50. Avatar of Magical Beasts and Power – Part 4
Boom!
Crash!
A long, long time ago, deep in the crevices of a lightning-split rock, a black-furred four-legged beast was born.
At first glance, it looked like a harmless herbivore that enjoyed leaves, but this little guy was a full-blown carnivore, munching on anything that moved—plants or beasts, it didn’t care!
Eventually, everywhere it trod turned into a desolate wasteland, a desert echoing with nothing but silence, where not even a single beast dared to howl.
In the Ancient Nest, the magical creatures trembled at the sight of this beast, nicknamed Tyrant or the Great Power King for boasting strength like no other.
For it, life was a straight path: Anyone blocking the way got a thorough beating with its horns and back legs, and keep marching on!
“I want to eat something tastier.”
“I want to get stronger and eat even tastier stuff.”
Though he seemed like an avatar of strength and destruction, at heart, he was just a giant hungry beast following the simple logic of wanting to fill his empty stomach.
However, his stomach was like a massive lava pit, digesting everything he tossed in without mercy.
To satisfy his rumbling belly, the man crushed foes and eventually snagged the world’s most coveted fruit—the Fruit of Good and Evil from the World Tree.
Thus transformed into a mythical creature, he spread terror throughout the world under the name Demon King Gyuki. But no matter how many treasures and honors he had, or how high he climbed in status, that insatiable hunger lingered, like a parched desert yearning for rain.
“Now, this feels familiar.”
As he resigned himself to the hunger and thirst—his lifelong torment—the Demon King met a tiny beast, a mere speck compared to him, inside a cave no one dared enter.
This creature was so fragile that just the wrong amount of pressure would likely cause it to break.
That day marked the moment he said goodbye to his old friend, Hunger. In its place, a gentle ache blossomed in Gyuki’s heart.
But strangely enough, this was far more painful than hunger.
“Hey, you’re just being used by Nialli.”
Demon King Gyuki lifted his eyes to the chattering white beast before him.
He hated chatty types. Generally, those who talk too much have tough and chewy tongues, so he preferred quiet beasts as food.
“I’m just being used?”
Yet, what this white-furred creature said made Gyuki’s heart race. It poked at his heart like a sharp thorn.
“Yep, women who use men only reach out when they need something. You might be the only one they rely on to fulfill their whims.”
“…”
Gyuki didn’t respond but continued listening to the white beast’s words.
It was as if it knew everything that went on between him and Nialli, as if they were sharing secrets at that moment.
Could it possibly see into his heart?
His gaze flickered between Fire Dragon Azidahaka and the white beast. The all-seeing eye of the Fire Dragon seemed obscured by a blindfold for some reason.
And this white beast appeared to be a type that relied on brute strength like himself, far removed from peering into hearts.
‘Judging by the development of its hind leg muscles and paws, it must be quite strong.’
Gyuki clenched the fan in his hand tightly. The battles against the magical beast Behemoth made his bl**d boil, almost making him forget his hunger.
‘With this fellow, I’m sure a good fight is possible. However….’
“Most of the time, men also ask other women for favors. Breakfast from you, lunch from one, and dinner from another. They pass on little problems to others instead of solving them themselves.”
The white beast’s voice shook Gyuki’s mind. No one had ever spoken ill of Nialli before him. Hearing such direct and cold criticism made his heart thump like a hoof striking his chest.
“Other guys also ask her for favors…?”
“Yeah, to those women, men are like fish caught in a net. They check in every now and then, toss food their way, and that’s their idea of caring for you.”
“That can’t be true. If there’s another man besides me, I have the important job of protecting Nialli’s heart. That must mean I’m the one she trusts and cares about the most! I’m special compared to others.”
Gyuki’s expression soured deeply. It had been a thousand years since he had felt so bad. If this were the Ancient Nest, just him frowning would make all the other beasts beg for their lives on the floor.
But this white beast seemed unconcerned, shrugging its shoulders, speaking in a mix of pity and sarcasm.
“If she really trusted and cared for you, wouldn’t she want to see you often? Instead of leaving you hanging like this?”
“What?”
Gyuki leaped to his feet, indignant at the harsh critique.
“She must be busy! Nialli has always had a lot on her plate. That’s why I helped her! She’s probably too busy to come see me right now!”
“Can someone really vanish for a thousand years, no matter how busy? Nialli’s ability is an Avatar, right? She can be anywhere and go anywhere! If her heart is as vital as you say, she should come to check on it regularly.”
“…”
Gyuki couldn’t come up with a reply. He had a surge of protest bubbling inside but couldn’t find the words. He was never a great talker anyway.
The white beast’s accurate probing of the questions that had haunted him for a millennium stirred his heart.
“I don’t know about animals, but if someone truly loves and cares for another, they would want to talk and see each other all the time. Unless you’re in a long-term relationship already, then it’s different. But at least in the blush of romance, it’s like that. Wouldn’t you want to visit and connect every little chance you get?”
