《Rise of The Tyrant》8. Because of Suffering
Advertisement
Ciel did another search.
But that doesn't mean he goes further into the forest, sometimes he goes south again.
This time, he stopped at the lava river where he found a large horde of Golems battling an adventurer group of over a hundred people. They were quite strong, and some of those Golems were at Level 13 and there was already one that had just died when he arrived.
He was quickly attracted to them.
If he could get something without fighting, it was naturally a better thing.
He watched them, waiting for more Golems to die.
The adventurers also didn't immediately take the Cores of the dead Golems because the other Golems didn't let them do so so they had to kill them too first.
In ten minutes, they had to finish the fight or at least to the point they could take the Cores or they would become Raw Cores.
On the other hand, Ciel, who was watching them started to count the dead Level 13 Golems.
"1."
"2."
"4."
When four of them died, Ciel immediately decided to make a move.
Swish... Swish... Swish...
Like lightning falling from the sky, he appeared by the side of every dead Golem. The other golems couldn't do anything about it because he passed them without actually passing through them.
After retrieving the four Cores, he appeared on a large rock in the middle of the river.
He ignored the surprise of the adventurers and immediately swallowed the four Cores he took.

"Good, only ten more points!"
Ciel looked at the adventurers who were now looking at him in confusion.
At this moment, there was another one who had managed to kill a Level 13 Golem.
Ciel didn't think much, he appeared at the Golem's side and took its Core.

The adventurer who had killed the Golem instantly froze.
"Kid, you?" He said subconsciously.
"What? Mind if I take it?" Ciel asked with cold eyes.
His demeanor did not look like that of a robber, but of an Emperor who took taxes from his subjects, as if it was natural for him to do so.
Anyone would be offended to be treated like that even by the Emperor himself, not to mention by a young man who looked like he had just graduated high school.
Even so, the adventurer did not dare to act rashly.
Ciel's teleportation ability still stunned him to this day.
Meanwhile, a woman in her late 20s, probably a southeast Asian woman suddenly came.
Her appearance wasn't too much, just quite pretty while she was wearing long jeans and a black tank top.
Both of her hands held a sword that was clearly a Low Grade Silver Weapon.
Since she was in a combat stance, her aura radiated from time to time so Ciel could tell she was at Level 16.
He had not seen this woman before, maybe she was their captain.
While he was staring at her, Ciel stuffed the Core he just took into his mouth.
Ding...

"What?" He then said to the woman, still in an arrogant manner.
"You are the most arrogant I have ever seen... I know you suffered a lot before you got this power of yours," she said with an expression, gaze, and tone of irony.
"Are you saying that I'm petty and mentally weak?" asked Ciel.
He naturally understood himself well, it wasn't something that needed to be discussed as he didn't like it.
Basically, he was like a poor man who became arrogant because he suddenly got riches.
In fact, he's not the only one like that.

During the early Evolver era, so much was like that when people who were previously nothing suddenly had power over the common man.
This can only be said to be human nature.
There are indeed those who become benevolent heroes after suffering and gaining strength. They were the kind that were praised as extraordinary people, but Ciel wouldn't be one of them.
He wasn't the type to help starving people just because he knew the pain of hunger.
It was precisely because he knew the pain that he didn't care that other people felt it too.
Some things can't be forced. If he wanted to force himself to be a hero, he would only be a hypocritical hero.
And how could that be when he couldn't even be a little low-key for the sake of avoiding trouble.
Of course, there are some people between the two types. Maybe a few words could change their minds, but Ciel was far from that.
Seeing his completely unconcerned attitude, the woman finally couldn't say anything, she could only knit her brows and say something else.
"Well, it seems that way is more suitable for you... Then, can you please stop bothering us, we are just a small Guild that has to work hard to earn meager results. You, on the other hand, can easily get big results with your abilities," she said. In the end, she could only beg not to be disturbed.
“I want to leave before you come,” Ciel replied, causing the woman's expression to deteriorate slightly.
"You should know that your ironic attitude and gaze is something someone like me hates the most," he continued.
"You!" Each of the swords in her hands lifted slightly as she said, "don't go too far, I've never been afraid to fight."
"Are you sure?"
Ciel looked at the adventurers one by one.
With an evil expression, he said, "I could just kill them one by one while you can only watch."
