||
|
||
Max smiled to himself as he mentally reviewed his new gains.
|
||
|
||
One powerful technique: Sun Battle Body (Rare Rank).
|
||
|
||
Three new skills: Space Freeze (Rare Rank), Lightning Needle (Uncommon), Flaming Kick (Common).
|
||
|
||
’In short, I got four new skills and three new techniques.’
|
||
|
||
Max mused smiling thinking he would be busy after he left the temple.
|
||
|
||
That didn’t mean he left behind anything.
|
||
|
||
No.
|
||
|
||
He had taken everything.
|
||
|
||
Not a single valuable item was left behind.
|
||
|
||
Everything was stored safely within him.
|
||
|
||
As he walked out, a thought crossed his mind.
|
||
|
||
’Now I can level up without worrying about how to get so many cores.’
|
||
|
||
With this mountain of resources, his progression was no longer limited.
|
||
|
||
As Max and the blob walked out of the treasury, a sudden thought crossed his mind.
|
||
|
||
"Tell me…" Max’s voice was calm but filled with curiosity.
|
||
|
||
"Since I’m the owner of the temple now…"
|
||
|
||
He turned to the blob, his sharp eyes narrowing slightly.
|
||
|
||
"That means I can enter again whenever I want, even after leaving—right?"
|
||
|
||
The blob nodded without hesitation.
|
||
|
||
"Yes, you can."
|
||
|
||
Max’s lips curled into a satisfied smile.
|
||
|
||
"Great."
|
||
|
||
He exhaled in relief.
|
||
|
||
"That way, I can check on the miniature sun whenever I need to."
|
||
|
||
He understood that the miniature sun was no ordinary artifact.
|
||
|
||
And while he didn’t know what it truly was,
|
||
|
||
He knew one thing—
|
||
|
||
It was valuable.
|
||
|
||
With the ability to return to the temple at will,
|
||
|
||
He didn’t have to rush into anything.
|
||
|
||
Instead, he could take his time—
|
||
|
||
Study it.
|
||
|
||
Prepare for it.
|
||
|
||
And when the time was right…
|
||
|
||
He would claim it for himself.
|
||
|
||
Max’s smile deepened as he glanced around the temple that was now his.
|
||
|
||
"This place is more useful than I thought."
|
||
|
||
As Max prepared to leave, the blob’s voice called out to him—
|
||
|
||
"Are you leaving now?"
|
||
|
||
There was something different in its tone.
|
||
|
||
A mix of reluctance and uncertainty.
|
||
|
||
Max paused, then turned to the blob with a smile.
|
||
|
||
"Yup."𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
|
||
|
||
The blob remained silent.
|
||
|
||
It wanted to say something.
|
||
|
||
To ask for something.
|
||
|
||
But it seemed…
|
||
|
||
It didn’t know how.
|
||
|
||
Seeing this, Max chuckled and spoke first—
|
||
|
||
"Well, you can come with me if you want."
|
||
|
||
The blob’s form trembled slightly.
|
||
|
||
It hadn’t expected those words.
|
||
|
||
Then—
|
||
|
||
Max grinned and added—
|
||
|
||
"Just know that I can’t feed you."
|
||
|
||
His eyes flickered with amusement.
|
||
|
||
"You have to earn your share all by yourself."
|
||
|
||
At first—
|
||
|
||
The blob nearly teared up from joy.
|
||
|
||
It had been alone in this temple for ten thousand years.
|
||
|
||
The thought of finally leaving—
|
||
|
||
Of seeing the outside world again—
|
||
|
||
Filled it with overwhelming emotions.
|
||
|
||
But then—
|
||
|
||
The second part of Max’s words hit him like a boulder.
|
||
|
||
"Humph!"
|
||
|
||
The blob snorted, puffing up its form.
|
||
|
||
It tried to act tough, crossing its liquid arms.
|
||
|
||
"Who do you think I am?"
|
||
|
||
It huffed.
