'Since we have known each other for quite a while now, I have been wondering why I did not ask for your name when we first met?'
'Huh'
'Yeah! am thinking of what to call you'
'Anything you want, any name you give is acceptable...master'
Leo smirked at its action, this System is just so confusing. One time it acts like a loyal servant next time it will act in a way similar to the way a girl acts when she is talking to her ex-boyfriend.
Sometimes, he would not help but wonder if it will ever change, if it does...then he will wait patiently for that time to come.
If there was anything about it he dislikes, it's that kind of double face (Dishonesty). He dislikes people like that. And what caused this little hatred to people like that is the Emperor.
In front of the people, he will act like a good ruler that cares for the wellbeing of the Empire.
Not that he did not seem to the wellbeing of the Empire, but it's that his main desire is power, and if anyone or anything disrupts his chance to be more powerful then that person is dead meat.
Even if it's the Empire that disrupts that chance, he sees the Empire and the people in it as tools to get stronger, having no care about the consequences of his actions...
Which consequences? Consequences and punishment do not apply to the powerful. So it's the citizens of the Empire that bears the brunt of his every action.
Following what the crystal had told him a while ago, Leo imagined storing the coins and Weapons.
Then under his watchful gaze, the pouches of coins disappeared without a trace, he was awed.
'Is it that this artifact does not use Qi or what?'
One thing I am sure of from the way this artifact functions is that it is special, more special than a normal artifact.
After his first storing Leo was now able to sense some sort of connection to the ring, the connection was like a telepathic connection.
A single word to act from him and the artifact would immediately act.
Leo smiled to himself, he could still remember vividly when he was still considering whether to combine with the Crystal or not. If he went back to that time right now, he would immediately say yes without any hesitation.
Knowing that he sighed.
'That sure is the Irony of life, and information is power!'
He just thanked his stars that he made the right decision. What if he had disagreed?
He decided to ask Crystal this Question.
'During the time we first met, what if I had disagreed combining with you'
Understanding what he asked, the crystal immediately answered, Leo was sure that it would be smirking right now if it have a face right now, Its voice was cold, clearly carrying the intensity of what the situation would have been if Leo had disagreed at that time
'of course!...if you had disagreed I would have forced you, didn't you know that you have no choice in the matter at that time? I am fulfilling your orders'
'There he goes again.' Leo thought smirking to himself.
He started walking to the three chickens that were giving him a mocking glare.
'I was killing their subordinate for a while now but they don't seem to care, something is wrong...something is very wrong'
Leo did and looked at their stats without wasting any time.
Though they are a little bit bigger than the Chickens he fought before, Leo felt that there was more to them than meets the eye.

┗━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━┛
Leo could see on the right-hand side of the floating words was a battery bar signifying, the amount of Life force in its space. it was filled, showing that the beast has full life force in its storage.
'This one is way too much, it has a pack of skills and I have none...worst still this fucking System is telling me to use my fist to fight it.!'
'It has a total of six skills...Fuck!'
Leo was in deep thought and regretted getting closer to this thing, from the information he gathered so far, he was sure that boss monsters are thousand times more dangerous than a normal beasts.
And they all can enter berserk mode at will... this revelation struck him hard.
How will he deal with this beast, This current beast right now could kill Tigers that were in Hearth in The 2000s with a single peck.
Of course, the difference between them is like heaven and earth. Tigers are weak and are not yet beasts as they have not mutated.
But this Chicken right here is almost double the size of a Tiger, not only that... its strength is also too formidable for a 'Tiger' to deal with.
Leo was very confused, he really thought that all chicken monsters would be the same, the difference being just one or two skills, but this current beast though at LVL 5 has the strength of peak LVL 6...just how did the System expect him to deal with that!
Looking at its Health Points (HP) he gasped.
