Amon, The Legendary Overlord
chapter-124-30041322

It didn't take long, almost 40 minutes later, Amon stopped training. Despite this, he didn't even break a sweat. His physical difference from then to now was very big. Even when he had struggled in the last few minutes while training, it wasn't enough for him to feel tired.

His muscles became stronger. The joint became more flexible and firm. His body control was excellent, although he couldn't say the same for his generic control. At least after training, he was no longer blasting lightning out of his mouth.

"Amon, are you done? Is it okay to approach us now?" Barbara asked. Seeing him nod, she approached with a beautiful smile on her face.

Flipping her hair to the side elegantly, most likely on purpose, then holding his arm with her two hands, she looked into his eyes. Barbara blinked sillily and cutely at the same time and said proudly, asking for praise, "Amon, Amon, you won't believe it!"

She smiled a lot while showing her white teeth, and highlighting her canines. "I managed to open 78 genes and filled in 69 blue fire genes. Isn't it amazing; isn't it amazing?"

"There she goes getting all the attention."

Despite saying it like that, Julia jokingly said, "Amon, although my genes aren't as special as Barbara's blue flames, maybe thanks to that, I managed to open 79 genes and fill in 75 genes with water."

She then made a "V" sign using her left hand. Her smile when she finished speaking was as bright as Barbara's.

Hearing this, Barbara huffed playfully and smiled again. Although she wanted to continue to lean on Amon, she was quite understanding when she pulled away seconds later.

"Well, it's no surprise that my strength was almost always equal to my sister's." Maisa stood a step away from Amon, looking nonchalant, but her sparkling eyes gave her away as she said, "It's no big deal. I managed to accomplish a little less than my sister, having opened 78 genes. But in return, I filled in 76 genes of water."

"Hehe, as my genes are quite special, I was only able to open 73 genes and fill in 68," Ariel said with a chuckling tone.

Even if it is the one with the least, it should not be underestimated. As she said herself, her genes were more special than usual. The amount of things she was able to do thanks to her genes made her a very dangerous opponent.

The displeasure of having his clothes in that state wasn't great enough to shake him. Amon could even feel changes in his behavior. The fact that he was now 'free' from the emotion of fury made him feel looser, however, a new emotion appeared due to his genetics.

Genetics – Calm down. Maybe that justifies why he's calming down for no apparent reason. Just as he was easy to get angry before, especially when his fury was low, it was now very easy for him to stay calm. While it wasn't as bad as it was with fury, it wouldn't necessarily be a good thing if he stayed calm at all times.

'Why is it just calm?' A question that was determined not to have an answer.

At least it wouldn't be easy for him to figure it out on his own. 'Maybe my grandparents know...'

Maybe at first, he had no doubts about his grandparents' past, but as he got older, Amon learned that the things his grandparents knew, especially the way they taught him to control his fury, made him start to wonder how they knew about that, since there was no record on it in the books he read in the home library.

But even when he asked, each time the answer was the same: "It's too early for you to know that."

Or once his grandmother had replied, "Little Amon, there are things you should only know when the time is right."

After hearing the same answers countless times, he stopped asking.

*Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!*

Though the rain had stopped the moment Amon stopped meditating, the ground was now wet. Wherever they passed, it was difficult not to make noise when stepping in puddles.

Well, they weren't as cautious as before, either, since Amon was able to create his genetic factor. Even if they encountered a monster that already had a genetic factor created, they could still fight. Not only that: the girls also became much stronger. Their growth might not have been as ridiculous as Amon's, but even so, they wouldn't be a detriment when it came to fighting.

"I wonder if the monsters are still fighting over the blood-eating tree?" Julia raised the doubt that Barbara, Maisa, and Ariel were all having.

Amon touched his chin. He only stopped to think for a few seconds before replying, "It has been many hours. However, there are three potential possibilities that I can think of right now: Firstly, it is possible that the monsters keep killing each other near the tree. If that happens, you still have a chance. Secondly, some monster with a considerable level of intelligence may have noticed how the tree feeds and fed it with blood. Thirdly, a fledgling, or even several fledglings collaborated and fed the blood-eating tree with blood."

"I think you're right." Ariel nodded in agreement and added, "It's very likely that one of those three things has been happening. After all, fledglings who saw it happen would be smart enough to understand how the blood-eating tree works. At worst, the fledglings who were nearby were killed, so I can't say if it's still possible that something is still happening."

"It doesn't really matter," Barbara said flexibly as she placed both hands behind her head, "Even if it's over and the monsters and fledglings are gone, we can still do it all over again."

"That's right." Thinking like that, they stopped thinking about the other possibilities.

Although it was a little far away, soon they would arrive and see the truth of what had transpired.
