The Absolute beast Tamer-Chapter 45: ENA CRYSTAL

Suddenly appearing out of nowhere from the void a huge viper crushed the incoming spider.

Nova’s precise movement was impeccable, saving Lana at the last moment.

Lana’s legs gave up as she slammed to the ground completely shaken, Alan who finished the last spider came rushing towards Lana.

Alan: "Lana are you right?"

Lana: "I…I am fine, but I missed big time; I almost got myself killed. Thank you, Nova, for saving my life.

Nova: " Lana’s Nova friend, Nova will protect Lana"

Lana: "I feel useless I’m so sorry I’m dragging you down Alan"

Alan: "You’re not useless at all, in fact your timing was perfect, and the target you picked was almost perfect even your execution, you kill the spider in one move which is admirable.

But you lose Your concentration simply because you won. You forget that you are in the middle of a battlefield, that is fatal but it’s also the most common rookie mistake.

Even I made this mistake a few times before I learned how to keep my concentration inside the fight. In fact you are doing much better than me when I fought my first time, so you should be proud."

With tears hanging at the edge of her eyes, she looked at Alan with gratitude as he not only saved her life but even guided her.

Alan: "How about we have a small break? Let’s rest for a while and eat something, then we’ll continue exploring."

Nova: "Nova wants meat master."

Alan: "Did you pick Lily’s habit? Well, I already prepared so much grilled meat, so let’s eat."

The three of them rested for a while, enjoying a peaceful meal while discussing the current situation.

Lana: "It feels like we are in a huge cave system underground, but I think this is the nature of this secret realm."

Alan: "Yeah, I also think that the most dominant beast is of the spider type, so we have to be careful of their poison; spiders are deadly assassins."

Lana: "I learned that the hard way twice"

With a forced smile on her face she affirmed Alan’s statement.

Alan: "we have rested enough so let’s get going"

Lana: "yes"

Nova: "Nova’s ready"

....

After walking for hours they have encountered multiple groups of spider beasts that belong to different species.

The strongest they fought was at the fourth stage which made Alan sigh in relief, as for Lana after the first mistake earlier she become much more careful with every fight they go through she was getting better and better to the point that Alan did not believe that the girl who fumbled and lost her spear in a fight is the same girl who’s fighting with him right now.

Lana: " Alan did you hear that?"

Alan: "hear what?"

Nova: "master there is a sound of water nearby"

The four of them walked over to the source of the sound.

When they entered through one of the openings inside the caves, they found a huge lake with a small waterfall. What was incredible was the vegetation that was growing all over the place.

Lana: "Incredible! A waterfall underground in a secret realm."

Alan: "stay alert, we don’t know what we will find"

Nova: " master, two powerful beings are making their way towards us!!"

When Alan and Lana heard Nova, both of them stiffened, especially Alan, who knew the standard of a powerful being in Nova’s scale.

Alan: "Can you defeat them?"

Nova: "one on one I can but together…"

Alan: "Then let’s hide; we will hide behind the waterfall. Can you mask our presence, Nova?"

Nova: "Yes, master, I guarantee they will not find us."

Alan: "Then run!!"

The four of them desperately ran until they entered behind the waterfall.

To their surprise and shock, there was a huge cave entrance that was covered by the waterfall.

Knowing that there was not any other choice, Alan decided to enter this opening.

Alan: "Let’s go inside; we can’t get out anyway as long as they are out there."

Lana: "Okay, stay close, Lucy."

They walked for over 5 minutes, but still they did not see any openings or a dead end, which puzzled them, as this opening seemed much deeper than they initially thought.

Lana: "Alan there is lights"

Alan: "Let’s go and see, but stay vigilant, Nova; tell us immediately if you feel any presence nearby."

....

(?????): weird, I swear I felt a strange presence near the lake. Do you feel anything?

(??????): No Nothing, It is probably your imagination.

(?????): No, I don’t think I was imagining things; I will report this to Mother.

(??????): do as you please But I want to eat so I’m going to hunt.

Around the lake massive spiders appeared, every one of them was as tall as a hell. The terrifying aura around them is enough to scare the most battle hardened warrior.

...….

