Part Four, Chapter Nine: Asura Lyona Always Gets Beat Up. Is It Destiny? Or Is It Just Because of My Personality?

“Ah...guh...”

Asura was held aloft in the air, her arms tied up by plants. Her claymore lay on the ground, surrounded by a vast amount of destroyed roots. On her own, she’d managed to fight off Alraune’s attempts to grab her, but there were simply too many. In the end, a few broke through her defenses, and that was how she ended up in her current situation. She’d sustained a fair amount of damage during the fight, and her entire body hurt to the point that she couldn’t even tell where her injuries were.

“Now...become food,” Alraune said. Its expression remained completely blank. It dragged Asura before its eyes using its roots.

“I’m the type of person who always keeps my promises,” Asura said with a quiet chuckle. “More importantly, I have a question: why do you know about humans?” Alraune didn’t reply, but there was a chance that it didn’t understand what Asura was asking. “Have you eaten people in the past?”

Officially, this was unmapped territory that no one had set foot in. Judging by that logic, Asura and the rest of Moon Blossom should’ve been the first people the monsters here saw. And yet, Alraune saw them and clearly identified what they were.

“Turned people...to food... Adventurers...explorers...investigators... I tell them secret. Then turn to food.”

“I see. So we weren’t the first.”

Many people romanticized the Great Forest into a challenge to conquer, so an unofficial team must have gotten this far. But since they never made it back, the area remained unmapped. Their adventure ended in Alraune’s gullet.

“Do you...want to know secret?”

“Sounds good. Let’s hear it. It’ll serve as a nice bedtime story before you kill me.”

“Do you know...why I know words?”

“How should I know that? Did a human that you ate in the past teach you?”

Alraune made a confused sound before it continued, “They...taught humans speech. Alraune...asked them.”

“Hmm. So the first being to invent words was also the one to teach you how to speak? You must’ve been around for a long time. I guess that makes sense considering you’re a plant.”

“I told you secret... Become food.”

The flower that formed Alraune’s bottom half opened up its massive maw. It was lined with sharp, jagged teeth, and the moment it opened its mouth, a slightly sweet scent wafted through the air.

“I see. So that’s your true body, and the upper humanlike half serves as a disguise, or maybe bait? I’ll tell you a secret of mine as well, so hold on a second.”

“Secret? Want to know...” Alraune’s mouth remained open.

“You’re not a peak-tier monster. I’d say you’re probably in the middle of the spectrum for a high-tier monster. There’s a terribly unsettling air about you, but I assume that’s due to your pollen. I’m guessing that there’s a component in it that can cause anxiety in your prey. It must be a form of self-defense to make yourself seem like a stronger monster.”

Alraune didn’t reply.
