The Monster inside the cave has already noticed something has occurred. However, it appears that he did not plan to go outside.
That monster remains asleep near that tree. At this point, he was unaware that Sam had already approached the tree.
He is waiting for the right moment to deactivate the shadow movement technique and grab the fruits. The problem is that the monster is more powerful than him and can react much faster.
He cannot be careless for even a second.
'I need to wait for the right moment to deactivate the technique. Sigh, it would be great if I could store objects in my inventory without touching them.
Unfortunately, I did not possess that ability. As a result, I must resort to a different method. Despite The Monster's superior strength, I can use the shadow bind technique.
Even if it was only for 5 seconds, I would be able to get those fruits. But, as I stated earlier, I would not take all of the fruits.
I did not want to change the fate of David. This fruit will be critical to his development and a strong bond with Fiona Radus.'
5 Minutes Later,
The monster inside the cave detected no disturbances or anything similar.
He appeared to believe that everything had been resolved. He was unconcerned about those other monsters or the other level 50 monster. With that, The Monster decided to sleep near the tree.
He was constantly observing his surroundings. From the outside, it appeared that Monster was sleeping, but he was actually faking it. However, the monster was currently very tired and wanted to sleep.
But he was unaware that a person was present in his shadow. The person is watching him from the moment he enters the cave.
From the outside, even that person assumed the monster was sleeping. But when he got close to the monster and merged with his shadow, he realized it was awake.
Naturally, that person is Sam. It is a good thing that using the shadow movement technique does not cause spiritual fluctuations.
Nobody would be able to feel anything, even if he got close to them. Because of this, the Monster did not feel anything when he approached it.
However, at this time, he experienced a spiritual shift. Even though the amount of Spiritual fluctuation was small, it was still present. With this, he predicted that Monster was not sleeping.
Currently, The Monster's aura is returning to normal. The Spiritual fluctuation surrounding that Monster begins to fade. With this, the monster let down his guard.
This is the ideal time to take action. But the problem is that if that Monster let down his guard, it would only take a second for him to attack him if he appeared unexpectedly in that location.
The good news is that he possesses the shadow bind technique. Sam immediately applies that technique. He binds the Monster's shadow and deactivates the shadow movement technique.
The Monster became alert again after he used the shadow bind technique. It appears that he wanted to attack the enemy.
Unfortunately, the Monster has realized he cannot get up from the ground. There is a restriction force present there. This enraged the Monster, who began to struggle furiously.
Everything happened in a single second. Within the next second, that monster noticed a person appeared in that location.
Unfortunately, the monster has lost the ability to make sounds or anything similar. He can only see humans approaching the precious tree.
After a while,
A restriction force is finally removed from that monster. The tiger monster let out a ferocious roar. He wanted to rip that enemy apart.
Unfortunately, before he can attack the enemy, that human vanishes from the scene. Everything happened in 5 seconds, and he could not do anything.
The Tiger Monster has predicted that the enemy will leave the cave. He immediately used all of his power and appeared outside the cave.
That Monster uses his full power to locate the enemy. Unfortunately, he could not locate anything.
However, the monster refused to give up so easily. At the moment, those other Monsters have appeared in that location. When the minotaurs noticed The Tiger Monster outside the cave, they realized something had happened inside.
Not long after, the level 50 monster and the other minotaurs began to search the surrounding area. They were determined to find and kill the enemy under any circumstances.
Unfortunately for them, they should have realized how difficult it would be to capture that human. Because that human, or should I say Sam, used the shadow movement technique and arrived 2 kilometers away from that cave.
He was completely exhausted from maintaining the shadow movement technique for so long. Almost 90% of his spiritual energy was expended in this process.
'Luckily, I am faster than that monster.'
Sam feels fortunate that the monster has stopped pursuing him. This puts him out of danger. But he did not want to stay there for too long.
************
'I have a strong feeling that I will be able to find something here. I should see if there is anything here or not.'
A person of Sam's age is currently outside the cave from which Sam obtained the hearthfruit. As you might expect, he is David, the story's protagonist.
Despite not knowing anything about the cave, fate, or should I say the plot, led him here. David stepped carefully into the cave.
Sam had no idea, but he unintentionally helped David. After a while, David emerged from the cave, speechless. He can not believe he found heart fruit inside the cave.
'This is absolutely unbelievable. Why did I not encounter any monsters? Is there an issue with the hearth fruit? I do not believe any Monster will be unable to find a place like this. There is undoubtedly something going on.'
David left at the right time, because all of the Monsters returned shortly after. After failing to locate the enemy, both level 50 monsters become enraged.
Both of them wanted to protect the tree at all costs so that the remaining fruits were not stolen by anyone.
