Chapter: 24
He started by taking a loaf of bread out of the bag and putting it into that hole. His hand soon disappeared into the darkness underneath the tree, and Cale could feel a cold sensation as the bread in his hand disappeared.
He felt like his whole hand might be sucked in, and quickly took it out.
The darkness in the hole underneath the tree was still the same.
�If you die with a grudge, you have to resolve that grudge.�
This man-eating tree wasn�t actually a man-eating tree. It was a tree that would eat anything. It was the side effect of the power that was left behind by the person who starved to death. But for such a thing to be related to an ancient strength�it was comical, but made it seem more realistic.
�I remember it said I need to feed it until the darkness disappears.�
The darkness in the hole underneath the tree was not the result of shade. It was darkness formed by the grudge.
This could not be done with other people. One person had to continue to provide a large amount of food until the darkness disappeared. Once the darkness finally disappears, the light that was hiding underneath would appear.
Once he eats that light, the, �Indestructible Shield,� will become Cale�s.
�Eat all you want.�
Cale put the opening of the bag into the hole and emptied all of the bread into it. In a normal situation, that small hole should have become filled with bread, however, only the darkness continued to remain once Cale removed the bag.
�I guess I�ll need about ten more large bags.�
The darkness in the hole was slightly fainter than before.
Ten bags. Only someone like Cale, with 3 million gallons as allowance, could casually say such a thing.
Rumble-
An odd cry seemed to resonate from the tree. It seemed to be saying that it was hungry and asking for more food. Cale felt like the darkness might suddenly reach out and grab him.
��It is a bit scary.�
Cale quickly got up. He felt like he should not be here for a long time.
�Just what can a stupid grudge do?�
Gluttony was a scary thing.
�I�ll come back tomorrow.�
Cale said goodbye to the rumbling tree as if it was a person and exited the fenced area. Cale noticed the siblings eating the bread as soon as he entered the slums.
For someone who was claiming that he should not go there because it was a man-eating tree, they seemed to be enjoying the breads. They must be liking the flavor, because both of them seemed very happy.
