"Probably not the most fair question to ask , Logan… you could say I am still a child of sorts… ntally I only awakened recently… I have not interacted with many, and Valeria has been my source and role model while I stayed here…
But I do feel attracted to you, if that is what you an. As far as society and all that goes… as long as you have ti for , that is all I ask.
Maybe this will change as I understand how my feelings work and how society works, but for now, just being here like this is fine…"
Serana looked straight at Logan before giving him an awkward quick kiss on the lips.
Logan's eyes widened; he did not expect the action and tried to speak, but Serana covered his mouth with her index finger.
"That… at least I know that much should be done right?" Serana giggled before using her power of shadow teleportation to get off Logan.
"Well, I enjoyed our brief ti together, Logan. I am fed and ready to move, so let's go check on Kryst." Serana radiated a new expression that Logan could not keep himself from looking away.
"Sure… let's go find Kryst then." Logan fixed his clothes and waited a few seconds to adjust himself.
"Alright, lead the way." Logan got up and walked next to Serana while holding her hand.
"That kiss wasn't fair, by the way." Logan smirked as he was led down the dark tunnel leading directly to the crystals that Digger had dug to avoid going through the grueso section of the abandoned laboratory.
It wasn't long before Logan saw how crystals filled the small tunnel they had to enter to get to the center of the volcano.
"Wow, these weren't here yesterday," Serana said as she pulled a few large crystals with her super vampiric strength.
"Looks like whatever she is doing is working." Logan did as Serana did and started storing crystals in his rings.
"Soon we won't even need to hunt monsters," Logan smiled as he saw the purity of the crystals rise by leaps and bounds from the last ti he had visited.
"Yes, well, her new helpers are indeed great at refining mana." Serana handed the crystals she had removed to Logan before exiting the last section of the tunnel.
Logan, who followed her, saw how the inside of the volcano looked completely different. The crystals made it seem like a hall of mirrors, as he could see his reflection in many of the stones.
The area where the large golem had fought before was filled with steaming water, and Logan saw Kryst bathing in its center.
"Kryst?" Logan called out to the blob, which was happily floating around the water.
"Ma…ster!" The small gelatinous figure used its light body to fly up at great speed, bounced twice, and finally landed on Logan in her human girl form.
"Been… so long!" Kryst hugged Logan tightly.
"Yes, it has been a while, Kryst. I missed you too." Logan hugged the sli who would always be with him.
After a few minutes of letting Kryst enjoy the reunion, Logan walked towards the water, inspecting its shining mana-filled properties.
"So tell , Kryst, how did you make this?" Logan asked, happy to be able to use this type of elixir-like water once again.
"New friends!" Kryst said, pulling Logan by the hand.
As soon as they reached the interior of the cave, away from the lava-filled area, he noticed a type of glowing zone.
"What is… that?" Logan got closer until he saw various colorful caps. As he walked a few steps, he saw mushrooms growing lively around a certain area of the cave.
"Your friends?" Logan tried to clarify what he was seeing. He noticed a small stream of water that went through the mushrooms before flowing towards the center of the tunnel where the water gathered.
"Yes, they make water tasty! I help clean." Kryst added while nodding happily.
"They seem to drain the crystals and add that mana to the water that cos from that small hole. I think it cos from the ice covering the volcano, so it should be clean," Serana supplented, providing the remaining information.
"So they are the ones helping make the mana-filled water, huh…" Logan got closer and checked each of the mushrooms that tilted away his presence.
"They fear you a little, master," Kryst said, tugging Logan back a little.
"Oh, sorry about that, I didn't know they could… see ?" Logan looked at the weird shrooms from above and counted them; there were at least forty bunched together.
"How about you ta the three largest ones? I think that will help us in the long run," Serana suggested, pointing towards the three.
"I was thinking the sa." Logan cut his finger while looking at Kryst to see if it was alright. She nodded, so this ti he moved slowly towards each mushroom, placing a drop of blood over their cap.
After a few seconds of waiting for a reaction, he saw how the three mushrooms jiggled a little before growing abnormally. Each one was, thankfully, in a separate area, so the growth did not disturb each other. Over the course of a few seconds, they grew a few centiters, before growing again by a ter within two or three minutes. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire
The process was entertaining enough for the three observers to keep looking at them.
"Well, I did not expect them to grow that big…" Logan said as they waited for the three to finish growing.
"I don't think they are done yet…" Serana added, looking at the strange happening before her.
"Grow! Grow!" Kryst said happily, watching her three friends grow bigger by the minute.
As soon as the three grew to a ter and a half, they stopped.
"Well… I think it is done," Logan said, but suddenly he heard a few more pings.
"What? What's happening?" Logan picked his ear to make sure he wasn't hearing things.
The three mushrooms were actually eating the smaller ones, which in turn gave them more levels as well as rapidly absorbing the mana around them.
"Wow, that is just weird…" Serana said as she noticed that the mushrooms began to glow again as if evolving.
Within seconds of glowing, the three mushrooms began to grow limbs.
