Chapter 213: Big Beak Worm! (1/2)

”Ngh!” The Wisp groaned. A painful feeling must be attacking it because of the transmission he forced into it. ”I-I was only drifting in the woods yesterday night when I heard a buzzing sound. After I looked behind me, this thing was already at the back. I tried to run away from it. But this thing followed me.

While I was running away from it, I found myself staring at a fierce-looking creature. The creature was attacking the pitiful band of bees. Sucking them into its wide gaping beak. As a Wisp, I have no way to help them as I am a ghostly creature. I couldn't touch any physical objects, nor could I interfere with them?

Then this creature once again came rushing into me. And the unexpected happened when we crashed into each other.

I found myself inside it!

The weird thing is, I couldn't escape from it as it was like a vacuum that prevented me from escaping.

After a couple of seconds of struggling to escape. I found out that I couldn't do it as this thing was slowly sucking my life force. To protect me, I created a thin layer of protection. Then I found myself suddenly in control of it!”

Said the Wisp in a slight long explanation. ”Then, after that….. I obtained the ability to interfere with physical objects. At first, I was surprised.This thing didn't only give me the ability to touch. It also gave me the ability to use some helpful skills!” The Wisp's voice turned from pained to an enthusiastic one as it was telling its story.

Yman and Sistela were listening to it without intervening as they were very amused by its story, although it was very unbelievable.

He could not help feeling doubtful about it. Then again, what it said might also be true.

In any case, none of them were knowledgeable about Wisp.

But the words of the Wisp made him ponder. It was a realistic outcome, to be honest. One is a drifting soul without a shell, and the other was an empty shell. Though, Yman was puzzled as to why the Wisp attracted the scout bee.

While Yman was pondering he noticed the Wisp was not finished with its explanation and it continued saying, ”...I tried saving the pitiful bees and succeeded. After that, they appointed me as their savior.

I didn't think about myself, but it was a good feeling to help them.

But then an unexpected problem occurred…”

Yman's brows slightly frowned.”A problem? Can you tell me what you mean by it?”

”Yeah, a problem. I found out that this thing was consuming my energy to remain in existence. And because of it, my existence was in danger of vanishing.”

Yman remembered the thing he saw, a while ago, when the scout bee or the Wisp sucked the Teardrop Magical Herb.

He concluded that it must be refueling itself to remain in existence. ”Are you the one responsible for devouring the plants and herbs outside?” Although his belief about it was strong, he wanted to make sure about it.

”Hm? Do you mean those leftover leaves that look like they were eaten by worms?”

Yman narrowed his eyes. The way the Wisp saying it was like it wasn't it's doing.

”Yeah, you are the one responsible for it, right?”

”Ngh, of course not!” The Wisp strongly denied.

Yman frowned. He stared at it, trying to figure if it was lying or not.

Sistela commented.

'Can we appraise the truthfulness of its words?' he asked.

Yman scratched his face. ”But I caught you devouring the Teardrop Magical Herb.”He said to the Wisp.

”No, you're wrong. I wasn't devouring it. I'm just taking a little bit of magical energy from it. Getting a little amount of magical energy from the magical herbs or plants won't affect them that much.”

”Hmm…”

Yman went into deep thinking while staring at the Wisp. Now, it's getting more mysterious. But Wisp's words had a point.

”I see, in that case—”

Sistela suddenly exclaimed.

'Hmm, yeah. Why?'

'I think the Wisp was right with what it said .”'

Yman said his thoughts. Sistela asked and thought that his partner was getting so trusting. It wasn't good if they encountered a vile scheming person. Could it be, his wittiness shrouded after he became stronger? After all, some people who were leaning to strength would lose their ability to think rationally. They were prone to think, 'why waste their brain cells if they could settle everything using their unmatched strength?' Sistela was bothered by these thoughts.

But Yman's next reply made her realize. 'I mean….. that thing only devoured the magical energy and not the leaves itself. In this regard, the leaves would supposedly dry and lose a little of their vitality. But the leaves we saw had different outcomes. So it must be caused by a different reason,' he said to his Deity.

An ”Aha!” The expression seemed like it rose inside Sistela after hearing her partner's simple explanation. Sistela finally understood why his partner agreed at the Wisp. Looks like her partner was still the witty person he used to be. She was glad. Then again, she was still the slow Deity that could not measure her partner's way of thinking.

(Sigh!)
