Chapter 1864: Back To The Village

Once we arrived back at the tribe, we saw that everyone was safe. Aside from a few tents that ended falling apart due to the tremors, there wasn't anything life threatening. Yggdra had grown her branches and created a really good barrier, even if she was in her Manifestation form and not using her real body.
However, Yggdra can't just be here all the time, we'll need her healing, buffs, and strength later. So I was planning on planting another Lesser Yggdrasil here. Though I wonder if it will subsist with the miasma and chaos or it will die off?
Maybe if I make it differently and special? I could probably change how it works and exists if I imbue my Chaos Divine Particles into it and do some synthesis with other materials here and there...
And maybe with the help of our newest catch's materials as well! Yeah, I guess we could work with that.
"Oh, you've arrived!"
"Chief and the warriors from outside!"
"We heard the monster screaming, it was dying!"
"C-Chief, did you fell the creature?!"
The entire tribe in this place gathered around us, with hopeful eyes.
"Kireina." The chief said.
"On it. Everyone, please make way... thank you." I said, as everyone quickly moved aside as I unleashed a gentle shockwave with my Aura, and then I quickly placed the gigantic corpse of the monster over the floor.
BAAAAAMMMM!!!
The entire tribe gasped. Their eyes shining brightly. They screamed in shock.
"T-The long-necked devil!"
"They had felled the long-necked devil!!!"
"I-It is dead?! It is really dead?!"
"Has the death of my husband has finally been avenged?!"
"Mom, they killed it!"
"I saw... It is incredible... This invincible monster, was killed!"
"Everyone, hear me well. Alone, I would had never been able to do it." The chief said. "It was thanks to Kireina and her allies that we were able to defeat it! But I also sensed the soul of our fallen comrades, our husbands, our children, your wives... I feel them within me, as I struck that monster down with the last blow. They have been avenged, everyone!"
"WOOOOOOHHH!"
The Jath-hu celebrated; they gathered around us to ask us how we did it. Some swiftly brought all they had and offered it to us. A big feast began, mostly made up of fruits, seeds, and only dried meat. The sound of their unique tribal music echoed in the background.
After a little while, I started butchering the beast in front of everybody with Silva's help. Thanks to her newest Skill [Manifestation] she was able to manifest herself through her powers and reveal a "true" form, which resembled an adorable little girl with long silver metallic hair, silver eyes, and white as pale skin.
Her silver hair wrapped around her body making some sort of dress. And she looked utterly adorable! Like a doll! She was small, around the same size as a tiny baby girl. Probably the size of a two to three years old girl.
"Mama, do you want me to help butcher it?" She asked.
"Yeah, let's do it together." I said, holding with me Aquamarine turned into a knife. "It is too big after all."
I could do the dismantle in the Item Box, but it was much more enjoyable for the people around us to see the entire butchering process. It would also allow me to kill time and find what I am trying to get out of this corpse.
"Alright!" She said, suddenly, her tiny hands turned into liquid metal and then shaped themselves into long knives. She quickly utilized her knife arts, cooking arts, and sharpness enhancement to quickly slice through the entire beast rapidly and skillfully.
The skin, scales, bones, everything slowly began being separated. I had to move fast as well with Aquamarine on his knife form, barely catching up with her at times, but she was so fast and lethal, and tiny, that it was almost impossible!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!
Once everything was over, which took around five minutes, the entire beast was dismantled. From bones to skin to scales to organs to meat, and claws and fangs. And above all, I found what I wanted, a big, car-sized Magic Crystal of an S+ Rank Chaos Elder Dragon!
It was shiny and wonderful, overflowing with large quantities of energy, especially chaos, miasma, nether, and a bit of cosmic energy mixed into everything, and crystallized beautifully. It also had a small Cosmic Shard.
"Dear, here~" I called Frank who was busy preparing stuff for the food.
"Oh, t-there's a Cosmic Shard?! Thanks! I didn't sense it? It was small." He said in surprise.
"Yep but all counts, right?" I asked. "Is your soul feeling better by the way?"
"Y-Yeah, much better." He smiled gently. "Thank you for taking care of me the last days and for your kindness... I will never forget it." He said lovingly.
"Aww, come on! You're going to make me embarrassed now!" I sighed, giving him a head pat.
"D-Don't give me head-pats, I am not a kid." He sighed, crossing his arms while blushing.
"Hehe, sorry. I know you're a very grown-up young man." I teased him, giving him a wink.
"A-Anyways, what are you planning to do with that?" He wondered, trying to not get any redder with my words.
"Oh, this? I'm going to make a little insurance for this place. We won't be here to protect them all the time, so I want to leave some sort of guardian." I said with a smile. "Something that can also turn their tribe into a sanctuary."
"A sanctuary?" Frank wondered curiously.
"Mama, is he papa?" Wondered Silva.
"P-Papa again?" Frank asked shocked. He was surprised by how cute Silva looked in her Manifestation form. "W-Well, if you want to... You can call me papa." He sighed, giving her a head pat.
"Papaaaa!" Silva spread into countless of metallic tentacles and wrapped around Frank, so heavy that he ended falling into the ground.
CLANK!
"Ouch! Ouch! S-Silva you're too heavy! Let papa go please!" He cried.
"Papa tell me a fairy tale!" Silva said.
"Fufu, you two are getting along well I suppose." I giggled. "Now, let's begin with my experiment."
Ding!
