Amon, The Legendary Overlord

Chapter 85 - 85: Sunflower Seed

As they passed through the portal, they felt as if they had turned into noodles being stretched. It was a repulsive and incredibly strange feeling.

The teleport took only a few seconds, but to them, it felt like an eternity.

When it was over, they still felt as if they were being stretched. It was the same feeling as staying at sea for a long time and going out; still had the feeling of being at sea.

"It was fun?" Old Hazael had the smile an elder asked his students.

But in Barbara's eyes, Julia and Maisa looked like a devil's smile.

Amon, on the other hand, found the process interesting. It was a unique experience, he wanted to understand how it worked, his mind started to wander, but he didn't have enough information - he couldn't understand what he didn't even know the basics of how it's done.

Ariel was more adventurous, although at first, she felt a little nauseous, then she even enjoyed the process of being stretched like a noodle.

Seeing that everyone was 'all right', although some vomited, Old Hazael smiled and said: "This is Primitive Planet XI. The test of strength is done in that skyscraper, but before that, I want to test your strength, Amon. This time, I want you to give it your all, not as you did in the tournament."

"Okay." Amon nodded.

"Good." Old Hazael smiled with satisfaction.

The place where they were was surrounded by nature, huge trees, some of which they didn't even know existed, different plants, insects four inches or more.

"Caution." Old Hazael took Barbara by the arm.

A moment later, a flower that looked like a sunflower opened a large mouth and bit the air where Barbara was supposed to be.

Cold sweat began to trickle down Barbara's forehead.

Old Hazael warned: "This place is full of danger, if you're not careful, even a single plant could end up killing you. By the way, that plant has a super potent poison, after it's bitten, its body melts like jelly. Of course, it's not instantaneous. The stronger you are, the longer it will take if you don't take the antidote."

Barbara's body shook a little.

Seeing this, Old Hazael said: "Although it has a very strong poison, it is incredibly fragile. Try it and throw a small fireball at it."

"Okay." Though her heart racing, she came here to train, and Old Hazel was the trainer, she needed to hear from him.

Manifesting a small ball of blue fire, she fired at the sunflower.

A shrill scream echoed and soon the sunflower withered and left behind a half-gold green seed.

Old Hazael went and got it. Then he handed it over to Barbara: "It's your luck, this is for you." He explained: "This seed is an important resource for strengthening the spirit. By consuming this, some mental attacks will not work on you."

"Oh..." First, she was surprised, then she bowed towards Old Man Hazael and thanked, "Thank you!"

"Hehehe, no need to thank me, I do this because I like to teach new students, and I'm very fair with what students get, that you achieved by yourself, of course, belongs to you." Old Hazael said.

Maybe he was right, but Barbara doesn't believe he would be if he were someone else. Greed was hard to get rid of, some would even want the least amount of treasure you find, and from Old Hazel's description, this sunflower seed is a very good thing.

"Amon, I want to give it to you." Barbara walked towards him.

"No." Amon shook his head: "Don't be like that, I'm already strong, for now, the strongest of the group, if you start giving me the good things, when will you catch up? Or maybe they don't want to be part of my group anymore?"

When they heard this, the girls' hearts moved.

"Yes, Amon is right. I don't want to be left behind!" Barbara steadied her determination and swallowed the seed right away. She felt her mind strengthen in an inexplicable way, it even became easier to remember little things.

Old Hazael, seeing this from afar, smiled.

Honestly, he knew that if Amon moved alone, he could get stronger faster. However, he still preferred to go with the girls' rhythm and help out when necessary, this kind of mentality was what most called attention in old Hazael.

At first, it's okay to be a little selfish, but it's not good practice. After all, humans are so powerful these days because they are united, unlike other races spread across the universe, humans live helping and strengthening together, covering each other's deficiencies. That's how humans made it to the top despite being a primitive race initially.

"Come on, we're just getting started." Old Hazael said.

"Yea!" They continued following old Hazael.

They will pass through the forest, making their way through the bushes.

After they arrived in a more open area, it was beautiful beyond words. There was a very strange waterfall, instead of going down, it went up, in the lake that formed, there were some monsters drinking water. The appearance was quite unique, something they had in common was horns, some like bull's horns, others like deer horns, others like donuts, anyway, there were many shapes. Even those who looked like a gorilla had horns.

Old Hazael slowly explained: "Initially they were all common animals, however, the Cirza Race started experimenting on this planet, which suddenly caused his factory to explode and gas leaked out. This gas caused the animals to mutate."

"...Poor people," Maisa said with pity.

"Well, yes." Old Hazael said: "The gas is long gone, but the effect of the gas is irreversible. Although they still have life, they are nothing but monsters, although they don't attack each other very often, when they are hungry they eat even the young.. Another thing, they are destroying nature more often, especially the fire types, some have a fetish for setting fire to forests. Now, do you understand why they are treated like monsters?"
