Chapter 608: Extraordinary Reward(1)

“Stand still,” Aakesh expressionlessly told the tribe leader.

The tribe leader stopped struggling from the assault of the golden grass and looked expectantly toward Aakesh, hoping for him to have a way to solve the situation.

Aakesh had a cold face as he stretched his hands and soon thrust them toward the tribe leader’s heart.

The tribe leader got taken aback by Aakesh’s sudden actions, but before she could move away to dodge it, Aakesh’s hands had already reached her heart.

At that time, despite being a Level 250+ figure, the tribe leader’s life depended upon Aakesh, who was several Levels below her. Even though she wouldn’t die even if Aakesh crushed her heart, in the current situation, it wouldn’t be any worse than death.

Aakesh’s hands didn’t stay there for long as he pierced the tribe leader’s heart, resulting in her losing her consciousness for a moment.

When the tribe leader came around, she found himself lying on the ground, while Aakesh stood on the same spot he was a moment earlier, but this time there was a struggling golden grass in his hands.

For some reason, Aakesh’s left hand didn’t have any blood on it, despite it snatching out the golden grass from the tribe leader’s heart.

“Let me go,” The golden grass yelled, but this time its voice was lower, and there was no arrogance in it like in the previous situation since it could sense who was the winning party here.

“How did you appear here?” Aakesh ignored the grass and asked.

The golden grass was a valuable material used in a Divine-grade pill, the Soul Evolution Pill. As its grade and name suggested, it helped the Divine-grade lifeforms evolve their soul.

The golden grass was only one of the supplementary items in the pill’s making, but still, since it was a Divine-grade item, it could get sold for several high-quality Soul stones.

What made Aakesh ask the golden grass that question was because it took birth in an area where a large number of deaths occurred. The golden grass was a treasure with a cruel nature.

All the innocence it had while talking to Brodan was nothing but a facade. It wanted to leave that area by using Brodan’s soul as its carrier. It was also the reason behind influencing Brodan so much so that he put his entire tribe at stake just so he could grow powerful, which would have been impossible for someone like Brodan earlier.

“How do you know about me? A weak adventurer like you shouldn’t have this level of knowledge in Panagea,” The golden grass understood Aakesh’s intent behind asking the question, so it couldn’t help but look at Aakesh in surprise.

It then remembered that the adventurer had recognized that Brodan had seen its birth when the adventurer had met Brodan controlling the tribe leader’s body. Its surprise turned into shock as even many inhabitants of Panagea didn’t know about it. Even the tribe leader was unaware of it, but the adventurer who came from outside and was only a Level 230 knew about it.

If the golden grass knew that they were nothing but the system’s creation mirroring the world where Aakesh lived, it wouldn’t have asked the question.

Seeing that the golden grass was speaking something else and Aakesh wanted to hear something else, Aakesh slightly pinched the bottom of the golden grass, resulting in it releasing a scream.

“How did you appear here when there is no place in the radius of millions of miles to satisfy your birth?” Aakesh asked the same question, but this time his voice contained a chill, threatening the grass that if it didn’t answer what Aakesh wanted to hear, the situation might turn tragic for it.

“I don’t kn-”

“ARGHHH!”

The grass answered that it didn’t know, but its words came to a sudden halt as Aakesh pinched it again. Not only did Aakesh use his physical strength this time, but he also utilized elemental energy, resulting in the pain multiplying several million folds for the grass.

“Ple…please st…stop,” After using all its willpower, the grass pleaded with Aakesh to stop.

Aakesh ignored its plea, and instead of stopping, he slightly increased both his physical strength and elemental energy.

Time flew by.

As the pain increased severalfold with each passing moment, the golden grass finally came around and told Aakesh what he wanted to know.

As Aakesh had expected, there was no area within a radius of millions of miles that could satisfy the requirement for the birth of the golden grass. If there was, Aakesh would have sensed it long ago since the death energy released from those areas was so strong that it always materialized in the form of undead creatures.

The reason for the golden grass being born here was that it was one of the several thousand buds that got placed here by someone when they had sufficient energy to take shape. The reason that someone did this was to ruin the area. As for the cause behind attempting to destroy the land, the golden grass had no idea.

A grave expression got hold of the tribe leader’s face as she also heard the reason behind the golden grass appearing here.

Aakesh, on the other hand, relaxed his expression. The birth of the golden grass was coincidental as the energy released by Brodan when he was near death helped the particular grass shoot out before the destined timeline. Now Aakesh could not only stop the area from destruction but also get hold of several thousand of the buds of these grasses.

Aakesh didn’t need it to increase his soul strength, but he could see the golden grass for a large sum of money, which would help him buy rare materials in Panagea when he upgraded his sword.

Time flew by.

“I have completed your quest,” Aakesh expressionlessly told the tribe leader as he threw the golden grass into his space ring.

Brodan’s unconscious soul floated in the room as the tribe leader had a mixed expression on her face.

At first, Aakesh’s quest was to help the tribe overcome the disaster caused by Brodan watching the extraordinary scene of the birth of a Divine-grade material. But when Aakesh recognized the golden grass after seeing the birth of spherical cores, Aakesh got a new quest, and it was.
