Cycle Of Nirvana - Chapter 124

“Icnamro, I’ve just woken up, so it would be better if we didn’t fight either. Besides, I have an important matter to discuss with the tribal leader. So…” Asil tried to reject Icnamro, who was tugging at him, without offending her.

“Hmm… Okay, then there’s nothing to do. We’ll fight later. Now that you’re awake, I’ll go help my mom. See you later.” Icnamro spoke with a displeased expression and then walked away from there with slow steps.

After she left, Asil turned to the tribal leader Lewir: “Senior Lewir, there is something I want to talk to you about, can we go somewhere where we will be alone?”

Looking at Asil’s sudden question, Lewir put on a sad expression as if he understood what he was going to say. He signaled with his head to Asil to follow him.

After a minute’s walk, Lewir and Asil entered one hut. Lewir pointed to the chair for Asil to sit down, and before Asil had a chance to say anything more, he said: “So, when are you leaving?”

Asil smiled faintly and,  while looking intently at Lewir, said: “Since you understand my intentions, I don’t need to explain. I have been here for almost a month now and I have a tournament to attend in the future. Therefore, I want to get to where I want to go as soon as possible and improve myself. So…”

Lewir got up suddenly and walked over to a chest of drawers inside the cabin and slowly opened it. As soon as he opened the drawer, different smells spread inside the hut. Lewir slowly reached into the drawer and pulled out a small box, then came to Asil and handed it to him.

Asil inspected the box with his eyes, but could not understand what was inside, and succumbed to the temptation to open the box, and took the small box from Lewir’s hand.

Asil opened the box slowly, and when he saw what was inside, he looked up at Lewir with a confused expression: “Senior Lewir, I cannot accept this. These are very valuable.”

Lewir shook his head with a smile: “Asil, I also know that they are valuable. But no matter how valuable the items are, they are not worth the lives of the comrades of my tribe. You’re not one of our tribe. So there was no need for you to help us during that ominous event. Despite this, you helped us by risking your own life. I wanted to give you not only these but also much more valuable things. However, as the tribal leader, I need to think about the troubles my tribe may face in the future. So these are the only things I can do.”

Although Lewir spoke with an embarrassed expression and stated that he thought that the things he gave would not pay for the good that Asil did, Asil certainly did not think so. He had made the decision to help the tribe of his own free will. In doing so, he never expected anything in return. In fact, just like Lewir, he even thought that what he had done would not be enough to repay the tribe’s favor by saving his own life and then strengthening his body. But despite this thought of his at the moment, Lewir had given him this box without any hesitation.

There were three different things in the box. The first of these was the Amara Amratruk Ball! This ball was originally made from the rind of the fruit of a flower called Amara Amratruk. The feature of this ball, made from the shell of the fruit of this flower, which produces only one fruit in ten years, is that it shines with different colors when near valuable objects, even if they are hidden, and gives its owner a chance to obtain a valuable object! Although the power of the ball was not unlimited, and even if it was not used, it lost all its power in just a year, it was an undeniable fact that it was a valuable item. And among the things that were in the box, the Amara Amratruk Ball was only the third in terms of value!

The second most valuable object inside the box was a Spatial Ring. However, the color of this Spatial Ring  was not white, but green, just like the one that the Burning Meteor Sect Young Master had when Asil was in Star Plain! This was the Green Spatial Ring that had ten times more storage capacity than the ring on Asil’s finger! The price of this ring was exactly four times the annual income of the Mirza Clan! Such a ring was found in the children of wealthy families or in high-ranking members. And in order to get such a ring, numerous assassination attempts were carried out every year. Lewir had given him such a valuable thing without hesitation, and on top of that, he said that it was insufficient for Asil’s help.

Asil wanted to look at Lewir with grateful eyes and thank him as soon as possible. But the third thing inside the box was causing him to delay that thought. If the contents of the box were given points based on their value, and the least valued Amara Amratruk Ball among them in this scoring was one, then the Green Spatial Ring would receive four points, while the third item would receive exactly ten points!

The third thing in the box was a small yellow pill. This pill, which didn’t even have a smell, had black markings on it, and other than that, it looked completely normal. But Asil knew how valuable this pill was, thanks to the Eight Colored Lily of Solitude. This pill was a pill called the Natural Profound Ascension Pill, and this pill, which required high medical skill to produce, had such an enormous energy-boosting ability that when used, it could level up even someone from the Natural Profound Realm! What would this pill that could level up even someone from the Natural Profound Realm do to someone like Asil at the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm? It was incredibly exciting for Asil to even think about it!

