Chapter 119 - Forneus

___________________________

---The next day---

In the Forest,

In a place full of of trees, several animals could be seen roaming, insects were also present while birds were chirping in the sky. On the other hand, a big tent could be seen being installed in the middle of the forest near a pond while a man was cooking something outside.

Shortly after that, a young girl then suddenly got out from the tent while rubbing something on her eyes with her hair still messed up implying that she just woken up.

"Yo!, it's time to eat breakfast." John greeted while looking at the still innocent face of Yamraiha who was now drooling after smelling something on the air.

Yamraiha felt surprised as she looked at the food on the table and immediately felt extreme hunger after seeing it sparkling like stars which she then looked at John as if saying that she already wanted to start eating.

"Go ahead." John said while finishing the barbecue and placed it on the table before also taking a seat to eat.

While eating, John couldn't help but looked at the little Yamraiha who was like Shio in God Eater seeing how much she love the food. He then just smiled before also eating quietly waiting for her to be done and talk to her afterwards.

....................

It took several minutes before the two finished the food present on the table as John was already looking at the scenery of the place while Yamraiha was rubbing her stomach like some drunkard man with a big belly.

"Yamraiha, did you already killed a person?" John suddenly blurted out wondering if she already did such a thing. This might be a strange thing to ask but he wanted to know as killing were already part of him in order to grow and Yamraiha following him must get used to it.

Yamraiha looked at John as she heard what he asked which made her body suddenly stiffened.

"Y-Yes." Yamraiha took much time before answering while remembering the first time she killed a person after living in solitude due to her talent as a magician in the past which she then started shaking a bit after saying that.

"Hmmm." John said while looking at her as he really didn't knew all about her past which he could only wryly laughed inside as the world really was cruel seeing such a girl already experience to kill someone despite being young.

"By the way, do you have something to ask?" John then changed the topic seeing that it became awkward all of the sudden.

Hearing this, Yamraiha then pondered about it as she started to calmed down while formulating some questions to asked him with regards to magic.

"How could you cast a magic without having any magoi in your body?" Yamraiha asked as this was really bugging her after remembering how he made her float yesterday despite not having magoi which is very abnormal as she knew that all living beings have magois on their body.

"Hehehe, well maybe because I'm more talented than you in magic." John jokingly said to lively up the mood seeing her still not in shape on what they just talked earlier.

"Hmmp" Yamraiha scoffed seeing John was teasing her with his jokes but she was really dying to know how he did that.

"Well, that's because I used another energy instead of what you call magoi." John then truthfully said while looking at Yamraiha already returned back to normal.

"Hmmm. What is it? " Yamraiha asked again as John's reply only increased her curiousity towards him.

"Well, we had long journey so you could observe me on the process while I will also answer some of your questions." John said and stopped talking such things seeing Yamraiha wouldn't stop pestering him.

Yamraiha was furious for a while seeing John refusing to answer her questions but thinking about what he said, she then could only follow him and know more about him.

Right after that, the two then just started talking casually asking about question about their hometown and such before the two then continued their journey as John already had a place in mind where to go.

---One month later---

Unexplored Region of Extreme North,

In a place filled with Ice and snow, two people could be seen walking ahead with a very thick clothes to cover up their selves from the extreme cold. These two people were none other John and Yamraiha after arriving towards the place John wanted to visit first.

"Do you know this place, Yamraiha?" John asked while remembering their journey on the way here, seeing beautiful sceneries and several monsters on the way.

"No, this is my first time coming here. Hmmm, so this is Imuchakk." Yamraiha replied while looking at the place with amazement as this was her first time feeling such a clod place as she could only read about them on the book from the Academy.

"Just follow me then." John said while holding her head heading toward a certain location on the place even though this was also his first time visit.

...................

After walking for a while, John and Yamraiha then could already find some civilization after seeing several mysterious shape houses with some giant people walking around which the latter then started to swarm and talk to them seeing another outsiders again while some were looking at them intently as if observing them.

But it didn't take long before a group of people came, seeing that they were arms with weapon it was safe to call them as the warriors of this place.

