Chapter 57: The Apostle Has Awoken!

"Child you have woken me up!"

"M-My apostle, please forgive this child for waking you up from your slumber. But my apostle my tribe needs your help! We are currently facing extinction, many of our kin have died.."

Ono bowed his head. He felt shivers looking at the huge eyes staring at him.

Meanwhile, the apostle started to move, the apostle started to bang on the huge cave.

"M-My apostle is something wrong?!"

The apostle didn't listen and kept on hitting the cave, the whole cave trembled due to the force. The apostle didn't stop and continued.

Bang

Bang

Bang

The cave started to tremble, and suddenly the huge cave started to crumble. As it crumbled, a ray of light started to enter the dark cave. The apostle glanced at Ono who was looking at the vast ocean sea, there were thousands of fish swimming around.

"Hold on to my fin.."

"Y-Yes!"

Ono held onto the dorsal fin, suddenly the apostle started to move with its tail. The apostle started to open its mouth and thousands of fish got sucked inside the apostle's mouth.

The apostle didn't stop, and suddenly a huge fish appeared. Ono knew the fish in front of the apostle and him, the fish that had terrorized their tribe from hunting and leaving the island a bit further.

While Ono was lost in his thoughts, the fish had been eaten by the apostle in one fell swoop.

"I'm hungry, you should also eat some of the meat that I can leave behind."

The apostle kept on ravaging eating the fish and huge monsters on the sea, Ono would also stretch his hand and grab some small fish that he could eat.

'It's been a long time since I ate any food..'

Ono alongside his apostle kept on eating and eating.

Suddenly Ono felt shivers all over his body, he glanced at the creature facing his apostle. Although the creature was smaller than the apostle, it had over eight arms extending to the apostle.

"Apostle!"

But the apostle simply bit the arms and head with ease.

"Eat more!"

"Ah...yes!"

....

"Maki where are you going?!"

"Papa I can't believe you would send him!"

Maki was walking and heading to the other side of the island. She was worried at the same time scared for her mate.

"Maki please darling! I couldn't send anyone else in the tribe, Ono was the best fit!"

"Papa...then what about me? What about our child? I know that the village is currently facing a difficult time, but how can you do that? It looks like you were sending him to suicide!"

"Maki darling! Just wait!"

Maki was in front of the cave. She stepped foot on the water and her feet began to intertwine to become a tail.

"Maki you can't do this! It's dangerous!"

"Papa what about my mate?! How could you send him there?"

Bang

Bang

Maki who heard the banging noise glanced at the water inside of the cave, suddenly the water started to create huge and strong waves.

The chief immediately pulled his daughter away from the cave. As soon as he pulled his daughter away, the cave started to crumble, the entrance broke and was covered with the cave's rocks.

"Maki, are you alright? Stand up"

The chief helped his daughter stand up, he glanced at the entrance of the cave and at his daughter who was shivering.

"Papa.....Ono..."

"It's alright sweetheart...."

"Ono..."

Meanwhile Ono was full, it had been a long time since he filled his stomach to the brim. The apostle was menacing and many of the predators immediately fled the area sensing the powerful predator.

"Apostle..."

"Child, I have my fill, let's go back to the island.."

"Yes..."

Ono held tightly on the dorsal fin as the apostle started to move, along the way, the apostle bit one huge fish and began to travel with the dead fish in his mouth.

"We're almost there apostle!"

"Good!"

As they began to reach the island, the apostle spitted the fish on the sand. Ono immediately swam to the shore, he waved his hand at the apostle who was quite far away.

Ono glanced at the huge dead fish.

The apostle started to swim closer to the shore, and Ono signaled his hands to stop any further.

"Apostle! Don't come! You're going to die!"

The apostle didn't listen, but strangely as the apostle got closer to the shore, its body started to shrank.

"Apostle?"

Suddenly there were four feet on the sand, and a small apostle presented itself with feet.

"Eh?"

"Take me to your tribe!"

"Y-Yes!"

The apostle started to walk alongside Ono. Ono was quite baffled seeing a shark with four feet.

'It looks kind of cute...'

As they were near the island, the chief and Maki were standing at the center of the village.

"Chief! Maki!"

Maki looking at Ono immediately ran to his side, Maki stopped seeing the small shark on Oni's hands.

"That is?.."

The chief ran with all his might, he gasped for breath and immediately bowed his head to the ground.

"Oh dear apostle, it is I your child Kamu! It has been 20 years since I last saw you!"

"Kamu, you have gotten old, but I have not forgotten of you. Where is Lua?"

"I...the others have died my apostle, I am the only one left of the first generation..."

...

Cedric yawned and stretched his shoulders, he glanced at Elias who was reading a book beside him.

"Watcha reading?"

"Hmm? Oh, I'm reading a fantasy book.."

"Oh, what's the title of the book?"

"Ummm"

Elias closed his book and scratched his cheek in embarrassment.

"Tell me come on? Is it smut? Is that why you are embarrassed?"

"What? No, I don't read that stuff, it's just that you might not like the book I'm reading."

"Come on, just tell me what is it?"

"It's...becoming a tycoon in the tower..."

"Eh? You mean that famous book?"

"Yes..."

"We have the same tastes then! I read fantasy books like that as well! Hahaha, oh right by the way what time is it?"

"It's already 6.."

"Really? Can you tell the old man I'm going to go home early today? I need to do something at home, please?"

"Well ok, you can.."

"Thank you!!"

Cedric left the store, glanced at the notification of the system, and began to sprint back home.

As he arrived home, Cedric immediately entered the systems room. Cedric glanced at the shark Beastmen eating the fish they're apostle had caught, meanwhile, the small apostle was swimming in a small pond.

"What's the hidden mission?"

[Hidden mission! Save the tribe from their extinction!]

[To keep the shark apostle alive, the system has been drawing energy from the shark tribe. But since the shark Beastman have dwindled in their numbers, without their energy the shark apostle couldn't maintain life on the island, not only that, since the shark apostle has begun to be weak, many of the predators started terrorizing the shark Beastman!]

Cedric then zoomed in on the 40-year-old chief, the chief already had gray hair and even had wrinkles on his face.

"No wonder this guy looks like he is in his 70s..."

Cedric then glanced at the other Beastman who were praying and even giving their thanks to Lux's statue. They even held and even bowed their heads to the apostle.

"Eh, that the apostle? It looks kind of cute!"

The apostle was swimming in a small pond and was occasionally being fed by some children.

"Feed me more child! And I will grant you power!"

"Yes!"

The child shouted and began feeding the apostle.

"Ohoo it has skills as well.."

"Feed me more child!!"

"Yes!!"

The young child felt burdened as it kept feeding the apostle.

"Ok I'm full now, You have done a good job. From now on, you will be dubbed as my feeder! Have pride child! You are now my feeder!"

The shark pointed its fin on the boy, the boy squealed in admiration.

"T-Thank you so much Apostle! I will do my best!"

"Good, good, now go to your mother and eat as well. I don't want my personal feeder to go hungry! So leave!"

"Yes!"

The child happily ran to his mother.

"Momma I became the personal feeder of the apostle!"

"Oh my really? That's amazing of you!"

"Hehe.."

Cedric watched the interaction thinking that something was off with the system.

"Is it acting due to the traits? Hm, it's kind of funny to watch the system act like that.."
