B1C7: Dangerous on the Road
Morning comes and after eating breakfast, which consisted of Wild Rice Porridge with pumpkin and mixed spices (of course, Jenna mixed them), they packed up and left the house with everyone.
When Jin and Jenna were refining in cultivation with the Nine Immortal pills, the other kids made about 150 yards worth of bandages.
Such precious bandages!
If you want the calculation of everything, then it is like this:
Materials:
Grass Berries Fruit x 10 (Cost 1 copper each)
Silvertail Grass x 10 (Cost 2 copper each)
Misty Flower x 3 Petal (est. of 10 copper per petal)
Crystal Leafed Flower x 1/2 petal. (est. of 14 copper per petal)
Low-Grade Elemental Powder x 10 pounds (5 Copper per pounds)
Sub Total: 1 Silver 17 Coppers
Smashed all these together and mixed them well. Then let it ferment overnight or let it sets for a minimum of 8 hours. And then added 10 gallons of water that had been boiling for 20 minutes already. Then bring them all to a boil for a full 10 minutes.
This patch of herbs that can be used up to 50 times! Which mean that it can be used to make 50 yards of fabrics!
50 yards of White Jute Fabrics are 6 silvers since it is 12 copper per yard.
So total is 7 silvers and 17 coppers.
1 yard of fabrics can makes 50 rolls of bandages.
10 Rolls of bandages are sold for 25 copper each.
Which mean that 1 yards are 50 rolls of bandages, equaling to 1 silvers and 25 coppers.
Then 50 yards of White Jute Fabrics can be made into 2500 rolls of bandages.
If sold all of it, it would total to 62 Silvers and 50 coppers total.
A total of 55 Silvers and 33 copper in profit per patch of herbs!
And they have been making it a lot of times already, so now each kid gets at least 7 golds on themselves now.
Let’s not mention that if Jenna added any mana properties herbs into the patch of materials then it will only cost Jenna 50 coppers more. And then she will gains at least 50 more Silvers for it. But she didn’t.
Which mean now that the kids made 150 yards of bandages worth, 7500 rolls of bandages. However, this time, they aren’t selling it but rather saving it for later uses because they are making 7 days traveling to Ernos City this time.
And according to Clapton and from everyone, the beast surround the road to Ernos City are the most dangerous since they prey on human as their sources of food.
When he said this, the kids all pale. Well, not all of them. Jenna and Jin didn’t. The other did.
Oh my, was Clapton’s warning accurate.
Which is what is happening right now. Maybe I shouldn’t have jinxed us.
They have only just passed the border of the town for only half an hour and they had already met with misfortune.
In front of us is what I would call a baby Python. However, from how pale everyone else is, I think I better change my opinion soon.
This snake has two bright red colored eyes and one large red mana core on its forehead. The skin was a clear black stripes patterns in a golden red base color. This is a baby Goldenfire... no. Wait. This is a variant of goldenfire and a Sunfire? Judging by the dark clean orange stripes on its forehead.
Both me and Jin shared a look.
‘Is a baby Goldensun Python’ both of us think at the same time.

However, like I say, Clapton look far too frightened by a mere baby snake.
“Linah? What is that snake beast?” I asked the pale-faced woman in front of me, who is now totally shivering from fear.
Linah turn toward Jenna with her eyes widen in fear as the snake hissed a couple of meters away.
“Linah?”
“Y-yes?”
“What is that Snake Beast called?” I repeat. The sight of all the adults shivering in fear at the small snake in front of them was too hilarious for me and Jin. Jin is now laughing so hard that it resounds throughout their connection. Only his poker-face is far too good that he isn’t laughing out right.
Why is the sight so funny for Jin and Jenna?
Well, that is because the snake was the smallest that they had ever seen for a Goldensun Python Snake Beast type. Only about a meter in diameter and 70 or so feet long. Pretty small for this varies of the snake.
Very small compared to the ones from their old world, which the smallest ones are about 10 times the sizes of that one and largest are about 500 times that. Not to mention the speed that they moves are simply un-seen-able.
Compare that to this little python and you will notice why Jin is laughing so hard. This snake is just like a newborn compared to what they both had used to seeing. Even newborns are far larger than the one in front of them now.
True, this one can probably swallow them all in one gulp but compare it to the ones from his old world and you will notice the huge difference between the fear that it gives out.
‘Little Jen... this snake beast is... wait... only at the Body and Forms stage?!’ Jin look like he was going to cry seeing how weak the beast are.
‘Only Body and Forms stage? Why is the beast in this world so weak?’ I also wanted to cry at the situation. On the road during their traveling so far, they don't meet a lot of strong beast that would caused the Captain and everyone else to worry. Rather, they meet more bandits so this was the first time that their group had meet someone this strong. Strong enough to make the Captain pale this badly, at least.
Beast and cultivators from Jenna’s old world are categorized into stages: The first stage, Forging Body and Form Stages. Within this stage, it is the stage that you will have to strengthen your body from both inner and outer. In this stage, there is 120 levels total, with Twelve Tiers for body strengthening. In another word, Body and Form Stages have Tier 1 thru Tier 12, with each Tier having 10 ranks, so in total, it has 120 ranks or level total.
Some breast use herbs to strengthen their body while other use mana sources. There is a big difference between the method and the results.
This World only has two methods for cultivator and beasts alike. One, strengthen your own body by doing physical activities and two, using herbs and absorption of mana from other creature. There are also forbidden method but I seriously doubt that any Red Blood Beast can use it.
At least for this world, there are only two methods that the human knowledge of if you are talking about strengthening the body. Which was why the Captain and the others are so weak even after all these years of practicing.
However, for Jenna, there are 10 methods that can strengthen the body that Jenna know of.

Physically activities.
Using herbs like Nine Immortal Pills, Thousand Clouds Mana Pills, Water Essences Potion, Body Strengthening Potion, Yang Berries Pills, Yin Fruits Pills, and the likes. There are a lot more but since Jenna and Jin’s body are still within the Body and Forms stage level 120, aka Tier 12, so they can’t use it yet.
Using Mana and Soul forces to strengthen the Soul Pool and Mana Pool within yourself was another method that Jenna and Jin knew of. As your internal life sources got stronger, so does your magipoints, the essence of your blood and forces within your strength for both humans and beasts. Your Soul Pool determines how long you will live while Mana Pool is like the energy sources for magic spells and the likes, such as summoning. Both of these two pools are what defined your internal life sources.
Meditation in certain kinds of body strengthening techniques.
Practical training like hands-on-hands combat with human and beasts.
Undergoing practice under an intense gravity force and elemental forces like Water Force, Air Force, Fire Force, Earth Force, and the likes. Elemental Forces can be both good and bad. Good enough to bring the dead back to life and bad to enough to obliterate your whole soul. So, this method isn't commonly used.
There are other methods that are far too dangerous to use on normal human but for Jenna and Jin, the methods that they have been using was one of them.
Both Jenna and Jin have been using the Dual Soul Meditation Soul Bond method that no one had ever had done before. Well, obviously, no one has ever done it before in this world or the previous one, because this method will only work if one, the partner is a Mate Bonded and two, the partner’s soul is resonance enough with your soul.
Good thing that both Kainen and Megie’s soul is nearly the same shape and size. It has always been.
And this little snake beast is a Body and Forms stage. It should be level 15 Body and Forms stage.
The second stage is when the beast or cultivators train their Soul Realm and Mana Realm into a condenser stage. Body and Forms have a Soul Realm and Mana Realm that is Gas or Steam like State.The second Realm is called Soul Condensation and Mana Condensation Stages, or better known as Condensation Building and Establishment stages. During this states, the Gas like substances in both the Soul Realm and the Mana Realm’s pool will condense into liquid and then crystallized, strong enough to build the foundation with it to prepared for the Nascent Soul Forming Spirit stages, in which human would cultivate into Demigod or for Beast, Truth Earth and or Spirit Realm, depending on their bloodline and color that they were born with.
