Chapter 159: The White Tiger Pup

The white tiger's appearance is quite pitiful though due to the number of whip lashes on its body. Some of the whip lashes hit so hard on its skin that the white fur was removed, revealing its wounded skin.

"Inari-sama."

With my call, Inari-sama appeared behind me.

"Master. Healing this little guy is will take a while due to the whip's special property," Inari-sama said before she approached the white tiger who is too weak to even properly move.

"The whip's special property?"

"Yes. I can tell that the whip has a spell invoked on it that lowers the healing capabilities that will be applied to this little guy. In short, this white tiger will suffer from wounds that will heal very slow."

"Can you remove it?"

"It is a type of dark curse so removing it is easy. You don't need to worry about it. I just needed some time and if any people will disturb me, I have to do it in the very beginning again."

"Alright then. Help this little guy with its predicament. I will guard you."

Inari-sama nodded and started to heal the white tiger. Meanwhile, I move towards the broken whip that has I have destroyed earlier to render the enemy from fighting in long ranges. I didn't notice it at first but now that I have taken a closer look at the whip, it was indeed enchanted with some spell. I can't tell what the spell is but based on its aura, it is a debuff spell that lowers any stat parameters or effects. Since Inari-sama said it has a healing reduction spell every hit, then it really must be the effect of this.

Still, I am doubting that it was the only debuff it can make. Even though I didn't smell it, it has some sort of weird pungent smell that I have never smelled before. Maybe it has something to do with its effect.

"Kazuma, you can extract the spell of that whip and use it for yourself. Even if you dispose of the whip, the ability of the whip is not something you can easily learn making it important," Blue said before I can even throw the weapon away from me.

"Extract the spell? I have no experience in doing things like that!"

"I know how to do it so just follow my instructions and you can finally use the spell for your benefit."

Healing reduction spells are great against enemies like demons who have tricks on their sleeves that allowed them to get healed in the middle of combat so when Blue asked me to extract the spell, I didn't hesitate about it. This is a free estate, why deny it?

The process was a little bit complicated at first but I managed to do it without messing up. I just blindly followed Blue's instruction. It was just a quick extract so it didn't last that long.

"Alright. I have analyzed the spell. It is some sort of passive-type magic spell. Once you learn it, you can immediately use it. If you wanted the spell, I will post the instructions on learning it."

"Okay, but I won't learn it right now since I need more concentration. Let's explore the place for now since it is a room and some suspicious items are lying around here and there."

There are cages but it didn't take up that much space compared to the number of cages I have seen in the room where the slaves were kept. I can also tell that other animals are being held here before due to the smell permeating in the air. But since I don't see any animals here except this white tiger, then it must have been sold already. Looks like I am too late. I checked the image of the room using [Insight] but sadly, there are no hidden rooms where I can say they might have some sort of potential loot.

There is also some stack of books available but they are not worthy to read much. Other than that, nothing catches my eye. Just when I was about to move away from all the clutter and go back to guarding, my feet stumbled on one crate, causing it to fall. When it fell, I saw something shiny and red on the ground and I frowned.

"What is this?" pulling the thing out of the clutter, I found out it was some sort of bottle of liquid that is glowing a little bit.

"Hey! Kazuma, don't throw that away!"

"Huh?"

"That thing is precious! Don't ever throw it!"

"Just what is inside this bottle? This looks like normal water to me that only shines with some small light flashing inside."

"It is quite precious. I will talk about that later, just keep it safe for now. Don't worry about the bottle since that is not an ordinary bottle either. That won't be destroyed whatever physical abuse you do on that."

"I am confused but since you are going to explain it later, I will keep it for now," I said before stuffing it inside my pocket.

After trying to see if there are any other kinds of things hidden on the box that I toppled over but to my disappointment, there is nothing worth noting. I checked Inari-sama and the white tiger. Inari-sama smiled as she cast a healing spell on the white tiger.

"Master, the healing reduction spell that was applied to this poor creature has now been removed. I am just giving it some healing and blessing spell to allow this guy to immediately recover from its wounds."

"Thanks as always Inari-sama. By the way, is this a white tiger? I am not sure if it was the same tiger I always see in zoos."

"No, Master. This is a magic beast."

"Magic Beast? This little guy?"

"Yes, Master. However, even though it is a magic beast, it is too weak at the moment due to exhaustion and also it is still young to be away from its parents. It will die if no one takes the role of the mother of it so I suggest you adopt this one Master."

"Huh? But that is a tiger! Surely my neighbors will freak out if they see this one!"

"Don't worry Master. This tiger looks like a dog at first since it is still a pup. Once it grows big and strong like Kon, this guy will be able to undergo into its spiritual form and physical form at will. We don't need to worry too much about our neighbors."

"If I am going to adopt it, where will I bring this guy? I can't carry this little guy all day around me and I still have some enemies to fight."

"Don't worry Master. Since it is a Magic Beast, I can easily help this little guy go in spiritual form and bring it along with me to the spiritual realm where we stay when we are not summoned by you."

"If that is the case, I beg you to take this guy in, Inari-sama."

"No worries. I don't want to abandon this kid too," Inari-sama said as she takes the tiger from the ground and lifts it. She returned to her spiritual form and returned to my spiritual realm alongside the little tiger.

Since the matters that Gakuto heard from the rumors are true, that means it is time to purge this place and return it to its former glory.

[Insight!]

Activating my [Insight], I memorized all the locations of the enemies stationed around the Underground Mall near me and rush towards them. I can't waste my time and just leave it be.

...

Screams and whacking sounds can be heard in every corner of the Underground Mall. Due to the number of delinquents patrolling the area, it took me a while before I managed to even take out all of them. But to my confusion, I don't see the guy who caused all of this named Sho. I tried looking out for any secret walls too but there is none available right now.

"Did Sho already escaped?"

Then, my senses tingle when I feel something coming, I didn't make any late action and quickly crouch to the floor and a fireball smashed into the broken stall. Looking up, I saw the same guy that I saw talking to some businessman guy.

"Escape? You must be joking. Why would I escape to a person like you who has not yet even established himself? I can easily flick you off the map if I wanted to," the arrogant voice is very clear and this guy is Sho. The leader of the group, Riot Massacre.

"I don't talk to people like you," I said before making Enhancement on my leg and allowed me to burst in speed.

BOOM!

Since he was using flame magic, then I would be using electricity since my only water spell available to use is the Water Torrent.

"You won't talk to me? Then I will allow you to talk to me before you get beaten to death."
