Now then…

What should I do next?

Kai told to himself as he took a look at the situation.

Hmmm…

There are still many of them left, but it looks like that we have a good chance of winning, since there are many of them whose are trying to flee at the moment.

Their leader has just been defeated by a mere child, I guess no one can blame them for that.

Is that fire magic that I see? Seems like Eri has also joined in, even though that I told her not to since it would only ruin her reputation…

But there is no point crying over spilt milk! I wonder just how many times I can count on that line?...

*Sigh*

I guess can count on Eri and Dasti-san to clean this up.

In the meanwhile, I guess I should go and spend some valuable time with that uncle of mine, hopefully it will be enough to stop this foolish war…

I wonder how much it costed him to start this nonsense, just thinking about the numbers is enough to give me headache, I guess I will never understand the rich…

‘’Hoooo~’’

‘’!?’’

Kai immediately turned around as he heard the playful voice of a young male.

Since when??

I wasn’t even letting my guard down, ‘’Perception’’ didn’t pick up any danger either… Unless he doesn’t have any mean to harm me? But I can’t trust on that…

Not after giving his friend a good beating…

‘’To be able to defeat Tet-san, you must be quite strong aren’t you~’’

Eric spoke cheerfully as he was standing right next to the unconscious Lizardman.

‘’…’’

Kai didn’t reply as he was yet once again trying to analyze his opponent.

System

Unable to use ‘’Eye of spirit’’ on the target.

Skill recommendation: Appraisal.

An object… ¨

Without soul??... Fine let’s use Appraisal then.

System

Name: Fenrir’s guardian stone (sealed)

Durability: ∞

Item rarity: Mythical

Enhancement: Divine possession

One of the seven divine beast’s guardian stone, this item can only be obtained by befriending the named divine beast itself.

….

A mythical item?? Those are extremely rare, aren’t they?!

Normally there are five grades when it comes to item rarity: common, uncommon, rare, national treasure and legendary.

Mythical is usually not included in the rarity list, since they are almost impossible to find, so far there have only been three mythical items that have been discovered, according to mother’s book.

The first one being the seed of life which belong to the high elves, but sadly its full potential is still unknown.

The second one would be the Excalibur, and for some reason it still has the same story behind it as the one on earth except that it’s currently in the possession of the Holy church… Wait, doesn’t that mean that Bedwyr never return the sword??

Anyways the last one is the mountain’s heart which belong to the Dwarves, it’s said to be an unbreakable shield that can change its size and weight at the wielder’s will, the only problem is that the shield has its own will so only the chosen one will be able to wield it, the last owner was the late Dwarf king who made it into the gate of his kingdom before he passed away to protect his people.

This guardian stone is somewhat similar to what Akira used to manipulate his wyvern, but just much better?

Well of course it would, this thing belongs to a divine beast after all.

According to Akira they were created to be the pillars of this world while the god and goddesses are absent, he himself is very familiar with some of them for some reason, I mean he even got the Kraken’s ink for free and all???

With that being said, this is no time to be amaze, I have just beaten up his best friend, pretty sure that he is pissed… Why does trouble always find me at the worst moment?

‘’Hmmm, you sure gave him a good beating, didn’t you? Good thing that he isn’t dead, or else... I cannot promise you what would have happen.’’

Eric ended his line with blood lust and a monstrous aura that is made out of pure mana, this alone would be enough to petrified or even kill a normal person, even though that it had lesser effect on Kai, it was enough to make him prepare himself for dead match.

‘’…’’

‘’Well, I guess, it’s good for him to experience these kinds of thing once in a while…’’

Eric responded in a calm tone as he turned off his aura to take a look at his unconscious friend.

…

As a few moments went by, Eric slowly turned back to Kai with a curious look on his face…

‘’By the way, what are you?’’

Eric sniffed a couple time with his nose to confirm something then continued.

‘’Your smell is weird… Extremely weirddd! Monster? Human? and even the smell of the Undead? I can’t tell… There must be much more behind that shell of yours’’

…

‘’Smell?...’’

Kai murmured but it was enough for Eric to hear his word.

‘’Yap, smell, in fact you stink!’’

‘’…’’

Kai went silent for a moment then actually tried to sniff himself…

What is he talking about!? I don’t smell!?

‘’Ahhaha, of course you can’t smell yourself dummy, only I or my kind can do that, you see, usually a person would have one or two kind of smells, the most that I have encountered so far is five, and you just broke that record… By a lot!’’

Eric replied with a cheerful tone and widen eyes, as if he himself has just found a hidden treasure.

‘’I see..?’’

This must be one of the many racial traits that he has?

Just like how the black panthers have amazing agility and our tribe whose got amazing strength and endurance…

Still… This might sound weird but Is he able to smell my soul? I must inform Akira about this, but first, I will have to defeat him…

Kai told himself as he prepared his weapon, but his offer was quickly turned off by Eric who is now shaking his head as he put up both of his hands up to refuse.

‘’Ahh, I’d love to fight against you, don’t be mistaken, but to tell you the truth this is only a tiny piece of me, you could say 1/10 of my power? My chance of winning and bring back Tet-san to safety is pretty low, not to mention that… Don’t you have something better to do?’’

Eric ended his line with a devilish smile as he pointed his finger at a fancy carriage on the hill nearby…

‘’Ohhh my, it looks like that they are running away! That would be a big problem wouldn’t it? Since he is a noble, he must have many connections, he could even come back with an even bigger force and even more skilled, tsk tsk… That would be no good, won’t you agree?’’

‘’…’’

Indeed… Even though this has costed him a fortune I doubt that he is running out of money anytime soon… To end this foolish war, I must eliminate him at all cost, even if mother ended up hating me for it…

Now that I mentioned mother, she didn’t tell me what to do with him afterward, did she?

Is it because that she didn’t expect me to come this far? Or Is she simply trying to spare him?

After all this?... I mean, they did grow up together, it must sadden mother to see him this way…

But what he did was unforgivable.

….

Kai suddenly went silent as he got absorbed in his own thoughts, leaving behind the impatient Eric annoyed.

‘’Oiiiii, are you listening??’’

Eric asked with a dissatisfied look on his face, but Kai still paid no mind to him…

‘’Children these days sure are blah! Blah blah blah??’’

At this point Kai can no longer hear Eric’s words, but instead he has finally made up his mind.

…

I have decided, there is no other way…

Even if I let him go, he will still come back and cause trouble, that guy is a maniac, a psychopath, a hopeless idiot and a racist…

Oh, and a siscon, but that doesn’t really matter.

Wait, it does, isn’t that why he is who he is? I guess it does matter after all, but that is not the point here!

The point is, there is no cure for stupidity…

That’s why I must eliminate him to prevent any further causalities…

After fighting against his own thoughts for some time Kai has finally came into a conclusion and as he did, he quickly disappeared into thin air, leaving Eric behind with a pair of red puffed cheeks.

Chapter 27 end…
