meet any magical beasts since entering the forest.

"Hunters!" The moment the woman saw them her eyes went wide and she immi ran over. "Please! Help me find alv-!"

Before she could finish she went into a fit of coughing. Edith walked over and gave her a water skin. After a few gulps the old woman breathed in relief then gave her thanks.

"First of all you need to calm down." Drake said. "Take it slowly and tell us what's going on."

"Yes… I'm looking for my grandson…"

The old woman's name was Ela and she came with her twelve year old grandson Alvin to the forest that morning to gather some tough mushrooms. She had dozed off while taking a break and when s

    The cave was filled with luminous moss so they party didn't have to light a torch. The more they advanced into the dimly lit cave the heavier the atmosphere got. No one dared to speak they all kept their ears and eyes open ready to take action at any moment. The cave seemed to widen the deeper in they went. Soon enough it was wide enough for them to walk comfortable and after a while they arrived at a large cavern where the beast using the cave as a lair lived.They saw the mountains of white bones and the ground black with dried blood. It was a nauseating sight and they all had to fight the urge to puke. Drake was unfazed though, carefully scanning the cavern. His eyes fell on a large black rock with a white spot on its top. [Silver Back (B) lvl 55]"That's the Silver Back." Loki whispered. "As I said, the kid is dead. Let's retreat."Drake looked at Loki and said"We can't retreat now. Besides, this is the perfect chance, right? You've been wanting to hunt for a while now."Loki

    "Hey, why the long face?" Loki asked."I… don't know… something felt off about that Silver Back." Drake said.The party had arrived at the next city. Roland and Edith went to the port to check on when the next ship to Goldenwoods would depart while Drake and Loki went to sell the Silver Back's corpse. "Maybe it was suck or something?" "Nah, magical beasts don't catch illnesses." Said Loki. "It's the one of the good parts about becoming one.""It wasn't injured As well. I wonder what's going on with the beast these days." This was the second time something weird concerning magical beasts occurred, though it wasnt as wierd compared to a Crimson lord appearing in the summer. "Well, no point in thinking about it." Said Loki. "We're hunters. Our job is to kill beasts, as long as we're able to do that we have nothing to complain about." The two soon arrived to a shop that buys and sells materials extracted from a beast. The owner was a tired looking middle aged man with hair that was l

    The trip to Goldenwoods was much shorter compared to the one between Iceland and Sharpstone. It was still night by the time the party arrived. Thinking it would be for the best if they got some rest they looked for an Inn and spent the night there.Once the morning came they gathered once more to plan their next move.Unlike the last time they decided to take a carriage to the next port city. They had already wasted enough time on the last island so they couldn't afford to do the same with this one.They managed to reach their next destination before the sun set but there was one problem. The ship going to Ironside would depart in the next morning so they were forced to stay a second night on Goldenwoods. With nothing that could be done they had to patiently wait. That night Roland and Loki went out to drink and ended up going too far almost missing the ship as a result. Edith gave them a long lecture forcing them to apologize to Drake. The trip to Ironside took about nine hours. D

    "So the beast in question is a… Thundercloud?" Edith said sounding a little perplexed."This doesn't sound good…" said Roland. "Don't tell me…" Loki looked at him with a weak smile."Yes. Thunderclouds are beasts native to the mainland. Specifically in the Golden Darkness mountain range near Ouroboros kingdom." Roland explained. "If I have to guess I would say it got separated from its flock and somehow ended up drifting here.""That's quite a long distance from its home." Loki sighed."Thundercloud, huh." Drake said looking at the info poster he's unable to read. It contained a sketch of the beast in question. It looked like a giant black serpent with traces of gold here and there. A small stickman like figure was drawn beside it to show how bit it was and from the looks of it it was about twenty meters long and about two meters wide."Have you seen one before, Roland?" Drake asked, looking at the tallest among them."Not from up close. They usually stay in their flocks and rarely e

    "So, Laura. What do you think our odds are?" A man asked, his eyes locked on the paper in his hands. "Not very good, I would say." A young girl replied, her fingers moving a pen as she scribbled something on another piece of paper. "We've gathered the numbers, but they're all amateurs when it comes to working in big groups. I'm afraid that would prove to be a big problem during this hunt.""I get what you're saying but…" sighing once, the man added. "We don't have a choice."The girl sighed as well, slowly shaking her head. Just then they heard a knock on the door."What?" The man said, annoyance cleared in his voice."Soldat, I've brought some people who want to participate in the hunt." "Hank, huh. Bring them in."Drake and the others had followed the man named hank to a certain inn. Waiting for them in one of the rooms was a pair of Hunters, one was a middle aged man with rough features and a brown toned body. His long black hair was bushy and unkempt, the bloodshot eyes peeking

