Chapter 132.1: Becoming Stronger Together - Part 1
Amon caused a chain reaction when using the rune [Boundless Heart].
The girls opened their eyes in surprise, but when they noticed that it was an opportunity caused by Amon, they immediately closed their eyes and began to meditate while circulating the genes in their bodies evenly. By circulating the genes, stimulating their bodies, the girls felt their strength grow more and more. The opportunity caused by Amon made the medicinal bath improve twice as much.
Because of this, the entirety of the girls' bodies were in an active state. It was as if they were androids with circuits spreading throughout their bodies with mystical colors - something that normally wouldn't appear unless they used their powers to attack.
Amon was the most amazing. In addition to his veins that became visible as lightning circulated through him, there was a powerful but not harmful aura around him that was stimulating his entire body and the girls' bodies as well. This aura was like a blessing effect.
Perhaps because of the increased effectiveness of the medicinal bath, Barbara's flames became more powerful. She opened her eyes briefly before reducing the potency of her output and closed her eyes again.
Amon, feeling his strength increase, opened his eyes briefly.

A lot of genetic enhancement information appeared in Amon's retina. Seeing these things, they didn't surprise him too much, as he felt his strength building up, so he closed his eyes again.
Similar information appeared on the retina of Barbara, Ariel, Maisa and Julia. Although their aura could not be compared to Amon's, little by little the girls' auras rose around their bodies. The force grew with no sign of stopping, sometimes slowly but steadily. Around each of them, the lights were getting brighter. They were like neon lights, only in a natural coloration, like aurora borealis in purple, blue, light blue and gold. The combination of so many mystical colors that came out of their bodies made a beautiful scenario, but that wasn't what mattered most. The fact that their powers were constantly changing was something to highlight.
Even though they were taking a medicinal bath, the speed at which they were improving was abnormal. That, of course, was all thanks to Amon. The existence of Amon's aura, which was able to spur their advance, was something they had never heard or seen the like thereof before. They still remember how surprised Old Hazael was when something similar happened before him.
Time began to pass very quickly. Since the increase in gain from the medicinal bath, Barbara felt that she had barely opened and closed her eyes and it had been a long time without her noticing. As she was the one who provided the flames to keep the medicinal bath warm, she was the first to notice the weakening of the medicinal herbs.
She opened her eyes, and when she evaluated her body, she realized that she was very close to reaching level 100 of the common genes and had incredibly filled in a total of 87 fire genes.
Barbara gasped in admiration. It was unbelievable how fast she had managed to get stronger! She felt emotional, almost shedding tears of joy. Although before she didn't care so much about being strong... after she met Amon, that kind of thinking changed. Now Barbara felt a strong desire to be stronger and live much longer and be able to stay by Amon's side: a desire she never thought she would have.
For a moment she felt so emotional that she felt like smoking, but she discarded that desire. She refused to reacquire her smoking habit. The fact that she wanted to quit smoking wasn't just because she felt Amon might not like it, but also because it was a promise she made to herself.
Her eyes that were looking at the cavern ceiling changed direction and then stopped on Amon. Her heart beat faster. 'He looks so beautiful while meditating~~!'
Barbara's heart filled with sweetness. Watching Amon meditate was indeed a feast for the eyes. He was a fit and very handsome young man, but to Barbara, who was in love with him, Amon appeared to be even more handsome - as if he were the only star in the vast sky which shone brightly.
The effect was somewhat similar to eating tasty food after going days without eating. In the end, are people in love in a state of eternal hunger? Well, maybe not too far from it...
'Even if the effect has weakened, I should make the most of it.' Barbara calmed down and closed her eyes again.
It didn't take long minutes later, before Amon opened his eyes. When Amon stopped meditating, the effect he had on the others also stopped. The effect caused by the [Boundless Heart] rune was why they were still getting so many benefits. When Amon stopped, the girls also opened their eyes.
Ariel and the twins' gaze was similar to Barbara's before. Ariel mostly trembled with emotions. She longed to be powerful, powerful enough to leave her name in history.
Every step taken was an advance on her goal. Now that she was close to creating her first genetic factor, she had a beautiful smile formed on her face. It was a little different from before; it was a more genuine smile, full of happiness.
Maisa and Julia smiled and hugged each other. The fact that they grew strong so quickly was a happy reason to celebrate.
When the girls had all calmed down, Amon said to them, "There are still a lot of herbs. Let's keep training, but before that, shall we eat?"
When they heard this, the girls noticed that they did indeed feel a little hungry. Barbara's belly rumbled at the thought of food. Amon smiled a little at the cute sound that emitted from Barbara's belly, and said, "It seems that eating is the right decision. I'm going to hunt some animals. You girls can wait for me here. It will be faster if I go alone."
