Capítulo 23: Beheading chickens
Zick still had a smile on his face but internally he was surprised at this situation. He was already aware that he would meet some of the characters from the novel but he didn't expect to see such an important character appear before even entering the party hall.
In the novel,
Jerel Westrick was in the peak of the master swordsman stage, he was one of the supportive characters who fought against the demonic race till the very end.
When the demonic race started invading both the first and second continent in earnest. On the battlefield, Jerel might be one of the people who killed demons the most. It was more of a one sided slaughter than a war.
Jerel would send hundreds of demon heads flying with a single swing of his sword.
And right at the moment, a person who could cut off hundreds of demon heads like beheading chickens was smiling like a good neighbourhood old man.
"so? What's your name, young man?"
Jerel asked Zick with a harmless smile.
He actually was really interested in this kid in front of him. As a master swordsman he could feel that there weren't any impurities in Zick's mana. Which showed that he hasn't used any drugs to reach this rank.
'He even seemed to have made some progress in middle rank...the talents from the temple are nothing compared to him'
Though Jerel looked like a weak old man, he could destroy the whole Garcia estate if he wanted to.
There was another thing which made him very interested in who Zick was.
'that cat walking besides him is a mythical beast....and a very strong one at that'
Jerel wasn't confident in winning against it even if he puts his life on the line.
Zick knew about the strength of the cat more than anyone else. It might even be one of the strongest beings in the world.
In the end of the novel where all the forces came together to fight the demonic race, the cat mythical beast also joined the battles after the Garcia family was destroyed.
The cat mythical beast has totally 9 lives, in other words for killing it you will be needing to kill it for 9 times.
Jerel felt that even killing it once was hard for him, Which showed its strength.
Zick knew of the terror what this cat was able to bring more than anyone else. The generals of the demon army fell into despair just with one clash with this cat.
The cat mythical beast specialised in using dark magic.
While on the battlefield, the cat grew in size and almost became comparable to a mountain. Unlike its appearance now, it grew sharp teeth and looked more like a wolf .
Summoning thousands of dark spears floating in the air, it looked down upon the demon army as if looking at ants. It had made a whole battalion of demon race turn into minced meat in just one minute.
Being in front of these two monsters made Zick feel really helpless. Still he answered Jerel's question with a smile not showing any of his helplessness.
"My name is Zick Melvix"
As Jerel is a Bishop of the sun god church Zick didn't need to pay him any respect but still Zick greeted him with respect more than the second prince Aureo.
"ohh! so you are from the Melvix family, really they have gotten a talented heir"
Jerel felt that it was a let down that he could not recruit such a talent into the sun god temple.
Though the sun god temple holds a lot of power in the Cravion kingdom, the Cravion kingdom and sun god have been in an agreement for a long time.
The sun god temple cannot interfere in the matter of the nobles or royalty without any reason accompanying it.
If Jerel recruited Zick now, it would be like openly picking a fight with the Melvix family. The melvix family was also the strongest force when it came to the military, picking a fight with them would just damage the sun god temple.
'I am sure the Melvix family values this kid a lot....'
Letting the matter of recruiting him go, Jerel spoke to Zick again.
"Haha let's enter the party hall first, this is no place for talking"
Jerel started leading Zick to the party hall.
In the entrance a soldier stood with full plate armour, bowing towards the both of them, he asked respectfully.
"What might your name be sir?"
"Jerel westrick"
"Zick Melvix"
Both Zick and Jerel answered at the same time without hesitation.
The soldier's face grew stiff hearing both of their names. Nodding his head, the soldier headed inside and told a man with glasses something.
When Zick saw this, he had an urge to stop the soldier and the man with glasses from whatever they were going to do.
"Wait..."
"The Bishop of the sun god temple, Jerel westrick and the heir of the Melvix family, Zick Melvix have entered!"
The man with glasses imbued mana into his word, All the people in the party hall heard this and looked towards them.
People murmuring started spreading all over the hall. Looking at them, Zick still had a smile on his face but internally he blamed himself for his carelessness.
'I should have thought of the possibility of this happening'
Even though this was his first time attending a party, he still couldn't help but blame himself.
"haha I will be going then enjoy your time here"
Saying this, Jerel started heading towards a group of people who were still talking to each other.
Zick looked around the hall for a second and then headed towards the place which he found the most empty. Sitting on the white chair, he could hear the voice of the man with glasses announce someone else's arrival.
"The third son of the Velscar family, Denis Velscar and the daughter of the Velscar family, Searre Velscar have entered!"
Hearing the names, Zick looked towards the entrance.
There stood one 12 year old boy and a 10 year old girl, both of them had blue hair with sharp golden eyes.
'Searre...'
Zick remembers the name vividly in his head as.....she is one of the protagonist's harem members and a future master swordsman.
Zick didn't like this young girl named Searre at all in the novel, she was someone who had a strong sense of justice which got in the way of the protagonist almost everywhere.
Because of this reason Zick hates her, he doesn't want to have anything to do with her at all unless necessary.
"meow~''
The cat had climbed up Zick's lap and was watching his face.
Because for a second Zick's face went out of order, even though there was a smile on his face his eyes became blank for a second and returned to normal.
Looking at the direction Zick was looking at, The cat spoke to him.
" Do you know her?"
"No....."
