After a while, Stella finished absorbing the monster's core and walked toward him, seeing her figure, he knew something about her had changed.
She most likely has reached the Supernatural realm, a realm where you accumulate energy in your body to strengthen it.
Almost any being can reach this realm if they have the resources, so it is also called the beginner realm.
If a new lord wants to reach the status of a True Lord, they must have a transcendent level being or ten supernatural(top) level beings.
This is not to say that ten supernatural(top) equals a transcendental (low), but by the system standard, they can control the same area as a lord.
Feeling her master's gaze and noticing his thoughts, Stella displayed her status to him. She also felt somewhat helpless as her lord was too kind to her, even though he could see her status himself, he would still ask her.
This kindness of his also caused her heart to flutter with joy, but she didn't show it in her face.
Rank: Supernatural(low)
Physique: 60(5) Energy: 40(3) Vitality: 50(9)
Looking at her stats, his eyes almost popped out, with her supernatural(low) realm, her stats higher than a supernatural(top) stats.
Although she may not be able to defeat other heroes of that realm due to all the skills they have, but still being able to fight them with such a low level is impressive.
But he also understood such exaggerated increase only occurred due to the blessing she had, her true initial stats may have reached somewhere around one, but with the 5000% boost it became the current stats.
"My dearest Lord, is my growth satisfactory."
Stella asked her voice this time a little timidly, as a proud race she felt her strength too insignificant and felt that she didn't deserve her lord's trust and praise.
But her heart wanted to hear his praise and she knew his kindness, he would naturally praise her even for her current weak strength.
Hearing her questions, Neo's eyes twitched, if he isn't satisfied by this, then what can satisfy him. But feeling that his little hero was unhappy about her current strength, he knew as her lord he had to praise her.
"What is there not to be satisfied with."
"After all my hero Stella is the best."
He said with a smile as he walked a step forward and patted her head, suddenly he relished his actions were too intimate.
'And I thought I lost this habit.'
He sighed in the thought as he remembered the childhood experience with Yulan, that proud girl.
Although he knew this action was intimate, he didn't back down, as that would be losing face, plus her hair was soft and comfortable to touch.
Hearing Neo's words and feeling his hands on her head, her face turned crimson, her breath started to get strained.
Her eyes turned blurred as her mind started to race with various unholy thoughts, it took all her effort not to pounce on Neo.
Seeing Stella standing in silence with her head down, Neo felt that he had gone too far. After all, loyalty doesn't mean you can get intimate with anybody you want, especially someone like Stella who was born to be proud.
Although she will never betray him, trust his every word, but that's all due to loyalty, things like feelings still need to be developed over time.
Plus he knows he currently only feels lust for her, so even if he could make a move he wouldn't.
"Well, I guess I was too intimate. Sorry to startle you."
Neo said as he backed down, his voice was soft but still having the aura of a superior, Stella didn't reply but just looked at Neo's hands and face in daze.
Seeing Neo starting to move forward, Stella bit her lips as she suppressed her restless feeling.
Hours passed as the sun started to set, today, all they had done was hunt monsters, even Stella, with her battle eyes, was somewhat covered in blood.
As for Neo, he was completely fine as Stella never let him make a move. Now near the edge of a forest connecting to his territory, they were fighting a monster.
It was also the strongest monster they faced today. A giant cloud with bloody eyes, it claws and teeth black in color, as they contained extremely powerful poison.
The Forest Poison Wolf!!
Race: Forest Poison Wolf
Rank: Supernatural(high)
Physique: 9 Energy: 5 Vitality: 7
Race Talent: Poison Bones
Skills: Bite, Howl, Poison Blast
Poison Bones: All the bones in the body contain extreme poison.
In terms of stats, Stella absolutely crushed it, but its poisonous ability was the troublesome part. If she had faced it when she just became a Supernatural(low) rank, this would be a troublesome fight.
The wolf roared as poisonous breath started to condense in it's mouth, with a spitting motion a blast of poison was sent to Stella's way.
"Disgusting creature, dare attack me."
Stella scolded as his face became cold, she kicked the ground as the ground exploded. The figure disappeared like the wind as the attack of the wolf missed.
Suddenly the wolf sensed danger and attacked with its claw on the left side.
With a sound of metal colliding, a claw and a sword clashed, Stella looked at the figure of the wolf and her eyes became even more disgusted.
She muttered as anger appeared on her face, focusing her strength on the sword. With the increased force, the wolf's bones started to vibrate as it felt like its claw was about to shatter.
The wolf wanted to take back its claw but it was too late.
With her words, the wolf's claw shattered as the sword went straight toward its head, separating it from its body.
Neo muttered from a distance as he watched this scene, he wasn't surprised. After all, he knew Stella's strength best.
Also, even though she acts arrogant when facing other enemies and even looks down on them, she never holds back her attack.
[Battle Reward: Forest Poison Wolf, 1 Supernatural(high) Monster Core, Poison fangs(supernatural), Poison Blood(Supernatural), Poison Source(Supernatural)]
[Battle Reward: Forest Poison Wolf, 1 Supernatural(high) Monster Core, Poison fangs(supernatural), Poison Blood(Supernatural), Poison Source(Supernatural)]
Seeing the always generous reward, Neo nodded his head, then he looked toward the setting sun in the sky.
It's time to head back, although you can hunt in the night. It's best to rest for the first day and start the battle plan the next day.
Do give me some Power Stone.!!!!!
