White Phantom

"Are you joining the tournament next month?" Asrah suddenly asked.

They were currently walking into the forest. Asroth was also looking around, hoping to discover something.

"Of course, I want to get the Magic Skill and gold coin to help with our Mana absorption," Asroth replied.

"I'm planning to join too."

Asroth raised an eyebrow and looked at Asrah. But after thinking for a moment, he returned his gaze to their surroundings.

'This is not Earth,' Asroth reminded himself quietly.

Asrah also needs to learn how to fight. I can't treat her like a child. Like a child that someone on earth.

If I want to protect her, I need to help her grow stronger because sometimes I won't be there for her.

"Alright, but I'll teach you Mortal Martial Arts first." Asroth intended to teach the martial arts he had learned on Earth.

"Mortal Martial Arts?"

"I found it in an old box hidden at home. It's probably a technique passed down from 'our' grandfather," Asroth said, making up a story to avoid Asrah questioning how he knew such things.

Asroth also discovered that the martial arts he knew became ten times more effective when using Mana.

"Thanks--" Before Asrah could finish her thanks, Asroth pulled her close to a large tree to hide.

"Asrah, conceal your Mana quickly!" Asroth whispered in her ear.

A few meters away, Asroth peeked at what he had seen.

Despite the tall grass, Asroth could still see a Magic Beast!

It was a Magic Beast they called a White Phantom.

Its form was similar to a werewolf but ten times larger.

The White Phantom Asroth was looking at stood around 10 feet tall!

Its white fur was covered with huge wounds drenched in blood. In its fangs, a large Rock Crocodile was impaled.

Asroth took a deep breath and held Asrah's hand tightly.

A White Phantom and a Rock Crocodile.

These are Tier 1 Magic Beasts.

Asroth couldn't understand how these monsters ended up near the village.

He knew they could only be found in the depths of the forest, hundreds of kilometers away from here.

As he watched, Asroth noticed that the White Phantom was in its weakest state.

But even so, it was still exuding an immense amount of Mana. Even ten Asroths wouldn't be able to kill it.

This is how strong and terrifying a Tier 1 Magic Beast is!

The White Phantom was carrying the Rock Crocodile Magic Beast it had killed, which was also a Tier 1.

Wait a minute...

Asroth suddenly remembered something from the former Asroth's memories and the books he had read.

There was only one possible reason it hadn't eaten the Magic Beast it had killed and brought it here from the depths of the forest.

The White Phantom Magic Beast was caring for a baby near the village!

'What should I do?'

Asroth calmed his mind and thought about the different scenarios that could happen.

'Should I tell the village?'

'No!'

Human greed knows no bounds, and in the world of Hestia, only the strong survive.

He needed to become stronger and do whatever it took to gain strength. Because only when you are strong can you attain peace and do what you want.

And now, an extraordinary treasure was right in front of him.
