70 True Strength (1/2)

Time passed and the alpha deer returned, this time, on its back, it was carrying the same baby deer that stopped running earlier.

The alpha deer carefully removed the baby deer from its back, then Edwin approached it.

The boy saw that the little deer was only sleeping, which made him heave a sigh of relief. However, he sensed that it was currently weak.

”Don't worry about this little guy, he's dormant right now after he was exposed in the Magic Frostbite for too long.”, the alpha deer said.

After a pause, the herd leader added, ”Come with me, human.”

Edwin nodded, but then he remembered that the smart beast might kill him. He started to hesitate whether to follow or not.

'Well, I won't be able to escape even if I wanted to anymore.', Edwin made up his mind and decided to come with the beast.

After he saw the true power of the alpha deer when they were escaping from the Magic Frostbite, he felt that even if he used Flicker to run away, he won't be able to maintain a long distance from it, just the destructive beam of light from its antlers would be enough if the herd leader got serious!

The both of them walked away from the herd, on the way, many animals looked with innocent curiosity towards Edwin, like it was their first time seeing a human.

But when Edwin looked back at them, they would stop looking at him and ignore him.

In addition, he also noticed that the animals were making way for them, no... rather, they were making way for the alpha deer.

The alpha deer could be compared to a celebrity.

A very dangerous celebrity.

This scene made Edwin curious about what kind of deer was in front of him right now.

When they got to a certain location where it was far away from the nearest animals, the alpha deer stopped walking and introduced himself, ”My name is Rein, the alpha of the Highborn Emperor Deer herd.”

'Rein? Catchy name.', Edwin thought, but he didn't dare say it out loud in front of the powerful beast.

”So, what brings a human like you in the depths of the Monarch Forest?”, Rein asked, his tone was now the exact contrary to the time that he tried to kill Edwin earlier.

The boy thought at first if he should answer honestly or not, and in the end, he chose to tell the truth, ”I came here to kill the demonic bear.”

Rein made a curious gaze and asked, ”Are you kidding me, right?”

”Well...”, Edwin scratched the back of his head. Now that he thought about it, it was ridiculous to try to kill the demonic bear, he even had a hard time escaping from the demonic crocodile.

”You'll never be able to kill it, because you're doubting yourself.”, Rein added.

”Eh?”, Edwin was surprised by the reply of Rein.

”No I'm not, it's just that it's probably too powerful for me after I encountered a demonic crocodile.”, Edwin said truthfully.

”And you escaped that giant lizard, without getting hurt?”, Rein asked.

”Yes.”

”Like I said, you're really doubting yourself too much.”

”How powerful is that demonic bear then?”, Edwin asked.

”As powerful as your humans' Mid-stage mage.”, Rein answered.

Edwin's eyes widened, ”What?! How could I battle something as powerful as that?!”

'Does Allen even knows how powerful that demonic bear is? He still sent me here to battle that monster!'

”And you just escaped from the demonic crocodile which is as powerful as a Late-stage mage.”, Rein added.

The last sentence made Edwin stunned again, ”But the level of my strength is only comparable to the Mage Apprentice level when I came here!”

”How could somebody as strong as that survive in the inner region of the Monarch Forest?”

”Umm...”

Now that he thought about it, it was really foolish that somebody with the same strength at the Mage Apprentice level would survive in this location.

'Why would Allen even send me here then?'

Questions kept increasing in his mind, if not for the fact that he suddenly got an increase in strength without his notice, he really would have died long ago.

”So, are you still going to battle that demonic bear then?”, Rein asked.
