!!!!!!!!!

Charnia opened her eyes in shock, the memories of her getting attacked and pursued by the three demonized Owlfolks rushed into her head, making her heart rate increase at a high speed.

Tap!

She could suddenly feel a huge hand tapping on her head. The hand is warm and comforting, making her heart rate slowly return to its usual pace.

“Calm down, child. You’re fine,” said Druid Oz with a smile.

As Druid Oz is a total stranger to Charnia, she couldn’t help but feel cautious and wary of him. But she soon realizes that the wounds she got from the three demonized Owlfolks before she fainted are already disappeared.

(Did this guy heal me?) (Charnia)

“Excuse me, who are you?” Asked Charnia.

“Hm~ You can just call me Ren, child. Nice to meet you,” said Druid Oz.

“Ren… Never heard that name before, which kingdom do you come from?” (Charnia)

(Hm… What kind of identity I should use… Well) (Druid Oz)

“I don’t belong to any kingdoms, child. I live in nature, like this,” (Druid Oz)

“I see… So you’re an outcast, huh… My sister had told me about outcasts, but this is the first time I ever meet one directly…” (Charnia)

“Outcast…” Druid Oz muttered to himself with a wry smile.

“Do you want to escort me back to my kingdom, Ren?” Charnia asked Druid Oz with a tone similar to a command.

(This kid…) (Druid Oz)

“They’ll pay you greatly for saving me!!!” Persisted Charnia.

“Kingdom, huh… Where is this kingdom of yours, child?” Asked Druid Oz.

“You didn’t know about the Galhala kingdom? Ah… I see… So outcasts didn’t know about the kingdoms, huh…?” Charnia muttered to herself.

“…..” Druid Oz tried to restrain himself from rebuking Charnia’s statement.

“Then come with me! We’ll give you a place to live! You’ll also get lots of rewards and delicious food, for saving me, you know!?” Charnia continues to offer Druid Oz to come with her to her kingdom.

(This kid… Who did she think she is? She might be giving me those offers, but in the end, I bet she is just afraid of getting attacked by some demonized Owlfolks again. But well…) (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz could see that there are some tears at the corner of Charnia’s eyes. The reason why the tears haven’t fall yet is that she’s trying her best to make sure the tears won’t fall.

(She must be afraid after experiencing the danger of death… What a strong kid… Well, I need to search for more information about this eastern continent anyway, so let’s accept this kid’s offer) (Druid Oz)

“Fine, I’ll escort you, child,” Answered Druid Oz.

Hearing Druid Oz’s words, her face lightened up as a huge smile appeared.

“You will!?” (Charnia)

“Yes, I will. What is your name, child?” Asked Druid Oz as he patted Charnia’s head.

“Charnia! Charnia Galhala!” answered Charnia in great enthusiasm. Just as Druid Oz thought, she’s greatly nervous and scared to go home alone. After experiencing such terror last night, she couldn’t help but get a slight trauma of going alone.

“I see, nice to meet you, Charnia. Now, let’s go. Your family must be worried,” (Druid Oz)

“True, let’s go,” said Charnia as she nodded and transformed into a huge two-meter-tall owl.

“……….” (Druid Oz)

“What? Why don’t you transform to your owl form too?” Asked Charnia innocently.

(I see… She doesn’t realize that I’m a druid, huh…) (Druid Oz)

A druid is a creature of nature just like an ent. But different from ent, druids have the form of a human and have the ability to transform themselves to any magic beasts they’re compatible to transform.

But in Druid Oz’s case, as he’s a druid clone that possesses a tremendous amount of mana, he could transform into all magic beasts, but with one condition, he must ever kill the magic beast and absorb the magic core to be able to transform into it.

The reason why Druid Oz stays silent is that he’s controlling the roots of the trees that are entangling the demonized Owlfolks underground to stab their hearts and take their magic core. After a moment of silence, Druid Oz finally finished absorbing the mana from the magic core of the demonized Owlfolks.

