(15)

Reminder, comeback withing three hour!

That reminder remain played on my minds as I continue to delve deep inside the small caved of number 13.

The air is musky and the walls feels rough, indicating this caved has been abandoned since the time of disaster.

Since there is still a faint smell of blood, there must be monster inside.

A monster fighting another monster would be a real sight but then again, once their sight landed on my part, doomed will be the only thing that would awaits me till I was ripped apart.

But I won't let that be the end of this life. No matter how huge of a monster they are, I will faced them till they were suck dry.

As when I feel that I have delve enough to reach the center, a wisp of purple light shined bright.

But as soon as it shined my surrounding, I was faced to see one gouge eyes of a huge spider, facing me down by the other.

"Eeekk!"

I fall down on my buttocks and tremble in fear. The first time to see a monster was an Insect I hated the most. Spiders!

They moved with sharpness and if you look deep, their many eyes would faced back to you. But that isn't all the case, because no matter what you do, they will always look at you. That is why I hated them because I feel like I am being watched all the time.

The feeling it gives ain't good to the body nor to the mind, but as long as I remain still, I know I won't inflict their wrath.

As I remain sitted down on the ground while watching the monster body of the spider monster infront of my sight, its other eye balls fall down to the ground, almost making me yell again for the second time.

But as soon as I realized that he had long died, I sprinted up with confidence on my eyes. Maybe adding a little smug look might trigger some spiciness of my look. But who would look when only I was the man inside the 13th caved I choose. So I removed my act and instigate an investigation.

The way the other eye ball fall just dictate its dryness from beeing dead. And this body that might crush with just a touch has been suck dry by time. Maybe, a kind of monster that died from hunger issue, but who am I to judge when I myself worry about the food I ate? Either way, its my life to choose what I want.

"Hmp, be grateful that you died before you can even take me a fight or else, you might end up worse than this."

I take out my sprite while saying, "Come out my baby." As a poisonous butterfly appear seemingly glowing in the night.

The body of this monster has dried from decomposing over time, its whole body is similar to being ash that remain intact. That is the resson why I take out my sprite because the ash of a poisonous monster contains a substance of poison that captivate those with similar trait like my butterfly.

The thing was, if a poisonous sprite ate the ash of a monster with similar characteristics, they may have chance to acquire an evolution trait only they can possess.

Once evolved, they may acquire an enhanced appearance or power, and even another trait given to how much they ate.

[ Your Poisonous Butterfly has successfully evolved ]

And that is the real reason for calling my baby butterfly.

My sprite has now become more mesmerizing in the eyes. Its wings has winden and its power has grow a leap.

[Poisonous Butterfly

2 star, low-stage

Trait: poison, full body veil protection(new) ]

From one star to two stage, it leaps a whole level of a star. This trip inside the caved suddenly feels good.

Leaving that aside as the poisonous butterfly continue to flocks its wings around, I continued to delve deep and soon reach the bottom where a sprite were laying stagnant.

As there is no more monster that was found and the blood was just a lingerie smell from the dead spider with how sensitive the nose of a snake is. There is a thought that come to mind. That If only I could choose this purple wisp as my own, then it would be more better than indulging more deeper into this hole. Yet as soon as I laid my eyes on the sleeping sprite that has been abandoned and hide. With its beautiful lush of green and a body like leaves paired with a grass like wings,

"I finally found my second sprite."

However, with how much the sprite appear with too much life could only say something. It had once reached the final stage of cultivation.

'How do I know that?'

Because it is a sprite that once own by a powerful traveller. A powerful princess that were made as one of the first ancestors wife.

"Svenja!"

As a maiden from the elegant white swan that lives in the southern part, its life were full of life. Choosing the most bizarre sprite she had found near the lake she would always bath, she faced the mocking reaction of her five sisters.

"You think, you will grow with that?"

"Just looking how weird it looks makes me puke out!"

"Damn, disgusting shit! Where did you even found that?"

"Didn't mother teach us to stay elegant? Why are you breaking her words?"

"You sure you ain't sane choosing something so bizarre?"

Even her parents, didn't approve with her decision.

"Honey, just choose something else. There is a thousand sprite around, why would you picked something of an unknown origin?"

"Just hear your mother this time, Svenja. You aren't a kid anymore to be reprimand like this!"

But even so, Svenja persevere and continously provide support to the little sprite for growth. And with continuous effort, Svenja and her sprite grow imaginable. They reach a peak that were hardly reached by anyone.

8 star.

Given how she grow strong with only eleven years of practice, she takes the path of adventure. Though, her family didn't approve of her decision, they couldn't even do anything when Svenja persevere to leave. Cause' no one was her match on her clan. She become the strongest member of white swan.

However, her decision led for the first ancestor of the Shiva clan to take interest to her, leaving one thing but a life full of obsession.

After she was defeated in a battle with the known feared beast, she was locked in the underground cave, and soon was use just to release the urge of the first ancestor.

"She literally live a live she never thought about."

In the end, she gave birth to a daughter and die with a weak smile on her eyes.

"Now that her sprite was left for a century or so, its appearance only appear full of life, but in reality, it was on the verge of dying out."

No matter how strong a sprite can become, once their body was destroyed inside out, they will eventually dried of life.

"The reason I choose the 13th number was solely because of this thing, since I know the future, many good things await me now."

Since it was originally a sprite meant for the childhood friend of the most vile future clan head of Shiva 'Shusi' then I should say my thanks to her once I get out.
