Almighty Summoner System

Ban did not care about the turtle's feelings. It was not because he was heartless, but because he knew for a fact that even if it did manage to consume the fruit- which was unlikely- its effects would also be wasted on it.

In a sense, the Yellow Armored Turtles have already reached and dried their potential. Just like what the System said, it's already impossible for them to rank up or grade up. Even if it did manage to consume the fruit, it would only make the turtle a little smarter, wasting the potential of such a fruit.

Ban ignored the fierce glare of the turtle as he walked towards it again. 

The closer he got, the intense the fear the turtle was feeling at the moment. It was only a Normal Grade X-Mortal Rank Beast, so the effects of the Ant Mask and the Noble Moth Cloak was two times more intense than what those at the F-Apprentice Rank was feeling. 

The fierce and demon-like eye of the Ant Mask paired with the noble aura of the Noble Moth Cloak, the turtle was already on the verge of jumping off the tree to escape. However, it didn't want to waste the opportunity so it gritted its teeth while trying to glare at Ban as intensely as possible. 

The turtle's eyes were already red at this moment as it endured the pressure that kept on increasing the closer Ban approached it. Mist had already formed at the corner of its eyes but it was still unwilling to give. 

At this moment, Ban was already right under the tree. The Purmi Fruit and the Yellow Armored Turtle were just above him and a little jump would be required to plush the fruit. 

He looked up and was amused upon seeing that the turtle was still there, hugging the branch tightly, as if afraid that it would fall. Streams of water were already running below its now red eyes as it was still trying to glare at Ban as fiercely as possible to shoo him away. 

Alas, how could Ban fall for such antics? 

The effects of the Ant Mask and the Noble Mothe Cloak were already more than enough to neutralize the turtle. It might be glaring at him at this moment, but he knew that it would not be able to move due to fear, especially when it was a timid kind of Beast in the first place.

Using a light force, Ban's body shoots upwards, instantly arriving in front of the Purmi Fruit and the immobilized turtle. He grabbed one of the branches above them, before he moved the turtle to the side. 

The Purmi Fruit was a violet colored fruit the size of a fist. There were a lot of curly lines on the surface of the fruit and it was a little hairy. 

After staring at it for a bit, Ban no longer wasted any time as he grabbed it with his free hand. Using the method given by the System or the Book of Techniques, he did not immediately pull it away as it might damage the fruit instead. 

Instead, he used a soft approach, and softly rotated the fruit clockwise. After two repetitions, he then pulled it very softly, as if he was pulling something very delicate. 

Click!

The moment Ban heard the click, he knew that it was already the time. Contrary to his delicate approach earlier, Ban actually used some of his force, to forcefully yank the Purmi Fruit away from its stem. 

A smile surfaced on Ban's face under the Ant Mask after seeing the successful harvest.

Before he released his hands from the branch, Ban took a look at the turtle again.

With how close he was, one could only imagine what kind of terror the turtle was experiencing right now. 

In fact, the moment Ban jumped in front of it, it already lost its earlier courage. The fierce glare from earlier has already disappeared, and was now replaced by a panic-stricken expression. In fact, the turtle now wanted to flee but could not, due to the fear it was feeling right now. 

Heck, if it has pants, the saying, 'peed on his pants due to fear' would be extremely fitting to the turtle's current expression. 

Ban actually took pity at the turtle at this moment. Ban thought for a moment before he grabbed the turtle, bringing it down along with him. 

He landed with a thud and immediately placed the turtle in the ground. 

The turtle steeled itself and managed to change its in-born attitude inherited from its predecessors that was deeply engraved on its genes.

Ban admired the turtle for it, and although it still failed to accomplish its goal in the end. He thought that it still deserved a reward. 

Hence, he planned on sharing the Purmi Fruit to it as it was also the reason for its desperate change. 

Ban took a small knife from the Dimensional Storage Ring provided by Kuys, and placed it above the skin of the Purmi Fruit. 

Ban narrowed his eyes and 'zoomed' in his sight towards the surface of the Purmi Fruit's skin.

A moment later, a smile appeared on Ban's face after he discovered the thin dark lines that coiled around the Purmi Fruit. 

This thin dark line was precisely the weakness of the Purmi Fruit. The lines were so thin and unnoticeable that even Ban, who was already at the E-Elite Rank only managed to spot it after gazing at it very seriously.

With his mind in full concentration, Ban traced the thin dark lines using the sharp tip of the small knife he took earlier. 

With Ban's precision, the sharp tip of the knife was able to trace the thin lines easily, a trail of white followed behind it.

After two minutes, the tip of his small knife finally connected on the spot where he started tracing it earlier. The moment it connected, as if a key was inserted and turned to unlock something, the Purmi Fruit actually started falling apart like many cubes towards the plate that Ban hastily prepared. 

A smile surfaced on his face yet again, and using the knife, he pierced one of the now cube fruit and offered it towards the turtle. 

"Here, it's yours!"