Some people called the Condensation Building and Establishment stages the Liquefied Stages. The differences between the Body and Form Stages versus the Condensation Building and Establishment stages are the differences between heaven and earth. If you are in the Condensation Building and Establishment stage, even with 10,000 human or beast from the peak of the Body and Form stages, it won't be able to hurt you with strength along.
That’s why I think that this little Beast is SO very Weak!
‘Little Jen, we’re both already passed Body and Forms stage and are now in the Life and Soul stage. What should we do? All the merchants are only in the Body and Forms stages, should we help them?’ Jin asked worriedly. The Life and Soul stage isn't really a stage but rather an in between-the-lines that divided the stage of the Body and Form Stages away from the Condensation Building and Establishment Stages.
‘So weak! You can take care of it’ I answered back, not really interesting in the baby snake.
‘Oh? But Little Jen, I can only use Blood Field. As of yet, this body can’t handle stronger Magic yet. And I don’t even have any weapon.’ Jin asked worriedly with a sweat drop on his head.
‘Idiot. Who told you to use Blood Field? Just use the other one, Blood Mist. It should be easy for you to control that one.’ I answered back as I yawn in boredom.
‘Ah, that’s right. There is still those little play magic spell.’ Jin grin once he recalled that magic spell that even he can use. What? Kainen isn't a mage but that doesn't mean that he cannot use magic. Even if it is very limited for a warrior, magic combat is possible for warriors like Kainen, who's a Spell Warrior and a Combat Warrior.
‘Now that you mention it, Little Jen. Do you not want the blood?’ Jin asked curiously as he hopped off the wagon and make his way toward the Python Snake Beast.
‘... I totally forgot about that... Yeah, I do.’
‘Okay. I will freeze the beast and then you can come collect the blood okay?’ Jin smiles softly as his eyes turned bloodlust. This will be the first time that Jin had ever got into a bloodlust mode after he Awakened.
‘Hm.’
“Linah? Hello? Linah? You haven’t answered me!” Since the girl wasn’t answering and her eyes are starting to turn blank again, I have to slap you face a couple of time.
Bah! Bah! Bah!
“Ah! Ow.. Jenna.... Ah, that’s the King of this Forest! A venomous Beast Snake called the Fire Attitude Snake. She is the Queen of this Forest but since she rarely moves away from her home, this road is usually safe. However, once she preys on someone or something, there is no escaping!
She’s fast, her skins are thick and hard that only A High Tier Rank Warrior or Mage can do any damage to her! With the Captain’s High Tier Ranking, he can’t do anything to the King of the Forest because he is a Priest! His magic spells for combat aren’t strong enough to kill it!” Linah cries as she explained.
Ah, I forgot that this world cultivation level is far too low. There’s only up to Tier 12 in terms of Stages for cultivators. And they all are within the Forms and Body stages.
Would they be mad if I told them that from Tier 1 to Tier 12 are only in the Body and Forms Stages, a beginner stage, for me and Jin?
King of the Forest my a**.
Weak A** piece of **** isn’t worth that name.
“Linah, can you please watch over the kids?” I asked with a tone that she can only say Yes to. She nodded and I hopped off the wagon.
Whatever. I totally ignored Linah after that.
Far ahead, Jin was already preparing his Magic Spell to play with the beast. Even if Jin doesn’t use a magic spell to play with the beast, he could still easily defeated it with his fist. After all, Jin was a warrior.
Just a Red Blood Beast isn’t strong enough for him to go all out even at his current level. Jin is still far weaker compared to me now since he had just waking up a couple of days ago.
“Captain,” I called to the pale man who is currently trying and failing to stop Jin from advancing toward the Python Snake.
“J-Jenna, What is Jin doing?! Hurry and call him back!” Clapton was panicking and is now looking like he wanted to faint. All the other adults aren’t much different as they yelled at Jin for him to come back.
Keith look like he was going to go get Jin but I stopped him with my hand on his shoulder. Since Keith is way taller than I right now, the scene was a little funny.
“Calm down people. Jin will be fine. That little baby snake won’t be able to do anything to Jin. Just watch.” I said calmly.
That calm down most of them but they still are far too nervous. Well, that makes sense since none of the adults knew that Jin and I had already cultivated to the peak of Tier 12 in their understanding, the peak of the Body and Forms stages.
Ah, whatever.
“Captain, how much empty glass bottles do you have?” I asked him.
“Empty glass bottles? Which kinds?” He asked, now calm down a little at my question. Since his experiences with me telling him that whenever I asked these kinds of question, he would make a lot of money.
“For potion, the largest one,” I answered. I could have just made my own glass bottle for alchemy but I don’t even have an Alchemy Furnace nor a Glass mold, with no choice I just have to buy them from merchants like Captain Clapton. Not to mention, I do even have the materials to make them.
“I have 500 of those left and it’s 10 copper per bottle,” he answered confusingly. He knew that I know how to make herbal bandages so he had already suspected that I might know how to make potion too. It isn’t surprising.
“I will take all of them. Here 50 Silvers Coins.” I said as I passed him the money. Now I have 280 Gold coins left. Wow, from a little of 260 golds coins to a total of 350 and then to 280 gold coins. I am rich! Not that I care.
Clapton blinked his eyes as he accepts the money. A couple of seconds later, the Keith come back with one crate full of large empty glass bottles while the rest was moved to us kid’s wagon.
“Thanks,” I said as I opened the crate with a strength that surprised both Clapton and Keith. Not to mention, everyone else.
I then transferred all the Empty Glass Bottle into my ring. All 100 Empty Glass Bottle gone just like that, it surprised all the other adults that don't know that I have an Interspatial ring.
I then make my way toward Jin and the Snake Python. Jin was currently sitting on is head as he says something to it. Then the snake drops her hand to the ground like a puppet without the threads holding it.
The Goldensun-like snake Python was now freezing and not moving. Linah called this beast a King but clearly, this is a female snake. A princess is more like it.
The snake’s eyes were now looking very empty.
Ahhh... a hallucination spell huh... Didn’t Jin plan on using Blood Mist? Why aren’t there any red mist in the air then?
Oh? It is because he’s saving the blood for me... yep.
“Little Jen. You here?” Jin smile as he looks at me.
“You use a hallucination spell? Which one?” I asked with my eyes brows raised.
Jin grin.
“Hehee, I can’t hide it from you at all huh. I’m just letting this little baby snake see what kind of beast are worth being called King in our former world.” Jin smirked and smile brightly at me.
I nodded. A very good one indeed. Too bad I was hoping that I would see kainen’s rarely used Blood Mist Magic spell but I guess this will do. With this spell that would cause the beast to be very excited in his own mind while his body is inactive, the flows of the blood inside its body would increase more.
I take out a skinning knife from my ring and make a very accurate cut to where the blood vein is.
Clik
A gill from the snake fell off to the ground as red and strongly smelled of fruity and sweet penetrate the air.
“Oh? This baby snake is only 200 years?” Jin asked surprised. For Snake kind of beast’s blood to mature to the point that its blood smell like fruity, this snake must be very strong. Well, for his age at least. Normal snakes at the age of 200 years aren't this strong nor does their blood smell this sweet. This means that this snake was already stronger than normal.
Seeing that Jenna and Jin were doing something to the Beast, Clapton swallow his feared and approach them slowly.
