Chapter 17: Monster
Adam ran towards Priscilla upon her call; normally you would think that he would run up the stairs, but instead, upon reaching close to the high, structured altar, he bent down, and in the next instant, he jumped up towards Priscilla, who was standing on the altar.
And despite being so small, he jumps way past the altar's initial 20-meter mark, going above it by an extra 10 meters. And when landing, he propels his body forward, doing a front flip as he lands in front of Priscilla; both hands raise upwards to manage his balance.
As a Shinso human, it was normal that he was stronger than a normal human being, even while being only five years old in body. To be honest, he was so strong to the point he once knocked down a large metal gate by accident when he kicked a rubber ball right into it.
Beyond that, Adam also realized he was also very flexible, so much so he can move his organs around to some extent. But beyond that, those were his greatest feats as a Shinso human, beyond his eyes, of course.
But in the Monster Realm, this level of physical strength was practically a joke. There were creatures here far beyond human limits; Roland himself could lift several tons with ease and punch straight through a steel wall like it was paper.
As such, Adam has already concluded that the only real way to get stronger was to acquire magic.
So for that reason, he has been looking forward to this day for years now.
"Big Sister Priscilla, can we start the spirit-calling ritual now?"
Adam said with his cute and childlike voice.
Priscilla, however, just sighed and replied back as such.
"Ah, for heaven's sake... The altar is not about to sprout legs and run off, so there is no need to get your knickers in a twist. Before we go any further, we need to check your Astrum reserves."
