-Just east of the area where The Lake Methane Empire is located, there was a large, huge forest. Some of the trees in this forest were at least had 300 meters in height.
This forest was called "Mystical Lord Forest."
The reason for this name was some creatures in this forest that were as intelligent as human beings and even had their own "Soul Ability" abilities.
In general, "The Lake Methane Empire" own mystics squads and armies take cla.s.ses here and sometimes left here by their teachers to survive in the forest, and the "Mystic Schools" students in the city, would train here too.
That"s because they have a different understanding than the "Green Sun Empire." Simply, "The Lake Methane Empire," thought the best form of education was direct real combat experience.
They always think that the theory learning is important but in the end, if a mystic did not have any kind of battle experience or the experience is earned only in a place that the students and mystics soldiers know that they are safe if something bad happens "it is not worth it."
This was their thinking and one big difference from the "Green Sun Empire" itself.
This was also clear as day in the real battles and duels between the "Green Sun Empire" and "The Lake Methane Empire" in the most of time, three "Green Sun Empire" could fight only one "Lake Methane Mystics." and that was because the "Mystic" from the "The Lake Methane" did not have enough energy for the keep fighting.
The Mystics, who born and trained in the "Lake Methane Empire" was strong because they were put on the life and death battles from the start of their career of the mystic.
Some of the "Mystics" died and some of them lived.
Those who lived were great mystics and powerful people in the "Lake Methane Empire" even the "Queen Siveria" herself what trained like that and her training was even harsher than the regular mystics in the "Lake Methane Empire".

Martin and Lagar continued to move forward from within "Mystical Lord Forest." Naturally, Lagar had specific knowledge of this area and know that "Mystical Lord Forest" was off the limits for himself and even the "Advanced Lord Level" mystic regularly died here.
But because he had Martin with him, he could move forward without fear.
Even still, he did not know exactly what kind of power Lord Martin had and what level he was at.
But as far as he understood, he knew that he was at least at the level of "Emperor" level with the information he received from the events that happened when he was sleeping and Lord Martin was in the "Star Hub".
There was something strange that Lagar and a lot of people on the continent thought the "Emperor" Level was at the final level. They did even not know that there are "Ancestor Level" at all.
-
Continuing to advance through the forest, the two didn"t realize they were watching a creature at the time. Even Martin couldn"t understand that with his ability, this kind of creature was following him and Lagar.
-
1.60 cm height, with gray skin color and, large purple eyes looked like the bottomless void and a sharp set of teeth in the mouth, with a rather weak-looking body, two long thin claws on his small and fragile hands, this creature was following the Martin and Lagar, at the same time
Although the species of this creature - although not fully known - was publicly remembered for fear, and even "The Lake Methane Empire" said that only "Advanced" and high-level lord mystics should fight with such a creature if encountered in the forest.
These creatures were named "The Gray Demons" by "The Lake Methane Empire".
What makes them stronger is that they have their own "Soul Ability" skills, each of which is smarter than most people and can create their own special "Soul Ability" skills.
They were pretty much like humans most of the time with a smarter brain and a more weak body.

Ikelga was able to easily walk through the green bushes with a smile on his face, and he could easily track and follow the two men walking in the road.
Ikelga - in general, wasn"t a very strong "Gray Demon" but, at least, he had a smarter mind and a nice ability than other "Gray Demons."
Ikelga"s ability was called "Erase Me.", it was a simple ability and could be used practically.
Using the "Erase Me" ability,
Ikelga could hide all the existence and presence he had, and even if the person could not feel his presence and, even if he could see Ikelga, they ignored him in a different way and with thought, and sometimes they even thought he was a sculpture because of his ability.
Ikelga had developed his ability simply, and he practiced for it.
Therefore, he didn"t have to add very heavy "conditions" to his ability. All he had to do was count as much as he could, starting from his mind, starting at 1 when his "Erase Me" ability was active.
"Erase Me"
"Ability - Hides user existence and presence to "extreme"
" Activation Conditions"
"User has to count from 1 to 100 in his mind ,"
If he stopped counting, his talent would be deactivated.

"I"m going to wait for a good time and attack a younger looking human."
The other person doesn"t emit much energy, but he"s got a strange air and expression. I don"t make sense to attack him. Overall, I have only one chance.
One attack, I have to finish the teenager off and getaway. Probably at that point, the other big-looking person escapes because of what he"s been through."
That"s how Ikelga thought. But he didn"t know who he was up against.
He didn"t even know that the person he wanted to attack was an "Ancestor" level.
That meant something very bad to him. But there was no way "Ikelga" would know that.
Martin - even though he was really strong - couldn"t even realize where "Ikelga" was after using the natural talents ikelga had and the "Soul Ability" and developing it with practice and "conditioning" on top of it.
That"s what made Soul Ability strong - even a "Lord" level could get close to the "Ancestor" level.