“Jin? What is Jenna doing?” He asked nervously as he looks at the King of the Forest. He can’t help it when his body shivers in fear. And it wasn’t just his body, it chilled him all the way down to his bones.
“Huh? Oh, Little Jen is collecting the blood. Even if is only a Red Blood Beast, this little snake has already mature to the point that her blood smell very fruity. It’s no wonder that you guys would be so scared of it.” Jin answered as they both watch Jenna filled one after another bottle of blood.
“What is it use for?” Clapton asked just as the other adults come over, curiosity wrote right on their faces. This is the first time that he actually saw something, or rather someone, collecting blood from Beast. And not to mention, from a King of the Forest, a King Ranked Beast.
“I don’t really know. Jenna likes to use it when making potion but I seriously doubt that’s all it is used for,” Jin answered with his head tilt to the side.
“P-potion?!” Hylian shouted in surprised. Hylian is the vice-captain by the way. Both he and the Captain’s eyes met and understanding shines in them.
“Yeah,” Jin answered and then ignored everyone else as he walked back toward the wagon and come back with another crate of empty glasses.
“Little Jen, should we just killed this beast?” Jin asked, seeing that I don’t plan on killing it or letting it live.
“Hmm.. yeah. After I collect all the blood first.” I answered as I continue filling one bottle after another.
This is precious stuff after all! Even if is only a Red Blood Beast!
“Jenna, do you know how much those blood will be sold for in the auction house?” Hylian asked excitingly. Clearly, Beast Blood has a very high content of mana properties so a lot of Mages would buy it to use as remedies or catalyst for all kind of things, including inscription ink. However, to gather this types of blood from a King rank beast are far too dangerous, almost no one is willing to sell it.
“Hmm? How much?” I asked, having no clue. However, sensing that Beast in this world has little magipoint(Essence of Forces) in their blood, I have to wonder why Hylian is this excited.
“Just a small bottle that has 10 drops of blood is already worth at least 50 gold coins! Imagine selling one large bottle like yours! You would have made around 500 Gold Coins easily!” Hylian was clearly very excited, so is the other adults.
“Oh? Then you guys can collect some for yourself. I don’t mind.” It’s not like I can collect all of it with only 500 Large Empty Glass Bottle. No point in wasting it.
“Really?! Thanks!” All the adults run toward where they keep their stuff and each brought back at least 10 small empty glass bottle. I have to smile at the scene. I then cut another two small hollow cut on another small blood vein and let them collected it. By then, I had already filled nearly 200 Large Bottle.
Seeing that I nearly ran out of glasses, Jin quickly ran back toward the wagon and brought back another crate full of large empty glass bottles.
The kids soon join us collecting blood from the beast after they each brought at least 10 middle size glass bottle from the captain. By then, the so-called King of the Forest is already dead from blood loss. No matter how high it’s regeneration rate is, it still died from blood loss.
I nearly feel pity for the baby snake. Nearly.
By the time that we’re all done collecting the blood, it was already midday. While the Captain and everyone else getting ready to travel again, I was skinning the Beast and separating the core from its head.
The meat from this level of beasts was very sought after, according to the captain. So I sold half of it to him and keep half in my ring. Lucky that this ring doesn’t count the weight of the objects in them. Half of the snake is already about 15,000 tonnes of meat if I included in the weight of the bones and everything else. And just 1 pounds of meat was already 10 gold coins. Instead of making the captain pay in full, I have him divided the meat into 20 equal portions for all the adults and paid only 100 Gold coins for it.
So now I have 380 Golds coins and some silvers that I have no plan on counting.
We continue on for another two days and a half when we meet with another Forest King. This time, it was a large and huge white wolf, however, it didn’t attack us and instead, ignored us as it cautiously let us thru.
Captain was confused as to why the beast didn’t attack us, seeing that wolves hate it when their territory is being invaded. I smirked at him while Jin laughed out loud.
“Captain, the beast ignored us because he can feel that you guys have a large amount of Beast Blood, specifically, a lot of the other Forest Beast King’s Blood. That’s why he ignored us and didn’t provoke us as long as we didn’t do anything in this forest that will endanger the beast, we’re free to go.” Jin laughed as he explained.
“Oh.” was all the captain said as he nervously tells everyone to hurry the hell up and get away from here.
Before passing the wolves, I have to say that the smaller ones look very adorable. I want one as a pet but if Azaroth knew about it, it will be very bad. So no matter how adorable it looks, I will have to let it by.
“Jenna? You want one?” Jin asked understanding and feeling the longing from our connection.
“No, if Azaroth knows that I have another pet, besides himself and the other 11, he will flip out big time. And that will endanger every living being in this world.” I explained as I sigh out loud.
“Hehehe, Little Jen. Your Summon Partners are all very possessive after all. Even when knowing that we’re husband and wife back then, they still try to kill me whenever you summon them. Especially that Azaroth, Pandaria, and Argus. Those three are very competitive and very possessive of you.” Jin said as he played with Samantha’s hair.
“Big brother, what is a Summon Partner?” Samantha asked from Jin’s chest as he tied her hair. What? Kainen had reincarnated a lot of times already and each times, he does have little brothers and sisters so of course he knew how to take care of kids. He was the one that took care of me when I was little back then too as our parents have to work for the clan.
“A Summon Partner is a being from another realm that you summon using a Summoning Scrolls or Summoning Magic Spell into this world as your partner,” Jin explained, causing all the kids and the adults that heard him to gasped out loud in surprises.
“Jenna, I knew that Jin and you have a state of Recalling about your previous life, but seriously? You both have Summon Partner?” Linah asked with her jaw drop to the floor.
What? What is so surprising? As a mage, it wasn’t very surprised that I will have a Summon partner to help me fights, does it?
Okay, fine. I admitted that all of my Summoned Partners are far stronger than any other Summoner's Partner. After, they are all Emperor Class Spiritual Beings.
“No, I don’t have a summoning partner. I have what you would call a Beast Partner while Jenna has 12 Summoning Partners,” Jin answered as he finished fixing Samantha’s hair and moved on to Hilsa’a hair while I fixed Minna after Vinna.
“But.. didn’t you guys already... died. what happens to your partners then?”Linah asked confusingly since she herself doesn’t have a summon partner due to her failure to summon herself a partner. From what she knows, if the summoner died, then the being that is summoned will go back to their world and their connection will lose forever. However, listening to Jin and Jenna’s explanation, it sounds like the connection was never lost.
“Oh? That’s right. The connection between me and my Beast Partner have long ago ended when I first... lost connection with it. But for Jenna, her Summon Partners are different. As long as her soul is alive, her connection to them will never be lost. No matter where she is.” Jin explained. Well, of course my Summoned Partners are different. All of them are Soul-Partner, after all. They and I are in a contact of Soul-Bond and is equal in our relationship. They call me Master but it wasn't like they are my servants or slaves. Our stands are equal in both ways.
That’s right. No matter where she is, no matter what world she’ll be at. Jin knew that by now, all her 12 Summoning Partners have already long ago knew that she is no longer in their old world but here. It is only a matter of time before they all come here. And when that happens... just thinking about it is already more than enough to send chills down Jin’s back.
“Okay, done. Minna, could you get Arise?” I asked.
“Okay, Sister Jenna!” Minna cheerfully answered as she went back into the wagon to get Arise.
Both I and Jin were sitting in front of the wagon with Linah. So when Samantha and Vinna came, wanting their hairs done, we both say okay. After that, Minna said she wanted it to so all the girls wanted one.
“Sister Jenna!” Arise, who is now 5 years old, a year and a half older than when we left Edge Village.
“Okay, calm down and sit down.” So energetic, compared to the skinny all bones no meat back then.
