My Own Path: The Red Phoenix

Ch 32 – Mendelth Set Armor

“It should be three Grey Wolf's tails, it's enough to eat us a joke yes, so I don't need to find another Wild Beast anymore right,” Claude muttered to himself, “Hmm it seems so, Hmm, but how do I bring these three Grey Wolf?”

“Ah yes, now I will have a Storage Ring, why should I be confused” then Claude approached the three Grey Wolf that had been lying down and began to put it into the Storage Ring.

“Ok is done, now it's time to go back,” Claude turned around and then walked casually towards where he rested with Ashura.

While Ashura was still silent on the tree, Ashura was not aware Claude had returned.

“Where did the boy go? Had he already returned to camp” Ashura came down from the tree and began to search for Claude's trail, afraid the boy would do something strange back.

“It seems so” Ashura finds a trail of Claude that leads directly to their camp and then Ashura follows Claude back to his camp.

“Where's your uncle from? See this young Wild Beast Grey Wolf with a mid-level two what my duty is right” upon Ashura's arrival, Claude immediately showed the Grey Wolf body he was skinning to take his flesh and then roasted it.

“Yes I know, you've done your job well, good job” Ashura approached and rubbed – nguce Claude's head.

“He he he, I told you no, it's so easy to hunt these Wild Beasts” Claude boasted of his achievements.

“Yes you were right, I saw your action too, now I have something to ask you?” Ashura sat down to help Claude skin Grey Wolf's meat.

“Oh so you also saw uncle” Claude answered flatly, Claude felt uncle Ashura was not as handsome as uncle Tanhill who could exchange words – said mockery with him. “What do you want uncle to ask?”

“I want to ask where did you learn Stealth from, even to such a stage?” Ashura recalls Claude's Shadow Lost ability.

“S... Stealth, Stealth is what uncle?” Claude binngung with Ashura's question.

“You don't know what Stealth is?”

“Is Stealth the name of a kind of Herbal plant, or the name of an Alchemy technique,” Claude answered flatly.

“Ah..” ‘It looks like I should get used to this kid's behavior, for some reason this child could look smart next time and not knowledgeable the next time’ Ashura muttered in his heart began to make peace with the shock he always received from Claude

“Hmm son, looks like you still have a lot to learn about martial arts”

 “Hmm, did I answer wrong uncle, it's worth that I didn't find the term Stealth in Tanhill” uncle's book Claude nodded – nods his head “So Stealth is what uncle?”

“Stealth that, one of the capabilities of Assassin that can negate the existence of the body of the user, on a certain level can also eliminate the presence of the user, the existence of the user, Stealth itself is especially useful for sneak attacks that Assassin” Ashura often does.

“Now my question is, where did you learn Stealth skills like you did just when you ambushed this Grey Wolf?” Ashura asked back.

“Oh uncle asked about my abilities, but the abilities I used were not Stealth uncle, that ability I named Shadow Lost, I myself made the technique, so I gave my own name” Claude replied proudly.

“Hmm” Ashura is not surprised anymore by what Claude said, “Alright now I change the question, how can you make such an ability, I want to know it”

“Oh so basically uncle is curious about my ability and wants to learn from me? Why is uncle's speech so difficult to understand, why not just say ‘I want to learn abilities like you?’ that's all bothered” Claude sneered.

“You ..” ‘Remember Shura, she is just an innocent little boy, who does not yet know the cruelty of the world, hold your anger, hold ..’ Ashura muttered inwardly and sighed a few times.

Then Ashura realized, ‘It is fitting that Mr. Tanhill often looks upset with this child, so this is the cause,’ has not been up to one day only Ashura has been able to estimate his life will be right – full of emotions in the future.

Seeing Claude's expression made Ashura uncomfortable, it was clear that Ashura wasn't very good at socializing, and Ashura didn't know that Claude was just teasing her, in Ashura's mind, she was obliged to explain the intent of her question, and Ashura was not aware that Claude was just teasing her, so it does not make the child misunderstand.

“Hey want to listen to me, your ability earlier is a high-level Stealth ability, although a high level is not impossible also learned by every Assassin, and I myself also have such abilities, as well, so I explained that I am not interested in learning from you, ok!!” Ashura stared fixedly at – of Claude's eyes.

“Ohhhh”

“Well what interests me is why you are still young, especially in the realm of Novice already have such abilities, what have you done?”

“Until sometime, due to being too focused I subconsciously took out my Shadow Spirit to envelop my body, from that moment I realized that this ability was very useful for me to ambush the prey of my – prey, therefore I continue to hone this ability until like today”

“But I feel the ability of Shadow Lost is only developed while for my archery ability is not at all, therefore I always hunt level one Wild Beasts because they are easy to defeat with one arrow”

‘Hmm just deserved this kid is adept at releasing one arrow’ Ashura nodded his head.

“Therefore after getting the Quick Draw scroll and studying it, I felt the obstacle that was holding me back disappeared instantly” Claude smiled happily telling me what he felt. “Thank you uncle” Claude bowed his head.

“Then if you're used to fighting level one Wild Beasts why didn't you tremble when fighting the Grey Wolf earlier?” Ashura asked again.

“for that matter, maybe I am getting used to it, because a few days ago I managed to defeat Poison Stinger alone and the experience is still warm in my mind, so when I saw the weaker Grey Wolf from the Poison Stinger I was not too afraid he he he” Claude grinned the horse.

“You ... You ... You managed to defeat Poison Stinger alone?” Ashura couldn't help but feel shocked and she shouted, “How to?”

“I snake arrow was right at his vital point” Claude smiled knot, not telling more details.

“K .. ka .. you ..” Ashura could not say – words, Ashura knew that there was something that Claude was hiding, it was impossible even in his wildest dreams that a Poison Stinger died by one arrow of an eight-year-old little boy.

But Ashura also could not force Claude to tell the whole incident in detail, but Claude's confession also made clear his calm demeanor.

Ashura thought she could trust this child's words without having to confirm it first.

‘I think today, I have pretty much accepted the various strange events this child has, but still I feel this child still has a lot of weirdness in his body’ Ashura murmured

“Hey son, let alone the shocking events I should know, so that I can prepare with my heart” Ashura began to see Claude like a monster boy just out of his egg.

“Mean uncle?” Claude was confused by Ashura's question.

“Nothing ... no” Ashura waved her hand “Well because you are so special, I also have to treat you with specialness, on your present ability, ordinary training will not be too useful for you, which is clear all the techniques I gave you sure you were able to master it quickly” Ashura smiled mysteriously.

“So I have decided to give you something interesting” then Ashura took out a set of Armor from inside her Storage Ring.

Claude was happy to hear Ashura's words, but just for a moment, the expression of happiness turned into confusion when Claude saw a set of armor raised by Ashura.

“Hmm what is this uncle?”

“Yes, a set of armor what else do you see”

“Forku?”

“Yes to you, you are lucky enough that I gave you this Armor, this set of Armor is very valuable, especially for a child like yourself who still needs very intensive basic training, This armor will be very useful for you, this Armor that accompanied me when my – training period was” Ashura seemed to reminisce a little about his past.

“But instead of an Assassin always wearing a cape huh uncle, and an Archer, I always see them wearing armor made of cloth or leather, not heavy armor like this? is this true for my training”

“Hey little boy, you will not know before trying it, the proof is that I used to practice using this Armor, therefore according to my judgment this Armor is clearly useful for you” Ashura still assured Claude.

Seeing Ashura who was very persistent in persuading him, somehow Claude felt an unpleasant feeling creeping on his shoulders, “Hmm the name of this Armor what uncle”

“Name, Mendelth Set Armor”
