My Own Path: The Red Phoenix
Ch 46 – Long Nights
“Tonight you trained here” Ashura found a quiet, rocky place far from where the battle was earlier this afternoon.
“I think soon the city soldiers will come to check the situation, so I have to go back there and provide information, you stay here and focus on training course”
“Iya uncle” then Claude immediately took a seat that he thought was comfortable and then focused his mind starting to absorb the natural energy and raise his realm little by little.
‘Mental is strong, even after a stressful great event that almost took his own life, this child can still focus on absorbing the natural energy, he said, I can't help but praise him’ Ashura smiled warmly at Claude's current condition.
“Well you train quietly here, I'll return to Ashura's” soon and then leave Claude.
After Claude did not feel the aura of Ashura's existence, Claude opened his eyes “Hah .. I. can't ... hold him again” Claude's entire body trembled, breath hunting, breath hunting, the droplets of sweat came out rapidly washing every surface of his skin as well as his heartbeat pounding extremely fast.
Claude instead of not feeling panicked or shaken, Claude just tried to look strong in the eyes of his uncle –, by maintaining his Adrenaline Claude was able to maintain his composure.
Claude is not strong, it's just that Claude does not want to trouble his uncle – uncle only.
It was only after Claude was left alone that Claude released his Adrenaline and this is what happened, Claude lay limp even if Claude was not helped by the Pill from Tanhill then his mental fatigue exceeded when Claude faced off with Poison Stinger.
“It turns out that the Lord of Nature, Angel or Demon, the Goddess God there has not been willing to take my life” Claude muttered softly after being able to stabilize his own breath.
“Well there may still be something I have to do, so my death must be reversed, it's okay I'm so grateful for this opportunity, she said, at least I can adventure longer in this world” in a lying position Claude saw the sparkling stars in the sky, without realizing Claude closed his eyes and then fell asleep.
Claude was too tired with today's events.

After receiving word from Belo, Richard immediately led his own army into the forest, Richard wanting to see for himself the condition of his soldiers, which he had been given, and who knows if there's a clue to which group has targeted it.
Amidst the – on the way Richard got a call from George, George informed that the city's troop of soldiers had been destroyed by a group of Bandits, but from the group the butler along with the young miss is not known whereabouts, but from, George told him all the information he had received from Tanhill.
In the end Richard and George exchanged information and left thanks for Tanhill who had buried his soldiers properly.
Although the latest information was known, Richard continued on his way.
With the red sign of the fire that is still burning aided by an expert Detection Richard quickly arrived at the place of battle, seen the carcass, car wreckage, and, as well as the blaze that burned the bodies of the bandits and the mounds of land that are still new marks from the graves of the soldiers.
Richard was silent ‘I'm sorry for sacrificing you for my personal affairs’ a feeling of guilt arose in Richard's heart.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, the soldiers were also speechless looking at the tomb of their fellow – comrades.
“Oh fellow soldiers from Behemoth City had arrived” amid the silence that night a clear voice sounded from the side of the troops.
“Who are you?!” some of the soldiers had already drawn out their swords while others were on standby.
Then without further ado Ashura explained his identity and what had happened, everything that these troops needed to know Ashura told him, Ashura did not want any misunderstanding between them.
“I Lord Behemoth City, thank you for your help” after knowing the whole story Richard thanked on behalf of all the soldiers.
“Same – equals mr”
Then Richard ordered his troops to search for anything valuable or suspicious around the area.
“Hmm may I know where the corpse of the warrior Coda is, and also the corpse of the man who fought him?”
“Please follow me tuan” Ashura show you the way.
“This is the tomb of Mr. Coda, while for the corpse of the person who had fought him there” Ashura shows the corpse of the Golden Monkey who lost his head not far from the tomb of Coda.
“Atail Wild Beast?” Richard was very confused when he saw that the opponent Coda faced was a Wild Beast, but according to Belo the opponent Coda faced was clearly a human.
“Is it true that this Wild Beast is fighting against Coda?” Richard asked.
“Yes right sir, I have confirmed it myself when burying Mr. Coda's body there are traces of aura and strands of feathers from the Golden Monkey, however there is a thing that I do not understand lord” Ashura spoke a little hesitantly.
