Chapter 444: [ Gold Strip Bear ]

From behind Allen, a massive figure appeared all of a sudden.

It was over five meters tall. A massive bear with red fur and golden stripes. It was probably a monster and not a wild animal.

ROOOOOARRR!!

You could tell that the red Bear was bad news with just a look from a distance, an existence not to be messed with. Everyone could see that it was a born warrior.

“… …”

“… …”

Seeing the red bear, the group in front of Allen stared wide-eyed. That’s… isn’t that Gold strip bear!?

What is it doing in this kind of place!!?

Gold Strip Bear are Peak Emperor Realm beast that inhabited the inner region of this forest. They are ferocious and violent. Strong and bloodthirsty. It was even said that an adult Gold Strip Bear was capable of slaughtering a crowd of four to five Emperor Realm experts.

It was one of the monsters that one wished they would never encounter!

However, this kind of monster was usually living in the deepest region of the Blood Desert Oasis… what is it doing it here?!

The two men started trembling and even the two children started weeping and crying while looking at the monster bear. Totally scared!

“Grrrrrrr!!”

For a few seconds, Allen and the bear stared at each other’s eyes in silence.

“Hey, what are you doing here?” Allen speaks softly. A voice akin to that of just meeting a friend.

But the bear didn’t share the same sentiment as it only responded by raising its massive paw. Its eyes red and seem to be in frenzy.

“Gaaaaaaaaaaaa~!!”

While raising a roar that echoed into the surroundings, the massive bear smashed its paw at Allen. The seemingly simple movement was, in fact, carrying a very violent and destructive power that can even smash a huge boulder into pulp.

“… …” Allen didn’t move and instead look at the expanding paw in front of him and then it started blazing in flames, releasing a murderous heat.

The heat it's generating was rapidly increasing in temperature!

If it was normal people, they would surely faint from despair as they would be able to tell that things were taking a turn for the worse.

If it was other people, being roasted by an open flame wouldn't just be a metaphor anymore.

However, Allen was different. The incoming flame didn’t the least matters to him.

So that’s how it is… Now, Allen knew why it had attacked him.

This bastard… was it attracted by the smell…?

Allen clicked his tongue. Although it wasn’t noticeable by weak monsters but it doesn’t mean those really strong ones wouldn’t. His blood and flesh was now a delicacy for powerful monsters especially flame type beasts.

Since he wasn’t emitting his Monster King aura, they would dare to attack him. However, releasing his aura would also be a problem of itself.

In this forest, there was not only Monster King but two…

He doesn’t want to attract those monsters attention; after all, this was Celestial Realm. Those bastards are even worse than Gang Leaders from ancient times… war is unavoidable! Especially, since he wasn’t a native but can be said to be guest or even an invader!

Haaa--- although he was satisfied with this power but it also gave him a lot of trouble!

Bang!!

The massive paw smashed Allen’s head. The bear’s eyes gleam but before it can celebrate, it suddenly felt coldness coming from his arms.

Gaaaaaaa!!!

The massive bear roared in pain and stumbled away. When it pulled its hand from the dust-laden place, its entire arms was already frozen solid. Beautiful white colored ice covered its entire arms, emitting smoke.

When the dust and smoke settled, Allen was still standing in his original position, his feet somehow burrowed on the earth and a large crater surrounded him. However, under the dumbfounded gaze of the people; around Allen was an almost transparent silhouette of a beautiful woman.

It was hugging Allen and her arms were circling around his neck, like a bounded ghost. Eerily scary but beautiful…

Then, before the bear could stand up again, from above Allen, several icicles materialize and shot towards the bear, instantly killing it by making it almost a porcupine. Blood gushed out from its wounds; a small river of blood appeared, running through the ground.

Seeing the Ice Queen, Allen’s smiled gently but hidden within his eyes was also pain and sorrow. Right now, the Ice Queen has no sentient unlike before. And although the Ice Queen would appear whenever he was in danger, it would attack those who meant ill to him and then disappeared… as if she was programmed too.

And because of their fusion, the Ice Queen’s power had apparently decreased significantly to accommodate Allen’s status. It was probably because, if the Ice Queen’s power was stronger than Allen, he would be suffering the backlash of the power itself, making harm instead of good.

When the massive bear died, the Ice Queen slowly disappeared.

Allen immediately received his emotions and turned around with a smile. The two men were about to use the commotion to escape but unfortunately, they didn’t dare take action.

The Gold Strip Bear, an Emperor Rank monster was actually killed in just less than a second. What sort of human being is this…!!?

Is this still logical…?

Just how strong a person can be to be able to kill a God Strip Bear in one attack…?

Scary… just thinking about it is really scary…!!

“Now then, what is the deal with the two children? Of course, if you answered honestly and be obedient, I will surely let you escape and overlook the fact that you are trying to kill me…” Allen smiled amiably. “So, how about it?”

At this moment, the two men finally gave up any sense of revolt at the same time the two couldn’t help but have a rising sense of respect and fear towards Allen.

