Leo's POV
'After walking together and, helping out this kid. I now see how much of a monster he is at the art of scribing blueprints, which gives me hope of finally getting my own housing in the future and make a breakthrough.' I thought to myself.
Even a young cub would see, that the things, this boy has done were not normal.
From turning people into cores, to fighting and winning against a human more powerful than him, and not just one level but over 3.
It must be he has received a gods blessing to turn him into such a being. But I hope this much power will not make him lose focus and lead him into ki deviation.
Or worse he would get swindled by a jade beauty for him to do her bidding, and end up like a slave again.
'Yes! Maybe I should warn him of such characters of the outside world.' I thought.
Ever since the world outside became an apocalyptic waste land, from all the wars and blood.
A lot of creatures allowed their evil nature to take over. I fear he is too naïve.
'Yes! Maybe I should tell him!' I thought, striding closer, to poke his shoulder but then.
"Oh! Look another Molen beast, Hehehe, the sooner I can turn it into a blueprint, the faster I will make you a great power housing, right! Leo."
I paused surveying the young dwarf's innocent expression. Revealing nothing more but the will to help.
'Haaa! Let me be selfish this time my small friend,' I sighed inwardly.
"Hahaha! Correct young boy."
'I will ensure that old monster, gives you a good flame inheritance, I mean I have guarded that dust collecting place for too long.' I thought walking next to the young dwarf.
Tema's POV
After pausing my evaluation test! I now headed deeper into the cave in hopes of finishing the third and fourth stages quicker, with more powerful beasts.
"Kkreek!"
"Ohh! Look another Molen beast, Hehehe the sooner I can turn it into a blueprint the faster I will make you a great power housing, right Leo" I said, with a high pitched tone, unable to hide my excitement.
A Molen beast appeared, but this time it was slightly more different, it was larger than usual and had a golden hue on the tip of its fur.
Beep!
*Ascension Baptism gate, 1st stage*
Even though it was a difference If one level, like all the others I had faced, its energy signature felt more similar to, someone.
"Digrooth?" I said confusingly surveying the, large beast.
"No! It's not him, but some other creature! So you can feel it too. This wild mindless beast, has the same energy signature as that bastard I beat up, into hiding." Said Leo in a carefree tone.
And the reason he was care free, was the same reason, I had not asked him to handle this guy. because he was just too weak.
"No wonder you defeated that rat! Digrooth so quickly that he ran with his tail between his legs, it's because he was juiced up on some kind of drug." I said turning my head to, see Leo holding a wide devilish grin.
Nodding his head he replied, "Why do you think, I followed him into this Tunnel, there is obviously a deceased immortal beast, here that these beasts used to improve their body, but because they,
Don't have good cultivation techniques they caused more harm than good to their body, resulting in a powerful aura, but a week body that deteriorates from using the blood." Said Leo, with a hearty laugh and giving me a sly smile.
"You wish for me to use the, technique you gave me on the blood, to power up?!" I said, and he nodded.
"The bastard that left blood for them, must be a relative to one of the beast constellations you practice, because only divine beasts can pass on their blood to any living being and make them stronger."
He continued
His face holding a fierce glare, " But the fool, did not even make, a proper inheritance housing. Which means he died unexpectedly, or since the blood deteriorates the molens so savagely,
It must be an old ancestor who is refining a treasure, by promising power in exchange for your life essence. A villainous bastard," said Leo.
"Kkreek!"
Gently striding forward, I stretched out my hand and opened my palm to the incoming beast.
"Don't worry! No one. Can turn me into a treasure,"
"Tetras skill activate," I said, slapping my palm on the beasts head.
Boom!
"Kuerkk!" releasing a terrified shrill, it started turning into blocks of light cubes, and hitting a U-Turn, tried to run into a certain direction of the wall.
But all was in vein, as it immediately dispersed into cubes, before it could arrive at it's destination.
After that, I hurriedly collected and combined all the cubes into a core, and threw it into my spatial ring.
"Every time I see that skill I get the chills, wonder what will happen to it, once you reach the Saint level, like me?" said Leo. His whiskers flickering with light in the darkness.
I just smiled at the remark.
"Where, were you going at a dead end?" I said walking towards the wall and started pressing my palms on it.
Shiik! Click!
"Tema! Wait! Stop" shouted Leo, but it was already too late and the wall sucked me in, leading to fall into a deep pit to the other side.
Splash!
Landing on a splashy golden puddle, that smelt like iron, I surveyed my self and the room I was in
Glowing with dim golden light, and the walls, were made of reddish, red meaty flesh.
Yes! Real flesh, and by the distance was a golden small pool, filled with molen beasts, grooming each other, having not, sensed my presence yet.
Beep!
*Ascension baptism 3rd stage*
*Ascension Baptism 6th stage*
*Ascension Baptism 8th stage*
*Ascension Baptism 3rd stage*
*Ascension Baptism 4th stage*
Warning!
*Danger immediate, retreat is advised*
After the rapid notifications, and warning, as if they also heard something, the Molens suddenly paused, and all of them, turned their necks to my direction.
"Ah! Shit. Run,"
"kkreeek!"
