The awakened of the the both order and Holy santuary Dispersed in different directions some to collect wood and other to find any source of water and the rest of them waited for them after some time tge awakened return and one of them said "There is a river nearby and there is quiet a large open space near it we can make our camp there and there is also a house nearby that place" when he said that all of them were shocked both princess , Prince Brad even "Dante,Veronica,Graham and Aira" .
The Holy sanctuary and The order both their leaders who were in charge of the expedition found it quite odd for someone to be living at the entrance of the forest , they found it suspicious so they asked the person who deliver the news to take them at that place after walking for wa while tgen there they saw it a small house was present and they tried to sense signs of life with their power but there wasn't any so they told everyone that there was no one in the vicinity and told them to keep their guard up .
After a while they surrounded the house from all sides and "Graham who belonged to the Holy sanctuary " stepped forward and enter the house with his sword held in his hands to attack if someone attacked him but there was no one , the house was empty after wa while "Aira,Veronica and Dante also entered to inspect but there was nothing except for a map that leads to the nearset town "Oakhaven".
They found no signs of life and they came out of the house and tell the children of the king to rest assured and told the soldiers to set camp for the night here after that all of them were busy doing their work ,but at that time Princess Flora asked" who do you think would have been living here of all places" this question caught the attention of everyone sitting across the campfire"Brad,Elenor,Aira,Dante,Graham and Veronica" all of them were thinking the same thing and then Dante said"Maybe a lunatic who got fed up of his life and came here to stay for his last days" at his response"Brad and Elenor chuckled." and then dropped the topic , at that time one awakened came to them and showed them a body of a bird who was 5 meter's and after closely examining it they were shocked to discover the body of the bird belong to tge legendary moster "Phoenix" and it was found near the house.
They all were deeply disturbed by this sudden fact that the monster tgey came to hunt was already dead and it's body contained nothing no 'soul core' it was gone ,it was now clear that someone has killed this monster after that they all were assigned different duties some of the awakened will sleep and others will guard the area, but inside the head of Princess Flora 'she was really mad because the monster she came to hunt has already been slain by someone else and what angers her the most was that the prize that she would get after showing the body of Phoenix to his father was gone ,she acted all high and mighty in front of every sibling and now she had become a laughing stock she couldn't endure this humility, but she didn't let it show on the outside to maintain her image.
Inside the forest Levin was still unconscious because fighting with the venom had taken a toll on his body and mind and he was utterly exhausted , the battle ended before the sun sets and it was almost midnight Levin was unconcious, but at that moment his finger twitched , he slowly opened his eyes and sat down he was still processing what happened,Levin knew his body was melting down because of the venom so he used hi shadow affinity on his eyes ,when he did that the view became clear he could see and then he examined his body and saw there wasn't even a single injury like he never fought a battle .
Levin still didn't know what was going on so he recalled his last moments before he fell unconscious and then he remembered the strange stone he got from the body of that monster bird and remember that he crush that stone before felling unconcious ,still he couldn't understand what happened thinking that when he crushed the stone he somehow got healed , it wasn't making sense for him that he somehow got healed by crushing a stone which he got from the head of the bird or he got some kind of skill that heals him,so to clear his doubts he manifested a dagger from shadows and cut his arm and in the next memont it began to heal itself Levin was so shocked,and happy to see this that he couldn't explain it was a huge news for him ,having a healing ability in his arsenal shorten his burdens because he was thinking of buying healing potions or elixirs but now he won't have to trouble himself with that anymore.
Levin finally went towards the body of the hydra he had killed the body looks the same even though he used strong Fire spells it didn't damage his body from the outside but inside was another story , after killing it Levin could feel it he had become several time stronger and now time for the main dish he slit open the part of body where soul cores should be and yes there they were but there were a total of '3 soul cores' so levin took tem out and crushed them one after another and after that he could feel the power being absorbed in his body and he could tell from one core he experienced the increase of '5 fold and he absorbed 3 and the same goes for killing to which means he got a boost of over 30 folds in his power".
After that Levin checked the head of hydra there were 8 heads so he was hoping to find the same magic stone from his head which he found from the birds head ,when he opened the first head he found it in the first try there was stone but it's colour was 'Green' the one he got from that bird was 'Red' so he thought it may differ from monster to monster and then Levin crushed the stone in his hands when he did that he felt a sudden change in his body but he couldn't quite put a finger on it what happened so he thought maybe he will know with time with that he picked the body of hydra and made his way back towards his house.
Back at the camp outside the forest around the campfire the familiar figures were sitting talking with eachother about different things ,it was at this moment one awakened said "Someone is approaching from the forest" when he said that all the soldiers even who were sleeping soundly woke up and were ready for battle ,"Brad,Elenor,Flora,Dante,Graham,Veronica" they also were ready to fight but at that moment Levin came in view and came to an abrupt stop before he could speak Graham asked"Who are you and what are you doing here" at which Levin said" I should be the one asking you all that who are you and what are you doing here" listening to Levin Graham was getting tensed and said " You should just answer us while we are asking nicely , what are you doing here and who are you" after hearing him say the same thing Levin was getting annoyed and said "I'm asking the same thing and it would be best of you to tell who are you and what do you want" At whick Dante who was getting angry said "Kid this is the last chance tell us about yourself or we will kill you" He said this while emitting a powerful pressure thinking that he might scare me at which I knew this conversation isn't going well and i should just do what i came to do ,go and rest i don't have any spare energy left to argue.
While thinking that Levin finally moved and start walking at which the nearby awakend soldier told him to stop but he ignored them and kept walking but when Dante launched a fire spell toward him that went past him at which he looked straight at Dante and releasing his bloodlust said " I'm warning you for the last time if you mess with me or try to annoy me I will kill every single one of you,do you understand" , Dante feeling his immense pressure and bloodlust took a few steps back not him but also the others who were quietly watching their confrontation got scared too some of the awakened fell unconcious even "Graham,Aira and Veronica " got tensed up from what the child in front of them did , The children of King were panting heavily.
After a quiet moment of silence levin said "You're staying outside of my house so shouldn't you introduce yourself" at first they were quiet shocked to learn that this boy live alone over here and then quickly regain their composure and the one to speak was Saintess Aira " we are from Eldoria kingdom and we are here to hunt a specific monster for this young girl at which she pointed as Princess Flora " at which Levin said" you can do whatever you want but make sure not to disturb me and don't come near my house " after saying that Levin turned and went straight towards his house and it was at this moment that" Graham and the others focused on what he was dragging ,it was 30 meters long monsters with 8 heads when they saw that they almost lost their balance because the boy in front of them was dragging "orichi" like it was nothing .
"Orichi"is the name of the monster Levin calls Hydra with 8 heads.
"Orichi " is also considered as one of the most lethal and dangerous monster the world have seen and it took a fair amount of resources and time to bring it down by over 100 top awakends work together, but Levin was not fazed by it .
Levin entered the house quietly, placed tge body of 'orichi' besides him and laiid down on the bed he bought from the village because he was exhausted mentally so he needed rest, outside the house all of the people expression's were that of shocked the rest of the awakened soldier's who were sleeping went back to sleep and those who were guarding went back to their assigned place and were standing guard as for the 'Royalty children and the people of order and Holy sanctuary were sitting together deep in thought , all thinking the same thing 'Who was that man they couldn't see his face clearly because of night " and were thinking of what to do now.
