130 Chapter 130
Amon’s fists seemed to weigh tons, and with lightning speed, he crushed the head of a five-eyed, two-horned horse-like monster into mush.
The headless body took a few steps. It was a lot like a chicken that had lost its head but kept running anyway. However, the headless monster’s body didn’t get far before it fell with a ‘thud’ sound to the ground.
Maisa, who was closest, saw this scene and she would have had to confess that she felt a little scared when she saw a headless monster running a few steps. She placed her hand on her chest and sighed when she saw that the monster had stopped running after a few steps without its head.
“Look, these are all the people who want their share of the blood fruits.” Ariel had a toothy smile as she pointed at people who were no longer worried about hiding behind bushes and trees. Amon didn’t chase the next monster and looked at where she had pointed. His cold eyes scared these people.
Amon had just killed a monster that had a genetic factor created. Going against someone like that was scary, but the fact that the bloodfruit had already ripened was still too tempting for them. Many were thinking of trying their luck and stealing a blood fruit and running away. If they succeeded, it was even possible they might create their first genetic factor. How could they not be greedy?
The gloves on Amon’s hands flashed with lightning. With his eyes cold he said, “If you continue to threaten to come closer, I will come over to you all.”
Lightning crackled around Amon; he looked like a god of war. Even the monsters did not approach him foolishly, as there was brutality in his beautiful eyes.
Freshmen from the other universities took a step back.m, while those from the same university looked at Amon with hope, even if they feared his power.
“When Amon said that, he meant all of you, even you who are from the same university, you know?” Ariel said with her classic smile.
They, too, left then but left muttering.
“Greedy bunch!”
“Damn, we are from the same university, but they still dare to treat us like that?”
“Are we just going to leave it at that?”
“Oh, you’d dare go up against that lightning maniac?” ｂ𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎ｌ.ｎｅｔ
Everyone: “…”
Thinking of the strength displayed by Amon, they all reluctantly backed off. At this point, they didn’t even bother to keep waiting, as the chances of them having anything left were low enough that it would not be worth the wait. After that, many began to disperse.
“It’s done.”
This was also when all the blood fruits were collected. The battle against the monsters continued for a while until all of the creatures were dead.
Ariel asked, “Amon, are we going to keep feeding the tree?”
“No, let’s go in search of other resources,” Amon said decisively.
The monsters’ blood was dripping onto the floor. Even the monsters with one genetic factor were killed. However, Amon and the girls weren’t sorry after getting so much blood fruit.
11 blood fruits was a very high amount. With just one, they would manage to improve a lot.

A few hours later, Amon and the girls had walked many miles. Some useful things were found along the way. Thanks to the clock system recognition, they were able to find many rare herbs that could be useful in the medicinal bath. If before the blood fruit effect was high, using these herbs would greatly increase the effect.
Amon said suddenly, “We have already found many good things. Let’s search some more and then find a safe place for a medicinal bath.”
Ariel said with a wide smile, “I don’t expect to be able to create a genetic factor so quickly, but at least if we get close to it, we can venture out faster in search of resources. I support Amon’s decision to strengthen himself.”
Barbara swung her flexible sword, then placed it back around her waist. Twisting her body a little with her hands on her hips, she said, “I don’t see a problem, although I think we are strong enough already.”
“No, I’m still weak,” Maisa said, “Barbara, haven’t you noticed that we’re holding Amon back?”
“Err… Well, you’re right.” Barbara thought better of her words and nodded.
She wasn’t the type who liked to think and liked to act instead, but when she tried to apply her mind to thought, even she could understand such things. Barbara’s mind always worked in a practical way, despite being quite smart when she really wanted to be. A good example was the improvement in her grades in high school. After she met Amon and started pushing herself, her grades improved very quickly.
Julia also agreed. She and Maisa weren’t the strongest of the bunch. Only by exerting herself, Julia felt more at ease. The feeling of helplessness was not something that pleased her. Though she trusted Amon’s strength, she wished she could be strong enough for him to depend on her too.
But that feeling was not what it used to be. Julia and Maisa tried hard. Their strength might be far from enough, but they weren’t useless. At least they were able to fight beasts that didn’t reach their first awakening. The fact that they were able to fight beasts that had more than 80 cells filled was a reason to make the twins proud.
Those thoughts aside, Julia continued walking with the rest. When some beasts appeared, she quickly began to cast a spell; Barbara and Maisa did the same.
Ariel was a little different: only if the attack she wanted to use was too advanced would she need to recite spells. This was another advantage she had.
Of course, after the first genetic factor was created, this restriction would no longer be limited. A good example was the way Amon used lightning without having to recite spells.
Half moons made of water rushed towards the beasts at high speed and bloody cuts appeared. Barbara burned some of them with her blue flames, while Ariel used telekinesis on rocks to shoot the beasts. Amon didn’t even need to act, even though it was a group of six beasts. It didn’t take long before the girls managed to kill the beasts and take the cores and put them away.
Ariel said with a seductive smile, “I think with this amount of beast colors we have enough for us to come in first~!”
