Chapter 25

Kryst froze up and blink his eyes realizing who he was talking to . " Are you the consciousness of my ability? "

' yes '

" How did you gain awareness? "

Yggdrasil listening at the elf's one sided talking thought to himself . ' as far as i know , an ability that has awareness will only happen if that ability is at the divine level , almost at the same level as gods . '

He looked at Kryst and thought again.  ' was it because he was my first creation? So he became special? '

It was also justifiable .

" Nice to meet you by the way . " Kryst greeted .

The consciousness seems to have felt joy from his greeting . Kryst could perfectly perceive its emotion . " Let's get along well . "

' yes!! ' the consciousness replied .

" But before that , let me name you . "

' please do so , master . '

Kryst nodded and started pondering over some good names .

" How about i call you Webby.  "

' i will gladly accept that name , master.  '

Kryst nodded and said . " That's it , you will be called webby from now on . "

' Webby greets master . '

Yggdrasil " although i couldn't hear what you guys were talking , but it seems that the consciousness of your ability will be called Webby from now on? "

Kryst looked above him and nodded to Yggdrasil . " Yes "

As they were talking peacefully inside the space , Kryst suddenly felt that he seemed to have forgotten something. 

The forgotten thing ...

" Aaah!!! That damn child! How come his cobweb is so strong!!! "

After the androgynous snake demon shouted that , a demonic eagle suddenly heard him and looked down at the struggling snake up above the sky . The eagle suddenly shouted.  " What happened to you , Sherwin? "

Sherwin glared over him and hissed . " Nothing!!! "

" Ya need help? "

" No! " Sherwin strongly refused , he's afraid that shitty eagle would skin him to be sold on the market .

Sherwin struggled for a while . He wriggled his body and scratched the tight web around his body but he couldn't even cut a small part of it . As time passed by , Sherwin gradually feel anxious and impatient .

" Arrgg!!! That brat! He's gonna pay for this! "

But although Sherwin said that , he doesn't have the confidence to actually face that so called brat.  It's not until he rubbed the web unto the rock that it finally snapped .

As for now , that so called brat is now currently watering his precious farm while at the same time controlling his ability .

A sound of a baby's laughter resounded . Kathryn crawled on the ground and gripped the teenager's pants . Kathryn tried to climb up to the teenager's shoulder but she ended up clinging unto his waist while trembling from fear of falling .

The child's beautiful pair of azure eyes trembled and looked fearfully and the terrifying ground below . Not long after , Kathryn burst out and started wailing with her milky voice .

" Ah! " Blood seeped out of Kryst's fingertips when he accidentally pulled the string backward because of the sudden cry of the baby .

Before he could even sip his own blood , Webby had already absorbed it .

" ... " Kryst

He doesn't have anytime to reprimand Webby as his attention was already drawn to the crying baby .

Kathryn tried her best to get her fellow elf's attention . Fortunately , she succeeded albeit with difficulty .

One string shot out of Kryst's forefinger and it attached unto the body of the baby bottle near Yggdrasil's roots . Kryst pulled the string and caught the flying bottle. 

He adjusted Kathryn's position for a while before shaking the bottle and inserted it into her mouth .

" You're hungry? "

"  Uh-un " Kathryn cutely shook her head but she still drink the milk .

Kryst bit his lips and restrained himself from pinching her cheeks like dough.  Kathryn is just so cute he could die .

" Full? "

Kathryn let go of the bottle and nodded.  She then yawned and hugged Kryst's neck before lying her head on his shoulder. 

Kryst smiled gently and pated her back to lull her to her sweet dreams .

Pitzy whinned , scratched its body with its paw  and yawned . Kryst went to Pitzy and layed a fabric beside him . He then carefully put Kathryn on the fabric and put a cotton pillow on each side of Kathryn's body . Before he leaves the space , he dropped a soft kiss on Kathryn's forehead and poked her cheeks mischievously.

