When the father and son duo was still hugging each other, suddenly a dark and corrupted aura appeared. Looking at where the aura came from they saw one of the carnivorous flowers was glowing with a black corrupted aura
The three was taken aback at what happened. A certain type of energy particles in the surrounding flew towards the flower and was increasing its strength
"Just what is happening now?" Kence asked while narrowing his eyes. He didn't feel any danger coming from the flower and he just let it be for now
The original green colored carnivorous flower turned into an ashen black one. It was emitting a sinister aura of death. The end of the flower's petal elongated and it became pointy like if you touch it the flower will prick your finger
Its stem thickened and become five inches in diameter while the flower itself expanded into the size that was a bit bigger than a basketball. Its leaves on the other hand looked as if it lose all moisture.
Looking at the flower that was emitting an aura of death the three didn't know what to do about it. Although the flower transformed but it didn't look threatening and just continued munching on the corpse around. This time it didn't stop from eating just a single rotten corpse like usual, it actually ate more than ten before being satisfied!
Everyone will wonder just where on its body stored all the things it ate
Kence cautiously walk towards it and he was taken aback when he learned that it became a mid-stage Knight! Sensing Kence coming to him, the flower excitedly crawled to reach Kence
He thought that it will attack him and was ready to kill it but the flower intimately rub its head on his leg. Its actions was just like the flower Flora, they both showed a hint of intelligence. It looks like a docile kitten rubbing its fur on its owner
At this time, Flora crawled down from Kence's tree body and stand in front of the transformed carnivorous flower. The ashen black flower bowed its head as if the one in front of it was a Queen and the two of them crawled on Kence's tree body
What happened was so fast that the three didn't know how to react. However, for now the transformed flower didn't pose any threat to them so they decided to just let it be
Suddenly, Kence thought of something and he chased the flowers.
"System Identify!" If he can get information from the system that would be for the best
*Beep. Checking Host's Cultivation Base and Knowledge
Kence already did this for a few times and he become used to the feeling that something was scanning his whole body even though he still don't like the feeling
*Beep. Checking done. Criteria met. The corresponding energy will be deducted from the Host's body
As usual a transparent blue window appeared on his vision after a huge chunk of his energy was deducted
*Beep. Creature Identified
Race: Ghoul Flower
A type of flower that ate many corpses and successfully evolved into a Ghoul Flower and gained affinity to death energies
Maybe because his knowledge and cultivation base only barely met the criteria but just like to the Rainbowshade flower only the most basic information was given to him
'Death energy? So that's the sinister energy that we felt' Kence thought before his mind focused on the 'evolved' part
'It actually evolved!' Naturally, Kence knew what evolving means. It was different from breaking through in a rank but it has the same effect of making the creature stronger!
Even he still hasn't evolved! To think that the carnivorous flower will beat him to it! He can't wait for the time when it was finally his turn to evolve

Kence, King and Calter left the forest for Ivy, Cesar and Kence's tree body to defend while they are going to the Angel's Shop. Since they now have a base, they want to buy something from the shop. What they planned on buying was not something usual and common, they hoped that the shop would have it
The three didn't want to fight as much as possible because they want to be quick. Every second was important for them now as every second can make them stronger
Too bad that luck wasn't on their side. They didn't know what is it that attracted these creatures but once again a horde of fallen bees decided to attack them
"Seriously? Why does it have to be now?" If it was before, Kence would immediately cursed because of these bees thankfully his mental state became better in this past month. He now only felt helpless at the swarm of more than two hundred fallen bees that made them their target
"Bees really love us!" King joked, he wasn't even afraid of these many bees attacking them. Most of the bees are only in the Warrior Rank while only about fifty were in the Knight Rank
Fortunately, Grand Knight creatures were still rare at this time. What was surprising was that although there are only fifty Knights in the swarm but ten of them were in the peak of it!
It was common sense that the stronger a creature is the lesser its number would be. But maybe in reality, the lower ranked ones are just cannon fodders and many of them die while the stronger creatures are harder to kill thus more of them survived. This might be the reason why there are this many peak Knight bees in the swarm
They decided to end this fight as fast as possible and erupted with the strongest skills they have
"[Innate Skill: Nature's Battle Armor!]" In just as fast as a second that familiar wooden armor and sword appeared on Kence's body. The speed that it took to form was much faster than before thanks to Kence's current Rank
He used his floating skill while surrounding himself with leaves and flew straight towards the strongest bees. The leaves weren't there just to make him fly but also defend himself from the attacks of the other bees
Any bees that wants to attack him needs to deal with the leaves that was constantly revolving around him
The wooden swords glowed with light green light due to the layer of energy surrounding it. In a speed that was almost impossible to be captured by a normal human's eyes Kence successfully killed one the strongest bees
The sword light from the fallen's neck still didn't fade when Kence was already in front of yet another bee. The second bee met the same fate as the first one and with just one sword slash it was effortlessly killed
Calter hold out his arms and the free energy particles in the surrounding gathered on his palm. The energies condensed into dense energy balls.
