The large black eagle … well, let's call it the Green-scaled Black Eagle for now. It used its sharp green claws and wings to launch a Mana Bullet counterattack with astonishing momentum.
However, the Spiritual Ability users used high-speed dodging techniques and protective barriers to avoid or block the attacks. They also maintained their attacks while simultaneously taking care of their companions. They were both attacking and defending with great teamwork.
Even though the Green-scaled Black Hawk left the ground and attacked from the air, the situation did not change.
From Seiji's point of view, unless it transformed or something, it was only a matter of time before it was defeated.
In that case, if Seiji wanted to obtain the silver fruit, he would have to face off against the three fully armed Spiritual Ability users.
Kill and rob?
Was he finally going to follow the classic plot of a fantasy Xianxia novel?
Come, shout 'My name is Ao Tian, I will defy the heavens in this life'!
How could there be so many "heavens" to play with? They were all arrogant and rebellious. Seiji mocked himself.
He didn't want to do it.
He really wanted the silver fruit, but he wouldn't go so far as to kill someone for it. Moreover, he wasn't even sure if he could defeat those three.
Seiji continued to observe quietly.
As the damage it sustained increased, the Green-scaled Black Eagle seemed to have gone berserk. It swooped down repeatedly, unleashing a barrage of bullets and waving its sharp claws!
The Spiritual Ability users were rather disheveled from the ferocious attacks. However, they managed to maintain their calm. Not only were they not scared off, they even used their melee weapons to fight back!
The site was destroyed, and the surrounding buildings and plants were destroyed. Broken flowers and grass flew everywhere. Only the stray bullets that flew toward the big trees were blocked by the faint black fog.
In the end, the Green Scaled Black Eagle was shot down again. It miserably fell to the ground and let out a low howl filled with unwillingness. It suddenly turned around and flew away, never to return.
One of the Spiritual Ability users remained vigilant while the other two approached the tree.
The black mist appeared and blocked their path.
One of them took out something that looked like a landmine from his backpack and placed it on the ground.
With a bang, the "landmine" exploded with radiance! Then, a large cloud of black fog appeared around the trees and quickly dissipated.
The two of them walked closer to the tree and began to pick the fruits.
Seiji continued to observe until they finished picking the silver fruits and left.
Then, he turned around and walked back to his starting point according to the map he had memorized.
Next, he tried to find a shorter route.
Back and forth, back and forth … He spent quite some time going back and forth between the tree and the starting point.
After confirming the fastest route and memorizing it, Seiji got ready and loaded!
Darkness enveloped him, and then light.
Seiji returned to the starting point when he had just entered the Spiritual World.
He immediately started running, moving forward at high speed according to the route he remembered!
He tried his best to avoid the creatures he encountered on the way, and if he couldn't avoid them, he dealt with them quickly.
"This feels a bit like playing a game."
In his previous life, there was a series of dark action games that were known for their difficulty. One of the fastest ways to clear the game was "parkour", which was to control the character to run and avoid all the enemy monsters, only killing the necessary monsters and bosses.
What Seiji was doing right now was similar to that.
He needed to reach the Black Leaf Tree as soon as possible, defeat the Green-scaled Black Eagle, and snatch the silver fruit first!
This could be considered a treasure hunt, but there was no need to fight with others. All they had to do was race against time.
The best case scenario was that the eagle was not there when they arrived. All they had to do was break the black fog boundary of the tree, grab the fruit, and slip away.
However, reality was cruel.
The Green-scaled Black Eagle was lying in front of the tree, acting as its guardian.
Seiji didn't stop running. He cast the [Evolved Body-strengthening technique] and transformed into a Super Saiyan … whoops, he transformed into his golden form and charged!
The eagle noticed him and swung its claws.
Seiji jumped up to avoid this claw and swung his sword with all his might …
[Ice Calamity Blade]!
* Shing!! * The wooden sword viciously slashed the eagle's body with the power of ice. Many spiritual blades materialized out of thin air and stabbed into the eagle's body, instantly dealing a serious injury.
The Green-scaled Black Eagle howled in pain and furiously swung its claws.
