Chapter 696: Elytrion, A Forest Soul

“Please! Don’t...hurt...me!” the strange creature struggled to say, but Zeras’ hold never for once relaxed as he slowly crushed apart the neck bones, halting once the creature’s life was about to completely slip away.

“I told you it wouldn’t be funny once I got my hands on you. You’ve had your fun playing your stupid games on me, and now I’m having mine...” Zeras said as he tightened once more, causing the creature to hold on tightly to his hand with a begging expression.

“Please...spare me...”

“Oh, you want me to spare you?” Zeras asked as he stopped his squeezing before releasing his hands, causing the creature to fall down on both knees, its body slipping down the tree and roughly smashing against the ground.

COUGH

COUGH

COUGH

The sound of coughing could be heard as Elyion coughed out his lungs, its chest furiously pumping blood around his body and into his neck.

THUMP

The ground before it gave way as its supposed fun prey landed before it crouched, its cold eyes scanning him up and down.

He had felt as the boy and the girl entered through its territory, but it had refrained from attacking them as he got quite the goosebumps from the male. But who would have thought the young man would dare to return back to its territory? That had deeply infuriated it, and it had decided to play the young man to his death.

He had sent all of his soldiers to him but had watched with wide-open mouth as all of his soldiers had their hearts and brains snatched away by the young man.

“Good, good. Then tell me something none but you know about the mountain,” Zeras asked as Elyion’s eyes furrowed, staring at Zeras.

“Tell me something interesting about the mountain up ahead. If it’s not interesting enough for me, then you’re as good as dead. You understand what I mean, right?” Zeras said as he slapped the creature’s long hair around, and Elyion could only swallow as its brain browsed everything it knew about the mountain and he quickly found the most interesting one.

“Ok, there is something nobody except for me knows about the mountain,” Elyion said as he looked in fear around the forest area before looking at Zeras in slight fear.

“Oh, and what is that?” Zeras asked curiously.

“The mountain, that seemingly endless plain that you see,” Elyion said as Zeras nodded.

“It is alive!” Elyion said as Zeras looked at him for a while before chuckling, and quickly it expanded into a full-blown laughter.

“You, you’re so smart! I wanted something so interesting and you simply told me a pile of rocks is alive. Just how cunning is that brain of yours?”

“I’m not joking. The mountain is alive!” Elyion pressed on as Zeras’ laugh receded, sensing the seriousness in the creature’s tone.

“And how do you know that?” he asked.

“I do because I have tried to cross the mountain too once. Ever since I could open my eyes, all I knew were these boring leaves of the tree. I needed a new vision, so I decided to move out of the forest.

Going out, I saw the mountain up ahead and excitedly, I climbed up it and began my journey.

But one night! One night, I saw a horrific scene!”
