Transmigrated into Another Apocalyptic World (BL) - Chapter 414 414

414: Chapter 413: Thorn 2 414: Chapter 413: Thorn 2 Luciel poured enough plant energy into Thorn, focusing most of it on the blood that the cactus had just absorbed.

He concentrated his plant energy on the absorbed blood until he felt that he had finally established a link with Thorn.

The blood filled with his plant energy inside Thorn became the core of their link.

After his death, that blood would automatically dissipate, but as long as they remained linked, the drop of his blood would stay within Thorn and act as a medium that strengthened their connection.

Because Thorn had been receiving his plant energy for a long time, it had already grown accustomed to it and showed no rejection when he poured in more energy.

As a result, their link was established easily without any problems.

For plants that hadn’t been receiving his plant energy over time, it would normally take longer before the link could be successfully established.

After the successful connection, Luciel removed his hand from Thorn and tried talking to it to confirm if the link was truly established.

“Now that the contract is successful, let’s work well together in the future.” [Of course!

Be sure to call me when you’re dealing with those things you call zombies.

I’ll make sure to kill a lot of them!] “Don’t worry.

I’ll definitely let you kill plenty of those things, as long as you’re really capable.

So, what’s your ability?” He hadn’t bothered asking about Thorn’s ability earlier, but now that they were officially partners, he needed to know what Thorn could do so he could utilize and cooperate with it properly.

[I can strengthen my thorns and use them to attack.

I can regenerate my thorns immediately, so I have a lot!

As long as I have enough plant energy, I can generate as many thorns as I want!] “Okay, then I’ll start storing enough plant energy in your body so that you’ll have enough to use in case of a prolonged battle.” Thorn had just awakened its consciousness, so it wasn’t strong yet and didn’t have much plant energy stored as a reserve.

[Yes, don’t worry!

I’ll only use it when I really need to!] “Yeah, you should work hard on your own growth and only use mine when you’re fighting.” It wasn’t good for conscious plants to rely solely on the plant energy provided by others instead of absorbing and accumulating energy for their own use.

Even though they had a link, if Thorn depended only on his plant energy and didn’t work hard to absorb its own, its growth would stagnate and eventually become stunted.

[Yeah!

I’ll become strong as soon as possible!] “Good.

Then, how big can you get?

And can you move freely?” He knew that conscious plants could either grow bigger or move freely, but it usually depended on their type which ability developed first.

Of course, there were also exceptional conscious plants that could both move freely and grow larger immediately after awakening, but they were very rare, so he didn’t expect Thorn to be one of them.

Still, he hoped that Thorn could grow bigger rather than move freely first, because its ability would be far more effective when it’s larger.

The larger it is, the more powerful and lethal it would be.

If it didn’t grow bigger, then with its current size which is only as big as his palm, even if it could move freely and harden its thorns, it wouldn’t be very lethal as a weapon.

[Oh, I can’t move freely yet,] Thorn said dejectedly, then added, [But I can indeed grow bigger!] “Nice!” Luciel said happily, then asked again, “So, how big can you get?” [I don’t know.

I haven’t tried getting bigger yet.

But I should be big!

Should I try to grow bigger?] Luciel looked outside and said, “Let’s try it tomorrow.” It was still dark outside, and the light they were using wasn’t that bright.

They were only keeping the light in areas that could be fully covered with thick sheets or with their abilities, like inside the small farmhouse or their vehicles, so as not to attract mutant animals or zombies.

Even though Luciel had strong night vision, it was still better to test things in the morning so he could properly observe Thorn’s condition.

[Ok.] After that, Luciel didn’t bother talking to Thorn anymore and just let it absorb more plant energy to strengthen itself.

As for him, he started playing games until he finally felt sleepy again.

In the morning, he wasn’t planning to get up yet, but Thorn kept speaking.

[Hey, wake up.

The others are already outside and left you.] “Shut up.” Of course, he knew the others had already left the RV since he had been half-awake when they went out, but he let his awareness drift back to sleep again.

[Wake up!

Wake up!

You’ve slept for a long time already.

Let’s go out and test how big I can get!] “F*ck.

Shut up,” Luciel said and glared at Thorn, who was at the bedside table.

“I know you’ve already gone through your memories and know my sleeping schedule since you’re staying beside our bed.

This is the only time I’ll let you off.

Next time you wake me up, I’ll throw you out.” [Oh… okay,] Thorn replied dejectedly.

Luciel didn’t care about its mood and closed his eyes again, sleeping for another 30 minutes.

Afterwards, he was finally in the mood to get up and got ready to go out for breakfast.

“I’ll go eat first.

I’ll take you out later.” [Ok!] When Luciel went out, he first looked into the distance to check what the others were dealing with.

While inside the RV, he could already hear that some members were fighting something outside the barricaded area.

If they hadn’t been fighting, they would’ve already started traveling by now.

Since he woke up late, even if he hadn’t eaten breakfast yet, they would’ve just saved it for him, and he would eat while traveling, just like he had done countless times before when he overslept.

He glanced at the people fighting and saw that they were actually dealing with some level 2 and level 3 zombies.
