Kyle remained silent as he walked through the city.
He was annoyed by Theodor's tantrum but didn't want to enter an annoying conflict with him, which was why he kept his thoughts to himself.
When Kyle had been younger, Theodor had seed like a crazy and powerful antagonist.
Soone who had been wronged by soone else and vowed to exact vengeance.
Maybe so dramatic and evil laughter here and there, and the picture would be complete.
But now that Kyle was slowly approaching Theodor's power and saw the world for what it was, his image of Theodor changed.
He was just a toddler.
He demanded stuff that wasn't his, fully believing that he deserved it, and when he didn't get it, he threw a tantrum.
'Yeah, well, it doesn't actually matter. So what if he's a baby? He still gave an Aristocrat's Body and taught a lot about power,' Kyle thought.
'Yes, yes, he's a fucking toddler, but I still owe him.'
'Just gotta repay my debt, get rid of this dumb rock in my brain, and be done with it.'
Kyle walked through the city.
On his way, he didn't see any living being.
Naturally, since the trials didn't need to remain active anymore, the golems didn't need to stay clear of this area.
The golems regularly traversed the known tunnels to clear them of all the different pests that may appear.
In a way, without all the Ore Fiends and the weird wolf things, the city seed kind of dead and lonely.
It had a certain finality to it.
However, Kyle barely paid attention to any of that and just flew onto one of the higher tunnels near the back of the city.
This city acted as the hub for most of the tunnel network. Over 20 tunnels led from this city, and all of them led sowhere else.
The tunnel Kyle had chosen was one of the less scouted ones.
Due to the close proximity of a tal Elental, almost no golems were sent to this place.
An interesting bit of information Kyle had received from Granite was that they had lost about half of all their golems within the last years due to all of the scouting.
Without Theodor, there was no easy way to create new golems.
There were plenty of machines that could create the bodies and even the Cores of the golems in the Inheritance Crypt, but the Cores couldn't be properly activated without an Artificer.
Just by learning a bit about Golemancy, Kyle could fill that role, but he didn't really care.
What was the point of golems when Kyle had all the power he needed himself? Kyle walked through a couple of caves and saw so Ferocious Beasts here and there.
One ti, he saw a Peak Ferocious Beast that had lain in wait for who knew how long.
Ferocious Beasts and Monsters didn't really need at to survive. If necessary, they could wait for the remainder of their natural lives for food to arrive.
But wait! Why did the Beast Tars and Beast Masters need food for their beasts then?
Well, just because they didn't need at didn't an that they didn't want at.
In a way, it could be seen as an addiction.
Beasts were programd to consu powerful prey. It was in their instinct.
It was already difficult enough for humans to stop taking addictive substances. How hard would it be for a beast?
Beasts from Beast Masters needed at occasionally, or they would beco nervous and unstable.
They would beco more aggressive and harder to control.
Nevertheless, there were so beasts that could deal with not having food for years.
One of these beasts was the Peak Ferocious Beast Kyle ca across on his journey.
When it saw Kyle, it imdiately beca greedy and readied itself for combat.
Yet, as soon as Kyle looked at it, it imdiately fled.
Kyle hadn't actively used his Montum, but so of his Montum still spilled out.
And this little bit of Montum triggered the beast's sense of danger.
Its instincts told it that attacking Kyle would result in its death.
The sa thing happened when Kyle t an Initial Monster a couple of caves further along the road.
And then…
There were no more beasts.
There was also no more ore here.
Kyle knew that he had entered the territory of a tal Elental.
Naturally, Kyle beca nervous.
tal Elentals were terrifying.
In general, they were more terrifying than Monsters of the sa Realm.
Their bodies were tough.
They were fast.
They had incredible offensive capabilities.
The strongest Mid tal Elental could probably fight the weakest Late Monster.
Kyle's instincts were warning him of incredible danger.
After all, his mind had learned to associate the signs of the presence of tal Elentals with mortal danger.
In a way, this wasn't any different this ti.
They still represented mortal danger.
But this ti, he was here to fight one.
Kyle gripped his hamr more tightly as his eyes narrowed.
All his thoughts about not wanting to fight a tal Elental left his mind.
He no longer complained.
He no longer lanted. He no longer regretted.
He couldn't. For more chapters visit NoveI-Fire.ɴet
He didn't have the luxury anymore.
All of these things needed brain power, and Kyle needed all the brain power for the upcoming fight.
A bad mood or a distraction could spell his doom, and he couldn't allow that to happen.
Kyle thought back to the map.
'The cave in which the tal Elental resides is not that big. At its widest, it has a diater of 50 ters.'
50 ters was quite a big distance for mortals, but for beings on Kyle's level, this was not a lot of space.
Kyle could accelerate to speeds of over 300 ters per second within a fraction of a second.
From a standstill, Kyle could reach the other end of the cave within barely 0.2 seconds, and that included the ti he needed to accelerate.
This was not going to be a varied and tactical battle.
This was going to be a close-combat brawl.
As Kyle approached the cave, he readied all of his new thods.
He could feel the tal Elental…
And the tal Elental could feel him.
There was no curiosity or thought.
The tal Elental just saw food.
And it imdiately charged forward.
