![]() ![]() ![]() There were the occasional similarities, such as a few monsters with black exoskeletons that made them look like overgrown termites. The heap of corpses spilled out onto the damaged runic formation in a surge of blood and guts, and Ashlock didn't recognize a single monster as a creature from Earth. Unfortunately, some of the corpses also got charred by his lilac soul flames-but Ashlock was fine with that-as he lacked control without any techniques to guide his Qi usage. With no sign of Stella or Diana returning anytime soon, Ashlock decided to indulge a little and confirm his fear that the system would limit his growth somewhat.Īs the sack had been left lying against one of his exposed roots, Ashlock used his Qi to burn away the silk.

Larry just stood there-clearly unresponsive to Ashlock's praise. With nothing to do except watch birds eating his seeds and dying, he was starved for any kind of interaction. ![]() "Thank you, Larry," Ashlock said his first words in over a month. Larry then decided to hurl the sack of corpses over the wall-it sailed through the air before landing with a sickening crunch and squelch as if the sack contained a soup of bones and organs. The lazy tree stopped cultivating to focus on Larry crawling through the hole in the pavilion wall while dragging a sack of silk five times his size.Īs Larry hauled the sack, a deep trail was left in the training courtyard's sand as he approached the wall separating the central courtyard from the training grounds.
