Chapter 360: Break Down
Before Sage could take the comment as a compliment, the woman opened her mouth again, At least you havent turned into a complete idiot, but still What a mess!
The womans golden eyes stared at the large serpent, a piercing gaze that seemed like she was looking deep inside. She shook her head, Just because you can have more than one set of meridians doesnt make it a good idea. Torn in so many directions, do you think jamming in everything possible will make you stronger? Wouldnt that mean all the strongest Demonic Beasts would be chimeras with a dozen heads and hundreds of limbs?
She let out a long sigh, pausing to let her words sink in, Oh well, at least youre lucky. The squad that picked you up didnt realize you were human and that got you far enough for someone else to realize your value. Sit tight, well figure out what to do with you soon enough.
Sage thought about a number of responses, but the woman seemed to already know so many of his secrets. She hadnt given him an ultimatum or made any demands, so there was little sense in arguing with her. Anything he said would merely be disagreeing with her, or demands he had no backing to make. He also wasnt sure what to think about her insults. It was possible she was trying to undercut his decisions to make herself seem wiser, but her words were also somewhat true. The most powerful beasts had special abilities, but they usually fit within a sort of theme or specialty that they truly excelled with. He had more than a dozen different special qualities hed taken from different beasts and insects.
Was that a bad decision? Did I spread myself too thin?
The world didnt have much in the way of variety, but it was enough. The insects preyed upon each other, which made the strongest of them grow to maturity. On the other continent, the Spirit Animals had no predators except for the Hoplites and Kings Family. They were able to reproduce at astounding rates and provided ample food for Ruanfu to quickly reach adulthood. She was already on the cusp of breaking into the fifth rank, and Sage could only hope that his captors didnt know about her.
His captors hadnt even bothered to take away his Storage Ring or Beast Bag, showing their confidence that he couldnt do anything inside their prison. He wished that he hadnt lost the Universe Ring. Maybe one of the tricks in there could have gotten him out?
Thats a silly thing to think. Theyre so confident, its unlikely the Universe Ring would save me.
After a few days of being insulted by the furry eared woman, Sage couldnt take it anymore and lashed out at her, You talk big for someone who has to waste their time everyday insulting a prisoner. Youre just a jumped up jail guard who has to insult other people to make themselves feel important!
Unfortunately, the response was even more patronizing than before. She put her hand against her chest and her face softened, Oh, you poor, poor thing. Only a few days in confinement and youre already losing your cool. You must truly have suffered before we found you. Ill have Grimuk bring you something special tomorrow to cheer you up.
The next day, she made good on her word. Grimuks bucket was even worse than before, the things poured out of it werent just scraps of meat and gristle. Instead it was a bucket full of offal and grease. Discarded bits of organs and entrails, swimming in a grease pond. Sage was disgusted, coiling his body up at the back of the cell. The front and back of the cell had a gentle gradient which led to a small grate made of the same material as the bars of the cage. The mess each day would slowly dribble towards the grate, the blood from the food buckets would dry up and Sage would sometimes use a gout of flame to get rid of the smell. Since theyd left him with his Storage Ring, they must have known hed have rations in there. He guessed the daily bucket of slop was more of an insult to further wear down his mental state.
