Episode 4 {Regroup}

Phoenix was still shocked seeing after all for him his status window is just well what's the words his trying to find without being rude to himself of his own system it's just so boring not just this guy level don't even show like it doesn't say a single word about level or rank. But being a class and having 12th cycle it means that his a truly a top Hunter. Where hunters, magic users, and master cycles are also called Zeiu Cycle which are types of abilities, they are different levels of Zeiu abilities the higher one is the the stronger one ability is. Zeiu are core monsters those are the monster core that one has killed each core is viewed in a different from low grade rank to high rank, a 12th Zeiu Cycle means that, Kingston Yong was able to fight those same creatures alone 12 times but not just he gained abilities from them it's just so amazing to think about it!

“Ahhhhh!”

Bright light flooded the Phoenix view from below, and he tried to turn his head. However, something held him from behind, and his body couldn’t move a single inch. The intense light enveloped his vision and body, and, in a moment, he was spat out into a different location. Phoenix couldn’t properly see what was in front of him until the light’s shine no longer stung his eyes. When his vision settled, Raymond, holding his lamp with an ambiguous expression on his face, stood before him. Phoenix was frozen in place his eyes shined brightly as if he could kill anything at the moment this guy is nothing but a traitor! Damn it what is holding him back from attacking!? But also this is the last person Phoenix would want to meet not at all he must ask Nick more about this Raymond but Phoenix had almost jumped in fear, but someone had caged his back to his front with unyielding strength and quickly blocked his screams.

"Wasn't there something just now?"

A woman sighed.

"Raymond they is nothing here I still don't understand why we came back here we killed them."

"Yes but I still don't understand what that old woman meant when she said I foresee a future where trouble will come and a young man who is looked down will be the most feared person in the world what did she mean by that?" Raymond mattered as he threw his sword on the ground and he killed the rat his ice blue eyes stared at the woman who shook her head.

"I am not sure either but what I do know is we don't have to worry about it right now."

Both didn't say a single word but checked every corner but they didn't find anything. Phoenix tried to move his arms but he couldn't move them so he just leaned against the wall for who knows how long the moment Raymond and the woman beside him left Phoenix was so happy. As soon as the arms around him lost strength, I rushed to escape and look at the person behind him.

And….there stood a stranger–a man–who I had never seen before.

He had a tall stature, covered in a neat, standard combat uniform. His forehead was hidden by calm black hair, and, underneath his bangs, striking greenish, bluish, grayish eyes stared at him….He was probably the most handsome man that Phoenix has ever seen beside himself of course he has both beauty and handsomeness no one can defeat him in that class but still for him to say that they is someone who is truly handsome it's something rare to hear or even think about!

Who the hell is this man?

Phoenix held out his hand blocking anything that came near him humph whoever this person is he must not be a good person. Phoenix wasn't a type of person who liked being touched he was a person who viewed cleanliness above anything else so for him being touched by this strange he truly felt disgusted because he didn't know what this mysterious man has been doing and dungeons are truly known to have dead things they is a reason why his wearing gloves right now!

“I….Who are you?” Phoenix asked, warily.

It was better to be vigilant than to be careless.

The man’s lips twisted peculiarly as he heard Phoenix question.

“Who do you think I am?”

“What? Oh! This voice….”

No way….. Kingston Yong?

“W-what happened?” Phoenix retreated, scanning him in disbelief. He was just too different from his skeletal image in that strange spatial distortion.
Not just that in the memories he was also different but what is going on it's best not try to pray into too much of the problem but still how can he be alive did't he die or something like that?

Kingston Yong glanced over at Phoenix's body when he saw Phoenix's suspicious gaze. His eyes dared to ask:

‘What’s wrong,’ as if this change was normal.

Eventually Phoenix pointed his finger at him.

“You were a skeleton just before! But suddenly your face and body….”

“This is how I originally looked, though?”

“……Huh?”

“Stop saying foolish things, and come a bit closer.”

Phoenix was a bit furious at being called foolish. However, when he shook his left hand and gestured to Phoenix hand, he saw the symbol of the binding contract.

No way…. He’s really Kingston Yong?

Phoenix turned around did he really make a deal with the devil system can't we go back and change everything

System Milo: Host don't be such a dumb ass if you can do that do you think I would be here right now be lucky

Mother fucker! This system knows how to just put it out there it doesn't matter if System Milo is useless anyway.

Phoenix didn't make a move he wasn't a type of person became friends with stranger he turned around it's best to fake like he didn't create a contract with this powerful mysterious man let's just move along. As Phoenix started to walk forward Kingston Yong grabbed Phoenix hand and he was pulled backwards Phoenix turned his head and he pulled his hand away as he took a deep breath.

They were now nose to nose to each other both just stood there staring at each other Phoenix wasn't a type of person who put himself out there to other people he came off as a cold person because he didn't bother wanting to know anyone he didn't know why but he was kind and has always been willing to help when you get to know him you see a different side of him but this moment he was just showing off his coldness toward Kingston Yong.

No way, was his body recreated through the contract….?

“Don’t grope so much…”

“G-grope ?!” Phoenix's innocent curiosity was stopped in its tracks by Kingston Yong, who began to criticize me with a sour expression.

“Even if I’m your summoner, I’ll be in a predicament if you ask that kind of service from me….”

“W-what are you even saying!” Phoenix face flushed, and I threw his hands aside, as if they were rubbish.

"What many wish to sleep with me whether they are a man or woman speaking of wishes for a guy you are so beautiful and handsome are sure you aren't a woman you would such a beautiful woman."

Phoenix slapped his hand away as he crossed his arm.

"I am fine by the way and second I am into both woman or man so it doesn't matter what I like third you aren't my type humph fourth, I have dated many people both man and woman and I must say why would I grope you when I have peopled lined up to have sex with me?" Phoenix asked as he turned around he didn't want to talk about this but it was the truth he was famous and he had the looks so anyone would want to date him.

Kingston Yong sighed but he didn't say anything else or tease Phoenix.

"We need to go they is something here I want to check out," Kingston Yong said.
blank and confused face prompted further information. He spread his right palm up and, on top, a vaguely diamond shaped black wedge floated out. A hologram reproduction.

“You’ve seen this, right?”

“Um…? Yes!”

I’m sure I saw it when I first fell here…maybe Kingston Yong's corpse….? That’s the same thing that was stuck in his back?

When Kingston Yong heard Phoenix mumbling, he informed him of the diamond shaped wedge’s name. “It’s called the ‘Essence of the Viogiol Ghost.”

“The essence of a Viogiol ghost…?”

“There’s probably about fifty-two of these in the Dungeon…I need your help to find them.”

Phoenix looked at him puzzled wait a moment does he mean he wants to regroup all his dead friends this guy is crazy it's beside him to run away. Kingston Yong grabbed on Phoenix's shoulders.

"You will help get all these fifty-two Viogiol Ghost Crystals alright?"

Phoenix cursed at himself as he kicked at the stone and he nodded his head and he pushed Kingston Yong's hand away. Kingston Yong found this guy strange he seems like a person who likes being free who does as he please and has fun but at the same time he has everything guarded like he just can't trust anyone that comes near him.
