The Darkness Metal Manipulation
Chapter 26's

In a house connected to an inn.

Many people were looking at the black-haired boy, the black eyes, the white-patterned black clothes and his black pants. That boy is Zyden, he's in trouble he doesn't know about.

Zyden was silent as everyone looked at him, and those people were also staring at him for quite a while. There was no sound for a moment, silence engulfed the place.

Zyden who felt strangely stared dumbly at by most women began to speak. Aye! There was no sound because they all enjoyed the form of the child.

"I'm so tired, so it's morning?" Zyden's speech was subtle which made some women blush. Elsa, Sofia, Sarah, even Laura who was talking casually with him also blushed to see Zyden's face that was difficult to say other than handsome.

"We don't have time to wait until morning." Exclaimed the woman who shouted earlier, she was Nika and only she and Angela were not too concerned about the good looks of Zyden.

Nika's voice made the blushing women start to see her, they think if Nika is familiar with her?, with the good looks of the boy?.

Nika did not respond to the gaze that was fixed on her, she just focused on Zyden sharply. Arnold sees Nika who is seriously staring at a man who does not know his origins.

Arnold established himself for what they had planned before coming directly to the intended person. Then he looked towards Zyden and started talking.

"Who are you really?" Ask Arnold in a serious tone. Everyone stared at Arnold about what he was talking about.

"...Whatchu mean?." Zyden exclaimed with his usual tone.

"Don't pretend to be stupid! While in the guild, where did you come up? And strangely enough, your man is black not blue." Arnold pointed to Zyden. "What kind of creature are you?" Arnold continued sharply.

The person who heard that was extremely shocked except for the members of his own party. Kenneth, Angela, Elsa and Laura were deeply confused by the statement, let alone those who had seen and heard Zyden's reply during yesterday's duel.

"A. What are you talking about Arnold." Kenneth was surprised. "Isn't that the aura of magic in particular?" Further asked.

"Not Uncle. It's not magic but mana." Arnold shook his head.

Kenneth was so shocked to hear what Arnold said, he trusted what Zyden said. But, he also knew that Arnold couldn't possibly lie.

"Why do you think that?" Zyden interrupted.

"Some elves can see where a person is, even if it's what you've been hiding." Nika replied.

Zyden thought for a moment, there is only one elf to be seen here and she is Sofia. The person he once met with and cried right in front of him.

'it turned out wrong when I made them surprised by my mana. I should have just used my killing intent back then, Zyden thought considering the events in the guild.

Arnold's party who saw Zyden so unconcerned about it was really upset, especially Sarah who had all-skeletal emotions.

"What do you mean then? No creature in the world has a mana as black as yours. What are you?." Nika shouted loudly.

There was still no Answer from Zyden, he was still silent about it. Kenneth who was still in shock began to regain consciousness, and saw Zyden full of meaning.

"Son! Are you... a demon?" Kenneth asked remembering what his sister had said.

Everyone who heard that was shocked, they thought the greatest possibility of this was indeed what Kenneth said.

Arnold's party, thinking about what Kenneth said, was right, began to prepare to fight in their respective positions. Except for an elf who made this happen, Sofia.

Sofia is very sure that Zyden is still human, but she doesn't say it because of his supposed nature.

Sofia also saw something strange about Zyden, she saw a lot of low-level spirit spirits around Zyden. The spirit spirits were like fireflies, they circled around Zyden's body.

Only Sofia could see it all, while the others were unaware of it. That's why he once invited Zyden to party with him while he was in the guild.

Sofia knew or rather, everyone knew that the person surrounded by spirits was a very special person. Therefore, only a few people are surrounded by spirit even though it is low level.

Spirits are known for their sanctity, let alone low-level spirits. It's like a baby that will cry or not when people hold it.

Everyone was still waiting for Zyden's answer as he prepared for the worst. Kenneth was somewhat doubtful of the thing he said, but it was also for more profound certainty.

If Zyden was telling the truth, Kenneth was sure it was true. But, if otherwise he also had to look for answers to that, let alone Kenneth who had already seen from the status crystal that the race of Zyden was human.

It also had the possibility that Zyden changed the outcome of the status crystal even though it was impossible. Kenneth still wants to know about it, just like where, there is no where other than blue.

But now, there is black mana, that means impossibility is not a difficult thing to happen to the child in front of him.

For Nika. He was really angry, he almost exploded looking at the man being questioned.

'He was silent and indifferent to what was going on around him. I hate people like her.' Nika thought.

As for the others they think of things that they think are right. As everyone was thinking and preparing for the worst, Zyden opened his mouth speaking in a somewhat sad tone.

"You're the same as those people!"
