The terrifying presence was different this time .

It was slightly longer yet it wasn't even two seconds but enough for Kieran to precisely determine where the presence came from .

However, Kieran stood still . The tremble beneath his feet hadn't stop either .

In fact, the waves of tremble only began to erupt .

Kieran would also be helpless against the wrath of nature . All he could do was wait patiently .

At the same time, Kieran's attention was locked on the man's back .

There was too much mystery surrounding the man, to the point that Kieran's instinct told him that the man had a hostile nature .

As for the man himself though, he was still standing where he was, calmly looking at the lake water .

Ripples rippled through the surface of the lake and turned extremely muddy because of the ground's vigorous tremble . The man frowned a little as he continued to looked at the scene .

"Hmmm?" A slightly displeased sound came from the man .

The slim man didn't have any actual movements in regards to the tremble though, all he did was express his dissatisfaction with one sound .

As the sound from him came…

The earthquake stopped completely .

Kieran clearly sensed the surge of power beneath his feet was forced to a stop and the process of it turning calm . That tremendous power that was enough to flip the world over was suppressed down forcefully just as it was about to emerge, or in a more appropriate way, it disappeared like it never appeared before .

"WHAT KIND OF POWER IS THIS!?"

Kieran squinted his eyes, drawing out [Arrogant Word] directly . His muscles were tight like a loaded spring, ready to throw himself at his foe like a jaguar as he gazed at the man before him like he was his mortal enemy .



Even a rare nervousness appeared in his heart .

The strength that the man showed was enough to overwhelm him .

Those who could oppose even natural disaster… only the God of Earth Nikorei had such an achievement recorded .

Yet it was just recorded from books, it was the first time Kieran encountered such a fearsome existence .

Kieran's brain was spinning quickly . He was thinking if the man would strike at him, what would it be, how would he react to the attack, defend, counter or even . . . retreat .

Kieran wasn't a stubborn person with an old-fashioned sense .

He was respectful to those who still fought even though they knew they would be no match but it didn't hinder his thoughts of retreating .

Deep inside, he knew he wasn't the kind of martyr that would sacrifice himself valiantly .

Those who did would be known as heroes .

Kieran, was just a mere mortal .

"It seems like you are hostile against me . So, I see the previous incident has caused some misunderstanding?"

The slim man said as he faced Kieran with his back . His tone was still as calm as before and his words were direct as ever .

Kieran kept quiet because his heart didn't assume that was a misunderstanding .

"I am quite surprised by your appearance and I think we could have a good talk, but somehow some others are anxious…Well, so do I! Do as you please, regardless of how it turns out, I will pay you with rewards . Of course, a deposit will be issued first!"

The man was saying a lot of confusing words to Kieran .

Though as he spoke, he finally turned around to Kieran .

It was nothing but a common face, if he wasn't within this estate that would strike one speechless and presented such unimaginable power, he would be nothing but a passerby .



The only feature on the man was youth .

He seemed around the same age as Kieran, around 16 to 17 .

He even shared a similar temperament, a youthful face yet a mature temperament .

Even more, coincidentally, Kieran's pupils and his were black!

If Kieran's feature wasn't as distinguishable, Kieran would be looking into a mirror .

The young man saw Kieran's astonished face, yet he smiled lightly following a reach of hand .

The Pawn Fire Raven egg plus the nest that Kieran hid under his hood flew out straightaway into the young man's hand . [Crimson Ghost Stomach] couldn't really hold living things, not even eggs .

When Kieran reacted to it, the young man already had the nest in his hand . A blurry mist came out from the young man's hand was infused into the egg within the nest .

The nest then flew back to Kieran .

Kieran caught the nest but his eyes were locked dead at the young man .

Even Kieran was within range, he couldn't even sense the power within the white mist . If it wasn't for his own eyes, he wouldn't even believe the white mist existed .

"Fearsome power!"

He commented in his heart and was thankful to himself that he could never be too careful .

Though, the young man seemed to not notice how cautious Kieran was .

"I was planning to explain it to you but now, it seems like you have to go investigate on your own . "

His words were clear but his figure started to drift away .

When the last few words of his sentence came out, the young man's figure vanished into thin air without a trace .

The wind breezed over the pavilion .

Kieran suddenly felt a cold at his back . He only realized his back was drenched because of the cold sweat that broke out without knowing when .

"I'm too far apart!" Keiran thought .

Then, his initial speculations started to wobble . After all, with the strength the young man presented, should he want to deal with Kieran, petty tricks wouldn't even be necessary .

The young man could very well crush Kieran with raw power .

Kieran was certain that it would be as easy as flipping a palm with the young man's power .

"Yet he didn't… Perhaps…"

While he was still pondering the question, the nest in his hand started to rumble .

Ka, Kakkakaa!

The surface of the raven egg started to break out and was soon followed by cracks all over .

When a light red beak burst out of the eggshell, the whole egg was hatched .

An almost naked Pawn Fire Raven was hatched from the egg, which could only be considered to be very ugly .

"He saved the time for me to hatch the egg… so this is the deposit?"

As Kieran's words subsided, that smaller than a chick Pawn Fire Raven started to grow at an exponential rate .

Its naked body had thin hair growing out and soon turned into raven feathers . The feathers were slim and long, growing into a plentiful amount . Its body even expanded like a balloon . From only a thumb size chick into a palm-size bird, eventually growing to the length of a forearm .

A clear, sonorous cry from the raven .

It quickly gobbled down the remaining shells in its nest and jumped onto Kieran's left shoulder, rubbing its reddish black head at Kieran's cheek .

Witnessing the hatching process of the Pawn Fire Raven and how it rapidly grew in size, Kieran took out [Merman's Meat] without further ado .
