Chapter 60: Amon woke up

Minutes after Ariel and the girls left with Amon, two people arrived at the location.

When they saw that the plague was dead, they were amazed.

"Who arrived before us?" One of them muttered.

"I have no idea, but it will be easier to go back and ask those who kept watching rather than trying to guess." The other replied.

"Yes, let's take 'this' and return." As she spoke, the woman looked at the student's corpse that had a good part eaten by the plague.

Picking up the remains, the two left the mysterious realm.

.

.

At this point, Ariel and the girls arrived at a place that seemed safer as they gently placed Amon against a tree, waiting for him to wake up.

His breathing was fine, and his heartbeat was steady, so it was only a matter of time before he would wake up.

Amon opened his eyes at the smell of meat, then rubbing his eyes, he saw and heard the girls in front of a bonfire. Ariel and the girls were roasting what appeared to have been a rabbit.

Amon's thoughts were confused. He couldn't even pay attention to what they were doing as he remembered what had happened before.

Impulses start to build up inside him, which was he easily able to handle before, but now it has gotten out of control. Like the moment he saw the girls with little clothes on since it was a hot day inside the mysterious realm, they wore revealing clothes while they were a little sweaty from the fire.

Amon felt his throat go dry as he desperately swallowed his saliva. The fact that he acts like that wasn't even because of the smell of rabbit meat, even though he's a little hungry. Instead, it was because he was attracted to the seductive figures of Barbara, Ariel, Maisa, and Julia.

Shaking his head, Amon brushed aside the impure thoughts he was having.

Soon, he managed to control his biological instincts, even calming the 'sleeping one'.

"Amon, you woke up~" Barbara's soft voice was directed at him as she looked in his direction.

"Mm." Amon nodded, acting nonchalantly, but it was different from before, as behind his indifference, you could see a warm look in his honey-colored eyes.

Julia and Maisa turn around at the same time, their eyes filled with tears. Quickly, the twins wiped their eyes, rubbing them with a hand, and smiled.

"Glad you woke up. I was really worried, you know~" Julia stuck out her tongue, but her husky voice gave her feelings away.

"I was so worried!" Maisa couldn't stand it, she knew she was acting childishly, but she ran towards Amon, fell into his arms, and hugged him tightly. She didn't know that a day would come when she felt so many emotions because of a man.

Before meeting Amon, she even thought she would be a spinster at age 50. But, Amon arrived to show that these thoughts of hers were totally wrong, devastating her world.

Maisa couldn't take it and hugged him, then, after pulling away a little, she asked, "How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine, thank you." Amon smiled a little.

Amon's smile was like the dawn sun, making them feel warm.

Amon then asked, "How long was I unconscious?" Then, looking at the big picture, "Are we still in the mysterious realm?"

Ariel responded as she approached, "You weren't out for long, and yes, we're still in the mysterious realm."

"I see." Amon's eyes were no longer as indifferent as usual; there were complex emotions. It was harder for him to control his emotions, and he felt he became stronger too.

Fury Gene: 64

Gene: 69

Lightning Gene: 60

"…" This surprised him. Amon felt better, but he didn't expect it to be that much.

Although he didn't understand why he had such a significant improvement, he decided to think about it later.

His eyes flicked to the rabbit meat being roasted.

Noticing Amon's gaze, Barbara smiled, "Oh yeah, let's eat, it's almost done. You must be hungry, yes?" She smiled at him.

"Mm." Amon nodded.

"Good." She laughed a little and walked over to the fire.

.

.

Outside the mysterious realm, a silence took over the place. What Amon showed was too shocking.

Even the pompous-behaving man at Golden Phoenix University showed a complex expression when he saw what Amon had done. Among the geniuses of the university, few could do this before completing the Genetic Factor.

He thought; 'He needs to follow me... Otherwise, his existence will be a nuisance.'

"Hahahaha! It was worth coming here." Suddenly, a laugh echoed.

They all looked in the direction of laughter, only to see a short elderly man with a height that was at most 130 cm tall, laughing a lot. The elderly man did not mind the look of these people since he was concentrating on looking at Amon along with the four girls.

His interest was piqued.

The man sitting on the throne muttered in his mind; 'Who is this crazy old man, and why does he look so familiar?' He frowned, trying to remember.

.

.

When the rabbit finished roasting, Barbara gave the first piece to Amon, which no one was against.

"Good." Amon gave the seal of approval that made the girls smile in satisfaction.

Soon they too start eating. There was still time until the end of the test in the mysterious realm, and they needed to eat if they wanted to have the strength to keep fighting.

"In fact, it's delicious." Ariel smiled mischievously.

Barbara thought it strange but didn't comment. She got used to Ariel after spending so much time with her.

Half an hour later, they finished eating, and after that, it only took another ten minutes to pack up and another ten minutes to rest.

Now they were ready to start hunting animals again. Despite knowing that it is very likely that they already have enough points to make it through this stage of the tournament, the fact that they have powerful animals to fight and improve their power makes it worth continuing. Besides, they found some rare herbs that are worth a lot of money.

Julia's posture was gentle as she walked toward Amon with her deep gaze.

Amon looked up at her.

Julia smiled and extended her long thin fingers, touching his face, she said with a small smile, "You have something on your mouth." She even touched Amon's lips.

Amon got the same deep look she had as he felt his lips being touched, while Julia was mesmerized by his gaze.

The two of them froze, looking deeply into each other.

Barbara came to intervene.

"Enough of that." She pushed them both away.

Julia showed a disappointed look.

She swore she saw the same disappointed look on Amon, and it was very shocking to her. Unknowingly, she enjoyed bliss as she smiled from ear to ear.

"…" Of course, this didn't go unnoticed, Barbara was surprised, as Amon was very expressionless, but now he showed so many expressions that she didn't know how to act on it. Although she felt her heart pound every time this happened.

"Something is happening," Amon said suddenly.

At this moment, Amon could feel that there were two pairs of powerful beings fighting.

The powers were extremely strong, in excess of 50 unlocked genes.

Even the girls were able to notice each confrontation as the ground shook like an earthquake. Although it was not very significant, it showed that the degree of power of these beings was at a level totally different from theirs.

"Amon." Seeing Amon go in the direction of the sounds of fighting, Maisa was afraid for him, "We're not going in that direction. It's better not get involved in this kind of fight."

"I know." Amon said, "I'm just curious. I don't intend to get involved."

"Oh..." Amon was curious; this was new. But, in a way, it made her curious that he was curious.

"Let's look from afar," Ariel said.

"Mm." Barbara and Julia nodded.

After approaching, they found themselves on a not very high cliff, and, at the bottom of the cliff, there were three beasts fighting.

Two golden wolves were going up against a beautiful blue horned lioness.

One of the golden wolves roared.

It was different from a howl. It was fiercer.

For a second, the lioness was stunned, as if something was interfering with her mind. However, that didn't last, but it was enough for the other golden wolf to hit her hard in the ribs and make her crash against a tree.

Roaring in pain, the lioness became furious and lunged towards the golden wolf that attacked her. Her sharp teeth caught the wolf's neck and began to shake, and, even when she felt the other wolf's bite on her lower back, she didn't loosen her grip, biting down hard on the golden wolf's neck as she shook.

Behind her, not far away, in a cave, a cub very much like her emerged. The cub yelled, worried about the lioness.

His eyes were pitiful, and the son's concern softened the hearts of the girls who saw this scene.

"Is she protecting the cub from these wolves?" Maisa muttered doubtfully.

"It seems to be the case." Barbara nodded without looking away from the fight.
