Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

Chapter 48: The Fruits of Earth And Moons

Lisa was beautiful in every way, even the freckles on her face just helped her look even more enticing!

She belonged to one of the four most powerful magicians families.

She was also head over heel for himself!

What was there to hesitate about?

His dreams?

Can’t he achieve them with women by his side?

He was about to come to a conclusion when suddenly a voice sounded in his ears.

“Ahem!” John cleared his throat, intentionally making a loud noise while doing so.

His voice worked wonder and snapped Elliot and Lisa back to reality.

“Okay, break up both of you,” Theo added, wondering how long they are going to remain in that embarrassing spot.

Elliot coughed in second-hand embarrassment and stepped away from Lisa. He began bashing himself in his head for falling to the temptation of a woman, although it was only for a few moments. Well, he wasn’t to blame. He was a teenager and full of hormones, after all. It was all Lisa’s fault. She has been throwing herself at him since the start of his academic life. It was natural that his wolfish instincts got aroused. And for him to feel the need to eat Lisa from her lovely feet, slender legs, to her small, petite hands, and her little red lips.

Lisa, on the other hand, smiled as she watched his back, feeling as if she only needed to put a bit more work on making Elliot like her before their relationship can officially start!

“Guys, chop off the rogue magicians’ heads and store them in your spatial storage devices,” Elliot told them to get their heads as they will need it when turning in the mission.

“Okay, I understand.”

“Alright,”

“Let’s do it,”

Theo, John, and Lisa nodded their heads, indicating that they will do as he says.

They got to work, and it took several minutes for them to collect the head of every rogue magician and store them in their spatial storage device.

“Let’s go back and turn in the mission!” John said after a moment.

“Finally, I can go back and clean the filth off my body,” Lisa said under her breath with an expression of relief on her face.

Theo nodded, turning around to leave with John and Lisa.

“Not so fast,” Elliot suddenly said, stopping Theo, John, and Lisa from going away from the wonderful woodland’s clearing.

“Hmm, what’s wrong?” Theo Rose asked.

Lisa Charlotte and John Crimson also turned to look at him, wondering why he doesn’t want to leave this place.

“See for yourselves,” Elliot said to them as he walked up to the body of a rogue magician in the middle of the clearing and moved it a few meters away.

Once the corpse of the criminal was out of the way, Elliot pushed several stalks of grass to each side, revealing four mystical natural treasures.

There were four brown fruits with silver patterns protruding out of the ground. The fruits produced a vivid scent, wafting off to them, entering their nostrils and making them feel nourished.

“The Fruits of Earth and Moons!” Theo Rose said as his eyes opened wide in surprise and happiness.

“What is that?” John asked, wondering what’s so special about these fruits that shocked Theo to his core.

Lisa also hasn’t come across such fruits in her life, and she the same question haunting her mind.

As soon as Elliot heard John’s words, his lips stretched back into a smile and he said in a somewhat hyped voice, “These fruits are nourished by the vitality of the planet and the moonlights cascading down from the twin moons of Xavier. The three types of medicinal essence are in harmony inside of it. A single fruit contains enough medicinal essence to increase the maximum magic energy capacity of a magician by ten units. So to say, we can advance to the next level simply by eating a single one of these fruits!”

As John and Lisa heard his words, they realized that these fruits were absolutely the greatest treasure for magicians, especially those in the magical realm.

“Let’s try to take them out,” Lisa said, wanting to pull the fruits out of the ground.

“Don’t do that,” Theo said in a hurry, stopping her from taking action.

“Why?” Lisa said as she turned around to look at Theo.

“These fruits will lose their value if we force them out of the ground,” Theo said, telling Lisa that forcing them out of the ground will do them no good.

“Huh?” Lisa was taken aback by his words.

“What do you mean?” John asked, wondering why the fruits will lose their value if they force them out of the ground.

“The fruits will lose all of their medicinal essences if we force them out of the ground before they are fully riped,” Theo said, telling them about the adverse consequence of forcing them out of the good.

“Then, when will they ripe?” John asked as he looked at Theo.

Theo Rose shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”

Just at that very moment, Elliot’s voice sounded from his side.

“They only need to bathe in the moonlight one last time, and then they will ripe.”

Everyone turned to look at Elliot with an expression of skepticism and bewilderment. How does he know that? Maybe he learned about magic herbs and other stuff in high school?

“So, do we wait here?” Theo asked while looking at Elliot, John, and Lisa.

“Yes, indeed,” Elliot said, calmly sitting near the twelve fruits.

John and Lisa also decided to stay with them and return to the academy together with each other.

“But what about the rewards for being the first ten to clear a mission?” John asked, worried that someone else’s group will complete the missions before them and obtain the rewards from the academy for being the first ten missions clearer.

“The fruits of the Earth and the Moons are too precious for us to miss out on them,” Lisa replied, afraid that someone like a wanderer or a monster would come to take these fruits if they left this spot.

“But still–“

“Don’t fret about it too much. The only way to complete a mission within days is to take a monster or criminal subjugation mission. Yet, not every group is as strong as ours. Add the fact that not everyone has John with them, then what do you get?” Elliot said, referring to John in the third person.

“There’s no way they would be able to complete a subjugation mission within a day,” Theo said.

They were able to complete this subjugation mission in a day because of John’s unique magic matrix. Without his magic matrix, it would have taken them a lot of time to search for the rogue magicians. So, since others didn’t have John, Elliot and Theo believe that they won’t be able to complete a mission in a day or two.

“Okay, so let’s wait for the fruits to ripe,” Lisa said, sitting beside Elliot.

John also went to a clean spot and sat down on the grassy ground.

“Elliot, I’m feeling a bit sleepy. So, can I please rest my head on your shoulder?” Lisa asked, inching a bit closer to the young and handsome man.

Before Elliot could even give his reply to Lisa, roars of beasts boomed out from the areas surrounding the clearing.

AWOOOOOOO

AWOOOOOOO