Jin smiled at the scene in front of him. Little Jen look so adorable with Arise seating in front of her chest with her back toward her like that. It reminds Kainen of when their daughter was still...
What is passed had passed already, no use thinking about it.
But... it will be nice if Little Jen and I have another child. Child huh... wait... what am I thinking about! Now isn’t the time!
“Idiot.” Jenna mouthed. Jin has to resist the urge to pout like a little kid. Of course, Jenna could tell what is on Jin’s mind even without using their connection.
“Okay, done!”
“Thank you, sister Jenna!” Arise say happily with a bright smile on her face.
“How long until we reach Ernos City?” Jin asked toward Linah, who is steering the wagon.
“Hmm, about another 2-3 days at this rate,” Linah answered.
“Ne, Linah. Tell me about the history of Mages in this continent.” After a long while of not talking and silently watching the greens passed by. Jenna got bored of feeling Jin’s staring at her.
“The history of Mages huh... *Sighing out loud* It’s a disaster that everyone knew of in this continent. “ Linah said with a grimaced and sadness on her face.
“What happen?” That got Jenna’s attention without a pause. So do Jin and the kids who were now listening from inside the wagon as they all perk up at the question.
“If you read any history book then you will know that in the past, about 10,000 years ago, the age of Magic was the time when average life far exceed now. Even when all the Beast back then was far stronger than the presents. An average life of a commoner who is at the most only a Tier 1 magician, almost everyone can live up to 150 years.
Unlike now when the most that they can live to is 100 years even without beast constantly going rampage.
Back then, nearly 80 percentages of all cultivators back were mages. The rest, were Warrior, Hunter, Archer, and the likes. It was truly the age of Mages.
However... this all changes when the King Beast fall in love with a Mage of the same gender. And it wasn’t one-sided.” Linah paused here with a complex expression on her face.
“It wasn’t just the King Beast that fell for that Human Mage by the Name of Aurin. It was love at first sight for both of them at the same time. According to legend, it said that Aurin was already a Grandmaster Magician of Tier 12 when he met the King Beast, the Dragon we all called Enma. No one at that time would have thought that the King Beast would give up everything just to turn into a human so he can be with Aurin.” Here, a pitying look passed thru Linah’s eyes as her voice soften.
“Enma and Aurin choose to forsake everything; family, friends, home, and even the very continent that they grow up in. All for love. They’d both left and headed toward the far East, way passed where Edge Village is at and made a small island of 100 miles. For years, they didn’t interact with human or beast but rather quietly living together in peace. However, human are greedy beings... when they found out that the Grandmaster Aurin and the King of Beast, the Dragon that no one can even harm due to how powerful he was, fall in love with each other and left everything behind, the human conspiracy against the Beast King’s kins.
The Dragon race was a race that loves Peace but that doesn’t mean that they are weak. In fact, it is because they are far too strong that they can withhold peace in the world. And as everyone knows, dragon blood and its very beings are a very precious thing in the world.
Because of greed, the most powerful clan’s master at that times all cooperated and decided to kill the Grandmaster Aurin and the King Beast. Since the Grandmaster, Aurin along has more than enough precious resources in her Interspatial ring that can increase the strength of a clan for more than 1000 years into the future, all the Clan’s master at that time was extremely cautious.
However, no matter how cautious they are, the King Beast Emma is and has always been the strongest at that time. Even in his human form. So, knowing that they can't do anything to him, they decided that they should target Grandmaster Aurin instead of King Beast Emma.
They poison him with an unknown kind of poison that locked his cultivation vein in places and poison smoked the Dragon King Beast.
However, even in human form, the King Beast is still the strongest being in the whole continent that anyone knew of. So, he killed all the Clan Masters. However, it was far too late by then. The Poison didn’t only lock the Grandmaster’s Aurin’s cultivation veins, it put him into a coma with no sight of waking up.
Luckily, because the Grandmaster Aurin was a Tier 12 Mage, he has enough Soul Force that can let him let live for another 3000 years even if there aren’t any externally force messing with him. After killing the clan's masters, he commanded his trusted subordinate and his brothers to eliminated those clans that involved.
And so, the King Beast flies far to the East, into a place where no human has ever been to and make a House there for his beloved before coming back.
In his rages, he commands all Beast in this part of the continent to rampage thru all the human’s cities and kills billions of people. The beast had already had hated the humans for what we did to them but after that action from the clans, they were more than happy to acts of their hatred. All the Clan’s that were involved were wiped out overnight.
Their cities and towns were wiped clean of everything, not even a drop of blood was left. As you probably notice, all the Clans that were involved were the ones that have the highest amount and strongest magician in the whole continent. Yet, just one night, over a billion of people died. All techniques and skills were lost in the fires. Those that survived were from small villages that have nothing to do with those Clans that involved in trying to assassinating the Grandmaster Aurin.
That is why now, Magician are the rarest and hardest to find out of all the other Cultivators. Warriors and Archers are the most commons ones among the human since we are the ones that have the lowest ratio of ‘Mana Clarify’.” Linah finished telling the story as she looks at me with a look that is equal to amazed and respects and awe at that same time.
I knew why she looks at me like that.
Why?
Because all the kids are now able to use magic. Something that completely will shock everyone if they knew that it was because all of the food that I had cooked for them, making their bodies to be able to absorb nature mana into their bodies with a certain percentage.
Linah herself can only absorb about 2 percentages of the surround nature mana yet now, that ratio increased to 13 percentages. She is now far stronger than before by not just her power but always the force in the spells that she casts are far stronger too.
Something that every other adult is more than thankful for since Linah wasn’t the only one that shows that increase in strength.
“Nee, Sister Linah. Can I ask a question?” Vinna asked with a clear eye full of confusion.
“Hmm? Sure.” Linah smiled at Vinna softly.
“The King Beast is a Dragon King, right? He is a male, right?” She asked.
Linah nodded with a smile.
“The Grandmaster Aurin is also a male too... How are they going to have a baby then?” She asked as she tilted her head to the side with a puppy look in her eyes.
"Pfft!" Jin nearly choked as he coughed out his laugh.
I have to smile because Vinna isn’t asking out of mockery but rather because she was worried that the King Beast and Aurin might not be able to have a baby. The kids from this world were taught since the young age, the age that is best for imprinting knowledge, that man and man can marry but can not have children. They had also taught kids, especially from the nobles ones, that woman and woman marrying are something that is to Look Up to because once in History, a woman actually married a Female Deity and bring peace and a state prosperity to mankind for as long as that woman was alive.
So for about 200 years of peace was granted by the Deity, the beast ignored the human all because of that Deity, too.
Of course, there is also another two Histories event that involved Male marrying Male. Like the King of a Kingdom actually marrying a boy that saved him before and then there’s that event involving the currently King of Skymorite who is still living in the Kingdom of Skymorite’s Capital, Crystal Moon City. The largest City out of all the human cities in this continent. Even Thousands Roses City, also known as Roses City, which has the largest amount of human in the whole continent, isn’t as large as Crystal Moon City.
Ah, that’s right. I forget. Ernos City isn’t the capital city for the Ernos Kingdom. Surprised?
So am I... so Am I....
The Kingdom of Ernos actually has two cities that are called Twin Cities: Black Moon City and Sun Crystal City. Both are sister-brother cities and they both are the capitals of Ernos Kingdom.
In another word, same-sex marriage was something of a Pureness in this world. Not that there are many people marrying their same orientation gender but it was noted and worship by both humans and beasts that it is a sacred thing to uphold onto.
