《Strongest Tree》Chapter 55
Advertisement
"Now then, what do we do with all these corpses?" Looking at the area around them littered with corpse from all kinds of creatures will made want to vomit
"Not to mention that disgusting smell" Ivy said while pinching her nose. Everywhere you turned your eyes you will surely see blood, organs and animals parts. If they want to occupy the forest they need to clean these things
Also, coincidentally this place was the heart of the forest. The inner most part and the place that has the most amount of energy attributes they have. If it was before this sea of corpse would surely be something akin to a treasure trove with them. All they need is to absorb all of these creatures and their strength will skyrocket. However, if they want to make their future cultivation easier they won't dare do that
"I have an idea" Kence said and from him came out his tree body that he didn't have a time to use lately because of its inability to move. The original carnivorous flower, Flower Flora now grew in size and was a bit larger than a basketball
It was also accompanied by ten others of its kind. Kence originally had the thought of making an army with them but these flowers can't move much. It would he hard for them to be an effective asset. However, now their time to shine has come
With the connection that Kence has with Flora he tried transmitting his intentions on it. As if it was an intelligent creature it nodded her head before the ten carnivorous flower around it slowly crawled down from the tree and started eating the bodies everywhere
Since they are 'carnivorous flower' they are the perfect 'cleaner'
The flowers opened their mouth and bite down joyfully on their food. Kence turned his focus on them, these flowers will also increase their strenght by eating these corpse that contained energies. However their energy attributes are different and their energy will become impure but perhaps there are creatures that has solution for it, he might learn something about it
After eating a whole body and god knows where it ended up as these flowers are so small to fit it the flowers stopped and crawled back to the tree body. It looks like they were resting and digesting the food. Unlike Kence and the others, when they absorb a creature the rise in power or replenishing energy was instant, however Kence saw that this was not the case for these flowers
They didn't immediately gained more power but it was a slow process. Kence doesn't know what it means for now so he decided to throw this matter at the back of his mind for now. He turned his eyes on Flora as if asking why it didn't ate just like its kind. As if understanding what Kence meant the flower crawled towards of the blue fruits and ate it. Seeing this made Kence's face darkened
"Are you really a carnivorous flower? You look herbivore to me" Kence rolled his eyes, this damn flower always eat his fruits. Although that was not too bad of a thing because now it reached the early stage of Knight Rank. Fortunately her underlings didn't eat Kence's fruits but it also made them to be stuck in the mid stage of Warrior Rank

The flowers' own cultivation speed was painfully slow, it might be because they didn't eat 'meat' just like a normal 'carnivorous flower'
Even when Kence and the other occasionally hunt animals to eat he also forgot feeding them. They are really pitiful.
Kence handed one-third of his blue fruits to Flora "Make as many flowers you can with these fruits okay?" With only ten carnivorous flowers who knows when will they finish eating all the bodies here. Flora happily ate another blue fruit again and soon a new carnivorous flower was born. The flower slowly crawled down from the tree and another body was fully eaten
Since the matter was settled, Kence turned his focus back to his family. "King, I need you to find the closest Angel Shop around here"
"Yes, My Lord!" King said before hugging his son "be a good boy while I'm gone okay?" Calter nodded "be careful dad!"
"Use this time to train yourself, you have a high fighting potential" aside from Kence, King might be the one who was the best at fighting. If not for Calter having strength that came from being an Angel, King would surely be the second strongest person in their team
Kence took another one-third of blue fruits coupled with a few green life fruits from his tree body and gave it to King. "Put this on your backpack. No need to be stingy on them, your safety is the highest priority"
Although he didn't want to put King in danger but they really need to find an Angel Shop. They only bought a single item from it but looked at how it made them stronger and learned things about cultivation. For them, the Angel Shop was even more valuable than the sea of corpse they have
King then said 'good bye' to everyone before walking away. "I will stay here with my tree body to cultivate and make more blue fruits to give to Flora" using two-thirds of his energy replenishing fruits made him a bit uncomfortable and insecure. He always wants to have a huge stock of everything that will make their survival higher
"I know you will not be comfortable in here because of the smell, you can find a temporary shelter. Since the forest is now devoid of any creature it should be safe"
"Ivy, I want you to familiarize yourself with your new poison ability" Ivy nodded her head and was very determined to make herself stronger for their small family
"Cesar, I want you to make a Rune barrier as big as you can that can sustain itself. That will be a foundation for our base's defense" Cesar also nodded his head, although his ability for now can't create a barrier that will envelope the whole forest but for now their group was still small. They can make small barriers for now, but the challenge was making a self-sustainable barrier. After all, once a Rune's energy that the Rune Master provided it were fully used up it will automatically lose it effect
"Calter, I need you to try uncovering all the power that you have as an Angel" Calter nodded his head too, even without Kence's words he was the diligent of them all and would surely try his best to become stronger and stronger

Without anyone knowing, this day was the start of a group that will dominate the world. A group that everyone has a role to play
Kence as the Guardian that is not only strong himself but can also make his team stronger
Calter as a Virtue Angel that is favored by the world itself causing him to possess high amount of 'Luck'
King as someone who has a high potential and in the future would surely be an extremely powerful Warrior
Cesar as the Supporter of the group with his Runes that will assist everyone on their group
Lastly, Ivy as the Poison Master that will made their enemies tremble in fear

