With everything prepared they are ready to go, and then they set off immediately.
They were traveling with a guide this time so they didn't meet many monsters in the desert.
When they arrived at the forest outskirts, they were met by a huge tree.
The forest was huge, and the logs were abundant, many tall trees and many wildlife, fruits, and many more, this was just like a safe haven.
'Should we just make a kingdom here?' He was swayed by the thought the place was so abundant, maybe he can put his kingdom here!
It was a very good place to stay.
In the first place, he chose the desert because he couldn't make the kingdom at those places with abundant wood and other resources, Because they were afraid the kingdom that is trying to find all the Akath would just destroy them in a matter of times, but the desert is safe, and now that he found this, he was tempted to make the kingdom here.
But then Shak warned, "I know what you were thinking but the forest is truly dangerous, it's not your normal forest, even though it's abundant no clan dared to put their village inside, the outskirts are fine and all, but when you get inside you will know, how scary this forest is."
they got deeper and deeper the deeper they are the more scared they are.
They're just too many beasts inside the forest!
They were constantly fending off the beast, and Shak said that this was the safest route he has!
'What if we just blindly go in then?' Dave shivered, they might be overrun by beast before that.
Dave asked why there are so many beasts inside the forest, and then Shak explained to him.
It was originally a kingdom of half-beast they were very powerful, even the world was scared by them, its name was the Kingdom Of Ybelal. They were once the ruler of this continent, but because of an unknown plague, they all turned from half-beast into a true beast, it's already 100 years but the place was still dangerous.
None knew who did it, but all half-beast believe that it's from one of the human kingdoms, that's why all half-beast hates humans, and of course, because of human torture it is logical to say that.
they were progressing fast but suddenly the forest got quiet.
It was weird since there are many beasts inside the forest.
"Careful there must be something wrong." Shak cautioned.
he could feel something is wrong with the atmosphere, Dave looked around to see anything wrong, then he saw something in the distance, It was a gigantic bull, the bull was charging at high speed towards the civilians, with no time to warn them, he ran at his full speed, appearing behind the civilians.
He used everything he got and then the bull smashed right to him.
When people heard the collision the sound was deafening, everyone looked behind them and saw Dave was defending them, they all then helped Dave with healing and the warrior hurried over to help him.
The bull was stopped but it stomped the ground making the ground shake, Dave jumped and stabbed rapidly to its eyes, The bull was enraged, but the bull can't find Dave since the bull eyes were stabbed.
"DIE!" Dave roared.
He was about to stab the bull rapidly till it died.
But then he remembered something, if he killed this bull would the monster swarm here?
'Not good, I must kill him alone...
"GO FIRST!, I WILL KILL THIS BEAST!" Dave commanded them.
They didn't doubt Dave anymore, so they willingly ran from the battle.
After all, they were dead weight against this kind of opponent.
"Now it's just you and me big guy!" Dave grinned
He pulled the horns of the bull, and then the horn was detached from the bull.
'Wait this is not a real horn?' He was surprised when the horn was detached from the bull it was shrinking into a small horn.
Suddenly something occurred to the bull, lightning struck the bull rapidly.
When it's finally over, Dave was fried because of the lightning.
And then he blacked out.
****
When he was awake he was in a wooden house, he could smell good food was being made.
He then jolted up and took his spear.
But then he realizes that his wound was bandaged.
wait I was in the middle of killing that bull did he get saved by someone?
a middle-aged man entered the house, the middle-aged man was surprised when he looked at Dave.
The middle-aged man has orange hair with jet black eyes and dark chocolate skin.
"Thank you for saving me." Dave bowed, it's probably him the one who saved him.
The middle-aged man chuckled " No thank you for removing my curse." he then smiled.
"What do you mean by a curse?"
"The horn on your hands is cursed, now that you pulled it my power was returned and I thank you for that."
Wait, so he was the bull he was fighting earlier?!
"Sorry that I stabbed your eyes…
" Aaah, don't mind me I'm fine without my eyes."
'Yeah right... you are looking into the wall right now.' Dave was speechless.
"Anyways nice to meet you I'm James Stanley, The prince of Ybelal Kingdom." He smiled at the wall.
Dave was awkward, he wanted to say that he was talking to the wall but, he missed the timing for it... It would be embarrassing if he tells him now.
'Wait... Ybelal? Are you f*cking kidding me?' He was truly shocked, Ybelal was already destroyed!
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, why?" James was confused.
"It's already 100 years... since the kingdom was destroyed..." Dave told the truth to him.
"Wait... Destroyed?! Stop lying, human! I didn't do anything to you because you're my savior, but if you keep talking nonsense I will kill you right here!"
James grabbed his neck, he was devastated.
"Don't you already see them?! That pot your cooking is your own people!"
James was shocked, and then he fell to his knees.
The kingdom he knew was already destroyed, he can't meet his loved ones and any other kin.
And now that Dave revealed that it was his people that he was cooking, he was truly shocked.
James didn't need to verify it, because he connected the dot quickly from his observation and realized Dave was telling the truth.
While James was down Dave explained why they turned into a beast.
"Right... Guess i'll just kill myself, the ones I know are already dead." James said as he got up, he then looked out the window.
The kingdom he once knew was once here. And now it's gone.
"It would be a waste if you die here." Dave told him.
"Why?"
"What about your bloodline? Are you just going to end it?"
James was shocked, That's right he can't let his bloodline die!
"Thanks, now I know my next goal, I bid you farewell." James was just about to go but then Dave stopped him.
"Wait, why don't you just go to my kingdom? you can stay there and find some candidates..." Dave persuaded.
He can't just let go of this powerful ally! He needs to use everything he got!
"And why should I?"James looked at him.
"I can help you find someone, how about it? it's not easy to get women these days even with your looks and power, that's why I can help you find the correct one!" Dave persuaded him again.
James was thinking, and then he replied "Fine, I will play with you if you can't find them. I'm gonna destroy your kingdom when the time's come.
Dave was exhilarated, strong ally get!
"You won't regret it!" He smiled.
Dave hurriedly packed up and then ready to go.
My kingdom here I come!
