Chapter 134- Miyu's Mystery (Part 2)

The first time Kai discovered this inconsistency, it made him confused. The atmosphere around the volcano and even at the peak wasn't as pure as it should've been. In fact, compared to the lake, which was way smaller in size, the purity of the atmosphere here might as well be of the worst quality.

This naturally posed the question, how is the inner part of the volcano so pure when the only trigger Kai knew of, the atmosphere, wasn't the catalyst here?

That made him spend time when he was young, researching this place and his discovery was shocking, to say the least. He discovered that deep within the volcano, somewhere under the layers and layers of lava, there was an extremely powerful source of Origin.

The source was so powerful that he couldn't even calculate how much Origin it had.

However, this discovery made Kai more curious as to what this thing that was emitting this unbelievable amount of Origin was. But, because of the circ.u.mstances at the time, he put this matter aside and eventually forgot it.

The next time he remembered it was when he saved Kaya from the Frozen Plains. At the time, she mentioned that her mission was to retrieve an object that had an extremely high amount of Origin from somewhere within that place.

This description fits perfectly what Kai discovered about this volcano. So, that made him return to the question, what was this thing?

The cat looked down at the dormant volcano hole silently for a while while Kai watched silently from the side, waiting for Miyu to do something.

'Is she sensing something?' He asked himself.

The cat kept staring down before it suddenly turned around to Kai, her beautiful, cosmic-blue eyes glittered with a beautiful light.

"What?"

"Meow…" The cat meowed before she suddenly turned around and dashed toward the hole and shockingly jumped inside.

Kai squinted his eyes before he dashed toward the cat and jumped after her. Adjusting his posture, he scooped Miyu before he created an ice ball around both of them.

*BANG*

The ball fell on the rough rock inside the volcano.

"Why did you jump her, Miyu? Are you sensing it? That source of Origin?" He asked.

"Meow!" Miyu seemed to understand as she nodded her head.

The response made Kai even more confused. He already knew that Miyu was rather an odd cat that seemed to somehow understand human language to an astonis.h.i.+ng level. But, because she was harmless and he found her pleasant, Kai didn't kick her out.

However, now with her weird behavior, he was certain that Miyu had more to hide than the eye could see.

'What kind of creature are you?' He mused.

"Meow!" Meanwhile, Miyu jumped from his arms before she started scratching the ice wall as if she wanted to go outside.

Kai stood silent for a few seconds before he sighed and opened the ice ball, allowing the cat to go wherever she wanted.

Since they were already here, he might as well see where this ends. Miyu might have the answer to the question that bothered him.

The cat jumped on the ground and ran around the hole. Since the volcano was dormant, the surface of the hole was cold and there was no source of lava.

Miyu continued running around as if she was searching for something. Her eyes looked around curiously while occasionally sniffing with her nose. Kai kept following her silently.

Eventually, the cat stopped at a particular point and looked at it intently. Kai approached her and looked at what caught her eye. But, he couldn't see anything worth the attention.

"Meow!"

Miyu then started digging with her paws. But, the rough terrain didn't allow for her to dig much so she stopped and looked up at Kai.

"You want me to dig?" He asked.

"Meow!"

Kai frowned for a second before he crouched down and channeled some Origin into the palm of his hand and then with a swift motion, he pierced the ground where Miyu was digging. Immediately, Lava started oozing out from the whole. It's fiery red color and the sound of bubbling filled the silent place.

A few droplets of lava touched Kai's skin but he was unharmed.

"Now what?" He asked the cat. At this point, he didn't even consider Miyu a pet anymore. She was a creature with a very high level of awareness and sentience.

In a sense, she reminded him of the spider queen that he found in the Frozen Plains. The difference is that Miyu seemed to be rather harmless and even affectionate, just like a normal cat.

"Meow!!" Seeing the Lava, Miyu seemed to be excited as she approached it and then shockingly touched the lava with her paw.

Kai was ready to hear a loud screech of pain from the cat. But, no such sound came. In fact, no sound came at all from the little cat.

Instead, Miyu's paw seemed to go deeper into the lava.

"What are you doing?" Kai squinted his eyes. His eyes couldn't see anything.

However, what his eyes can't see, didn't mean his senses can't. So, he spread his senses around the cat and the truth revealed itself instantly. The boy's eyes squinted.

Miyu was weirdly absorbing the Origin within the lava. Kai could clearly see the Origin moving from the Lava toward the cat's paw and then spread through her body. That alone was a huge shock. But, the next part was what made Kai truly contemplate what the h.e.l.l was going on.

Miyu's body was now getting surrounded by an Orange hue. The same Orange hue you would see in an Origin user. In other words, the cat was gaining Origin abilities right in front of his eyes.

The rate at which this process was happening was slow but it was still the reality.

"What are you even… Miyu?" Kai murmured as he sat down and watched the cat silently.

Minutes pa.s.sed quickly as the cat kept absorbing the lava. Her aura slowly went from that of a toddler to that of a 6-year-old Origin user.

The growth speed was insane, even for someone like Kai. Even he didn't have such a fast growth when he was young so seeing such a thing happen was truly a sight.

'Her body is forming Origin vascular system on the spot. How is that even possible? It's almost as if her body is doing it by memory.' Kai thought to himself. Suddenly, he realized something.

'Wait, memory? When an Origin vascular system is damaged, there are cases where the body would naturally heal those veins back into their spot by pure memory. It's rather rare but it happens. Which means…'

It was a late realization but he nonetheless reached it. A realization that might explain this abnormal occurrence.

"Miyu… Did you have Origin before this within you?" Kai asked.

The cat, who didn't answer this whole while, finally turned to look at him. Her eyes sparkled mysteriously. However, Kai could see the answer in her eyes. She was telling him that he was right on the spot.

"You're an Origin user, aren't you?" Kai's face frowned.