“Say”
“When the battle happened I clearly saw two humans go after lord Coda and the others, but when the battle was over I found no trace of them, as for where mister Coda fought I only found the aura of Belo and one other person running in one direction, continued I also found pieces of clothes torn – shreds near the place of the fight”
“What do you mean?” Richard did not understand the meaning of Ashura's words.
“Hmm, this is probably just my guess (mister Tanhill guess as well), could it be that the human was transformed into a Wild Beast?”
“Until now I didn't know any human being could turn into a Wild Beast, but if we turned it over, it was, that a Wild Beast that turned into a human was not impossible” even though Richard himself was reluctant to admit it, but this information came from the old records of his predecessors.
Ashura is no longer surprised to hear that, “Lantas what sets us apart from these Wild Beasts master Richard?”
“I don't know either, the notes I've read don't show how we distinguish between them.” Richard shook his head resignedly.
“Sial!” Ashura cursed “If this is true, aren't these Wild Beasts already living side by side with us, moreover it seems that now they are targeting you right?”
“Ya right”
“Then what would you do now, to whom would you believe if something like this happened?” Ashura is not right – is really frustrated, for those who like to be alone Ashura is not too worried about these disguised Wild Beasts, Ashura just stay trying to get stronger and fight them.
“I don't know, even if I knew I wouldn't talk about it with you” Richard smiled meaningfully.
“Wise thoughts tuan” Ashura praises the thoughts of Sir Ricahrd.
Yes placed in such a position, Richard would no longer trust people in full, including Ashura who despite having helped his soldiers, but Richard himself had only met him today, he said, Richard just trying to act heartily – heart ‘Good my son is not with me’ Richard is grateful in his heart.
“Did you find anything else, like Storage Ring left behind”
“Unfortunately I did not find it, I think the Storage Ring he had was destroyed when the Golden Monkey died, this assumption came from a dust grain near one of his fingers” Ashura told the details of his discovery.
“Ikut destroyed? They were right – properly keep their group a secret” Richard muttered.
“Well and it looks like your task is also growing sir”
“Not a surprise, after all I had expected him.” Richard smiled kindly, Richard did not show any panic about danger in any of his actions.
“How about one more person, what happened to him?”
“I don't know it sir, in the last place the aura just disappeared, I didn't find any more traces of it, the possibility of the person escaping”
“Then what about his battle trail?”
“I did not find out what – sir, so I concluded that the person fled” Ashura made such an assumption after learning that the butler and the young lady survived.
“Oh yes tuan” Ashura arrived – arrive remember Claude's remarks. “I suggest you to pay more attention to the group from Baron Lim, because the last person to pursue it is Wen Qi one of the women who lives in his house”
“What?” Richard was surprised.
“According to Claude, the little boy who helped your son escape, Claude managed to find out the identity of his pursuer who was none other than Wen Qi one of the women from Baron Lim” Ashura house explained where he got the information.
“How sure the child believes that the woman is Wen Qi?” now Richard remembered there was a woman who always accompanied Baron Lim in his residence and the woman was named Wen Qi.
“Well the woman was angry when the boy mocked her as the mistress of a Baron” Ashura smiled awkwardly recounting Claude's earlier remark.
“Hahaha the smart boy” Richard praised Claude's intelligence which uncovers the guise of Wen Qi “Alright I will keep an eye on them, thanks for the information you gave me, also say my regards to the little boy” Richard then return to his side and prepare to return to the city.

“Heh did you already know?” A man sitting in the city whispered to his friend.
“What?”
“I heard that, a group of Goblins are gathering near our city, they are preparing to attack us”
“WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!!!” arrived – arrived his friend shouted and attracted the attention of – people there.
“Ssssttt was silent, I would be beheaded by the city guards if I was caught spreading this news” The man showed an expression of fear.
But unfortunately the man's shout had attracted the attention of other visitors, so these visitors began to approach and ask why he had just shouted.
Then the man told him why he was screaming, when – people asked from whom he knew it, the man then realized that the man who had told him had disappeared.
On that night, things like that had happened repeatedly in various places, bringing a storm of panic towards Behemoth City.
