Chapter 40 - Day 40: Magic seed (II)

After debating with his inner self for a while, Blake forgot about strange ideas and saw what to do with that seed in his hands. When he was about to try something, he remembered that Shara had told him that he just had to put it down and wait for the magic to do it work.

It did not take long and he dropped the seed from his hands until it reached the ground, after a few seconds nothing seemed to happen, but a strange green light came out of that seed, and little by little it took a peculiar shape, Blake knew that he need not worry. From one moment to the next the seed could no longer be seen anywhere and instead there was, as it were, a plant.

"It wasn't a joke that it was a sword seed." Blake had said that because the supposed plant that had come out of the seed could be said at first glance to be in the shape of a sword. It was green in color with unique patterns, and its handle was a deep orange, but what was more peculiar was that it was floating peacefully in the same place where it was without anyone having to hold it. Blake's pupils were shaped like stars as he looked at that strange life form, every time he saw something related to magic or the like, it reminded him how impressive it was and just made many questions form in his head. As usual, not really understanding how to interact, Blake tried to see if he could communicate with that floating sword. "Ah... Hello, nice to meet you..."

But as if the quiet sword plant were related to someone he knew, didn't give any kind of response either. After trying a few things, Blake gave up and only stared at the strange plant for a few seconds until the voice of the system made his attention shift completely.

[Species: Wooly. Status: Alert]

From what he heard from the system; Blake knew instantly that what had appeared was another monster. This time the first thing that crossed his mind when he heard the name and saw the supposed monster, was that it was really just a simple sheep and for some reason, he felt very familiar with the image of it. The monster was the height of an eight-year-old child, it could be seen that he was wrapped in a large white wool coat covering its skin dark as night. Everything was normal, but it seemed strange to Blake that, instead of walking on all fours like any sheep, it was standing on its two legs while keeping a safe distance.

"Is it really a sheep?" This time he was not confident, Blake quickly grabbed his sword and shield in preparation for the confrontation, but before either side moved, something whizzed past next to Blake in the direction of the little sheep in front of him in an instant, a green flash had arrived in front of the new monster and a flurry of cuts was the only thing he could see before noticing how the little wooly had turned into a sphere of light and disappeared from everyone's sight.

What happened did not last more than a few seconds, but from what Blake could see, he realized that the peculiar sword plant had moved on its own, and in the time of a few breaths it had made multiple cuts, defeating the monster sheep in front of him.

"Y-You... You're amazing!" The emotion that Blake showed at that moment could not be described, you could only see how surprised he was seeing the plant in the form of a sword while it did not seem even fazed by the shower of compliments implying that it really could not communicate. After seeing the potential of his partner, he had, Blake felt that no one could against them and advanced a few more steps through the forest until he found something new to him. "What...? What the heck is that thing?"

What he was referring to, was something strange to describe, at first glance what could be said was that there was a strange cluster of symbols in the form of a white sphere floating in nothingness. Blake was strangely fascinated by what he was seeing, even though he knew that should not be trusted, he approached that strange object and took a closer look.

For the first time, the symbols surrounded the entire sphere and it did not seem to be solid, Blake tried to touch it without thinking about what could happen, and, to his surprise, his hand sank until it touched the center of the sphere seeing that that part was solid. He did not feel anything strange, he took his hand out of him and there was nothing different, he saw that the system bars were not showing, so he concluded that that thing did not seem to be dangerous. Blake was about to try something else until he saw how a strange light came out of that sphere and moved away from the same space of this, and after that same light had contact with the ground, Blake understood in that instant what that strange was really a sphere.

"This... Is this a monster generator?" Blake came to that conclusion as he saw that the light that had come out of the sphere had turned into another smiling Pomme Pomme and it did not appear to have been the same one he had previously defeated. His mind was giving its best to understand how that was possible, but the constant alerts from the system prevented him from doing so and he began to worry a little about the situation in front of him.
