The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

Chapter 155 The Guardian Of Forest



After some time, Rishi separated. He looked at her and asked, "Who are you?"

She smiled and stroked Rishi's head gently and said, "I am Mother."

A joyful expression appeared on Rishi's face as he asked, "Are you my mother? But my father told me she has passed away."

She said in a sweet and soothing voice, "I am the mother of all creatures of this world."

Rishi nodded and asked, "Then are you Mother Nature?"

The woman laughed before stopping and saying, "I can't be compared to her; I am just her servant."

"I don't care who you are for me; you are like my mother, and even gods are below my mother in my eyes," said Rishi.

When the woman looked at the cute boy trying to comfort her, she pinched his cheek and said, "Don't talk about beings you don't know anything about."

Rishi nodded while rubbing his red cheek. He asked, "Have I seen you before? I don't remember, but you feel closer to me."

A beautiful smile appeared on her lips. "You might not know since you were very young at that time, but your father brought a baby one day and asked me to bless him."

"I refused him," she said with a straight face before continuing, "You were that baby."

Rishi was surprised by it that his father dared to ask a deity to bless his child; he didn't feel sad that she didn't bless him as it was what was expected. "But your dad was very much not someone who would give up so easily; he already knew about it, so he had come prepared, and he used the wish that I granted him to adopt you as my son."

'I can't believe dad really did that,' thought Rishi.

She said, "I accepted you as my own child, but I didn't give you any blessings then either."

Rishi was filled with various emotions; he hugged her again and said, "I don't need any blessings; what I needed was a mother; why hadn't you contacted me before? You know how lonely I was."

She rubbed his back. "It was not that I didn't want to meet you; I was bound by laws. I can't directly interfere in other people's lives, so I waited till today when you are able to sense nature's energy."

"I concentrated it and nurtured your consciousness so I could meet you. As for the blessing part, its not that I didn't want to bless you, but I have to follow the laws of nature. I saw what you did, how you survived every challenge."

"You have filled all the criteria for receiving a blessing for me. I usually only give low-level blessings, but to you, my son, I will give you the highest grade blessing, which I can give only to one person. Despite being your mother, I was helpless and bound by laws, but they can't be the reason for me not to meet you."

"It is my fault for not being capable; you would not have faced so many atrocities if I had met you sooner," said the woman in a sad tone.

No, it was not your fault, Mother," said Rishi as he tightly clenched to her, "If you didn't care about me, you would have not come today. I know that despite you explaining it simply, it would not have been that easy for you to meet me."

She rubbed Rishi's back and said, "Don't worry my child; I have come now. We will now be able to meet frequently."

"You may have been curious about me, so I will tell you more about me," she said, and Rishi started to listen to her carefully.

"I am Mother Arin, the Gaudian of the Forest, also known as the Spirit of the Forest. I can sense every tree and plant in this world; my main work is to maintain a balance in the forest and protect the "Tree of Life." "

"Protect from whom—humans or wild beasts?" asked Rishi.

"From demons and demonic beasts," replied Arin.

"Why do these demons and demonic beasts want to destroy the Tree of Life?" asked Rishi.

The mother laughed, "It's not in their power to destroy the Tree of Life; they just come when the Tree transfers all the energy stored inside it into Earth's core and is at its weakest for a week."

"Do you know why the size of Earth increases in the fifty-year period where all of Earth feels earthquakes, storms, and rain?" asked Arin.

Rishi thought for a while, It was called a natural calamity that takes place once every fifty years. It started in the year 2060 and has continued till now year 2,350.

"Don't tell me it all happens due to the earth transforming, but if it is that important, then why doesn't humanity assist you?" asked Rishi.

"It is because it requires sacrifices and no one wants to do it for free. At first, it was easy, but as time passed, the Demons were able to send stronger soldiers, while it was getting harder and harder for me to defend myself."

"The demons last time were not only stronger, but they were also cunning; they tried to bait me to leave the tree many times, but I was somehow able to defend the tree."

"I realized that day that no matter how strong I am, I couldn't defeat them myself, so I started looking for creatures that would join me. I became their god and blessed their race in exchange for them signing a pact with me to help me."

"I created my own army of the monsters and races that pray to me, but even after that, I was just barely able to defend the Tree of Life. I started blessing humans then, but humans are different from other races."

"It is very hard to figure out what's going on inside their heads; I first observe and take tests before giving my blessing. The downfall of this process is that it takes very much time, due to which I asked my followers to create their clans."

"I now have 100 clans under me," she said.

"Don't tell me the Rawat Clan is one of them," said Rishi.

"No, the clans I have under my belt are not as big and strong as the Rawat Clan. Your clan's deity is someone stronger than me."

"What would happen if you failed to defend one time?" asked Rishi; he didn't know why he asked—was he curious or did he care about her?

She laughed before saying, "Nothing would happen to the world as other Guardians would interfere, but I would be punished and even constantly bullied."

Rishi sighed before saying, "Don't worry, Mother; I will get strong enough to assist you. I will see who punishes my mother in front of me."

Arin laughed before she said, "Forget about it; you just focus on getting stronger and enjoying your life. I will take care of my matters myself."

Rishi didn't say anything after it, but he decided in his head that he would help Arin when he got stronger.

She suddenly separated from Rishi and kissed his forehead before saying, "I can't remain any longer; we will talk again."

"Wait, Mother," Rishi tried to protest with tears in her eyes, but he calmed down and helped himself when he saw that she was gone. Suddenly a smile appeared on his face; today he was very happy.
