Time slowly passed, and the night got darker.
The great forest of Kamut becomes a different place at night.
The tall trees glow in the bright light of glowing plants and flowers.
Blue, purple, green-yellow, and red are the most beautiful colors when it comes to flowers and the moss of night.
The moon looked more blue and beautiful than what I remembered.
It was bigger and seemed closer to this place.
,m The fireflies and beasts with bioluminescence roamed the areas with no care for the world.
There were still weird voices now and then, there were still screams of different ‘things’ from time after time too.
There was a weird chill in the air, the same as when I first saw that ghost.
I was still mentally scared, but it wasn’t that bad.
Moving from tree to tree, seeing everything ahead with dim lights and moving things.
I was seeing many beasts which I haven’t ever seen in the morning.
Bats, insects like a centipede, spiders, and birds like owls.
There were many new herbs and plants that only grew at the night.
I collected every one of them, but the process took a long time.
I had to be careful and play with all my attention and focus on the targets.
If I make even one wrong move here, I would be dead for sure.
[[ Master, that one looks beautiful too! ]]
[ “Yes, yes. We will take that one next” ]
I wasn’t that on edge right now and I was enjoying myself quite a lot thanks to this excited butterfly.
Celes was jumping from flower to flower, sucking everything she saw.
Her wings were glowing in the light of night, just like the moon in the sky.
Though she only used my origin energy, she can absorb the light from these plants.
It was strange as the light would come back after a moment, but it was still a fun activity for her.
She was enjoying herself and seeing her was drawing a smile on my face.
I covered myself in black clothes and my eyes and hair were also black, matching the shadows of the night perfect way.
Moving in darker clothes is the most basic thing on this night.
The creatures of the night were everywhere, but I was able to safely move here thanks to Celes’s skill.
In some open areas, skeletons were coming out of normal earth.
They were mostly humanoids, but they had unique features to normal humans.
There were also skeletons of different beasts.
These weren’t demonic creatures but normal undead creatures that were indeed mindless and moved with natural energies.
They were like some toy with a dead body but still remained with somewhat batteries.
Unlike ghosts who didn’t have any physical body at all, these skeletons had an unstable physical body.
Their lifespan wasn’t that long, mostly some nights, and then they were gone.
Against undead creatures, the light attribute was so effective because it had polar opposite properties to the overall energy of the undead.
The higher form of light, divinity, had an even greater effect on them.
Just being in the presence of [Divine Energy] could weaken undead creatures.
But, as the light attribute was something that not even one in a million people could have, ‘they’ granted divinity to even fewer people than that.
Unlike borrowing the power of gods like a priest or holy knight, they did the divinity grating through blessings or self-realization.
Holding divine energy and borrowing it from someone were very different things.
So, I was lucky to have the light attribute.
I could say the same for all the light attribute creatures roaming around here and there.
Be it rabbits, moths, lizards, birds, or anything with the light attribute, was weak against the darkness attribute.
Darkness was second only to light in terms of rarely.
Assassins and thieves used the darkness attribute and its higher form, [Death Energy] was used by <Necromancers>.
It was rare, very rare, to find a real necromancer as the death energy was more powerful and rare than [Divine energy].
Though higher beings also granted [Death Energy], there weren’t many who ruled over death.
So someone mostly earned it by one’s efforts.
Death didn’t mean something bad, but just the loss of one’s soul.
[Death energy] was mostly gained through self-realization and [Divine energy] was mostly granted by higher beings.
So, the reaction to darkness arrows would be the same to creatures with the light attribute as the light attribute does to the undead.
Well, I did not need to think about that as creatures with light attributes were calm creatures that minded their own business.
Jumping on another branch, I stopped before a brightly shining red flower.
It was surrounded by giant flowers that directly grew from the ground and were at least two meters tall.
The red, glowing flower was beautiful, and the red dust coming out of it was like stars.
At its roots, a thick red liquid was gathered, and it was constantly decreasing.
When it was on the verge of running out, the green flower-like plant took a deep ‘breath’ and spit out a mouthful of this red liquid.
As anyone could predict, it was blood.
The ‘flowers’ with 15-centimeter long blue teeth were [Beast catchers], and the flower in the middle of them was a super rare [Langsdorf], a blood-drinking flower and natural treasure.
It was a unique sight to see the so-called ‘vampire flower’ being cultivated by these plant beasts.
It required a large amount of blood to grow, but the Mana it contained was larger than any plant, herb, or flower I had seen until now.
It was so Mana rich we can use it as a (Red) ranked core.
But, without a constant supply of blood, it would only live for a day in normal conditions.
That was a (Red) ranked core right in front of me with six (Red) ranked beasts guarding it, or… feeding it.
Well, the red dust it sprays out is almost like a drug to these plant-type beasts, so it was understandable.
Though it won’t do anything to me, the plants were not an easy kill.
I will have to take out every one of them at once so that they don’t attack me with those blue teeth.
As they could literary fire them like bullets, it was fatal against someone like me with low physical defense.
I knew my protective gears were damaged and they might not be able to sustain the rapid-fire from even two of them.
So, against closely standing beasts of plant type, (Thunder) was the best attribute to use.
With the destructive power and chain damaging effect, it was best in the situations like this. 𝐞𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝗺
And, I was certain to get something like a (Red) ranked core from this small fight so I was even more excited.
