Chapter 49 First Encounter [Part 3]

Thirteen lunged at the charging Alpha Empyrean Boar, which was a Rank 2 Monster.

There were four types of monster classifications.

Normal, Alpha, Field Boss, and World Boss.

Each one of these Monsters was stronger than the last, and the seven-year-old was currently facing something that was way above his league.

Even so, he didn't back down.

The three children behind him were his family.

This was a new concept for Thirteen, who had lived most of his life as a System who helped his Hosts.

Now that he was starting to learn the emotions of humans, he had a strong urge to protect the children behind him.

Also, there was one other reason why Thirteen decided to take the initiative to charge alone and not involve his siblings.

He didn't know if he was right or wrong, but according to his calculation, there was a seventy percent chance that he was right.

Just as boy and boar were about to clash, a barrier wrapped itself around Thirteen and his siblings, protecting them from harm.

Suddenly, the ceiling above their heads collapsed.

A figure impaled the boar's head with a spear, penetrating its head all the way to its neck, killing it instantly.

Michael then pulled back his spear before adjusting the glasses on his face with his hand.

The blood of the Alpha Vagabond Boar dyed the ground red, creating a gruesome sight.

Shasha had covered Remi's eyes to prevent her from seeing such a gruesome scene. She knew that her little sister was still too young to see such carnage, so she shielded the latter from the scary things that she would eventually face, but not until several more years.

"Good job protecting your siblings," Michael commented. "I'll take it from here."

Just as he expected, their entire house had been demolished. Even the Smithy was destroyed.

It was as if a hurricane had passed through their house, making it look like the scene of a disaster.

Thirteen looked at the place where the Gate once stood and saw Hans looking at him with an apologetic gaze.

The seven-year-old nodded his head in understanding.

It seemed that Hans managed to arrive on time, but someone had prevented him from interfering.

Since it was Michael who came to save them, this meant that Gerald owed him a favor. Of course, he also knew that this was what Arthur wanted to happen.

'Just this once,' Thirteen vowed as he turned around to look at his siblings, who were still shaken by their first encounter with the Jinns.

However, the seven-year-old was pleasantly surprised when he saw that although Mikhail's and Shasha's faces were still pale, a look of determination could be seen in their eyes.

The corner of Thirteen's lips curled up after seeing their faces. It was great that their near brush at death only made his brother's and sister's resolve stronger.

He could see that they, too, didn't want to feel helpless like this again, which would only push them to reach greater heights.

'I guess this is a blessing in disguise,' Thirteen thought. 'It seems that the Old Bastard didsomething good after all.'

Thirteen then looked at the wreckage of their house and rubbed his chin.

He wasn't too worried about the cost of rebuilding the house because, right now, they didn't lack money.

The house and Smithy could be rebuilt, but lives couldn't be replaced once they were gone.

The seven-year-old then glanced in the direction of the Leventis Family's residence, where he could feel a stare boring into his small body.

'I'll remember this old man,' Thirteen sneered. 'You better prepare yourself to cough out blood the next time we negotiate.'

Thirteen was someone who kept grudges, and he would certainly repay them in full.

For now, he closed his eyes and used his experience as a system to design a blueprint for a house that wouldn't be destroyed, even if a Rank 8 Monster and their Legion knocked on their doorstep to invite themselves for lunch.
