Kanada reached within the cupboard, and from within, she pulled out what resembled a crystal fruit. However, lenny could clearly see that that was not the case.
This crystal fruit was not oval in nature like the others he had seen since he ca to this place. It was shaped like a cone, but still had that translucent look about it, that was both attractive and mysterious.
"This is called a Diamond fruit. One of these is equivalent to a thousand Crystal fruits. It is a fruit of the land. Only gotten when a devoted priest of the Earthen elves, sanctified and anointed, prays to the plane for 5 years without ceasing.
The plane blesses their effort with a diamond fruit. There was once upon a ti when getting such a fruit was not a big deal. But since the coming of the Royal Asmodeus family many years ago, the plane had started to lose its self. This beca worse after the fall of the Morningstar and the erection of the devil dungeons.
Finding a devoted Earthen elf priest in this age and ti is like trying to look for a needle in a haystack.
Even if one was found, the individual would need to pray for a longer period of ti for the plane to respond. After all, it is common knowledge that Celesterra is no longer pleased with the Earthen Elves.
For this reason, this Diamond fruit is very rare. In anticipation of your arrival, I saved this one specially for you." She handed it over to him.
However, unlike what she expected, lenny did not imdiately consu it. Instead, he stared at her for a while. "I have two questions. Firstly, Why are you doing this? I an, helping . Secondly, How I’m i sure this is not poisoned?"
Kanada gave a side smile, revealing her rows of jagged saw uneven teeth. "Like I said, you are of no use to us as you are. You need to recover your mories, and that his only possible once your soul is healed, and that can only happen if you at least get to the Blue soul level.
The transformative power of your soul at that level will completely heal your soul.
But for you to reach the Blue soul level as fast as possible, skipping hundreds of years of cultivation, you will be needing more Earthen fruits of this plane. Unfortunately, I only have this one. And even in the Pig market, it is no longer available.
The only person that has quite the abundant supply is Lady Naamah. The current ruler of the Plane and representative of the Asmodeus royal family.
Under normal circumstances, one would not be able to reach her. However, the coming Azure festival provides an avenue for one to acquire her favor.
Besides, they are already rumors that she intends to gift the winner with a Erald gold Fruit. Just one of those fruits can ensure that your soul even becos a a level 3 Red soul.
Unfortunately, the minimal criteria for entering the competition is for one to have a Yellow soul. With this, you will be able to fulfill that criteria.
And to answer your second question..." she smiled, "...You do not have a choice in the matter. Its either you take it and have a chance at getting your life back, or refuse it and wonder this plane for hundreds of years with the Asmodeus family trying to hunt you."
There was a bit of silence in the room. Lenny’s senses honed from countless battles told him that things were not so simple. There were things that he had no prior knowledge to, and could see that this ’Help’ was not going to be cheap in the future.
However, he was currently at his wit’s end. if anything was going to happen, then it was going to be in the future. fir now, he was going to take the risk. After all, the only other option was death.
lenny took the Diamond fruit from Kanada. It was the size of a cherry, and was easily consud in one bite. lenny swallowed it. Like lted honey, it flowed easily into his body. It was sweet to the taste, but the mont it got to the stomach, it was as if he had put in bitter-harsh bile into his body.
"Oh, yes! I forgot to tell you, diamond fruits may stink a little." Kanada spoke up. however, it was already too late. lenny had began to feel the brute force of the substance that he had consud.
After a bit of groaning pain, he could suddenly feel a cool sensation from his soul.
An improvent in the strength of his soul also saw that lenny suddenly had flash backs. More of his mories had been restored. All of a sudden, he rembered certain details about his arrival to this world.
lenny waved his hand, and his fingers drew shadow runes in the air. He now rembered that he was capable of such a thing as well as why he had left the eighth earth in the first place.
Kanada instantly recognised the look in his eyes. "It would seem that you have recovered a bit of yourself. This is good! can you tell what you rember?"
If it was before he had consud the fruit, lenny might have not answered, but in his current state, it was quite easy to win his trust. Especially when Kanada had given him such a very important gift.
"I... I rember I was heading sowhere. My arrival at Celessera was a mistake." lenny answered.
"Hmmm!?" Kanada’s attention had been pulled to his words. "And if i might ask, where were you heading to?"
Lenny raised his head to her, "erm... soplace. I... I think its called purgatory!"
His words shocked her.
Kanada was a very knowledgably person. And Purgatory was not known to be an ordinary place. The history it carried and the purpose of its existence was one that easily put fear into the heart of any that knew well enough of its existence.
For a brief mont, she could not help but pause and look at Lenny in a much different light than before. Of course, whether this light was a good or bad one was not clearly stated.
lenny observed her reaction. he could tell that he had said sothing that he probably shouldn’t have ntioned.
"Tell , is there any other thing you rember?" Kanada asked. "For example, any reason why you may have wanted to go into purgatory? Please, try to rember! any thing at all will do!"
Lenny tried to recall, his mind flashing back but the best he could reach was in rembering the battle he went through against the Voidlings and the violence they ensured on both his physical body and his soul.
Those mories suddenly caused a sharp pain in his head and he fell to the ground in pain.
Kanada saw this and frowned.
Lenny’s veins suddenly appeared about his skin like the roots of a tree. They were purple in nature and gave the illusion that they were going to pop out of his skin.
Closer observation, and one could see them wriggle like snakes under his skin, as if a part of his body was seriously rejecting the other parts of him.
Kanada’s frown deepened as she took his hand in her own. "You have been poisoned. Its the flas of a Jin. She placed a finger on his neck. "Incredible! Its very bad. its a miracle you are still alive. The perverted flas of a Jin should by right, kill you from inside out.
Wait here!" She hurried to her feet and went into her cupboard once more, "I did not think I was ever going to use this, but right now, we have no choice. The mont you consud the Diamond fruit, your soul was fed a strong source of energy to facilitate its growth, but at the sa ti, so was the perverted flas that act as poison in your body.
Jins are creatures of fire and soul. If the Diamond fruit would nourish your soul, then it would do the sa thing for the poison too." As she explained this, Lenny was already on the ground.
He groaned deeply in pain. With the improvent to his soul ca the greater sensitivity to pain. He could feel the swimming of the poisoned flas from his soul into his body.
It was like a mixture of Lava sprinkled with pepper and jabbed into his nerve endings. Every slight movent hurt, giving him the impression that he was glass on the verge of breaking.
Back at the cave, Whatsoever it was that Venir had done only slowed down the effects of the purple flas. Now, with more strength, it was a raging inferno in his body.
At such a ti, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared. It was none other than Commander Headbreak. With a loud voice, he shouted, "GIVE MY PREY!"
