There was a catch, though.The statue’s mouth will open wide if a person grabs three of its seven overextended strands of snake-like hair and pull them down at the same time.Finn did just that, creating three golden hands that stretched out of his back, grabbed Medusa’s hair strands, and pulled them down.“Clank!”Immediately after, her mouth opened up wide enough for her jaw to drop to touch the ground.He walked up to her front once again. Then, what he saw caused his eyes to widen in surprise!“Is this some sort of secret passageway?”The shape of her mouth now replicated the entrance to a cave.It was wide and long, enough for him to go inside without crouching.He went inside. Immediately, he met face to face with silence and darkness. The loud rumbles in the forest no longer reached his ears, and only darkness entered his field of vision.“So this place is cut off from the outside world. I guess it’s truly a safe zone. I can pass the dangers of the night by resting here.”Of co

Finn breathed raggedly; his heart throbbed in excitement, but his body quivered in pain each time he did so. Heck, even his hair was wet as if he had just taken a shower, and he was sweating profusely from every part of his body. Not a single spot on his body was left untouched by the pain he just experienced. From the twitching of his veins to the lungs that squeezed tightly to suck in oxygen, each part of his body showed traces of the torture he had to endure to advance to a realm never heard of before in the magician community.Worst of all, he felt a golden line of lava stretching from the center of his right palm to the top of his shoulder of the very hand he uses to do a lot of things.Feeling so much heat in his arm was painful, nearly unbearable, but knowing that the reason for that pain is what allows him to store 1100 units of energy in his body and emit energy as well made him happy.Finn’s eyes opened into narrow slits, revealing glints of joy. In this world, the maximum e

Has it gotten so old that its senses had started to dull?Or was it too pleased after hunting and devouring a prey for the first time in a hundred years that it forgot to stay alert?Right after, the tree caught the blue speck that was floating towards it ever so gently in its sight.“Huh, what is that?”At first, it felt apprehensive, but after a moment, calm returned to it as it realized that it was merely a harmless speck of light; that’s what its senses told it.“What a joke!”It nearly laughed seeing the speck of blue light.How could someone even begin to imagine that something so little would be able to harm something as sturdy and thick as him? The nightmare tree tagged Finn as a mentally handicapped person‘His intelligence is lacking,’ it thought as its mouth changed into a human-like smirk.Though, it must admit that he was far cautious than the person before who came charging at it, only to get all of her bones crushed by it.Anyway, its guard lowered as it thought that hi

A hand stretched out of his back, charged towards the falling treasure box, grabbed it, and brought it back to him. After which, he stored it in his subspace. He hadn’t given it much attention because he was busy finding the mandrake.[-20 units of the essence of life]Finn’s several units of his essence of life disappeared as controlling and levitating his fingers came with a price, one he happily paid.“What monster has I offended? Why does he appear so weak but hold such great strength? How can a being even create something great enough to overturn the land! Overturn the land! Overturn the land; that’s a power which should only belong to god!” In the field of bushes facing the ground, the mandrake scowled wordlessly, finding it difficult to hold on to the ground.Although it had stuck its six legs inside of the upside ground, their grip wasn’t strong, and they were slipping out inch by inch because it was hanging upside down.The very next moment, to its dismay, the gigantic finger

The horrifying Mandrake looked calm as it believed that it had evaded certain death.They were now bound to the rules of the contract, and breaking them would result in their death.Five years later, Finn needed to release him if he didn’t want to suffer a backlash from the magic contract and die; that’s what the memories of the girl it devoured told the Mandrake, causing it to smirk. However, its expression fell almost immediately. For five years, it needed to serve him obediently. That is something it would reluctantly do as it wanted to live, sigh!“Of course,” Finn replied to Hope in his mind.[-50 units of the essence of life][Congratulations! You’ve broken free from the rules of the contract]Of course, it wasn’t aware that the rules no longer had any effect on Finn.It was a one-sided trade from the very start, and it fell from the devil’s whispers, the devil being Finn.The devil stored the contract in his subspace before looking at it and saying, “Tell me everything you know
