Chapter 2

Apart from that incident with the Tribunals, it is quite rare to find Adventurers this deep into the forest. After travelling a certain distance away and looking back to the place where I fought those people, I was quite shocked to see that the forest had already started growing back and then I recalled that one of the abilities of the Carvarian forest was that it was able to grow back fast, and I mean really really fast. So as I was wondering that it was very rare to find people in this part of the forest, I wasn't wrong. This deep part of the forest is only open to and known to only a few of the higher-ups in the guilds and well bandits and people who come over here this side occasionally but that is due to particular situations and sometimes just plain bad luck. I pity them the most.

"There is nothing here that needs looking to Regallan, so don't be on the edge." Regallan was already quite familiar with my expression and could easily tell that what I just said was not completely true. "Judging by the manner and the pace and intensity of your walking and footsteps, I'm pretty sure that there is something that's bothering you, master. And the cherry on the top is that you are worried, a person of your calibre being worried is no joking matter at all." "You see right through me don't you Regallan. That aside, it is something that is bothering and what's even more disturbing is that I can't get a proper lock on the source of this worrying." "This could only mean two things given your levels of concern, the first one that there being a COSMIC level catastrophe and the second one being concern about a person, someone being very close to you or someone that means something to you." "As always you are right Regallan, sometimes I just want to melt you to make small daggers to make my movement even faster." "BLAM" I got hit in the head with the hilt of Regallan. "You cheater, at least attack me when I can see it coming." "Well then there wouldn't be any point in attacking you then wouldn't it?"

"On to more pressing issues, I think the source of your problems master seems to be the latter reason of the two that I mentioned or is it something else?" "We'll find it out." So as we further ventured forward into the jungle to locate the source of my master's worrying, we came across some a monster. But he wasn't just some monster, he was an Ancient Beast that would take almost a party of ten defeat. but his opponents were me and master, so it was quite the easy task for me and master. "I'm sitting this one out master, you can take him on by yourself." "You're joking right Regallan, I know you want me to not completely rely on you and develop myself but this is a challenge for me too." "Well then, good luck to you master..." Regallan went silent after that and "Swoosh", a tree flew right by me. "That was too close. You just wait for it Regallan, I'll show you." As I was dealing with this beast, debris was flying everywhere. "Thump" a big boulder flew straight towards Regallan and hit his sheath in which he rested. It was sort of funny, not sort of, it was absolutely hilarious. He was starting to regain his senses or whatever he has but by that time I couldn't stop myself and I started laughing. "That does it, here I was thinking about helping you develop yourself but no, you won't do that won't you??", Regallan exclaimed. As soon as he completed that sentence, the Earth started to shake around in a small area. "Oi Oi Oi, control yourself. Have you gone crazy? That sheath is one of the only two things... " rocks started crumbling beside me and tree leaves being split apart as Regallan flew at me with quite the tremendous amount of power as I caught him right in between my palms. "Besides me", I said in quite the hurried tone. "Have you calmed down?", I asked him. "Hmph, maybe", he replied.

"That was a close call Regallan, what were you thinking?? Even that beast ran off as soon as you started letting out that much power", I sighed in relief and put him back in the sheath. Well anyways, onwards with our journey. Our path took us through some of the most beautiful sceneries in the entire country. Meadows, long Flower fields, trees bearing gigantic fruits and many other such scenic beauties. Treacherous Valleys, sudden cliffs out of nowhere you name it, it was present. At one such cliff end, I came to halt. Regallan was wondering and muttered something before I shushed him and told him to stay silent. I pointed at the bottom of the cliff where we saw a woman and a child being surrounded by three huge men who belonged to one of the dark guilds. As soon as I saw that woman, I jumped off the cliff while Regallan was screaming "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!!!" As soon as I landed, those three men turned towards me. One of them was a Fallen, I could tell by the tattoo around his forearm. At that very instance, two of them were sent flying while the Fallen was lying on the ground. "You are late, but then again you were never really on time were you", the woman said while smiling. "Its Great to see you again master", I replied with a huge smile on my face.
