Chapter 806 - 806. Holding A Life



"I know, you are a demon and you have probably heard about demon treant species. Their forests are a place no one should go because they keep living creatures silent. But here, they are not so cruel. This in particular is a treant guardian seed." The difference was what brought confusion since most demons would have been taught or learned to avoid silent forests and that treants were brutal nature spirits. 

"This treant would normally grow and protect a forest. But if you manage to raise it well and form a contract it will protect you. This would be the ideal and it is why you are going to make sure some of your mana is in the water we pour over it before we cover it up and water it again. I know you can not control your mana so we have to do a slightly more painful process." Elise did not like this but knew that there were some tamers that always needed to use this method with their skills. 

"Because of your lack of system and contracts we will use a few drops of blood in the water. Your blood normally carries your mana and that will start to bond the treant guardian to you even without a contract. I know someone that tames living vines and this is what they need to do every single seed they plant." Elise was surprised that the demon girl never even flinched at the fact that it needed her blood. The torture of becoming some soldier must have made pain seem too small to care about. 

The large barrel of water nearby was enough for what they were doing and enough to make sure that the treant would be fed for some time after it was planted. "Here, take this small dagger and drop three drops of blood in to the barrel. Then we will pour a bucket of that over the egg and cover it with dirt. While you do that I will tell you about treant skills and how you would feed them after they grow." The demon girl was already hard at work without Elise pushing her to do so. Elise wished that the girl had been more open to tell her some things about herself and what life she had lived before. 

Elise winced as the few drops pf blood fell in to the water. This was a method that she didn\'t personally like but knew it was important for some monsters to bond with tamers. "This guardian treant is known for the large size it can grow to. It is very durable and will be slow in contrast. Other than That it can also control vines and leave from its own body to attack. They will blow in the breeze one moment then turn to steel at another. This is what makes them dangerous in a forest. They blend in with the trees then can attack those harming the forest without them knowing." 

There had been many stories of someone cutting down acres of forest only to be attacked by surprise by a treant. It was just the way things would go if people did not respect nature properly. "Normally treants are very weak to fire and water elemental attacks, well ice elemental attacks. This is normal since they are just like plants. However, there is a difference. While most plants go dormant in winter a treant of adult size will not. It can still move and attack but loses about half its strength. On the other hand, when a treant meets a forest fire and can not put it out, it burns itself so that its body will help bring back the forest. Treants often store seeds within their bark for this reason." 

Elise was proud of her knowledge and watched as the demon girl absorbed it all while she finished covering the egg. "And now, you will wait for it to spout after pouring another bucket over it. This treant should be able to walk from this spot in a month. That means in this month you need to protect it. Strong rain? You are here covering it from the wind. Snow? You push the snow aside. Heat wave? You are shading it and watering it appropriately. You are now responsible for the growth of this life." Elise walked away leaving the demon girl there to fully accept this. 

The tactic of leaving the tamer with their young tamed monster was commonly used for tamers that awaken at a young age or ones that need to feel the weight of taking care of another being. In the end, it often brought the tamed monster closer to the tamer because the two had more personal bonding time. It also made the tamer more knowledgeable on what their specific tamed monster is like. 

"I hope she is able to tame it. She already learned what I know and everything else will be from herself." Elise was a little worried but had decided that she would remain here for that month and send a letter explaining the circumstances. She couldn\'t leave a young tamer alone.