"Visitor from afar, our chief wanted to talk to you." One of the warriors said while looking at John and Yamraiha.

John looked at them before smiling as the thought that his work here must be quite easy. Yamraiha, on the other hand, was still surprised to see such giant humans which made her curious about them.

The two then was guided by the person before arriving towards a seemingly large house or some sort of a palace while men were guarding outside.

___________________________

Inside the palace,

Upon entering, the place couldn't be describe as a simple house anymor as it was more like a small and ordinary palace inside.

On the other hand, John and Yamraiha could now be seen looking toward the giant man with a long hair and a long beard, tied in a braid sitting on a gigantic throne with a hugr sword-likr weapon on the back. He has a scar that crosses his entire face, and his left eye has a different shape from the right.

"It's nice to see you Chief Rametoto, Chief of Imuchakk." John greeted which Yamraiha also did the same seeing that this must be the most proper way to address a person like him.

"I'm still not used to see outsiders coming towards our home. What's your purpose of coming here then?" Chief Rametoto replied while looking at them as he knew that they didn't just visit this place for sightseeing. He didn't even bother where he knew his name despite seeing each other for the first time.

"Well, to tell you the truth, I wanted to take something from you if its alright." John replied without feeling fear of what is about to happen.

"Oooooh, what is it, boy?" Chief Rametoto amusingly replied after seeing and meeting such an interesting and bold young man.

"Metal Vessel: Forneus." John seriously said while looking towards the sword on the back of the throne while getting excited to have his very first Metal Vessel.

Chief Rametoto's interested face then became serious after hearing what John just said thinking about how did he knew such thing.

"I commend your braveness, young man. But I think you should leave or I might lost my patience." Chief Rametoto replied seriously while thinking why would such a young man say it without any hint of fear on his eyes.

"Sad to say but I won't leave this place without it." John before he summoned Infinity and transform it to a sword while smiling towards Chief Rametoto.

Yamraiha, on his side, was very nervous at the moment as she doesn't know what was happening which she just hold her staff tightly.

"Ohhh, so you want to force your way in the beginning." Chief Rametoto said as he picked up his weapon while smiling as he also wanted to fight. Though he didn't knew where John take such courage and confidence but all he wanted now was to give him some lesson and teach him some right manners to speak towards an older person.

"Yamraiha, watch carefully." John said before he suddenly rushed forward towards Chief Rametoto fast enough that the later couldn't even react on time as he was kicked and flew back destroying the palace.

___________________________

Outside the palace,

The sudden commotion brought the attention of all people living in the village while the guards already started running and surrounded the area as they knew that an outsider just came in but they were shocked to see that it was actually their chief who just flew back.

"D-Don't." Chief Rametoto groaned saying that they weren't a match for John after feeling the pain coming from his single kick which made him shocked thinking how could a young and small man had such power.

"Who are you??!" Chief Rametoto shoutedly asked after seeing John got outside while holding his sword wanting to know about his name.

"I'll keep it a secret for now." John replied not wanting to tell his name. He then walked slowly towards Chief Rametoto waiting for him use the ability of Forneus as he was also curious about it as it wasn't clearly stated in the anime or in the manga.

Chief Rametoto hold his sword while gritting his teeth seeing John walking casually towards him. After that kick, he could tell that the person in front of him was more powerful than him in terms of physical power. He could only hold his sword tightly thinking if he could use it now but he don't have a choice but to try it as he gripped his sword which a red mist starting to came out while his arms also started to turned red forming something like piece of armor on it.

[Djinn Weapon Equip: Forneus has been picked up.]0

"Hmmm. Such a shame that you still did not learn to fully equip it." John said while looking that the only thing that changed were his arms as it was now covered with something like an armor but he still did not react as he still didn't knew its power. John knew from himself that he might probably be the most powerful person of this world despite not having his true strength and just rely on what he had now but still, he wanted to discover new things and make things more interesting.

Moments later, Chief Rametoto then started swinging his sword who now became a long and stylized spiked bludgeon while feeling surprised by the sudden changes on his arms as this was the first time he succeeded. He then looked at John while smiling before he was the one who rushed this time wanting to test its power.

