26 Masked Demons (2/2)
It was simply an exaggeration to them but in front of them was such an unusual fish.
”It seems I was right... something is happening.”
”So we can finally visit the Core circle?”
Leonard wasted no time as he instantly butchered the fish into pieces and threw out the bones. After doing this more than a 100,000 times, it was a cinch but Dean had much less experience.
Finding that they still had some vegetables they decided to create stew as they eventually got tired of the taste of roasted meat.
Dean found that Leonard liked more of the creamy style soup or the nutritious kind usually with carrots.
It was not mentioned aloud however Dean would always find himself needing to roast a few pieces of meat otherwise he would starve when Leonard chugged the whole pot.
The ladle swerved around the mixture and the aroma wafted throughout the area however the scent of vegetables was the main dominant force that no carnivore coveted.
*SNAP*
A twig in the distance broke and a nervous step was taken aback, noting the incident, Dean threw a glare in that direction before throwing a small branch towards that direction.
Imbued with Battle Intent, it darted in a straight manner, destroying every tree that was in the way until being reflected by a block of metal.
Leonard had noticed this when he was disposing the leftoversand asked
”Who're the uninvited guests?”
The two revealed themselves in front of the Masked Demons and jested with each other.
”If only you were more quiet, we might have seen their faces.”
Although it was a joke, Dean mocked it in his head.
'And if you did see my face then there would be a corpse.'
”Anyway we are here on the behalf of our organization, the Au-”
”We are not interested.”
Leonard allowed Dean to call the shots as it seemed that he had the tendency to have control of a situation when he journeyed with him for half a month.
The reassurance that was brought along with Dean's confidence made Leonard feel a hint of fear if he could scheme that well but then felt proud for being able to make such a great friend.
”Wait, listen. Our group plans on hunting a Spiritual Transformation beast in the Core Circle. Others are joining as well and in return we can give some Spirit Fruits for your company.”
Dylan added
”Make sure to meet at... the bar you sell your corpses to tomorrow.”
The man wanted to scold at Dylan's poor manner in front of these two however leaving it as is they quickly exited from this location.
”Ummm... is this what you meant?”
Dean responded to Leonard's confusion in a blank tone
”Yeah.”
While cooking their dinner both were left befuddled by their recent encounter.
Dean noticed the insignia on that man as well as the first half of that man's group.
'He's probably with Christian... this turned out to be much better.'
His grand scheme was that if they managed to somehow defeat the Spiritual Transformation beast then he could just sabotage their fight.
On the other hand, if everything goes wrong then he'll just run.
Either way there was nothing restraining him too much as he was also confident in Leonard's skill so in the end Dean will make a profit.
Leonard wasn't expecting that he would already be going to Core Circle like this but the following news made him have a sense of fear.
Spiritual Transformation.
A state of being where one has reached enlightenment.
If beasts simply roam around the core circle with that cultivation then Leonard could only hope that his life would be retained without any harm coming his way.
The only upbringing thing about this situation was that he could at least receive a Spirit Fruit.
Given the right materials he could turn that fruit into a pill with at least 4 times the effects.
It was best to just relax and wait for the ensuing adventure of tomorrow.
Dean decided that they should just take a nap in the cavern so that both of them could sleep in peace.
Waving each other good bye, they slipped into a slumber until the morning.
It was simply unfortunate for the bar that was there wasn't a name used to advertise it.
