"Master, what happened?" Black Dragon asks worriedly.
"the system just downgrade my skill because I was considered a catastrophe for the people here with my energy" he explain to not make them worry.
"but will you be ok, master's power has been restricted, could you still fight with your condition?" this time it was Phoenix who ask. His face was full of rage not because of his master but to however is restricting him.
"not to worry, I still have my internal energy and from what I could tell in my surroundings there aren't any monsters that can threaten my life"
He look down at his clothes and notice that he was wearing a tunic. His white hair was long and braided. His appearance didn't seem similar to the people here. He was even taller than his original height. He took out his mask, making sure they were fitted perfectly. The red crystal in the center was replaced with White Tiger's gift, the crystal called Lapiz. This way the mask will last longer.
"Let us go hunt some monster " he said
"ok" they agreed, and they soon morphed their bodies turning into an accessory. The red-orange necklace was the Phoenix, and the black bracelet was Black Dragon. The white animal fur coat was White Tiger and the Nine-tailed fox morphed with his mask changing its appearance to that of a fox.
He walked around trying to find a place to hunt a monster. Using his powers he enveloped his body with energy and run towards where the people who were riding their beast heading.
[Master your energy is quite different so it would be safer to be careful in using them] Black Dragon reminded and so he change the course of energy inside his body.
Seven had to admit that this world was perfect for training as he was starting from the beginning. He can also gain more experience in fighting monsters which is pretty much just like the zergs.
He encountered quite a lot of monsters on the way. They were weak and lacking intelligence making it easier to kill them. To make hunting easier, he took out his sword. The sword was made of the strongest metal in the interstellar. It was a gift he received from Magus. Of course, he used camouflage to change most of its features.
As he was getting closer to the dense forest, there were more people around. Just like him, they were hunting monsters. However, they could not be like Seven who was slicing monsters like butter. Some people were even shocked to see him kill hundreds of beasts.
He saw a group of seasoned warriors carrying a monster trap inside a cage. There were 5 of them, 3 men and 2 women. They were about 25 in age.
"Hello, sorry to disturb you but may I ask something? " he asked the man wearing a grey kimono. The man looked at him and so was his group.
"ah yeah sure" the man said still shocked by Seven. The five were among the people who saw him hunt monsters. They were amazed by his strength. They didn't expect a man like Seven who has a thinner build to be able to kill a savage beast so easily.
"you see I'm still new to this place and I don't know much, is it okay if you give me a short introduction to this place? By the way, I'm Seven" he said, he smiled but then remember he was wearing a mask. he thought about whether he should remove it but realized it would be more troublesome.
The five immediately understand what Seven was referring to. They were not surprised about Seven being a new person here. There have been quite a lot of visitors lately due to the monster season.
"I'm Shigeo, the leader of this group, though it might not look like it we're all c class warriors. " he said and reach out his hand which Seven gladly took.
The others introduced themselves. The other two men wearing armor made of spider exoskeletons were called Shin and Shun. The twin whose expertise lies in swords and bows. The two women were Leah and Jasmine. Leah was Shigeo's lover and is the magician while Jasmine is a tiger beast kin. Their group was called Rogue and has been a warrior since they were fifteen.
They decided to have their conversation as he collected the carcasses just like how the warriors did.
It turns out that this town was called Hanwi. The central town in the eastern part of Leilen.
Warriors would visit this place during this time for the monster feast where in rare monsters would come out due to the changes in the temperature. The sea is also another factor. Merchants and warriors alike wanted to buy and sell products to earn money and find rare items.
"you need to register for an ID at the guild, though people would have a hard time getting one but based on your clothes you wouldn't have troubles. People there are often lenient with visitors from the central." Leah explained, they had assumed that Seven was from the central kingdom.
The central Kingdom as the name implies is the center of their country. It's where the riches, the strongest, and the most skilled gather. Most nobles live there, their demeanor was similar to Seven that's why they were able to assume that he was from there. Another factor would be we're his clothes, they didn't seem cheap and even had spiritual energy in them. He was also strong, his appearance was that of a noble family's young master.
"If you want we can accompany you as we're headed there as well" Shigeo offered and Seven gladly accepted. They were kinda wary of Seven but they were afraid that Seven would be displeased with not being served. They have heard that people from the central nobility are not someone you can deal with easily. Of course, Seven saw the nervousness the five felt, anyway, they couldn't hurt him anyway.
He didn't know much about this world and his familiars have forgotten most of the things here as it has been a long time since they had been here.
The group after slaying the monster on the way hurriedly runs toward the town.
As they go further Seven could smell the salty sea breeze.
He stops when he finally reaches the town. There he saw the vast sea. It was swarming with people and beast kin alike. Some of them look like warriors with their large bodies and tall physique. Others have a beast part like the ears and tails.
A huge ship carrying boxes and merchants was waiting at the port while others were busy looking at the market.
"we're here," they said as they give their identification card to the guards guarding the gate. The guards of course ask the five who Seven was and so he decided to step up. He was secretly communicating telepathically with his familiar because Phoenix remember having something that might help them pass through the gates safely.
Phoenix once encounter an injured man as he was killing a monster. The guy was on the verge of death and he felt bad seeing the man asking for help and so inputted his fire and that fire fully transformed the man's body. One should remember that his fires are different as it's attributed to rebirth. The man was become strong and had become famous for that very same flame and ended up building his clan.
This happened during his training here in the mystic dimensions. The man had followed him for countless years and during the 4 months break he would assign the guy to have a secluded practice. That was how he was able to keep his identity as a dimension traveler a secret.
[That kid was annoying and keep asking me to accept him as my student. After so many rejections he finally gave up. When I was about to say my farewell he told me if I ever need anything I could just show the badge he gave me.] he explains.
A badge then suddenly appeared on his hand. It had the shape of a phoenix and was made of fire spirit crystal. The metal didn't feel hot but instead, it was cool. He decided to try it, if it didn't work then they could just apply for an ID.
Seven then showed the badge and the onlookers' face was bewildered. The five warriors had their eyes open wide. The guard stiffened as soon as the fire Phoenix badge was shown.
" I. I am.."the guard doesn't know what to say and the other one immediately intervenes as to not annoy Seven.
"I'm sorry for the delay we have already checked your identity. So you may now enter" he said respectfully and Seven wonder how powerful the person behind the badge was.
He steps inside the gate when he notices the five members of Rouge was not following him. He look back and saw them still frozen on their feet.
"you guys are not coming?" he asked and the five scurried over afraid of making Seven waits.
The five had the same thought in their minds.
'no wonder he is strong'
