Chapter 574: Glimpse of the Past (1) (2/2)
”For me?” The boy responded with surprise.
”Un,” Heinrich nodded, ”You're too easily distracted and playful, never able to stay focus for long. However, the [Heart of Saint Mantra] might be able to help...”
Suddenly, Heinrich Escladus paused his steps before the boy glanced ahead with confusion.
”Snow Tigers!” The boy exclaimed.
A group of small Snow Tigers could be seen following behind a bigger adult-size Snow Tiger just ahead of the father-son duo.
The adult Snow Tiger was quick to notice the duo before it also paused its steps. It gazed back at the father-son duo with a guarded and wary expression while protecting its young.
”Grrr,” The adult Snow Tiger growled softly with a warning.
The boy frowned before Heinrich Escladus comforted, ”Easy, son. That Rank 2 Snow Tiger is a mother that is just trying to protect her children. It shouldn't attack us if we don't get any closer. It's fine. We can just take a detour around them.”
Heinrich Escladus was not concerned for his son's safety with him around.
Furthermore, his son was young, but he is already in the Revolving Core Realm due to the ingestion of high-quality cultivation pills.
”Alright,” The boy nodded.
However, he continued to stare at the Rank 2 Snow Tiger as they were leaving. At the same time, the Rank 2 also stared back with soft growls.
The repeated growls made the boy's frown deepen with annoyance before his eyes slowly glowed with a crimson sheen.
Roar!
The Rank 2 Snow Tiger felt threatened before it roared at the boy.
Swoosh~!
The boy immediately reacted as if triggered by the Rank 2 Snow Tiger's roar, leaping over from his father's shoulders with intense blood lust in his eyes.
With the boy's cultivation in the middle stage of the Revolving Core Realm, the Rank 2 Snow Tiger was no match for the boy.
In a few exchanges, the boy sliced up the Rank 2 Snow Tiger with his short sword like a frenzied beast, splattering the Rank 2 Snow Tiger's flesh and blood all over the white snow.
The baby Snow Tigers nudged the Rank 2 Snow Tiger's motionless body before they issue weak roars like a cat's meow.
The boy raised his short sword in preparation for killing them all too, but he was stopped by Heinrich Escladus.
”That's enough, Leon. You did not need to kill them,” He admonished with a sigh.
The crimson sheen of blood lust faded before the boy apologized, ”Sorry, father. My body reacted on its own again.”
”I know. You need to learn to control your Devil's Impulse better,” Heinrich Escladus lectured.
”The saying goes as; the impulse is the devil, father,” The boy corrected.
”Right, right. Impulse is the devil,” Heinrich Escladus nodded wryly.
Shortly after, the boy spotted something in the distance before he softly exclaimed with a pointed finger, ”There's a small village up ahead, father.”
