Chapter 138: Exaltedness of the Creator!
Human? Can she identify me? Is it because shed read my mind? Miles looked at the giant head and swore in his head. Do monsters know humans? Now thinking about it, humans had never reached B-Circle and B-Circle is just after the Endless Mountain.
I am pretty sure now that this mountain is Endless Mountain, and what I am looking at is B-Circle. Holy Cow! The hole is opening to the end of the mountain, which also means, I am looking at the B-Circle now, and any monster from there probably has never seen a human then.
Yes maam? Miles answered politely, cutting short his dismal monolog. The monsters eyes were looking at him but unlike the other time, this time he could breathe. It wasnt as scary as before. The monster confused him with a monster attacking her child so the look was so scary last time, probably.
You brought my child back. I thank you for that. The feminine voice was heard inside his head once again. It wasnt too loud and was nice to hear. Unlike Jelly, its mother could convene what it wanted clearly. It was like having a conversation.
It was nothing. You dont have to thank me. Miles answered modestly. He was glad he was alive against such a strong monster. This monster was the strongest any human had ever encountered. And he was just a pitiful Grace-Rank hunter.
Since you brought my naughty girl back, I will compensate you for your effort. I can see you are not like us and have a different body. So, I will impart you a technique instead. It will help you greatly. Monsters eyes were still locked to Miles. Just like Jelly, its mother also kept eye contact while talking.
As you said we are a lot different, maam. I am not even from this world. I dont think that technique would work for me. Miles answered with a sigh. How could a technique a monster was using help him? He was a human, not even a native of the Portal World.
This is great stuff. Miles was on cloud nine. Not only did he find this cave, but he also learned a great technique.
Dont get so happy yet. Since my girl is with me now, how will you leave the cave on your own? Monster asked with a smile. Miless mood plummeted right away as he thought about the problem. On the way, many monsters wanted to feast on Miles, but Jelly stopped them. Now that Jelly returned to its mother, how could Miles turn back?
I will give you my breath. No monster in this cave will ever attack you so long as you carry it, but it will dissipate when you leave the perimeter of the mountain. The giant monster breathed on Miles and an invisible aura covered his body. Miles could feel the existence of it as if he was in a membrane, but it couldnt be seen.
Thank you, maam, Miles answered as he sighed in relief. After all, there were Evil-Rank monsters in the cave, if he didnt have the monster's breath, he would die without seeing sunlight once again.
I will not forget this favor, human. One day, I will return it. Farewell. Monster lastly said, and a vague message appeared in his mind too.
See you later, big bro human. Then both silhouettes disappeared.
Miles looked at the hole and the land beyond that. What he could see were barrens and crimson sky. The sun was pinned in the sky, and it looked scorching. Miles wondered if it was really the B-Circle, but he couldnt figure it out anyway, so he turned to leave.
