THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapter 9. First Contract

Sam slowly began to climb the volcano slowly. The surface is so hot that the sweat itself evaporates into thin air as soon as it exits the pores. But Sam kept going. As the higher he climbed, the more crows he saw near the volcano, this only led him to believe that something was wrong. 

Since no normal crow can survive near a volcano let alone fly towards the mouth of a volcano. Then if this crow was unusual, then it should have been a magical beast. And if this whole flock of crows were together and no one in the village would ever notice it. That's something unnatural. That's why Sam tried to figure it out.

Sam finally entered the smog that covered the mouth of the volcano. When entering the smog it did not blur precisely the opposite of what he saw made him almost lose grip. The mouth of the volcano was not as close as he had expected. It was still far away and what made him even more surprised was that the mountain from now on had no slope. It's almost like a straight wall. Sam took a deep breath and continued on his way. But after a while he couldn't stand the temperature. 

His body was forged by cultivating the 'Myriad beast bloodline' technique to withstand the pressure from the bloodline of the beasts but he was still unable to continue. So, he ended up gritting his teeth and subconsciously started the cultivation technique. He suddenly felt that the temperature around him had increased by leaps and bounds. Realizing this Sam sees hope and goes back on his way. 

But after climbing another hundred meters, he began to feel a huge pressure hitting him and once again his journey slowed down. But Sam did not stop him cultivating furiously and continued. At last, it was almost noon that Sam reached the top. Above are hundreds of ravens. All the crows were as expected of Sam, a Level-1 beast. Their eyes are fiery red and their fur is like ordinary crow's feathers but the color is slightly different as they have a reddish hue on their black color. Sam finally realized what this was. They are fire crows. But according to the knowledge he learned from 'Beastuary' they shouldn't be here. That's the reason Sam didn't even think in that direction. But reality proves him wrong. 

A savage beast that was a high-class species that should not exist in this mortal realm was here. Sam finally understood one thing; he took the right path. He felt a little excited and a rare smile appeared on his face as he slowly moved towards the edge of the mouth. But the scene in front of him was not what he expected. There was a ball that shone with a spirit like a brilliant sun present in the middle of the lava pool. 

Yet another thing that surprised him was the depth of the volcano. The depth inside the volcano is very small compared to the outside. Sam almost climbed 4000 meters but inside the volcano the depth is only 500 meters. This contrast stunned him. 'If it wasn't for the heat wave from the lava pool, I would have guessed it was an illusion. Sam thought as he jumped into the mouth of the volcano and landed on a very small ledge that was barely enough for one person to stand. He took a deep breath that almost made his lungs fry. He then observed a ball that was the size of an elephant. With that brilliance it seemed like something was sleeping.

While Sam was observing the ball, at his house uninvited guests were discussing about him.

"Brother, do we really need to stay here and take it with us. He doesn't seem to like us very much." Paul asked Philip. He was a little scared to be with Sam.

"What do you think Haley?" Philip asked Haley with a smile as if he had not heard Paul at all.

"Okay Haley, calm down. I know you want to ask her to make you a dress. You don't have to make Paul nervous if you don't want to say it." Philip interrupted while laughing.

"Huh." All he got was a snort as he turned his gaze towards the paper.

"I don't think Sam is a very annoying person. I think he's just upset about something that's why he's behaving that way" Marvin said from the side.

"I think so too. Let's wait, we have nothing to do with it." Philip said as he sat down and started cultivating.

Sam was still watching the ball. After observing for so long he realized that there was a bird that seemed to be in a sleeping state. Sam understood that his thinking was correct. So, he performed the 'Myriad Beast Bloodline' technique and revised the way to make a contract. Then he began to create various hand symbols while circulating his spiritual energy according to the technique then elaborate-looking runes emerged from his glabella. 

Suddenly the bird inside the ball began to react. Then the ball became bright and the next second dimmed then a majestic-looking bird appeared. And the same complex runes emerged from the bird. And suddenly blood came from the bird and Sam simultaneously which spread along the rune. Then the runes swapped and merged into each other's bodies and disappeared. And a loud noise came from the bird. "CAWWV". All of the fire crows kowtowed as a sign of respect. Then the bird looked at Sam and he crowed again.

"Caw Caw Caw" but Sam heard something else.

"Greetings young master." This voice appeared in his mind. Which made Sam dumbfounded.
