《I Am The GUIDE》[Vol.1] 0015: Tell Me (3)
Advertisement
Everyone in the tribe is drunk because of the beer they have been drinking for the past 10 hours. They all seem lofty enough to not remember how to properly fight back.
Apparently, they will fall in a panic once Hugh got out and his restriction is lifted.
They may have played with him before but Hugh was inside a prison room that blocks off all his might that the birds can toy him. Yet, once Hugh got out of his prison room, they will be filled with fear.
"Because next week, there is going to be a trade between the birds and the Sciuridae quite far from the tribe to avoid any surprise attacks from either side."
A trade, of course, there is a high possibility of ambush from either the Bird Tribe or the Scriuride Tribe to have all the benefits for themselves.
'Sciuridae? Isn't that squirrels?'
[Yes. The squirrel tribe within this forest, Sciuridae. They are the ones with the greatest talent when it comes to inventions.]
'Strange. Why are the animals of this world similar to my old world?'
Surely, it is not just a mere coincidence. Though Daniel said some animals look similar to the Earth's animals but still...
[Because most of these animals came from the Earth, they simply evolve as they adapted to the environment. The Lord is to blame.]
This implies that it was the bastard that Reece has first meet after dying is responsible for bringing Earth creatures to this world. However, something does not add up.
'These animals don't exist for many years though?'
Reece was well informed that this world was a trillion years old and these creatures have been there quite a long while as well.
[That is right. However, the Lord has control over time. This world needs a caretaker which resulted in the Lord picking them up from the future and places them in this empty world. ]
Hence it is not a coincidence.
'That guy...'
He just casually pick them up from the future... Reece sigh.
Just like how he chooses Reece for some unknown reason to work as a guide.
"Reece? Excuse me? Sir Reece...?"
Reece got lost for a while that he was not able to follow what Azure was saying.
Coughing in embarrassment, he stated.
"Ahem. Continue."
"Yes... As you said, today might be a good chance but truthfully, whenever there is a feast going on or something similar where the tribe is too loosen, it is when the warriors and hidden warriors, who are acting as assassins and watchers, are highly on guard. You might not have noticed it yet but the warriors are still sober and are actually high on guard."

That is true.
These birds are not the kind to lower their guard when there is a feast as it is when the tribe is vulnerable to any attacks. Reece could see the eyes of the strong-looking warrior birds, they are sharp and clear and are not clouded.
He could also feel the presence of the birds on their dark feathered bird form on the trees everywhere. Of course, he was sure they are not aware of Reece and Azure talking in hidden.
"I see. Then what of about the trade?"
'A trade huh.'
Reece heard something interesting today.
"You see, the ones they are trading with each other is something important as I heard. This suggests that the Chief will send most of our strongest bird warriors to assist. By the time that we let go of Hugh and attack, there will be not enough warriors to defend the tribe."
However, Reece was contemplating very hard.
If he follows Azure's plan, he and Hugh will still think of revenge and made it their goal instead of settling themselves and just focus on getting stronger. But the warriors and other bird tribes are already planning on avenging their tribe when Hugh and Azure are ready and will only lead to war.
Noticing Reece's complicated expression, Azure quickly followed on.
"Oh, do not worry. I plan to ambush the warriors after the trade is done."
Thus Azure began to explain the entirety of his plan.
Dismantling all the alarms is Azure's job as he has already studied how to do it while Reece will locate and determined how the secret alarm from the higher-ups works since Azure cannot access their designated building as it is too dangerous, so it has to be Reece.
Though Reece does not know how to dismantle an alarm, Daniel does.
After they have done taking care of the tribe members with Reece using nature to restrict everyone's movement and to trap them as Azure and Hugh finish them off.
"Hold on, you want me to use my control of nature?"
"Yes... is it too difficult?"
Azure cautiously asks.
'Is it?'
Reece was talking to Daniel. Didn't Daniel say Reece could not copy their abilities and prowess when he copies their appearance? How will he able to control nature then?
[There is nothing to worry about as we could use your divine power to control nature.]
Divine power. What is it?
The user of divine power has divinity and divine powers granting them an immense amount of raw power beyond the mundane, making users a divine being by nature, a status that can be obtained in a number of different ways.

Chaos possesses and uses divine power when he created the worlds and gave birth to all. This suggests that by using the divine power given by Chaos to Reece, they will be able to control nature too as nature is the product of Chaos's divine power.
[Divine power and nature. Although they are completely different from one another, they have quite similarities as well.]
'Really?'
[Morever, most will not be able to tell it was a divine power instead of nature as your divine power came from Chaos, which means it has a similar aura to nature.]
'Most.'
This indicates that no one will be able to tell it was divine power unless it is another God or someone who also received the power of divinity.
First and foremost, divinities live with Chaos so they can tell it was from him even if they are the weakest of the divine race.
If that is the case, Reece will not be busted as a fake fairy.
'I guess I am fine.'
Reece then said.
"No. Please continue what you were saying."
Finding a solution to his concern, Reece urges the bluebird to continue discussing the plan.
Azure acknowledging then continued what he was saying.
He said he was already planning to go after the warriors alone as Reece and Hugh will follow the escape route that Azure has prepared. Then they will meet at the location that Azure will tell them.
If there is a reinforcement coming, they will abandon the chase to the warriors who left for the trade and instead prioritize escape.
"Ah, I thought you were letting them live."
"No, that will never happen. I plan a complete annihilation after all."
Reece was suddenly feeling cold.
'Why is he talking about killing so casually?'
Azure was planning a complete annihilation, which means it also involves newborns, children, and elders, but he was too casual about it. And that is what makes it scarier.
Yes, Reece did agree to cooperation but it was not him who will do the killing but Daniel anyways. He could simply close his eyes as he waited but Azure is different.
"Did you already killed someone?"
He cautiously asks.
Why else would he talk about killing so nonchalantly when he has not yet killed anyone?
Could someone who had never kill his whole life confidently say this with a smile?
Azure touch his chin and act as if he was trying to remember if he already had experience in the killing. However, he actually has never forgotten the ones he had killed before.
"I did kill four birds from a different tribe when I was 14 but made it so the Bird Tribes could see it as an accident."
'Ah.'
Reece gasps inside.
So Azure did kill someone before. That explains why he was not afraid, unlike Hugh who is much stronger than the bluebird Azure but could still not handle seeing the dead bodies of his fellows birds.
Unable to respond, Azure believes Reece must be feeling tired again so he decided to dismiss the talk today.
"We should rest now so we could visit Hugh early tomorrow. I am sure most of his family is still under hangover, which is much better."
"Why do you think it is better? Won't they watch us from afar?"
Talking about their plans in Hugh's prison room where his family could hear was a bit... It is like completely giving away your plan and your life.
"Oh, do not worry. I used to visit Hugh once every two months for the past 8 years already just to play and talk to him so they will not be suspicious of me anymore."
So Azure did care for Hugh considering they have been allies ever since Hugh was still 4 years old.
"I see, but I am curious. Is Hugh aware of your plan?"
Complete annihilation means that Hugh's grandparents, which he spends years to get their sympathy and love, will have to die as well. No one will be saved, however, will Hugh want that? Would he truly just accept everything after working hard for their affection?
'Will this really work?'
Reece has doubts about Azure's plan as Daniel did not say anything as well. He was worried something will go wrong and fail on the first day of his job as a guide.
