《Rise My Elementals! 》Chapter 229: The Void Eater's years of helping Ahmed
Advertisement
Hearing Leo's question, the Void Eater didn't hesitate to reply, "We Void Eaters are not the same as the normal Magical Beast you have always met. While they feed on the other Magical Beast in order for them to become much more powerful, we on the other hand can only become powerful through consuming Mana that doesn't have any single mix of impurities. Aside from that, we also consume Mana in order to keep on living because our body is made out entirely of Mana."
"However, it is not that easy to find Magical resources that we can eat because almost every Magical resource has a mix of impurities, and because of that we are required to become a Beast Companion to Mages because the Mana in their consciousness can never be mixed with any kind of impurities, even if their consciousness is full of impurities."
"Another reason why Mages are really perfect for us is simply because Mages has too many ways to recover their Mana, like for instance just simply resting, consuming Magical resources or items, through their Stars inside their consciousness, and they can even improve their Mana Capacity as well, which makes them the best meal for us Void Eaters."
"Although we can actually kill the Mages in order to steal the Mana stored in their consciousness, that is not really convenient for us because we need to keep on killing numerous Mages just to feed over their Mana, which is by far very inconvenient compared to just letting the Mages grow and consume their Mana every now and then. In such a way, not only can we improve, but the amount of our meal also improves and we can also hide our existence and keep on living in peace..."
"That should have been the idea... but unfortunately this young man here with the name Ahmed jumped up to block that girl who has a really big Mana Capacity, hence I became his Beast Companion instead. And that resulted in me still remaining as a child despite living for less than 30 years in the Celestial World. Being sustained by such a small Mana Capacity, it's indeed only reasonable that my cultivation wouldn't have any noticeable improvements."
"To be honest, Ahmed has a very high potential in becoming a powerful Mage, but he was still extremely weak at that time when I became his Beast Companion, specifically his Mana Capacity is still really small. So, I became a hindrance instead of his path to further improve his cultivation. Of course, I can actually not consume his Mana so as to let him grow faster like before. However, that is so stupid because it would obviously cause me to die instead."

"It was a really dire situation for me, but fortunately I thought of a really great plan which is to become more powerful by continuing to consume his Mana every day so that I can hunt Magical Beast, and then I will use those Magical Beast to aide Ahmed in his cultivation. In such a way, we both can increase our cultivation. Confusingly though, it actually didn't help him a single bit despite me leaving a dead Magical Beast practically every single day in front of his house." The Void Eater said with a look of confusion on his face.
Leo finally understood everything about the Void Eaters. To cut the Void Eater's story short, Ahmed is its food supply in order for it to keep on living and to become strong, so losing Ahmed means it would die.
Hearing the Void Eater's words, Ahmed suddenly replied, "What leaving dead Magical Beast? You're obviously lying because I have never ever seen those Magical Beast carcasses that you've spoken about in anywhere near my house."
"Huh? Your house is that poor looking and small 5 square meters hut, right?" The Void Eater asked in confirmation.
"Yes, and I have never ever found any of those Magical Beast carcasses that you've spoken about."
"What?! I always leave it in front of your door every single morning. Every time I check again, the Magical Beast carcass would be gone, which I assume that you should have gotten already. So, it's impossible for you not to found any!" The Void Eater pointed at Ahmed, "So, you're the one who is obviously lying. Tell me, where did you use those Magical Beast carcasses? Oh, did you sell them to others? Or perhaps did you gifted it to others to earn a favor or two? Hmmm... maybe you have gifted it to that girl you have saved before, I think her name was Jasmine as you have basically stalked her every single night! I even remembered it one time where you said, I will become powerful so that Jasmine wouldn't have to worry about me anymore."
Hearing the Void Eater's words, Ahmed's face quickly turned burning red out of embarrassment after being revealed.