" I'll be going , Ssil , please take good care of the space . "

" Please return safely , Kryst . "

Kryst smiled at the tree and nodded . " I will . "

As he said that , his figure disappeared like a bubble . The time he spent with Yggdrasil , Pitzy , Ollie and Kathryn , Kryst didn't notice how he gradually changed from a person with a mental disorder to a person who has a responsibility pf taking good care of his fellow elf .

As time passed by , he would welcome more elf in his tribe .

Kryst appeared not too far to the summit and adjusted his big bag . He looked at the beautiful orange sky for a while before muttering to himself.  " It's time to train . "

Kryst , clad in his leather clothing started his new lifestyle as a wild man in the wild forest .

---

Several days passed , one could see a half naked teenager running from the top of the mountain down to the valley then running back up then running back low . He repeated that process until his lungs couldn't endure anymore. 

Kryst panted in exhaustion then layed down on the ground to start doing sit ups . After that , he did push ups , planks , frog jumps , kicking excercises , sprint , mountain jog etc.

The elf had not once used his ability or mana , and was purely training his raw strength. 

" Webby , seal my meridians again.  "

" Roger that , master.  "

Webby is now in charge of sealing Kryst's meridians in order to avoid Kryst from subconsciously absorbing mana from the surroundings . Although it would let Kryst recover faster , he still chose to seal himself .

" Gah! "

Kryst touched his neck and knelt down . " Water! Kackkk "

Kryst felt like his throat is dry and at the same time burning . He urgently has to drink water to hydrate himself. 

" Master , why don't you rest for a while? "

Kryst calmed himself down and gulped . " Ok "

Kryst removed his clothes and wiped his sweat.  " I'll go take a bath . "

He sink his body into the icy water and closed his eyes , it is obvious on his face that he was greatly fatigued . Kryst looked down on his rough palm then sighed .

Kryst submerged his head under the water and held his breathe .

Bubble bubble

Five minutes later , the sound of water splashing rang out as the silver haired teenager elf stood up . As he stood up , his bare upper body was revealed . There could be seen packs of define abdominal muscles on his belly . His muscles were firm and a bit bulky but is still lean .

Kryst flexed his arms for a while then rotated it . He narrowed his eyes and poked his biceps . " Still soft . "

" You don't have to hurry , master . There's still a lot of time for you to grow. As far as i know , you're still a toddler? "

Kryst's face immediately turned ugly hearing Webby's words . He remembered his real age and couldn't help feeling a little bit angry , but he's helpless about it . It's not his fault that he grew up so fast .

Kryst's quickly finished washing himself and returned to train again.  This time , he started wearing bags of rocks behind him and started carrying it as he run towards the summit.

Days passed by quickly , after Kryst finished his daily training routine , he would roam around the mountain to hunt food.  As if frightened by a twung of a bow , several varieties of birds flew away while chirping restlessly.  Kryst climb unto a tree branch and stole three eggs from the bird's nest and went back to his temporary cave shelter .

The sound of a dog bark resounded as Pitzy excitedly jumped from time to time while wiggling its snowy tail. 

Kryst gave him a raw meat from his hunt and went to roast meat and sweet potatoes . After boiling a water , he immediately boiled the egg and started peeling the roasted sweet potatoes. 

" Hmmm " Kryst really felt so hungry , a month had already passed and Kryst's belly couldn't be stuffed so easily anymore. 

He has to eat a three meal worth of food every meal .

After the sweet potatoes disappeared into his stomach , Kryst was still hungry so he immediately peeled eggs and ate the boiled eggs , but he's still not yet satisfied .

" More!!! "

" Master , you can avoid getting hungry if you release the seal . "

Kryst shook his head . " Not until my body was strengthened enough to accomodate a big amount of mana . As an elf , i can easily absorb anytime , but that will only hider my growth if i got used to relying on mana . "

" In order to accomodate bigger amount of water , we have to prepared a bigger container. Yiu understand? "

Webby signaled that it understand . " Understood. "

" A tribe? " Kryst held his weapon and looked at the large tribe he is seeing after wandering outside of the wild land area .

" They are cannibals ... " Kryst scrunched his face in disgust .
