Spirit Soul

"Are you a genius?" Jaden asked totally serious.

Kyle could only look at Jaden as if he was the most ignorant person on Shima as he began to frown deeply.

However, when the girls next to him began to laugh out loud, Kyle's lips began to twitch as well.

"Girls…what is the meaning of your laughter?" Kyle would never call himself intelligent, let alone a genius, he was just hard-working and determined. But he was not stupid either.

"Urgh…nothing…hahaha" Selene could only say before she continued to laugh. She was not even sure why she was laughing and the other girls were exactly the same.

They were just laughing while looking at Kyle, unable to understand what was going on.

"We..hahah…cannot control…hahaha…our…hahah…body," Yasmine suddenly said as tears of joy trickled down her cheeks. She continued to laugh as well and only then did Kyle's expression change drastically.

"Huh? Why would you guys be laughing at that specific moment and be unable to control yourself…?" Jaden suddenly asked. He was confused because he thought that the girls had been laughing at him, not at his commentary. Everyone knew that Kyle was not stupid, so their laughing didn't really make any sense to him.

Jaden was just as confused as Kyle, but contrary to Kyle, Jaden didn't do anything. He could only blankly stare at the girls, who kept laughing.

Even Aurora had begun to laugh, which was weird. But that was what gave Kyle the advantage to figure out what was going on.

He turned in the direction of a few blue bushes. Small reddish flowers that gleamed faintly in the bright sunlight entered his view and Kyle's eyes turned serious.

"To think that we have to be careful of plants as well…the forbidden forest starts to annoy me a bit…" Kyle mumbled as he ordered Arashi to take care of the troublesome plants

The Spirit Soul blasted in the bushes' direction. Raging wings circulated around him, creating a sphere around the blue bushes as Arashi a few dozen large crescent-shaped wind blades.

However, before Arashi attacked anyone, the Spirit Soul halted in his tracks as Kyle lifted his hand. A tingling sensation reached his mind. This was something Kyle with familiar with even though it had been quite a while since he felt it.

[Don't kill. Me devour…]

'The devouring tree seedling!' Kyle immediately knew that the devouring tree seedling spoke to him. It wanted to devour the bushes and the plants, which astonished him a bit.

Kyle just wanted to get rid of the blue bushes and the red flowers but if the devouring tree seedling wanted to devour them, he didn't have anything to complain about.

He removed the crystal necklace from him and held threw it toward Arashi. The devouring tree seedling was inside and it complain but Kyle ignored this as he used the winds around him to make sure that the necklace would enter the wind sphere Arashi controlled.

The moment the devouring tree seedling landed in the blue bushes, a unique situation appeared right in front of them.

While all of the women were still uncontrollably laughing, Kyle, Jaden and Arashi looked calmly at the situation that unfolded right in front of them.

At first, the crystal in which the devouring tree seedling was tightly secured burst apart. The devouring tree seedling expanded rapidly.

It grew both vines and roos that shot in both the air and the ground. The roots dug deep in the ground to devour the blue bushes roots while the vines coiled tightly around the bush itself, squeezing it tightly.

"Amazing…" Jaden mumbled as he saw a huge mouth forming out of vines and thorns. It devoured the bushes that were tightly squeezed together.

'Why does it feel like the devouring tree seedling is more like an ordinary monster than a sentient tree seedling?' Kyle wondered as he began to smile faintly.

The situation in front of him was definitely interesting and the only distraction were the laughing women. Kyle watched everything in front of him with a calm demeanor nonetheless. He smiled faintly and got rid of the sounds around him by sealing the space around him with winds.

His eyes glowed brightly as he kept on watching the situation in front of him.

The devouring tree seedling devoured the blue bush in the following minutes, leaving nothing but a few spores behind. The spores were tightly sealed in the wind sphere Arashi controlled. He prevented anything to reach the women, who had finally stopped laughing.

They were exhausted and slumped to the ground. Kyle just smiled at them provokingly but they didn't even have the energy to complain.

"Jaden, did you like the dragonscale map, and how I configured it?" Kyle suddenly asked when he turned his head to the young Lohar, who was still holding the dragonscale. He held it tightly enough to break some badly forged weapons with his bare hand. Fortunately, the dragosncale was not something that could be broken by a Pryr Krysal Stage Cultivator.

"Oh, yeah, it's fantastic. You really did a great job…that's also why I asked if you're a genius. It is literally perfectly configurated for our purpose!" Jaden exclaimed the moment he averted his focus from the devouring tree seedling that was drastically shrinking in size.

Kyle held his hand out and Jaden instinctively handed over the dragonscale. There was still a smile of admiration on Jaden's face but Kyle had already walked past the young Lohar to pick up the devouring tree seedling.

[That was yummyyyy!!]

Kyle smiled hearing the voice of the devouring tree seedling and by using his Nurture ability, he could also tell that the devouring tree seedling's paths of development had progressed a lot.

This was something Kyle enjoyed a lot because he was worried that the devouring tree seedling's spores had become useless. To nurture them, he would have to use quite a lot soul energy, which Selene, Arashi, Aurora, and Jaden required.

There was not actually much soul energy that he could spare. Everyone understood this, even the sentient devouring tree seedling, which was something Kyle didn't expect when he had 'spoken' to it about the situation.

However, right now, for the first time in forever, it had revealed its desire to devour something. This was something he was intrigued about, and it made him feel as if the entire situation revolving around their group was about to improve.

"As long as I can nourish you properly, even the illusory beasts can only bite into the grass. They will be unconscious before they realize it. By then we can rush through the forbidden forest in a breeze!" Kyle started to laugh as he blurted out his plan.

The women flinched hearing his laugh as they thought that it was now time for the men to feel the effect of the weird blueish bush.

However, Jaden was perfectly fine and it was only Kyle, who seemed to be laughing in a devilish manner.

"You scared the hell out of me," Beatrice just blurted before slumping back to the ground, not listening to Kyle anymore.

"If you want to devour more plants, or some trees, just tell me about it. If it's possible we will work hard to give you everything you desire!"

[Moarrrr!!!]