The two balls of energy floated around and bullets came out from it. When the bullets landed on the bees' body a small explosion occurred causing bits of its body to flew everywhere
The balls were like machine guns that were continuously spewing out bullets. In the past month thanks to the energies being docile to Calter he once again catch up to Kence's Rank and become a Grand Knight Supernatural
If he become a Virtue Angel at the same time that Kence become a Tree he would surely overtake Kence's rank in a flash. He would be always ranks ahead of Kence
"[Innate Skill: Root Whip!]"
"[Magic Skill: Extreme Harden!]"
King's hands turned into long flexible roots with metallic luster thanks to his Magic Skill. He used his roots to slapped all the fallens bees surrounding them. Any bees that was unfortunately slapped by the whip turned into meat pulps
Any of the three of them was stronger than a Supernatural with the same Rank as them and the fight ended in just no more than five minutes!
Two hundred fallens were killed in such a short time! The three ignored the feat they made as for them this was something 'natural' and continued running towards the abandoned town
Fortunately, the town was only two kilometers away from the forest. While a kilometer around an Angel's Shop was devoid of any fallens or other creatures that will attack
Standing in front of the shop the three become filled with expectations and entered the small wooden shop. Just like the first Angel's Shop they went, when they enter, the space suddenly become larger
From outside it looks like a small shop but the inside was larger than what it look. Rows of shelves were aligned neatly with all sorts of things on it
All of the items in the shop contained energy inside it, clearly all of these were something that will benefit a Supernatural
Walking inside they soon reached the Shop's counter and although they already expected it but they were still taken aback by how beautiful the woman in front of them was
The woman's features were almost the same as Ariel, if they stand besides it each other people will surely think that they are twins. It was as if the word itself favored this woman with the best features. She didn't have any flaws on his body and her beauty reached perfection
"Welcome to Angel's Shop!" Seeing the reaction from the three people in front of her a mask suddenly covered half of the beauty's face. Although she covered her face but no one will think that beneath those mask was an ugly woman
Even her angelic voice made the three trembled and it took some time before they regained their senses. The woman didn't emit any energy fluctuations and she was as if just a mortal and normal woman. But how can that be? This just proves that her strength was far above the three even though they are much stronger than the first time they met an Angel!
"W-we are here to buy something!" Kence said but almost face palmed himself
This is a Shop, of course people will buy from it!
"What is it? If I have the item you need I will sell it with the corresponding price" the Angel then turned her focus at Calter and smiled warmly at him
Calter blushed and he smiled back. He felt a certain connection to the woman as if she was his family. He had the same feeling that he got when he first saw the Angel Ariel
Kence cleared his throat and his face become serious. The Angel sensed this and turned back her gaze towards him
"I want to buy a path!"

"Finally, I can take a rest for a while with this" the Angel Raphaela's enchanting voice travelled in the earth's atmosphere. Sensing the current amount of energy that earth has she smiled in satisfaction
"The world's level was enough to support a break through to the peak of Supernatural"
With her hard work the world's level was accelerated to the point that reaching the peak of Supernatural become possible. If this was a normal world who knows how many years it would take for that to happen
Even though her strength was mostly sealed by Gaia as the world can't bear even just her presence alone but she was too powerful that it only took a few months for her to achieve this
Even a peak Supernatural didn't even touched the level of her power even though it was mostly sealed. Although she can easily unlift the seal but she won't do that while on earth or more accurately she can't do that or else consequences will follow
"Now then, I guess it wouldn't be bad to visit a kind of mine"
Raphaela's eyes pierced the earth and landed on a special kind of Angel. "Surprisingly, he's inside an Angel's Shop with someone interesting"
This time Raphaela's gazed was focus on Kence
She effortlessly made a tear from space and entered it
She appeared inside the shop to hear Kence's words that piqued her interest
"I want to buy a path!"
After Kence said those words the four including the Angel was shocked to see Raphaela
The Angel immediately kneeled on the ground and paid her respect towards the [Angel Queen]
"Angel Ariela pay her respect to the Queen!"
