Chapter 545: Trade? (1/2)
Gravis looked with shock at the Plant Ultimate. Hadn't Ferris said that plants were not fans of slaughter? Also, hadn't he said that the Plant Ultimate was a nice being? How come Gravis was not able to see any of these things!?
”So, you didn't intend for me to learn this stuff,” Gravis said.
”Fuck no!” the Plant Ultimate transmitted with her calm and harmonious voice. ”Everything that stands between you and your path to power must be eliminated with everything you have! Everyone just doesn't want to anger me by stepping on my body with all their power.”
”Wait,” Gravis said as he looked at the flowers. ”This is also your body? I thought you were only this flower.”
”Who do you think I am?!” the Plant Ultimate said with her melodious voice. ”I'm an Ultimate! I am not only this meadow of flowers, but this entire fucking forest!”
Gravis took a deep breath when he heard that. He had expected that this was the bulwark, but in actuality, it was just the Plant Ultimate.
”Ferris! I thought we were at the bulwark!” Gravis shouted to him.
Ferris tilted his head to the side in confusion. ”I didn't say that. I said the bulwark is close, which it is.”
'This guy!' Gravis thought.
”Anyway,” Gravis said as he stood up again. ”Our main goal is to understand the Composition of Wood, but if you allow us to understand more, that would be even better.”
The Plant Ultimate remained silent for a bit. ”Why the fuck would you want to understand wood without having the affinity for it? That sounds retarded!”
Hearing a calm and harmonious voice say the word ”retarded” sure felt weird to Gravis. ”Because comprehending other Laws might give insights into our main Laws.”
”How?” the Plant Ultimate asked directly and flatly.
”Four years ago, Ferris had only had comprehended a single level two Law. Yet, after gaining insights into steam, wind, soul, and earth, all elements that have nothing to do with his fire, he managed to comprehend a level three Law,” Gravis said.
The flower's head turned to Ferris. Gravis wasn't sure what she was thinking, but she must be shocked right now.
”I have felt the level three Law before, but you're saying that he achieved all that in only four years!? Are you trying to fuck with me without giving me some food first? I have to tell you that I don't appreciate being fucked!” the Plant Ultimate said.
”It's the truth!” Ferris said with several nods. ”I've been stuck for over 3,000 years, and after looking at something else for a change, I managed to understand more about my own element.”
”But those Laws are not useful to your Battle-Strength!” the Plant Ultimate said.
”They're not, right,” Gravis said, ”but understanding them gives you more experience in understanding Laws and might give you insights into Laws that increase your Battle-Strength. After all, by looking at something that isn't fire, Ferris managed to learn something that mixed very well with his fire. Ferris, please show her.”
”Show what?” Ferris asked in confusion.
”Your Living Fire!” Gravis shouted back.
”Oh, that! Sure!” Ferris said.
BRRRR!
Three small balls of fire appeared around Ferris as they circled him. They also started inspecting several other things. One of them even came too close to the ground and started burning the flowers.
”No! Bad fire! Come back!” Ferris shouted with authority. The fireballs shrunk a bit and swirled closely around Ferris now.
