Chapter 434: Eve
‘ Wait what if-? ‘
Jayden was surprised when suddenly a thought came to his mind, he looked at the beast on his palm and pondered.
” What? Did you find out anything about it? ”
Anna asked, She also had some theories of her own but she wanted to listen to what Jayden had to say first.
‘ Maybe it originally didn’t have any abilities, and it had stolen those abilities from others? Before it had transformed into different beasts, and only then was it able to use their abilities. Is that possible? ‘ Jayden asked, he could steal others’ techniques but even he couldn’t steal others’ abilities, otherwise, he would have taken any and every ability that he liked from others.
” I can’t say that it’s not possible, in the case of divine beasts anything could be possible, they are extremely magical beasts and could easily defy common senses and world rules. So maybe it has that kind of ability, but it would be hard to find out whether it’s true or not, oh right you can try asking it, probably it will answer. ” Anna said, she also seemed to be deep in thoughts.
‘ Hmm okay, that’s all I can do right now. ‘ Jayden replied and spoke: ” Do you have the ability to steal other’s abilities? ”
The small beast stared at Jayden with its big white eyes for a few seconds then it began to move its head up and down, indicating a yes, Jayden was surprised and his joy increased after all having the capability to steal other’s abilities is much more better than just possessing a certain number of abilities.
And from what Jayden had seen previously it could steal very strong abilities too, but more questions rose into his mind as he began to ask them one by one, while the head of the small creature kept moving from up to down and sometimes left to right.
” So you can steal any type of ability? ” Jayden asked, and the little jelly like thing nodded cutely.
” Can you steal abilities from humans and demons too? ” He asked and received a shake of the head in response.
‘ Hmm so only from the beasts, huh. ‘ Jayden made a note in his mind and then asked. ” How do you steal abilities from others? ” This was the main question that was making him very curious.
” Kiuu ”
From its jelly like figure, two pointy small hands came from its side as it began to make strange gestures, it pointed towards Jayden, towards his chest and then towards its own mouth.
” You need to eat the whole corpse? ” Jayden asked in confusion.
” Kiuuu ”
The little beast shook its head and again pointed towards his chest.
” Heart? Do you need to eat a heart? ”
In response to his question the small beast finally nodded its head and then its hands went back to its body.
” Oh so you need to eat the heart of a beast to steal their abilities and then you can even take their forms, huh? “Jayden summarised everything.
The little thing nodded its head and then began to rub its face against Jayden’s palm, with what seemed like a smile on its face.
” We can discover more things later but for now you need a name, hmm… Wait first tell me are you a male? ”
Jayden mumbled after which the little creature shook its head immediately and then finally the audience that had been silently watching spoke.
” How about blackie since it’s black? It sounds cool right, I always wished to name my dog blackie. ” Xerome suggested.
” KIYUUUU ”
A low growl was again released that was directed straight towards Xerome.
” How about Eve? ” Eleanor spoke, while curiously looking at the beast.
” That sounds perfect, so from now on your name is Eve. ” Jayden said and rubbed Eve’s head, who gave a small sound in satisfaction.
” Okay we are leaving now, everything is finally finished. ” Jayden said gazing over everyone, they all nodded and just as Jayden was thinking where to put Eve, the jelly like beast understood his thoughts and turned into a black shadow and then slowly became a black tattoo on his arm.
” Whoa Eve truly is special,and she is so cute too. ”
Jayden smiled while caressing the tattoo that was present on the back of his palm. After taking several curious glances at Eve, they all stepped towards the black smoke boundary, after stepping in and getting closer to it Jayden spoke:
” Goddess Damuda can you open the protective layer for us? ”
No response came but a passage was soon created in front of them, from inside they could see a forest where many of the trees were broken, it had happened in their fight against the demons.
” Let’s go. ”
Jayden said and walked out of the Kingdom, everyone else silently followed behind him, and just after stepping outside, the smoke wall again began to close.
The outside was filled with a lot of trees, each tree was two or three times bigger than the normal ones, and all of those trees had various claw marks over them, but Jayden couldn’t sense many demon in a range of 5 kilometres from his location.
The sky was filled with thick dark clouds making the already dark forest even more darker, even though it was day time, the place was eerily quiet and was enough to scare anyone.
From moment to moment, the rustling sounds came coming from the distance, and strong gusts of winds hit the trees, making even the tallest trees swing wildly.
” Why are there so little demons here? ” He asked in confusion.
” Maybe since we have killed so many of them previously. ” Wang Jia said while also observing the place.
” It’s because of the heavy killing aura that is still looming over this place. ” Anna’s voice sounded and it finally made sense, after all, they had killed so many of demon beasts before.
Jayden nodded his head and then turned towards his family and spoke: ” Right now we have a total of around nine thousand demonic cores, that means they will be enough for nine of us and right now we are… ”
Then he began to count. Jayden, Sasha, Alice, Eleanor, Sophie, Xiao Rong, Wang Jia, Lao Rong, Layla, Emma, Lisa, Ivy, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Viser and Xerome.
” Seventeen, Emi haven’t reached the peak stage yet so she has to wait for now, so for now nine of you can absorb them, I’ll be facing many of these demons later so I’ll take the cores when I separate from you all. ”
Jayden said and gave them the cores. The women divided them among themselves and without waiting to absorb those cores now, they all began to walk forward.
They observed the atmosphere around them carefully and knew better than to run or fly in this strange environment without knowing anything.
” I don’t think there will be any demons within a range of a few kilometres, but maybe there could be some plant type demons. ”
Jayden said as they walked through the thick forest, the more they walked forward the heavier the mist in the air became.
