The Universe Is Innately Just 249 Battle Tendencies Part Five

"Looks like you're having quite the feast by yourself!", a rough voice resounded from behind him.

Without turning around, he could feel the potent blood essence from the man behind him. The only person who had developed his body to this state was the red haired man he had met in the Core.

"You also seemed to have enjoyed the feast today.", responded Fell with mysterious insinuations that the red haired man caught upon without difficulty. Fell was referring to the treasure capable of absorbing the blood essence from the beasts.

The red haired man resumed his steps, and his face showed the surprise he was feeling inward due to what Fell had said. "You mind If I join you?", he asked before sitting in front of him.

"Feel free to make yourself at home", responded the young cultivator before raising his head. He noticed that the red haired man was already sitting on the ground, and he hadn't really waited for his invitation.

He focused silently on the last piece of meat in front of him. And left the red haired man to himself for a few minutes, time ticked and it was only when he took out the well cooked meat from the pan did he turn his face toward him. "I saw you guys on the south battlefield.", he briskly spoked. He paused for a second before continuing.

"The gladiators were having quite the fun while wearing MechSuits.", he said with a wry smile on his face.

The red haired man looked deeply into the youth's eyes before responding, with a smile flashing on his face. "Yeah! Who would have thought that those muscles heads would enjoy using technology.", he exclaimed succinctly as a burst of laughter roared out of his throat.

Silence then permeated the surrounded of the two individuals, and before long, it was broken by Fell, who had finished taking out two plates from his spatial pocket. He gave one to the red haired man as he didn't feel like eating alone. Like they say a meal always better when eaten with people.

"Meat is from a fierce beast that looked quite appetizing.", said Fell in a matter of fact tone. His words didn't surprise the red haired man as he was quite used to living outside of the city.

"By the way…", said Fell after taking a bite of a liver piece he had prepared earlier. The juicy sauce he had prepared splashed inside of his mouth as the meat released every wisp of liquid it contained. "What's your name?"

The red haired man finished swallowing the mouthful he had thrown in his mouth before responding. "Akainmhar.", he replied in a strange accent. "Got any liquor on ya?", he added before taking another gigantic bite on the meat at hand.

Fell wasn't surprised by the strange name as the citizen from New Casablanca had originated from a ma.s.sive ethnic fusion that slowly happened over centuries. With a movement of his hand, two bottle of hard liquor appeared in front of him and another snap of his hand remove their caps.

The next few minutes pa.s.sed quietly, with both men enjoying the tender meat accompanied with the hard liquor that soothed their throat. They exchanged small talk between each bite and came to know each other for the first.

Fell learned that Akainhmar wasn't a native from the city and that he had traveled since his youth everywhere on the continent of Afurhirk. His body cultivation had been acquired through his many travels, and New Casablanca had been one of the largest city state existing in the north of the continent.

"What are your thoughts on today's battle?", asked Fell in a succinct manner. Redirecting the dialog on the subject that was grating his mind the most.

"Decent…", mumbled Akainmhar in a low tone. "Most fierce beasts among the beast wave are at most low tier beast that is slightly more dangerous than non evolved beasts."

"Technically speaking, in a one on one situation, any MechSuit pilot could take one without much difficulty.", he added before falling in deep thought.

"Yet I feel that the retreat that happened at night fall was too precise…", he added before leaving the rest to Fell's own interpretation.

The young cultivator's eyes glowed in a mysterious way. His mind worked at lightning speed, and flashes of fresh memory resurfaced in his mind. The appearance of the beast wave at dawn, and its disappearance right at sunset had made it too precise for it just to be a coincidence.

Fell thought for an extended period of time before breaking the silence that had permeated the spot where they sat on the wall. "I can't agree more with you… Do you think whatever they are using to control the beasts need sun light for it to work?"

"Might be the case…", retorted the red haired man before adding. "But It might also be a bait that is aiming to attack us at a time where our defenses would end up being the laxest. And that is vowed to happen at night."

Fell had also thought the same thing, and had been fearing that everything was just a bait. A reset of the fight that aimed at wasting New Casablanca's mental.

In front of them, oiled empty plates sat in front of their leg as they had since long finished the sheep meat that Fell prepared.

Akainmhar grabbed the bottle of liquor in front of him, and lifted its bottom high toward the sky before emptying every speck of the rough liquid down his throat. He then got up from his sitting position while patting his stomach in satisfaction.

He gazed at the distance, and before long, turned toward Fell and pointed toward the vast terrains that surrounded the city. "Want to go check what those f.u.c.kers are doing?", he asked with a sly smile on his face.

A strange chuckle escaped from Fell's lips, and he followed suit and rose to his feet in an instant. "You can sense them from here?", he asked in surprise.

"Yeah."

His answer shocked Fell slightly, but he was aware that the red haired man had a blood related treasure in his hands. He stepped toward the side of the wall, and before long, gazed at the direction pointed by the red haired man.

"A little bit of exercise after eating is said to be quite good for health.", mumbled Fell with sharp light glinting in his eyes. "I'm in", he added before his face toward the red haired man who was already in the midst of jumping out of the wall.

He raised his arms in a broad manner and threw himself in the void existing outside of the city. It didn't take long for Fell to follow suit, and he also jumped from the top part of the wall after recovering the utensils he had used to cook his meal.

The soft breeze turned into sharps knives that poked at his skin, and he sped through the air and fell toward the ground. Two small thuds resounded, and in the next moment, billows of cloud dust rose in the place where they stood.

A few minutes pa.s.sed, and the pair had already left the extremities of the city. "I guess that this does count as my time adventuring out of the city… Today's battle doesn't really count as a true adventure…", he pondered on useless matters as usual. His sight was plastered on the soft moon's figure hanging in the black shade of the sky.

Due to their fast speed, it took them approximately twenty minutes to arrive at the beast's location by following Akainmhar's blood treasure. Their surroundings had changed from small open meadow patches to a luxuriant forest that seemed to have grown out of nowhere.

During their way, Fell noticed several marks on the ground and trees that clearly showed the pa.s.sage of the beast wave. Thousands of fierce creatures couldn't move without leaving traces, and their tracks were left to the open.

The pair left the forest and now stood on top of a strange crooked valley that gave sight to a magnificent chain of mountains that rose from the ground and extended toward the firmament.

"They are hidden among those mountains…", exclaimed the red haired man as he turned his face toward Fell.

"What are we waiting then?", he said with a vicious smile while stepping forward. "I guess it's our turn to attack their turfs.", he jokingly added before darting forward. At this distance, he picked up a few blood essence signals from the chain of mountains in front of him.
