Looking at the screen in front of me, I could not help but frown slightly while scratching my chin.
Stretching out my hand, I opened my palm and waited, and a few seconds later, I watched as something fell onto it.
I was slightly surprised that the heart didn't stain my hand with blood, but after thinking back to how strong the system was and everything it could do, I could not help but sigh and use appraisal.
[King Blizzard Bear's heart: The heart of a King Blizzard Bear has a 33% chance of giving the consumer an ice affinity. The chance increased to 66% if the consumer has a water affinity.]
"I see..."
However, before I could try and consume it right off the bat, I heard a shaky voice enter my ears from behind me.
"W-Who are you! Are you an Elf?"
Rage flashed in my face for a split second, but I quickly neutralized my expression and looked back with a gaze much colder than our environment.
"Do I look like an elf?" I asked, my could voice echoing in the snowy landscape. However, to my surprise, the man in front of me did not look fazed in the least and instead stood in his place with a dark expression and killing intent seeping out of his body.
"It doesn't matter what you-"
"Didn't you see me just save you? And this is how a member of the beast kin race repays me... How sad." I cut him off, yet unlike my words which indicated that I was disappointed by his actions, my voice and gaze gave a whole new meaning to my words.
Indirectly, I was telling him to retract his aura and leave before I would kill him, and Klive knew that too.
"How can I make sure that you won't attack us?" Asked Klive.
Yet, before I could answer, I felt three individuals dash towards me from the side while one of their voices rang out in both Klive and my ears.
"Don't touch my big brother Klive!" One of them shouted and dashed towards me with a spear held tightly in his grip as he thrust it forward.
"Zyder, don't!" Klive roared out, but it was too late.
Zyder's spear was right next to my neck, and with the snap of my wrist, it was obliterated instantly.
Zyder could only look at the splinters of his spear as they flew into the air, yet before he could attempt to stop his momentum, he saw a hand reach toward his face with a malicious red aura surrounding it.
"NOOOOOO!" Klive roared and tried to lung forward in time, but before he could get a fraction closer, my hand had already appeared in front of the boy's face. At the same time, my claws were spread out wide so they could encapsulate the boy's head within them, making it very easy for me to close my hand into a fist and snuff the life out of him.
Zyder slowly shut his eyelids and waited for his end. Memories of his life flashed before his eyes, yet all he could do now was regret his decisions, but the sharp pain he was waiting for never came.
"Don't be stupid." My voice entered his ears, making him hesitantly open his eyes, hoping that his head was still intact with the rest of his body.
"If I wanted to kill you, nothing would have stopped me, not even your big brother, who was shaking in his boots." I pointed at Klive, who was on the verge of crying; his knees had buckled under the sudden relief he felt when Zyder's head hadn't exploded into a million pieces.
"Your two as well, while you might not be as stupid as this one-" I retracted my crimson ethereal claws back into my skin and pointed at Zyder.
"-You two should have started to run already, as only then would you have had a chance at surviving in hopes that I can't see through the snow storm." I explained, causing her tear-filled face of Ryla to look down at the snow-filled ground while the other glared at me with contempt.

Appearing in front of the boy looking at me with contempt-filled eyes, I watched him retreat in fear before his back finally hit the wall of the crevis that Klive had put them in.
"I-I'm sorry." The boy apologized while his legs began to shake. I could see the fear in his eyes, yet instead of saying anything else, I disappeared once more before appearing in front of Klive.
"How hurt are you?" I asked him, causing him to widen his eyes in surprise. It wasn't that there hadn't been people of other races helping beastkin out or that there was some kind of hatred between each race; it was just that he didn't expect someone who released such an aura to help him so casually.
"Not too injured-" Klive tried to stand up, but his knees buckled again and caused him to fall to the ground while grimacing in pain.
"You were saying?" I asked, my cold expression not fading in the least.
"Okay, I'll need a little bit of help..." He replied, his face now a shade of red due to the embarrassment he felt after trying to act tough in front of his 'little siblings.'
I knew from a single glance that they weren't related, and for some reason, I felt my blood eyes tell me the same thing as if I would somehow know who was related and who was not by taking a single glance at them.
Ignoring this weird feeling, I got up and stretched out a hand for Klive to grab and use as support, and after a few moments of hesitation that I also chose to ignore, he grabbed onto my hand and pulled himself up with an expression filled with pain.
