So I was trying to find that son of b*tch without any clue so far, until what Isac said. I turned my eyes and started to move towards that hill at once.
And before my chariot would move, my threads moved first.
The first spot I aimed at wasn’t the monsters around, but the central point of that hill. Just seeing it from high above gave me the impression that this hill was getting dyed with my black blue threads.
And then a fierce roar erupted.
“Oh! It got something up its sleeve then… Interesting!” Just as my threads came near a spot, a mighty roar occurred before the hill started to fall.
Heavy rocks fell over the ground, killing and wounding other monsters. Yet this helped in letting that son of b*tch slipped away from my threads as they got at the falling rocks and missed it.
“Don’t try to run, you can’t do it!” and just as a flash passed from the centre of that crumbling hill, I snorted.
It was that beast, the one leading all others here.
As it got to fly this fast, I also followed with my threads and chariot.
It managed to cross a distance of a mile in a flash, to be faced with my chariot and threads. I blocked any path for it to retreat. The sky was blocked with my chariot, and my threads surrounded it from all angles.
“This… Is this a Qilin?!!” Just as I stood in puzzlement in front of this beast, unable to identify it, Isac from my side exclaimed in shock.
“Do you recognise it?” I pointed towards this beast. To say I placed it in my eye as a foe was a mere joke!
I never considered it a threat, only an opportunity.
“Of course! Damn! Damn! This… How did you get your hands over one?!!”
And just like a kid happy for a coming up festival, she kept jumping and holding my arm in such a weird way.
“Easy there, just explain what’s special about this beast.”
“This… It’s considered one of the monster kings in our universe! A Qilin! Damn! That’s not something one can find even on luck alone! How the hell did you get it?”
“I just bought monster dens,” I said the truth, yet she gave me such a look as if I was lying and covering up on the source I got it from.
“I see… So you don’t trust me? I have to admit, I’m hurt!”
“No, I’m not joking! This is the truth, I swear!”
She gave me a look of puzzlement and doubt, and I started to explain how I purchased monster dens and let Lily release them all over the place.
“This… It doesn’t make any sense,” she was lost in thoughts, as if this didn’t match what she knew about this monster.
“Why?”
“This monster… It only comes out from a single egg,” she raised her head and watched that fierce monster down below. “An egg that’s formed without any rule and logic in the heart of a world.”
“This…”
“And that world has to be destroyed for the egg to get out,” she kept saying, “the birth of any Qilin meant its world got destroyed already. It can’t be born out of the egg without consuming the energy of its world. And so it always hated dealing with any other living being, monsters or races alike.”
“…”
I was totally shocked by what she said. How could this even be possible?
A monster that was born out of an egg coming out from the heart of a world? And that world had to get destroyed for it to get born?
This… This wasn’t anything like the situation we had here!
I looked around, to make sure I wasn’t dreaming and my precious second world was alive and intact, in one piece.
“Sigh! Why is it always like this around you? All logic, all knowledge, anything anyone would know before would get smashed to pieces when he deals with you, tsk! What a regret you aren’t part of my race, tsk!”
She kept speaking with herself like crazy, and I ignored whatever she said.
I focused my eyes over this quite vigilant monster and started to closely examine it.
My first impression about it was that it was somehow related to dragons. It had scales, a couple of long moustaches aside from its bugling and long mouth.
It got such fierce looking two rows of teeth, and eyebrows that kept lashing upwards and were made of some sort of orange energy or fire.
It got a long beard, one that was formed out of the same orange energy or fire, dancing in the wind.
Having a beard? For such a newly born monster? That was… Quite weird! Shouldn’t beards belong only to old folks or what?
Its body was like a giant ox, covered with deeply red scales. It got strong hooves, ending up from four thick and strong looking legs to sustain all this heavy weight it got.
It spanned for over thirty metres in length, seven or close to ten in height, and five in width. It was a true behemoth, considering that it just got born.
Aside from all this, its eyes were unique! They got layers of iris, with one circle enveloping one longitudinal iri. It was weird, like its eyes were formed of many and not just one eye.
And from them, I saw red, blue, green, purple, and orange colours. It had such unique eyes, and looking at them made me feel I was looking at a sane and old wise man.
This monster… It wasn’t a normal one, no way it was! Just looking at its eyes while it kept glaring at me in such a fierce and vigilant way, made me sure it was even far more intelligent than normal races.
“Can you understand my tongue?” and as I decided its importance, I decided to give it a try and reason with it.
“Don’t!” Yet when I tried to speak with it, Isac hurriedly shouted, “Qilins are known to be extremely arrogant!”
“And?”
