Zynx was about to say, it was you who told me, but he realized she was airhead not the scatter-brained.
Zynx searched in his mind for a suitable answer and finally got one.
"I heard from Zynx"
She placed her index finger on chin and began to ponder and as if realized something, she took out a black scroll and unroll it in front of him.
"Is it him?"
Zynx intensely gazed at the picture but could not determine whose picture it was as there was only a white curved line in it and nothing more.
He focused, trying to understand what it was, after some time he discerned.
'Is this me? Even the five years old can draw better than this.'
If not for that white color, then he would not even have recognized it.
"Yes, it is him." (Zynx)
She became excited and asked.
"Where is he now?" (Faustina)
"Do you know the village called 'Anautho'?" (Zynx)
"Yes." (Faustina)
"He is waiting for you in there." (Zynx)
Zynx need Faustina to take him to the village and for Faustina, Zynx (Snake) was important as it was one of the successful experiments of her, so he was sure she would agree to visit that village with him.
Like he had thought Faustina agreed.
"Thank you for telling me. I will immediately travel there." (Faustina)
After saying this, Faustina ran toward a north-east direction.
Seeing her running with just thanks, Zynx also ran after her and stop her.
He could not let her go alone, otherwise, who would protect him and even if she reached village before him, how could she find Zynx (snake) when he was not in there.
There was a chance of meeting her again, so he didn't want to be an unreliable guy in front of her.
"You may not know the exact location of him in the village. How about I escort you there?"
Faustina thought for a second and agreed.
"Ok, let's go." (Faustina)
Zynx could feel she was really in hurry but before traveling he had to take care of one matter.
"Faustina, can you wait here for a second?" (Zynx)
She nodded.
Zynx went behind the tree and summoned his clone.
He was planning to give 'Raven cloth ring' to him but saw that he was already wearing it, so he dismissed the idea.
He could only stay in human form for 1 hour and 40 min in a day so, he decided to exchange a place with his clone.
Zynx reverted to the snake and found out that his scale had turned into black due to the 'Raven cloth ring'.
He thought, 'Although this ring doesn't provide any defense, its function was really suitable for me.'
After that, he used his clone and stored his main body inside void storage.
Although he could stay around his clone by using stealth, since he could deceive Faustina, he didn't think it would be safe because there was another creature that might have a strong sense and could detect him.
He didn't need to breathe, so he thought it was possible to stay inside void storage.
When he got inside, he looked around and found out that it was quite spacious after leveling up.
Although he was inside, he could use his clone alike the main body so there was not much difference.
The only exception was the reduction in his strength, but Faustina was beside him, so he didn't have to worry about clone safety.
…
Zynx arrived in front of Faustina and said,
"Now, we can go." (Zynx)
Although he had got the location from wizard it was not accurate, so he just followed Faustina. Whenever they encountered a monster, Faustina would use one attack, splitting them into pieces and stored those carcasses so that she could resurrect them later.
Zynx had neither obtained experience point nor bloodline point; this was not what he wanted. So he said,
"If you separate their body pieces like this, then it will be hard for them to resurrect because their body parts will be mixed up with each other." (Zynx)
'That must be why my resurrection was unsuccessful.' (Faustina)
She also thought he was right, so she asked.
"Then what should I do?" (Faustina)
Zynx summoned 10 poison spears from his storage space and gave that to her.
"Use this to kill them."
He had turned off the poison inside it so it looked just like the crystal spear because of its transparency.
…
Later when they encountered a monster, Faustina used her wind element to control spear and sent them to the monster killing them. Although it took a longer time than before, he could obtain experience, so he was fine with it.
[Level: 4/10 (12.5%)]
'Ha-ha, it really works.' (Zynx)
Now his next target was their carcasses, so when he saw Faustina about to store carcasses, he stopped her.
"I have a skill which has a higher chance of resurrection. Do you want to see?" (Zynx)
She was interested in every resurrection thing, so she nodded.
He placed his hand on the monster and used 'Essence conversion'.
[Essence containers – 2%]
[Time require to purify essence – 30 min]
…
"Sorry, it failed." (Zynx)
"Don't worry. It must be because the monster was not pure. You will be able to do it next time." (Faustina)
When 'Essence conversion' was used on a creature, their essence would be absorbed by the user and the non-absorbed part was changed to dust similar to when someone was burned, so Faustina totally believed on him.
"Is there a way to obtain this skill?" (Faustina)
"If I successfully resurrect 100 more creatures, then it is possible to teach others." (Zynx)
She took out beforehand carcasses and gave that to him.
"Take all these carcasses and tried it on them." (Faustina)
"This skill can only be used single time in an hour, so we have to wait." (Zynx)
Clone needs more time than the main body, therefore, he thought it was better to do it through the main body.
She felt disappointed but still nodded while he stored all carcasses inside the void storage and the main body began to convert it.
After that, he would use 'Spiritual sense' and made a little adjustment in the route, so that they could encounter a monster group.
…
3 days later,
"10 minutes later, we will be able to see 'Anautho village'." (Faustina)
Zynx became happy when he heard that.
Although they had only taken 4 hours of rest in a day, he didn't expect to arrive this fast.
In this 3 day of hunting, both experience and bloodline of his had been leveled up by two levels, so he thought it was a good decision to travel with her.
10 minutes later, they arrived at the cliff instead of the village, so he asked,
"Where is the village?" (Zynx)
Faustina pointed down.
Zynx walked to the edge of the cliff and looked downward. He really saw some construction in there.
There was no path so Zynx didn't know how they would get down, but he believed that Faustina knew the way.
Faustina said,
"let's go."
She then tapped on his shoulder.
After that, he felt wind hitting on his face and enlargement of beforehand construction.
