C31

Waking up, a darkly lit sky as huge trees and vines intertwined at the branches entered Arthur's sight.

Arthur was saddened at the moment when he remembers Sylvia back in those both short and long 4 months he's staying at her. He has been treated like her own blood and kind.

He cried thinking of those moments, as he blames himself, after that he fell asleep. He wakes up as a voice speak his mind.

"Um, testing, testing... Ah Good! Hello Art."

Hearing Sylvia's voice, Arthur speak to call her hoping for something, though he got cut off as Sylvia continue to speak.

"This is Sylvia. If you're listening right now, it means I've shown you what I am. It may Frustrate as it seems, you're nowhere near for the whole truth. It might hurt you but you're not strong enough for it.

As a small parting gift. I infused my unique will onto you. Your future development as a Mage will depend on how well you're able to use my gift.

I can imagine what you feel right now. But remember that you have a family to look out for and a purpose to fulfil in this life. My only wish for you is to embrace the joys and innocence of your childhood and become the Man of which your Parents and I can be proud.

You will hear me again once you reach the White Core Stage. As at that time I will explain everything. Be aware of some anomaly and until then, I bid you farewell... King Grey."

Arthur was silent hearing all of that message as the last words shocked him that Sylvia knows her past identity.

He stands and looks at his surrounding after hearing the message of Sylvia. He sprints forwards as he passively activates his technique using Mana while conserving it.

He climbs at the huge tree as his vision was restricted because of it and seeing nothing but the huge tree's he concluded that he was in the Deep Elshire Forest.

Leaping branch by branch Arthur continues to travel with it as he hears a Human voice.

Arriving at the voice location he thought, 'Hopefully they can take me with them. Wait...' but paused as he didn't think this could be true and sneakily got close as he can see what is going on and when he hears them.

"Shut her up."

"Get ready to go! We're only a few days away from leaving this damned forest."

"Hey Boss, Elf Girls go for a lot don't they?"

"She's.. a child too and a virgin. She'll fetch a lot."

* rustle * rustle * rustle *

"Just shut her up and put her in the carriage. We need to move!"

Arthur's expression darkens when he hears that as he thought of one word, 'Slave Traders'. The carriage moved as he followed too.

'Well, I've got to help then. Dealing with those slave traders first was the best course of action. But I'll be patient, since attacking four of them will be suicide.' Arthur thought as he jumps branch to branch silently.

He waited and gathered strength and when it is midnight he proceeds to move as he grabs some seed, as big as a pinky and throw it seeing an animal near the carriage where the Slave Traders camping below.

The animal goes near as the wolves sneakily killed it and howled.

"Shut 'em up before everything in these forest wakes up."

"Okay, Okay! Damn Mutts."

The guarding one proceeds to go at the sound as the other one remains.

"Shoo! Shoo! Motherfuckers." the spiky hair man said as he didn't notice a blurry blue light going down at the huge tree.

He looks suspiciously, behind him as he spoke "A ki--" though got cut off when his throat got cut as he was held down by a little when his neck was gushing blood.

'Thank you for the Weapon.' Arthur thought as he goes to hide behind the carriage while the wolves happily devour the corpse with its crunchy noises.

The Fat man that remains behind hears it...

"Are you Takin' a piss or something--" he got cut off as his mouth was covered with a knife continuously pressing at his neck smoothly, and slowly killing him.

Arthur released the corpse as it slumps to the ground. He leans at the carriage only to be met by the knocking sounds of someone who is behind it.

It was heard by the last two slave traders as the one seemed the boss spoke,

"Why is it so noisy, Where are you, you idiots." he said while walking away to find the other two.

The badly one remain as he reacted fast when his intuition spiked, drawing his sword behind him upwards, leaving him exposing his lower body open.

Arthur swiftly continues at that, slashing the legs making the badly unable to stand up.

The boss not far away from it and hearing the sound he quickly go at it as he saw his ally on the ground with his leg bleeding.

"Be careful boss this kid is a Mage."

"Hmm, A Kid Mage huh? Then we don't want to accidentally damage the goods that lay before us then." He said as he released his sword and gathered the mana in both of his hands.

He rushed to Arthur as he punches downward only to break the ground as Arthur evaded only to be pursued again but stopped as his enemy got a bruise in his cheeks when he sneakily kicks him.

Not wasting a second Arthur throws the knife, aiming at the enemy neck only to be dodge and catch.

"You have some nice tricks..." he said as he swiftly appeared in front of Arthur and kicked upwards only to be blocked.

Arthur flew meters away when he blocks that kick as his head was blurry for a second.

"Now come here, My Bag of Gold." Arthur's enemy said as he grabs the leg, lifting Arthur.

Arthur didn't care as he tried something and grabbing the hands of his enemy, and using his Magic to emit some small explosion.

The Enemy didn't even notice as the pain clouded him and cursing at Arthur when he catches him, as he was silence when his neck got slash.

Arthur revealed himself as he cough in the smoke behind him. He looked at the remaining Slave trader as he begs for mercy, though got killed.

*phew* Arthur exhaled at that while he sits on the ground resting. He thought first of disposing of the Corpses near the wolves since it will terrify the person who got captured.

After disposing of the corpses, Arthur goes on the carriage as he saw a little girl curling in the clothes as her hands were tied, crying.

Arthur didn't know what to do at this as he cleared his throat and formed a smile while offering his hands as he said, "Come on, It's safe you can go home now."

The little girl looked at the childish voice she heard and began crying even more.

Oliver who was near the Beast Glades area, got out to the ones that will deliver a letter. He smiled and begins to walk in the direction of Beast Glade again as he started in the letter that he may not be able to return as he got something important to do. It may take him some time but they may not worry about it since he can take care of his self now even if he is four years old.

Walking in the streets, Oliver was wearing a black blindfold, as he got Auburn silky white hair. He got black-cloaked that he buys from the clothing store in the area where he's currently at.

Every people was looking at him curiously as some "Adventurers" also saw him though he was ignored as they got something to do. Though some of them got a little interest since there is a dwarf here that have been a misunderstanding since Oliver has a little height.

Oliver ignored the looks as he rushes to his destination while smiling.
