88. Wise King A Taking Mouse

Enri was surprised to hear this.

"Are 3rd tier mages that powerful?" Enri asked.

"Yes, they are, and I am just a 2nd tier mage, so you should understand."

"We should go now. Because of you, we managed to win against the beast tide. But if we want to stop this once and for all, then we need to find their leader, who is known as the Wise king," Enri said as she started walking forward. She didn't know why, but after seeing Neo, her fear has gone somehow.

Nfirea nodded and asked everyone to continue their journey.

Back to Neo,

As Neo was walking in the forest silently, Aura, who remained silent all this while, suddenly spoke.

"Neo-sama, you looked quite different today."

Neo, who was walking ahead, suddenly halted and looked at Aura.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, you looked kind, but I liked it."

Seeing this, it was nothing else. Neo continued on his way and said,

"Remember, cruelty will not lead you very far. There will be someone who will come to claim your life because of this. And too much kindness is also dangerous; it will make you die a painful death. So if you want to reach the top, then follow both of them. Be cruel to those who deserve your cruelty and kind to those who showed you kindness. Do you understand?"

"A little," Neo just smiled while walking.

"Don't worry, you are still young; you will understand eventually."

As they kept walking for an hour or so, not a single sign of the Wise King could be seen. Just as Neo was about to declare this search a failure,

They suddenly heard a sound of someone fighting from another direction.

Neo and Aura looked at each other and sprang forward in that direction.

When they reached the place where the fighting was taking place, they once again were surprised to find these people from earlier again.

'Seriously, is fate playing with us?' Neo thought.

As they watched, these people were fighting quite a hard fight. Because of the high speed of the monster, they didn't get the chance to strike him clearly.

Seeing this, Neo suddenly chanted a spell and shot a lightning spell towards the running monster.

Suddenly, a shriek sounded from the monster, and everyone was surprised by this sudden lightning strike.

Looking at the smoking monster, it looked like a mouse, but a little bigger.

"Isn't this the Wise King," Neo thought.

Seeing Neo again, they were surprised but still felt grateful for his help.

Enri stepped forward and thanked him once again.

"Don't worry, we were in the vicinity, so hearing your battle, we came to have a look. And now that the monster has been subdued, we can go now."

As they were talking, Aura went to the Wise King and asked,

"Listen, you are about to die. But if you will follow my Neo-sama from now on, then I can save you."

The Wise King didn't even hesitate and started nodding his head. Seeing this, Aura became happy.

Suddenly, from his hand, a white mist came out and went inside the Wise King, which resulted in him getting better by the second.

When he stood up again, he looked as new as before.

Enri and the others were surprised by this scene, and she asked,

"Sir, this monster has terrorized our villages for quite a while. You can't let him go."

"Don't worry, he is now under my control and wouldn't harm the village again. So be at ease," Neo said.

Nfirea once again thanked him and introduced him to the others. Even though they were a little on a tender hook, they still thanked him politely.

Neo waved his hand and was about to leave when suddenly he remembered the mad girl and how she tortured them to death.

Watching this scene in the anime, he felt quite sad for a while, and now that he is here, he should be able to help them. Right.

"One more thing, I can see black clouds over your heads. That means your life is in danger. So be careful."

The adventure team was shocked by what Neo said. Even though they didn't believe him, out of curiosity, they asked,

"Why do you say that, sir?"

But Neo didn't explain any further and tossed a white crystal in front of them.

"If someday you feel despair and are about to die, just crush this crystal. If you trust me, that is."

Finished speaking, Neo left with Aura and the Wise King, by climbing onto him.

Others just stood there, not knowing what to do.

"What do you think? Is he telling the truth?" One of the adventure team members asked.

Enri was the one who answered first. "I believe him, and if he wanted to kill you people, you would be dead by now. So I think you should take his warning seriously."

The team members looked at each other and nodded and kept the crystal in their bag.

After Neo came back to Nazarick, he heard something that he couldn't believe from Alfa.

According to her MSG,

"Multiple spaceships have been seen coming and going on this planet. Be careful."

Now Neo was really confused, "What's going on?"

Until now, everything is going according to the original story. But now, this variable came into the picture.

There is definitely something wrong here.

Suddenly, Neo brought out multiple papers filled with runes.

And said something while throwing them into the air. These small papers became a light and flew away with a fast speed.

Neo then sat down on the throne and started thinking about what to do next.

Neo didn't know, but his old enemy has appeared on this planet. And what will Neo do about this? You can only find out later.

But one thing is clear: something big is about to happen.
