After a while, Emil and Drax came back with Kamil. Kamil had told everything to them on the way. Emil looked at him with sorry, She gave him a long hug wanting to take off the tension from his shoulder.
"You are level 6 now, that was fast, what, do you want to catch up with your big sister so quickly?" Emil said in a teasing tone.
"You are level 8 sis, it will take ages to get near your level. But I do want to have a fight with you."
"Hey, keep the fighting for later, we must take care of that ogre first. But Amil…. hahaaha you have become strong!" Drax patted Amil's shoulder strongly making Amil happy. They talked for a while but Amil got the craving to fight again, he couldn't fight his sister so the only option was the forest.
"I will meet you guys at dinner, might as well check the forest," Amil said looking at them. Emil and Drax did not know whether to laugh or cry, he had lived in the forest for so many days, but he wanted to leave again so soon?
"I will go too" Zach bowed towards Drax and Emil leaving with Amil. Pumpkin was already coiled around Amil's tail.
Amil reached the tree house that he built before jumping and reaching it within a second. The floor was covered with vines and the bed that he left was covered in dust. It seemed no one entered it in his absence.
He saw Zach climbing it up from the tree base with etiquettes and chuckled.
"Let's fucking kill those nearby neighbors…" Amil said with a crazy grin on his face. Zach became excited by Amil's enthusiasm.
"There is one mutated monkey near here, I had a close fight with it but couldn't kill it, it got some good punches you know."
"Let's see what it's got."
Amil knew which monkey Zach was talking about. He let Zach lead him to it. He saw the same monkey from before when he established his territory in level 5.
Zach looked behind him and saw the wild aura emitting from Amil, he decided to not get in between the fight not wanting to know what will happen if Amil wanted to take his anger on him.
Amil walked towards the monkey with the unusual black fur. The monkey first growled wanting to bully the kobold a little. But after feeling the sharp aura, he went on guard. The fact that the kobold was one level above him did not help with the wariness.
Amil materialized a fireball in his hand in an instant hitting it in the face.
"Karraghhh!!" The monkey screamed with his fur on fire.
Amil moved at a speed that made his silhouette blurry coming in front of the monkey in an instant. He grabbed its neck moving him up. The monkey got lifted up in an instant, it tried to hit Amil's arm, but it didn't do anything to him. Amil getting annoyed materialized another fireball in his hand while holding the monkey's neck, The fireball blasted in his hand making its neck and the head explode, blood and flesh hitting everywhere.
[EXP +42, +1 strength]
"Tsk… too weak" Amil waved his trying to remove the blood and battered flesh from his hand.
Zach was frozen the whole time, Amil had killed it too easily as he couldn't believe what happened in front of him. He knew that fire magic was not Amil's main fighting style.
"I need more…" Amil said as if asking Zach for more.
"After seeing your fight…. I don't think any of them are your match."
Amil looked at Zach for a while before calming down. He wanted to fight very badly…..it had become some kind of thrill for him to fight with his life on the line.
All the territories around him were of level 5s, after a while, Amil thought of going towards level 6 but stopped as he promised a dinner with his family.
With a sigh, he told Zach and Pumpkin to fight and come back for the dinner, pumpkin didn't get off wanting to stay on Amil's tail.
He reached back to the tribe and went to the merchant for the gold. The merchant saw him coming from afar and couldn't help but mutter.
"Damn…"
"What?"
"I would not like to give my daughter to you now," The merchant said looking at Amil from head to toe.
"Suit yourself, old kobold" Amil chuckled with satisfaction. He got a piece of good news after so much time.
"So…. what can I do for you today?"'
Amil materialized a copper ore in his hand. The merchant looked at it in surprise.
"Where did you get it? Did you loot a goblin lair or something?" The merchant joked and snickered. But from Amil's silence, his eyes went huge.
"Wai-"
"How much for one piece?"
The merchant took the piece of copper ore, after examining it for a while he answered, "It's not of good quality, there will be more waste than pure copper in it, Hm...I can give you 5 gold coins for it."
Amil's eyes went wide, 5 gold for one piece? Amil had literally thousands of it.
"Ya, I have 3 more of it for now" Amil kept 4 total pieces on the table not wanting to make rash decisions. The merchant looked at him with narrowed eyes as if seen through him, truly a professional but didn't say anything.
Amil took the 20 gold coins and went towards his home for the time being. He saw Emil sharpening her sword on a stone slab. She saw him coming and smiled.
"Your steps have become silent, you know. Many people will not even know someone is moving."
"But you are different. You are strong."
They talked for a while. Amil told her how Kamil told him to let go of the thing that was making him like this.
"The only thing that would do something like that can be the goblin village massacre…but it was a rational decision, killing them as they would have done the same," Emil said while patting his shoulder in reassurance.
"I think so…"
"I feel a but coming"
"Yeah…...they were like not into fighting, living their lives as miners. I feel like I killed innocents for my selfishness."
"I don't think they are innocents, I mean they are from a different species and dangerous for us…"
That's when Amil remembered that his family was not human by soul like him. The problems he was facing were even oblivious when it came to humans in this world, but Amil was a human from a peaceful world where getting a small injury will lead him to go to a hospital unlike here where you miraculously regenerate your flesh and bones with the potions and mana around.
He looked at his sister making a confused tilted face and couldn't help but pat her head. Emil felt this good feeling for the first time, she was the first child so getting pats were not normal because Drax was not that love-showing. She enjoyed it but came back to her senses quickly patting the hell out of Amil's head from embarrassment.
The family reunion was going well ending with a good refreshing family dinner.
"Mother, when I killed the leader, I found a lot of copper ore, like thousands of pieces. According to the merchant, it is impure but one of the pieces goes for 5 gold coins."
"That's good, you will get good money to buy stuff then."
"Yeah, I sold 4 ores.."
"You didn't sell all?"
"NO, I felt like it will go to waste with just that."
"Hm…..you can use it to make weapons and stuff you use, I can talk to a good friend if you want to learn."
"Yeah…that would be great. But after killing that fu…ducking ogre." Amil missed a sharp bullet with that one. Kamil frowned but let it go this time.
"We will be leaving in the morning; will you be coming too?"
"Yeah, you bet I will. I already destroyed 2 of their cavalries when I was there. I even have a friend that helped me reach back home."
"What's cavalries? ….Never mind, this friend….is it a beast too like always?" Drax asked with a normal tone as if saying something he knew was already true.
Amil became beet red from embarrassment, It seems his father knew too much about him.