|
||
|
||
"Of course I will earn my own food!"
|
||
|
||
Max smiled brightly, seeing the blob’s reaction.
|
||
|
||
"Then let’s go and leave the temple."
|
||
|
||
But the blob didn’t move immediately.
|
||
|
||
Instead, it lingered, its liquid form shifting slightly.
|
||
|
||
Then, in a more uncertain tone, it asked—
|
||
|
||
"Are you sure you want to take me with you?"
|
||
|
||
Max shrugged, his expression casual.
|
||
|
||
"I see no point in you staying here."
|
||
|
||
He stretched his arms before adding with a grin—
|
||
|
||
"And since I became the owner of the temple…"
|
||
|
||
A mischievous glint flashed in his eyes.
|
||
|
||
"You’re more or less my servant now."
|
||
|
||
His grin widened.
|
||
|
||
"So, you should listen to me."
|
||
|
||
Silence.
|
||
|
||
Then—
|
||
|
||
"Who are you to command me?!"
|
||
|
||
The blob went berserk, its entire form trembling in midair like a raging storm.
|
||
|
||
It flared up, shifting erratically, practically vibrating with fury.
|
||
|
||
Max grinned, his eyes glinting with mischief.
|
||
|
||
"Hehe."
|
||
|
||
His expression turned thoughtful as he looked at the blob.
|
||
|
||
"Though I’ll have to keep you hidden for some time after we leave the temple."
|
||
|
||
The blob nodded, its form shifting slightly.
|
||
|
||
"I understand your concerns."
|
||
|
||
It wasn’t naïve—
|
||
|
||
The outside world knew it as the spirit that controlled the temple.
|
||
|
||
If word got out that Max had the same spirit companion, it would attract unwanted attention.
|
||
|
||
However—
|
||
|
||
The blob tilted its head in confusion.
|
||
|
||
"But how would you do that?"
|
||
|
||
It floated slightly higher, staring curiously at Max.
|
||
|
||
"If we leave the temple, I’d definitely be seen with you."
|
||
|
||
Max’s grin widened.
|
||
|
||
"There’s something you’ll definitely like."
|
||
|
||
His voice was full of amusement.
|
||
|
||
He lifted his hand and reached out—
|
||
|
||
Touching the blob.
|
||
|
||
And then—
|
||
|
||
The blob disappeared.
|
||
|
||
Gone from the temple.
|
||
|
||
—
|
||
|
||
"Huh? How did I come here?"
|
||
|
||
The blob blinked, confused.
|
||
|
||
One moment, it was inside the temple—
|
||
|
||
The next, it found itself in a completely foreign land.
|
||
|
||
It floated around, its liquid form trembling with shock.
|
||
|
||
"What is this place?"
|
||
|
||
Then—
|
||
|
||
It finally took in the surroundings.
|
||
|
||
And what it saw left it speechless.
|
||
|
||
Lush green grasses stretched endlessly.
|
||
|
||
Vast plains rolled like waves.
|
||
|
||
Towering trees reached for the sky, their leaves shimmering with an ethereal glow.
|
||
|
||
Crystal-clear rivers flowed, their waters humming with energy.
|
||
|
||
Floating mountains drifted in the sky, defying logic.
|
||
|
||
Everywhere it looked—
|
||
|
||
The world was alive.
|
||
|
||
But it wasn’t just the scenery that stunned it.
|
||
|
||
It was—
|
||
|
||
The Essence.
|
||
|
||
"It’s so… natural!"
|
||
|
||
The blob’s form trembled, its eyes widening in pure shock.
|
||
|
||
Having lived in the world of Acaris for thousands of years,
|
||
|
||
It had grown accustomed to that world’s essence pressure.
|
||
|
||
But this world—
|
||
|
||
It was different.
|
||
|
||
It wasn’t oppressive.
|
||
|
||
It wasn’t chaotic.
|
||
|
||
It was pure.
|
||
|
||
It was nourishing.
