《Soul Cultivator Journey》


 #1 : Little Girl asking for help

    Author Said : this is my very first story, and I''m not native so please bear with it. Of course every critics and suggestion were needed for my improvement. So, dont hold back okay~


    Enjoy~


    Cultivator. In the world where the strong dancing and the weak crying made cultivator become figure everyone look up to. Everyone wants to become one but not all of them qualified to become strong cultivator. And even less became legend. There is many ways to learn cultivation technique. First, you can learn from the book but of course you need to pay not little money to learn worthy technique. If it¡¯s just some crappy technique, you can get it everywhere except only it¡¯s not worth it. Second, you can join institution like sect or academy that will provide technique, weapon, and cultivation resources.


    At least on gregweiss continent, there are four great cultivation institutions. Void shadow sect, Sword Glint sect, Hidden Lake Sect, and Qureian Academy. The Four Institutions are Lord of Southern Domain, Northern Domain, Eastern Domain and Western Domain respectively. There isn¡¯t any institution in central of continent.


    But there is a city named Imperial Tree City. The reason it¡¯s called that because majestic oak tree rooted on the very center of continent so when city was built there, it¡¯s a must to keep a word ¡°Tree¡±. With height of 3700 m, and a lot of cultivation resource in and on the oak tree, make the oak tree and its surrounding flourish with living things like forest and magical beasts and become target for some greedy people. Because of that, powerful cultivator from another continent decide to made a city and make Oak Tree as cultivation base that will be opened every year.


    Greigwess Continent was but small continent surrounding larger continent called Bologos continent whose cultivation resources more plentiful compared with gregweiss so the people on that continent had plentiful strong cultivator. Of course it is not for magnanimity, but they are doing that merely because they don¡¯t want to let young cultivator dragged by old one who¡¯s had nothing on their head but greediness. So the four great institutions can¡¯t do a thing except just quietly agree.


    Go back to the four great institutions. These four had their own technique and foundation, so it rather hard to tell who is the strongest. But from popularities, Qureian Academy was the most popular because out of the four, Qureian Academy was the grandeurs.


    Well, even though my grandson know how to learn cultivation technique, He wouldn¡¯t have money to go there (LOL).


    Vein started to pop up on the youngster forehead. But he knew that his grandpa were like that, so he ignores it and started to continue reading his grandpa note.


    Based on what I know, cultivation ranks consist of: Elementary < Absorbing < Condensation< Linking < Towering < Fusion < Immortal


    From Elementary rank until linking rank consists of Ten Level. Towering Consist four phase: Initial phase, middle phase late phase, Final phase. Fusion Consist of Three phase: Fusion with Body, Fusion With the soul, Fusion With the world. The Last Rank, Immortal. It is too far off for that brat so I didn¡¯t write it here.


    The youngster felt shock run through his body after reading that.


    ¡®So to become Immortal is really hard. I¡¯m too na?ve. I still dreaming of myself flying while carrying a lot of money while shouting ¡°I¡¯M IMMORTAL¡± on my dream¡¯


    Every single cultivator goal was to be immortal being. Of course it was hard thing to do so only couple of people manages to reach that realm. For the past 500 years, no one ever reach that realm anymore.


    The youngster started to read again but there is nothing He doesn¡¯t know or worth mentioning, so he skipped some of explanations and closed the book while letting out light sigh.


    ¡®What the heck am I thinking? It¡¯s already hard for me to keep living, let alone to become strong cultivator. I¡¯m just wasting my time reading that note. Well, it is not a rare sight to see 100 hundred years old man still alive and kicking so I still have a lot of time¡¯


    Putting the carefully as if it¡¯s great treasure he had ever onto the black box on the table and close the lid,  the youngster start to drag himself to the bed. Within his line of sight, wooden roof that miraculously not collapsed protect him from bright on the day and rain on rainy day. His room were rather dark because it already almost midnight. Look away from roof to his room, there is wooden wall, wooden table, wooden chair and a small stone lamp. From this alone, everyone will know that the youngster not that rich of person. Actually, calling him poor would be appropriate.


    The youngster, 13 years old Yuwan Reizem who¡¯s his family name even Yuwan not know live in fruit village on the corner of gregweiss continent, western domain.


