Chapter 233 - Fierce Xijun
-----
However, there was something that Xijun wondered about Gustav after these almost two weeks of being with him. From where did all these powers he had came from? He had showcased at least the manipulation of over 7 elements combined into his Domain Aura which he could shape as deadly spears, he even had a powe rful weapon himself, and to boot, he had techniques and skills he didn't had, such as an extensive knowledge about various types of spells through his skills, being able to make fire with magic, wind, water, and more, and even manipulate darkness, the void, and more… she was always being surprised every day as Gustav slowly began to relearn his abilities and adapt them to the energy pressures of this world.
Because the energy of this world was so constant and strong, they felt like powerful and deadly winds that continuously pushed his progress backwards all the time. He felt like whenever he unleashed a lot of power, these winds would suppress it passively, so he had to get used to this and find ways to use his power without being completely suppressed. He was therefore relearning his abilities and techniques while making them more "minimalistic" while still retaining the majority of their original power. Of course, this task was not easy.
Nonetheless, even with this suppression, Gustav was easily someone strong, he was able to showcase incredible prowess like nobody else. And used this prowess of his to impress Xijun from time to time, as he used his powers cleverly to help her catch prey more easily… although these monsters were so strong that it was always a challenge.
Nonetheless her question was not only what the heck were his powers but how was she able to see him grow stronger by killing things. She noticed each time he killed a monster or helped her kill it, he gained a bit of that monster's life essence… something that could only happen if you ate a lot of that monster.
And lastly, the most insane and obviously ridiculous thing was when he firstly helped her kill a Raptor, when it was killed, the beast suddenly glowed brightly and a few items emerged around it out of nowhere, such as a dress, a raptor's scale armor, and even potions, things she had never seen before.
But even this was kept hidden from her, as Gustav refused to elaborate further and always changed the subject… Xijun was a bit dumb of a girl, but even she was growing tired of this and demanded answers after two weeks.
She had already been enjoying these dropped items a lot, from the dresses she gets to the new furniture that sometimes drop, there are even new consumable items which she had tried out and found great.
But this was the end of it! She asked him this.
"Gustav I am already getting bored of waiting for you to tell me this! But what are your powers?! I can take it if you don't remember who you are… but you're using them as if you knew what they do… Tell me!" she said.
"I… I don't know either. I just merely developed them… As I told you, I have Amnesia…" said Gustav, he found on Amnesia a good way to elaborate over his items and powers without having to worry that much. Xijun felt angered that he was lying to her again, as she smacked him into the head like a spoiled brat.
"Stop lying!"
SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!
"Ungh…!"
The power of a Supreme Goddess-realm girl was still mighty, so Gustav felt like his head was going to burst with each smack. However, Gustav stopped her midway through, as he apologized.
"We have spent some time together… And we had certainly grown a bond together too, Xijun, but this… its not something I can easily talk about. For now, let me tell you that… I don't come from this world." Said Gustav.
"Y-You don't?" she asked.
"Indeed… And that's for now. I cannot elaborate further, but just take the items that come out, they're special for your growth. I think I could share more of my power to you if we grow closer… Sorry." Sighed Gustav.
"Sigh… Well, at least we are making progress! Honestly, I don't know what to think most of the time regarding you. You came out of nowhere and you're now showing crazy powers I never saw before… You're very amazing, more than my old man!" said Xijun.
"I don't know if that's a compliment or not… Xijun, you're also very strong, how did you do it?" asked Gustav.
"S-Strong? Me?! What are you on about? I am not strong at all, in fact, I am quite weak! I think of myself as a little weakling… I don't know how you can even remotely consider me strong… The only thing I do is fish for food and catch monsters sometimes." Said Xijun.
"T-That's already impressive. I guess you grew up in such harsh environment…" said Gustav.
"You didn't?" wondered Xijun.
"Let's say my world was of… a lower level than this one, yeah, that should work." Said Gustav, as Xijun barely understood what he meant.
She immediately began to gather resources after that, picking up drifting wood, shells, and other little things they found around the shores. This way, they had a lot of raw materials to work out in their little house, which Gustav felt inclined in helping her gather.
After that, the little hut they had begun to get more wood added to it. Gustav knew he could bring more materials out if he wanted, but liked how Xijun worked so hard for her little thing, if he came with all sorts of materials out of nowhere, it would feel insulting to her, maybe…
After that, another day passed by as the duo were still enjoying the large amount of meat left by the Tyrannosaurus, which had dropped a set of armor Gustav was wearing
