《Strongest Tree》Chapter 40
Advertisement
The five walk towards the pillar of light while guarding up for any suspicious things that they might encounter
In just a few minutes inside a small forest they reached their destination but they were taken aback on what they saw
They speculated different things that they will encounter like a powerful foe that is perhaps more powerful than a Knight Rank Supernatural or a Rank 3 creature
Perhaps there is some sort of treasure that cause those lights but what they saw was a small simple wooden building
The wooden building was just a small one and look so ordinary, it was to the point that anyone who saw it will just think that before the apocalypse era someone made a small hut inside the forest to rest
On top of the wooden building a signage can be seen containing the words "Angel's Shop"
Kence tried sensing what is inside it and he can't sense the slightest bit of aura on it, it was as if it's really just a small wooden hut
"[Innate Skill: Nature's Battle Armor!]" Kence immediately activated his most powerful skill in case something unexpected will happen
He slightly pushed the door and it was easily opened
One by one they slowly entered and they were shock at what they saw
On the outside the wooden hut appears to be so small that if five people entered at the same time it will be too crowded inside
However, the space inside the shop was a few times bigger than what it looks like outside
They also discovered that the energy inside is denser than outside. Outside they felt that the energy were a mixture of everything and was very messy, they cannot explain it quite well but it seems like the energy outside was composed of different energies. But inside the hut, they felt that there is only a single type of energy present
Calter spread his senses, before they can only sense the energy but now he saw how the energy inside was pure white in color
When they cultivate they only sense the energy that appears to be vapor like white or it was more accurate to describe it as colorless but now the energy he sense gained a pure dazzling white color
Calter removed his focus first about it and started looking at the surrounding
The inside of the shop was quite simple, there are a few wooden shelves containing various things that they didn't know and never seen before
The items on the shelves are placed neatly as if the one who put them there is obsess in cleanliness
On the other end of the shop they saw a small half round wooden table that looks like a counter
Inside the counter they saw the most beautiful woman they ever saw smiling at them
It was as if time itself stop because of the woman's face, her dazzling smile numb all their senses and at that time all they want to do is to stare at this beauty
Even the most beautiful women on the magazines can be called as ugly women if they compare them to the woman in front of them

"Welcome to the Angel's Shop" the woman's angelic voice was as beautiful as her appearance, even the most beautiful song paled in comparison on just her normal voice
Everything about the woman exudes a pure aura as if having any malicious thoughts about her was something that will already tain this beauty
It took quite some time for the five to recover from their shock but no one of them has the courage to speak
"Umm hello?" The Angelic woman called out, although all of them know that not speaking at all and just staring at the woman is rude but they just can't find their voice to speak
The angelic woman chuckled, she snapped her fingers and a white mask covered half of her face
When she covered her face Kence and the others saw the illusion that the world dimmed and the one that light up the world was the woman's face that is now covered by a mask
Although her face was covered no one will believe that under that mask is an ugly woman, even her moist red lips was enough to make any man willing to lose their lives just to get a taste of
The five recovered and cough awkwardly
Calter stared at the woman and he felt a sense of closeness towards her. The woman noticed it and just smiled as if she was expecting it
"W-who are you?" Kence asked and look at the various things on the shelves and he can sense that all those things contained energy inside them. Any things that has energy was bound to be something that is not normal
"And what is this place?"
The woman expecting this questions chuckled once again, thankfully her face was already covered if not then Kence and the others are sure that her voice will once again numb all their senses
"Hi, I am Ariel, I am the owner of the Angel's Shop Branch here" Ariel looked around the various goods in the shops "all of the things here are beneficial for supernaturals"
She spread her pam and a ball like thing appeared on her palm "this is a Holy Attribute Energy Pearl" she closed her palm and the Energy Pearl disappeared
"Any type of Energy Pearl are the currency here in my shop, all things here can only be bought with Energy Pearl"
"What is Energy Pearl?" Kence asked as this was the first time he heard of those things
Ariel once again spread her palm and a translucent ball like thing appeared on it "this is a raw Energy Pearl"
From her palm a few white energy particles came out and entered the pearl
The translucent pearl slowly gained a brilliant white light inside "this is a Rank 2 Energy Pearl"
The pearl flew from her palm and hovered in front of Kence
Kence sense the energy inside the pearl, the amount of energy was shocking to him
He only had roughly as much energy inside the pearl when he broke through the Knight Rank. Kence looked towards Ariel who appears as if the energy she used was just a drop on the energy inside her which is actually the case

Just who Ariel is? She is a Rank 4 Angel. Even the weakest Rank 4 creature can easily kill a bunch of Rank 2 Creatures without even sweating as the amount of energy they have was not something that Rank 2 Beings can compare!