“Aha, about that. They actually did have a child. A son before that mishap happen. That child is still alive today. He is the current King of Beast. Even though he is only a half dragon. No, maybe it’s because he is a half dragon that his power and strength far exceed his Father and Dad? He was able to use both Draconic Magic and Magic that human used. That’s why now the Dragon Race is at the top of the food chain even now. All the Dragon hate humans now but some choose to live among the human in their human form. Except they all follow strict rules: Do Not Get Involved with Human’s Wars. If they happen to married a Human, then that human will have to follow their rules for the rest of their lives and can not get involved with wars that human-made.” Linah said with a smile.
Vinna nearly burst open with happiness at that explanation while Jenna and everyone else smile.
I have a feeling that Vinna’s Mate might be a Dragon... Just a feeling... But then again, my instinct never betray me before.
“Ne, sister Linah. Are there a lot of dragons in this Kingdom?” Vinna and Rebecca asked at the same time, causing both of them to look at each other funnily. Rebecca's mate won't be a Dragon but someone from her line will have a mate from the dragon race. This much was in the Divination that I had seen a couple months ago before I decided to teach the adults a spell.
“Ah, this kingdom does have Dragon that is in their human form but because the Ernos Kingdom have the weakest of all human, they rarely visit it. After all, Dragon has Clear Eyes that are able to see their Soul Mate or Partner. They tend to search for their mates at stronger Kingdom like the Serenity Kingdom and the Skymorite Kingdom instead of the Ernos Kingdom.
But Rebecca and Vinna, both of you must know that Dragon is a race of Proud creature. Unlike human who is far too greedy for their own good, Dragons are not greedy so they don’t have a lot of children in their lives. They can only give birth to a child once every 100 years once they are mated. This had limited the numbers of Dragon in this world.
So, don’t expect to see a dragon in your life. If you see them, you won’t be able to tell them apart from other human anyway. After all, Dragon is very Proud and Picky when choosing their mates so they rarely let human knows that they are a dragon. Aside from a couple of dragons that choose human as their Mate or Partner, also all dragon mate within their own races. Of course, there is another false dragon like a Flood Dragon or Sea Dragon, dragons that aren’t able to flies, rarely does human get to see dragons.” Linah told them.
“Okay...” Rebecca smile why Vinna got quiet, not paying attention to what others say.
I smiled... It seems like the Magic Inscription that I have been teaching Vinna is now making Vinna’s instinct very sharp. That’s right. I have been teaching the kids a couple of the simple and clean magic spell. However, for Vinna, it wasn’t a spell but rather an Inscription.
What is an Inscription? And Inscription is a way of engraving and etching Magic Words into something such as armor or weapons, scrolls, and arrays. But in this case, it is inscribed into her eyes and blood.
Something that every Magician in their old world know how to do and use wasn't something that this world knew off. Well, at least not as well as her former world. Therefore, for this world, only Tier 8 and higher knows hows it. This makes both Jenna and Jin sighed in disappointment.
There are other kinds too besides just those fours usages for inscription.
For example, this and all the wagons that we are using are engraved with an Inscription spell that has a Barrier Protection array pattern on it. Even though it is a very weak one compare to the ones that I and Jin know, it was still strong enough that the Captain put his trust on it and place all of the important things inside it.
The grades of the inscription that I taught Vinna and the grade on the wagon is far too different. It is the difference between heaven and earth.
The grade of the magic array that I taught Vinna is actually a Living Array Inscription Spell Pattern. Out of all the kids, Vinna has the clearest and purest heart so her eyes are suitable for this kind of living array inscription spell. It is directly inscribed into her eyes using her own blood to nourished.
Usually, to Inscribed something into objects like armors and weapons, it is best to use blood from the beast that has certain kinds of Attributes, for example, Fire Element Beast like a Magma Beast or a Snow Element Beast like a Snow Bison. If using blood from a Fire Element Beast then it will make the Inscription a Fire Elemental inscription which can protect against that element but weak against the opposite element, which is Snow or Ice Element.
However, since the Ernos Kingdom is to the far South, the coldest it can get is around 40 degrees Fahrenheit, making it impossible to find any Snow or Ice base Element Beast. There is a lot of water beast like that King of the Forest, The White Wolves Pack, and the Python King Beast which is a Fire Attribute Beast, but there is no Snow or Ice base element beast at all. None.
The Magic Array in Vinna’s eyes was made using her own blood and it can grow up with her as she grows stronger. It will naturally form a protective barrier and an extra eye or a sixth sense for detecting dangerous such as poison and the likes. However, it seems like that sixth sense wasn’t for detecting dangerous but rather detecting her other side of her soul, her soul mate.
Ahhh... I can’t believe that this is happening. In my old world, there aren’t a lot of people who married outside of their clans because most of them don't like it when their bloodline is mixed with other people’s bloodline.
Which mean that people have long- like billions of years ago- long ago been protecting their bloodline, trying to make it thicker and thicker, which increase the rates that ones can absorb the magic in the air, earth, water, fire, sun, moon, and all. Which has naturally increase the chances that their family or clan can survive the beast from inside Magis Millions World. However, here, the magipoint within the people's bloodline was so thin out that the highest people can cultivate was to the peak of the Body and Form Stages. This was a huge disappointment for both Jin and me.
After all, comparing the beast from this world to Magis Millions World's beasts and it is like the differences between the heaven and the earth. This world’s beast is far too weak compared to the beast from their former world.
So, for both Jenna and Jin, whose memories of their past life are far too engraved into their very souls, something like marrying their own brother or sister is totally 100 percents okay. So, let's not mention things like same-sex marriage, okay?
Still, here in this world, such thing isn't possible. No, it is possible but they are looked upon with disgusting and hatred. Rarely did it happen. Well.... for a human at least. Beasts such as Dragon married their own brother and sister without a care in the world.
Comparing the two world, there is one other thing that both Jenna and Jin found out that are shocking.
The resources in this world are far-far-very far- more abundant than their old world. Something that should make the beast in this world stronger than ever but rather than helping it, it does that opposite. It doesn't help both sides at all that there is a whole lot of adundant resources.
There is a lot of abundance of resources such as mineral ores, herbs, and mana food.
Why? Because this world doesn’t have a Seeker!
What is a Seeker? Seeker is people who seek ways to use all kinds of things that will improve the human lives. Something that their old world has a lot of.
[Author’s Note: Seeker is exactly like a scientist, alchemy, and chief all mixed together. A very dangerous combination.]
If someone knew that both Jenna and Jin knew how to inscribed at this age, they will probably faint due to shock and then order someone to kidnapped them right away.
Which is why, both Jenna and Jin didn’t let the captain or anyone else know about it. With Jenna being able to make those bandages that are a tier 1 healing class was already shockingly. If they knew that she and Jin can do more than that... the headaches....
“Sister Linah, I want Lurin to go to a instituted in Ernos City, do you know any ones that are good and doesn’t look down on poor people?” Luke asked as he pets Lurin’s head, causing Lurin to smile pleasantly before looking at his brother with shock at the idea.
At their old village, Bulea Village, there was no teaching institution so their parents teach them how to read and write a little at the young age. So something like that was completely foreign for all the kids, except Jenna and Jin of course.
“Instituted? You mean like a school or a sect?” Linah asked. Luke nodded his head at her question.
“Yeah, there is. Let’s see... if I am not wrong, Luke, you are already 17 years old this year's right? And Lurin is already 15 this year's” She asked. Both Luke and Lurin nodded.
“And you both have never been to school before so... let’s see... Ah! There is one! It is called Grisarth, School of Beginner Magic and Craft. This is the only school that doesn’t care where you came from or what level you are in. As long as you follow three rules and regulations. You can join them for only 1 gold coins per year! It is the cheapest one in the world city. A lot of poorer people and kids join. There are no age limits and they will teach you according to your levels of understanding.” Linah smile brightly as she said.
