123 Chapter 123: The pendant’s doing

“Did I just hear this guy speak our language? How is that possible?” One of the beasts said in the bee language.

“If he’s able to speak our language then it must mean that he’s our long-awaited speaker.” Another beast said.

“I doubt it, he looks too good to me. I doubt our Speaker would be someone as cool as him. Come on, we need someone cruel and wicked to take back our role in the beast world, this guy is too cool to do something like that.”

But then, Kevin who had been listening to their conversation had suddenly butted in. “What do you mean I’m cool? I may look cool on the outside but I’m not in the inner mind.” Kevin said and had for once forgotten that he was speaking the elf language and Max could hear him clearly.

“We’ll see to that once I give you a piece of your cake.” Max grinned while Kevin rolled his eyes before facing the bees that had been summoned by Max to fight him.

The three beasts were trying their best not to hurt Kevin until they get what they want from him; that is an explanation of how he got the ability to be able to speak their languages.

“Who are you?” One of them said in a challenging tone as they circled Kevin.

‘Kevin, you are their speaker, you need to sound like their master.’ The A1 system said.

“Who taught you how to speak our language?” Another asked.

.....

“Stop!”

Clenching his fist tightly, Kevin suddenly shouted in the Bee language which sounds like ‘huh’ to Max and all the other elves.

Immediately, the three bees stood still. It was like there was some kind of force in his tone. Their bodies acted on their own and they couldn’t seem to control their body.

When Kevin used his Leak skill on Max, he saw that his summoning magic was limited to only two beasts per day. So once he summons the first beast, a bee-like creature, and summons a different type of beast, he won’t be able to summon any different type of beast again.

He would be stuck to summoning the two same beasts all over and over again.

That was when Kevin thought of a plan to get rid of Max. If he’s successfully able to control the two different beasts Max would be summoned, he would make them fight Max and he would be forced to cancel his summoning skill. That way, he won’t be able to summon any different beasts apart from the ones he had summoned earlier, who is now under Kevin’s control.

Although he knew controlling the second beast would be difficult since he could only be a speaker to one type of beast.

“I am your speaker, I command you to defend me from this moment,” Kevin said. He didn’t know what came over him. He just felt superior all of a sudden. While the bees felt inferior to Kevin.

“What’s happening?” One of the beasts said as it felt itself bowing down to Kevin. The same could be said for the other two beasts.

“He must be our speaker for real. I’ve never felt this way before.”

Although no one could hear them talking, Kevin could hear them talking wide and clear.

“Of course, I’m your speaker, now get up and defend me from that stupid Max over there,” Kevin ordered.

“Yes, Master!”

The same feeling came over the beasts again and they were forced to act against their will.

“EXPANSANTE CURIKULUM,” Kevin said, which means go now, and the three beasts immediately turned to face Max.

Within a few seconds, the beasts started heading toward Max with full force.

Everyone was wondering what was happening, first was the beast bowing to Kevin, Now the beast was about to attack Max the one who summoned them. The story is so not clear.

The two commentators had started with their commentating on the match and as usual, the two ladies were talking about who would win the match.

“What is wrong, I summoned you, so you should obey me,” Max said but then he remembered that some beasts tend to fight their summoner anytime they wish.

One of the beasts was on top of him, ready to sting him with its poisonous fangs but before the beast could do anything, Max canceled the summoning skill.

Just as soon as the bees disappeared, a different type of beast appeared, standing beside Max. It was a big ant-like creature with six arms but was able to stand on its two feet.

A small grin appeared on Max’s face as he stood beside the Ant-like beast.

That was the only thing he could do to stop himself from being hurt by the beasts. The alternative is to summon a different type of beast since the first ones are not doing as he wishes.

Kevin hold the pendant once again, hoping to talk to the beast as he did to the previous ones. He would have summoned the bees to defend him but Max would know and it will seem like cheating if an issue arises.

So Kevin planned on making Max’s beasts go against him. He looked directly into the eyes of the Ant-like beast, the whisper came as usual and Kevin said after the voice.

“Selim.” Which means bow.

The beast stared back at him but the moment it heard the words from Kevin’s mouth, it fell on his two feet.

“Grandeuri Milorrd.” The Beast said, which was translated to Kevin as; The Speaker has appeared.

This was more than a surprise to Kevin. He couldn’t explain how this was possible.

According to the story he heard from the system, only one person can be a speaker of one beast race. It was a surprise how he became a speaker to two beast races. Was it the pendant’s doing?

‘That’s the only conclusion I could make. I think the pendant’s power is the ability to make the user speak different languages.’ The system said.

‘Is that why the Queen said it’s so important? Perhaps I should ask her. There’s no doubt, she would know something about the pendant.’ Kevin said.

‘That’s a great idea, Kevin.’

‘Now I need to end this fight as soon as possible.’ Kevin said as he approached Max all of a sudden and sent shockwaves into his body. He became paralyzed for a few seconds and before he could wake up, Kevin commanded the ant-like beast to disappear and it immediately did.

Since two was the total amount of beasts Max could summon, and both beasts were now under Kevin’s control, there was nothing else he could do but fight with his fist. And Kevin was sure he could defeat Max with just a few punches mixed with lightning.