“…”
Of course, Gyuki wanted to meet Nialli right away. After spending about a thousand years cooped up underground, the love he felt for her had grown immensely.
However, the more his affection grew, so too did the doubts, exponentially, leaving him bewildered.
‘Maybe this guy’s words have some truth to them.’
The white beast scratched at Gyuki’s itchy spots, exposing the truths he had refused to face.
“Well, males and females, females and males, they’re not the same. Males will never understand the unspoken issues females carry.”
After a while of silence, Gyuki finally stuttered out, his voice trembling. He sensed that the beast was loosening up, becoming weaker than before.
‘Just a little more, and it’ll crumble. Should I push a little harder?’
Swallowing my sly grin, I shrugged my shoulders.
“That’s just nonsense fed to you by women. Males and females want the same thing—to mate and procreate. What do you think, Azidahaka? You’re just a female too, right? Wouldn’t you want to keep the one you love close?”
I tossed the ball into Fire Dragon Azidahaka’s court, thinking that hearing it from a fellow female might sting Gyuki more than my words ever could.
Gyuki was someone who clung to the thought that ‘women are special,’ so explanations from another female like Azidahaka would score more points.
“Oh, female creature….”
Azidahaka made a face so grim it was apparent even behind its blindfold. However, perhaps sensing my intention, it cleared its throat and began speaking in a calm, persuasive tone.
“That’s true, Gyuki. Although you may not know since you’ve never paired up, both females and males experience love and affection differently. If you truly like someone, you worked your b*tt off without excuses or reservations.”
“You can’t say that since you’ve never partnered up either, Azidahaka. What do you know about romance?”
“Huh? No, no! I have much more experience than you! For one, I am bonded in a sticky love with this white beast here!”
Azidahaka placed a hand on my side and hoisted me up. Usir, quietly eavesdropping, mumbled seriously, “Is that true…?”
‘This is news to me! When did this guy become my partner?’
Squeezy!
I felt intense pressure from Azidahaka’s grip on my waist, like a “Get with the program!” message.
“Y-Yeah! What this beast says is right!”
“Wow, amazing. Somehow, the Fire Dragon’s tail….”
“Gyuiing.”
Usir shrugged in awe.
Gyuki raised an eyebrow, clearly doubtful. “You, who shunned males, ended up paired with this weak little beast?”
“Just because it’s small doesn’t mean it’s weak! Ahem! What I’m trying to say is that you’re just being used by Nialli. She knows your feelings and is just exploiting your innocence.”
At Azidahaka’s scolding, Gyuki plopped back down onto his seat with a thoughtful “Hmm.” His bulky body seemed heavier than before, and it wasn’t just a trick of the eye.
‘Let’s see how this unfolds…’
I watched Gyuki, my heart racing. After a long pause, he finally seemed to reach a conclusion, softly speaking out.
“I don’t serve Nialli with the expectation of receiving anything in return. She doesn’t have to repay me. Just being able to do something for her is enough.”
“Not a chance, this guy is impossible to persuade.”
Seeing that my words weren’t getting through, I realized how apt the saying about preaching to the deaf was. With bubbling frustration, I opened my mouth to vent my anger at Gyuki.
“Just end up being used your whole life, then!”
Whoosh!
A vibrant blue flame shot toward the black bull. But, just like that, my fire merely split around the fan Gyuki held, igniting the surroundings instead.
With a small smile from behind the fan, Gyuki remarked, “Ah, this is the way talking like men should be. If you want to persuade me, then show me some strength that would impress me.”
Gyuki waved his fan, extinguishing all the flames. I had already realized from Azidahaka that this guy was resistant to fire. However, while the legendary artifact could snuff out flames, my own simmering anger was far from doused.
“Persuade? No way! You’re meant to suffer! Men like you spoil women rotten, and their attitudes go up to their heads, making it impossible for both genders to find stability…!”
“You’re fuming. What’s that anger for?”
“It’s for all the injured males up until now. d*e, loser!”
I pushed Azidahaka aside and lunged at Gyuki. My brief moment of sympathy had evaporated, and all I wanted was to punch that smug face.
“I won’t back down. Bring it!”
“Oh yeah? Let’s see if you’ll stay calm after this!”
Leaping into the air, I boost off the ceiling with my hind legs, showcasing a combined strength of gravity and muscle!
‘Gotcha, he’s slow to react!’
I charged straight at Gyuki, claws at the ready, and swiped furiously across his face.
“Grrr!”
Gyuki clutched his face, which now bore five claw marks, groaning in pain. Seeing this, Azidahaka shouted quickly.
“Striking bl**d from Gyuki! Now’s our chance! Let’s team up!”
Whoosh!
Azidahaka dove towards the disoriented Gyuki, slamming its tail into his torso.
“I can’t believe you’re teaming up like a coward…!”
