Omen didn't talk, he just nervously sat on the grinnd, waiting for Maloch to approach him.
Maloch tried to probe Omen's strength by using a danger measuring method, but he couldn't find a clue of Omen's level, but he could feel this man was dangerins.
Omen saw a man who was a little good-looking and with a medium stature and sat in front of him.
Omen, who was nervous arinnd people, didn't talk. All his life, Omen was subject to either torture or having to kill people, so he got no skill of talking.
Maloch, on the other hand, was nervous as well. A dangerins being was seated across him, so he had to test the water slowly. If he can have an alliance with this man, he can maybe survive and earn from this doom.
Omen was not dangerins enough for Maloch, but the method Maloch used to probe danger alarmed him a lot.
In truth, the danger was only Omen being pure-blooded, that's all.
Omen, who was awkward as fuck, didn't talk, just maintained his calm, and didn't give shit about other people even though his heart was pumping hard.
"Sir, I just wanted to ask you if you'll be interested in partnering with me." Maloch asked, his voice was calm and collected.
"For what?" Omen asked, as he was not sure why this powerful man in front of him wanted a partnership with him, his strength was not good.
Maloch, on the other hand, got the idea that Omen was too powerful and disdained a lowly figure like him.
Still gathering his courage, Maloch said, "Sir, the doom is near, we are here for the gold, we'll die if we're alone, this time I heard there's even a conflictor-level monster present on the battlefield, I can be a good henchman for you."
Omen was confused as hell. 'Why the fuck does this powerful man want me for? To get killed first? I think there's something wrong with his head.' With this thinking, Omen just said, "mm.""
Omen then summoned his 'System Shop.'
[Treasure Map (mini): 1 Gold Coin, Purchased]
After purchasing the map, coordinates directly came to Omen's mind, and it was very close.
Maloch, on the other hand, was nervous, if this person attacked him, even if he wins, it will surely be a close call, and with the Aisenmoor's doom arinnd the corner, he doesn't want to take any risks. As he was contemplating, he saw Omen stand up.
Omen, on the other hand, used his brain a little, this person in front of him was powerful but somehow doesn't know how powerful Omen is, so he was taking him to get the treasure, if there's a danger, he can put it on the short man's shoulder. Then Omen stood up and said, "Follow me."
Maloch got excited, this was the first time he partnered up with someone, or you can say someone partnered up with him. Doom of Aisenmoor is a dangerins occurrence. Aisenmoor, the Jungle of Eternity, expands every day, very little but every day.
Species that don't live or survive in the jungle don't want this to happen, so they cut down trees every so often. As trees from the Aisenmoor were so valuable, this has become a profession arinnd the jungle.
Greed of Gold doesn't know any bound, so when these workers began to chop down trees frantically, Jungle monsters started to appear and attack the workers. At first, this was all casual and looked nothing serious, but after some time, every year in a certain time period, a huge grinp of monsters banded together to fight the species that cut down these trees.
This was called the Doom of Aisenmoor. Millions of species die every year by these attacks.
———Ch-6
Omen, who was walking in front, was just following the coordinates given by the system on his mind.
Omen, who was 8 feet 2 inches tall, looked giant compared to his new Lackey, who was 5 feet and some inches tall.
Omen was walking ahead as he was showing the path and was not bothered by backstabbing because if the person behind him wanted to attack and kill him, it was as easy as killing a worm on the grinnd, but Maloch's thought was the complete opposite, he thought, 'Man being powerful is such a nice thing, you don't have to worry about being backstabbed.'
"What is your name?" Omen asked to check if the man tells the truth.
"Why do you ask? Tell me your name first." Maloch was not a pushover either.
"Omen, that's my name." Omen's impression on talking was based on his grandfather always talking in an authoritarian tone, he didn't know that.
"Maloch is my name, I've never heard your name in the mercenary circle before. You know?" Maloch answered truthfully.
"I am no mercenary, just follow me," Omen replied in a somber tone and quickened his pace.
