Thorndamn

" It's been a while, Deviant ... " Rangga greets Thorndamn.

" It seems you've been killed more early ... " Rangga teases the Deviant as he remembers that Thorndamn always gets killed in the year of 2029,2030 and 2031 (E.Y.).

Hearing that, Thorndam laughs as he tells Rangga that in this Timeline, the Diviners had the advantage over the Deviants since they blocked the Mana Flow on earth as they changes the events more drastically this time.

" Yes yes yes .... say it what you like .... " Thorndamn can only laugh from all Rangga's mocking.

" But you must know that thanks to their knowledge from every Timeline, the Diviner now knows how to eliminate our threats completely. " Thorndamn tells Rangga.

" Of course ... "

" By monopolizing the flow of Mana in every planet, is it? " Rangga says to the Deviant as he recounts to him everything that he knows in this Timeline.

" I see ..... so the reason why the humans 'still' worship them is that they were gifted these 'fake' powers huh ...? " Thorndamn says as Rangga explains to him about the Metahuman in this Timeline which makes Thorndamn interested as he remembers being defeated by one before (that's why he is like this right now (Dead) ).

" Oh that one is called Undefeated, my soon going to be Grandfather !!! " Rangga tells Thorndamn as he tells him about his grandmother being together with the no.1 Hero although he himself still doesn't know how it happened.

Hearing that Thorndam then smirks as he then changes the topic where he asks why is Rangga calling him right now from his very remains as he then tells Rangga that he didn't want someone to ask some things from him right now.

As he says that, Rangga then tells Thorndamn that he didn't come here to ask him for wealth or things like that .... no, but ...

" Sorry thorny one ... I never want to pray to other beings, other than the creator himself (the God not the Diviners). "

" But still, I come here because I want to take this very horn remnant of yours ... " Rangga says to the Deviant.

" Will you let me have it ...? " Rangga asks him nicely.

As he says that, Max then telepathically asks him, why did Rangga asks such a thing to a Deviant and Rangga replies that he needs the Horn for his own craftings.

" An interesting request ... " Thorndamn tells him.

" But sadly, since this is the last remaining part of my living vessel then .. "

" I'm afraid I can't give it freely to you .... " Thorndamn tells Rangga as he explains that in order to prevent his soul from returning into the cycle, Thorndamn must use all of his remaining body parts as his vessel since it anchors his soul in the mortal plane.

" Sorry .... " Thorndamn tells Rangga which makes him have to turn his brain around to make it away for Thorndamn to agree to give the horn to him as Rangga then finds an idea which is.

" Hey Thorndamn ... I have a suggestion .... " Rangga tells him.

" How about I forge this Horn into a weapon of my liking ...? "

" Would've it been fun ..., especially for a brutal beast like you? " Rangga asks the Deviant as the Deviant himself then gets what he wants.

" Oho I see .... so you want to make a weapon out of me ... huh? " Thorndamn tells him that is a very interesting idea since he was very bored being trapped in one place as he then tells Rangga that.

" But ... before I let you take me, I must make sure that you are worthy to have me ... "

" By giving you some trials first ... " Thorndamns says as the System then automatically interprets the word into a Quest.

< Quest: >

< Defeat Thorndamn >

...

As the quest banner appears, Thorndamn then awakens from its horn, shifting its appearance as it turns the Horn into a mini version of his former self which looked more spikey than before he then tells Rangga that in order for Rangga to have him then he must prove his worthiness first as Thorndamn attacks him.

As he attacks, Rangga then smirks as he then equips his weapon which is a Mace and a Shield as he then charges toward the Deviant to prove his worthiness.

" C'mon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Rangga shouts at him as he deals the first blow.

( Meanwhile)

On the other side of the place, Yukino is sneaking in every part of the room as she neutralizes the butler in his place while looking for every evidence regarding the two boys she followed earlier.

" Now where did they go ...? " Yukino says as she makes way to the security room as she stumbles upon the camera monitor as then rewinds back every recording of the previous hours.

" There ...., they at that room ... " Yukino says as she then leaps into the vent as her enhancement sense something coming into the room while she hides in that ventilation place.

At that moment, she hears footsteps coming in, which turns out to be a monster-like figure as the suit reveals it to be the head of security in that place.

"( A monster .... as the head security? )" Yukino says as she looks at it eating his food which makes her wonder more about the place that she is currently following the boys in.

"( Just what is this place ...? )" Yukino wonders to herself as she leaves the room from the vent in order to find the two boys while seeing the things below her, which is a room of guards, bringing some monster parts which makes her feel disgusted as she assumes that this is must be an illegal shop which she then dismisses the idea to call for the police and then look for the two boys.

....

( Back to Rangga and the others. )

As Rangga fights with Thorndamn's spirit, Max then asks Black Merchant M how did he get his hands on that horn while the Black Merchant then tells Max that he had some connections with some smugglers inside the Protection of Nations, as he brags about the P.N.'s security is so easy to sway since they never actually cared for the monster's remnants since they still can't find the usefulness from it unlike him.

" Unlike those profit-seeking idiots, I and my colleagues (the other Black Merchants) find that the wild monster's remnants are not all useless since they can actually be reproduced as something better, for instance, a weapon, an enhancement, a magic item, and etc etc etc ... " Black Merchant M tells Max which makes him curious as he asks the Black Merchant if he's a Manahuman too like Rangga which the Black Merchant then denies and shows his skin from his gloves.

" I see .... so you're a monster .... huh? " Max asks him.

" A sentient one, I suppose .... " Black Merchant tells Max that some of them, the monsters had evolved into more civilized forms during the ages for some reason as he tells Max that some of the monsters now received a gift called the 'sentience' which is.

" I see ..... so you're a monster but with human-like brains and attitudes huh? "

" And seems, you lot didn't have a taste for humans .. " Max says to the Black Merchant while he replies with a nod and says.

" You can say that .. "

" Although not some of us are willing to abandon our original appetite towards humans ... " the Black Merchant says to him while both of them watch Rangga fighting the Spirit Manifestation of the Deviant Thorndamn.

" Is that your best, Thorndamn !!!!!???? " Rangga asks the Deviant.

" Oh no mortal !!!!!!!!!! "

" You haven't seen anything !!!!!!!!!!!! " Thorndamn counters his words as he shows his abilities.
