At Rev and Wrath's loud voice the monsters were alerted and show their self, four wolf monsters, growling and drooling, as if looking at a small prey that is easy to devour. Rev step back once with a slight tremble and gulped down his saliva. This was his first time encountering a monster and of course he couldn't just send the little bird in a frontline battle because it's still hurt and recuperating.
" Wa-Wait Wrath aren't you supposed to be strong why won't you fight then? "
" I'm sorry young master but I'm useless too, but of course I'm really amazing too. Anyway you only have a small mana essence and I'm not a beast or spirit who can just heal and recuperate easily in your mental space because I'm.... different as you can't still use me with your current level and besides I already explained that my mana essence was sealed right? "
A contradict answer was given as it looked like Rev was shot by a lot of arrows, Wrath suddenly sneered and continue.
" But... I guess it's time to teach you something about why's the summoner's emblem is special. Yes... you... young master Rev Von is the last holder of the 'Primordial Emblem' its function in a way where you can can use the origin's element though that's the same for class type of summoners, but you see... with that emblem you can gain the the attributes of the one whom you have a pact with, that's one special function on it. (although it has quite risk in using that, especially that you only just know and understand the basics of basics ) "
" Primordial emblem... "
Muttered Rev while looking at his right hand then--
* Howling! *
The four monsters wolf started to howl each other and gaze at Rev with an intent to kill.
"I don't have time to explain it with you young Master, right now just feel the mana essence of that little chick and it will flood the origin element and attributes in your head! "
" Seriously... aahh!!! I don't care anymore "
In that situation Rev can't easily escape and think other options, he doesn't have a choice but to trust the words of Wrath.
" Come on, come on! "
Rev just close his eyes, rushing his mana essence of the small bird standing on the his palm. Trying so hard that he started to sweat he poured more mana essence on that small bird, at that, he did feel it and flood in his mind, then understood easily on how he would use the element and attributes that he had gained.
" Haha... I see that's how you use it, it's late but I will name you Kirpy! "
"Kirp! "
" !! "
Rev unsummoned Kirpy back on his mental space then one of the monster wolf moved and ran towards Rev, as it tried to bite, surprise by that, Rev moved and dragged his self landing on his side from the ground. Letting out an exhale as expressing that his body was safe, he stands upand exhaled.
The monster wolf growled walking slowly and run to attack again, but Rev dodged it. From left to right, the monster wolf continues to bite, of course Rev can't win by just dodging and then he increases his mana essence, with a slight amplification. He timing his attack where the monster wolf would land on the ground and jump again, at that, he focused on the abdomen and punched it.
The monster wolf was blown on the tree, blood flow on its mouth which it stop moving, confirming it dead. Rev clench his right fist, surprised by that power, though, it was just a slight increase of strength, and with the addition attribute that he gained from Kirpy which increases his strength, he was able to kill a monster wolf with just one punch, but maybe it was just a luck because he manage to attack the weak point, expressing by Wrath who was watching.
The remaining monster wolf growled aggressively after watching one of their comrade death, with the bloodlust in their eyes, two of them run towards Rev and attacked him simultaneously.
Rev jump and increasing his mana essence to move fast while getting familiar with it, he tried to come up with the idea of putting his distance away to the two monsters wolves who were attacking aggressively. Sides steps and jumps, he waited the two monsters to jump as well and then poured mana essence in his hands, swaying it both, they were hit by a wind blade. The two monster wolves fall, coated by their own blood, as Rev landed on the ground he approach it. It wasn't fatal, but he was sure that they can't move with that kind of injury and will be dead soon with blood lost.
Rev then turned toward the last remaining monster wolf in a glint of glare, it understood the strength where the human that is standing, cannot be defeated. Growling aggressively, it turned and ran away, as the presence can't be seen anymore, Rev let out a tired sigh and fell down on his butt on the ground.