    In Fruit Village, his Grandpa, Syubi Reizem, was infamous for his medical and his technique. Even though his cultivation base was not that great, his technique for repelling curse, charm, and laid protective barrier was first class at least in the village. No one knew what kind of technique that can be laid by such low cultivator. Yuwan sometimes ask his grandpa the reason for that, but his grandpa always reply with ¡® It is okay for you to learn ¡®cause there is no harmful feedback will happen to you so you don¡¯t need to worry¡¯ while smiling. Even someone from connecting cultivation base whose city lord at doesn¡¯t know how.


    ¡®But grandpa always remind me to help those in need without grumping and said that its vocal point that shouldn¡¯t neglected¡¯


    Even though he never said it, Yuwan always felt grateful toward his grandpa. Raising him by himself, teaching him how to life proper life without grumping. Teaching him his technique, said that curse came from the soul, charm came from the mind, barrier came from chant and cultivation base. His grandpa even teaches him cultivation technique, even though it didn¡¯t increase Yuwan cultivation that much.


    While reminisce Grandpa Syubi, his eyelids that had been close until now slowly opened. If there is another person in this room, that person won¡¯t see anything. Even insect won¡¯t come to his house. Don¡¯t know why though.


    ¡°You over there, what are looking at? Why are standing there for? Do you need something?¡±


    He said that while still looking at the roof. He felt there is someone behind the wall, standing without doing anything. He did not feel worry because he doesn¡¯t fell malicious intent came from that person. Of course with his somewhat worrying cultivation base, there is no way he would felt someone without seeing. It came from his technique regarding soul given by his grandpa.


    Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.


    Strong cultivator won¡¯t his/her soul discerned that easily, but it is different matter if it is a wandering soul.


    Wandering soul is a soul from deceased person. When someone dies, his soul will come out from his body. On religion, the deceased soul would be judged and then thrown to hell or sent to heaven. Regarding this matter, Yuwan already asked his grandpa whether its truth or not, he said that it¡¯s the truth. Except for special case when someone still has something to do in the world, or cultivator who can preserve his/her soul after dead.


    After Yuwan asking and there is no respond, he got up while eyeing the wall. To his surprise, the one who kept looking at him were a child. 6 years old girl. She is floating while kept looking at him without blinking. Her golden twintail hair and white one-piece dress keep fluttering without wind.  After confirming that Yuwan looking at her properly, she nodded her head satisfied.


    Yuwan don¡¯t know why she is looking satisfied when he look at her properly. But he kept silent because maybe the girl want him to say something.


    ¡®Big brother, you can see me right? Can you hear me too?¡¯


    ¡°Yeah, I can hear you. Do you need something kid?¡±


    He didn¡¯t realize that actually, he is still considered as a kid considering he is still 13 year old.


    ¡®Yes, a-a-actually. I want to tell you¡­ something¡­¡¯


    She said that while keeps fidgeting. Her cute little sound trembling a little because of nervous. From her face, she seemed to be struggled whether to tell him or not. But suddenly she sake her tiny head and replace her hesitant expression with determined face.


    At this time, unease starting to creep on his heart while cold sweat start to appear on his forehead but because she is still hasn¡¯t finish speaking, he keep his uneasiness while waiting.


    ¡®Actually, I want tell big brother. I ¡­ I ¡­ ¡®


    ¡®I saw really strong cultivator came to the village. When I followed them out of curiosity, I ¡­ I heard them saying


    something about ordered by their boss to come here. But¡­ they didn¡¯t say anything further and kept smiling evilly. Big brother! Please do something! I don¡¯t want villager to be hurt because of evil people! Big brother, please!¡¯


    Complete silent.


    After a brief of moment, sigh of relief come out from his mouth. Because it is not something he expects to be.


    Whatever it is, he don¡¯t want to say it even if force to. Because he already throw his pride away to keep scraping money doing little job over here and there even though his grandpa never ask for money while helping their neighbor.


    But of course their neighbor won¡¯t mind it, but he is.


    ¡®Why am I relief for, there is no way I ever think that such a little girl will¡­¡¯


    With his little pride left, it would crumble right away if he admit that he did ever think of such a thing so he didn¡¯t finish his sentence and then control his thought while processing what the little girl said.


