I regressed and became the Sword Ice King-Chapter 211 - - Trip to the East 30
Raph’s gaze bulged open in realization as he stared at the creature. It seemed oddly familiar to the reptilian beast race, but those creatures were known for their racism against humans. But this one seems to not only be completely under their control, but also under their command.
More than that, there was something unnatural about its energy source. A destructive yet stable combination of aura and mana.
’....wait….isn’t this familiar?’. He thought as the creature charged at them.
Elsie growled ferociously and charged at him in the blink of an eye.
Their speed was nearly impossible to follow with the human eye, and their strength caused trembles to spread around the Earth. A Wolf Beastman against a Reptilian Beastman. A sight worth seeing.
A collision of power and energy occurred as they slammed their heads against each other, causing a sonic ripple that blasted into the air.
The two Beastmen growled as they were locked in a struggling stalemate that was quickly shifted to Elsie’s side as she pulled herself backwards, suffused her body with wind and slammed him away with the brunt of the wind.
The Reptilian Beastman cried out in fury as its body rolled against the hard ground, only to rise back up in all its reptilian splendour.
It charged yet again in a mindless fit of rage, swinging its tail to the sides as it jumped into the air. Its claws protruded out in its splendour as it crashed down at the spot Elsie stood a second ago.
They charged at each other nearly immediately, with the Reptilian Beastman striking out with its sharp, metallic claws while Elsie fended it off with her teeth and forehead.
Her wolf form gave her a study constitution against sharp objects, though, that didn’t mean she didn’t get hurt.
Slashes and cuts found their way on her face as blood dribbled down in minute drops. The Reptilian creature wasn’t left unharmed, though; its claws were protruding out the wrong way, and bite marks had found their way on his armour-like scales.
Their fury of attacks continued for a moment until the reptilian beast suddenly spun around and swung its tail like a hammer of justice.
The wind suffused Elsie, and her agility and reaction time suddenly peaked up to a certain level as she sidestepped, dodging the mace and opened up her maw as she grabbed its tail with her mouth.
A small whimper escaped the Reptilian creature as it was suddenly flung into the air to the opposite side and slammed against the ground with brunt force.

A surge of wind suddenly surrounded the Reptilian Beastman as it was picked up and slammed against the ground on the opposite side.
Each time Elsie swung her head and its tail with it, the Reptilian Beastman would be sent flying into the air and crashing into the ground.
The force caused a crater each time, and it only deepened as she increased the speed at which she swung it around.
While this occurred, Raph stood from afar as he observed the creature. He had an inkling of an idea of what that was after witnessing the gruesome battle. "It’s not a real Reptilian. It’s a chimaera".
He muttered under his breath as his gaze shifted to the side where two men were currently running away from their grasp.
"Oh, would you look at that".
With a stump of his foot, he ran after them with a burst of power, closing off the distance, and leaving Elsie with the Reptilian.
’She’s an 8th circle, and the reptilian chimaera was made from a 7th circle and 7th star….she should be fine’. He thought, before appearing next to the two Merchants.
"Sir Malen, you seem to be running off in the wrong direction," he said with a chuckle as he circled them and stopped a few feet away from them.
The two merchants were forced to come to a halt on hearing his voice, and their gazes grew stern as they threw glares at him.
"Now, Now. You can’t blame anyone but yourself for this predicament" Raph said with a chuckle as he folded his hands. "Well, I don’t have to say this, but you’re aware that you have to come with me right?"
Malen and Colby glanced at each other, but their expressions gave off different goals. Colby was panting ruggedly, and it seemed like he was ready to find a means of escaping to avoid trouble, but Malen just found this whole situation appalling.
It wasn’t time for him to get exposed, and it certainly wasn’t time for him to get captured.
Malen slowly glanced at Raph. "Sir Kael, why don’t you turn a blind eye to this?" He asked.
"A blind eye?" Raph raised a brow as he pointed at his eyes. The two men sighed in unison in realization as Malen scratched the back of his head.
"I don’t mean it literally, but I presume you have a way of seeing. Let us escape. There is no information that we have that Neuj Rakarf doesn’t"
Raph chuckled slightly. "Information?" He asked with a raised tone in his voice. "I know it all already. You wanted to give those goods to the Eastern army to ensure the war continued in the favour of the East. You called for assistance with the Eastern Frontiers and they sent the East Assassin Duo for our heads".
Raph said as he stared at Malen, whose gaze was slowly getting darker.
"You were conflicted with how I handled things, so you sought a way to get rid of me….and the mountain baby was a perfect opportunity for you".
Malen bit his lip bitterly. "And so what?" He asked.
"Nothing really….. it’s just, one wonders if this was planned by a single merchant…..or better yet, an organization working behind the scenes". His last statement had been directed to Malen, and the latter could tell by how Raph stared at him as if his gaze could see the very essence of his soul.
"Now, I will tell you again. Come with us, Malen" Raph instructed with a cold tone while the two Merchants stared at him in bafflement.
Malen’s thoughts were left in disarray as he began to concoct a manner in which he could escape, and for all it took, it came down to one thing.
"Yes, you are right, Sir Kael!" he said with a twisted tinge of anger and happiness in his tone as he glanced at Colby.
He tapped the man on his shoulder and gave him a bittersweet smile.
Colby raised a brow in confusion as he stared at Malen’s gaze when a sudden reflux of pain spread out in the man’s abdomen.
Colby fell to his knees as he cried out in pain while blood and wriggly organs coughed out from his mouth.
"....is This what you choose?" Raph asked with a bitter tone as he grabbed his longsword, and surged his body in a blue concentrated aura.
Malen remained silent as he watched Colby wriggle on the floor as screams of pain and agony forced their way out of his mouth while blood and internal organs choked him as he spat them out.
A moment of silence that was pierced by the agonizing wails of the man was left between the two until Malen finally glanced at Raph.
"How long did you know?" He asked with a raised brow. ’Just now….He knows of my identity’. He thought. It was the only conclusion he could come to after understanding Raph’s words.
It didn’t make sense to him. How did his secret get out? And most importantly, how many people know? He could stand all day and try to figure it out himself, or he could bear out his fangs and cut off all those who know.
"Only I" Raph replied as he slowly took a stance. "Hasn’t the Red Peacemakers done enough? Why do you seek disorderliness in a world trying to find peace?"
"There is no peace as there is no manner of obtaining it. There is only war and conflict". Malen took a step forward and pulled out an oval-shaped red orb.
Raph widened his eyes to recognize the object. "A Return Orb?" He muttered and charged at him in full motion. His sword sliced through the air, with the flow of his feet as he struck his blade towards Malen with a cold purpose.
His sword slammed against something hard, of which he could not see and bounced off nearly immediately.

"I have the blessings of the executives. Do you think you are enough to kill me? An important member of the Red Peacemakers?"
Raph grunted as he increased the strength of his muscles and struck the invisible wall once again. A loud bang noise echoed as if he struck metal, and it bounced off again. He bit his lip in annoyance.
Malen laughed at his efforts as he broke the orb, causing a stream of light to diffuse into the air and surround him before igniting into the skies.
His body began to glow, slowly.
"Let me tell you this, Kael! The Red Peacemakers shall come for your head, and I shall use your skull as my cup".
His gaze brewed with malicious intent as it was fixed on Raph, who simply stepped away as Malen disappeared with the light. Raph sighed as he thought.
’That’s funny…..I want you guys dead as well’.
