Summoned and Unwanted

463 Zero’s emerald seed

Ester was beside Vincent. She noticed the rare behavior of losing his temper and acting like a different person.

It only happened a few times, but it was impactful enough to remember forever. This seemed to happen at times when Vincent became angry, yet he hesitated because there was no need to lose his temper.

“That is enough for now. ” Ester said while tugging his arm. “Let’s go away, Vincent. He isn’t worth the effort.” She continued, hoping her words could convince him.

However, Vincent didn’t listen. He shook his hand away from Ester, and Overheat activated all of a sudden.

Vincent opened his mouth and took an endless deep breath as if sucking the air. All the domination intent vanished, and everyone’s body started to recuperate. But it wasn’t going to last for long.

Vincent stopped and closed his mouth. Shortly, his mouth opened, and a loud roar with force and intensity left his mouth.

Previously, the domination aura could only travel so far. But now it was different. As if the skill Submit was combined with the domination aura and sound.

Anyone who heard the roar submitted to Vincent’s dominance. The effect every person felt was based on the distance the sound traveled. The closer a person was, the more potent the effect was.

Kilo and the others around him were the main targets. They fainted in less than five seconds and soiled themselves. Even their strong servants were caught unprepared and ended up falling to the ground after their limbs went weak.

.....

The weak students, their servants, and villagers in the audience dropped simultaneously. Their body felt so much fear and intimidation at the same time that they fainted. Only a few remained to stand, staring at Vincent as if he was a monster.

The rumors about what happened would later call Vincent’s shout the Lion’s Roar.

The only ones that were barely affected were Ester, Lupa, Iris, Lilith, and Plow. However, they felt more worry than fear because of Vincent’s strange enraged behavior.

After Lion’s Roar stopped, Vincent’s eyes returned to normal, and he regained his reason. In front of his vision were many people on the ground. He stopped using Overheat and looked at Ester with a frown.

“I lost it again?... Didn’t I?” He said with a raspy voice.

[We can talk about this later. But first, it is better to turn your head.]

[The potion doesn’t look to have given Lilith a simple stomach ache of a minor inconvenience. Her condition looks serious, and she needs the bathroom ASAP.]

Ester hugged Vincent, and she looked at him with tears in her eyes. “I was afraid you became that thing and started killing anyone who isn’t one of us. I was afraid our peaceful lives were going to be over.”

Vincent turned his head and saw Lilith. A frown appeared on his face because Lilith didn’t have a negative condition other than tired.

“Let’s go back. ” Vincent said before a village security guard arrived at the scene. He promptly ordered Vincent, the only person wearing a uniform standing at the center of this occurrence, to explain what happened.

“I am Vincent Lionheart, and this all happened because of Kilo Blackheart. Tell teacher Maria to visit us. I will tell her what happened.” Vincent turned around and took out his academy card.

“What! Don’t leave...” However, Vincent, his wives, and Plow left before the village security guard could finish his sentence.

” I felt his powerful intent and ran here before someone told me something was happening. Is he really a student? Is he going to be this year’s trump card?” The village security guard questioned.

A bright flash of light appeared on team ten island. The moment it faded, Vincent activated Overheat, rushed to an empty space, and summoned Pocket Cabin.

“You will feel at ease in our cabin. ” Vincent caringly said.

Ester opened the door and let Vincent with Lilith rush inside. Plow ran with Iris to the garden to pluck some herbs. Vincent later left the cabin and left everything in Ester’s hands.

“Why is her condition strange?” Vincent questioned.

After checking Lilith’s condition, she only had a tired condition. Additionally, Lilith had the four potion effects still in effect.

However, it was strange. Half an hour passed, yet the potion’s effects only displayed a five-minute decrease.
Lupa returned with Iris after wearing clothes while Plow followed them behind. Lupa and Iris entered, but Polw remained beside Vincent.

“Vincent Vincent. Is Lilith going to be okay?” *Pho?*

Vincent lifted Plow and told her, “Yes. Lilith has us beside her. Let’s believe in Ester, Lupa, and Iris that Lilith’s little nature problem goes away.”

“Plow wanted to help. But Plow will be in the way. So Plow decided to stay with Vincent Vincent.” *Pho*

“You are becoming one bright little fox, Plow.” Vincent praised Plow while brushing her soft fur.

Vincent wanted a change of pace while Lilith got better. “I am going to the garden and rest in the shade. Do you want to stay here, Kazumi?”

[Yeah, I will keep an eye on the situation.]

[It is best to clear your mind. I was worried after you lost your reason and shouted loudly.]

Kazumi left his body and kept an eye on Lilith’s situation while Vincent went to the garden. He hoped the scent of herbs could make him feel at ease.

Soon, Zero entered his view. A puzzled frown appeared on his face when he noticed Zero planted inside the ground more than usual. Only its head was visible.

It was easy to mistake Zero for a growing plant. But when Vincent approached, it moved its two tiny leaves on its stem-like head and asked to be fed.

Vincent sat beside Zero and used Overheat. He made a scratch on his arm and placed it near Zero’s head.

The tiny leaves moved happily and a vine slowly raised from the ground. It entered Vincent’s scratch like an injection, and he began drinking his mutated blood.

“Zero looks happy.” *Pho* “Plow also loves Vincent Vincent warmth.” Plow said while snuggling with Vincent.

A few minutes passed, yet Zero kept drinking mutated blood. It was an unusual behavior because Zero would stop after a minute normally.

It caused Vincent to look at Zero. His eyes opened wide when he noticed an emerald crystal statue of a plant instead of Zero. The vine used to drink his blood was changed too.

*Crack* The vine inside his arm’s wound broke like glass. Vincent started to worry that Zero might have suddenly died. After so many weeks of feeding Zero his mutated blood, Vincent had become attached to it.

“Plow, Let’s dig Zero out. Maybe it is still alive.” Vincent requested urgently.

Soon, Vincent and Plow dug Zero out of the ground as gently as they could, but Zero’s body crumbled like fragile glass.

Vincent fell on his bum from shock. He felt guilty after believing Zero died because of him. One hundred mutation percentage meant death by becoming a statue, it appeared.

*Sniff, sniff* *Pho!* “Plow smells Zero under the hole! We dig more!”

These words gave Vincent hope. He carefully continued digging, and as Plow mentioned, there was an emerald jewel of a similar size to an avocado seed.

“You are right, Plow. This is Zero. It became a seed again.” Vincent said and sighed in relief. When his sigh blew a puff of steam on the seed, it made a sound.

*Crack!* The seed began to crack for a moment and stopped as if the process was halted.

An idea flashed in Vincent’s mind. He made another scratch on his arm and rubbed the seed on his wound as if it was soap. The more the jewel-like seed became covered in mutated blood, the more it cracked.

Soon, the seed broke, and a tiny leaf was in Vincent’s hand.

.

[Zero has become a familiar of Vincent Lionheart.]

.

“H...” [Hungry. Hungry.]

“You have become tiny again after growing tall. Haha.” Vincent laughed and placed the one-inch tall baby Zero on his wound. “But you still want to drink my blood. Some things never change.”



“So... is this the way Zero will be able to survive? Instead of aggression as the time passes, it chooses regression.” Vincent questioned while leaving Zero to use its tiny vines for drinking his mutated blood.

“Now, let me take a peek at your stats. ” Vincent said. However, he soon realized how this might be the last time Zero was going to turn into an emerald statue and regrow from its seed.

Vincent became speechless. He heard how plants could be temporary familiars, but Zero now has a core. Furthermore, the core is the same core name Plow has.
