Chapter 750: The Covenant

"Sir Golden Titan said that only those who have a strong will power to hold their sanity together could inherit the power held inside these beast cores."

"Is there perhaps more mystery hidden inside this thing?" Jason wondered out loud.

"Do you know about it, kind spirit?" He took a chance and asked the cold woman inside his consciousness.

Jason was not a fool to take any risk of eating this bloody beast core for himself. He was much too cautious for that.

There was also no need since he was already the man on top of the food chain at this time.

"..." Unfortunately, Jason Birth was ignored.

"Hello! Are you still in there?" He tried again.

"..." And still nothing but silence.

"Hmmm... Does she only respond or activate when i'm about to learn a new magic?" Jason could not help but gave his initial assumptions on the matter.

With how powerful his Wind Domain was right now, he did not believe that the nameless woman was a mere figment of his imagination before.

He noted to test his theories when he got back to his apartment.

"You can collect them now." Jason whispered and continued well on his journey.

He threw the lone beast core in his hands upwards and a creature made out of wind elements descended from the sky. Behind it was a cage of dead monsters of every kind.

This wind elemental will have a long day ahead of it.

Jason Birth killed a B Class monster in the form of a rock golem. Well, desert golem really if one was to be picky about it.

Next was an A Class monster in the body of an angry oversized scorpion. And a list of victims was tallied below.

An S Class Wild Storm Camel.

An SS Class Demon Ghost Fox.

The carcasses of the fallen mutated animals were of course many and diverse but this was the most notable kills amongst the lot in today's hunt.

"I wonder what kind of SSS Class monster will i see later on."

Jason was thrilled to see the apex predator of these apocalyptic lands and recalled that there was no clear records about these top dogs in the books.

"Hmmm... perhaps i could read about them in my later years in school." Our fat protagonist assumed on the spot.

One should know that Jason Birth was only in his first year in the magical academy of Papia City.

"PUCHI!"

"PUCHI!"

"PUCHI!" The deaths were many and most of the time, Jason only had to deliver 1 wind slash to end the pitiful lives of these mutated creatures.

It was a 1 hit 1 kill trick and it was indeed a very efficient way of farming beast cores. Before long, Jason arrived in a world of thorns.

The desert sand were full of these sharp spikes that scattered as far as the eyes could see. It was like Jason was transported into a whole new domain altogether.

Even the hot sun overhead was shrouded by a dark miasma that covered several miles of territory.

"I have felt your coming, human."

"Why have you invaded my deserts?"

"Does your kind now break their covenant of peace with ours?" A giant cactus plant that seemed to reach the heavens in height appeared from out of nowhere.

It looked eerie and majestic at the same time. There was no doubt that Jason Birth has finally encountered his first SSS Class monster. Alas, this was not what occupied his mind right now.

'Ohhh... my... lord! What covenant?!' It was at this time that Jason Birth knew that he fucked up.

Jason Birth paused for a precious second or two. He may have reached an impossible height of power already but that did not at all add wisdom in his young mind.

In the end, Jason merely decided to play it by the ear.

"I am a supreme expert from a faraway world and this is my first time arriving in this realm. I know nothing of any covenant between you monsters and the humans on this earth."

Jason Birth shook his head and then looked at the huge cactus that loomed above him.

'What a scary human!' The monster cactus almost prostrated in perfect horizontal at this time.

Just looking at the eyes of this little human in wind elemental camouflage produced an unimaginable terror deep unto the heart of this monster cactus.

"WHOOSH!" The rustling of wild winds graced the scene as a big plant monster shivered uncontrollably at this time.

Unfortunately, Jason Birth took these actions as the prelude of a short and fatal battle against him.

The monster cactus may be huge and all but killing it was merely a thought's decision on his part.

"I need to go now. Farewell, big guy." Jason Birth uttered a newbie excuse and a breath later, his form vanished as if he was never there to begin with.

'An unknown piece descends unto this world. I don't know how much changes that human shall bring in his advent.' The cactus monster mused inside in fear.

One should know the evolution of humans and monsters started 500 years in the past.

At this time, an SSS monster like this big plant will have already gained so much wisdom that was far beyond the mortals who has no gift in harnessing the power of the world.

"I need to tell my brothers and sisters of this news." The cactus monster concluded at this point.

"I wonder what the contents of the covenant is?" Jason Birth muttered while he was busy flying slowly over the thick puffy clouds.

In his knowledge, the worldwide condition was always unstable.

The threat of a beast tide happening was always ever present and this was the reason why a hidden fear troubled every mortal's waking hour ever since the apocalypse began some 500 years prior.

"Is the covenant a truce of some sort between humans and the evolved monsters?" Jason mused for a while.