|
||
|
||
The blob took a deep breath—
|
||
|
||
And felt something incredible.
|
||
|
||
Even without eating,
|
||
|
||
Even without absorbing treasures,
|
||
|
||
It could feel itself evolving.
|
||
|
||
Slowly but surely.
|
||
|
||
"This place is a heaven for spirits!"
|
||
|
||
It shouted in excitement. Read the latest on freewebnovel
|
||
|
||
It floated higher, its form expanding with joy.
|
||
|
||
"Even if a spirit doesn’t eat anything…"
|
||
|
||
It exhaled, feeling the energy sinking into its very being.
|
||
|
||
"They can still evolve in this place!"
|
||
|
||
For the first time in its existence—
|
||
|
||
The blob had found a place where its race could truly thrive.
|
||
|
||
And it couldn’t help but wonder—
|
||
|
||
’Where the hell did Max send me?’
|
||
|
||
Just as the blob was marveling at the world and at Max,
|
||
|
||
A familiar voice echoed.
|
||
|
||
"Do you like this place?"
|
||
|
||
The blob spun around, its form trembling with excitement.
|
||
|
||
"Max!"
|
||
|
||
It rushed toward him, unable to contain its curiosity.
|
||
|
||
"What is this place?!"
|
||
|
||
Its eyes were wide, its liquid body shifting erratically from excitement.
|
||
|
||
"Even for me, who has lived countless millennia," the blob continued,
|
||
|
||
"I have never seen anything like this place."
|
||
|
||
It paused, looking around in awe.
|
||
|
||
"It’s like… this entire world was made for spirits like us."
|
||
|
||
The energy in the air, the natural essence, the purity of the atmosphere—
|
||
|
||
It was perfect.
|
||
|
||
It was miraculous.
|
||
|
||
Max smiled, his gaze sweeping over the breathtaking landscape.
|
||
|
||
"Well, it is one of a kind."
|
||
|
||
Then, he turned back to the blob with a casual tone—
|
||
|
||
"You can stay here for now."
|
||
|
||
His expression remained calm as he added—
|
||
|
||
"When I’m alone, I’ll take you out."
|
||
|
||
"Wait—WAIT!"
|
||
|
||
The blob flailed, stopping Max before he could vanish.
|
||
|
||
"Tell me first—WHAT is this place?!"
|
||
|
||
Its face was flushed with pure fascination.
|
||
|
||
It needed to know.
|
||
|
||
Max grinned.
|
||
|
||
"Maybe next time."
|
||
|
||
His eyes gleamed mischievously.
|
||
|
||
"If I’m in the mood to explain, that is."
|
||
|
||
And before the blob could protest—
|
||
|
||
Max vanished.
|
||
|
||
Silence.
|
||
|
||
The blob remained frozen in the air, still processing everything.
|
||
|
||
Then—
|
||
|
||
It recalled something.
|
||
|
||
Something from a very, very long time ago.
|
||
|
||
Its entire form trembled.
|
||
|
||
"This place… this world…"
|
||
|
||
A wild speculation formed in its mind.
|
||
|
||
And the more it thought about it,
|
||
|
||
The more shocked it became.
|
||
|
||
"Could it be…?"
|
||
|
||
Its eyes widened.
|
||
|
||
Then—
|
||
|
||
It shook its head violently.
|
||
|
||
"No. No, I must be thinking too much."
|
||
|
||
It muttered to itself, trying to shake off the thought.
|
||
|
||
"That place… is just a myth."
|
||
|
||
But What If…?
|
||
|
||
It tried to convince itself.
|
||
|
||
"And there’s no way it could be owned by a kid."
|
||
|
||
It let out a nervous laugh.
|
||
|
||
"Yeah… I must be thinking too much."
|
||
|
||
But deep inside—
|
||
|
||
A seed of doubt had already been planted.
|
||
|
||
And no matter how much it tried to deny it—
|
||
|
||
The truth was far more shocking than it could ever imagine. |
