The Place Where Everything Begins

Chapter 104 - Jeremy's Decision And Baby (1)

The mana particles coming out from the three dantians went through many meridian pathways along the way within Jeremy's body towards his right palm and then started forming into a circular shape the size of a tennis ball.

When the young Goron saw something so amazing for the first time, it exclaimed excitedly,

"Woah, It's amazing... wait... that's mana? How...? You can wield mana!?"

But its excitement was short-lived...

Three seconds later, a light-blue ball was finally formed above Jeremy's palm...

Amazingly enough, Jeremy cast a mana bolt spell 'without' any incantation.

If any human mage saw someone whom was not even a proper true mage did such a thing, they might have cried out tears of blood.

Because... a chantless spell could only be achieved by a high-level mage, who had gained access into their sea of consciousness.

"Yes, it is mana. Furthermore, it is chantless. You know... humans like us can wield mana and elements at the same time, unlike you guys, stupid elemental races, which can only utilize elemental energy."

Upon finishing his cruel sarcasm towards the stupefied half-elemental creature, Jeremy took a pitching stance with his left leg in the front, and his right leg was behind.

When the yellow creature saw such a sight, it suddenly came out from its stupor as it felt a dangerous premonition coming out strongly from the human...

"Full elemental body!!" The Goron shouted loudly to activate its ultimate ability without any hesitation.

After that, the rocky hides behind the young Goron seemingly came into life as they promptly became thickened and moved to cover its entire body within a few seconds, leaving no gap behind at all.

'Well, I hope that elemental form is limited to defense only, or else, I will have to use tier-1 spells to battle with it...'

Jeremy thought inwardly while he put all of his body's momentum on the right arm before throwing the mana bolt in his right hand swiftly towards the transforming Goron.

As it was only a young Goron with pretty limited Earth manipulation, it could only stand still while focusing its entire mind on controlling the rocky hides to cover its body.

That's why the Goron could only stand in place and watch silently as the mana bolt came flying straight towards its big stomach... well, with a fearful expression clearly plastered on its face.

*Whoosh*

The mana bolt flew towards the short yellow creature at breakneck speed while still maintaining the rounded shape as it moved...

Right when the rocky hides had finally covered the young Goron's body thoroughly, the mana bolt also arrived at its stomach.

And they eventually collided...

*BOOOOMMM!!!*

The explosion's deafening sound rang out within the arena, drowning in the bystanders' cheering voices for a few seconds.

Dust and debris from the yellow soil and rocky pieces came flying here and there, clouding the entire area where the young Goron stood before completely.

A split second later, a yellow silhouette suddenly flew out from the clouded area at a fast speed...

*Whoosh*

If a person looked closely at the airborne creature's stomach, the person would see a gaping hole that could be seen through to the view behind.

The young Goron's body flew back towards the high wall behind it, leaving an orange blood trail and organ pieces gruesomely along the way.

*Thump*

In the end, the young outlander's plump body hit heavily against the stone wall, causing its body to bounce back one meter away from the place of impact.

*Thud*

The young Goron eventually fell face down towards the ground, showing no movement ever again...

"Woahhh!!!"

"Death, again!!!"

"The challenger won!!!"

"Blood!!!"

"Yayyy!!!!"

The exciting cheering and appreciating applauding noises reverberated out loudly after the Goron's body fell to the ground with a thudding sound...

'Arrogant prick...' Jeremy thought while shaking his head slightly...

Soon after, a window of notifications showed up in front of him...

...

[You have received 1,420 SP]

[You have received 5x? for successfully killing Gorogorogomugomuno of the Goron race]

[You have 10 minutes for recuperating]

...

'Hmm... my hunch had told me earlier that there must be some hidden meanings behind the so-called no-named Initiate Warriors. But right now, the enemy suddenly has a name and a long one at that.' Jeremy thought to himself with a slight frown after seeing the notifications about the 'sumptuous' rewards.

Soon after the notifications about the rewards disappeared from Jeremy's sight, other ones showed up promptly, distracting him out of his deep thought...

...

[You have received 3x? for successfully completing the trial's hidden objective]

[Would you like to be teleported outside?]

[Yes ? No]

...

After seeing the new notifications in front of him, Jeremy suddenly fell into a dilemma,

'Hmm... Considering that there is a ten-minute resting time for me, it means there is another battle. However... my third opponent is already this strong, and my spear blade is also broken. If I choose to fight another battle, then...'

It couldn't be denied that the rewards Jeremy received from this trial so far were quite heaven-defying as he had gained fifteen black stars from defeating just three enemies.

So, if he fought another 'tougher' battle, wouldn't he get even more black stars?

That's why Jeremy was weighing the pros and cons of his situation currently...

One side was his cautious behavior, which was to conserve the mana for the upcoming dangers...

Another side was his greedy self, which wanted to gain every precious thing within this trial regardless of the mana consumption...

*Fwuu...*

At last, Jeremy let out a long breath from his mouth before thinking,

'Fuck it! The black stars are too precious to miss in any way. Even if I have to take some risk, it is still within a tolerable level.'

Jeremy's eyes suddenly shone with a firm resolve... Well, it should be 'shone with a firm greed' instead.

As a result, Jeremy promptly chose not to be teleported outside yet, so the interface disappeared shortly after.

However...

In contrast to Jermey's expectation that the interface would disappear once and for all because another transparent interface suddenly popped up instead, and this time it actually came directly from the System itself...

...

? It is recommended strongly that the contestant chooses to complete the trial and be teleported outside, for the next opponent's battle prowess is perceived to be within the realm of impossible to pass for the current Le'Liac humans' standards of strength ?

? Hereby, the System shall grant you another chance to rethink your decision again ?

? Would you like to be teleported outside? ?

? Yes ? No ?