John looked at Chief Rametoto as he also dashed forward while blocking his weapon with his which right after colliding a red mist then appeared again. John looked at the mist before feeling that his arms suddenly got itchy and somehow feel like rotting which he then took some distance to check on what it was.

"Hahahaha, so this is a Metal Vessel, huh." Chief Rametoto laughed looking at his Metal Vessel after seeing John back upon contact with the mist.

"So it's poison." John said after seeing that the power Forneus was actually poison as he was surprised as he thought that it might be a Djinn specialized in strength magic but thinking upon the appearance of Chief Rametoto in Djinn equip, it might be possible since as far as he remembered he really have some similarities to a scorpion.

After knowing Forneus's power, John instead of worrying was actually smiling while laughing inside him. He then looked at Chief Rametoto again before taking the initiative to attack this time as play time were already over.

"It's futile. Forneus ability was poison, everyone that made contact with the mist would get burned and poison." Chief Rametoto said before also rushing full of confidence upon the power of his Metal Vessel.

The two weapons then collided while the same mist appeared again but this time Chief Rametoto's face full of confidence suddenly started to changed after seeing John smiling at him as if the poison was nothing to him.

"Sadly you met me, a person who was immune to poison." John said while smiling as thanks to God's Immunity, he was immune to almost everything.

Chief Rametoto looked with surprised upon hearing before he looked at John's hand which started to changed seeing that it became more like a stone.

John smiled as he used Hardening on his hand wanting to test its power as he punched the still surprised Chief Rametoto on the face which he then flew away on the near mountain.

John looked to where he flew while thinking that he used a little bit force this time but he was not worried as he knew that they had some extraordinary endurance due to the Metal Vessel added to the trait of their race.

The battle left the people with their mouths opened seeing such a young and small man fought their chief like a kid without even figthing back.

John looked at them before seeing them suddenly stepped back a little which he could only wryly smiled before heading towards the place that Chief Rametoto crashed.

___________________________

At the foot of the mountain,

John could be seen looking towards the sword with interest while looking towards the eight pointed start symbol on it.

Shortly after that, he then put it in his inventory as he looked at the unconscious old man on the ground before picking him up and carried him back to the village.

___________________________

At the village,

Yamraiha could be seen holding her staff nervously looking towards the guards who surrounded her after John left. She was hesitating whether fight them or not seeing that they were pointing their weapon on her.

Not long after, all of the people even the guards and Yamraiha suddenly felt as if the presence of death were coming toward them which they couldn't help but stand still not wanting to move an inch as they felt that they would die if they do so.

John, who just arrived with such aura looked at them especially to the guards with seriousness on his face seeing them surrounding Yamraiha with their weapons pointing at her. The aura that he was giving off was actually the presence that he accumulated throughout his conquest and now more like an intimidating skill of his.

Seeing that the guards was about to fell down from the heavy atmosphere, John then released off his aura and put down the unconscious Chief Rametoto on the ground before moving towards Yamraiha.

"I'm sorry, I left you behind." John said with a smile while caressing Yamraiha's head like a kid.

"Hmmp. I could deal with them even if you're not around." Yamraiha replied childishly upon hearing John's words that was more like a father protecting his child.

"Hahahaha. I know, I know, you're a genius magician after all." John laughed seeing Yamraiha as if she wasn't bothered with the situation.

"Hmmp." Yamraiha acted like a spoiled child but she was actually happy inside seeing John was concerned about her.

"Well then." John said as he looked towards the people in the village seeing them getting afraid and nervous upon seeing his gaze.

"Your chief was just unconscious. Tell him when he woke up that I will treasure Forneus more than him." John said before he summoned the magic carpet and flew in the sky together with Yamraiha on his side and immediately leave the place.

Upon seeing John and Yamraiha leaving, the guards and people then immediately rushed towards Chief Rametoto looking upon his situation which they couldn't help but sighed knowing that he was really just unconscious just like what the young man just said.
