AI Doctor : From Slave to Beast King

"Lord Damien, is there something that you are hiding from us?" Xavier asked with a suspicious expression. "As far as I know, you have no mana left in your body due to the tartarite nails that were embedded in your head."

Wasn\'t this man useless when it came to mana and morphing? He could neither draw his strength and skills through his beast core nor could he change into his beast form.

So why was he asking him to teach him how to draw mana? And that too after putting a halt to his training. Wasn\'t this jump a bit too big?

"That\'s right, I did have my mana taken away but you see Xavier.. When you mix this and that and what and not, you will get a completely different result than you expect."

"What are you trying to say, Lord Damien?" Xavier asked.

Upon hearing his response, Damien grinned at him before saying, "It\'s nothing. You remember that I injected the Impert Beast Snake\'s venom in my body right? Originally, I was going to just create an anti-venom. But who would have thought that the venom would be so dangerous that it would melt tartarite nails?"

"So I guess a bit of my mana is back?"

Xavier stared at the man with a shocked and disbelieving look on his face. He stammered out, "And you never told us anything?"

"It\'s not that I didn\'t want to tell you or anyone else anything," he said to Xavier coldly. "You know how I am being watched by the dogs of a certain someone. I can only hide that I have recovered, it\'s not an act of betrayal but survival, Got it?"

Xavier pursed his lips. He had to admit what Damien was saying was right. He sighed before saying, "Even if you have regained your mana, I am afraid it will not be as easy as you presume it to be."

"How will you know if you do not try?" Damien raised a brow with a smile on his face he said to Xavier, "You just saw that I hit the stone that you asked me to no matter how long it took right?"

Xavier seemed to have comprehended what Damien was trying to say, he blinked his eyes and said, "You mean to say that neither of us is allowed to go back until you succeed in drawing mana in your sword?" He was staring at Damien as if the man had gone crazy.

However, Damien simply smiled and said, "I have a mission to take, Xavier."

Shit.

On the other side, in the middle of Orc Forest.

Inside a small building with a loose board hanging outside that read — Crimson Paradox Guild.

"Is Clyde not back yet?" A man with a goatee asked while looking around the deserted hall.

"If you cannot see him, then it can only mean one thing that he is not back, Ollie" snickered another man. With his legs propped on the table he was reading the magazine like a pamphlet in his hands. He sniffed before saying, "Man, I wished that they sold proper entertainment magazines. I mean why do they have to make the women wear clothes at all? Isn\'t it better to have them pose naked?"

"Have you lost your mind?" Ollie glanced at the man who was holding a stack of crumpled paper bound together with a thread and multiple portraits of women drawn on it. "It\'s illegal to draw images of beast women in clothing as small as this, make sure that you are not caught, Joel."

"Humph," Joel snorted before saying, "It\'s not my fault that those women walk around in clothes that leave nothing to imagine. If they are so bothered by people drawing them in such clothes, they might as well stay at home."

"I was just—"

"You two," a man with crew cut stepped inside the guild hall. He was carrying a long, broad sword that was bigger than a human on his back. He glanced at the two men who were quibbling at a useless matter and said to them, "This is not the time for you to talk about such useless things. This is the opportunity that we have been waiting for."

He coldly smirked at the two men before saying to them, "Go and bring Clyde and Alton back. We are going to wipe the pests clean once and for all, at the yearly guild meetings."

Three days later,

"Why do I have to come with you?" Levi looked at Damien and Xavier with an annoyed look on his face. He raised his hands and clutched his hair with frustration before saying to Damien, "You could have stayed back at the guild while I deal with this case."

"Do you think that I want to be here?" Damien glanced at the midget who was making a fuss. "If you have something to say then you can take it to Master Godric."

Levi dropped his hands and looked at Damien with annoyance. "This is why I hate you. You always act so chill, it is frustrating."

"I have no love for you either, man."

"Do you want some of this eh?"

"You sure you can afford to do that?"

"What\'s that supposed to mean?"

"Alright, you two, calm down." Wistoria looked at the men who were fighting like children and was suddenly concerned if she made the right choice by bringing them here.

Damien turned to look at her and said to her, "I don\'t want to hear that from you. Why did you not tell me that you were the one who posted the mission?" if she had, he would have prepared better! At least he would have requested to stay away from this man!
