Alfonso was currently sitting on a branch.
"Unbelievable, such strong soul auras, even in Dragon city I didn't feel this amount of pressure" Thought Alfonso.
For better or for worse, although Alfonso was slow due to his bad leg, he has learned how to be slippery, It wasn't his strongest point, but he could stay hidden for a really long time.
"I will have to thank Artemis when I get back" Thought Alfonso.
He saw demons passing near him for some time.
"Or should I say… IF I make it back?" Though Alfonso bitterly.
Alfonso stood there, praying that the hunters did not find him.
A few minutes passed and the group of demons went away, so Alfonso could breathe in relief for some time.
"Anyway, the priority right now is meet with Carmine"
Alfonso descended slowly to the tree he was on and walked slowly inside the jungle.
Every step was taken cautiously as he remembered his conversation with Carmine.
.......................................…..
"The first step for our plan to work is to meet in the hunting grounds"
"I know a good place to meet, I will meet you there the night of the second, until then…"
"Don't worry, I will survive"
.......................................…
"I will survive, right? Yeah, sure, don't wonder everyone calls me arrogant" Though Alfonso.
A few hours have passed since the beginning.
"What is that guy? The reincarnation of a rat? How come nobody can find him yet!?"
"I didn't pay so much just to see a hide-and-seek game!"
"I want my money back!"
The audience was getting impatient, Alfonso had successfully evaded the hunters for the past hours and the audience was bored.
"That guy sure is lucky nya"
"Come on, give him some credit, he is outsmarting those hunters"
Lei and Dante, who were as well watching the competence were smiling at the faces of the other demons.
"By the way, did you make any bets, Lei?"
"I did nya"
"Oh? So, who did you bet for?"
"That guy nya" Said Lei while signaling the screen.
On the screen, Lei signaled a man with a pair of hunting knives on both hands.
"Devon, the best killer on the lower circles, his skills are second to none nya" Said Lei.
"But he is expensive as hell, even the demons of the upper circles have to be cautious around him, I wonder which powerhouse would spend so much just to kill a human" Said Dante.
"I wonder that as well, as far as I know, there is no powerhouse that have that kind of gold coins nya"
"You want to know~?"
Lei and Dante heard a sarcastic voice behind them, when they turned around, they saw a familiar face.
"Butler…"
"What are you doing here nya?" Asked Lei.
"Why can't I be here?" Said the butler.
"You are the host, yet, you are here, are you sure you are doing your work nya?"
"I am, in fact, I am about to do something a little bit… spice…" Said the butler with a smile.
"I don't like that smile nya" Thought Lei.
"What are you planning?" Asked Dante.
"You will see" Said the butler.
He moved forward to the front where everyone looked at him. He turned towards the screen and saw Alfonso, who was still in the hide.
"As you can see everyone, our prey here has some skills, don't worry, this was, of course, in our expectations, so, how about we give our hunters some…clue" Said the butler.
He made a signal to a guard.
.........................................
Back in the jungle, Alfonso was currently hiding once more.
"This is going better than expected" Thought Alfonso.
He had successfully evaded the hunters for a couple of hours already.
"At this peace, I will arrive by the end of today" Thought Alfonso.
Just as Alfonso was smiling, Alfonso felt… a sound coming from his neck.
"What is that?" Said Alfonso.
*Ti* *Ti*
Alfonso turned his head.
*Ti* *Ti*
"Below?"
Alfonso looked down and saw that the small red light was coming… from his neck.
"What?"
Alfonso touched his neck.
"When they did this?" Though Alfonso.
The red thing was like a tattoo, Alfonso didn't when or how did they do this to him.
"This is bad"
Alfonso speeds up.
However, he couldn't go too far as there was someone waiting for him.
"Lucky I was in the neighborhood; the bounty is mine~"
A snake-like creature with a pair of bat wings appeared in front of Alfonso.
Alfonso looked at the creature, on his head, he saw the same red light that was coming from his own hand.
"I see, so this is a tracker" Said Alfonso.
"Oh, not bad for a human, you know your stuff" Said the creature.
Alfonso backed up a little, however, the snake creature didn't let him.
"Your head is mine!"
The snake creature moved towards Alfonso at an insane speed.
Alfonso's hair changed to white.
The snake creature took out a saber and slashed towards Alfonso!
The mind of Alfonso began to simulate scenarios at an insane speed as well!
Alfonso evaded to the right while he used the force of his right hand to lift his cane.
His body moved until he was under the snake creature.
*PUM*!
With his cane, he hit the snake with his cane, making the body of the snake bend.
"Ugh!" The creature spilled green blood.
Alfonso didn't lose his momentum and put all his soul power on his left hand!
He grabbed the back of the snake's head and impale it on the ground.
The snake-like creature felt his head shook and, in a moment, all when black.
Alfonso waited for some seconds and saw that the snake-like creature wasn't moving.
Alfonso took a deep breath and run towards the jungle.
"Strange, how come my soul power is so strong?" Though Alfonso.
*DING*
[Is because host is permanently using his own will power, so, it's becoming stronger and stronger]
The system answer Alfonso.
"So, now I am a king?" Asked Alfonso.
[Not exactly, you become a king when your will power and the soul power reach harmony, however, your will power and your soul power are almost opposites, like water and fire, so, for you to reach the true king level… it hard, dear host]
"I see…" Said Alfonso.
[When you reach your true nature, you will reach the king level]
"What do you mean my true nature?" Asked Alfonso.
[You will have to find out that on your own, dear host]
