Chapter 386: Kairu's Sucking

Everyone was looking at Kairu, Helia and her people too. They did not know what made Kairu get excited all of sudden. Then they realized that was because Kairu managed to grab Elder Giel's ankles.

Elder Giel was also surprised. He lost control of his emotions the moment he saw Tang Shaoyang. He did not realize that his ankles were grabbed by Kairu.

"Oh, you look so happy just to grab my ankles," Elder Giel was still calm and composed even though he was caught by Kairu, "Do you think you can defeat me by grabbing my ankles?"

Tang Shaoyang was still clueless about all of this. But then, Zowen reminded him of something.

—That's Elemental Beast! After a certain evolution, Elemental Beast can morph their body to their element.

After he heard that from Zowen, Tang Shaoyang immediately cast [Basic Detection] on the figure made of fire.

——————————

There was a little gap between the two, no, in fact, Kairu was a few levels lower than the Elemental Beast.

Just as he thought Kairu would be attacked, he noticed something strange. Elder Giel tried to shake off the grips, but he could not.

"Huh!?" Elder Giel let out a surprised gasp, "I can't morph into fire!?" The Elemental Beast let out a surprised voice.

"Hahaha, you can never escape from my grip, you bug!" Kairu was laughing hard, "You love to play with fire, right?"

"Release me!" Elder Giel punched Kairu in the face, but the Flaming Lion was merely laughing even though he was punched by Elder Giel. Elemental Beast might have powerful elemental magic, but they were weak physically.

The punch only hurt the Flaming Lion a little, "That's right, Panic! Nervous! Fear! I love to see that from you," the Flaming Lion let out maniacal laughter.

"What if I take your fire then!? I want to see the face behind the fire!" Even though Elder Giel punched him repeatedly, Kairu did not let go of the grip. He was holding Elder Giel tightly in the ankle.

While it looked like a kid brawl on the surface where one kid beat another kid, Tang Shaoyang noticed something. He saw Kairu was absorbing the fire. Yep, he did see it right, Elder Giel's fire was being absorbed by Kairu through his palm.

—Even though Giel is a few levels higher, Kairu is still far stronger than the Elemental Beast. This is the gap between the races!

Zaneos expressed his thoughts as they watched Elder Giel frantically try to break free from the grips.

Giel was a few levels higher and they were in the same stage of evolution. Giel was supposed to hold an advantage against Kairu.

Soon Elder Giel realized something. He realized that his fire was being absorbed by Kairu, "This… This… This…" he stopped punching Kairu. He was stunned to realize that his power was being absorbed by the opposite party.

"What are you doing? WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Elder Giel screamed to the top of his lungs, "How is this possible!?"

"Arghhh!!!" Elder Giel screamed as fire exploded from his body. He was desperate, he wanted to escape from Kairu. He had lost his will to fight upon realizing the enemy could absorb his fire.

The Elemental Beast was at the end of his wits and tried to overwhelm Kairu with his fire. Alas, the fire did not work on Kairu.

"Struggle! Scream! I will suck everything from you! This is the price to step on this Kairu's head! Hahaha…" the maniacal laughter and the scream echoed together.

Swoosh!

A wave of fire waved toward Tang Shaoyang. He immediately cast his triple defensive skills, [Flame Shield], [Mana Shroud], and [Dragon Scale]. Despite the fire, Tang Shaoyang was fine.

The raging fire lasted for five minutes before the fire slowly dispersed and died down. As the fire disappeared, Elder Giel vanished along with the fire.

Kairu was laying down alone on the ground as the Elemental Beast was nowhere to be seen. However, he noticed a bright red rock on top of Kairu's chest. The rock was like a red crystal, shiny and beautiful.

He also noticed the red rock released steam of heat, meaning the rock was hot, 'Does the Elemental Beast manage to escape?' He immediately shook his head. Spirit Eyes were open all the time, he did not see the Elemental Beast ran away.

—The Elemental Beast should be dead by now. It's the same by swallowing it alive, Kairu is swallowing the Elemental Beast. If I am not wrong, the thing in Kairu's hand is the Elemental Beast's core. You can absorb the core to increase your Magic Power or you can give it to your woman, Liang Suyin.

Zowen was more knowledgeable in this field. She was someone who attained Magus rank, it was not something one could reach by increasing Magic Power.

"Liang Suyin? But why? Doesn't Kairu need that core as well?" Tang Shaoyang was against the idea of taking his subordinate's possession even though they were his subject.

Kairu fought the Elemental Beast, risking his life in the process. Kairu deserved the core more than he and Liang Suyin.

—The core is useless for Kairu, duh! Not everyone could absorb the Magic Power inside the Elemental Core. You are an exception, your Divine Body should be able to handle the Magic Power inside the Elemental Core. Liang Suyin is an Elementalist, she should be able to attain something from the Elemental Core. Then only another Elemental Beast could use the Elemental Core, so the core is useless in Kairu's hand.

Zowen explained thoroughly. Just as she said, the Elemental Core was useless to Kairu hence she suggested for him to take it.

—If you feel bad, then you can exchange something for that core. And one more thing, the core is actually very useful to make magical equipment.

'Hmmm, can we produce this Elemental Core, then?' He was thinking far off. He was thinking about the smithy and the blacksmith of his empire. If the empire could get a stable supply of the Elemental Core, he did not worry about the materials.

—Of course, you can. Just breed the Elemental Beast and slaughter them when they reach adulthood. Then you can obtain a stable supply for the Elemental Core.

Zowen answered quickly.

Tang Shaoyang's eyes brightened up, it was not a bad idea. He did not feel bad for the Elemental Beast. Just like chicken, people got to eat chicken because there was a company that bred the chicken to supply the demand.

'Then we should capture these Bombyx Mori Tribe alive,'

"My Lord, what are you thinking about?" Kairu's voice interrupted his thoughts about the Elemental Beast's breeding.

"Nothing," Tang Shaoyang shook his head and looked around. He tried to locate Pride, but he could not find the Demonic Ape even among the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe, "Where's Pride?"

"That guy hates the heat, he must stay away from here to avoid my fire. However, the Bombyx Mori Tribe army is chasing after him, we should help him!"
