Into The Portal: Monster Invasion

Chapter 285: Meeting with Zall and Xavic Again



Chapter 285: Meeting with Zall and Xavic Again

Miles waited for a few hours until Zall arrived. He looked at the giant of the man with red skin. He was smiling as he was walking through the yard of the stronghold. He wasnt as absent as Miles, thus people had seen him before. All the hunters in the stronghold recognized this invincible man so they smiled back at him.

Zall was a peculiar person. Although his superpower bestowed him an almost impenetrable defense, he was too gentle to hurt anything. He of course knew monsters were enemies of humans, but he would choose more pacific methods to elong them from hurting humans.

After he awakened energy, he formed a Body Seed, and his defense was stronger than ever. When mixed with energy coating his body, even monsters at his tiers couldnt hurt him. Also under Miles's patronage and persuasions, he used Strengthening Serums and already used two of them.

Yo, Zall. Welcome. Miles shouted from where he was sitting. He was in his quarter and was looking at the area to see what he could do with it when he spotted Zall. He was heading there too as that was their meeting place. Normally either Xavic and Zall would wait there for the other, but this time surprisingly Miles was there too.

Miles! Bro, I missed you. Zall smiled brightly as he bear-hugged Miles. Despite his powers, Miles could only passively wait for Zall to end the hug.

Yes, yes. I missed you too. How are things? He asked as he patted Zalls arm as he couldnt reach the shoulder.

All good, all good. We are doing fine, now that Xavic learned how to separate his powers. Zall explained. When awakened energy, Xavic learned the two attributes of his superpower.

It is good. As long as you two are able to hunt, I can be at ease Miles smiled. Although he was aware that signing for the academy would restrict his movements, and he wouldnt be able to come to Portal World as much as before, he never thought school would require so many Merit Points, forcing him to go academys stronghold through the portal, limiting his time in their stronghold further.

Who is this guy? Zall asked and wanted to pet Makwa. But the baby bear hid in Miles's embrace.

Dont be shy, Makwa. Say hi to Uncle Zall. Miles grabbed it from its two small paws and passed it to Zall. Miles didnt answer Makwas origins and waited for Xavic to show up first. He didnt want to explain twice.

Zall was soft-hearted and loved all creatures. Makwa being so cute accelerated that phase, and he started to rub its belly not before long, while Makwa lay there comfortably.

Oh, Xavic comes too, Zall said as he pointed at the entrance. There Miles saw Xavic walking with newfound confidence. After advancing to Form-Rank, Xavic created a Heart Seed and also learned how to separate stunning and healing lightning from each other. His attacks werent containing both now, thus he could stun monsters and kill them without healing them.

Those with the rare form of their elements could learn the most basic abilities of their elemental powers upon advancing the Form-Rank. For example a person with a basic fire elemental superpower could only use fire element upon advancing the Form-Rank, but a person with a healing fire superpower could learn the destructive and healing forms. Because Xavics powers were healing and stunning lightning, now he could also use the most basic form of the lightning element. The pure destruction. That meant, Xavic could use 3 attributes of the lightning element.

Miles! You bastard! He too wanted to bear-hug Miles, but he wasnt as big and strong as Zall, so Miles stopped him and patted on the shoulder.

Where have you been? Asked Xavic with a grievance.

Academy takes too much of my time, and I have to hunt all the time to pay the monthly merit, sadly it prevents me from coming here. But today I found some time. Luckily you guys are here too. Miles said, then explained how the academy was, and how his days were going.

Wow, you must be really busy, Zall said sadly.

Zall, you havent had sex with a bear and have this right? Xavic asked while holding his laughter in his mouth.

Funny, Zall said and laughed. This is Miless pet, Makwa, Zall said, still petting Makwa.

Miles, you tamed a monster? Where did you find a taming orb? Xavic asked with surprise. Taming orbs were too rare. There were only tamed monsters in Unity, so seeing one surprised Xavic. Although Zall was as surprised, he didnt like to ask about personal stuff. Not that Miles minded, after all, he was using an art instead of taming orbs.

Cool, huh? I found this guy after we ended his mother. It was so darn cute, I had to take it with me. Miles said and forcefully took Makwa from Zall and pet him.

Makwa woke up and swung his paws to Miles to show his dissatisfaction, but it looked cuter.

And, you are starting your own forge now? Xavic asked as he focused on another part.

Yeah, this time I came to find you guys for this actually. I need you to buy some of the consumables from Unity. They are too expensive in the Academy. Miles explained.

Sure, we can do that. How about we go and put the orders, and you take them in a week from us? Xavic said as he calculated in his mind.

That would be great. Thanks, guys. Miles said as he reached out Coin to send the list of items he required.

Dont mention it. We are buddies. Zall said.

Xavic nodded and said, Lets go hunting together sometime. I have this move I want to show you.

They left the stronghold through the Dimensional Device once again to meet in a week's time.

Miles couldnt buy the things he needed in the Academy, nor could he order them from the stronghold. There was no direct communication, and he could only order the items through Zall and Xavic.

After Miles returned, he went to speak with the rental forge. As of now, he couldnt create his own forge, although buying one was cheaper in the long run. Without testing his crafts in the academy, and getting trade gap charts, he wouldnt buy the shop.

Miles looked at the data Coin was streaming and looked dejected. I only have one chance. If I blow it, I have to start over again. But I cannot find a monster nest with so many cores again.

We will see. No need to awfulize. It will turn out great. I have all the alloy formulas mother invented. Not many people know them in Unity, and among those who know, not many of them forge Frenzy-Rank crafts.

I am lucky to learn mothers hardworking achievements and I have trust in her abilities. I already tried one of the alloys while forging the arrows. Although because of the limitations, it was the weakest alloy, it could be considered best in Grunt-Rank. Now in the Frenzy-Rank, I will make them shine again.
