Kiddo was silent
'Because I killed white tiger's kid. So he came to kill me and killed father' Kiddo said to him.
"Killed white tiger's kid? Hmm… understandable" said Amon with a nod, he didn't ask why he killed that kid, because that doesn't mean anything to him.
Amon took the sharp rock again and started to cut the meat around the heart to take it out, it was too hard, without Kiddo's help, it would have taken a night just to take it out, but with his power, it over in no time.
Amon picked up the heart which was 3 times bigger than his palm. And he was not short at all, at the age of 13, he had already reached 178 centimeters.
"I need to eat this?" Amon said, he noticed the heart was still beating! But it was very slow, he could feel the pressure of the beats.
'Yes, this will make you even stronger' Kiddo said to him.
Amon looked at the heart and didn't know what to say, if he cut that into pieces, it might lose its power. But it was too big to fit in his mouth.
'You will not die by that, just eat it, there is a lake not far from us, you can drink some water there' Kiddo said to him.
Amon nervously nodded, it was been so long since he was this nervous, what if this heart stopped in middle… he would just die.
"I will do it"
'Yes, just in one go, do it'
Amon opened his mouth wide as he could and started to shovel the heart into his mouth, Kiddo helped him this time.
Amon's face became blue, he couldn't breathe as the heart was just tearing his mouth apart, but Kiddo didn't stop until it entered his throat.
Just as the heart entered his throat, it melted.
"Haa…Ha…" Amon lay on his back and took some deep breaths. It was painful… but he could feel something was changing in his body, the pain in his mouth vanished, he was only tired mentally now, there was no physical exhaustion.
'What…' he felt a little pain in his head all of a sudden and some unknown information entered his mind.
He took some time to understand what was happening and tried to read the information.
'[Barrier] Tough Lion's inborn skill. [Notice] Tough Lion's inborn skill, [King's Pressure] Tough Lion's inborn skill.
[Barrier] this skill helps you by making a barrier around you, only people who are stronger than you can break it.
[Notice] you can notice anything around you, range- 2 meters.
[King's Pressure] scare everyone who are weaker than you.'
Amon read this and closed his eyes, a smile appeared on his face, so that was why Kiddo had a barrier and was able to scare away every beast here.
'Your body became twice as stronger than before, if you continue to become strong we can leave this forest.' Kiddo said to him, he remember his father's words. Humans would get stronger fast, at some point they would be faster than beasts!
Amon opened his eyes and looked at Kiddo.
"You want to go out?" he asked him
'That is why I am doing this, I can't go alone!' Kiddo said to him.
"Hmm, I understand, if it is then, help me how to use the barrier!" Amon said to him.
'Barrier?'
"Yes, after eating heart, I got 3 skills. One of them is the barrier" Amon didn't want to hide, he wanted to become strong. Even though those skills appeared in his mind, there was no information on how to activate them or use them.
'Hmm… this is my first time hearing something like this, I ate many before, but I never got skills' Kiddo was a little surprised.
"Maybe because I am human?"
'That must be it… and there is nothing to help you anything, just think about the barrier, it will appear around you, I do it like that, but you didn't even have much energy in you, can you use it now?'
"I will try"
Amon closed his eyes and thought about the barrier, 'Barrier, appear around me!' he thought, he felt it was a little childish, but in no time, he could feel the warm energy inside his body trembling. And coming out of his body like it was been pulled out. He hurriedly opened his eyes and saw a yellow layer around him. It was still forming, but he could see it.
He looked at Kiddo and saw a bright golden barrier around him, it was countless times thicker than his barrier.
'What? You shouldn't compare with me' Kiddo said after seeing his barrier and his gaze.
"I know," Amon said and the barrier vanished and the warm energy inside his body also finished, he again felt exhausted and laid on the bed he made with bushes.
Kiddo was silent, he also didn't know that people could get skills by earing Beasts' hearts?
Amon closed his eyes and he could feel that his body was absorbing Star Essence on its own, but it was very very slow. 'How do these beasts have so much Star Essence? Are they born with it?' he thought and tried to sleep. It was already midnight anyway.
Kiddo also slept on a rock, he could sleep all day and night, without any difficulty.
In the middle of the night…
Kiddo opened his eyes.
'Hey! Wake up! We need to run away from here!' he came to Amon and woke him up.
"Hmm?" Amon opened his eyes and looked at Kiddo who acted like he was in a hurry
'The white tiger is coming back! We need to run away from here' Kiddos said
"Shit!" Amon stood up, his sleep vanished in seconds as he stood and started to run to the place he hide this morning.
Kiddo followed him, he didn't know what to do, he was already panicking.
"Come here. We can hide in here. If it didn't have notice still like you, we can be safe here" Amon said to Kiddo as they entered below the big leaf.
"Don't make any noise. Go inside" he said to Kiddo, he first time saw fear in Kiddo's eyes.
Kiddo slowly entered deep into the leaf as he hide in front, he wanted to see what would happen and why it came back.
In no time he could see the head of the white tiger which was walking like it was about to sneak attack, someone.
