Chapter 69 Monster’s Appearing

The next morning Lucas woke up alone in his room, "I guess this is what I should've expected it." He whispered loudly seeing no one with him.

The boy was given a different place to stay.

He dressed up and left his chambers to meet Haya.

He knocked on his door but there was no response then Lucas decided to walk down to the kitchen where he saw that servants were already awake and preparing breakfast, 'weird, I saw only one butler yesterday,' Lucas folded and released his fist.

They bowed their heads when they saw him which made Lucas feel guilty for not saying anything then he decided to man up.

"Good morning." He said as he walked into the kitchen.

"Good morning Sir," they replied in unison.

"What are you guys doing here so early?" Lucas leaned his head to the side, 'judging by the way they all speak, all of them are unlocked and free from the system's mind control.' He let a quick sigh and then lifted the corners of his lips.

One of them replied, "we're preparing your breakfast since we know it's your favourite."

Lucas stepped back, and immediate shivers went through his body, 'how would they know my favourite dish?' His eyes widened.

-Relax, it's not your favourite dish they're making, but mine.-

Izek spoke out of nowhere.

'Why are you talking? Who invited you here?' Lucas asked Izek in his mind.

-I don't need to be invited, I live inside of you, you moron!-

Izek rose his tone as he replied to Lucas's statements.

One thing that was also pissing off Izek was to even being related to that child. When he was his age, he wasn't as naive as Lucas was when he got here, and seeing him grow some balls, he kinda started to like him more.

*Booom!*

A loud noise appeared outside.

Lucas turned around quickly, hoping that it was nothing but his imagination. But as he came closer to the door, he could see someone standing there. There were four guards at the door, all with their swords drawn.

"What is happening?" Asked Lucas.

One man replied, "a monster attacked the castle!" His tone was high, he sounded in shock.

'Another monster?' Lucas started thinking, 'but Lya just defeated it, what is happening?' He lifted his head and asked again, "is it the same monster again?"

The man just nodded, Lucas was quite surprised to see him answer his questions, 'they are all free here,' he bit his lip.

"I have to go!" Lucas tried to squeeze through the guards without waiting for the rest to show up, 'I hope Kali didn't get in his way!' This made adrenaline rush through his blood, feeling all energetic and suddenly strong, he couldn't think clearly and just ran outside.

Not looking at his surroundings but hunting for the monster with his eyes, he heard Izek's voice speaking from inside again, -no matter what you say or do to the system, it will always have an upper hand...-

His voice was deep and low, 'what are you talking about?' Lucas's heart was beating faster with every breath he took.

-The system will force you to follow the plot...-

This was his last sentence before he disappeared.

"Answer me!" Lucas shouted.

Nothing was said back, 'uugh, this guy...' Lucas folded his fist, 'no time for his provocations, I must find Kali!' He got back his focus.

*Heeeeeaaaah*

An unfamiliar roar welcomed Lucas's ears, "what is this?" He frowned and covered his ears.

The noise he felt was killing his ears but he had to search for Kali. Lucas scanned the place filled with small barrack houses and saw her standing in the corner of the castle, ready to attack.

"Here she is!" Lucas moved to the left and started running towards the pink dragon.

He immediately stopped when he saw Kali breathe fire at the monster twice her size, "what the actual fuck?" Lucas gasped as his eyeballs were about to fall out.

The monster was covered in dark, brown fur and had sharp fangs in front of his muzzle. He kinda looked like a bear but with six feet, and two tails 'this place likes to add extra endings to every single being...' He thought.

He began to observe the situation to help Kali defeat this ugly-looking monster, 'what should I do?' His leg began to shake, 'If I'd take a pill, he will immediately take over, no, I don't need him here!' Lucas bit his thumb, 'what if I summon Renexa for now?'

"Fuck it, no time for regrets now, Renexa!" He straightened his arm and in a folded fist he lifted his index and middle finger up, "Obey!" He ordered.

A white beard with massive and sparkling wings appeared before him, "No time to explain anything, attack the monster to get his attention!" He shouted and then gasped for more air, "after three attacks, go back!" He had to save his mana as much as he could since he will need his energy to defeat the monster.

The bird nodded and flew up into the air, flapping its wings and glass-like shards filled the monster's fur. It roared for a second and then stop running towards Kali.

"It worked!" He jumped.

Lucas put his arms behind his back and pulled out the sword he bought from the gun shop, 'should I use it? Do I even know how to use it?' Small shivers ran through his skin, 'what's there to lose anyway?'

He pulled out the sword and with full force, he began to run towards it.

Surprisingly, there were no people around them, just him and Kali. Haya and the rest also seemed nowhere to be found, it was strange to him but no time to question anything.

The blade he had in his hands was very shiny and it felt strange in his hands, something was not right. Lucas felt like he knew what he was doing with it.

He was close to him and jumped into the air to attack the beard-looking massive monster. Lucas looked like a fly in front of him but he showed no fear.

The monster had no idea what was happening, but it could sense that there was something unusual about this human who was attacking him from a distance; perhaps he was someone special. It didn't matter to it because the only thing on its mind right now was to get rid of this intruder as soon as possible.
