Female Novel
Chapter 112
Gravis hugged Skye and looked at its parent. "Are you sure?"
Gravis wasn't sure, but he believed that he had seen the parent nod. It wanted Skye to go with Gravis because tempering forbeasts was nearly as important as for humans. They might not have a Will-Aura, but their combat experience was essential tothem, even more than for humans. If beasts wanted strength, they needed to eat beasts or humans at the same level as them, orhigher.
Without combat experience, they wouldn't be able to keep up with their peers, and their inherent want for strength would eitherkill them or disappear. Some beasts, like the low-grade demonic beast tiger or the centipede, had already fled the wilderness tobe an overlord in a weak area. Their want for strength had been suppressed by their fear for the other, stronger beasts.
Making Skye follow him was also a risk for the parent bird. That was why it had hesitated for a long while. Yet, if it always keptSkye under its wing, Skye would never surpass its parent. It had to find its own path to strength, just like Gravis.
"Scree!" the parent shouted, and Skye went to it. They both rubbed their heads together, and after some minutes, the parentopened its wings and flew into the distance. It would not return to the tree anymore. This particular area was just too dangerous,and it had to find another spot to nest.
Skye released some last caws as it saw its parent flying away. Gravis saw that Skye was troubled with its parent leaving, so hejumped onto its head and scratched it some more. Skye ignored Gravis for a while but relaxed after a while. It was in a beast'snature to leave their parent at some point and find their own way. A goodbye was easier for them than for humans.novelbin
"Skye, we should leave, too," Gravis said. Skye was very smart, and it started understanding more and more of Gravis’ words inthe last couple of days. Skye jumped and started flying in the air, circling the tree one last time, before it shot off into thedistance.
BZZT!
Gravis shot a weak bolt of lightning into a specific direction. "Let's go!" he shouted, and Skye answered him with a caw. Theythen flew into the horizon, leaving the tree behind.
Why was Gravis not worried about his karmic luck affecting Skye? If he hadn't talked a lot with Orpheus and his father beforeleaving, he would have definitely declined Skye's company. Orpheus had explained to him a lot about karmic luck, and that hadalso included beasts.
Gravis had still been confused back then and had also asked his father about Orpheus’ words. After talking with his father, Gravisfinally understood. Heaven's goal of gathering Energy only involved humans. Beasts, for some reason, didn't help Heaven ingathering Energy. Gravis was a little confused about that, but his father told him that he would explain more about that whenGravis reached sufficient strength.
Yet, why did beasts exist in the first place, if they didn't help Heaven in achieving its goal? The answer was that beasts wereuseful to Heaven for different reasons. Gravis still remembered the sentence that his father had said when Gravis asked him whybeasts even existed.
"They're cultivation resources and tempering tools for humans," was what his father had said to him.
If there were only strong humans around, then the humans would have to kill each other to temper their wills. That would reducethe number of humans achieving higher realms. In Heaven's eyes, humans were its crop, and beasts were the humans’ fertilizer.
For all those reasons, Heaven didn't bestow any karmic luck to beasts. All beasts were equal in its eyes, or more like, equallyunimportant. If two beings met with the same amount of karmic luck, then there would be no inherent advantage or disadvantagefor either of them. Only the stronger one would survive.
Yet, if normal humans met stronger beasts, they would often survive, due to luck. With their inherent karmic luck, humans had aslight advantage over beasts, yet this whole advantage was destroyed by the beasts’ inherent supremacy regarding physicalstrength. Of course, Gravis had never experienced any of this luck when he had fought beasts previously.
Yet, Gravis didn't mind that so much since luck could carry one only so far in a fight. Nearly no beast could be considered asheltered greenhouse flower since they had to fight other beasts on their level to upgrade their strength. In comparison, therewere a lot of humans with lacking battle experience.
When a human and a beast on the same level fought, the beast would have the advantage in power, defense, speed, stamina,and often also battle experience. The humans only had their luck and intellect as an advantage, and without sufficient battleexperience, it was difficult to make use of one's intellect.
That was why it was only considered safe to hunt a beast if the human was a minor realm higher than it. Gravis knew all this,thanks to Orpheus and his father, and, therefore, knew that his karmic luck would not impact Skye since it also had no inherentkarmic luck. They were both abandoned by Heaven, which also made Gravis feel a kind of kinship to Skye, similar to his familymembers.

Finally, he could fly, even if it was not due to his own strength. "Skye, do some tricks!" Gravis shouted. Skye didn't understandthe word "tricks", but it heard Gravis’ excitement. His excitement affected Skye, and it started crazily flying through the air, fullydemonstrating its agility.