“And Grisarth Institute is only three minutes walk away from the Orphan House!” Linah said with a bright smile on her face.
From her talk, I got the impression that the Orphan House is a will like places but I still don’t know why my instinct tells me to not stay there.
“Ne Linah. What kind of place is the Orphan House? I have been curious about them for a while now.” Jin asked before I could ask. Both he and I exchanges look. So, his instinct was also acting up.
We exchange looks as he put his hand out for me. I can feel my face smile without my permission as I take his hand and he pulls me to his chest.
So warm....
“The Orphan House... True be told, a couple of years ago, the Orphan House isn’t a place that I would want any kids to end up in since the Old Mistress was a crazy old woman that likes to abused children. However, after the death of the Old Mistress, the Orphan House got burned down to the ground by the children living there since that place was far too dark for anyone and they hate it. However, after the King of Ernos Kingdom heard the news that the Old Mistress was a crazy woman who lives to torture kids and that she died along with the burning orphanage house. The King himself was very mad and paid a visit to Ernos City along with 500 people from Black Moon City and Sun Crystal City.
They rebuilt the Orphanage House. Hired a new Headmaster that happens to be the Captain’s sister, who is also a healer. Since then, the Orphan House has gotten better. Although the kids there can only stay until they are 20 years old. The reputation there is no longer bad and it is crystal clear because of Captain’s sister, Melinda, who is a very kind soul who doesn’t like involving with the kingdom’s politics so there was no abusing child there,” Linah explained as her eyes brightened up.
“Of course, living in the orphan isn’t really free since you do have to work to be able to eat. But the works aren’t gruesome like the Old Mistress’s work that involved doing all kinds of hard labor. The King himself established a working system for the Orphan kids with the Adventure Plaza Square, The Summer Gardens Plaza squares, The Lilypad Square and most importantly, the Firefly Square that will hire the kids in the orphan who are 15 years old and above.
The paid rate is very high since those places are the places with the highest rate of commercial and marketing, including the auction house, which is in the Firefly Square.
The hardest work that the kids will have to do until they are 20 years old is working in the kitchen, a place where a lot of accidents happen.” Linah said with a look that said she experience it herself.
“You said it like you have been doing it,” I said as Jin and I snuggled together. So warm, this is the feeling that my soul is being warm up... not just my body but my soul too...
“... Yeah... I had... I was with the Old Mistress for only 3 days before she died of an illness but the memories I have of her wasn’t very good. Just three day of memories was enough for me to hte her to the bone. Just thinking about it was enough to scare me. I stay in the orphanage until the captain came and saw me and Keith when he was visiting his older sister, so he takes us away. The Headmaster nearly killed the captain for ‘luring’ us away with his stories of being a merchant's.” Linah laughed at the memories with a big bright smile on her face.
“Oh...” If the Orphan House wasn't such a bad place now then why did mine and Jin's instincts act up?
After that, we stopped talking since I fell asleep in Jin’s chest.
By the time that I woke up, it was from Jin’s stomach crying out in hunger.
I have to laugh out loud, which wakes the kids up because after I fell asleep, they too had fallen asleep.
It was already midday so it was no wonder that Jin would get hunger. He wasn’t the only one.
For immortal cultivators like me and Jin, we don't need to eat much once we hit a certain level but as of now, we do still need to eat three meals a day if we want to stay strong.
We stopped and make a small camping site right on the road and I cooked them a bit of the meat from the Baby Python snake-okay fine- from the King of the Forest. Along with herbs, vegetables, and a dash of Crystal Salt, which provided from the captain, who said that if I am cooking for everyone then he will provide the seasoning.
Something that all the adults and everyone else are more than happy to.
As I was cooking, without any warning, my sense of smell was penetrating by something that makes me suddenly dizzy.
“!!!” I can feel my head swagging as my vision blurred.
“Jenna!” Jin called out as I drop to the ground in front of the cooking pot.
“Little Jen! What’s wrong?” Jin asked worriedly as he picks me up and moved me away from the campfire. Afterall, I was a little too close to it when I drop to the ground.
“Shit... I didn’t see those plants... I am fine... Just a bit dizzy. It will pass in a bit.” All the adults crowded around me.
“You okay? What happen?” Keith asked since he was the closest to both me and Jin.
“Arg, just a mixed of smell make my head dizzy. I am okay now.” I said as Jin help me up.
“What happen?” Jin asked worriedly because he knew if something can make me this dizzy, then it is very dangerous.
I didn’t answer but instead turned toward the forest to my left.
“Jin, over there is a very common, tiny plant that has a huge, palmate leaves, which are usually light orange. It also grows large flowers, which can be light grey, gold black. Go pick it up. Be careful of an orange snake behind it.” I said as I point toward the forest.
“Okay,” Jin said as his eyes grow cold. Something that can make his little Jenna dizzy doesn’t deserve to live! And he didn’t mean the plant but rather the snake behind it!
With a throw of his small knife, the snake behind the plant makes a hissed and dropped dead with its head cut off.
A couple of minutes later, he comes back with the plant that Jenna has described.
“That’s a Golden Flower. It has no use and doesn’t do anything so how come you get dizzy from it?” Clapton asked since he can tell that this flowering plant is just for decoration and is very common.
“That’s where you are in the wrong, Captain. True, usually this flower doesn’t have any effect on anything other than being used for decoration purposes. However, this Golden Flower is a rare herb that can only be found in places that snakes populated or in places that have a lot of sunlight. If you know how to use it, it can be the most effective cure for poison or it can be poison itself.” I replied as Jin handed me the plant.
“Really?” Clapton asked.
“Yes. After I made the Elixir, I will give it to you to confirm it.” I said as I put away the herb into my ring and continue cooking. Jin watches me moved with the eye of a hawk that won't even miss a moment of mine.
“Okay.” The captain replied back as he went back to do his things.
Two hours later, we all finished eating and continue on. While the kids were listening to Jin telling them stories of how our old world is like, I was making an Elixir of pills using the Golden Flowers.
I don’t use the petal from the flower since the petals itself isn’t doing anything, instead, I use the seeds from the flowers and the roots of the plant itself. 20 minutes later, 10 small pill was in my hands.
The colors of the pills were the same as the flower, grey with a dash of gold and orange surrounding it. It gives out a very sweet like smells that are similar to honey.
This is the Thousand Cure Pills... something that in my old world are hard to find because there’s rarely any Golden Flower.
One Golden Flowers make 10 small pills. Not bad. This plant is very mature. The reason why I got dizzy isn’t that of the plant itself but rather because the snake was behind the plant, causing the smell from the flower itself to mixed with the venomous from the snake into the air, as the results, it contracts the fire camp and penetrates my smelling senses.
After that, I give 5 pills to the captain and keep the other 5 with me just in case. Since the captain is a Priest, he has the skills and spells that can read the causes and function of the pills so I am not worried about it.
He can sell it if he wants or keeps it for uses.
Later, I might sell the recipes to the Alchemy Guild.
It was a couple of hours later when the captain came on the back of the line where our wagon is at to talk to me.
I, Jin and all the kids were meditating when the captain knock on the wagon. Waking both me and Jin.
“I’ll go see what he need,” I said to Jin as he nodded before going back to meditating.
“What it is?” I asked, seeing the exciting look in the captain’s eyes.
“Jenna, do you know what rank this pill is?!” He wanted to shout out loud but he refrains since he knew that the kids are meditating. His excitement makes everyone else curious. Linah, Keith, and everyone else turned to us, listening to our conversation.