(Now disintegrating the demonic mana… Done. Let’s see what kind of owl I’ll be transforming into…) (Druid Oz)

Unlike Charnia that transformed into an owl immediately without any prior changes in her surroundings, in Druid Oz’s case, countless green particles suddenly gush out from the ground and enveloped his whole body.

The green particles are consist of dense nature mana, making the plants and the flowers surrounding them grow and bloom at a crazy pace as if they’re congratulating Druid Oz’s transformation.

The shadow of Druid Oz slowly grows bigger before finally stopped until it’s 4 meters long. The green particles suddenly disperse and disappeared to the thin air, revealing a huge and mighty owl.

Charnia looked at Druid Oz’s transformation in awe. It’s the first time for her to see such a grand transformation. And Druid Oz’s owl form is as huge and mighty as her royal father, with his size, he could easily apply as the captain of the royal guard of the Galhala kingdom.

(Hm~) (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz raises his wings as he tries to get familiar with this new form of his. The body is huge and strong, the wings are mighty enough to fly at high speed for 10 hours straight, and his claws are strong enough to chop a tree.

The outcome is obvious since Druid Oz is at the [King] rank of the race, so any form he takes will be also at the [King] rank of the race. But different from any other form he had used before, he could feel the strength of the Owlfolk’s body.

(Seems like I just hit the jackpot) (Druid Oz)

(The wings alone are already better than the griffin. Not to mention the stamina and the overall strength of the claws) (Druid Oz)

“Whoa!!! Are you a royal descendant of a certain kingdom, Ren?” Asked Charnia with her sparkling eyes, but soon those sparkling eyes turn into a sad ones.

“I see… A royal descendant that became an outcast, huh… You must have a harsh childhood…” Muttered Charnia in a low voice as her eyes once again got teary because imagining what kind of childhood Druid Oz had gone through even though it’s completely different from reality.

(What a kindhearted child, but no, I did not experience any throne usurping drama, child. Don’t look at me with those eyes as if I’m a prince that ran from my kingdom because my father and mother are killed by my uncle that usurped the throne) (Druid Oz)

But without giving any reply, Druid Oz just answered Charnia’s imaginations with a smile.

“I see… Let’s go, Ren… My kingdom will definitely make you happy…” Said Charnia in a sad tone.

(Just show the way already, kid! And stop talking it’s your kingdom, wait, don’t tell me that she’s somehow truly a bigshot?) (Druid Oz)

“Now, let’s go! Lead the way, Child!” said Druid Oz so that Charnia would stop with her wild imaginations.

“Okay! Make sure you keep up with me, Ren!” (Charnia)

The both of them flew to the sky and dashed towards Charnia’s kingdom, Druid Oz is rather unexpected with how fast Charnia’s flying speed is.

(She must be talented. Her mana is only about at the [Count] rank, but she’s capable to fly at 50% of my full speed, she’ll definitely have a promising future) (Druid Oz)

“Your speed is praiseworthy, child!” (Druid Oz)

“You too, Ren! Even most of the royal guards couldn’t match with my speed!!!” (Charnia)

(But well, flying with this Owlfolk form is very comfortable! It’s much more stable and strong than the Griffin form, I think I’ll be using this form often) (Druid Oz)

Unlike the magical forest of Everdeen that doesn’t have any barren land inside of the forest, there are lots of barren lands with dead soils on this Eastaria continent. But there are strange scents inside the barren lands.

Demonic mana.

(I see… The demonic mana dominated the nature mana consisted inside the soil, killing most of the living organisms inside the soil. But unlike magic beasts, microorganisms couldn’t survive if they’re contaminated with the plague-like demonic mana… Resulting in the soils of this land dying… But the problem is…) (Druid Oz)

“It’s infecting the other soils… This problem might lead the Eastaria continent to get burnt by the flames of wars…” (Druid Oz)
