Artic was flying, and suddenly he had to stop because of the energy he felt."Really?"
Artic spoke lightly. After his speech, a large tree began to grow from the forest below with the sound of laughter. The tree had a red color and also starium energy on it.
As the tree continued to grow, he was laughing. When it reached an average height of 50 meters, it stopped and a few red eyes found shape in the sky and began to look at Artic. At the same time, just below the eyes was a mouth of red energy.
"I haven"t seen anyone like you around in a long time."
Artic took a deep breath and started talking.
"If you can tell me, may I ask why you"re constantly hunting me. You who have been at Starium Level since I arrived are attacking me."
A few seconds later, the tree creature responded to him. Artic was studying it at the time.
"There"s a very simple reason that we need different resources to thrive after we"ve used enough of the information we have. That"s why we take their energy by killing different mystics. That"s why killing someone like you and taking your energy is an effective way of developing."
Artic confirmed it with his head. He was expecting this kind of answer. But naturally, before the creature told it to itself, his thought could not go beyond guessing. After all, there could be thousands or even hundreds of thousands of reasons why different starium creatures were hunting for itself on a different planet.
At the time, he was examining the creature"s name and level.
"Red Tree Lord"
"Starium Level 1 / Peak"
"Law"
"Red Tree / Lord"
Artic swallowed slightly. Because the creature in front of him wasn"t like the other creatures. Because, unlike the creature, the creature"s level was at Starium Level 1, but it had reached its final levels. A new Starium-level person like Artic couldn"t handle this creature. But there was one important point that Artic wasn"t as strong as people at a normal starium level.
Red Tree law should be a law covering the red trees that are around. This was a simple point. Lord"s Law was something Artic hadn"t seen before. But he could more or less guess. His student had a strategist"s law. So he thought the two were something similar.
Probably thanks to Lord"s Law, the creature opposite him had the power to at least dominate creatures similar to him. Artic smiled and spoke slightly after finis.h.i.+ng the review.
He had a mask on his face, and naturally, the creature didn"t know he was laughing.
"Well, Red Tree Lord, are you going to fight me or let me go?"
As Artic said his last words, he began to release his energy slightly. In this way, he stated that he was not afraid of war and that he was ready. After Artic"s words, there was a slight laugh. And then the Red Tree Lord started talking.
"Frankly, if I fight you, I can beat you, at least I believe that. But if I beat you, the best chance would be to get to Starium Level 2. The returns of this are not very high on this planet."
Artic was trying to figure out that he had never seen anything hostile until now. But that wasn"t it, he was going to let go. He was always thinking about teleporting in an emergency. So he started talking in a very relaxed manner.
"Can you be a little clear?".
Along with artic"s words, Red Tree Lord continued to speak.
"I was a tree on this planet, actually, but I gained a slight consciousness after I was once impressed by the fact that you humans were experimenting here all the time. Then I worked by collecting the energies around me and managed to get into the path of the law."
Artic made ahead sign that made it clear he was listening. On the sign of Artic, the creature continued to speak.
"But one day, people awakened a creature they didn"t want to mess with. This creature began to kill and destroy everyone because it made them angry. At the same time, a strange device attacked the creature and destroyed it. But then a s.h.i.+eld formed that surrounded the planet. No matter how powerful we are because of this s.h.i.+eld, even if we pa.s.s the Starium Level and reach galaxium level, we can"t get off this planet."
Artic, he"s got a little bit of an understanding. These creatures had a lot of time and resources. But the resources were enough for them for a while. So every given time, when the entrance from the outside was opened to the Red Fire Moon, the creatures woke up and fed on their energies by killing incoming students and people.
And the reason they fed off their energy wasn"t for more power than humans and other beings of s.p.a.ce.
Artic didn"t say anything, so the Red Tree Lord kept talking.
"That"s my story, and frankly, as I said, even if I kill you and get your energy, I"m going to be the most Level 2 Starium. That"s going to make me stronger in my environment, and it"s not going to change much. That"s why I want to make another deal with you."
Artic was listening even more carefully this time. The deals of such creatures were often intended to deceive him. The reason he knew that wasn"t because of the experience. Books he read in his old world, and doc.u.mentaries like that were always shown. That"s why he knew he had to be careful.
"I"m listening, and if the deal"s right for both of us, I see no reason to oppose it."
After Artic"s words, the Red Tree Lord laughed lightly. He was happy to see that Artic"s reaction was positive.
,
Artic wasn"t a little surprised. Although the creature opposite him was Starium Level, he had a similar mind and speech style. That was kind of weird. But it also made things easier.
