Chapter 233 233: Nuvoria: The Magical Forest And The Toxic Spider
“By the way, there are three predominant intelligent races in Nuvoria,” Mabel explained to the girls and Amon as they waited in line.
“First, there’s the Nephilians: humanoid beings with blue skin and deep black eyes, with white and smooth hair. They have telepathic abilities and possess exceptional intelligence. In addition, they have wings that allow them to fly at high altitudes. Their culture is highly advanced and focused on knowledge and exploration of the universe. They live in floating cities in the sky, which are powered by clean and renewable energy sources.
“Secondly, the Ekrins: humanoid beings with pale, shiny skin and silver hair. They have large dark eyes without pupils, which allow them to see perfectly in the dark. They possess healing and regenerative abilities and are known for being peaceful and compassionate. They live in communities in the forest, where they have developed skills for connecting with nature and wildlife. They are skilled in crafting and creating objects, using natural and sustainable materials.
“Finally, there’s the Tharians: humanoid beings with golden skin and bright green eyes. They have exceptional physical strength and advanced regenerative abilities. In addition, they have a special connection with the earth and are able to control natural elements such as stones and trees. Their culture is highly tribal, and they have a close relationship with nature. They live in communities in the mountains, where they have developed advanced mining and forging techniques, using metals and precious stones to create objects and tools.”
Julia quickly accessed the information on her digital watch and shared what it said, “According to the data, Tharians are generally not hostile to outsiders, but they are extremely protective of nature and become very aggressive when it is harmed.”
Mabel agreed with the information and added that the Tharians have a great appreciation for nature, so it was important to respect their ecosystem and avoid actions that may harm it. As long as outsiders did not cause harm to the planet’s environment, Tharians tended to be hospitable and welcoming.
“It’s our turn,” Barbara suddenly said.
“Ohh!”
Distracted by their conversation, they did not realize it was their turn in the inspection queue. During the analysis, their bodies were thoroughly examined to ensure that they were in good physical health and had no conditions that would impact their journey. This process was essential, because even if they died on a planet they were sent to through the Tower, they would not truly die, but all the items they were carrying would be lost. Therefore, it was important to be in good condition to avoid the risk of dying and losing everything.
After going through the whole process, they stepped into the teleportation circle, marking Planet Nuvoria as their destination. Upon arriving in Nuvoria, Amon and the girls found themselves in a completely new and fascinating place. They walked through a dense forest in Nuvoria, amazed by the tall and exotic trees that seemed to glow with their own light. The fresh, perfumed air was full of wildlife sounds, with colorful birds flying through the trees and small animals running on the forest floor.
As they walked, they felt the forest was almost magical, with the trees emanating a natural energy that seemed to nourish the environment around them, as if everything around them were alive.
Barbara was surprised to notice that some plants in the forest seemed to be moving, wriggling, and changing shape as if they were sentient. She also spotted strange creatures, such as giant butterflies with shimmering wings, bioluminescent insects, and small animals that looked like a mix of squirrel and kangaroo.
As they continued walking, they came across a small stream that ran crystal-clear among the trees. The stream was full of colorful fish that jumped and played in the water.
“I’m a bit thirsty,” said Barbara as she used her digital watch to analyze the water. “According to the analysis, it’s safe to drink.”
“I’m thirsty too,” said Maisa, who was about to use her digital watch to do the same but stopped when she learned that the water was safe to drink.
Amon and the girls approached the stream to drink, feeling the fresh and pure water revitalizing their bodies.
Suddenly, while drinking the fresh water from the stream, a Toxic Arachnoid appeared at the edge of the stream. The creature had a green shell and was known to be dangerous and deadly. Amon and the girls immediately recognized the danger.
The Toxic Arachnoid quickly advanced toward them, throwing venomous webs and creating toxic clouds that affected their breathing. Amon and the girls separated.
Mabel warned them seriously, “Be careful!”
The others were already on their guard without her having to warn them. After all, that beast had the genetic power of a Level 1 Innate – almost reaching Level 2.
Suddenly, Amon pointed his left finger in the direction of the spider. His nail shone with a musical note design [Treble Clef] in red tones, while his finger was enveloped in golden color with some red threads.
[Multiple Circuits]!
Without warning, multiple circuits in the form of lightning came out of Amon’s left index finger and hit the spider’s legs and head. The spell was so powerful that the spider was instantly defeated, without even having the chance to counterattack.
The girls were impressed by Amon’s power. “That was amazing, Amon!” they said in unison.
Mabel was in shock. “You were already able to create an elemental genetic rune for the mind…” she said, shaking her head in admiration.
Meanwhile, the defeated giant spider began to wriggle until it curled up into a big ball.
Amon looked at Mabel calmly and said, “I was able to do it recently. It’s the first time I’ve tested it in battle, and it was better than I expected.”
Amon already liked this spell a lot, but he knew there was a problem: it hadn’t merged with his genetic factor. This meant that the activation time was longer, as he needed to recite the spell in an ancient and mystical language. However, by creating the rune with the symbol of the musical note [Treble Clef], the problem of lost time was easily bypassed, making the spell similar to one merged with a genetic factor and, in some ways, even more powerful.
Mabel nodded, remembering the times when Amon had used the spell behind this rune in the secret kingdom. She noticed that this time the conjuring was more fluid and natural than before, showing the great advantage of turning this spell into an elemental genetic rune for the mind. It was evident that it was a wise choice on his part to use this spell when creating a rune.
Although she didn’t know the reason behind Amon’s choice of the symbol of the musical note [Treble Clef], Mabel recognized that each person had their own peculiarities. Knowing that Amon was very good at playing the piano, she supposed that this may have influenced his choice of symbol.
Amon approached the giant spider and carefully dug out the genetic core. In the process, he used his lightning control ability to wrap his hand and avoid any direct contact with the lethal venom of the creature. be𝚍no𝚟𝚎l.𝚌𝚘m
The value of a genetic core varied depending on its rarity, quality, and usefulness. They were usually used to improve or create genetic items such as weapons, armor, or amulets. They could also be used to heal or increase an individual’s strength and endurance. Some genetic cores had specific properties, such as the ability to control an element or grant unique abilities. As a result, they could be very valuable on the black market or in specialized genetic item shops.
The university itself bought magical cores in exchange for credits. If Amon didn’t find any use in using this genetic core, he could very well exchange it for credits and split the profits with the girls.
“Just with this, the trip was worth it,” Mabel murmured softly, referring specifically to the elemental genetic core of poison that Amon had just obtained from the giant spider.
