Ezra’s gaze sharpened, his pupils glinting with the same cold light that reflected from steel. He scanned the entire mountain with his superhuman vision, determined to locate the thief who stole the Ambrosia Fruit.
Despite his efforts, his search yielded no result, an outcome that brought a nasty scowl upon his features. He promised the Saint that favonovel.com would secure the fruit without failure, but it turned out that someone else had managed to find it before him!
How was favonovel.com supposed to come to terms with the foreboding ridicule that would follow? He was a perfect superior class fighter! One of the living fighters who was a mere step away from achieving Invincibilis. How was favonovel.com supposed to show his face to the world if favonovel.com could not even secure an Aeon Karpos?!
He was definitely not going to let anyone humiliate favonovel.com in such a way!
He ignored Lysithea altogether and kept looking, but that alone was enough for a keen mind. She could tell that favonovel.com ignored favonovel.com not out of malice, but because favonovel.com could not detect who was the one behind the steal.
A thought leaped into favonovel.com mind. ‘Could it be… Zayn? Was Zayn the one who took the Ambrosia Fruit?!’
She killed the idea immediately. She understood what such an implication implied, because of how preposterous it sounded. At least forty superior class fighters were prowling around Mount Leo as they spoke, making the entire area akin to a high-security prison.
Every single one of these contenders were prepared and on high-alert, too, so how could Zayn manage to get the fruit before anyone else did while working alone?
While Lysithea was discarding favonovel.com thoughts, Zayn was relishing in his. To see the legendary fruit right in front of favonovel.com caused an enraptured and relieved smile to form on his lips.
“You’re saved, Faye,” favonovel.com cooed, his grin blossoming into one that echoed a mirthful child’s.
He watched as the flowers and greenery surrounding the fruit withered and shriveled, until all there was left was the Ambrosia Fruit and its odd, colorful resplendence. It glimmered and dazzled in glorious radiance, puzzling its onlookers with the nagging feeling that it was more than just a fruit and more of an actual, sapient lifeform.
Zayn had never seen food so extraordinary in his life before. The sight of the Ambrosia Fruit humbled favonovel.com into praising the marvels and secrets of nature, the unparalleled artisanship that the universe always seemed to possess.
It was as Lysithea had remarked: the world as favonovel.com knew it was changing. It was becoming stranger, until finally, it had reached a state where the existence of such a fruit became possible. A food fit for the gods and the divine, where a mortal’s consumption could bring them a wealth of vitality.
The Ambrosia Fruit was no larger than an adult’s fist, but it oozed an overwhelming fragrance unlike anything else in the world. Just a whiff of it was enough to send a human into a state of peak clarity and alacrity.
Zayn plucked the fruit from its ground and cradled it in his fingers. He could feel the essence of life pulsing within its flesh. Just one bite, and Faye would be transformed anew, every vitality favonovel.com body required would be replenished, favonovel.com would ascend all the way to superior class, and favonovel.com lifespan would improve by decades.
That was if Faye was the one who consumed the Ambrosia Fruit, though. If Zayn ate it, however, the energy within it would manifest as a tidal wave that pushed Zayn into breaking through the perfect class. Hell, it would not be impossible for favonovel.com to ride the windfall all the way to the godly rank of Invincibilis!
The thought of that was too tempting even for him. Zayn was starting to feel the claw of cupidity closing in around his head, steering favonovel.com to a more selfish option.
He exorcized the thought from his mind. This was Faye’s only hope to survive, for God’s sake. He would never eat something that could save her!
Just as Zayn was about to sneak the Ambrosia Fruit into his pocket and head home, a humanoid silhouette appeared on the right-forward corner before him.
Seeing the fruit in his hand seemed to stun the silhouette for a moment before it bellowed like a thunder, “You! It was you who took the Ambrosia Fruit!”
The voice was booming enough that it echoed through half of the mountain.
Eyes from all around snapped upward and trained to a single direction, Zayn’s direction.
His heart skipped a beat. Things had just taken a turn for the worse.
He spun on his heels and ran as fast as favonovel.com could.
Sh*t had hit the fan. Someone found out about him, and now leaving Mount Leo had become a lot more precarious!
