Chapter 404 Mystery



"W-who are you calling a monster?" Ayla responded while stuttering making her even more suspicious.

Krusk tilted his head in confusion before his eyes lit up in understanding…

"Aren\'t you hiding your true form as well? Don\'t worry… Vincent accepts anyone. I\'m also a Beast but he accepted me on his team. He even has Celestial Beings on his side. He also has the Book with its own mind… It\'s more creepy than you so you don\'t have to be scared."

Turhan seem to be speechless as he was only looking at Ayla while squinting his brows. The existence of the sentient book didn\'t even register in their minds as they were too focused on the first words he said.

Turhan heard Krusk loud and clear so he knows what the young Mythical Beast was implying. Furthermore, with his innocent look and genuine smile, it\'s hard to believe that he\'s lying. Perhaps, a misunderstanding… He thought…

\'How could Ayla be a monster? Transformation? Is she a Mythical Beast as well? No, probably a Celestial Beast? Well, if she is, the Celestials around Vincent and within the Towers would\'ve noticed her. Is Krusk lying and just playing a prank?\'

Turhan\'s mind was in a mess as he doesn\'t know how to react to this…

He took a deep breath to collect his mind and in the end, he decided to smile and looked at Ayla…

"It\'s alright, Ayla… No matter what you are, you are still my disciple…" Turhan said as he wanted to make sure that Ayla would feel accepted even if her true identity was revealed.

After all, she has been with him for over a decade now so he had obviously grown fond of her and he wouldn\'t just leave her just because she was a monster in human form.

"This… N-no I\'m just… It\'s not like that…" Ayla couldn\'t find the words she wanted to say. She seemed to be overwhelmed by the sudden attention.

Furthermore, Krusk doesn\'t seem to care about her situation as he keeps pushing her to reveal herself.

At this point, Vincent felt that he has to intervene…

"Alright… Alright… That\'s enough for now… We can simply appraise the fruit if it\'s edible. There is no need for her to try it first… If Ayla has secrets, I\'m sure that you guys have secrets too…" Vincent said to calm down the situation but Krusk butted in again.

"But I don\'t have secrets…"

"Alright… Except you, Krusk… In any case, Ayla\'s secret isn\'t important right now… I think we should investigate this Tree for a bit as well."

Vincent added.

Ayla\'s matter doesn\'t seem to be that important… Right now, this majestic tree should come first…

"That\'s true… Ayla is still Ayla… For now, can we take a few leaves from the tree?" Dianne added. Although she\'s curious about Ayla\'s identity, Vincent was right. The thing she wanted to know more about was the glowing tree in front of them.

With this shift in their topic, Ayla heaved a sigh of relief but she remained quiet.

"We can take the leaves but they will just dissipate… I tried it before. You can try it yourself…" Vincent replied.

Faviona and Dianne looked at each other with confident smiles on their faces and tried to take a leaf…

As expected, as soon as the leaves got \'disconnected\' from the tree, the glow would disappear and the leaf would dissipate into nothingness.

Puff…

A new leaf then came up from the same spot as if it was telling them that it will just return to its original spot.

This was truly interesting and also beautiful…

"It\'s magical… I\'ve never read anything like this in the books…" Ayla muttered as she tried to change the atmosphere around her.

"That\'s true… Not even in ancient texts… However, I\'ve seen murals about this tree in other dungeons…" Turhan commented…

Everyone immediately looked at him but he immediately added.

"The mural I saw seems like a burning tree and human figures are worshipping it… I guess it wasn\'t really burning but instead, glowing…" He explained.

"It is being worshipped? Does it have Sentience or something?" Faviona asked.

"Based on the depiction I\'ve seen, yes… They were kneeling in front of the burning or glowing tree so I assume it\'s some sort of ritual or act of worship."

"That\'s true…"

Faviona nodded in agreement as she pulled out an empty glass jar from her storage bag. Dianne, who had seen this happen, looked quite excited.

It seems that Faviona is about to do something…

Vincent then watched her cover her hands with a thick layer of mana before pulling out a single leaf from the tree…

To their surprise, the leaf\'s glow did not disappear.

At this time, Faviona placed the leaf inside the glass jar that seems to be a Magic Tool.

Clack…

As soon as she closed the lid, they immediately looked at the leaf to see whether it has disappeared or not…

"I did it!" The Tier 5 Alchemist couldn\'t help but celebrate as soon as she noticed that the leaf remained in the glass jar.

It was a success!

"Now… If I have the young mythical beast\'s blood… It would be perfect…" Faviona blurted out as Krusk was stunned for a moment.

"You still want my blood?" Krusk asked after recovering from his shock.

At this time, Vincent decided to join in the conversation.

"If it\'s possible, I hope you can give them a drop of blood… They are alchemists and in case you got injured or needed some help, you can easily ask them… You can even request special armor from them…"

"Oh? I can get armor even with my true form?"

With this question, Vincent did not answer as he glanced at Faviona…

She immediately understood what she has to do and tried to convince Krusk… Although she\'s a Tier 5 Alchemist, she had also learned Magic Crafting so making a large armor shouldn\'t be a big deal as long as she has the materials needed for one.

"Fine! I will give you a drop… However, make sure that you\'ll fulfill your promise!" Krusk finally agreed.

However, before he could try to poke his finger to make it bleed, the Tree of Faith started acting strange.