"Sister, why aren't you eating. Are you perhaps missing someone?" Annie's teasing voice travelled inside their carriage which made Anna broke free from her state of staring at an empty space
"Just eat!" Anna rolled her eyes and took her own compressed biscuit but she didn't have enough appetite. As for the reason who knows if it was because she was already tired of eating compressed biscuits or her little sister was really right
"Hmm, what does Kence and the others are doing now" Anna's grip on the biscuit hardened causing cracks to spread on it. "Eh? Sister what are you doing?"
Annie's teasing voice and smile made Anna to question just why did she has to have a sister like this. Anna put back the biscuit as she really don't want to eat now. "I'm going to cultivate for now"
Saying this she exited the interior of their small carriage and sat on its roof while gazing at the full moon in the sky. Annie slowly climb up on the carriage's roof too while looking at her sister who was currently in a emotional turmoil. She lose her playful attitude and hug her sister
"Once we reunited with mom and dad we will go back there okay?" Annie's soft voice coupled with the night atmosphere was like those in a movie where she was trying to comfort the heroine
"They are alive right?" Anna asked even though she knew her sister didn't know the answer to that too. Nonetheless, Annie nodded hand said "I'm sure they are"
"When we finally saw our parents we will go back to Kence and the others. We can help each other, they are strong you know"
"Thank you, Annie" Annie kissed her sister's cheeks before coming back to her usual self "Anything for my sister's love life!"
Anna blushed in shame and glared at Annie "Stop talking nonsense!"

On the roof on one of the tall building in the city a man with black wings can be seen cultivating. The man was covered by a dense layer of black powerful and pure energy
His mind was in the deep parts of the earth inside the black ball of energy that contained an extremely high amount and pure energy. Energies that are millions of time superior that the ones in the surrounding
Although the energy loses its purity when he absorbed it but the energy he absorb was still a lot purer than normal. When he first has access on this energy he cannot store it on his body and was only able to use it because of the word 'envy' on his forehad. However after some time, with his continous attempt he was finally able to absorb this energy on his body by further degrading its purity
It might not be as powerful and pure as the ones he can use using the 'envy' word on his forehead but it was still far purer than other supernatural's energy. With this his cultivation speed will left normal people in dust, he estimated than in almost a month he will surely broke through in the mid stage of Grand Knight Rank!
Even until now, the big cities number 1 expert was still in the peak of the Knight Rank while Sun was already on the third Rank. While in a bit less than a month he will become a mid stage Grand Knight!
His rate of advancement was not something even the top experts of humanity can achieve. They can only look at him in 'Envy'
A figure that has features similar to Sun landed on the rooftop. Sun stopped his cultivation for now and opened his dark eyes. Although he didn't have any expression on his face but the slight arc on the side of his lips showed that he was happy
"Are you still cultivating? When will you take a rest? It's either you cultivating or fighting some sort of creatures!" the old scientist scolded, if it was other people Sun would immediately become enrage and kill the one who dared to say words like that to him. Fortunately, the one in front of him was his 'Grandpa Derry'
"Says the one who was always coop up inside his lab" Derry felt a dissatisfaction on Sun's voice even though the latter tried to make his voice normal and his words was just something he said as rebuttal
Fortunately, Derry saw Sun as his Grandson and he didn't become angry when he learned that he became Sun's servant or slave. His life was on the younger one's hands but Sun didn't mistreated him. In fact since the incident from the city although Sun acted like a cold person but he was just like a kid hiding his care for someone he love
"You know that it was for the sake of making our organization stronger" all his whole life, Derry devoted everything of him to make Satan's hand as strong as possible
"I know and I am always striving to become stronger for that too" Sun's word warmth the old man's heart and he smiled. "Come, I need to stretch these old bones of mine. Let's fight some monster!"
Without saying a word, Sun unfolded his wings and flew in the air with the old scientist behind him. Just who would have thought than these two would take fighting and killing as their bonding?

8 107Theory of Rifts (LitRPG)
You can join my Discord here. Keynes Kid is gifted with a photographic memory and being several months away from receiving Level 1, and a Talent, he finds himself in the center of attention of people who want to shape his Talent. If they can get him an intelligence related Talent, they will hit a jackpot. The Talent Unlocking ceremony finally comes and Keynes Kid receives… Error… Anomaly (What?) His new talent is… useless. Why then does the World Government want Keynes so badly they will silence anyone who knows about his Talent? At the same time... Somewhere in the Universe, ancient beings stir from their slumber, awoken by the system alert and the wall of glaring red warnings. Their greatest fear just manifested and they are hell-bent on erasing it from existence. -------- It is a slow-development story, so you won't find the MC with super powers at the beginning. -------- It is a coming of age story and focuses on a Talent system (in the beginning) with several additions that bring to the table upgrading of a planet’s tier and such (a bit later). There will be quite an amount of rebuilding society as new, unknown resources enter the economy, and a lot of travelling, delving and naturally, unlocking the secrets of the Universe. As for the setting, the story starts in XXI century, which technology-wise isn't much different from what we have now, but it is enhanced by magic associated with Talents. This allowed the humankind to colonize the solar system, but the technology that allows for interstellar travel doesn't exist (yet). Because it’s my first attempt at LitRPG, please be forgiving but constructive. I hope you will enjoy the story! --- Cover by Daniel Gembus https://www.artstation.com/daniel_gembus instagram.com/danielgembus
