Chapter 44
Clayton’s eyes sparkled as he watched the crimson-colored plant grow—so rapidly that its movement was visible to the naked eye.
It continued rising until it reached his knees, then stopped, trembling violently as if something was happening within.
Clayton immediately panicked, fearing something had gone wrong.
Using his Entry, he discovered that the plant was supposed to grow even further, but it lacked something essential.
He examined it closely. At first, nothing stood out—until he caught a faint metallic scent and saw reddish stains on the stem. A memory clicked.
Without hesitation, Clayton retrieved a vial of diluted arowana blood and poured it over the plant.
Sure enough, moments later, the trembling ceased and the plant resumed its vertical growth.
Clayton exhaled in relief—but the calm didn’t last. Soon, the plant trembled again, repeating the same symptoms.
This time, already knowing the cause, Clayton quickly brought out some boar’s blood and fed it to the plant.
It began growing once more, its form changing from a mere sprout to a vivid, fiery-red magical grass. This time, perhaps because of the stronger concentration of blood, there was no further stagnation.
Satisfied, Clayton nodded to himself. He couldn’t help but marvel at the power of his Entry.
