Chapter 124: Chapter 124 – Too Much at Once
The Ore Fiend took the Ether Pebble and looked at it for a while.
Then, it slowly threw it into its mouth.
It chewed a bit.
Finally, it opened its mouth again and spat the remainder to the ground.
"I guess you don’t like it," Kyle said with a smile.
The Ore Fiend just kept looking at Kyle.
’This fucking thing is making me nervous,’ he thought as sweat ran down his forehead. ’If that thing attacks me, I’m done for.’
Kyle continued mining, and whenever he got an Earth Stone, he halved it and gave one half to the Ore Fiend.
This went on for several minutes.
"Stop!" Kyle shouted as the Ore Fiend tried to grab Kyle’s bag, which contained the Earth Stone.
The Ore Fiend looked at him for a while before grabbing the bag.
Sadly, Kyle wasn’t fast enough, and the Ore Fiend got the bag.
Then, it threw the bag into its mouth and chewed it.
It swallowed the ore inside the bag while spitting the broken back out again.
"That’s it! No more ore!" Kyle shouted as he sat down.
The Ore Fiend kept looking at him.
Sweat ran down Kyle’s entire body.
How was he supposed to handle this situation?!
If he allowed the Ore Fiend to steal his stuff, it might start eating all of his stuff.
But if he angered it, it might kill him.
So, Kyle just sat down and refused to move.
For ten minutes, the Ore Fiend just looked at Kyle.
It was not a nice feeling to have something like this constantly looking at him.
Yet, Kyle just kept sitting down.
Two hours passed.
Nothing happened.
’What the fuck am I supposed to do?!’ Kyle thought as he refused to look at the Ore Fiend. ’Is this thing just going to stand there forever?!’
Another hour passed.
The Ore Fiend never looked away.
Then, it suddenly moved its hand to Kyle’s hammer.
Kyle immediately jumped away.
"No! That’s mine!" he shouted.
Then, Kyle formed a fist and hit the wall.
BOOOM!
The wall shook a slight bit, but no stones broke off.
"I can’t get food without my hammer!" he said.
The Ore Fiend looked at Kyle.
Then, it formed a fist.
BOOOOOOOM!
And hit the wall.
Stones flew absolutely everywhere!
Kyle had to protect his head from all the debris, while the Ore Fiend didn’t need to do anything.
The Ore Fiend noticed a couple of Earth Stones in the debris and looked at them.
It picked one of the stones up while staring at it.
Then, it split the Earth Stone into two pieces and handed Kyle one half.
’It worked!’ Kyle thought.
"Thank you," Kyle said, eating his half of the stone.
Meanwhile, the Ore Fiend ate the other half.
That was when Kyle noticed an Ether Pebble in the debris.
He held it up, and at the same time, the Ore Fiend handed another piece of Earth Stone to him.
"Wait a second," Kyle said.
Kyle grabbed an entire piece of Earth Stone and put it on the ground.
Then, he put the Ether Pebble beside it.
The Ore Fiend watched.
Kyle took the Ether Pebble and handed the entire Earth Stone to the Ore Fiend.
"Do you understand? I take the bad stones, and you take the good ones," Kyle said.
The Ore Fiend looked at the two stones and ate the Earth Stone Kyle handed to it.
Next, the Ore Fiend picked up another piece of Earth Stone and halved it.
When it offered one half to Kyle, he just shook his head.
He retrieved one of the Ether Pebbles and showed it.
"These are mine," Kyle said.
He gently pushed the Ore Fiend’s hand back.
"These are yours."
The Ore Fiend looked at its hand before eating the Earth Stone.
It kept consuming all the Earth Stones it found.
Eventually, it found another Ether Pebble, and it looked at Kyle.
It handed the Ether Pebble to Kyle, and he accepted it with a smile.
"Thank you."
The Ore Fiend looked at Kyle.
Then, it opened its mouth.
"Uuuhhh."
A weird and ungodly noise came out of its mouth.
"Sure thing," Kyle said with a nod.
Then, Kyle grabbed his hammer and started to mine himself.
He focused on the area containing all the Ether Pebbles and started to pocket them.
Whenever he found an Earth Stone, he threw it to the Ore Fiend.
After a couple of minutes, Kyle looked over to the Ore Fiend, and he gulped.
’This thing is mining fast!’
The Ore Fiend had already created a huge hall that was over ten meters wide.
If this thing continued like this, the tunnels would collapse.
’How am I supposed to teach this thing about the structural integrity of a mine?!’
That was when Kyle noticed all of the debris that was gathering in the tunnel.
The exit of the tunnel was already starting to be blocked.
’I gotta get out of here!’
Kyle approached the exit of the tunnel.
"Who is living out here?"
That was when Kyle heard a gruff shout from a person.
’Fucking! Why did I build a fucking house?!’ Kyle thought.
Kyle looked at the growing debris, the widening tunnel, the mining Earth Fiend, and his house from where the shout had come.
Too much shit was going down at the same time!
"We are guards from Forest Haven, and we are searching for a suspect!" the man shouted, his voice coming from inside the house.
’Suspect?!’ Kyle thought.
’Are they searching for me?!’
’Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!’
Kyle looked around in panic.
’Can’t go out! Can’t stay here!’
That was when Kyle charged at a pile of debris and dug into it like some kind of lizard.
In a matter of seconds, he was covered in stones.
The tunnel kept shaking.
"We know someone is here!" the guard shouted, his voice coming from inside the tunnel.
"Uuuuhh."
When the guards heard the ungodly noise, they pulled out their weapons.
The next moment, the Ore Fiend looked out from its own hall.
"Uuuuuhh."
When the guards saw that, their eyes opened in terror.
"Ore Fiend!" they shouted.
