Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots Chapter 753 - 346: The Consequences of Provoking "Mother
Previously on Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots...
First, the main course—a colossal heart that still pulses faintly.
This heart towers half a person's height, its exterior layered with crystal-clear transparent scales, every throb echoing with a delightful chime.
"This is the heart of an ‘Echo Whale.’
Nari softly stroked the capsule's surface, her voice overflowing with maternal pride:
"Echo Whales are rare beasts that emerge only from the Abyss Sixth Layer onward. They devour sound, amassing the purest sonic essence in their hearts."
"Mother battled the Rager of the sixth layer to seize this Echo Whale."
Her voice held a little girl's proud brag:
"Even if Mother took some wounds, it was worth it for this treasure for my darling."
Next, the side dish—a handful of strange vine sprouts pulsing with time distortions.
These sprouts appear semi-transparent, with time flowing inside like a fluid.
"These are Time Vine sprouts, rare flora thriving at the borders of time rifts."
Nari described them as if unveiling cherished family heirlooms:
"Consuming them will sharpen my darling's sense of time's flow, giving a battle advantage."
Finally, the dessert—a fist-sized crystal radiating a dreamy glow from its core.
This crystal contains myriad tiny lights, each one a shard of a separate dream world.
"A Dream Crystal, containing pieces of all sorts of lovely dreams."
Nari's voice softened tenderly:
"Mother handpicked dreams brimming with love and warmth, so my darling can feel joy while growing stronger."
"Come, my little angel, time to dine."
Nari delicately positioned these treasures beside the puppet, watching its response eagerly:
"No rush, eat slowly. Mother will be right here by your side."
The runes etched on the puppet's body started reacting to these premium "foods."
Silver radiance flared brighter than before.
Intricate energy conduits stretched out like veins, linking precisely to every ingredient.
As the Echo Whale's heart broke down, it unleashed a mesmerizing sonic vibration, filling the treasure vault with celestial harmonies.
The Time Vine sprouts morphed into streams of pure time essence, stirring subtle temporal waves around the puppet.
The Dream Crystal unleashed a prismatic shimmer, with endless enchanting visions flickering through the air.
"Incredible! Incredible!"
Nari quivered in thrill, her numerous tentacles thrashing wildly aloft:
"My darling savors this feast so much; Mother is overjoyed beyond words!"
Once the lavish "banquet" fully digested, the puppet's blessing pulses surged to peak power.
The gentle, pure energy, akin to a soft spring wind, calmed Nari's disordered mind, neatly unraveling her jumbled thoughts.
"This sensation..."
Nari savored the rare mental sharpness, her gaze lost in bliss:
"Feels just like nestling in Mother's arms again—so cozy, so secure..."
Bolstered by the puppet's grace, Nari's intellect rose steadily.
Her once-scattered ideas gained structure, emotions steadied under control.
Above all, she began weaving intricate strategies.
"Since the secret won't stay hidden, I'll inform Chai Ye first."
Nari whispered to herself, excitement bubbling uncontrollably:
"He'll be thrilled witnessing how amazing my darling is.
Maybe he'll award me extra hunting rights, letting me fetch even more delights for my darling."
Yet amid the joy, a primal caution stirred silently.
She grasped the Abyss's brutal survival code perfectly.
The mighty devour the frail; it's an eternal, ironclad rule.
Though Chai Ye served as her "direct superior," pure gain would twist such bonds into plunderous greed.
"But even so..."
A fierce dread welled deep in Nari's mind:
"If Lord Chai Ye covets my darling for himself..."
.........
Abyss Ninth Layer, heart of the Lava Sea.
Chai Ye pursued his routine brutal training, his enormous frame withstanding heat and pressure that could liquify peaks.
For a Supreme Apostle, only such harsh realms pushed his near-maximal physique further.
Suddenly, a hesitant mental signal probed in.
"Lord Chai Ye! Lord Chai Ye!"
Nari's call rang like an eager child's, bursting with thrill and wary praise:
"I have huge fantastic news! You have to come see my darling!"
Chai Ye's three faces each displayed unique reactions.
The first face (Rational) scowled skeptically:
"What wild nonsense is this idiot dreaming up now?
Last time it boasted of a ‘perfect minion,’ but it was merely a marginally clever Abyss Worm."
The second face (Greedy) gleamed with fiery greed:
"Yet this time, her voice rings differently...
That fervor feels authentic, not her typical mad delusion. If it's really valuable..."
The third face (Cautious) bared guarded suspicion:
"Though Nari's dim-witted, her senses run keen.
Her hype signals something extraordinary, demanding prudent action."
"Wait, Nari."
Chai Ye masked his eagerness, forcing a commanding tone:
