This unknown beast, from its voice and aura, far surpassed the White-scaled Wild Boar he had encountered before. It was probably the same level as the Mountain Black Bear. If a ferocious beast of this level were to encounter the heavily injured him, the result would be obvious.
"You can leave now." Angele scrunched his eyebrows.
"It looks broken." Angele looked at the ring.
If he didn't say so, he wouldn't be able to explain how he became so much stronger in such a short time. Did he eat the eye of a one-eyed snake and the blue bamboo shoot? How did you find it?
A remaining flying knife and an old emerald ring. The emerald inlaid on it was already full of cracks. There was also a small pouch. That was all that was on Deus.
The potion master guessed that Angele was hit by a powerful warrior's weapon during a fight with the Mountain Black Bear. Luckily, he wasn't injured too badly. That was the first version of the rumor in the castle.
At this moment, the cavalry who were training on the side also seemed to have noticed the situation here. Two of them ran toward Angele.
Angele was injured during a hunt. It was said that they encountered bandits and the legendary Mountain Black Bear.

'I suggest you leave this place within five minutes. The smell of blood will attract the beasts in the forest.' Zero reminded Angele of his current situation. This was the setting. Anything that could threaten Angele's safety would be notified by Zero.
He opened the pouch first. There were several gold coins and some silver coins inside. They were nothing to Angele since he had more than ten gold coins a month. Because of the baron's favor, he had the largest amount of gold coins in the castle besides the baron himself. Ten silver coins could only be exchanged for one gold coin. Silver coins were not attractive to Angele.
The Mountain Black Bear was a close relative of the Mountain Black Bear. It was extremely strong, and it was not as slow as the Mountain Black Bear. Its skin was extremely tough, and it could resist most poisons. It was one of the top beasts in the Rudin Empire. Its battle power was equivalent to the combined power of two to four knights. Also, its battle power would increase after it went berserk.
Angele laid on the bed and grabbed the loot from the nightstand. He placed it on the white blanket.
Cecilia was sitting by the bed. She volunteered to take care of Angele. At this moment, Cecilia was carefully peeling a pear-like fruit.
There were no insignias on the longsword, but the entire blade was as smooth as new. The edge of the blade was abnormally sharp, and one could tell at a glance that it was not an ordinary item. Angele noticed that there was not a single dent on the blade. Even after the intense fight, the blade did not leave a single mark on it.
One had to know that even the Baron had only killed a normal Mountain Black Bear. It could be seen that if Angele really encountered the beast, he would have no chance of surviving.
With a click, the door closed.
In the afternoon, Angele slept in his bedroom. The potion master from the castle came to treat his wounds. After wrapping up all the wounds, he told Angele about the things he needed to pay attention to before leaving with the money.
Cecilia looked at him curiously, her gaze lingering on the ring on his finger.
The rumor spread quickly in the castle.
Angele picked up the items and tied the chains to his claws. He then picked up the crossguard sword and slowly left the place.
Cecilia opened her eyes wide and blinked several times. "Master Wade came by, but he didn't want to disturb you since you were resting. He asked me to tell you to take a good rest. He left after that. Miss Maggie and Miss Celia also came by, "Cecilia said.
The Rio family's silver mine was located on the outskirts of Knight Audis' domain. Knight Audis' domain was in the middle of the Rio family's domain, and the silver mine was located on the edge of the domain. Although it was not far away, it was not easy to get in and out of the mountains.
"Send me back now!"
"By the way, Lord Wade said that the beast you encountered was most likely an adult Raging Mountain Bear. It's even more ferocious than a Black Mountain Bear. It's the king of this forest," Cecilia said in a low voice.
Angele's expression changed. He did not dare to stop for even a second, and he quickly ran back to the castle. The beast's roar came from the place where he fought with Dice. If he had been a little bit slower, he would have died there.
The maids, the servants, and the future knights were all talking about this topic. Angele's left shoulder was deeply wounded. Although he dodged the attack with his speed, a large piece of his flesh was still cut off, revealing his white shoulder bone.
There was a deep wound on Angele's left shoulder. Although he dodged the attack with his speed advantage, a large piece of his flesh was still cut off, revealing his white shoulder bone. A moment ago, Kieran noticed Dyze's intention to retreat. Dyze was ready to throw the chains out, he must have wanted to use the pulling force of the chains to escape as fast as possible. Angele knew that if he did not stop Dice from escaping, he would definitely come back for revenge in the future. Also, the power of Dice's sword was reduced to less than half of its original power. Zero told Angele that he was prepared to take the hit. In the end, Deus was dead. He had won.
Several people escorted Angele back to the castle. The knights stopped their training because of the beast's roar, and they returned to the castle together.
"Roar!" Angele heard the beast roar again. Many birds were startled by the roar, and they started flying everywhere.
What about his swordsmanship? What about his swordsmanship that allowed him to fight against the assassins from the Dark Emblem?
Angele threw the pouch away and looked at the claw. The claw was black, and it was suitable for use at night. He had no idea what kind of paint was used on it. Moreover, its claws were very sharp. Just by placing it on the quilt, it had already cut a hole in it.
Angele walked a few steps.
Both the baron and Wade and Audis would check Angele's swordsmanship from time to time, and they knew exactly how strong Angele was. The day before he fell from the horse, Angele had sparred with his father, the baron. Angele's improvement in such a short time was not something that could be explained by his talent alone. Angele needed a long transition period so that the people in the castle would not feel surprised. That way, the people in the castle would get used to his strength.
Angele held the ring in his hand. Angele was sure that the ring was not something simple, since it was carried by a strong person like Audis.
The ring was made of brass metal, and there were no engravings on it. The surface of the ring was uneven, and the color was dark yellow. It was obvious that the ring had been worn by people for a long time. There was an oval emerald embedded in the middle of the ring. The surface of the emerald was full of cracks.
As soon as he left the forest, Angele bumped into two guards who were standing outside the forest. They seemed to be worried about his safety, so they purposely ran to the edge of the forest to wait for him. Looking at their expressions, they must have heard the wild roars, which was why they were so anxious.
Before Angele could recover from the joy of winning, he heard the notification. His heart sank. He quickly cut off a piece of cloth with his sword and pressed it against the wound on his shoulder. He then walked to Dice and started searching his body.
"Victory … cough cough … you should at least give me a reward, right?" He chuckled. Angele tried his best to calm himself down, and he started searching Dice's body.
Dice could not believe what he had just seen. He didn't believe that a teenager would have the courage to fight him head-on. The sword pierced through Dice's right eye and came out from the back of his head. White blood spurted out of the wound. Angele used all of his strength to attack Dice.
He flicked the blade with his finger.
Dice's body went limp. Supported by two people from the front and one from the back, the three of them quickly left the forest.
The baron went to the silver mine, and it would take him at least four to five days to get back. There were no telephones in this world, and people needed to report the news to the baron. Therefore, the baron did not know that Angele was injured yet.
The last thing he needed was the ring.
It was afternoon. Angele was lying on the bed, and his body was covered with white bandages. He looked like a mummy. The dim sunlight shined through the window, and the whole room was bright.
"Al … Sure." Cecilia was surprised, and she quickly stood up. She put the fruits on the table, bowed to Angele, and left the room.
"Young Master Angele! Oh my god! "They saw Angele running out of the forest with blood all over his body.
A clear and melodious clang rang out.
Angele was relieved, and he started to observe the ring. He had a feeling that the ring was not as simple as it looked.
Angele was breathing heavily.
"Crazy Mountain Bear?" Angele licked his lips. He knew the name because it was recorded in the book in the library.
Angele nodded.
"Who else came after I went to sleep?" Angele asked casually.
"Good material." Angele praised. He decided that this sword would be his exclusive weapon from now on.
A silver crossguard sword, two chains, a throwing knife, a ring, and a leather pouch.
Dice took two steps back, kneeled on the ground, and fell to the ground.
"I was lucky." Angele was a little scared. According to the story he had made up beforehand, he had met someone who was fighting with a bear. A flying sword had slashed his shoulder, and a flying knife had shot out randomly, almost taking his life. He picked up some items from the ground, but he was still severely injured.
Angele had a good rest after he came back, and he felt refreshed when he woke up. The pain from his wounds was much better than before. He asked Cecilia to take down the iron balls from the bedroom and put them in a corner, covering them with a piece of black cloth. Angele wiped the loot clean with a wet towel and placed it on the bedside table.
"I won." Angele chuckled. He took a step back and drew his crossguard sword. The silver emblem of the Thorn Eagle family was stained with blood.
Angele did not dare to stay any longer, and he left the forest as fast as he could. As for Dice's body, he was sure it was killed by the wild beasts. Angele did not even need to deal with the body anymore.
"Roar!" A strong gust of wind came from the forest behind him, and the roar of a wild beast spread across the entire forest.