    "Scaring away an SS tier beast? Yeah right." Drake said as they exited the inn where they had their meeting with the leaders of the Little Giants.His annoyance was clear. Before this everyone thought he wasn't being serious when he spoke of killing the Thundercloud, however seeing his reaction to what Soldat and Laura said, a strange feeling began to ring the danger bells in their heads."C'mon Drake." Said Loki with his usual aloof smile. "You didn't really plan on killing the Thundercloud, right?""Ah I will kill it, alright."His answer only seemed to put the whole party on edge. "You aren't being serious, are you." Said Roland in a serious tone."Of course I'm being serious." Drake said. "From what I've heard so far it seems like a chance like this doesn't come by so often. Only an idiot would waste it.""Or maybe sane people who don't want to die." Loki retorted."I know you like your adventures, drake." Said Edith looking concerned. "But this isn't something you can decide on

    "Aaaaag! That was great!" Drake exclaimed as he patter his belly."You sure like spicy food, huh?" Loki said, his mouth still open as he waited for the effects from the secret sauce to disappear. "You two are monsters." Edith said, subbing. "How could you do that to me!""Sorry sorry, it was just a harmless prank, you know."Roland's apology only served to anger the girl more and more. Unlike Loki who had forced himself to finish his sandwich, Edith gave up after the first bite. She cried real tears back then, but her shock inky increased when Drake asked if she isn't going to eat her share, taking it for himself. In the end she was givin a normal dish without the sauce free of charge as an apology. Even so she was still angry about what happened.Even Roland, the one who brought them to Frank's Corner, couldn't handle more than one serving. Drake on the other hand not only ordered seconds, he also took Edith's portion finishing all three without taking a sip from the milk that was s

    "An SSS grade, you say?" Drake wasn't the only one shocked by the revelation. Loki, Edith and Roland all had their eyes wide open staring at hand unable to believe what he said."That's the reaction." Said Hank, pointing at the three. "This happens to everyone who hears it for the first time. Though you seem a bit different."His last remark was directed at Drake whose eyes turned to the girl on the platform, directing a sharp glare. "You've probably thought about it when you first saw her, right? What's a beautiful young lady doing with a group of rough hunters like us.""Well, rough doesn't really describe you." Loki said jokingly.Ignoring him Hunter went on with the indo dump."Apparently she's the daughter of a high ranking Nobel from Ouroboros. Thanks to her family's status and connections it's not difficult to see her obtaining something like an SSS grade Soul.""I see…" Drake kept glaring in the girl's direction. It only took her a few moment to feel his gaze but the moment

    A lot of things happened after the battle against the Dragonspears. When they reunited with the others, Drake learned that Peter had saved Edda and her hound as well. Turns out the two were actually in a secret relationship and she was the one who came up with the whole plan of destroying his contract and escaping. Apparently she was of a rare race of Beastkin that possessed healing abilities. Since her bloodline was too valuable the Dragonspears wanted to make her a part of their family instead of enslaving her then harvesting her Soul. Healers were a rare commodity so even if they're Beastkin they're always treated well. That said, she couldn't get over the fact that she was sold like an object and was looking for the perfect opportunity to betray them. The weirdest part of all was that she had fallen in love with Peter despite him being nothing but a cloud of smoke. Drake was confused about how they planned on making it work, however the girl said that a magic that allows Beastki

    "Why…?" Rollo asked his voice hoarse. He was on the ground, his lower half was lost, both of his arms as well. His wounds were frozen preventing him from regenerating. The frost was spreading killing his cells one by one. "I dont really know what you were expecting." Drake said, scratching the back of his head. He hated Rollo. Killing him was only natural. Still, seeing a kid laying on the ground having suffered such grave injuries Drake almost felt bad for him. Almost. He wasn't about to feel sympathy toward someone who planned to enslave him. "I… thought… we could be… friends…" the boy struggled to speak. His lips had turned blue and the breaths he struggled to release with each word turned into white fog. "I wanted you… by my side… we could've… we could've ruled… the upper realm…" "Friends? That's a really bad joke." Drake snorted, mocking the idea. "I only saw you as the bastard who wants to turn me into a weapon. I guess you have succeeded in that regard. Bet you didn't exp

    Something about Rollo began to change. The aura covering his body began to fluctuate. He dropped his spear and his blue eyes turned bloody red. Drake heightened his guard. He felt that something odd was happening.The red haired boy had used the effects of the redacted title to force his main Soul to evolve. It was a Red Dragon. Though the name was simple, it was the Soul of one of the seven primal beasts that once ruled over the upper realm, the ones that put an end to the first Eternal Night. The final stage of its evolution is the Light Dragon. It was as rare as the Eternal Night, never found in the wild and can only be reached by cultivating the beast Soul with the help of the system. All of the other Souls Rollo had assimilated were consumed to gather enough Essence for the evolution. The forced process did the same to him as it did to Drake and caused him to lose control as he entered the second stage of assimilation.Scales began to grow on his arms and legs. A thick white t

