I had been hiding in the Elari city for an entire year now and had reached the Adept lvl in all my martial arts and my survivability had increased greatly
I could easily crush that pesky Darkholme Wivern that chased me and the Night Crawler Snake would stand no chance as I could shred it from afar
The amount of Li in my body had increased by 100 times and my strength at least by 20 times, the reason I had so much Li in my body was because of the Pacifica talent which the Elari royalty had at lvl 10
The Royal family had set up bounty posters all over the city and guards had been searching for me for the entire year, they knew I had not left as the portal hasn't registered me passing through
Even so I stayed hidden from them by using my skills and talents, whenever they got close to catching me I would disappear in a puff of fog or hide in their own shadows
The Elari walked on two legs (at least those that had legs) much like humans, because of this the Elari lifestyle wasn't much different from humans and I could adapt easily
Unfortunately I still couldn't change my form to anything else and had to keep hiding or use a cloak to prevent them from seeing my form
Today there was a parade of the royal family as it was a festival and the Elari gathered the fruit from the Alder trees, these giant fruits were the size of a human and could feed a family of Elari for several months as the fruit didn't spoil very quickly
I hid in the side of the parade among the crowd while wearing my cloak to cover my face, in the parade I saw four members of the royal family sitting on tamed beasts
Thanks to the pocket dimension the Elari could control the Li in the air in this area and because of this they could once again tame beasts like in the old days, but unfortunately they could not bring them outside as they would quickly go berserk
'wait, four? I thought there were only three?'
I thought as I looked at the fourth member who was a young male slightly older than Lei, he rode next to his father in a dignified manner
As I was in the crowd I noticed someone else slinking about in the shadows, when I followed them I noticed him pull out a throwing spear
"No!!"
I dashed forward and blocked his path right when he threw it, the spear stabbed into my stomach and dragged me along until I landed before the beast of the Royal Prince
When I rolled over I quickly stretched my hand out to the prince who had jumped off his beast and kneeled next to me
When I touched his face I passed out with a content smile, there's no way I could let go of a lvl 13 talent and let him die
"guards! Quickly capture him!"
I heard him shout before I passed out, such ungratefulness had caused me to cough up blood
