Levin Cloud and Mariposa headed south of Neo Alfheim as that is the location where infant beasts reside. That location is the prime area because it is near a watering hole. Monsters that tend to theie young often find locations with accessible food and water.
The first one that they found is a leopard like monster called the Jungle Cat. It is a monster that relies mostly on its speed, but it is also extremely flexible inside the jungle. It would have been perfect if the soul color was not white.
Mariposa might not have the same ability that can see soul like Adrian, but she does have the same instinct as that of insects. She can distinguish special individuals through the pheromones that they released.
Mariposa uses the pheromones released by other monsters as a way of distinguishing them. White soul monsters have normal pheromones that does not make her instincts tingle.
Silver soul monsters have an air of danger to them that makes one wary. Gold Monsters are basically almost royalty of the species. Her Queen Bee soulbound is considered one.
Above golden soul monsters are basically the rarest of the bunch and they are often unique monsters. Some summoners often have at least one of them, but she knows one that have multiple. The moment she saw all of Adrian's soulbounds is the day her instincts went wild.
She wanted to question Adrian about his soulbounds on how he got them, but she held herself back. Each player has their secrets and Adrian will not tell her anyway even if she asks him. It seems that Adrian would have come if he did not have trouble in his territory as well.
In fact, it is not only them that are having territory problems. All of the territories in the world are having multiple problems because of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. It is even rumored that a world council has already been trying to form because of the sudden world problems.
"All the monsters here are not even powerful enough. We need something that could at least be a monarch." Mariposa stated as they searched for the monsters.
She already released her bee swarm to make sure that the search would be effective. She thought that they will see numerous small beasts immediately, but the effect of the monster waves must have affected them as well. The small beasts are all in hiding and would still be in hiding until the last monster wave.
Just as the two thought that their search would be for naught, a small beast suddenly dropped down on Levin Cloud's shoulders. It was an unexpected small animal that looked like a cross between a bear and a monkey. What is even more important is that it is cute but something within Mariposa made it shudder.
If Adrian is there, then he would have said that the monster that dropped on Levin Cloud's shoulder is a monster with a golden soul. It has the qualities of a king as the soul it has is shining gold. What is even more interesting is the fact that it is not scared of the monster waves.
"That is the one!" Mariposa reacted.
"This cute little guy?" Levin Cloud stated with a questioning look as he does not believe that something that cute will be powerful.
"It might look cute, but I can feel it has great strength. Why is it even getting close to you despite it being a monster?" Mariposa stated.
"I have a title called Friend of the Forest that lets small forest critters be friendly towards me as long as I am not hostile. It is also the reason why some of the beasts we encountered did not immediately attack us." Levin Cloud revealed as he only got that title when he spent time with cute animals in Alfheim.
"I see. It must also be due to the fact that you are a Leshy. They are not called the Guardian of the Forests for nothing after all. It basically assures you safe passage in any forest as long as you are not hostile." Mariposa replied as she is a bit jealous of that title.
Her race is also getting less hostile but there are many beings in the forest that treat them as prey. She then gestured for Levin Cloud to coerce the small beast that came to him to become the Tree Guardian for the Tree of Life.
"Do you want to become strong young one?" Levin Cloud asked but the small beast shook its head as it perfectly understood what he meant. This also shocked Mariposa because she did not hear the audible sentence that Levin Cloud just said. As if his speech automatically became translated to another language.
"You do not want to become strong? If you do not want to become strong, then do you want your belly to be filled every day with the best berries? That beautiful elder sister over there has an orchard full of delicious fruits." Levin Cloud stated as he knew that Neo Alfheim is exporting its fruits and vegetables for extra income.
Upon learning that the small beast could always be full and no longer starve, it immediately agreed with cute little eyes. It even started to do a call that attracted four more individuals like it, but their hair color was grayer than its golden almond fur. It is definitely a rare species that is different from its other comrades.
Monster Name: King Moss Kinkajou
Stage: Infant
Level: 50
Health: 100%
Mana: 100%
Description: A special species of the Moss Kinkajou that is said to only be born everyone hundred years. It is a gentle species, but it is extremely vicious when it needs to be. It has the special ability to grow moss that can create hallucinations. It can also grow other types of moss that have different effects. It is currently in its infant stage and will need to grow up to become powerful.
Just as the two were about to go back to Neo Alfheim, a horde of monsters suddenly surrounded them. Twenty Forest Jaguars suddenly surrounded them which made the Moss Kinkajous shudder in fear as they are considered as prey by these monsters.
"Can you also talk to them?" Mariposa asked.
"Not really. When the instincts of hunger kicks in, any predatory monster will not listen to my calls or pleas. We have no choice but to guard the little ones." Levin Cloud replied as he immediately activated Sanctuary as two Forest Jaguars suddenly jumped towards him as the Moss Kinkajous are with him.
"I will handle this then." Mariposa stated as she commanded her bee soulbound and mantis soulbound to kill all the Forest Jaguars.
The Forest Jaguars may be extremely hungry as they are driven by instinct, but their hunter characteristics did not get dull. When they immediately assessed that they could not win a head on collision, they hid in the trees as they are adept at camouflage due to their color resembling the barks of the trees.
The camouflage did not help them though as insects rarely rely on their sense of sight or they have a different variation of sight that helps them see through other disguises. The Forest Jaguars fell one after the other and the Moss Kinkajous looked like they are cheering Mariposa on. They would jump and clap whenever a Forest Jaguar become particles of light.
Levin Cloud suddenly thought that these Moss Kinkajous are no longer cute as they are more devious that they look. If the King Moss Kinkajou was not their intended target, then he might have left it there in fear of a monster that they will create when it becomes stronger.
The appearance of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and their consistent ravaging of the lands have made the various monarchs, lords of leaders of each territory call for a meeting. They plan to hold a summit in ten days in order to make sure that the threat will be neutralized.
They entrusted the message to the Temple of the Messenger God as they are the ones that could easily distribute the messages to other continents. This temple is very strict when it comes to getting followers as they are bound to an oath to never spill the contents of their messages even to their deaths.
The messengers of the Temple of the Messenger God will need to have a mind of stone and an attitude that does not care for others. This is also the reason why the are called the Temple of Insensitivity. They do not care if the message they bring will be good or bad but will only care if they actually bring the message to the proper receiver.
One messenger arrived at Avalon and is currently in the presence of Adrian, who is seated at the lord's chair. The chair might look like an ordinary wooden chair but it was actually made of the pruned branches of the Tree of Life and Death.