    The moment Drake chose the YES option everything suddenly went black. He couldn't see or feel, it was as if he was pulled out of his body, left as an accumulation of thoughts without a physician form. Time passed. He didn't know how long but at some pont he opened his eyes and looked around him. The black castle was a mess. Corpses everywhere missing most of their remains. Weapons of different types and sizes, broken and destroyed. Armor and shield thrown around bent into unknown shapes. What caught his attention the most were the crystals scattered around and the strange artifacts here and there. They didn't look like anything he recognized. Little did he know what they were magic weapons that had been used on him. The black castle was destroyed. Most of its buildings had crumbled. The walls surrounding it rendered to dust. Upon further inspection Drake noticed white flames here and there eating at anything that had yer to burn. Thay was enough of a clue for him to tell what had

    Drake Went around hunting the apprentices looking for him. He approached them peacefully then took the chance to erase them using his void hand. Sadly it didn't go that well till the end. As he was erasing the forth one the fifth saw it and took off. Drake was unable to catch up with him and he ended up warning the servants who went around warning the other apprentices or guards. It was a shame that he couldn't go about it in a more quiet manner, but nothing could be done about it. Tossing the oil lamp he was carrying, drake coated both of his arms in the black flames. He faced the oncoming enemies and prepared to attack."What are we supposed to do!?" One off the guards asked. "He's an important guest of the lord, right?""They said he had killed some apprentices. Until we do a more thorough investigation we have to restrain him for now!"They didn't have to wait though as they got the proof they needed soon enough. The first guard to approach Drake had half of his body erased. Dra

    Drake gave Layla and Lily a few minutes to have their reunion, however they needed to move quicker so he told them to save it for a later time. They needed to get moving before the main members of the Dragonspear family are informed of his disappearance.

    "Alright." The shadow said. "Everything is in place. Let's get going."Drake took a deep breath then nodded. The time to execute the plan has come and so the two began to move. The shadow enveloped Drake teleporting him to the first location."... Drake?" Layla said, seeing her the boy fall out of the sky.Roland was there as well, taking a fighting stance the moment he saw the strange shadow."We got no time. Come with me." Drake said. Without asking any questions the two came closer and were enveloped by the shadow as well.The next time they opened their eyes they were in an unfamiliar location. Roland was on his knees in no time, struggling to breath. Layla was able to tell they were in the upper realm, and not just anywhere but in a Nexus point where magical Essence was concentrated the most."We are going to revive Lily." Drake said, opening his inventory and taking the little girl's soul. "Wait. What's going on? Isn't this… too sudden?" Layla asked."I'll go keep an eye on th

    "So? How are we going to do this?" Drake asked. "You're asking for my help so you should already know how to remove the curse, right?" "Huh? Do you believe me now?" The shadow spoke, his voice containing a hint of joy."Nope. I didn't even decided whether to help you or not." Drake said, waving a dismissive hand. "First of all, let's hear what you have. I'll decide after I hear your plan."... okay, that work just fine, I guess." The shadow said with a sigh. "When I was still a kid someone sold me to the Dragonspears. The slavery contract is a magical item that binds me to the one who signed on it, the family head.""You arent going to ask me to kill him, right?""Of course not!" The shadow exclaimed. "Well, it is one of the possible solutions, however killing that monster is impossible. Our only choice is to find the contract and destroy it.""So? Why dont you do it already?" Drake asked."Because I can't." The shadow replied. "I can't defy my owner, remember? That means I can't bre

    "GOD FUCKING DAMN IT DRAKE! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!" The shadow was really pissed off. He had barely managed to teleport them outside the cave before it collapsed. Now they were in the field with the new Frost King's corpse Rollo had killed a while ago."You could've gotten us both killed!" The shadow went on, berating Drake for his unreasonable actions. Drake didn't give him much thought, gripping his sword and preparing to continue his attacks."What the fuck do you think you're doing!!?""I don't? Killing the bastard who's trying to use my dead brother to make me do something?" Drake said, cauting his blade with the black flames."I am your brother!" The shadow said. "Well, I did die and got reborn so I guess you have a point. But it's really me! You gotta believe me!""Yeah right." Drake went on to attack, swinging his sword again and again. "You're still as crazy as ever." The shadow said, swooshing here and there avoiding the flurry of attacks. "Did you like this world? Vi