" That was close call if that one wolf attacked me some of my flesh would probably be eaten and... Why the heck my mana essence is easily depleted or as if it consumed too much "
Rev gave an answer to himself like he was already dead because he felt that his stamina and mana essence were easily depleted where as he already feel dizzy and wants to vomit. Then Wrath approach him
" Well done young master you easily defeated those lowly wolf as expected of my guidance. Thus... if that is how you felt then that must be the price that you settle with the primordial emblem that you own. "
" Huh... ( Price? When did I make a contract like that? ) Sigh... I'm too tired too think "
" Ah... anyway, those are Grey Wolf a normal type, of a monster that is supposed to roamed with a lot of companions to find a prey so you were lucky enough that there were only three of them that attack you "
" Lucky my ass! you did nothing at all but watch "
He gave a remark while panting heavily but Wrath shrugged his young master's word and laughed in a mysterious way, the sun was almost setting down and Rev ask Wrath---
" What should we do about those dead grey wolves? "
" Well this is perfect, summon your pet or Kirpy... Sigh your sense of naming is ridiculous young master "
" Urk... got a problem with that? "
" No nothing... anyway just summon it and it will do the rest"
" Huh? "
He was confused but he just did it and summoned Kirpy, looking at cheerful state Rev indicates an understanding that it is healed already and then Kirpy saw the three dead bodies of grey wolf and approached it. It started to glow slightly and the mana essence started to flow toward Kirpy's body, as if it was trying to absorb something.
" Is it trying to absorb something? "
" Yes, it's absorbing the core crystals in their body that was filled with mana essence. Core crystal is the essential part of their body that means it includes their mana essence, that's why the more an individual absorbed a mana essence the more they will grow and the more their the mana essence will increase. In addition you can sell those core crystals as long as it has the full mana essence on it, of course they will grade it and review it with decent price. "
" Heh... but anyway wouldn't it be more good if I absorbed it to increase my mana essence instead of Kirpy? "
* Kirppy? *
" That's right but your priority right now is to make your pet Kirpy stronger first since you need its abilities to use it "
Rev understood it so he took Wrath's advice and nodded, Kirpy was done absorbing the core crystals mana essence. It was cheerful and happy then it went back to Rev's mental space and his emblem faintly disappeared. It was a beginner's fight and he won, thanks to the help of Kirpy's element and attribute. Rev then let out an amuse smile and stood up, heading back at the manor with Wrath.
Rev was already done in his daily hygiene and went back to his bedroom, he was tired, but he was slowly grasping the information that he already wants to know, about mana essence, core crystals the pacts and how he would use the pact's element and attribute easily. Then suddenly he heard three knocks in his door---
" !! "
He was startled then fixed his appearance and opened the door.
" Do you need something... Grandpa? "
" Well... you weren't in your room earlier nor the training ground so I searched around but I didn't find you, so where did you go? "
"...umm, I was... in... yeah!, I was in the library! Haha "
" but you weren't there "
" Ehh... maybe you didn't just see me cause I was at the corner with the piled books "
" Hmm... is that so?... anyway try to rest early, since we will go outside on this manor "
" Eh? outside where? "
" The cave of the grey wolves "
" What!? w--why? "
His grandpa explained to Rev that there were grey wolves roaming around, but not too close in the vicinity of the manor's residence. He ordered some of his troops to take a look far away from the manor, as they investigated and make a watch around, they went back and reported that there were a packs of grey wolves outside in their resident cave. It's as if they were waiting something before going inside in the cave.
The one soldier who observed said that they were just waiting for their leader but as easy as that, his grandpa was not convinced because there might be something more and in addition, some of the soldiers found three dead bodies of grey wolves that mostly roamed around.
As soon as Rev heard the old man's word about the three dead bodies of grey wolf he jolted while showing a poker face.
" Hmm?... what? do you want to say something? "
" Huh?... no, nothing at all "
His grandpa furrowed his brow, confused while looking at Rev. He scratched his head and yawned widely, Rev still didn't look at his grandpa and waited if he would say something but there wasn't, instead he once noted Rev again to sleep early. His grandpa then turned back, walking away while scratching his chest and yawned again.
Rev who was nervous slowly closed the door and tiredly jumped in his bed, letting out a deep sigh.
" I thought I was already exposed there, but now that I think about it why are grey wolves, out in their cave? "
No one listened at Rev's question, slowly closing his eyes and fall asleep, but Wrath heard that which his headless shadow stared silently at the moon, and felt a bad feeling.
