Without him knowing, Jomel is being influenced by his Soul-Beasts.
A treasure-seeking person if he is not in his hungry state.
Jomel looked and observe the tiyanak, it seems that is still scared of him. It was shaking a little and he can feel its nervous gaze.
Suddenly...
The goblin took him to a cave, he stopped at the entrance, thinking about the dangers inside and outside.
SWICCKK!!
He struck his sword to the mountain-like thing, making sure that it is not a monster too.
Safety first...
Thinking that there is no mountain monster and the cave is not a mouth like he watched in the past.
He proceeded to get in.
His senses work on an extreme level, his precognition ability is on the move, Calculating what might attack him from the dark.
He tracked the traces of the tiyanak that took him in.
STEP
STEP
STEP
When he got into a room like a cave, he saw a thousand of the tiyanak inside, their stares are so angry and terrified at the same time.
HAAAYY!!
Some of the tiyanak are too scared that they fainted on the spot and most of them are shaking, Jomel can see the desperation and scared expression that is painted on their face.
Jomel saw an old tiyanak in front surrounded by his clansman, they are in front of the elder facing him with their angry eyes.
Indicating that the elder is something important to this race of tiyanak.
The elder just keep looking at him, it was fat and it seemingly cannot stand up from its position.
The elder beckoned his hand...
Then it spoke to jomel "...KurraaKk KuRaaakk raaakk raakaakkaakaakk break rank break..."
As Tamer, Jomel can naturally understand Soul-Beasts language, it didn't know the reason why he terrorized them, as an apology they are willing to give him treasure as long as he stopped killing his clansman.
He will not tell them that they are delicious, but even if they are delicious, eating the same thing every day makes him tired of it.
Jomel naturally agreed, but speaking of Treasure, he seems like he forgot something.
Right!
He did!
It is his possession, the...
Alpha Stone!
He is going to do that later for now he will have to wait for them to give him a treasure.
Jomel also asked the elder where he can find food to eat just like them, a metal type of monster. It says that they will lead them to their valley.
Those beings are called Horsebladed monsters, jomel felt something familiar again. Another creature of legend from his past life due to the description the elder gave to him.
It was close.
But he will verify it, once he used the Alpha Stone to his Volturaptor, he wonders what his volturaptors gonna evolve into.
It says that Alpha stones evolve Soul-Beast in their ancestral form.
Different from the game/movie/manga in the past that jomel used to love, Alpha and Omega stones evolve Soul-Beasts in their Ancestor form permanently.
Making them a little stronger and tougher.
"Kwaayaawaaakk Lawaaaraaayakk bukkaalaak..."
Interrupting his thoughts, the elder asked jomel to come where the treasure is in exchange he won't kill them again.
Of course, jomel accepted, but if he didn't have any choice, he will eat them his fingers are crossed anyway when he promised them their safety.
Making the cross symbol with their fingers when lying to protect themselves against God's wrath for breaking one of the commandments.
Another theory is that crossing their fingers when lying evolved from crossing their fingers for luck.
In this case, they would be silently asking for luck in getting away with the lie. This is also entirely plausible, but we can't be certain which theory is correct if either.
Funny thing he said he is an atheist but he keeps doing stuff like this.
Back to the present.
Jomel followed suit to a single Tiyanak leading him where the Treasures are, his senses are working in extreme alert mode, he is looking out for some hidden trap.
Suddenly...
They got near to a cave where the treasures are, he is so shocked that there's a lot of it!
There were a mountain of gold, incredibly beautiful rocks, and a lot more!
The cave is like a size of 7 buses and almost 3/4 of it is occupied by these Treasures!
By the size of it, he could be a tycoon. He would be so wealthy if he is in his past world.
But this is Soul-Beast world, although they make use of gold and money for people who are not tamers.
Usually to an average random Tamer, however, these golds are useless.
But he is not some random Tamer, he is a gluttonous beast!
When jomel smells it, he can even taste it!
His hands and feet are trembling due to the constant shaking because of his undefined joy excitement, he can finally taste something new eating tiyanak's barbecue.
His nose was forward like an animal!
The smell is so gooooood..!!!
SHHUULAaCCKK!!
Without a warning he jumps to the mountain of treasure and swims through it, ignoring the tiyanak who was trembling nonstop to his presence.
Jomel is now holding a gold bar on his right.
Due to hunger, he couldn't wait anymore!
Using his mouth, without even transforming to his combat form.
MUNCH
He began to taste it!
Jomels eyes lit up.
The taste is like...
It is like...
Homemade cheese sticks!
Yes!
A Homemade cheese stick!
The gold that tastes like Homemade Cheese Sticks he is holding now is so crispy like a homemade cheese stick finger foods he craved the most (along with Oven Baked Potato Skins)!
The first gold bite begins with a deliciously crispy hard outer coating of the gold followed closely by a surprisingly soft, gooey, and cheesy middle.
Only some homemade marinara sauce lacking or it would have been perfect, but for now, it is enough for him.
Jomel suddenly remembered something!
He stands up and made a posture...
Then his eyes are closed while holding his two swords, indicating that he is going to cut something!
THUMP!
Stomping his feet to the ground!
WISHIWISHIWISHICK!