“What rank? That’s only a low-rank Elixir. Why are you so excited?” Jenna asked, feeling confused as to why the captain is so excited. True, the pill can pretty much cure any kinds of poison but that only applies to poison from Red Blood Beast. It isn’t worth all the excitement.
“Low Rank? Are you joking with me? This is a High-Grade Cure- did you called this an elixir? Not a pellet?” The captain blinked his eyes in confusion at Jenna’s naming the pills.
“What it is?” Why is the captain asking me a stupid question?
“Pellet is different from elixir. Pellet is only one time instantly use and doesn’t last over time. However, elixir last longer and it stays in the body for a limited amount of times. I thought that you knew this already?” I asked the captain.
“... Stay in the body for a limited amount of time?” It wasn’t the captain that answer this but rather Keith who look like he was going into shock.
“What is wrong with you guys?” I asked. Seriously, seeing all the adults look like they are in shock make Jenna a little annoyed.
“Jenna, do you know that out of all the pills that we have ever used before in our whole life are all either for only when it is absolutely necessary like when the captain cannot do anything to help or it is when we are poison so badly that Curing of the captain can’t catch up to. The pills that we take will only last 1 minutes. ONE MINUTE... And that is already the pills that cost us at least 10 gold coins per pills.” Keith answer. This is the first time that I had heard Keith talk this long.
He must be very excited.
“... one minute?” And you guys called that pellet? Is the alchemy in this world that low?!
“Yes. One Minute!” They all answered. Nearly shout out loud.
“Okay... What do you want me to do about that?” Is not like I am the one that makes that pellet of yours!
Rather, are you guys sure that those are pills and not crystallized Serum?
“I want you to make us a couple more of those... elixir as you called it. Can you? Of course, I will pay you for it.” The captain asked.
“Yeah. Sure. As long as you guys gather enough Golden Flower, Dragon Ginger, Demon Flowers, Candy Weed, Heart Petal, Blue Strip Vines and Black Sage. I can make them.” I said to them.
“Sure. All of those herbs are pretty common ones that I have in the cart. Except for Golden Flower, I have everything.” The Captain said excitedly.
“Give those that you have to me and go gather the Golden Flower. Be careful of snakes because those snakes love the sweet smell of the flower.” I said.
“Okay, it’s only 3 now so we will be stopped for another 1 hours. We will go gather the flowers then.” Captain said.
Jenna nodded as she went back inside the wagon. Jenna can feel that all the adults are very excited to the idea of having a couple of Thousand Cure Pills on themselves. After all, the ones that I made can last up to one full week upon taking it. This for them is probably heaven sent.
However, this just makes my opinion of the alchemy level in this world more... lower.
“Jenna?” The captain called from outside.
“Yes?” I asked as I peek outside.
“These are all the herbs that you listed.” He said as he handed me a large pile of herbs that are being tight in a clothing.
“Okay. I will keep those until you guys find enough Golden Flower. Let’s see... hmm... with this portion, about 30 Golden Flower should be enough. Ah! That’s right, tell them to dig out the root and not just the flower.” I said to Clapton.
“Got it.” He left after that as I put all the herbs into my rings.
There’s Dragon Ginger, Demon Flowers, Candy Weed, Heart Petal, Blue Stripes Vine and Black Sage. All that is left is Golden Flower. However, if I included in Moon Sage, Black Basil, Grand Ash Mustard, Stars Limestone Powder, Crystal Tears drop, and 50 drop of blood from that baby snake, I can make the elixir stronger and last longer. Not to mention, with 30 Golden Flowers, I can make up to 300 elixirs but if I added those herbs and about another 10 drops of water, that 300 pills will be 500 pills instead.
Should I? Since I do have those extra herbs.
Hmm... let’s do a half and a half.
15 Golden Flower can make 150 pills and the rest can be used to make a higher grade pills. 300 of them. Okay, I decided!
Now, time to meditate.
__ Time skip__
While I was cooking dinner, all the kids and the adults left to gather the herbs, leaving Jin, Keith and Hylian to ‘guard’ me. Something that I and Jin knew that we didn’t need. However, the thoughts are nice so we didn’t protest.
“Little Jen, what are you making this time?” Jin asked as he stirred the stew while I made the other dishes.
There were three fires camps that are in full fire. Jin is stirring the last one which has the stew, while the middle one was barbecuing some meat that Starz, the 5th seat of the merchant group, caught while out hunting for the flowers. It was a small- well small for me at least- a rabbit that has two tails.
A Two-Tailed Rabbits... I hope that it is not what I think it is... no, this beast doesn’t have a core so it is not.
The last one was for cooking Wild Red Rice with Black Anise, Cinder Leaves, Snowy Parsley that I have the kids brought from the town before, Ruby Bay Leaf, Earth Coriander, Pygmy Celery and Forest Sage. This is a mana-infused porridge.
Not an ordinary porridge and you know it because the smell that is coming out of the pot was making Keith, Hylian and Jin’s stomachs crying out in protest. I can already see the saliva coming out of Keith and Hylian’s mouth.
“Let’s see, that’s the stew with the baby snake’s meat, a two-tailed rabbit that is being barbecued and herbal porridge,” I answered with a small smile on my face.
Jin smiled softly at the image of Jenna cooking. He can’t help it if his hands wanted to huge Jenna tight into his chest.
Jenna’s eyes brows twitch as she feels how Jin’s feeling it thru their connection. She has to fight the blushed that is making its way toward her face and fight on how fast her heart beat is.
‘So cute.’ Jin telepathically said.
‘Idiot. Stop distracting me or you won’t get to eat dinner tonight’ I warned.
What? Jin is far too distracting when he is this near to me... It not like I can help it. It had only been a week since his ‘Awaken’, I can’t help it if my soul and his missed each other this much, can I?
I just want to be in his chest all the times... But... it is too embarrassing with Samantha and Rebecca always trying to tease us whenever nighttime come in.
Yes, we are sleeping together. Is not like we can help it. This two bodies of ours are in their teens' age you know. Hormones are a pissed in the a**...
‘Okay... Ah, Little Jen, it seems like the adults are back- OH MY GOD!’ Jin exclaimed in the telepathy, making me surprised as I turned toward where Jin is looking at.
Right.
Oh my God...
Not really...
It was just that they are being chased by a... wait... it that a Hellebore Plant Beast that is chasing them?!
“Pfff!” I can’t help it as I laughed so hard.
“Hahahahah!” both Jin and I laughed while the adults are running for their lives.
Those idiots.
“Jin, go take care of it. Here, use this.” I said as I handed him a bright red flower that looks exactly like the Plant Beast that is chasing the captain, only way smaller. A Hellebore Wanium. A Peace offering flower.
Nodding, Jin when to take care of the Hellebore Plant Beast. It’s not like that plant is carnivores. They just like to play chase with the human to show their love. If you show them a Hellebore Wanium, a kind of flowers that look exactly like them, only far smaller in size and it is an actual plant, the Hellebore Plant Beast will stop chasing them and give them the fruits that they born as thanks for playing with them.
I really don’t know why all the adults are so scared of it.
Unless...
‘Jin, be careful, that plant beast might be a carnivore.’ I send the thought to Jin.
After all, this world’s beast is a bit different from the ones in my old world. I can’t be 100 percents certain in cases like this.
‘Okay.’ Jin said as he walked toward the Beast Plant.
For some reason, this makes my instinct scream at me.
And I never doubt it.
“SHIT!” I cursed as I ran toward them.
“JIN, DON’T GO NEAR THAT BEAST!” I screamed.
‘Huh? Okay.’ Jin stopped walking toward the running adults as I caught up to them.
“What is it, Little Jen? Why are you so worried?” Jin can feel the anxiety that I am feeling.