Kence can only thank how fortunate they are as it appeared that Ariel doesn't want to harm them in the slightest
"What are you?" Kence asked, he was sure that a being like this was not a human from earth
A woman with beauty that is so out of this world, power that rivaled no one and having things that the earth doesn't have how can she be a normal woman?
The woman opened her mouth to answer but before she can speak any words Calter's voice was heard by all of them
"She is an Angel" all of them looked towards Calter who immediately realized what he did
She looked straight to Ariel's eyes "I don't know why but I just knew that you are an Angel"
The two stared at each other with no one willing to back down
"An Angel? Little Calter although she has angelic beauty but all Angels have wings right?" Cesar joked when he sense the atmosphere between the two. Even he cannot sense the woman's power as if she was just an ordinary human but who would believe that?
If he can't sense even the slightest amount of power from Ariel that only means that Ariel's power was far above him. Thus, they cannot risk provoking her
A moment of silence passed before Ariel ended it "No, not all Angels have wings"
"Just as what you expect with a Virtue Angel"
Ariel stood up and walk towards them, the others except for Calter were intimidated and unconsciously took a step back
Calter didn't felt any sense of threat from Ariel even though she was clearly more powerful than all of them combined, he only felt a sense of closeness and kinship
Ariel stopped in front of Calter, she squatted down and pat the kid on his head
"The heavens truly favored a Virtue Angel"
The four recovered and took a deep breath "What is a Virtue Angel?" King asked and walk closer towards his son
Even though Ariel look harmless but the fact that she is so powerful was enough for him to not let his guard down. Even so that the woman was so close to his son
Ariel stood up and walked back on the counter "sorry, I can't say it for now" Ariel smiled apologetically
The others specially Calter was disappointed. They didn't let Calter transform into the form that he use when they fought Sun because his power appeared out of nowhere and it might be something that will harm him
Just look at Sun, some sort of transformation also appeared on his body and it made his attitude more twisted than before. Thus, to be safe as much as possible they refrain Calter on using that form
"All I can say is that the power from being a Virtue Angel is beneficial if you want him to survive in this world"
Since they cannot get an answer from what it looks like a powerful Angel Kence turned his attentions back to the various items on the shop
"Then how do we get an Energy Pearl?" Kence asked, for now what he wants is to buy anything here in the shop that will increase their strenght
Ariel clapped her hands and on the wooden counter ten ball like thing like the previous one appeared
"I'll give you ten of these empty Energy Pearls. For every ten pearls you need to pay me one that is full of energy and the rest are yours"
Kence walk towards the counter and took one of the empty pearls
He stared at it but he can't see anything special about it. From his palm light green energy particles came out and entered the empty pearl
Only when the pearl absorbed a huge chunk of Kence's energy that it became full. Kence was shock at how much energy was needed just to fill a single pearl
Even he a mid-stage Knight can only fill a few of these pearls
Kence grabbed another pearl and started filling it with his energy. When he fully filled the third pearl all of his energy was already completely used up
Even he can only fill a maximum of three of these pearls at the same time before running out of Energy. Early-stage Knight might only be able to barely fill one of these pearls or in worse case scenario even all of their energy was not enough!
"Wow you actually filled three of them! It's good to have two bodies right?"
Kence stared at the Angel and frowned, it was one thing to be powerful but how did she know that he have two bodies?
"Don't worry, I won't harm anyone" Ariel shrugged her shoulder
As she is more powerful than them without a choice Kence just let it be and took a blue fruit to consume. He felt so exhausted now because all of his energy were completely used up
"I'll give you an advice because you are a friend of a Virtue Angel. You don't know how lucky you are to have two perfect bodies, don't waste any of them"
Kence stopped eating the energy fruit when he heard the Angel's voice. He knitted his brows in confusion "what do you mean?"
The Angel smiled mysteriously "you need to find the answer on your own"
Kence frowned irritatedly, this Angel know so much about this world but only gave out vague knowledge. How can he not feel unsatisfied?