Asil slowly pulled his eyes from the box, looked at Lewir, and opened his mouth to speak. However, just as he was about to speak, Lewir’s voice was heard saying: “Don’t say such ridiculous things as I won’t accept. I don’t want to say over and over again that you fully deserve this.” Lewir sighed: “So when are you going to leave? Tomorrow morning?”

Asil took a deep breath and shook his head slightly: “Senior Lewir, I don’t plan on waiting until tomorrow. I’ll go now.”

“I see. Then you’d better leave before Icnamro and the others see you. Otherwise, you will have to wait for those who want to say goodbye to you for a long time.” After Lewir gave advice, he learned where Asil was going. He gave him a map and described the way to go.

After Asil expressed his gratitude once again, he thought although it would be rude to leave without meeting Icnamro and the others, it was the right thing to do and left there. He began to move in the direction Lewir had described. After proceeding for about five minutes, he paused and looked at the box, which he still held in his hand. He could not carry such a valuable box in his hands all the time. But he didn’t want to put the contents of the box in his own ring because of what was inside his ring before.

After some hesitation, Asil slowly brought his hand to his own White Spatial Ring and touched it to look at the strange Profound Beast inside. However, as soon as he touched it, a cracking sound was heard before Asil could even examine the Profound Beast inside him. After this cracking sound, the Spatial Ring began to fill with cracks, and in the blink of an eye, the ring completely disintegrated!

Asil looked in shock at his finger, then at the strange Profound Beast protruding from his broken ring. When this strange Profound Beast of the unknown type last entered the ring, it was slightly longer than a human’s index finger, but now it was twice the size of an index finger. But it had no features different from the previous one, except for the growth of its size. Even the tired and sleepy expression on its face was exactly the same as before!

The Strange Profound Beast slightly lifted its head and looked at Asil with half-closed eyes, slightly opening its mouth and yawning, then lowering its head again.

Asil didn’t know what to do as he stared at it. He couldn’t blame it for the destruction of the dimensional ring or its contents, for allowing it to remain in the Spatial Ring. But even so, he couldn’t help feeling sorry for losing so much.

Since Asil was definitely not considering the idea of ​​putting this strange Profound Beast back in a Spatial Ring any longer, he considered carrying it with him and putting his belongings inside the ring Lewir had given him. Therefore, he crouched down and took the Green Spatial Ring from the box in his hand, and then placed the box on the ground.

He quickly cut off his finger and dripped his blood onto the Green Spatial Ring, thus taking possession of it. Then he slowly bent his head towards the place where the box was, to put the contents of the box in the ring. However, the moment he looked at the place where the box was, his eyes widened and he cried out involuntarily and hastily:

“Aaaa!”

Asil quickly reached for the box, took it in his hand, and looked inside. But when he looked inside, he realized, terribly, that what he feared had happened to him. Angrily, he turned his gaze towards the strange Profound Beast, which was located next to where the box had just been.

When the Strange Profound Beast sensed that it was being looked at, it slightly lifted its head and looked at Asil. Its mouth made a slight arch as it made a burping sound!

In the face of what it did, Asil stared blankly at it for a short while: “… How can you eat so much without really caring about what it is? First, you ate my coins, my energy stones, my weapons, and not only that, you even weren’t content with that and ate the Natural Profound Core too. While I was thinking that you would be limited to this, my White Spatial Ring shattered as its energy ran out. Despite all this, when I was going to say it was all my fault, you just ate the Natural Profound Ascension Pill too?”

Asil clenched his fist, suppressing his anger, and then let out a deep sigh. After calming himself and clearing his mind, he reached out and lifted the strange Profound Beast and placed it in his suit pocket.

“Even though this time was a great loss, since I said I would be your friend and protect you, I will do so to the end. After all, I wasn’t supposed to leave something valuable like the Natural Profound Ascension Pill there. Besides, you don’t even know what it is. This is completely my fault. There is nothing to do.” Asil took a deep breath. “Now it’s time to head to the Rezuba Martial School. Let’s see what kind of place it is?”

Asil overcame the great shock he had just experienced and, since he thought it was his fault, without saying a word to the strange Profound Beast, he started to walk towards the Rezuba Martial School, taking it with him. But there was one thing that he did not notice at that moment…

When Asil said, ‘Besides, you don’t even know what it is’, he was completely unaware that the strange Profound Beast was smiling for a moment as if it was enjoying itself!
