Reborn as a Useless Noble with my SSS-Class Innate Talent-Chapter 50: Ch : Seducting the Lord - part 1

Kyle knelt beside the Frozen Armoured Bear he had just slain, his fingers brushing over its icy hide.

Before he could examine it further, a powerful aura pulsed through the air, not far from where he stood.

His eyes narrowed.

Something strong was nearby.

He turned to Melissa.

"Stay here. Take care of the hides."

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

Melissa, still recovering, straightened up at his words.

"I’ll protect them with my life,"

She declared, gripping her sword tightly.

Kyle didn’t respond, just gave a small nod before heading toward the source of the powerful presence.

He moved swiftly through the trees, letting his instincts guide him.

The air grew colder as he entered a small clearing.

There, standing like a ruler of the frozen lands, was a massive Frozen Armoured Bear—far larger than any he had encountered before.

Unlike the others, its coat had a deep red hue, its thick fur bristling with power.

Kyle’s eyes gleamed with excitement. He could tell immediately that this one was different. Stronger.

A worthy challenge.

The beast finally took notice of him. Their eyes met, and in an instant, the Frozen Armoured Bear charged.

Kyle’s body moved before he could think.

He dodged just in time, the sheer force of the bear’s attack shaking the ground where he once stood. He felt something unusual—the faint leak of mana from the beast.

Unlike the other Frozen Armoured Bears, this one had a natural flow of mana within its body.

Kyle slashed at its thick hide, but his blade barely made a scratch.

The beast was powerful, its defenses far tougher than its kin. But Kyle wasn’t discouraged. Instead, he felt exhilarated.

As he dodged another strike, his keen senses picked up something else—a core forming beneath the bear’s thick coat. His heartbeat quickened.

A core meant power, and power meant an opportunity. If he could obtain it, he could strengthen his familiar.

The Frozen Armoured Bear let out a deafening roar and raised its massive paw, prepared to strike.

Kyle saw his chance. He tightened his grip on his sword, focusing his mana into the blade. The moment the paw came down, he slashed upward, cutting through its thick armor.

But he miscalculated.

’This worthless body. When will I get used to it?’

His control over the mana was still lacking, and the surge of power in his attack went beyond what he intended.

The force nearly shattered the core within the beast.

Kyle’s eyes widened in realization. He had almost ruined the very thing he wanted.

Luckily, his blade had missed the core by a fraction. The beast collapsed with a heavy thud, its massive body lifeless.

"Looks like I will have to build up muscle memory before I can try another tougher hunt."

Kyle let out a slow breath. That was close.

Sheathing his sword, he stepped toward the fallen creature. His gaze landed on the core hidden beneath its fur.

This was a rare find, one that would make Queen much stronger.

"What a rare find. Looks like my luck is incredibly good today."

A smirk tugged at his lips. This hunt had been worth it.

Kyle whistled, and within moments, Queen soared down from the sky, landing gracefully beside him.

It’s sharp eyes gleamed with curiosity as its eyed the fallen beast. Kyle reached into the massive corpse, pulled out the glowing core, and held it up.

"This is for you."

He said.

Queen didn’t hesitate. It snapped up the core, swallowing it whole. Almost instantly, it’s body shuddered, and it collapsed onto the ground.

Kyle crouched beside it, placing a hand on her warm feathers.

He could feel the powerful surge of mana spreading through its body, being absorbed and refined. He wasn’t worried.

This was part of the process.

Minutes passed before Queen finally stirred. It let out a small chirp, shaking it’s head before standing up again. Its feathers looked shinier, its eyes sharper.

Kyle smirked.

"Now, try transforming into the Frozen Armoured Bear."

Queen chirped again, then closed its eyes. A faint glow surrounded its body as its form began to shift.

Within seconds, it grew larger, its feathers retracting into thick fur. Its talons turned into massive claws, its beak flattening into a snout.

Before Kyle stood a perfect replica of the Frozen Armoured Bear—except for the sharp glint of intelligence in its eyes.

Kyle walked up and patted its thick hide.

"Good. You can transform back now."

With another shimmer, Queen returned to its original form. It let out a triumphant screech, as if proud of its new ability.

Kyle nodded in satisfaction.

"Let’s head back."

When they returned to the village, Kyle immediately noticed the crowd gathered around the Frozen Armoured Bear corpses.

The villagers wore shocked expressions, whispering among themselves.

Kyle stepped forward.

"The meat is yours. I just want the fur."

Gasps spread through the crowd. For a village where food was often scarce, this was a generous gift.

The village leader, an old man with a hunched back and sharp eyes, stepped forward. He bowed deeply.

"Lord Kyle, we are eternally grateful. This will feed our people for weeks. We owe you a great debt."

Kyle waved a hand dismissively.

"No need."

Before the old man could protest, Bruce stepped in, smiling.

"Village leader, let’s talk later about how you can repay this favor properly."

The old man nodded quickly, understanding the hint.

Kyle then turned to Bruce.

"There’s something else. A ’special’ Frozen Armoured Bear out in the clearing. I want to keep that one."

Bruce frowned but followed Kyle’s direction, leading a small group of elders toward the clearing.

When they arrived and saw the massive red-coated bear, everyone froze in shock.

"A red-hide Frozen Armoured Bear? I’ve never seen anything like this before. Isn’t that just a myth?"

One of the elders whispered.

The village leader’s eyes widened in awe.

"A creature so rare… and Lord Kyle defeated it alone?"

Murmurs of amazement spread through the group. The villagers were convinced now—Kyle Armstrong was no ordinary noble.
