Chapter 231 - Almost alone in the jungle (2) (1/2)

Mary gave a sigh as soon as she woke up, without opening her eyes she knew that he still had not returned, it had been about two months since Mars had mysteriously disappeared from their lives. Mary and the girls were holding on okay since Victoria insisted that Mars was alive and that she could feel him growing stronger at an alarming rate through the contract that bound them together

'But why doesn't he return home..?'

This was the question that races through all their heads not only Mary's, but so far none of them could come up with an answer to the question, Mary sat up in her bed and stretched before she looked around for some clean clothes to wear while in reality her thoughts were in another place...

”Not today monkey!”

Mars dodged out of the way of what could only be described as a monkey, a monkey with long sharp claws that is. It's long and way to big claws looked almost comical on the monkey and it would indeed be very cute if not for the reason that there was over 50 of them and they all looked at Mars while salivating as they attacked him with their long claws. Now there was a reason why Mars didn't annihilate them with his [Energy: temperature control] and that was that he was training his senses or more precisely he was getting used to his new heightened status, before he was transported to the nameless jungle his stats were all in the high 500's but now they all had risen to the low 800's, Mars dodged the monkey's claws with a paper thin margin as he had been doing for the past hour

”...I think this is good enough, thank you all for entertaining me”

Mars activated [Energy: temperature control] and instantly the monkey's froze, literally froze before they fell down to the jungle floor and shattered, Mars jumped down and collected class 6 magic beast cores and absorbed them leisurely. After he absorbed the 50 some cores he gave a nod, his current level was 149 the prof of his hard work over the last 2 months, another thing that had changed were his clothing, long gone were the times when he wore civilized clothes as they had long since been torn to shreds. Now he wore furs and beast hides just like he once did when he lived in the Mother forest

”Well whatever, let's head back for now...”

Mars flew off the ground and started to head in one direction, soon he reached a really tall tree and flew up along the trunk of the tree as he breached the conpeise of the other trees, after he had flown about 10 meter above the canopies he reached a hollowed out place in the trunk and landed on the edge and walked in. The inside of the hollowed out tree was his temporary home in the nameless jungle, inside the hollowed out tree were some simple furniture made out of wood with some furs as bedding, in one of the corners were a pile of bones. Mars walked in and picked up a bone on the way before he sat on the simple bed and transformed his hand and began cutting into the bone while he closed his eyes and hummed a song from his past life, when he opened his eyes a few minutes later a small figure made of bone had been created, the figure looked almost exactly like the monkey's he had been fighting earlier

”This will do...”

Mars gave a nod and got up from the bed before he walked over to the middle of the room where a bunch of similar figures made of bone stood on the floor on a crude map, Mars looked at the map for a few moments before he placed down the figure of the monkey down about where he had been fighting them and looked over the map while he thought out loud

”So the radius of the jungle is about four hours of flight... The strongest magic beasts here seem to be class 16... I still don't know what continent I'm on, not like the shitbag adminisator would throw me somewhere close to Salen anyway... Most likely I am on the other side of the globe...”

Mars gave a sigh and walked over to the bed and sat down before he folded his legs and closed his eyes and started to clear his head and began to meditate as images of his family flashed inside his mind he slowly entered a state of nothingness...
