Chapter 78: Violet Infernal

Bune was tasked to keep watch about an Overlord beast’s movement. Although it was a suicidal task, he accepted it gladly. Bune was confident to survive from the Overlord beast’s attack, simply because his flame was colored violet, more potent compared to red and blue flame. Only White and Black flame could overpowered it.

Furthermore, Bune has the bloodline of his foreparent, an Ancient rank monster. Bune was talented among the violet infernals, too. With all that reason, even he deluded himself that the Overlord beast should have feared him.

Ironically, he avoided fighting even the Corrupted rank under Herforao, simply not wanting to alarm the latter, even though Herforo was already aware of Bune’s presence. Since Bune did not attack, Herforao let him be. Bune just badly wanted to deny he was terrified of Herforao.

One night, Bune suddenly encountered Kaiju, a low-class human, and observed him from a distance. He even grinned when Kaiju stumbled upon Herforao’s territory and amusedly believed Kaiju was about to receive his retributions for intruding.

However, his imagination was shattered when he saw the Corrupted rank serpent under Herforao excitedly meeting Kaiju and even invited him inside Herforao’s territory. He wanted to follow badly, but his intuition was screaming in danger. He was vexed.

How could a low-class human enter that Overlord’s territory? It even appears that Overlord wants to meet him, too. What is so special about him? Bune spent an hour wracking his brains.

Suddenly, the violet flame dancing atop his head, acting like his hair, exploded forth, seemingly realizing something. Is it because of that white serpent on his shoulder? Why is there a gorilla, too? What was that human? Can he tame beasts? The wisps of violet flame, floating inside his sockets, intensified. Did he perhaps already tame that Overlord? How is that possible? If that is the case, then he is badly dangerous!

He instantly forgot his judgement of Kaiju being a low-class human after landing a terrifying conclusion. He was now conflicted. Should I report this to the leader, or not? After hesitating for another hour, he decided to see and wait. There is no way a mere human can tame an Overlord beast. There might be some other reason.

At the same time, Bune sensed another presence and his innate being screamed in repulsion. Bune turned his head in a particular direction, where light was radiating, and his lips curled in disgust. He tried his best to ignore it since it was acting the same. Is he curious about that human, too?

***

Infernals? Kaiju was alarmed. He instantly recalled about the Infernal he met six months ago and knew they were not the same. The Infernal in front of him was emitting a violet flame, obviously many times stronger. Kaiju heightened his guard as he said, "What is it?"

Bune’s ghastly face turned ugly. He said, "Who are you?" His voice was brimming with arrogance.

He spotted another two serpents, including the serpent who invited Kaiju to Herforao’s territory, and speculated Kaiju must have built a good relationship with Herforao. Since his other task, if possible, was to befriend Herforao and make it their invaluable ally, Bune wanted to extract information from Kaiju’s ways.

Kaiju’s eyebrows furrowed. He was not the same helpless Kaiju anymore, his ego had been built, too. He said, "Isn’t it a courtesy to state your name before asking others?"

"Y-You!!!" Bune’s hair exploded with violet flame, emitting heat, even reaching Kaiju. However, Kaiju has Pain Tolerance, so his face did not change a bit. Bune observed his facial expression and knew Kaiju was not easy to deal with. Since he was the one who needed something from him, he restrained himself, burying the hatred deep in his heart, as he said, "I am Bune, how about you?"

Kaiju was surprised that the arrogant higher races took a step back, but he managed to compose himself and replied, "I am Kaiju. Do you need something?"

Bune stared at Kaiju with an ambiguous expression in silence for a while. His thoughts, however, were running wild. Right? What do I need from him? What do I need to ask? Bune felt conflicted. I have to ask about that Overlord beast!

"The Overlord beast. Do you know him?"

Hiss!

Aqua, Zephyr, and Ember interrupted. They knew, just like any other higher races, that Bune wanted to control their Master–that was what their Master had said, who was not entirely wrong. Who would not want to control an existence more powerful than them? In fact, the higher races already knew that whoever managed to ally Herforao first would be the one to have a higher chance of completing the Trial.

Bune was taken aback by their action and was deeply enraged. To think tp bare their fangs towards me? However, he knew he had to compromise with them, as gaining the trust of an Overlord was a massive boon inside the Trial. He smiled, his face was so awkward, as he said, "I just want to know more about him? Who knows? We can be friends, too."

Kaiju was not an idiot. He already saw through their intentions. In fact, he was not that different from the other higher races and they were right. After all, Kaiju benefited greatly from befriending Herforao, obtaining his treasures. Of course, Kaiju was already content with it; the other higher races might be more greedy.

Kaiju calmed the three serpents and assured them he would take care of the situations onward. He turned to Bune and he was about to say something when his eyes flashed with cold glint. He summoned Bloodthorn and coated it with condensed shadow mana, swiping the dagger without holding back.

Clang!

The dagger surprisingly was not able to cut the light arrow in half, as Kaiju was only able to deflect it. Kaiju analyzed the light arrow and was shaken to perceive it disintegrated into particles of light. That was purely made of Light elements. Light manipulation!

Kaiju had a bad feeling about it.
