Chapter 1024 Unwanted Evolutions

Chapter 1024  Unwanted Evolutions

Now that the problem with his Summons should be solved, Michael shared the haul of Origin Liquid with the Untamed Awakened. To be precise, he offered the Origin Liquid droplets for sale in the Jungle Shop where everyone with enough Jungle Points could purchase them.

That was fair, just as selling the Promotion Globes in the Jungle Shop rather than distributing them equally was the fairest option.

Once he was done taking care of the Awakened and Summons, Michael traveled across the Untamed Jungle. However, instead of traveling through the Untamed Jungle on Icarus or another winged monster, Michael remained on the ground. Most monsters of the Untamed Jungle ignored him because they could sense his connection to the Nature Divinity of the Untamed Jungle, but some monsters were simply too stupid to comprehend who he was.

They attacked Michael.

Michael was forced to retaliate, which was rather simple when he used the enchantments on the Mythical Spear. He twisted his body, evading the pounce of a Virodium Hyena before triggering the [Thrust], [Defense Penetration], and [Shatter] simultaneously. His Mythical Spear unleashed through a technique that resembled the Wicked Spear Arts, penetrated the Virodium Hyena's chest and pierced its heart in a single blow.

More Virodium Hyenas attacked him, but Daniel Fang chose to decapitate them before they could harm Michael.

"I could have killed them alone," Michael said, while some of the Elven Rangers, who had decided to travel with Michael and Daniel on their trip through the Untamed Jungle, noted the appearance of the Virodium Hyenas.

"My Lord, should we eliminate the threat of the Virodium Hyenas, or do you wish us to relocate them? We are close to one of the Advanced Farmlands, and our analysis discovered an unusual high corrosion level from the Virodium Hyenas." Michael looked at the Forest Elf for a moment. He was deep in thought, trying to remember since when the Virodium Hyenas entered the Untamed Jungle. Or did they evolve from some of the average Hyenas? Michael couldn't remember, which was odd.

"Eliminate them before they cause any more problems," Michael declared before Danny added, "The Spring of Abundant Life helps the Untamed Jungle to evolve."

Michael nodded, "I noticed that too. We need to increase the number of guards in and around the Pentagon Forts and deploy more Forest Rangers to report and take out the mutated monsters whose existence harms the Untamed Jungle. I don't want the Untamed Jungle to rot from the inside out just because we're too confident. Even if the territory is well guarded and manned with powerful Awakened and Summons, we need to be careful. A single mistake and everything will be over."

Daniel patted his brother's shoulder.

"I know you carry a heavy responsibility, but you should relax a little," Danny winked at Michael, who could only sigh deeply.

"Do you think I can relax knowing I'll have to fight the Primal the next time my training is over? Once my main body wakes up, I must fight one of the strongest entities in the Universe. If I die, everything is over. The territory will fall apart, and everyone I love will suffer."

Danny sighed but didn't say anything. Michael was correct, but knowing everything depended on him didn't help him. If anything, it put even more pressure on the young man. He wasn't even 100 years old, yet the gods wanted him to kill one of the oldest beings in existence? These Gods were insane.

If they could wait for hundreds of thousands of years, they might as well wait a few more centuries or millennia. Why was it necessary to push Michael like that? Was it necessary to rush him into fighting the Primal this soon?

Daniel didn't think so, but the gods must have said something to convince Michael how dire the situation was.

Michael didn't know what his brother was thinking but could tell Danny was deep in thought. He shrugged and decided to answer whatever doubt was on his brother's mind if he was willing to ask away. However, no question escaped his lips. That was how they ended up traveling through the Untamed Jungle for a few weeks – they returned to the Wooden Manor every evening – and eradicated a few monsters with devious mutations.

There were also a bunch of plants with 'unique' mutations, but Michael only removed them when he heard the voice of the Untamed Jungle. To be precise, it was the stirring of the Primordial Tree Spirit trying to tell him that the plant could inflict immense damage to the Untamed Jungle.

Once the dangerously mutated flora and fauna had been removed, Michael focused on other tasks. He personally approached all problems in the settlements within the Untamed Jungle and the Sacred Desert to show how important these problems were. Michael gave his utmost care to each issue, showing the Summons and Awakened how important their well-being and happiness were to him. More and more Links of Loyalty grew firmer as the Summons realized that they were more than dead replicas in his eyes. They were more than valuable assets. Their lives were important to Michael because he cared for his people, not because of the Soul Power.

"Your plan works out very well," Danny mentioned at some point.

He had been with Michael the whole time and discovered a pattern.

"What are you talking about?" "You don't have to act like that in front of me. I understand what you are doing and think it's smart," Daniel praised his brother, who looked sternly at him, "Are you not trying to act like a benevolent Lord to show how great you are after leaving them behind for years? You were too busy dealing with the Summons, which weakened their Links of Loyalty, just to transform into the best possible Lord after hundreds of millions of Links of Loyalty have been established.

Michael raised an eyebrow but shrugged.

"In your time as the Masked Saber, you should have seen how I treat my people. In fact, you have seen much more than that. It might have been a while since I had the time to put so much effort into my subjects, but it's not like I'm acting differently than I used to. To be precise, I return to my original behavior now that I have two bodies to do double the work."

Michael clicked his tongue, "And I'm not sure if I like the way you speak about my efforts of the last few years. I have been working my ass off since I became a Lord in the Untamed Jungle to help as many people as possible, to grow stronger, and to protect those I love. You are one of those, and I went through shit to get you back."

"I…" Danny nibbled on his lower lip and scratched the back of his head. A sigh escaped his lips.

"Yeah, you are right. I don't know what overcame me. Your actions in the last few days felt so different from the effort you put into the Untamed Jungle over the last few years that I forgot how you acted originally."

"Sorry about that," Danny added, "Everything feels a little bit confusing since I inserted enough SoulStar Fragments into Sword God."

Michael listened up at that.

"Enough SoulStar Fragments…for what?"

"You don't know? I started learning about the Law of the Sword. The Sword God Soultrait is teaching me all about it."

What?!