As they got closer to the light source Lana and Alan both approached carefully.

Lana: "oh my god, this ..this"

Alan took a look with his eyes.

Item: [Ena crystal-low quality]

Description: [The crystallization of massive amounts of Ena, naturally occurring most of the time but can be found if a powerful being falls and dies, as the remaining Ena inside them is released and crystallized through a specialized process, an extremely valuable resource with a wide variety of usage. The most straightforward way is to consume the crystal by meditating nearby it, for beast direct consumption is allowed.

A single Ena crystal of the low quality can rival 100 5th stage core]

Alan: "The inside of this room is full of Ena crystals"

Lana: "this small cave hold more wealth than a bank vault, but to take it away we need to mine it"

Alan: "Ohoho, the princess does not like the hard work. It is okay, my lady; I will take this hardship off your hands."

With a stars in her eyes

Lana: "What hardship! What princess! I was born to be a miner, a room full of high-class beast tamer currency. The poor lady wants some."

Alan Lips twitched at the huge change in character, but this can only show you how valuable Ena Crystals are; even Lana, the princess, can’t fight their allure.

Alan: "Looking at the massive quantity inside, we will need probably a few days to finish gathering everything, so it’s better to set a camp."

Lana: "I think so too, Alan."

Nova: "Master Nova wants to eat the shiny thing."

Alan: "You can eat as much as you want. Lana, summon Laira out. By eating the Ena Crystal, their cultivations will skyrocket."

Lana: "Laira, come out; there is a feast waiting for you."

The huge, pure white wyvern looked at the shining crystals the moment it was summoned, as if it was looking at its own baby.

The dragon blood inside it was screaming for it to collect the treasure in front of it.

....

5 days had passed, and they finally finished mining the last few crystals inside the small room within the cave behind the waterfall.

The only thing that was worth mentioning is that both Lucy, the shadow cast, and the pure white wyvern Laira have advanced to the fourth stage because of the consumption of the Ena crystals.

Even Nova was only a hair away from breaking through to the 5th stage.

Lana, who had broken through to the fourth stage, was extremely pleased as she did not believe how fast she was progressing.

Name: [Lana Hunt]

Stage: [4th stage] [3%]

Name: [Laira]

Stage: [4th stage] [12%]

Name: [Lucy]

Stage: [4th stage] [9%]

Name: [Nova]

Stage: [4th stage] [99%]

Name: Alan Ortex

Stage: [4th stage] [84%]

Their progress was explosive, especially for Lana, who went from early third stage to early fourth stage in one push. But that can show you how valuable it is to have multiple contracted beasts.

Lana: "If it was not for Nova spatial abilities extracting the Ena crystals inside the room would have taken us months to finish, by the way Alan how much did we exactly get"

Alan: "thankfully I bought many storage bags with me otherwise we couldn’t hold so much, I stopped counting after 10 million crystals"

Lana: " oh my God I maybe as rich as Dad, I can’t wait to see his expressions when we get back."

Alan: "be careful they may confiscate this new founded wealth, as it is hard for a young lady to hold this much wealth and dangerous"

Lana: "No No No they can’t do that, Wait if it’s mother she can, What can I do What can I do"

She Then looked at Alan with puppy eyes.

Lana: "Alan Can you keep it a secret that we found so many crystals, I don’t want my mom confiscating all of it from me."

Alan could not help but laugh at the cute appearance of the greedy little princess trying to hide her newfound wealth from her absurdly strong mother.

Alan: " That depends?"

Lana: "depends on what?"

Alan: "on how much you Will pay me to buy my silence"

With a teasing smile on his face Alan decided to play with the little princess.

Lana: "how much do you want, just keep it the secret from Mom"

Alan: "let’s see 50% is a good and a fair cut"

Lana: "That’s too much, But still I would have a lot if I agree"

Lana, who was thinking hard, looked at Alan’s face as she saw him smiling at her. It was at that moment that she understood He was just teasing her.

Lana: " Alaaaaan"

Alan: "Hahahahahahahah, the princess who had fallen for greed was extremely cute."

Hearing Alan say that she was cute, Lana blushed, completely forgetting about her newfound wealth.
