51 A bad day

Everyone was dumbfounded, the seemingly harmless kid in front of them was actually a dangerous beast

The leader clenched his teeth , seemingly not knowing what to do

Alter nodded his head in satisfaction, he could tell that right now, everyone had a blood ruby parasite on them, after enough time passes, they will be able to 'bloom'

"So? Aren't you going to say something?" Alter said in a arrogant manner, he stopped a moment before continuing

"My time is limited you know?"

"Attack!" The leader shouted, surprising, he didn't expect them to attack, he already displayed the fact that he can annihilate them

But what Alter didn't know is that the leader thoughts aren't the same as Alter, if the whatever pebble man in front of them had the ability to annihilate them, he would have already done so, rather than spouting nonsense, thus, he guessed that what he just used is some sort of special attack and can't be repeated

Alter instantly used the dark starlight and vanished, leaving behind a dumbfounded crowd

"C-captain! What should we do!" one of the survivors asked

"Don't lower your guard! he's probably lurking around, waiting us to show a opening to exploit it!"

Meanwhile, Alter simply walked away, observing them

After 30 minutes

Alter frowned , a long time already passed, but the parasite effect didn't complete, he guessed that something have gone wrong

Alter originally planned to 'bloom' them , thus, making him exert close to no effort

but now...

Alter sighed, he went to the village and tried to feel the source of resonance, it was from the swords that this mini army wields, he stored few of them in his inventory

Suddenly , a horse galloping could be heard from faraway, Alter quickly reacted and searched it source, it was a army consisting of over a thousand man mounting over some sort of red horses and the direction that they're headed too isn't the village, but the remaining mini army

Panic was all over the mini army members, they all tried to run away

One minute later

Alter didn't understand what just happened, the army simply dashed towards them, and they started falling, one by one, there was no clash or a confrontation

The events of today where simply too much for Alter to handle, when he woke up, there were a gang of weaklings attacking some sort stupid girl who can't even differentiate between a human and a golem, after that, he stumbled across this mini army, and for some reason , Alter felt that he have to kill them, and right when he was about to give up, another army appeared and somehow annihilated them

Not wanting to linger anymore, Alter silently departed

...

Sometime later, in the village chief house

Although it's the village chief house, it interior was simply decorated, animal fur, wooden items, etc, except the fact that the house got two floors, it isn't different from the others

Right now, the village chief was sitting on a wooden chair, in front of him, there was a man who's also sitting, the man was wearing a new leather armour, he had black hair, pale face, and his eyes are red, he appeared to be in his early thirties

"So you're saying that someone proclaiming that he's a crimson pebble man killed part of my brother scouting forces with one glance?"The black haired man asked

"Yes..."

Hearing this, the man couldn't help but furrow his brows, a appearance of a mysterious person who's side is unknown is a troublesome thing, after all, he may accidentally ruin his plans

'Well, for now, we'll consider him a ally" The man mumbled

...

In the forest, Alter mouth was twitching uncontrollably

In front of Alter, there's a white lizard, a fat white lizard, if it was a regular lizard Alter wouldn't have spared it a additional glance, but said lizard was Thingo

"This...What happened?...I just left him for a short period of time and this happens"

[Ding...Analyzing....User contracted pet, servant, ally,family, or whatever it's supposed to be, is undergoing a mutation]

Alter ignored the first half and focused in the later,

'How does a mutation makez one wings disappear?'

[Ding.... A mutation isn't always a good thing]

'So? It's possible to cancel it?'

[Ding....According to user databases, user current capabilities doesn't allow him to do so, also, system recommends user to let the mutation finishes, after all, according to the forbidden library, mutation usually means an act of regression to the origin or the creation of a new magical species, which is a helpful thing]

The forbidden library refers to the books that Alter memorized in the academy library book reward, from constant browsing through them, he found out that the books he memorized are all high quality , that's probably why their number doesn't surpass a thousand

'alright' Seeing that he can't do a thing about it, Alter simply accepted it, then he summoned the sword he stored and focused it

Instantly, everything around Alter disappeared, and was replaced by a red space

Crimson crystal humanoid figures floated all around , inside them, Alter could barely see a human

Every human was different from each other there were children, men, and, women with each wearing an expression of extreme pain. This made Alter extremely uncomfortable.

An unknown feeling started to arise inside Alter. Noticing this he quickly suppressed it

"Intruder ...die" A crimson crystal figure looked at Alter and said, unlike the other ones, there was no human inside it, Alter could feel immense pressure from it

'such a bad day' Alter muttered
