Chapter 105 – Turmoil Within The City

This is a mess… bury their bodies before the smell of blood attracts the other beasts.

Ezkael interjected once all the reptilians were dead and bleeding onto the ground.

I have a better idea.

Calron responded, as thick bolts of lightning spread from his scale-covered arm and charged directly towards the two closest corpses in front of him.

The smell of charred meat wafted into the air, as the azure lightning rapidly disintegrated the flesh of the corpses until not even the bones were left remaining. Calron proceeded to burn the rest of the bodies, and finally walked back to Avi.

You know, maybe we should have checked their clothes and try to find any clues of who they were. This is clearly an isolated forest, so they must have come here for a specific purpose.

Ezkael murmured within Calron’s mind.

Calron stopped momentarily when he heard his Teacher’s words.

Why do you always tell me this stuff after I’ve already done it, and can’t reverse the situation anymore.

Calron shook his head, but continued walking. Even if his Teacher had told him that before, he was not sure whether or not he would have had the patience to interrogate them. The only thing on his mind earlier was to kill them as fast as possible.

“You have nothing to say?”

Calron asked out loud while picking up Avi from the ground and tilting his head to the side.

“Y-you’re really a human?”

Rebran stuttered as he fell flat on his back.

The only race that his father hated more than dragons were the detestable humans. They were the ones who had forced the beasts to be locked up in the Desolate Mountains. Furthermore, according to his father’s words, humans liked to enslave beasts like him.

“I am a human. However, I am also a beast just like you.”

Calron explained without turning his head, as he checked Avi’s fur to locate the open wounds and treat them before they became infected.

Her wounds closed up already?

A brief expression of surprise flickered across his face when he noticed that not even a scar was left behind from the previous punctures in Avi’s skin.

Meanwhile, Avi snuggled up in Calron’s embrace and playfully licked his hand. It appeared as if she had already forgotten about the whole kidnapping ordeal upon Calron’s arrival.

“Are you a Beast Emperor then?”

Rebran inquired, as he slowly stood back on his feet.

He did not know why, but he felt like he could trust this person in front of him. The way he cared for the little wolf pup and the fury he exuded when she was hurt, all showed that he was definitely not evil. Dangerous, yes, but not evil.

“Haha, I’m not a Heavenly stage expert. Enough with these questions! Now tell me, who are you and what are you doing here?”

Although Calron did not know why the reptilians were here, he had a feeling that it had something to do with the young white lion in front of him.

“Umm, I’m Rebran?”

“Not your name, idiot. I mean where do you come from and what is your purpose in this city?”

Calron explained, as he began spreading the burnt ashes of the reptilians around so it did not pile up in one place.

“I actually come from the neighboring city, and I’m the son of a Beast King! Hehe~”

Rebran proudly gloated as he puffed up his chest.

“A king? That makes sense…”

Calron quietly muttered to himself while thinking of the images he had previously seen in Rebran’s mind.
