Ares blinked staring at the Fox "Malfunction? and what does that mean?"
"The energies of the two body are in no way in sync..A powerful being can't comfortably dwell in a mortal weakling body abruptly. So it will lead to malfunctions until the two bodies come in Sync "
Ares slowly nodded. He had understood what was Said "Malfunctions, like?"
"Temper change. You might not be able to control your anger and rage. and when it happens your eyes go red. Then you might use your power..But normally now, You've lost a great deal of your Cultivated power. you lost 99%!"
Ares mouth dropped "That much..??"
The fox nodded" But when your anger takes over you might use up to potential of 50% , Not fully though. And as for blind issues... It's undecided when it happens "
The fox sighed" But these have exceptions. So whatever malfunction you see. you have to cope with it"
"Oh Jeez!" Ares sighed. Just when he had come to his World to enjoy himself to the fullest with great power, He had lost it all!
And will also have to face malfunctions?!
"But.. Where is my power tool? my Flute!" Ares Knew that the Evil MC's signature weapon was his flute.
He also had many others as he leveled up back then. But his flute was just his identity. "I had gone to the Mountain to take it, But I didn't see it. Could it be that those righteous sect has stolen my weapon!"
Ares knew It was impossible to take his flute. It was am extremely powerful weapon that no one can handle!
Anyone who takes it would run wild insane and die!
"I don't think they took it. When your body was destroyed and soul sealed, Your flute automatically disappeared from the world "
"Oh, really? I don't remember adding that to the novel though" Ares thought with a nod " At least it's good. So how do I find it again?"
"But the strange news is that. Before you appeared, The flute had already appeared "
Ares was confused " Huh? How?"
"I'm still yet to understand..But I think someone has it. Yeah, a living being possess the flute. So you'll have to find that person First before you get it"
"Oh Geez. That's stressful! Don't you know who this person is?" He questioned.
"No, I don't " The Fox said" But I do know something!"
"What's it?" Ares Looked at the fox curiously.
The fox smiled" The path to a very good Meal shop!"
Ares frowned "Did you wait for my return just to eat?"
"Well not really..But ever since you left I haven't had any Human delicious meal! Since I'm not human and can't be seen by them. so it's hard to get a good meal! I haven't had any in a thousand years now!"
Ares sighed staring at him "Isn't it dangerous to roam around the world? The Demon Patriarch like me has returned, so I should keep a low profile!"
Ares folded his hands proudly as the fox glared at him.
"No one knows you..In their eyes you're just a mad man" It stated, cracking Ares confidence level.
"Whatever. Let's go eat, I think I'm hungry" Ares covered up as he turned and walked away.
*****
The Market square of the Tara Village was bustling with buyers. It was obvious that this Market had lots of offer. Even foreigners from other cities had come to buy.
Ares had managed to steal himself some decent cloths.
A black garment and purple belt. He had his hair left lose but pushed backwards. With new pair of shoes too, He was looking Causally elegant.
"The historical time is really a good Period. Even the scenery is nice" Ares expressed as he strolled through the streets with both hands behind him.
"What do you mean by that? You're talking all weird again " The little fox who was on his right shoulder, stated.
"You won't get it, little one" Ares said.
"My name isn't little one! don't tell me you forgot my name?" The fox questioned.
"How can I forget! it's Neon" He said.
"Oh, that's a relief then" Neon sighed. "Over there's! That's the restaurant!"
Ares stopped as he stared towards the restaurant " come to think of it. We don't even have any money. How do you expect us to eat here?"
"The same way you got your cloths " Neon stated.
"Oh, makes sense" Ares nodded as he made his way into the restaurant.
He found a table and sat down on it with the fox standing on the table. The waiter came.
"Young Master, what would you like to have?" He inquired?
"Well.. Give me .." Ares had then began making his litany of orders!
"Oh...are you sure?" The waiter asked.
"Of course! are you looking down on me?!" Ares questioned.
"No no! not at all. I'll go get it" The waiter left.
"Wow, that's more than I expected" Neon expressed.
"Since I'm back! We should celebrate it of course" Ares said.
"But then, How do you expect to escape from this? I mean you obviously don't have the Money to pay" Neon asked.
"Just wait, The Master always has his ways" Ares smiled folding both hands.
As they sat there waiting for their order, Ares happened to Sense something.
He instantly stiffened with a plain expression. He felt a strong energy roaming through his nerves.
"I sense it" He said as the Fox looked at him.
"What?" Neon asked, slightly curious.
"I Sense my flute's energy"
