Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

Chapter 1027  Children's Growth

Spending time with his family for extended periods felt nice. It was also much better to talk about his tales than expected. Both Alice and Lucia were very interested in his stories, and Daniel even joined in listening at some point. Danny had heard about most of his tales, but listening to them in detail again helped him a lot.

Daniel Fang was still far from becoming a Demi-God, but listening to someone who had already fought multiple Demi-Gods, A Pseudo God and a Primal, taught him a lot. Even Michael couldn't be arrogant before the Primal, which was good to hear but also frightening.

It was good because it showed that Michael was not invincible. That made him more humane in the eyes of many. Still, it was also bad because it would be terrifying if a Primal were to kill Michael. Nobody wanted that to happen except the Supreme Human Alliance and the Primal, maybe.

Once Michael was done with his storytelling – several days had passed – Lucia met up with Frederik's boy. There weren't many children of powerful Awakened, which made it increasingly difficult for children with the gift of energy to play around. Lucia and Frederik's boy had already manifested their War Rune and were both already at the 2nd Tier. That was shocking since the children were still far from becoming adults, which was the norm for manifesting their War Runes. That being said, the two children were a decade too young to manifest their War Rune under normal circumstances, yet they did it already. They were too strong to play with children around their age because a single mistake – a light punch, a playful push, or something along those lines – could kill ordinary children.

Fortunately, neither Lucia nor Tom, Frederik's boy, cared much about the other children. They had each other to play with to their hearts' content. It didn't matter how brutal they played; they were roughly at the same rank and Tier and were thus having a hard time seriously injuring each other. Not that they didn't try. Lucia and Tom were…unique, to put it into simple words. They joined the training of the Sacred Knight Temple on more than one occasion and observed the training regime in the Hunter Academy, the Alchemist Lairs, the Blacksmiths in the Underground Forging Halls, the Farmers, Architects, Forest Rangers, Rangers, Tamers, and many more almost daily.

The duo of reckless and impatient children turned the Untamed Jungle upside down at every given opportunity. They sustained many injuries as well, but their behavior never changed. Even after both broke their legs while jumping down from a large tree they'd climbed, neither changed. They continued climbing the same tree and jumped down again after one of the Healers among the Super Awakened tended to their wounds. The second time, only Tom broke his leg, whereas Lucia succeeded in jumping from one tree branch to the branch of another tree. It would have been okay if they did that at a low altitude, but for a 2nd Tier Awakened to break his legs, they must have jumped from more than 10 meters. Of course, they were children and thus prone to injuries, but Alice and Jacqueline were going crazy whenever Tom and Lucia disappeared to play. Frederik and Michael weren't as worried as the women because neither Lucia nor Tom were foolish enough to do something that threatened their lives. Even if they did something like that, they ensured to injure themselves only as much as the Healers in the settlement could heal.

There was a tad of cunningness in their actions and plays that impressed Michael and Frederik so much that they decided to stalk their children to watch them play. The children were out of everyone's sight when they started climbing the trees, only to initiate a small brawl on a thick branch six meters above the surface. Frederik and Michael looked at each other in surprise when they saw how smoothly the children fought. They hadn't learned any fancy martial arts techniques just yet and didn't manifest a Soultrait either, but Tom and Lucia could control their bodies with great precision. It was almost like they didn't notice the difference between their Tierless body and breaking through to the 2nd Tier.

"They have already adapted to their bodies and copied the techniques of the Sacred Knights, the Forest Rangers, and several sequences from the Hunter Academy," Michael mumbled, his eyes narrowed to tiny slits.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Tom and Lucia were covered in bruises and looked like a bunch of adults had beaten them into pulps, but the children merely smiled at each other. Lucia raised her hand high into the air, which summoned a small sprite. No, it was one of the Forest Pixies, which arrived on command with a small wooden bowl filled with the Greater Nature Spirit's nectar. It was filled with lifeforce and other ingredients, each aiding the healing process of young and vigorous bodies.

"Is she using the trace of Nature to do that?" Frederik asked in surprise as the children shared the bowl. The Forest Pixie took the bowl and disappeared a moment later while the black and blue bruises covering their children's bodies disappeared.

"I think so. But that is a lot more precise and powerful than I expected. The trace of Nature inside Lucia is not noteworthy. It was already surprising when I saw how much the jungle monster adore her. Not even the most aggressive jungle monsters think about attacking Lucia, even if they have the chance. Meanwhile, they attack me without hesitation."

Frederik looked at his friend, the corners of his lips curling upward.

"Are our children broken?" He asked, not even trying to hide his grin.

"Why are you grinning like that while asking such a question? What do you want me to answer?" Michael chuckled lightly, patting his friend's shoulder while focusing on his child. He didn't think Lucia would like fighting. Her connection with Nature and life was strong. Strong enough for Michael to consider giving Lucia a few Healing-type and Nature-type Soultraits once her body, soul, and mind were ready for it.

But from the looks of it, Michael and Alice, for a matter of fact, had been mistaken. Lucia was not only interested in combat, but she was already a better combatant than most Descendants were after training for a whole decade. Yet, Lucia never received any tutelage from others. Not actively, at least.

"How strong will they be once they turn 18? Can I keep up with their growth?" Frederik asked, a sudden realization kicking in.

"What if they keep growing stronger this fast? Will my little boy surpass me and become a Demi-God before me?" His eyes widened in surprise, but Michael only chuckled.

"Do you think you can become a Demi-God?" Michael narrowed his eyes as a joke, only to get punched in the shoulder.

"Be careful what you say. I can still beat your secondary body!" Frederik's eyes glimmered, but Michael only laughed.

"For now, yeah."
