I calm down and found my emotions stabilizing.

But I still feel concern for those scary feelings it got there, it seems that bitch did something else that she didn’t tell me.

“Alexia, although you said that you want to follow me, I will be clear right now one thing, I don’t need powerless people by my side, if you can’t be useful and, instead, become a burden…. I will kill you myself” I said coldly while looking at Alexia

“Of course I plan to be useful… I know I can’t be by your side with my current self, so I also want power” said Alexia with a resolute face

“Carolina!”

“What is it~”

With a somehow lazy voice, Carolina, who was in her ring form, emerged.

“Carolina, can you still do a blessing?”

“As you know, her highness Lottus deprived me for the majority of my powers, I even use some of my power in the battle just now,  so I only have enough power for one more blessing”

“I need you to bless Alexia with your green thunder attribute”

“Why should I? If I gave her my last bit of power, I will have to cultivate all over again and gather the thunder essence as pure as I have it now, is a pain in the ass” said Alexia with an angry voice

“I will make a deal with you”

“Ohhh~ I am listening”

“If you give her a blessing, I will feed you with my azure thunder essence”

“OHHHH! That’s tentative…. Sure I will do it~ hey little girl come here”

“Ok-okay”

The blessing ceremony was a success and Alexia receive her second element, thunder

“I will teach how to manage the thunder, although your thunder is polluter than mine, it's still powerful. You will train it until the third law and then you will have to share for your own enlightenment , I won't allow you to use books, understood?”

“Got it, but what about my water element? I still need to gather enlightment in the five law of water, ocean”

“I know that you learn your water laws within a book back in the academy, however, that kind of training it’s not good, you will have to, at least for this last law, to search for a natural way to get enlightenment only by that way you can get at the apex of power, do you understand?”

“understood” said Alexia with a charming smile on her face

“Good, I will teach you the first three laws of thunder but first we need to get somewhere safe……. By the way, do you know where are we right now?”

“I don’t know, I heard that when someone uses the third law of space: void, it will teleport the target to a random place but I think we are not too far away from Mount quidan”

I use Eco localization to try to infer where are we exactly.

I concentrate and add some of my essences to my hearing to amplify my search

“……. About 40 km to the south there is a river…. its sound familiar….. so if we assume that the river there is the one that separates the inner part and the outer part of the forest…then”

Alexia make a shocked expression and with a trembling voice she said

“W-we are at the inner part of the forest!”

“Thi-this is bad, we are in trouble Law, it says that in the forest there are a lot of beast that are at the teacher level and a few that are at the master level, with our current strength if we meet one of those, we would die!”

“Yeah…. This is bad, we need to get out of her-“

“Master~ please wait a minute!”

“? Lightning? What’s wrong?”

lightning switch off his metamorphosis and ask in his dog form

“Master~ little lightning can smell something delicious somewhere nearby”

“Something delicious? What do you mean?”

“I don’t really know but I got the feeling that if I eat that thing I could become more powerful~”

“………. Where do we need to go?”

“It is somewhere to the north, about the exact place… I don’t know but is around there”

“At the north…”

I unconsciously see where lighting is signaling at

“Wai- wait a second! That is the center part of the forest! There is where the master level beasts are! If we go, that is as good as throwing our lives!” shout Alexia

“It’s not necessarily true”

While I was thinking Carolina, who looks a lot weaker than usual, transform into her original form

“What do you mean Carolina?”

“Any kind of beast , naturally, feels friendship with us, the demigods or, at the very least, they don’t try to collide with us too much, that is because they, by instinct, try to avoid the backer that we have”

“The gods?”

“That’s right, usually the beast try to acquire our favor so they can receive a “gift” “

“gift? What is that?”

“It means that we share some of our power, it’s like a blessing to you humans but the difference is that we gave less than 30% of the power that we gave to you, that is because the beasts don’t pray to the gods”

“I see… so you mean that, as long as we have you here… The beast won't attack us randomly

“That’s correct…. Well, at least not the master level beast who had more intelligent that an ordinary beast, who only knows how to eat… and also, I am very curious of what this little fellow is saying, I can certainly feel that there is something around there with incredible thick thunder essence… and something more but I can’t just the grip out of what exactly is”

“I see…..”

“Wai-wait I feel that we still be better not to go because there is no guarantee that the master level beast won’t attack us… Carolina, although you mention that certainly, they won’t attack you, that doesn’t mean that they won’t attack us, I think is better if we come back when we are at least at the teacher level” said Alexia with a serious face

“….. this is difficult”

When I was pondering what to do I heard something come near us.

“hide!”

I grab Alexia from the waist and Carolina transforms to her ring form and lightning also became a stick and jump with me to a tree nearby.

Just when we hide ourselves, a tiger appears, walking with a majestic aura.

It stopped when we were just a moment ago, it stopped there and turn its head.

“How long do you plan to stay there?”

It was directly looking at my eyes; it didn’t open its mouth.

The tiger was talking directly to my mind.

“You may already feel it but I can kill you and you wouldn’t know how you die however I don’t plan to do it there is something I need to talk”

“…. Got it”

“Alexia, you stay here with lightning and don’t do anything, if it wants to kill us we can’t do anything about it so just stay here”

“Bu-but Law..”

I ignore the trembling Alexia and walk in front of the tiger, it has blue eyes and a white fur with black pattern stripes.

“I am the king of this forest, my names is Alterio”

“I am just a blind man, my name is Law”

“… I can feel that you have an extraordinary thunder energy in you, you must be a loved one by her highness Lottus”

“You could say is something like that”

“Anyway there is a reason I call you here, you know what is it?”

“…. You are the most powerful beast that I have seen in this forest, I don’t know what we could do for you but I would let you know something, I won’t become anyone's lackey, if you want us to do something then you must be ready to give something in exchange if you don’t then I don’t mind fighting to the death with you, that would actually be kind of interesting”

“…. Kukuku, I must say you are an interesting, there isn’t much of a difference between bravery and stupidity but…… looking at you, especially that smile…. It seems that you would really do what you say… kukuku, truly an interesting fellow”

“So, what do you want?”

“Stray to the point huh? I like it….. the thing I want from you is quite simple actually”
