Chapter 221

"Oi oi, chotto mate, I'm just asking. You don't have to be angry and turn your head around."

"Hmmp!"

The tiger scoffed, he was insulted because his master compared him with his mortal enemy. As a maiden like him, it was a big disgrace, how could he do this, the tiger was always with him but the first thing he compared him with was the Kyubi.

His eyes didn't look at him as he was mad, tears slowly showed but he hid it with his acting, Mikael scratched his head, he didn't know that this tiger had a fragile heart. In fact, he didn't even know that this tiger knew Kyubi.

'Wait, is he even talking about that Kyubi, Kurama? Does this mean that Boruto's dad is real?'

Mikael touched his chin, he was curious, but his interest dissipated when he heard the humongous tiger speak.

"I'm Raijin of the Shinto."

"Okay, and?"

Mikael asked as he didn't know who he is.

"That's enough for an introduction, for now, you have to understand why you are here."

Raijin evaded the question and went to the serious topic. Since his connection with Mikael was strengthen when he climbed level 500, Raijin could talk about the next they meet. For now, he had to talk to Mikael about the importance of defeating the Manticore.

"Mikael, you are the only one who can confront the Manticore head-on, in this present time, no one had a strong immunity to curse except for you. You suffered six years for a curse which made you invulnerable to any curse, I can say that your hardship had been paid. The Manticore's eyes can absorb any soul as long as he saw it, he is dangerous and hard to kill. I can kill him if I'm in my true form but with this feasible tiger, I can't."

He sighed and reminisce about the past, he was at his top at that time.

"Ah yeah, I feel like that monster is tickling me whenever he looked at me… so he actually wanted to kill me, that mother fucker."

Mikael clenched and realized that the Manticore could actually kill him if his curse work. On top of that, he recalled how his tail stabbed and injected poison in him, he madder now.

"Oh shit, I forgot, my body is poisoned right now! This is bad, I have to go back or else I will die."

"Don't worry, you are already safe."

"Huh? What are you saying?"

"You will know it when you return."

Mikael had a dumbfounded expression when Raijin stated that the poison wasn't fatal and someone administered a cure for him. Mikael was a bit confused but he nodded and believed him, he didn't know how to return anyway. The tiger didn't show hostility toward him even though he was humongous and could kill him, Mikael decided to trust him, he felt a connection between them that made him trust him.

"Okay, I will listen to you, and? What do you want to talk about?'

He crossed his arms and looked up, his neck was bent and even with that, he was having a hard time looking at the tiger. He was too large, his white fur with the stripe of black, and his piercing eyes, Mikael shivered looking at him. How could a tiger get this big, he thought.

" First, I want to warn you that your world is in danger, at any moment, the Demons will come and corrupt your planet. Once that happened, things will be hard for you and your friends."

"… What do you want me to do?"

"The answer is already obvious, get stronger, stronger enough to kill the Demon Lords. You have to reach level 1000 and become a god."

"Ah? Now, that's is new to me."

Mikael was surprised to know that reaching level 1000 meant being a god.

"No, it's not like your being a God. You must have your divinity, that's the only so that you won't be affected by their corruption. Your body can endure the suffocating miasma."

Raijin added, he had a history with the Demon and they were terrifying beings, even if he could face them head-on, the main problem was that the place they fought on became dead black. This was the downfall of many gods, they couldn't protect their planet and die together with the population. Raijin lost his true form fighting them, he was defeated and became a part of history. This enormous body of the tiger was just a portion of his power, it was a disappointment for him to be like this.

However, he didn't have a choice, this was the outcome of the losers. He was actually lucky that he didn't die, Raijin had a melancholic face remembering it.

"I have a way for you to level up faster."

"Good I'm listening."

Mikael was intrigued and put all his ears at the tiger, as a powerful being, Mikael believed that Raijin had knowledge that he didn't know.

"Kill, the Manticore. Millions of souls were inside that abomination, they were intangible but they were already ingrained in the monster. They were the people he killed many years ago, they were stuck in him. If you kill him, those millions of souls will come out and give you tons and tons of xp."

"Ooohhhh!! Wow, that's great information! Hehe, it's good that I'm the only one who can fight that creature head-on!"

Mikael became excited and yelled loudly. Raijin chuckled at his reaction, he was amazed at how the power system of this world works. It used the death of the monsters to give experience to the Hunters which made them stronger, he didn't know where it found this type of concept. Even the power of this planet was so bizarre for him, such as the ability to put someone in pictures or the Materialization, these were hard to see powers in his world.

'Usually, it's all about bloodline and hardship, but in this place, as long as you kill monsters, you will become stronger… I don't know how she did this, where did she get this concept?'

The tiger narrowed his eyes as thought about it. Raijin coughed and further explained his opinion.

"You have to kill the monster before he gets bigger and hard to kill, he will be hard to fight if he absorbed more people."

Raijin urged him to kill the Manticore.

"Yosh!."
