I spent the next 3 days walking through the forest, killing and eating everything I ca across. During this ti, I tried to communicate with the little girl, but she never says anything unless she uses magic.
At least she seems to be smart and understands perfectly what I’m saying, so I don’t think her not speaking is a big problem.
I decided to keep the little girl hidden inside my shadow because I decided not to use the shadows to fight during my ti in the forest. I need to live without help, and the little girl is a very good help because of her strength, and that takes away so of the aning of the training.
My route is a straight line to the strongest creature I can feel in the area around . There are several very strong creatures, but I’m going to the closest one. I’m looking for the strongest monster I can find so I can devour it.
"I think I can get there in a few more minutes." The place where I am is a jungle, but the trees are blood-red, while the ground is black as obsidian.
The mana here seems to be even more unstable than the mana of the place where I started, not that it’s relevant enough to be a problem for the current .
I soon arrive at a lake. The lake is so clear that you can see the bottom, which is made of sand. Amidst the gloomy scenery, this place seems like a very beautiful oasis, which is obviously a trap.
"Could you co out? You’re not that well hidden," I say to whatever is hiding in the water.
"My, my, you’re quite smart, I see," an androgynous voice speaks as a plant-woman erges from the water.
’From what I’ve read in books, she must be an Alraune.’ From the water, I notice the figure of such a being. The upper part resembles a woman, her skin a very light green, while a large red flower adorns her head.
However, from the abdon down, it resembles a large carnivorous plant. The jaw full of teeth seems to have a powerful biting capacity, while the Alraune appears to have a good amount of magic and considerable intelligence, as she can communicate.
It seems that it’s common for monsters to be able to talk in this forest.
’She’s not the one... there’s sothing else.’ What I’m hunting is not this plant woman. She doesn’t even co close to the aura I’ve been pursuing for the last 3 days the aura was so large that I could feel it even from a distance.
Among the various powerful auras, this is considerably peaceful, but it’s still quite large, and it was the closest to .
The aura of this plant woman is weak in comparison, and as a trap-type monster, even though this plant woman is strong, she’s still not a big deal compared to my current power.
"Hey, plant woman, what are you hiding in this oasis?" I ask without touching the water. I know that whatever I’m hunting is around here.
"...I don’t know what you’re talking about, miss..." She speaks in a serious tone.
"If you don’t tell what you’re hiding, I’ll tear you to pieces." I say as I let my aura spread through the environnt. The plant girl’s body shivers all over, and her coloration becos more opaque, showing the effects that my power now has on other beings.
"...I-I don’t know what you’re talking about, there’s nothing in this oasis besides ..."
"...Co to think of it, I’ve never eaten a plant girl. Are you considered at or vegetable?" I say to her with a smile as I start to enter the water. It’s not very deep, reaching up to my knee, so it’s clear that this plant girl was hiding in a hole in the middle of the oasis.
"D-Don’t co closer." Red vines erge from the water and grab , quickly beginning to drain my blood. The plant girl’s gaze becos briefly confident.
"H-Haha, you’re not that strong..." She says with obvious relief. I let her continue draining my blood.
"I’ll dry you out until you die, little girl." She says with an obvious smile.
"How fun." I say to her.
"Let’s see how much of my blood you can take." The plant girl makes an obvious pained expression as the blood drain decreases dramatically.
My blood is not sothing so simple. I am biologically the strongest predator that can be born, which ans there are no real weaknesses to be taken advantage of.
If you think about it logically, blood can also be a weak point, especially if it’s against a vampire. That’s why my blood tends to attack the other being’s cells if it’s taken without permission.
To be more precise, while my blood is in my body, it has a life of its own and acts like a virus that consus and attacks impurities. But when that blood goes into another body, it considers the other body an impurity and starts attacking.
To prevent this, there are a few options: the first is to kill the blood using mana, the second is to let the blood be taken, and the third is for to willingly give my blood.
However, for those who don’t know they have to kill my blood with mana and just drink it, they should feel a lot of pain, as they will be attacked from the inside.
Although this is not enough to kill soone, since my blood has a useful duration of a maximum of minutes, it is still painful, especially now that I have beco stronger.
’Damn it, only those I like can have my blood.’ I think while deciding to explode her.
"[Explosive Life]" I use the magic once, converting all the blood she drained into explosives.
