With only ten Level 10 Monster Cores left, Aldric found it hard to let them go.
However, he thought the card was very important so that he wouldn't be followed by his two monsters, he wanted two cards.
Despite feeling heavy, he finally decided to buy, spending all his Monster Cores so that the elderly manager smiled so widely.
He was too happy to the point where he personally escorted Aldric out of the monster market.
Aldric sighed as he left.
Almost all of his wealth had been used up, this gave him a miserable feeling.
'Mm...'
As he continued walking, he felt that something was wrong.
This made him glance back occasionally.
'Am I being followed?'
He wondered with a strange expression without stopping his steps.
The Demon Horse and Dead Fish were indeed following him from afar.
Seeing him occasionally glance back, the two looked at each other.
"He sensed our presence," said the Demon Horse.
"It seems that he is indeed strong, I am now convinced that he is at the 10th Stage of Junior Magician," said the Dead Fish.
It was not easy to reach that stage, so anyone who reached it needed to be wary.
"If his talent turns out to be high, then we might not succeed," said the Demon Horse.
"Hmph, he's a big fish, we should give it a try no matter what. After all, we can escape easily and cover our identities," replied the Dead Fish.
After saying that, he began to cover his body with a cloak and put on a black-colored mask.
The cloak he wore was exactly the same as the one bought by Aldric.
The Demon Horse did the same. Only the mask was white. The two then followed Aldric again.
At this time, Aldric actually went straight out of town.
Although he did have that plan, he did it early because he wanted to see who the stalkers following him were.
He didn't want to be bothered with them now because they could mess up his plans later.
With two extremely powerful monsters by his side, he naturally wasn't worried in the slightest.
As he walked, he sent Honey of Life to each of the cards he placed inside his clothing pouch.
The two monsters were able to instantly swallow the Honey of Life from within the cards.
As it turned out, Aldric needed to give the cat ten liters while the bear seven liters, a total of 17 liters.
With just that amount, they could recover to their prime.
If they were released, they would immediately go on a rampage.
Not only leaving the city, Aldric even entered a sizable forest.
There were quite a lot of monsters like wolves.
They were especially wild at night because they slept during the day.
Their roars echoed endlessly.
Aldric could sense their presence from afar, so he could avoid them, going to a location without monsters.
He then stopped beside a large tree, staring at the dark back.
Although the moon was shining brightly, it was difficult for the light to enter the forest because of the many branches and leaves that blocked it.
"Are you going to continue hiding?" he said in a soft but distant voice.
Relying on his strength, he was able to expand the range of his voice.
"Hahaha, so you do know." The sound of laughter echoed from a distance before two figures in robes appeared, one wearing a white mask and the other wearing a black mask.
Aldric instantly felt strange seeing them as he had also bought a cloak and mask with such disguises.
They jumped several times before stopping about twenty meters in front of him.
Such a distance was very close to their level.
"Who are you? Why are you following me?" Aldric asked them.
"Why? To rob you, of course," replied the figure with the black mask.
"If you don't want any trouble, hand over your Storage Artifact and two monsters to us," added the Demon Horse wearing a white mask.
He showed his aura which was blue like lightning.
It began to transform into bolts of lightning that surrounded his body.
There was such an intense pressure from him that the trees trembled.
Even the monsters were terrified of him.
The Dead Fish also began to show his power.
He could control the ground, make the ground rise up and become countless spears.
"In White Wind City, we are one of the strongest players. With our cooperation, no one can escape us. If you don't want to die, give up everything you have," he said.
"They're robbing people again."
At the same time, there were whispers in the distance.
This forest was visited by many players hunting monsters, there were always passersby in every area. Therefore, there were quite a few players who saw them from a distance.
Their reputation had clearly spread. Other players instantly recognized them.
"It seems like they really want to be robbers in this game. Fortunately they're very good at playing and managed to surpass the others," said one of the players.
"Hmph, too bad we failed to unmask them last time we surrounded them. Otherwise, I'd really be looking for them in the real world. They robbed me without restraint yesterday." Someone snorted vindictively.
"We'd better not underestimate that boy, I can sense dangerous power from him." A player with detection ability said.
"Is he also a 10th Stage Junior Magician?" He was immediately asked by the other players.
"Yes, and I think he's really very strong."
"Ohhh, this is surprising. Is he from another city?"
"If he really is that strong, these two guys will be unlucky this time. I really want to see them suffer."
"..."
At this moment, Aldric was still calm as he looked at the two people even though they had revealed their strength.
That there were people trying to rob him was completely beyond his expectations.
It seemed that this was indeed a world without rules. Showing wealth could easily bring trouble.
"Boy, aren't you afraid?" The Demon Horse couldn't help but ask as Aldric still looked calm.
"I'm afraid you two are just looking for trouble coming here," Aldric replied casually.
He was only talking about the facts because he was completely sure they wouldn't be able to fight him.
"Hahahah..." The Dead Fish burst out laughing at that.
"You must be confident because you have two very strong level 10 monsters, yet they are in a weakened state right now. And we have this artifact," he said.
He took out something similar to a box but made of brown iron. It instantly emitted light which then turned into a large transparent cube.
The cube covered an area the size of a football field and was up to fifty meters high.
To Aldric's surprise, the two cards in the pockets of his clothes suddenly flew into the air by themselves, exiting the cube before falling to the ground.
"This cube will confine anyone we want inside and send out anyone we don't want. Anyone below Senior Magician will not be able to get out of this cube, and we have prepared energy that can last up to five minutes," the Dead Fish said again.