Seiji was unable to dodge in time and was sent flying. He adjusted his posture in midair and landed on the ground. He then raised his hand and locked onto his target …
[Ice Imprisonment]!
The eagle's body instantly froze, as if it had become a statue.
Seiji then created a ball of energy and shot out an extra-large …
[Evolved Mana Bullet]!
* Boom!! *
The gigantic Mana Bullet left a golden trail in the air and struck the eagle's head, exploding with a dazzling light.
The eagle was stunned by the explosion. If it was depicted in a manga, it would have its eyes turning into mosquito coils and stars spinning above its head.
Seiji charged again and jumped onto the eagle's back, fiercely swinging his wooden sword to deal damage. Finally, he turned around and slashed at the eagle for the second time with an [Ice Calamity Blade]!
"Squawk!!!"
The Green-scaled Black Eagle screeched in fear after being continuously injured.
It furiously swung its claws to force Seiji back, then turned around and fled. It spread its wings and flew into the sky, escaping.
'Beautiful!'
Seiji praised himself for not expecting that the fight would go so smoothly.
Next up was the black mist barrier.
He didn't have the same items as the other Spiritual Ability users, so he could only rely on brute force to break through the barrier.
Chop chop chop chop chop … dispel!
Finally, he climbed up the tree and plucked the silver fruits. He didn't want anything else.
His harvest was far greater than he had expected! He had basically filled his backpack.
'Done. Time to pack up!'
Seiji swiftly left the scene.
Afterwards, the three fully armed Spiritual Ability users arrived at this place. They saw that the only thing left of the tree were the red fruits …
Seiji left the Spirit World and returned home with his heavy backpack. He truly felt the bliss of returning home with a full load of fruits.
"Brother …" Little Shi walked over to greet him.
"I'm back. Could it be that you've been waiting for me all this time? "
Little Shi nodded.
Seiji felt a warmth in his heart as he reached out and patted his adopted younger sister's head.
"Look, this is my harvest." He showed her the silver fruits in his backpack. "I never expected that I'd be able to find something good on my first trip … I guess this counts as newbie luck."
"Brother, you're amazing," Little Shi sincerely praised him.
Seiji suddenly had the urge to shout, "I'm the Child of Destiny!", in response to his adopted younger sister's praise.
'Calm down, don't get too excited.'
Still, he never expected that he would be able to obtain so many silver fruits in one go!
Would such a large number of silver fruits be able to increase his Mana and Spiritual Power to the point where he could cultivate [Yin-Yang Seal]?
He hoped so. 'Let's try eating one right now … wait a moment, is there anything special about eating this fruit?'
This was a precious resource, after all. For safety's sake, Seiji immediately contacted Hana to ask her about it.
"What are you doing in the middle of the night?"
"I found some silver fruits and wanted to ask how I should eat them."
"Huh?" The cat-eared hat girl was stunned for a moment.
She was astonished after hearing Seiji's explanation.
"You're going to a Spirit World right now … didn't you say that you needed to think about where to go?"
"Yeah, I thought about it, and then I went."
"Don't make it sound like you're going to a discount store! That's a Spirit World!! "
"I seriously prepared myself."
"What kind of preparation can you possibly make!? Tell me first, bastard!! "
"Could it be that you want to prepare some equipment for me?"
"Yeah, idiot! You don't even have a proper weapon, yet you dare to go to a Spirit World! Just how stupid are you!? "
"I have a wooden sword in my kasaya …"
"What's the use of a wooden sword!!" Hana forcefully retorted.
"Don't say that, it's quite useful. I used it to defeat a Spirit World creature that was as large as a house," Seiji said proudly.
"Using a wooden sword to fight against such a monster, you idiot!!!"
Hana's retorts were so loud that they almost broke the speaker.
She didn't expect that Seiji was such an unimaginable idiot.
Using a wooden sword as a weapon to go to a Spirit World? That was an extraordinary level of idiocy!
Yet, Seiji returned alive.
Not only did he return alive, he didn't seem to be injured at all, and he even brought back precious resources … Was this the so-called "fortune favors idiots?"
That couldn't be!!