"That must be it, right?!! I worked extremely hard for you to become powerful, yet you actually used it to flirt with girls. Although Jasmine is indeed beautiful, there is no need to argue with that. You still need to care about yourself instead of other people, especially if those gifts came from someone else's hard work!" The Void Eater reprimanded Ahmed like a father, causing Ahmed to become even more ashamed.

On the other side, Jasmine giggled sweetly as she saw Ahmed's action confirming the Void Eater's accusations. But her face also turned red when she thought about Ahmed stalking her every single night.
"Does that mean Ahmed also saw me changing clothes? Or maybe not, since I always close the window before changing. But still, that's so embarrassing..." Jasmine thought to herself.
"Now you're guilty after being revealed? Heck, you even have the audacity to accuse me of lying when in fact it is you!" The Void Eater said while poking Ahmed's head with its small paws repeatedly.
"I..."
"What?! Do you want to apologize? Tch, if only I wasn't your Beast Companion and that I needed you, then you wouldn't be forgiven by the great me!" The Void Eater sneered.
"Mr. Void Eater, sir? I think you have misunderstood something..." Jasmine suddenly interrupted, quickly making the Void Eater to turn its head to look at her.
"Oh, you're that girl Jasmine..." The Void Eater suddenly formed a knowing look on its face while it repeatedly turned its head to look at Ahmed and Jasmine before slowly forming a smile on its face. It then continued, "Oh, so it's like that... Anyways, what do you mean that I misunderstood something?"
"It's like this... I think all of the Magical Beast that you've supposedly given to Ahmed was stolen by Piero every single day." Jasmine explained, "I once eavesdropped in their conversation before and if my memory indeed serves me correct, then what I heard was them stealing something from Ahmed's house every single day. I'm not really sure whether it was indeed the Magical Beast that you've left for Ahmed, but knowing that Ahmed wasn't able to find any, then it should be them."
"Whatt?!" The Void Eater and Ahmed exclaimed at the same time. They then quickly turned to look at each other before turning their heads away.
"Hmph!"
"Hmph!"
"Ahhhh, doesn't that meant if only I woke up early every day I could have eaten foods that are nutritious for Mages like me?" Ahmed pulled his hair in regret.
"That's indeed going to be the case." Charlotte suddenly interrupted, "Sorry about that little fatty, I thought that you were our enemy."
"What little fatty?!" The Void Eater was displeased.
"Little Levi told us that you're actually considered fat amongst the Magical Beast, he even described you as an old fatty because of how old you are." Charlotte explained.
Hearing Charlotte's explanation, the Void Eater quickly turned to look at Levi, who was puffing up his chest proudly while looking at it.
"You really dare to insult me!" The Void Eater pointed its little paws at Levi.
"Insult? I'm only telling them the truth that you're an old man wearing a body of a small Void Eater!" Levi mocked, "In short, your age doesn't match your cultivation, hahahaha!" He then added more salt to the Void Eater's wounds.
"That is not even my fault, you little prick!" The Void Eater immediately flew towards Levi with the intention to fight against him.
Seeing the Void Eater charging at him, Levi then quickly hid behind Leo as he said, "Protect me Leo, a crazy old prick wants to bully me, hehehehe...!"
"Old... old prick... did you just called me an old prick?!!" The Void Eater seemingly clinched its small paws before shooting Levi a sharp look.
"Old prick! Old prick! Old prick! Old prick! HAHAHAHAHA!" Levi further annoyed the Void Eater.
"AHHHHH, I have enough of your prickliness, you little prick!" The Void Eater suddenly disappeared before suddenly appearing instantaneously behind Levi.
With a smack of the Void Eater's small paw, Levi was sent to the ground.
And of course, Levi wouldn't just let himself get beaten up by the Void Eater because both their cultivation doesn't have that much of a difference.
"Old prick, take this!" Levi returned a smack.
"That didn't even hurt me, at all. Now take this!"
"Is that all you got? Here, have a taste of my giant paw of doom!"
With that, Leo and the others unexpectedly earned themselves a front-row seat for a Magical Beast fight.
