Chapter 270 - Selecting a beast core (2/2)

”Precisely.” Lenny replied, ”That was one of the major mistakes the human's made when trying to absorb these crystals. Of course, there are other things as well but this is an important first step.”

”Would I be able to this as well to get stronger?” Jack asked

Lenny then looked at Jack for a few moments before deciding to reply.

”You are already plenty strong boy, and I don't think you have reached your limit either,” Lenny replied, But I will be honest I'm not sure. It's hard to say whether werewolves were an existence to begin with? If so, I doubt we could allow you to absorb crystals but I also have a theory that this might be how the werewolves race was born to begin with.”

Lenny mind started to wonder, he was getting ideas with tinkering with Jack's body, doing tests of his own, but he knew that would be wrong. Jack was a companion. It was fine tinkering with his own body and helping those that were willing like Martha but he had his own morals and wouldn't do something against another person's wishes.

Jack was a little upset with the answer Lenny had given him but at the same time, he realised something. Jack himself didn't know much about werewolves or why he even was one. He had yet to go home and discuss with his family. Were his father and mother the same as him?

Or had someone experimented with him when he was younger like Lenny did himself. When the time was right Jack would need to go back home and ask his family these questions.

”Do you have any idea what type of beast we should go looking for then?” Martha asked.

”I have seen you fight for the last couple of days while we have been practising outside. I have a good idea of what would suit you. I will keep an eye on the local Quest bored and see if anything pops up but I do have to ask you one more time. Although I am almost certain I can avoid death, I'm not a hundred percent sure this will work, even when I used this method on myself I nearly died, if it doesn't kill you and is not successful, there is a good chance you could become crippled, unable to use Ki at all.”

Martha clenched her fist hard, at the moment she wasn't even strong enough to go up against advanced tier beast on her own. There were still things like the true infected out there and even shadow infected beasts.

Right now, she knew she was basically useless baggage and it looked like the people around her were only getting stronger while she was being left behind.

”I will do it,” Martha said.