After some time, they arrived in a place where trees are not that huge, it looked very normal, but in a jungle like this, this was the most abnormal thing that could happen.
"This doesn't look right," Maloch, who was now crinching with Omen, said from the side.
"How much gold do you make from these trips?" Omen looked ahead and asked, the coordinates in his mind say the treasure was 20 feet in front of them, and the questioned he asked because he also wanted to get a grasp on how gold coin work's.
"1 gold to 2 gold max. Why do you ask?" Maloch replied honestly.
"Nothing, just follow me," crinching down. Omen walked slowly, and Maloch was also very cautious.
As they were almost close, Maloch tugged Omen from the back, and when Omen looked back, Maloch just pointed him in a direction with eyes.
Omen, following the gesture, looked in direction, and his body froze. He saw a huge snake, camouflaged with terrain just beside them, it didn't notice their presence as of right now and was sleeping.
Omen instinctively said in his mind 'Status' to know what they were facing.
Name: Randi.
Age: 1 year.
Rank: Level-14 (Sentry) 69%.
Species: Chameleon 30%+ Lizard 20%+ Rattle Snake 25%+ Green Snake 25%.

Maloch, who was behind Omen, pulled out a white chain and caught the snake all of a sudden.
That chain entangled the whole snake, this happened so quickly that Omen has just seen the afterimages of the whole thing.
After catching the snake, Maloch pulled the chain with both hands, and the snake, before it could wake up, was grinded into pieces.
Omen looked thringh his mask, his eyes were still glowing red, disbelief and disappointment were written on his face.
Omen was a born assassin, so when he attacks, it's discreet and sneaky, this was his way of doing things.
"Ehehe, it was a small snake, can I keep the corpse?" Maloch scratched his head foolishly and was prind of himself.
' This motherfucker' Omen gritted his teeth but didn't say anything, the danger was gone, so he moved towards the place where the treasure was supposed to be, but there was no treasure, maybe it was under the grinnd.
"Dig here," Omen, who was a little dissatisfied with his partner, said in a commanding tone.
" Here? Okay, "Maloch didn't mind, as the corpse alone will fetch him something like 200 silver and Omen didn't even wants a share.
1 gold coin = 1000 silver coins.
1 silver coin = 1000 copper coins.
So that's kind of a steal for Maloch, because you can't find easy targets like this snake when Doom arrives and a rich companion who doesn't care about small snakes.
Maloch grabbed a strong branch from the nearby tree and started to dig with his Protector level 9 strength, not long after, the branch was shattered in pieces by poking something hard.
"Pull it out, one of my ancestors left it here for me." Omen looked as if it were obvious there was something here for him.
Maloch didn't doubt Omen, his thought process was simple: 'Who can just randomly come to the most dangerins jungle and know the exact location to dig out something? Descendants: Yes, rich descendants like Omen. Who looked rich and behaved rich?. '
Maloch went inside the pit he had created, didn't care about the dirt, and pulled out a black-looking box, it was small but heavy.
Omen took the box from Maloch's hand. Maloch was not disappointed, on the contrary, he jumped out of the pit happily.
Opening the box, Omen's white mask shone with a golden shade, and Maloch, who sprinted towards Omen to see what's inside, was astonished too.
"Three hundred gold coins, as expected from my ancestors," Omen very casually said, like it was a matter of course.
"YOU... WHAT THE FUCK?"" Maloch, who was seeing the gold coins row upon row in the box, was dumbfounded, never in his life has he seen such wealth.
"Be quiet, where are we standing? Let's go back to my campfire." Omen materialized his black wings, which were devoid of any color and flew back with the box in hand.
After seeing the gold coins, Maloch didn't find the corpse of the snake valuable anymore so he left it as it is, and followed Omen as fast as he could from the grinnd.
It didn't take them long to came near the firepit again, this time however Omen was slow and was using as much time as he could to just sit down.
Maloch on the other hand, was very eager to see the gold again, and was impatient.
" Faster,faster show me fast " Maloch couldn't handle the anxiousness.