“Where are the kids?” I asked, seeing that those that running are only the adults. There were no kids in sight.
“!!!” That got Jin’s attention.
“Shit!” I cursed.
“Jin, go watch the food. I will take care of this myself.”
“O-okay.” Jin can feel the bloodlust and the murdering thought from the deep of our connection.
“Oh shit. That’s a Carnivorous Plant Beast!” Both Keith and Hylian exclaimed in fear as they prepare their weapons to meet witht he so call carnivorous plant beast.
I didn’t bother answering them as I pour mana into the lower half of my body and my feet. Feeling the rush feeling of mana traveling down toward my feet, I ran toward the Plant Beast as I silently cite a Magic Spell that I barely use in the past in my old life.
I flashed past by the adults, who cried out in alarm at the speed that I went by.
“Jenna! Don’t! Come back!” Both Clapton and Linah cried out as they stopped in their tracks.
I totally ignored them.
Stopping right in front of the beast, causing it to startled at the bloodlust that is coming out of the little girl in front of it, the beast frighteningly stops its track.
The scary bloodlust that is coming out of the small human girl in front of the beast was so bone-chilling scary that the beast froze in fear and didn’t dare to move an inch.
“WHERE ARE THE KIDS?” The voice that comes out wasn’t from the girl's mouth but rather from the air surrounding the girl's itself.
“Grw....” It growled weakly as it shivers in fright. The thick bloodlust from the girl was very scary.
Something this scary shouldn’t be on this side of the continent! Was the beast inner thought but he was far too scared to make any more.
“WHERE Are THE KIDS?!” This time, the voice was full of killing intents that it causes the Plant Beast to collapse into the ground in fear.
“Grr... N-no kids...” The voice that comes out from the Plant Beast was full of fear and it was in a quivering voice.
“No Kids? Didn't you see any kids? Then why are you chasing the human?!” Jenna asked as she glared at the Plant Beast. Causing it to turned into something that looks more like a small kitten in fear of a tiger.
“H-hungry... M-master t-tell me to e-e-e-eat human.” The Beast answered in fear.
This little Human is one thousand and ten times scarier than it’s master!
“And you listen to it?” Jenna growled out.
Jenna’s instinct was right again. This Plant Beast wasn’t an actual plant beast! It was a summon Beast!
“C-c-can not d-d-d-isobey. M-m-master has m-my little sapling. He w-will kill t-them if I disobey.” The Plant Beast answered with something that sounds like he was crying.
Wait... he?
“You are a Male. How are you in this world?” I asked, this time was with a far more bloodlust and killing intent than before.
I know that Azaroth has long ago forbidden Male Plant Beast from making contact with Human since they have the jobs of protecting Mother Nature in their world. When Azaroth demand Azeroth to come back to the Forest of Life, he had made sure that Azeroth will not be able to come back to the physical plane of the Human. What? Azaroth is Azeroth's Great-Grandfather if you can call it.
“M-my W-wife is here. I c-came l-looking for her and the human caught me.”
This piece of stupid plant thinks that he can lie to me?!
“Lies!” Jenna didn’t bother asking another question because she can detect the lies in the Plant Beast’s Heart. This Plant Beast is corrupted! It does not come here looking for his wife, rather, it came here because it was summoned by someone whose heart and soul was tainted in darkness! This Beast was already corrupted before coming here!
Without waiting for more explanation, Jenna moves her hand and everything within 10 meters of her freeze into Ice.
The beast can feel that his roots are now completely freezing in completely solid ice and it is making its way toward his Heart.
“No!” It screamed but was far too late as one second later, everything that is the Plant Beast completely frozen in a statue of Ice.
A 10 meter Plant Beast was frozen in 1 seconds.
“Burst!” Jenna shouts as she moved her hand in a wave.
BOOM!
“Be Gone!” With another wave of Jenna’s hand, a tempest raised with flames and incinerate everything of the Plant Beast, including its soul.
Taking a deep breath, Jenna concentrates and incite a tracking spells for the kid’s magic aura.
She is the one that taught them magic, after all, so she can track them easily. Finding them to the West, not where the Beast was chasing the adults from, Jenna finally calms down.
However, she didn’t stop tracking. This time, she was tracking the small aura that she feel connecting to the Heart of the Plant Beast.
Jenna closed her eyes...
10 miles... 20 miles... 50 miles... 100 miles...
While she was searching for the aura, the adults were all freezing in their spots. The shock that they feel from the Plant Beast being freezing in 1 seconds flat and the powers in which the Beast burst then the Tornado of Flames that came from nowhere, causing all the adults to feel shocked that makes their knees go soft and they all collapse to the ground.
“W-what...” The captain whispered to himself.
That beast was a Tier 6 Rank 10 Beast! How was it that Jenna killed it so easily!
If only they knew that this beast was only in its Form and Body Stage, they all would faint due to the shock. Not to mention, this wasn’t even a true Beast from this world naturally, but rather, it was summoned.
“What just happen?” Marked asked with his face and voice in a daze. Mark is the 8th Seat of the Merchant Group.
“I..I...” The captain can’t even finish his sentence.
“What happens? Nothing happens. Little Jen just gets ripe of a corrupted Plants, that’s all.” Jin answered as he helped the adults that were injured and wraps small rolls of bandages that had clearly been used before over the wounds.
Within seconds, the wounds closed up and were healed. Then he unwrapped the bandages and repeat on other adults.
“...” There is nothing that the adults can say to that.
“What is Jenna doing? She isn’t moving.” Asked James, the 15th Seat of the Merchant group.
“She is searching for the kids,” Jin answered.
“The kids? They’re not with us though.” Answered Mark.
“She knows. Now she’s searching for the ones that summoned that Plant Beast. I can say now for sure, whoever it was that summoned that Beast, is going to be in a world of Pain, there won't be anything left of him or her after Little Jen is finished with them.” Jin asked with a smirked on his face.
“And this is one of the reasons why I never ever wanted to pissed of Little Jen too much. She is freaking damn scary when she’s mad.” Jin said with a shiver.
Jenna opened her eyes as he narrowed them to the direction that the connection is from.
‘Jin, go get the kids. They’re picking flowers to the west. A little of 2 miles away. I will be right back’ Jenna telepathically told Jin.
‘Okay, be careful okay?’
‘Yeah.’
In a flash, Jenna vanished from her spot, causing all the adults to jerked in surprised.
“Well, then should we go get the kids? Jenna is very mad right now so she’s going to blow off some stream. Linah, could you go watch the food? It’s nearly done now so don’t cooked it for too long. Besides, the barbeque rabbit might be burned if you don’t hurry~.” Jin said as he turned toward the west and ran over there, both Mark and James follow right behind him.
“Okay,” Linah answered as she rushed back toward the campsite with the other two girls.
By the times that Jenna came back, all the kids were already finished eating and are all sleeping since the sun had already set.
“Little Jen, you are back. Here, your portion of the food.” Jin didn’t bother asking how the event went because he knew without a doubt that the person who is responsible for summoning a Corrupted Beast Partner now dies. Better yet, there won’t even be any left over.
“Thanks,” Jenna said as she smilingly eats her food. However, the smile that is on her face causes all the adults to shivers in fear since it reeks of bloodlust. As she eats, slowly, the smile on her face turned into a warm smile that causes all the adults to sigh out loud in relief.
‘Jin was right. Jenna is very scary.’ They all thought to themselves as they made their ways to do their things. Some were on shift for the night as the guard while others went to their sleeping places in their wagon. The captain didn’t bother asking anything since he clearly knew that he doesn’t have the heart to asked and he probably can’t handle the answer so he didn’t ask.
And so the night progressed.
