It burned worse than he remembered. Man, he hated going through this. It will probably have to go through this a bit more. When the pains started to subside as he looked up. There was a ma.s.sive creature standing in front of him covered in spikes. It scared Radley senseless as he jumped back and removed his axe, ready for a fight. The creature did the exact same and turned around as the spikes on its back rose straight up, "Wait, Blobby!?"The spines relaxed on his back as it turned around facing Radley. It became huge almost the size of a matured baby elephant. He finally recognized the characteristic black coloring, "Holy c.r.a.p. What do you feed on big guy?"
Radley went over and rubbed it under the chin, it actually made a cooing sound when rubbed. A popup appeared. Blobby can now integrate with three traits.
Radley turned and faced the dead creature, "Diff, what is considered valuable on this beast?"
"You"re level is too low to process the creature."
Radley rolled his eyes. Of course, that"s a thing. Well, he didn"t really see any benefit from the creature other than its speed. Radley gave it some thought and decided to move on. He looked at his axe. Wasn"t he due for an upgrade on his axe? He already figured out if his ability was too high for the weapon it would break. That is a problem he needed to fix and fast.
Radley scratches his face for a bit. If one of the flowers was here would that mean there is another one in close proximity? He started to move around in the area but couldn"t find anything for quite some time. He eventually stumbled on a feint outline of one.
When he approached its aura became brighter. Bingo. He found what she was looking for. The second flower. The time of his display showed 18:54. It took a h.e.l.l of a lot longer than he wanted but he was able to find two. He quickly started to run back. A thought crossed his mind. Blobby was large enough to support him, "Hey Blobby. You think you can run with me?"
Blobby tilted his head and grunted. He turned sideways so that Radley could get on. Blobby sped through the area like a bat out of h.e.l.l. Heh? Blobby was that fast!? Radley held on for dear life. They arrived at the stairs in less than ten minutes. Radley looked at the daunting stairs and sighed, "Why so many stairs!?"
He turned to Blobby and said, "Alright you know the drill. Keep a low profile. You"re bigger now, so be extra careful. The first sign of trouble you run up those stairs and come find me. For now, stay here in the brush, humans are rather petty. Diff, would you be able to tell me if anything was wrong with Blobby."
"Affirmative."
"Alright, Blobby, change of plans. I will find you if anything went wrong. Alright time to head up."
He used his ability to burst up the stairs and get to the top in record time. Radley had expected to be winded but to his surprise, he was rather fine.
He casually walked as he felt the tense atmosphere. Yip, a lot of these people were expecting the coming conflict.
He found the doors of the B&B to be closed due to a funeral, but it was open. He shrugged and made his way inside. A young girl greeted him, "Hi, I will be with you right know!"
She quickly ran and served some beer to a customer, "Sorry about that. My name is Kai..a…i. Oh my G.o.d! You"re the Loner!"
Radley scanned her. Kai, Lv.1, excitable nature. Aura: White, "Yes, that is what I was called during the compet.i.tion."
She had big brown gorgeous, pretty eyes, with brown hair. She had a rather pet.i.te build but looked like she had a vigor for life. She wore shorts and a t-shirt. She had a bit of an innocent-looking face that didn"t fit with her personality
"I am such a huge fan. The underdog turned out to be the supreme top dog. Are you dating someone?"
Radley smiled, he was in the mood to tease her, "Keep it a secret, but I am dating multiple women."
Her big brown eyes lit up like a Christmas tree, "That must mean I have a chance. I don"t mind being one of your lovers. In truth I motivate it. You need to be shared."
She ran in to hug him, "You"re armor is hard. Lover."
"How old are you?"
"Sixteen will turn seventeen soon, and I haven"t even had my first time yet. I want you to be my first?"
Radley"s jaw dropped, "Kai that is way too much information."
"What do I care? I am talking to the coolest dude ever!"
"I take it you are Adrian"s daughter?"
"Yip, his one and only daughter."
"You do know your uncle had died."
"Yes, I am supposed to be sad, but I can"t help getting excited when I saw you. I will give you special treatment. VIP status all the way. You can even come to sleep in my room…lover."
Adrian interceded, "Alright Kai, that"s enough."
"Aah, but this is like a dream come true for me. I want to marry him and have thirty children with him."
"Go, get behind the counter."
"Mmm, you"re no fun." She goes stand behind the counter.
Radley was speechless, "What was that!?"
Adrian laughed, "Don"t take her seriously. Try not to at least. My wife did kind of warn me something like that would happen. In any case. I take it didn"t go well?"
Radley turned his head sideways, "Why do you think so? I would have still been out there trying to find these flowers."
He removed them from his backpack.
This time it was Adrian who was speechless. The flower had five petals pointing upwards looking like claws with slightly split tips at the ends. The petals were dark purple on the outside while the inside was a bright yellow. The center had a jet black stem rising from it.
"You actually got it. Not just one but two. How the h.e.l.l did you do this?"
"As I said, I am pretty observant."
