Chapter 7 : Kuro Kiba's Casual Walk Home

Kuro Kiba carried the semi-conscious Max on his right shoulder and the caged Phyonet on his left hand as he ran to Max's house. Kuro Kiba can feel more and more killing being released by Max as time passes.

Max's house was located at the far end of the village, near the tall stone wall separating the village from the lush green forest.

Compared to the other houses in the village, Max's house was isolated from the rest of the village. Max's house was the only one that has a small area of trees surrounding it. Making it appear the forest has grown past the walls of the village.

Soon Max's house was visible to Kuro Kiba. When they were 15 meters away from the house, Max finally lost consciousness. Within seconds Max awoke. Both his eyes were now blood red with black iris.

Max kicked Kuro Kiba and released himself from Kuro Kiba's hold. Before Max fell face front behind Kuro Kiba, he stretched both his hands out. As soon as his hand touched the ground, Max wrapped his right leg around Kuro Kiba's neck. With a simple pull, Max sent Kuro Kiba flying backward.

Even though Kuro Kiba was surprised, he was still an expert fighter. While he was still mid-air, Kuro Kiba conjured a curved wall of ice. Kuro Kiba slid around the wall and landed elegantly on his legs.

Kuro Kiba turned attention towards Max, who was in a state of rage. Max glared at Kuro Kiba with his blood-red eyes. Max was standing on all four, growling at the only person in his sight.

Max had lost all his sense of reasoning. He was being influenced by his rage and lust for blood. Kuro Kiba closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. Even though he was surprised, he knew what was happening to Max. He had seen Max in a similar state a long while ago.

Being reminded of some really unpleasant past, Kuro Kiba felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He opened his eyes and exhaled a cold breath of air. The feeling of powerlessness transformed into a strong sense of resolve.

The temperature slowly dropped, the ground surrounding Kuro Kiba's feet condensed a thin layer of ice. A small figure slowly materialized on his shoulder.

Kuro Kiba's normal uncaring glance was now replaced with a sharp glance that could pierce through Max.

Opposite to Kuro Kiba, Max stood on his all four, madly absorbing the surrounding spirit energy wildly. His body radiated a slight blood-red glow.

Max leaped with his right hand wrapped in spirit energy shaped like a claw, aiming for Kuro Kiba's head. But his efforts are wasted.

Kuro Kiba waved his hand and a spike of ice sprouted from the ground and froze Max completely in his jumping motion, leaving only his head exposed.

Kuro Kiba slowly walked towards the angrily growling Max. Kuro Kiba placed his right palm on Max's forehead, and slowly sent his freezing energy through Max's forehead.

Max's growling slowly died down, his eyes also returned to his original color of white with a black iris. As Kuro Kiba injected more and more energy, Max gradually lost consciousness. Max's mouth formed a small ark as he closed his eyes into a deep slumber.

Kuro Kiba broke all the ice he conjured and lifted Max on his shoulder and picked the cage he dropped, resuming his walk on the path to Max's house as if nothing had happened.

Seven figures appeared around Kuro Kiba, stopping him in his tracks. Five village guards and two elders in charge of the village's safety, Elder Jim and Elder Apace.

Kuro Kiba looked at them without the slightest hint of surprise on his face. He had expected this would happen the moment Max released a large amount of killing intent.

The leader of the guard squad stepped forward with an annoyed look on his face and asked.

"Was there a fight here a moment ago?"

"Yes"

"What happened?"

"It was just a bird"

"A bird? What type of Elemon was it? Why did it attack? Where is it now?"

"I don't know. It flew that way."

Kuro Kiba pointed towards the forest beyond the walls.

Listening to Kuro Kiba's reply, the guards looked infuriated. The squad leader was especially infuriated, he was about to explode from anger.

Who amongst the villagers would dare to disrespect him like Kuro Kiba? He was a protector of the village, an elite even amongst the elite of guards, the villagers would be afraid to walk their heads up in front of him, much less disrespect him.

"Even though you may have some position in the great and mighty city of yours, but this is still the Firefly village and you're still a normal villager here. So it's better if you answer our questions, or..."

"or what? I'm curious as to what you will, no! what you caan, you do to me?"

Kuro Kiba released his freezing energy, the temperature started to gradually fell.

The squad leader was taken aback, he didn't expect his attempt to intimidate Kuro Kiba would cause a massive reaction from Kuro Kiba. Kuro Kiba was well known in the village as The Silent Genius.

When Kuro Kiba still lived in the village, his talent was not the only thing that the whole village recognized, but also his personality.

Kuro Kiba was never the one to brag about his talent, nor was he ever easy to provoke. Even when he was rained with insults, he will never rashly retaliate, but he would only endure.

But today, Kuro Kiba was different. With only a small comment, Kuro Kiba was ready to fight a squad of guards and two elders. Maybe the saying in the village really may be true, life in the city will change people.

But truthfully, if Kuro Kiba was how he was usually, he would have chosen to endure, however Kuro Kiba at this moment was unusually feeling emotional.

Being forcefully reminded of unpleasant events from the past, Kuro Kiba was unwilling to take a loss. Especially to an arrogant teenager who doesn't know the world outside his comfortable little village.

With the mood taking a drastic change, everyone went silent. The squad leader was contemplating his choice of word. As arrogant as he was, he knows well the power wielded by Kuro Kiba was nothing compared to his whole squad combined.

The only ones that may be capable to handle Kuro Kiba were the elders. But at the moment, the elders didn't look like they were willing to have a fight with Kuro Kiba.

This was especially true since Kuro Kiba came to the village representing a city rather than a villager who came to visit his hometown after long. If Kuro Kiba decided to hold a grudge after this situation was resolved, the future of the village may be in jeopardy.

After a couple of seconds more of silence, Elder Jim spoke.

"Sigh. Kuro Kiba, please repress your anger. They're still junior guards. They were just slightly suspicious of you because they didn't know about your father or you... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought that up. Since it looks like nothing dangerous is happening here we'll just take our leave."

Elder Jim who was trying to calm Kuro Kiba's anger had now may have infuriated him further. The topic of Kuro Kiba's birth father is considered taboo to be spoken publically after his rise in fame as a genius.

But what is said cannot be taken aback. So Elder Jim can only eat his loss and only retreat without further worsening the situation.

The five young guards and Elder Jim left. Elder Apace stayed behind. As Elder Apace was about to speak, Kuro Kiba cut him off.

"I would really not like to speak about anything at the moment Elder Apace. Even if it's you. I would appreciate some time for myself to be alone. I will come and find you when I'm ready."

With that, Elder Apace nodded with a slight smile towards Kuro Kiba and disappeared with the wind in silence.

Kuro Kiba was once again left alone in the forest, accompanied by the unconscious Max laying on his shoulders.

Kuro Kiba turned his attention to Max's face and let out a long sigh and continued on his journey.

"Why are you really stubborn like that old man?"
