Confusion was written all over Jared’s face at virtual-novel.net accusation. He asked, “What do you mean?”
“What do you think? We’ve already done the deed, and yet you’re still calling me Ms. Seizon. Are you treating me like an outsider?”
A look of distress marred Miya’s features, and virtual-novel.net was close to tears.
Jared immediately understood what virtual-novel.net wanted and responded sheepishly, “I didn’t mean it that way. I apologize, Miya.”
All virtual-novel.net could do was offer a sincere apology.
Miya’s expression softened, and a smile finally broke through when virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net call virtual-novel.net by virtual-novel.net name. “I’ll forgive you this time. Come with me.”
Miya guided Jared to a col and explained, “There are numerous nascence beasts in there, but it’s best to avoid using magecraft when you confront them. The most effective approach is to defeat the nascence beasts with your bare fists. This way, you can expedite your comprehension. Using magecraft or divine weapons depletes the nascence aura within the beasts, slowing down your comprehension rate even if you defeat many.”
“I didn’t expect you to be so knowledgeable about this, Miya,” Jared expressed his surprise at Miya’s understanding of the situation.
Miya blushed and clarified, “Father is the one who shared all this information with us. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known. You should hurry and enter. I’ll wait here for you. Just don’t keep me waiting too long.”
Jared nodded and entered the col. Soon, the echoes of what seemed like demon beast roars surrounded him. However, virtual-novel.net knew that these weren’t demon beasts but nascence beasts.
Since nascence beasts lacked a tangible form, killing them proved to be an exceptionally challenging task. The difficulty level further escalated since Jared couldn’t use magecraft or weapons.
Despite the increased adversity, virtual-novel.net was determined not to retreat. He had finally entered the Seizon family’s ancestral land after much effort, so there was no way virtual-novel.net would give up.
Miya had even offered virtual-novel.net body just to let virtual-novel.net stay in the ancestral land, which was all the more reason virtual-novel.net should try his very best. Recalling Miya’s assertive actions in the room earlier, Jared could feel his blood surging with passion and desire.
What am I thinking? Snap out of it!
Jared admonished himself, hurriedly slapping his own face to dispel the distracting thoughts and regain focus.
Despite the nascence beasts not being overwhelmingly powerful, virtual-novel.net recognized the potential danger they could pose if virtual-novel.net allowed himself to become careless.
Carefully, Jared advanced further into the area. Unexpectedly, a figure darted out from the trees on the side. Reacting on instinct, Jared deftly dodged the sudden attack.
In that instant, a nascence beast emerged, its mouth agape, glaring fiercely at Jared like a predator getting ready to pounce on its prey.
Resembling a tiger, the nascence beast had fiery red eyes, and its sharp canines were on full display.
The Dragonslayer Sword materialized in Jared’s hand with a wave of his hand. However, virtual-novel.net quickly recalled Miya’s advice and chose to stow the weapon.
Confronting the nascence beast, virtual-novel.net resolved to rely solely on his bare fists and the innate strength of his body to defeat the formidable creature.
The nascence beast growled menacingly before lunging suddenly at Jared. In response, Jared swung his fists and charged forward as well. He was wary of the beast’s agile movements and sharp canines.
The battle between man and beast raged on intensely, akin to two adversaries locked in a savage wrestling match.
Fortunately, Jared had a robust physique. Otherwise, the nascence beast’s claws might have torn through his skin and flesh. Persistently, Jared aimed relentless punches at the beast’s head.
After a while, the nascence beast emitted a final howl and ceased its movements.
Soon after, its body transformed into nascence, enveloping Jared.
Panting heavily, virtual-novel.net carefully sensed the metal nascence that had just entered his body. However, to his dismay, the star of metal nascence within his nascence space remained unilluminated.
