Chapter 437 - Reactions
Remembering the past, Ava couldn't help but stare at Theo with a smile on her face.
Her wish had been fulfilled as she managed to eat together with Theo and helped him. She also had grown stronger as well.
When Theo chose to recover his Magic Power for the rest of the night, she kept paying attention to their surroundings even though she had scared away all the monsters nearby.
Little did she know, that roar also caused another disturbance in both Eion Plain and Wolf City.
Inside the biggest building in the middle of Wolf City stood tall a giant wolf with his two feet.
The wolf was carrying a huge sword made of silver-colored metal. The sword was ten feet long and three feet wide, yet this sword looked small compared to the wolf. The wolf reached as high as fifteen feet with a muscular humanoid body like that of a werewolf.
Without even anyone coming into his tent, the wolf had already heard the commotion outside. That was why he stabbed the sword to the ground and walked outside the building, finding many wolves waiting for him.
Some stood on two feet, some stood on four feet, and some were sitting. They all looked at the giant wolf that came out of the building.
As he already knew about the situation, the wolf spread its legs and clutched his hands. He then howled to the sky with a voice high enough for the entire city to hear it.
"Aoooo!"
Hearing his howl, the other wolves also began to do the same, increasing the volume and making the ground tremble.
The wolves outside the city also howled as soon as they heard them.
It continued spreading all over Sinx Forest as those who received that howl started doing the same, making Sinx Forest busy during the night.
Meanwhile, inside the Coal Dome sat down a mummy. The mummy had red skin and was bandaged by black-colored cloth. It covered every part of his body except his hands, feet, and head.
His eyes were plain white and his face didn't rot like the other mummies.
He was sitting on a golden throne surrounded by riches. There were golds, coins, jewelry, weapons, and so on.
The mummy kept staring at a coffin plated with gold, resting on top of a red carpet.
The lid was slightly open, revealing a purple cushion inside.
Suddenly, another mummy came into the room. The mummy had blue-colored clothes wrapping his body. The tip of the clothes was fluttering around on his back, forming some sort of robe.
The mummy kneeled on one knee behind the coffin and let out a noise. "Goagoa."
The mummy sitting on the throne frowned and asked, "You have sensed another presence at the same level as mine?"
The mummy nodded. "Goagoa (The presence was detected inside the Sinx Forest. However, it seemed to be scaring the wolves away, so we can safely assume it was a neutral party)."
"…" The mummy furrowed his eyebrows and stood up, walking to the coffin. He opened the lid bigger and found a golden crown.
He put on the crown as his body started emanating a reddish aura. The aura was so intense that the other mummy could only lower his head. "It's time we stop playing on the defensive. Kill all the humans and wolves in the vicinity and leave no one alive.
"There won't be anyone who will stop me from conquering this area and rebuild my paradise." The mummy king raised his hand. "Locate the one that trespasses my territory."
"Goagoa (That may be a problem)." The mummy's body was shaken as he explained the situation. "Goagoa (After a moment, the presence has disappeared)."
"Leaving this place?" The mummy king frowned and waved his hand. "I don't care. Search everything in the vicinity! I, Eith, the successor of the great Osiris, shall obtain everything I want."
…
The next day.
Theo finally finished recovering all of his energy and let out a sigh.
Ava noticed his movement and looked up. "Kyu!"
"Thank you, Ava." Theo smiled and nodded his head. After a long night, he knew that without Ava, he would have been in a perilous situation.
It was already nearly impossible to escape from that group, let alone survive the night without Magic Power.
If not because Ava killed them and guarded him for the night, he might already die.
He had gotten the fact straight and knew he shouldn't put the blame on Ava because she had saved his life. All he needed to know was that Ava meant no harm.
Unfortunately, Theo didn't realize that he had met Ava in the past. He was alone and had the worst life at that time.
That was why helping Ava was just something that might always be hidden in his memory.
Feeling refreshed, Theo opened his status while muttering, "I really do need to pay close attention to my Magic Power right now. It's good to have strong B Rank skills, but I still need to increase my own Magic Power reserve to avoid letting this incident happen again.
"Also, it seems I shouldn't rely on my reputation because it may put me in danger again. In that case, I will use my Metamorphosis and Joker Identity to confuse my enemy." Theo nodded and looked at the status.

"Yep, I need to increase my Magic Power a little bit more since I can use my Control and the others to increase my overall brute force." Theo nodded. "Still, to think I managed to level up so many times in a single day… I guess this kind of war is benefitting me.
"With this kind of speed, I have the confidence to reach my target one or two weeks faster than my prediction. Also, there's no point in investigating the assassinated woman and the other two only know the red-haired version and they most likely have gone back by now." Theo smirked and rose from the ground. He changed to new clothes while saying, "Ava, this will be another great day. Let's hunt more monsters."
"Kyu!"
