The Moutain Tigers was indeed being supported by powerful people and Shad could only think about one person that had that much interest in the southern region of the Mulan kingdom and wanted him dead badly at the same time, the 3rd prince of the Nicholas empire. Otherwise, how could they get such a powerful magic formation set up in here?
Shad was in high alert and released his spiritual force to scan the surrounding area. After a minute or so, he finally found the two men that had escaped walking deep with the small village.
Shad quickly followed them without any delay. The lair of the mountain tigers was beyond his expectation. The houses were well built and the road was very clean despite being the lair of a group of bandits.
Currently, the whole village was empty without a soul, it seemed like the leader had gone all out without leaving any men behind to guard the fort. Furthermore, this lair was a true bandits' lair as there were no women and children in the village.
As Shad was moving forward something unexpected happened, something that had never happened before.
The purple lightning seed in his mana pool or infinite space was shaking uncontrollably for the first time as though it was excited about something.
One has to understand, ever since Shad was reborn into this strange world, he has never been able to make any sort of connection or communicate with the purple lightning seed within his infinite space.
Aside from giving many advantages, the purple lightning seed was very arrogant and way picky. Till now, Shad has never been able to absorb any energy from Agate crystal which was the magic core the magical beasts or absorbing energy from any kind of treasures. He was only able to absorb the energy of the heaven and earth, however, the speed of absorption was more than ten times faster than a regular mage which was why he was able to break through the peak of the 4th class mage as such a young age.
Aside from that, he had no affinity for any other magical elements and could not use any artifact or a magic weapon that did not contain lightning power. It was as though the purple lightning seed within his infinite space disdained and looked down upon all the other elements and he alone was supreme in this world.
However, for the first time after fifteen years, the purple lightning seed finally showed a sign of movement. Shad was shaking incomparably in happiness after seeing that. Finally, there's a chance to find a clue about that damn purple lightning seed within his infinite space.
Shad quickly turned around and walked to a southern part of the village. At this moment, he didn't care about the two men anymore and was focused on the thing that was attracting the purple lightning seed and caused it the make such a big ruckus within the infinite space.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
As he was walking further and further, the purple lightning seed within his infinite space once again sent off a strong and intense calling of desire as though he was getting close.
This kind of feeling was like a mother that had lost his son for a long time and finally found him after long years of searching. Although Shad was very happy, this feeling also caused him to momentarily sweat at the same time because he did not know what kind of thing that was able to cause the arrogant purple lightning seed to be that excited.
With each step that Shad took, as he neared the destination, the feeling was getting stronger and stronger.
Inside his infinite space, it was almost as if a there was a giant earthquake violently shaking. All the magic power within the infinite space turned into bolts of lightning without Shad transforming them. The purple lightning seed was glowing and flickering wildly.
Shad continued to walk forward, despite the big agitation of the purple lightning seed within the infinite space. Soon, Shad saw a small wooden house at the far end of the small bandits' village. From the look of it, this house must have belonged for the poorest bandit because there were many nice houses within the village and this one was the smallest and the ugliest.
~Crrrkkkkkk~
He slowly pushed the door open. As entered the house, the purple lightning seed became more agitated within his infinite space as if it was finally meeting a loved one that it has not seen in a long time.
The inside of the house was empty, beside a bed and a small wooden table, there wasn't anything else inside the house, not even a chair.
There was nothing of value inside the house. Shad looked around but couldn't find anything. He had a disappointing look on his face. He looked on top of the table as well underneath, there was nothing. He even lifted up that dirty sheet that smelled like piss on the bed, yet there was nothing.
'It seemed like the purple lightning seed was just playing with me .' He thought
He was so happy to finally be able to find a clue about the purple lightning seed within his infinite space, which will probably give him a hint or some knowledge about his real identity and why he was reincarnated, but his excitement has vanished like the fleeting cloud.
He looked at the small house for the last time before decided to look for the other two men. Even though he might not have found what he was looking for, but he was pretty sure that the mountain tigers had many treasures in their safe after years of robbing people. Not to mention, he will finally get to experience the strength of a 6th rank warrior as well as a 5th class mage by battling them.
As he was leaving, The purple lightning seed automatically sent a web of lightning out of his body that blocked the door. Shad was shocked because he always thought that he was the one in control, the one controlling the lightning energy within his infinite space. He had never thought that the purple lightning seed could control them too as if it has a self-awareness of its own.
Although his mind was baffled, Shad simply didn't have any time to sit around and ponder about how the purple lightning seed was able to control the lightning energy within the infinite space.
He turned back again and looked around the small house to see if he has missed something.
" Ohh Yeah, I forgot to look under the bed." As he said that he walked towards the bed and the purple lightning seed seemed to emit a buzzing sound of happiness.
When he came next to the bed and was about to lift it up, the purple lightning seed quieted down, but this was the quiet of extreme excitement.
" So, this is the spot," Shad whispered to himself as he threw the small bed on the other side of the room and revealed what was underneath.
