Realizing what he had just done, Fey Wesonga turned to flee but it was already too late for him because a small sharp twig from the tree was already launched towards him at an insane speed. Fey Wesonga managed to get his head out of the way instinctively but his shoulder was not lucky because the twig changed its trajectory midway once it missed his head and stabbed his shoulder.
Lazy Wafula ignored Fey Wesonga who was screaming like a pig and slashed his palm at the trunk of a tree behind him. This strike was reinforced with his attribute which made it to burn with a black flame.
The tree sensed danger and it thus bolstered itself with some more barks for defence and braced for the impact while ruffling its leaves to create wind so that it can get the pest out from there, but Lazy Wafula was immovable. He had learned the technique of being one with the earth while he was still struggling in planet Earth and he can not be easily uprooted. His palm cut through several defenses like butter before snapping the tree trunk in half. The tree released a painful banshee shriek as it fell, revealing the little beast in its hollow trunk.
Lazy Wafula didn't wait even a second, his palm which had still not lost its momentum continued forward and cut the beast in two, his palm was only stopped by by the spiky spine of the beast.
The spine had pierced through his palm but he didn't even twitch his face. He had gone through much pain than this one. The beast had breathed its last just like that.
'How do I absorb its blood essence' Lazy asked the system inwardly.
_"Beep"
_"Just allow your meridians to extend into its body and they themselves will do what is needed."
With just a thought, Lazy Wafula allowed his meridians in the hand which was still deep in the body of the beast, he allowed the meridians to extend. Just like worms, the meridians tore his skin and came out extendingly to absorb the blood energy of the beast, thus milking it dry.
_"Beep"
[ Blood energy of Wood River absorbed +2 ]
[ Blood energy of Wood River absorbed +2 ]
[ Blood energy of Wood River absorbed +2 ]
[ Blood energy of Wood River absorbed +1 ]
_"Soul of Wood River available. Do you want to enslave it?" Yes or No?
"What do you mean by that. I mean, the enslave thingy that you have just said, can you explain it further." Lazy Wafula was once again left in puzzlement by the system. Was there really more to gain that he didn't knew?
_"Beep"
_"After absorbing the blood energy of a beast of the cultivation plane, one can also enslave its soul if they want. These souls can metamorphosize into a weapon or something something useful depending on the inherent nature of the beast killed. I think you don't need me to also explain the use of a weapon right?"
Lazy Wafula was flabbergasted. 'So that was how weapons are found?' He turned to see the weapon in Fey Wesonga's hand and now that he was scanning it intently, he can feel some beastly aura from that axe. that has to be a soul weapon. Lazy Wafula quickly said "Yes" and the soul of the Wood River which he had just killed entered into his soul space.
_"Beep"
[ Soul of Wood River obtained ]
[ Nature of the soul gained - wood ability enhancement ]
Lazy Wafula was stupified once more, he was expecting to get a weapon that will help him but he got an ability enhancement, what was that? He was a person who had an attribute of darkness where could he find wood ability in him to enhance it? He felt like he had just been conned by nature.
_"Beep"
_"Host should not be disappointed, your constitution is strong unlike that of other cultivators. Your constitution can allow secondary elements to exist in you. Feel yourself first. The blood energy that you have just absorbed from that Wood River had increased your understanding about wood ability a little, so, If you manage to absorb the blood energy of more Wood Rivers, your understanding about wood will soar and then you can use the Wood River's soul to enhance the ability that you had understood."
Lazy perceived himself and he could feel a faint sensation of Wood element in himself. This wood element was so faint that he could not even tap on it but he felt like if he absorb more blood energy of Wood element beasts, his understanding will soar and he could gain another secondary attribute other than his innate dark attribute. He was all glee.
To have the ability to absorb other attributes, that would make him a force that could not be reckoned with among his peers because the system had said that this was also a part of his constitution. He knew that there may be no any other person with such a constitution and if there was, then they are only a few.
Lazy Wafula willed his Quest interface window to see his gains.
[ undisputed_shame: Guys, I am begging you. Please, take a few moments to pray for me. I feel like committing suicide. I don't know why, but things are not going the way I want them to. It's just too confusing. Even if you are rainbow or a bugler, president, secretary or whatever. Please don't ignore, maybe your prayers will be useful to me. As you guys should also know, my editor, that is James Gichuhi, the guy has left, he is no longer helping me. That's why you may find some errors here and there but I am working tirelessly to find another person who will agree to help me. This time round, I will surely search for a lady to do the editing... Anyway, let's take this opportunity to give some applause to James Gichuhi, he was so helpful to me, though he left for reasons that I don't know.... *Don't forget to pray for me. If am healed, who knows that maybe I will write something that you guys will really like so, much? ]
