When night came, Almasin had ordered Magnus to gather the Beastman Scouts in a plain field outside of the Northern Gate of Asmahan.Almasin wore an emotionless expression as he walked in a dignified manner, totally calm and collected. Heading towards the northern gate.The gates opened while Almasin went outside. He noticed over fifty people were gathered, wearing dark clothing that can be hardly seen at night."Elder, as you've ordered, I've gathered over fifty Beastman scouts, and they are ready to be deployed." Magnus said while bowing.Almasin raised his hand, while Magnus stood up properly. "Good work," Almasin said.Magnus nodded and took a few steps back, standing behind Almasin while he faced the gathered beastman scouts."Tonight, you guys will be infiltrating the southern gate of the royal capital. Make sure you avoid any unnecessary conflicts and head straight towards the northern gate." Almasin spoke while staring intently towards the gathered men in front of him."After y
In which every step he took showed sophisticated confidence while showing an arrogant look on his face as he looked down on both Erza and Axel's existence with utter mockery.His entire body started emitting lava while steam seeped out from him, slowly making the coldness of the night succumb to hotness.Axel felt disregarded knowing that he wouldn't be able to land a hit on their opponent, knowing that only individuals capable of using mana coating can harm a skill user such as the Draconian Knight they're currently facing."Step back, young one; I'll handle this." Erza abruptly said while blocking Axel's front with her sword.Azard mischievously smiled while slowly burning the entire floor due to his lava dripping profusely with each step he took."Let's see how long you can last, you eight legged freak. Keke!" In that instance, Azard immediately rushed forward towards Erza, in which he appeared suddenly at Erza's front. Erza jumped back along with Axel, who put further distance bet
Two days had passed, and Mayu and Douglas had continuously run without hinting at exhaustion.We've been running for several days now. How much further could they have traveled?" Mayu pondered.I know that people who've reached the realm of the advanced stage are capable of acquiring a lot of stamina. With the help of mana, their capabilities are boosted. But seeing how their tracks are still freshly carved into the ground, I'm sure that not more than three days have passed. Especially their footprints resembled walking, just by seeing the distance of each mark they've left.Yet how come they're nowhere to be found? Could they've also been traveling at night? But a human child won't be able to travel nonstop without resting." Mayu pondered, showing a hint of curiosity."Hey, look at that," Douglas said after stopping Mayu.Mayu slowly raised her head, noticing the trees scorched to bits while burnt grass drenched the land."What happened here?" she mumbled."It seems that a huge fire
As both Axel and Erza ran with bright smiles on their faces, they unwillingly noticed that they were already outside of the forest's shade.In an open area, they stood, circling around with their heads held high, under the bright sun."We're finally out." Axel paused after seeing a man standing beyond them.Patiently standing firm in a dignified posture with his hands behind his back. His face was unclear; his silhouette was all they could see. While he exuded an aura of power and authority similar to that of a king."Who's that?" Axel asked.Erza shook her head softly and responded, "I don't know. He somehow looks like a beast man.""State your names!" The man yelled with a deepened voice, showing a hint of order."What did he say?" Axel asked, feeling dumbfounded by the man's overwhelming voice."He asked for our names," Erza whispered. "My name is Ezra, and this child is Axel." she stated in a loud tone.The man started walking towards them, only to be surprised after seeing Axel's
He ran without suppression, breathing heavily while sweat dripped from his eyebrows, hinting at signs of exhaustion and fatigue. Running for several days straight without sleeping, and after a short period of rest, he must continue running again."Fuck, I feel tired." Douglas mumbled as his pace became slower due to exhaustion and being sleep deprived.Douglas knew that the beast people wouldn't bother unless they successfully reached their territory. Since Draconians won't carelessly act irrationally against the Beast people."So by any means, we must escape this forest in order to survive," Douglas murmured to himself, showing a distressful expression."Douglas! Wait up!"Douglas immediately stopped and turned around to check. There he saw Mayu, Almasin, Erza, and Axel running towards him.Huh? Why are they following me?" Douglas wondered, since he knew that Almasin wouldn't let her daughter go back to a dangerous place..........A few minutes earlier, Douglas left in a hurry."Pa
Near the Center Plains, Azard's corpse is located.Demise, Barto, Gileyn, and Dalius stood in front of Azard's corpse. His body was slowly being connected to the ground. Vines were sticking through his skin while he was slowly being dragged into the soil.Demise trembled, showing hints of remorse in his wavering eyes. Azard was once known to be the hardest to kill due to having a unique deviant skill through which he could manifest his skill's elemental properties.But how come you still died like this...?" Demise pondered miserably, kneeling in front of Azard's corpse."Commander, we'll have to take a day to rest and replenish our mana. We've been flying for several hours continuously," Gileyn said."Barto, Dalius! Immediately bury Azard's corpse!" Demise said loudly while staring into the sky.Barto and Dalius nodded. They immediately followed Demise's orders and buried Azard's corpse in the same location where he was found."Whoever killed him, we will find them and kill them. Brea
After several hours passed, Axel and the others finally reached the center plains of the forest. The wind breezed as it welcomed their arrival. There was no one to be seen. Neither trees nor piles of rocks were seen on the vast central plains.Only tall grasses and mushed bushes were to be found in the vicinity of the entire center plains.Monster people immediately started building removable tents, while others lied on the ground, gasping heavily due to exhaustion.While those who still had the energy immediately mobilized themselves to secure the area.Axel and Erza were removing the silver platform they had used when they were approached by Elder Garudo."Hello, Thank you for helping us." Elder Garudo said politely, showing hints of gratitude in his voice."You are welcome, Elder... "Garudo, You can call me Garudo.""Oh, okay, Elder Garudo. This boy here cannot understand Laplace language, So if you want to tell him something, please pass it unto me." Erza said, Holding Axel's shou
The Monster people stood in awe after witnessing the miraculous healing that Axel had shown.Healing mostly occurs over a longer period of time, depending on the wound's size. Especially a large and deep cut that Kibaki had would gradually take longer to heal, even with S-Rank healing skills."Um..."Why is everyone staring at me? I feel so embarrassed somehow." Axel pondered, Slightly showing an embarrassed expression.I never thought that a human child could possess such healing abilities. Even the Dog people who mostly acquired S-Rank Healing skills can't heal a wound as severe as Kibaki's in an instant." Almasin thought, staring intently at Axel."Please stop staring at him, everyone. He's a bit shy." Erza uttered.The monster people then started coughing and went their way, while Kibaki was still astonished after feeling regenerated from the pain he had been enduring."Um. Thank you." He mumbled.Erza then held Axel's shoulder and said, "He said thank you."Axel nodded and replie