"[Explosive Life]" With the second spell, the explosive is activated, exploding a large part of her body. Although she is still alive and screaming in pain, it seems she doesn’t send the blood directly to the stomach, but stores it in another part, which is why she was able to survive.
Her confidence has turned to fear again.
I grab one of the pieces of her that fell into the water and taste it.
"Hmm... I’m not a big fan of vegetables." I say after tasting the flavor. It’s not bad, but I still prefer at and blood, not this ambulatory vegetable.
I continue walking towards her.
"Are you still going to try to hide that there’s sothing else here?" I ask when I reach her.
"P-Please, d-don’t kill . I-I’ll give it to you." She says desperately, crying. It seems being exploded from the inside out is quite painful. She moves the rest of her body to reveal a passage.
"...hmm... now it makes sense why this has so much aura that I could feel it from so far away," I say as the plant girl delivers a mini version of Delphina, which looks like a 30-centiter doll.
From what I can tell, it’s in a state of coma or complete inactivity, and it also seems to be made purely of water elent mana, so it might be correct to call it an artificial spirit or mana clone.
’A clone... I wonder what it’s used for?’
"Hey, plant girl, how did you get this?" I say, looking at her angrily. Delphina is mine, how dare this re highly developed plant have sothing like this.
All I was able to take ho from Delphina was sen, which, by the way, is still in my uterus. I think the sen storage is similar to my stomach, which can store food infinitely.
Of course, I can’t hold infinite sen, but I can store it as long as I have ti for it. Just like I can’t eat without stopping, but I can store food infinitely in my stomach.
Although keeping the sen stored does consu a little mana, and I’m keeping it inside because I wanted to have at least a little of Delphina with . Though it also serves to impregnate if I want, although I won’t do that since I don’t have ti to have children yet.
Of course, if Delphina decides to have more ti with , I’ll replenish a new stock.
"I-I f-found it..." I cut off one of her arms. There’s no way this plant woman can be trusted.
"Listen and pay attention. If you don’t tell exactly how you got this, I’ll make you go through hell."
"I-I swear, I f-found it 100 years ago, i-it was already in this oasis, a-and I just built my ho on top of it to get a little of the magic released from it." She speaks desperately while holding what’s left of her arm.
"KYAAAA!" The plant woman screams as she is torn apart by shadow sharks. I watch as the sharks tear her body to pieces, quickly devouring what was left of that plant bitch.
"Damn whore, deserves to die for stealing Delphina’s magic," I say with disdain as I let the sharks devour what was left of her.
"What do I do with this mini Delphina..." I don’t know what it’s used for, but since it’s sothing made by a goddess, it must have a good use.
"I’ll leave it where it was... no... I think Delphina won’t mind if I eat it..." I say as I raise the mini Delphina to my mouth, it seems great to eat to have full recovery from any previous damage.
"..."
"..."
The mini Delphina opens her eyes and looks directly at .
"Ah... I wasn’t trying to eat you..." I say with little conviction, especially because my mouth was already ready to bite her.
"It’s okay, Pandora, you can eat this copy. It’s just a tracker I have, I haven’t used them in so long that I’d forgotten about it." The mini Delphina speaks with the sa voice as the original Delphina.
"Delphina, is that you?" I ask when I see her speak.
"No, I just retain commands that update themselves."
"So I can really eat you?" This little thing has so much mana and looks so delicious. The little thing nods, and I imdiately start eating. It has no taste.
Because it’s just an accumulation of water elent mana, but I wasn’t after the flavor, but the mana this little thing had.
Thanks to having eaten this little thing, I am 100% recovered from any problems that may have remained before. This is very necessary for the challenges I will face in the future.
’Wait... it ans there may be thousands of mini Delphinas out there... I should get one to keep as a plush toy in my room...’ I think as I decide to look for another powerful monster.
It seems that the closer you get to the center of the forest, the stronger the monsters beco, and I’m sure that at the center of the forest there will be a monster as strong as . This plant girl is already a good indication she was very weak compared to , but absurdly strong compared to many I’ve seen.
’Now that I don’t have to worry about mana thanks to the mini Delphina, I’m going to speed up.’ Before, I was walking at a slow pace to save mana, but finding the mini Delphina solved this problem.
I use mana to strengthen my body and accelerate to get to the center as quickly as possible.
