Mysterious Mana Warrior

While running swiftly towards the village, Asroth covered his face with the hide of a 1st tier Magic Beast to appear more intimidating while emitting a strong Mana.

Asroth planned to disguise himself as a mysterious Mana Warrior passing through Feather Village. He did this to frighten the people so no one would dare rob him, and to sell the Magic Beast bones at a high price.

After a few minutes, Asroth could see the houses in the distance. Moments later, he was walking towards the center of Feather Village where people sold and bought goods.

Asroth was now carrying a large hide of a Magic Beast on his back, the hide of the White Phantom they had killed. Wrapped inside this hide were the bones of two 1st tier Magic Beasts.

"A Mana Force stage Mana Warrior!" stammered a 2nd level Gathering Mana stage Mana Warrior, who noticed Asroth's strong Mana and immediately knew he was at the Mana Force stage. He stared at Asroth in shock.

Asroth just smiled and continued walking. People in front of him quickly moved aside to give him a wide path, afraid of offending a powerful Mana Warrior, as that could mean death.

The villagers began to talk and panic because of the strong Mana Warrior visiting their place. They swallowed hard as they looked at the 1st tier Magic Beast hide that had been made into a large bag.

Asroth stopped in front of the shop that bought and sold Magic Beast bones in Feather Village.

"Good day, esteemed guest. How may I serve you?" politely said the old man tending the shop.

"I want to sell these bones of the 1st tier Magic Beasts that I hunted," Asroth said coldly. He used Mana on his voice to make it sound like that of a middle-aged man.

Asroth immediately lowered what he was holding to show its contents. The old man's eyes almost popped out of their sockets at what he saw: the large spine of a Rock Crocodile, its hide, and the bones and fangs of a White Phantom Magic Beast.

"I'm sorry, esteemed guest... but we cannot afford to pay for all of this," the old man said, trembling. "But I will try to contact the chief of our village because he will surely buy it and can afford to pay!" he added.

Asroth just nodded at him.

In the large house at the center of the village:

"Chief Osro! Chief Osro!" a servant shouted loudly as he entered.

"What is it?" Chief Osro responded coldly while drinking his coffee. He couldn't understand why his servant was panicking.

"Chief, there is a 2nd Level Mana Force here in the village, and he wants to sell the bones of the 1st Tier Magic Beasts he hunted!" the servant exclaimed.

Chief Osro immediately stood up upon hearing this and stopped drinking his coffee.

"Let's go see him."