The only unexpected thing was that the normally bright and smiling young man, once attacked, would have such a heartless way of killing.

The terrifying demons in the world... when dormant, people would even think that they were only mortals, weak and harmless. However, once they made a move, a country would be annihilated, and a thousand armies would be destroyed as the world mourned in a white silk dress with its shaking mountains and rivers as the heaven and earth collapsed!

This boy was given birth by the heavens unlike them who are lowly commoners…

Heavens doesn’t do justice…

Heaven’s doesn’t work fair…

“This…” The leader hesitated for a bit but before he could say anything, the horse face guy beside him took the initiative to answer.

“We are ordered to kill them.”

“… ??”

“Lando!”

“It’s fine, boss. With this, you can say that you didn’t betray the group. I’m the one who betrayed the group!” the horse face whatsoever, Lando said with a determined expression.

Oho… a good man, despite being a horse face… Allen grinned faintly. A brotherhood like this was rare…

People betray even their most intimate kin for benefits. That is always been the same whatever kind of world there is… so this kind of relationship was to be respected…

“Lando…” The leader’s body trembled as he seemed to be touched by the horse face.

Well, Allen wasn’t interested in their BL moments, “So, who are these children then?” he cut out.

“… They’re the son and daughter of the marquise of the Water City. The Strong Soul Company had received a commission to silently kill them by borrowing a monster’s ferocity.”

“Marquise… huh, was it the Lygos family…?”

!!?

“… I see.” Seeing the two men’s reaction, Allen confirmed his suspicion. What is this? Is his fate connected to that woman?

The heck is this….

That can’t be… coincidence sure is scary~

“Who is the one who ordered such heartless commission?”

“… …” Before Lando could answer, the leader of the group answered instead. “We don’t know. Only the master knows.”

Allen narrowed his eyes to see whether he was lying. Heartbeat… aura… breathing… there’s no strange fluctuation so he wasn’t lying.

“I understand… since I was already here and a bit connected to them, might as well save them in passing. Of course, I will uphold my bargain. I won’t kill you, I’m not that heartless~” Allen laughed heartily.

“… Thanks, the young master,” The leader sigh. Whether it was due to relief or helplessness, he doesn’t know.

The two children stared at Allen in hope and admiration. After hearing what Allen said, they now understand that they were already safe. They are not stupid children unlike those of the same age. They had some of this so-called wisdom of a noble status.

“Big brother…” After wiping tears away from his face, the boy runs towards Allen. His eyes sparkling as if he was staring at Superman.

“Th, thank you…” The girl, on the other hand, was fidgeting with a bashful face, though her tear—tainted face was strangely glowing.

Allen shook his head and patted the boy’s head.

Allen slightly hesitated before lightly smiling: “Unfortunately, I still have something to do here, so I can’t bring these children with me.”

“Big brother?”

“So you bring these two kids back into the city…” Allen smiled.

“What?!” The two men who were feeling pardoned were suddenly startled as they looked at Allen strangely. They wanted to kill the children, you know!

What the hell is this man’s brain made of?

“Of course, the moment I arrived in the city and learned that something happened with these two children, then, no matter where you are hiding, you can say goodbye to your mercenary company whatsoever. I will kill all of you, no matter who you are.” Allen’s loud and imposing voice resonated in the atmosphere. The two people’s expression instantly became rigid when they heard him.

“… …”

“Do you understand?” However, at that moment, Allen’s eyes looked sharp, he looked extremely frivolous and it didn’t seem like he was joking. He would have never joked about such things anyway.

When they were hesitating on what to do, an insanely brutal and sharp aura filled the atmosphere while emitting whistling sounds. Behind Allen’s body appeared an illusionary spirit.

The illusion was none other than the beautiful woman a while ago. Its two piercingly-cold eyes were staring at them as if saying, ‘obey him and die’.

Ice and frost appeared in the atmosphere and covered a huge area. The ambient temperature immediately fell. It was incredibly cold.

“Y, yes…”

“We understand!”

They immediately got cold feet and stepped back. A chilling cold enveloped their hearts.

“That’s good,” Allen’s smiled handsomely. “However, I’m still worried, so, Laura, help me a bit.” After calling her name, from Allen’s chest, a golden light came out. Then, when the light landed, it then transformed into a beautiful woman wearing a simple maid uniform with frilly designs.

“Master!” Laura cried out happily. She then immediately kneels in front of Allen.

“Laura, how many times had I told you that you didn’t need to do that?”

“No way, master is master, after all!” Laura smiled happily. Her face showed extreme love and affection, worship and adoration.

Allen sighs. “Anyway, help me look out for these two children and send them into the city. Protect them at will…”

“Children?” Laura turned her gaze to the boy and the girl who the moment they saw her, immediately hide behind Allen.

“I understand master…!” Laura nodded. She didn’t ask why nor who they were. Allen’s order is absolute. She didn’t need to ask anything as long it was Allen who had ordered her.

As Laura spoke, the ground suddenly shook. In fact, it wasn’t just the ground; it was the entire forest shook violently as if there was an earthquake.

This is…!?
