This terrifying aura was different from the one that disappeared in a flash.
It was slightly longer than the previous one. Even though it was less than 2 seconds, it was enough for Kieran to accurately determine where the aura came from.
However, Kieran didn't move at all.
The trembling under his feet hadn't stopped.
In fact, the earthquake had just started.
Even Kieran couldn't do anything against the wrath of nature.
All he could do was wait.
At the same time, Kieran's attention was locked on the man's back.
There were too many suspicious points about the man.
To the point that Kieran instinctively thought the man was up to no good.
As for the man?
He was standing leisurely in the pavilion, quietly looking at the lake.
Ripples appeared on the surface of the lake before it turned murky due to the earthquake. The man who was watching the lake frowned.
"Huh?"
A slightly displeased voice sounded.
The man didn't make any real moves, the only thing he did was express his dissatisfaction with his voice.
But when the voice sounded …
The earthquake stopped abruptly.
Kieran clearly felt the energy beneath his feet suddenly stop rising up and down. Then, during the process of calming down, the energy that could turn heaven and earth upside down was forcefully suppressed the moment it rose up.
Or, to be more precise: disappeared.
It was as if it never existed.
What kind of power was this?!
Kieran squinted his eyes, [Arrogant Word] appearing in his hand. His muscles tightened like a spring, like a leopard ready to pounce at any moment. He looked at the man as if he was facing his greatest enemy.
Kieran even felt a rare sense of nervousness in his heart.
Kieran was shocked by the power that the man had displayed.
To be able to resist a natural disaster …
Nikorei, the God of Earth, had such a record.
But it was just a record!
Kieran read about it in books, but it was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.
Kieran's mind was spinning fast.
He was thinking about what kind of method the man would use if he made a move. How should he attack, defend, and finally … retreat?
Kieran wasn't a stubborn person.
He admired those who fought even though they knew they were no match for them.
But that didn't stop him from retreating.
He knew very well that he was not the kind of person who would sacrifice himself bravely.
Those people all had a lofty title: Heroes.
As for him?
Just a mortal.
"You have enmity towards me … As expected, you misunderstood me from before, right?"
With his back facing Kieran, the skinny man said slowly.
His tone was as calm as before, and his words were as direct as ever.
Kieran did not reply.
Because in his heart, he did not think that it was a misunderstanding.
"I'm pleasantly surprised by your appearance. I think we can have a good talk, but some people can't wait …"
"Me too!"
"Do it according to your idea. Whether it's good or bad, I'll give you a reward. Of course, you'll have to pay the deposit first!"
The other party's words were confusing.
However, as he spoke, he turned around.
It was a common face. If it wasn't for the astounding mansion and the unimaginable power he displayed just now, he would be nothing but a passerby.
The only thing special about him was his young age.
The other party seemed to be around the same age as Kieran, around 16 to 17 years old.
His temperament was a little similar as well, both of them looked young but had a mature temperament.
More coincidentally, both Kieran and the other party's eyes were …
Black.
If it wasn't for the huge difference between Kieran's and the other party's faces, he would be looking into a mirror.
The other party saw Kieran's astonished expression but he laughed softly and raised his hand.
The Pawn Fire Raven egg that Kieran kept in his hood flew into the other party's hand along with the raven nest. [Crimson Ghost Stomach] couldn't really hold living things, not even eggs.
Before Kieran could react, the other party had grabbed the raven nest. A blurry white mist came out from the other party's hand and went into the raven nest's egg.
Then, the raven nest flew towards Kieran.
Kieran caught the raven nest with his hand but his eyes were looking at the other party with even more vigilance.
Even though he was very close, he couldn't feel the power within the white mist. If he didn't see it with his own eyes, he might even think it didn't exist.
What terrifying power!
After such a comment came up in his heart, Kieran thought no matter how careful he was, it wouldn't be wrong to be vigilant.
However, the other party didn't seem to notice Kieran's vigilance.
"I wanted to explain it to you myself but now, you have to investigate it yourself …"
The voice was still clear but the figure became blurry.
When the last few words came out, the other party had already vanished without a trace.
The wind blew through the pavilion softly.
Kieran suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Only then did he realize that his back was already drenched in cold sweat.
"It's too far away!"
Kieran said in his heart.
Then, some of the deductions that appeared at the beginning began to waver.
After all, with the other party's strength, if the other party wanted to deal with Kieran, he wouldn't even need to resort to such petty tricks, all he had to do was crush Kieran with his own strength.
Kieran believed with the strength that the other party displayed, it would be too easy for the other party to achieve such a feat.
"But the other party didn't do so?
Could it be … "
While Kieran was guessing, the raven nest in front of him started to rumble.
Kak, Kak Kak!
The raven egg started to protrude.
Soon, cracks began to appear on the surface.
When a light red sharp beak appeared from the middle of the pattern, the egg broke open. A bald and ugly Fire Raven Soldier hatched out.
"Saved me some incubation time … So this is the deposit?"
However, the moment the words faded, the Pawn Fire Raven, which was smaller than a chick, started to grow rapidly.
Its bald body started to grow thin feathers and soon, the feathers were replaced by crow feathers. The feathers turned from narrow to long and plump.
Its body grew bigger like a balloon.
It grew from the size of a finger to the size of a palm and finally the size of a forearm.

After a clear and loud caw, the Pawn Fire Raven swiftly swallowed the egg in the raven nest and jumped up to Kieran's left shoulder, rubbing its black head against Kieran's cheek.
