"Do you know how to lift its curse?" Kadyn asked, looking at Cecilia.

"A minor thing to do," Cecilia replied. "It was just a rank 1 mermaid, even if she was alive she won't be able to do anything to me, much less after dying. Though I wonder what kind of trick the father of that manager used to defeat her?"

"That's good," Kadyn smiled. "Now Khrom can solidify his foundation and remove the sequela caused by the herb he took at that time."

Cecilia looked at him and asked with a little surprised expression. "You are going to give him the pearl?"

"Yes."

"Do you know how much you can earn by selling it?"

"Doesn't matter," Kadyn shook his head. "We can earn money whenever we want, and maybe we can get many things with the money later, but a true friendship is certainly not one of those things. Khrom is a true friend."

Cecilia gazed at Kadyn for some time, then nodded without saying anything.

Creak~

Suddenly a sound came, it sounded as if someone was breaking a wooden plank, slowly. Everyone exchanged glances and then their gazes fell on the box in Kadyn's hand. It was trembling. 

"Humph, can't wait anymore, huh?" Cecilia snorted and waved her hand and the box went towards her. But just as it landed into her hand, it burst open into black fog. "Be suppressed, you evil thing!" she shouted and everyone saw a bat with red eyes appearing. 

Before anyone could understand anything, the fog was devoured by the bat and everything became normal. A blue pearl was lying inside the wooden box. Pure and untainted by any impurity or dirt.

"Done," she looked at everyone and smiled.

"What was that?" Kadyn asked after a brief silence.

"It was the evil spirit, formed by the resentment of the mermaid," Cecilia replied. "It would have killed us if we weren't powerful enough before going back to the manager. After all, the real target of the curse is that guy, as he was the descendant of the person who killed the mermaid."

"That bastard!" Zelie cursed.

"I wouldn't have cured him if I knew what kind of a bastard he was," Elora also gritted her teeth in hatred. She wanted nothing more than to break the manager's neck at this moment.

"Anyways," Cecilia smiled when she heard their curses," the curse has lifted and the pearl is completely fine now."

"By the way," Kadyn hesitated for a moment before asking. "What kind of Elemental Essence is that bat with red eyes? It's… incredible."

Cecilia bit her lower lip and thought for a moment and then said. "It is the treasure my family protected for a long time. Now it is my turn to protect it."

Kadyn waited for more detail, but Cecilia didn't speak anymore. He was a little reluctant and wanted to know more about her elemental essence; he didn't push her; everyone had their secrets, after all.

After a brief awkward silence, Elora asked. "How much time do we need to reach the Capital?"

"Ah, around five days," Kadyn replied.

Boom!

"Huh, what was that?" Zelie said with a surprised expression. At this moment a sound of footsteps came from outside.

"Two groups are fighting in front of us," Khrom came running to Kadyn's carriage and said as he looked inside through the curtain.

Kadyn came out and looked into the distance. An intense fight was happening. One group had been surrounding the four carriages, protecting from another group that was covered in dark clothing from head to toe. Then Kadyn realised that there was another group, in luxurious clothes. However, they weren't fighting, rather hiding behind the first group of people.

"Bandits," Kadyn murmured, but he didn't make a move, as he had nothing to do with these people. He didn't want to get involved in unnecessary trouble. But at this moment, his group was noticed by the people in front of him.

"Hahaha, today our luck isn't too bad, go take them down." The group leader of bandits laughed as he fought with one of the men who was protecting the merchants behind him.

Immediately, seven bandits rushed towards Kadyn's group. "Hey, we don't have any intention to fight, please, let us go," Kadyn said as he saw those people. When they heard him, bandits burst into a peal of laughter. 

"What tender skin you have," one of the men chuckled, "I want to feel it."

"Ah, man, you and your boy fetish," another man shook his head.

"You should try some manholes as well," the first man cackled, "I guarantee that you would fall in love…"

"Puchi!"

Before he could finish his sentence a shadow appeared in front of him and dug its hand into his chest. The shadow was none other than Kadyn. He looked into the man's eyes and pulled his hand out, on which laid a heart that was still beating and pumping warm blood on his hand.

Other bandits were scared silly by the gory scene and the way Kadyn killed their companion. Kadyn pushed the man to the side and his body fell on the ground lifelessly with open eyes and turned towards other people. "You should listen to the people when they say something, well, better luck in the next life."

"No, we…"

"Burst!"

Kadyn opened his hand towards the man and then closed it into a fist as if he was grabbing something, and the head of the poor man burst into millions of blood drops.

"No wonder the space element is one of the super elements," Kadyn grinned.

He looked towards others and as soon as his gaze fell on them they turned around and dashed away without further ado. "Leave none of them alive," he commanded coldly and two shadows sprinted after those people, and the terrorizing screams filled the air. When Barret and Hot Rod came back, they were dripping in red liquid.

Kadyn looked at the Bandit leader and realised that he was a Rank 2 mage, and he was fighting another rank 2 mage. As soon as they realised Kadyn's gaze, both parties became nervous. After all, they were in a deadlock at this moment, and if Kadyn helped either of them, the other party would lose.

"Sir, please help us, we will reward you greatly when we get back to the capital." A man who wore expensive clothes said with an expectant expression — and the face of the bandit leader changed as soon as he heard his words. He shouted threateningly towards Kadyn.. "Boy, you don't know what kind of situation you are getting into, get lost, or you will regret it."
