The Absolute beast Tamer

Chapter 47 TRIAL TO SURVIVE

Alan: "Huh, huh, huh, huh!"

Barely conscious, Alan raised his head as he looked at this little girl in the eyes with a smile on his face.

Alan: "So this is your thing; you like to torture them before you kill them."

(???????): "You have a strong will and a strong soul; it's a waste to have such a will for an insect."

Alan: "Indeed, I may be an insect in front of you, but still, huh, huh, I won't give you the satisfaction that you are looking for."

(???????): "Interesting. How about this? I will give you a chance to get out of here alive with everyone in your group."

Alan: "I am not a fan of a mental play."

(??????): "I don't bend my words especially for an insect like you, so how about it? I'll give you a small trial. If you clear it, you can get out of here alive; in fact, I will even reward you. After all, an insect that worked hard should be given some reward.

Alan: "I guess you have been bored for a long time. I will die anyway, so I might as well play your game."

(???????): "Then let's see how firm your will is. But you have to know that the moment you fail, I will kill your female companion and your slave beasts right in front of your eyes, before I slowly torture your soul. Either way, it will serve as a good entertainment for a while."

Alan: "You're talking as if I have a choice, so let's cut the crap and be done with it."

(??????): "What a foulmouth insect you are"

The small girl put her little hand on Alan's forehead, in the blink of an eye Alan found himself standing on a small rock platform surrounded by magma, The temperature around him spiked almost suffocating him.

When he looked up, he saw a huge opening like the mouth of a volcano.

Alan: "Huh, huh, you have got to be kidding me! Where the hell am I?"

(??????): "Your trial is to climb these molten rocks and get out of this volcano, which, by the way, is on the verge of eruption. Be careful not to die because there are no other chances for you."

Alan: "Didn't you say that you will save me for the last, f***?"

Looking at the mouth of the volcano that looked so close yet was so far, Alan decided to play along, as it was his only choice; after all, he was powerless against a remnant of such a colossal existence.

He tried to take a deep breath to calm himself only to feel the burning sensation inside his lungs.

Alan: "Cough, cough, cough. Even breathing is laborious."

Looking at the wall next to him He decided to climb and follow that little girl's instruction if he managed to reach the mouth of the volcano before the eruption. Then he had a slim hope of survival.

The moment he put his hand on the rock wall behind him, he felt a scalding sensation burning his skin as he grimaced from the pain.

Biting his lips, as he started climbing this scalding wall, after a while he looked down only to find that the small rock platform that he was standing on disappeared completely, submerged under the lava.

.....

Red eyes full of power and wisdom watched Alan struggle in his climbing.

(??????): "For a mortal, he's doing so good."

As time went by and he never came back, the red eyes widened in shock as they watched this young man suffering from the burns destroying his skin and limbs, breathing the fire but continuing to climb.

(??????): "Such a will and such a strong soul are almost unheard of, and they reside inside the body of such a weak creature, defying all logic."

When Alan was about to give up, almost falling into the boiling lava, the red eyes watched as if it was anticipating this moment.

(???????): "He did much better than I ever dreamed he would; I guess I will end the trial and reward him."

But that was the moment when everything went against what the red ancient eyes expected.

As if he came back from the dead, Alan, who started chanting the ancient chant and climbing again, changed the environment around him from a boiling, fully ready-to-erupt volcano to a holy place of peace and still truth.

He found the truth through the false, under the watch of the red ancient eyes, as if he was breaking an illusion; he reached his goal, completely defying the laws placed by the red eyes.

(??????): "I ...I was affected by the chant unbelievable. What kind of a creature had fallen into my hand? Finally, my chance had come.

.....

(??????): "Only a minute has passed, yet for you, so much time did, but also didn't."

Alan: "a minute... all of that in a minute. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"

As if broken he laughed and laughed.

(??????): "Has your mind become broken?"

Alan: "Oh no, it just opened the door to a new understanding for me. What am I but a time, a place, and an individual? I guess a story to be told.

Ah, so what now, senior? Do we survive with your grace?"

(??????): "My word shall not be broken; you will get your reward, and you will keep your lives and get out of here."

Alan: "We are grateful for senior Mercy."

Alan looked at the girl in front of him with sincere eyes, but behind them was that reflection of pure rage that was caged by chains of bloodlust that desired nothing more than to destroy the very soul of the little girl.

(??????): "you became much better hiding your emotions, little sapling does holding so much killing intent on an already dead entity holds any benefits for you hahahahahahaha"

Alan: "If I could, I would definitely help the senior resurrect in the future, and then I would gladly take that soul and shred it to pieces."

The little girl fell silent as she looked at the crazed smile on this little boy's face.
