“Human? Can she identify me? Is it because she’d 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 ma’am?” Miles answered politely, cutting short his dismal monolog. The monster’s eyes were looking at him but unlike the other time, this time he could breathe. It wasn’t 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 wasn’t 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 don’t 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.” Monster’s 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, ma’am. I am not even from this world. I don’t 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.
“You don’t have to worry about that. Since I said it will work, it will work.” Monster said with a snort. Miles realized he offended the monster by implying she could not see through her. After all, she was a strong monster from B-Circle. How could she not see through his body?
“I understand. Please forgive my offense, and I am grateful for your blessings.” Miles answered as he apologized. He couldn’t deny the monster anyway, and having the technique wouldn’t hurt. So, why should Miles refuse it tenaciously?

“It is good that you are aware you are wrong.” The monster said as the information appeared in Miles's brain. There were premoves, postures, energy lines, and text in his mind. He knew the text was in a foreign language, but thanks to the monster’s interpretation, he could understand what the text meant.
“It is brilliant!” Miles looked at the text and couldn’t help but get impressed. He couldn’t understand all of it, since he wasn’t familiar with the terms yet, but the little part he could understand was enough to prove the technique was much stronger than Moon Essence he had learned not long ago.
“Exaltedness of the Creator!”
Such an impactful name. It is no surprise, the effects are so drastic.
Miles looked at the first level of the technique and realized it would increase his power dramatically. And it was a lot better for him because the conditions of the technique didn’t involve superpower or elements but only a strong body. Who in Unity had a stronger body than him at Grace-Rank?
It also required it to be practiced before energy was practiced, so it would grow with the energy. Otherwise, there would be complications. Since no human could use strengthening serum before using energy, no one in Unity could make use of this technique but him.
“This is great stuff.” Miles was on cloud nine. Not only did he find this cave, but he also learned a great technique.
“Don’t 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. Miles’s 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 couldn’t be seen.
“Thank you, ma’am,” Miles answered as he sighed in relief. After all, there were Evil-Rank monsters in the cave, if he didn’t 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 couldn’t figure it out anyway, so he turned to leave.