    ¡°Wait, what do you mean by that? Evils People?¡±


    ¡®Yes! Evil people, please help big brother! I¡¯m grown up in this village so I don¡¯t want the villagers to hurt!¡¯


    ¡°Do you know what things that these people brought are?¡±


    ¡®There are a lot of weapons, and something I didn¡¯t know. Oh, they brought a lot of money too! One of these people said that to use the money to bribe maids and patrol guards. I don¡¯t know whose maids and patrol guards he referring to.¡¯


    Hearing the word weapons, Yuwan doesn¡¯t fell much interest toward it so his lazy demeanors change into almost fall asleep demeanor. But when hearing the word ¡®money¡¯, his back straight up suddenly while serious expression has shown on his face.


    ¡°Tell me in detail¡±


    It¡¯s not like Yuwan didn¡¯t care about villager safety, but it just that you don¡¯t need to be so serious as long as you understand the content and remember it. So he didn¡¯t show it even though he¡¯s taking it seriously from the beginning.


    But after hearing the word money, that seriousness change into tragedy matter. He cannot help it. Money was sacred word among poor people so when he heard ¡®money¡¯ and ¡®bribe¡¯ he becomes rather furious.


    ¡®They dare to use a lot of money to do evil things while I¡¯m here struggling just to keep living! Unforgivable! ¡¯


    After asking for the little girl about the matter in detail, they kept talking until midnight before the little girl went to the


    ¡°evil people¡± in case something important happened.


    The little girl went off and the room becomes silent once more. Moonlight shone onto the room from the window and fall onto the silent youngster that sitting on his bed. After a while, he laid his body to the bed. But his eye not closed. At that time, serious expression can be seen by the moonlight. He kept his eye open while thinking of something.


    No one¡¯s know what he is thinking at that time but faint smile start to creep up on his face and it grew wider and wider until it become wicked grin before he close his eye and start to sleep.


    In fruit village on the very corner of greigweiss continent, on western domain, something started to change. Every villager, except Yuwan Reizem, no one expect something major will happen.

 #2 : Reaper Phenomenon

    Author Note : Helo Helo~ Drazt Here


    Anyway, here is chapter 2 for you~ Enjoy it to the fullest okay~


    Oh yeah, please comment your thought about my story okay~


    it will be a great help You know~


    Enjoy~


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    Chapter 2


    On grassy plain at certain location, little boy walk while humming. On his little innocent face, huge smile plastered as an old man following him from behind gentle smile appeared on his wrinkled face as he see his grandson happy expression.


    ¡°Grandpa~ Hurry up! You said that you cure auntie Dira right? What will happen if you late to cure her!? ¡°


    ¡°You are worry about her but your expression say differently. Why you are so happy anyway?¡±


    The grandpa can¡¯t help but ask his grandson. Yes, they are granpa-grandson pair. The old man were known figure among villager in fruit village. Their house not located at fruit village so they need to walk for some time before finally arrived. But it is the first time he brought along the little brat. He is just a kid so by brought him along won¡¯t the old man at all so he never brought him all along.


    The name of the kid is Yuwan Reizem, with his grandpa called syubi reizem.


    Syubi teach all of his knowledge to Yuwan. Chant, plant, how to make medicine, etc. They are all but simple knowledge without difficult term and technique. And Yuwan never practice it on real person so by just tagging along, he felt excited because he would see how to cure someone else.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Yuwan, it is not like I feel like you are not useful even though you are tagging along. Okay, that is one of the reasons. But that is not the point. You are not ready. You are still weak mentally.¡±


    ¡°What are saying, grandpa!? I¡¯m already ¡°almost¡± six years old you know! And what do you mean by ¡°weak mentally¡± huh!?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t¡¯ be proud just because you are already 5 years old idiot. You will know what I¡¯m trying to say when we get there¡±


    Syubi didn¡¯t say anything anymore while ignoring Yuwan rant. He can¡¯t explain it, or more like he don¡¯t know how to explain him.


    But when these two pair arrived at auntie Dira house, Yuwan babbling mouth suddenly stop moving. Why? Because there is ¡°spirit¡± on top of auntie dira¡¯s body. Actually, that¡¯s not rare sight for little Yuwan. Since young, he could see wandering spirit all over the place. But this one was different. Usually, wandering spirits had the same characteristic even though they always had different emotion. Sad, happy, despair, angry, jealous, confuse, etc always end up look like normal living being in the end. But, clearly unknown existence shrouded by pure darkness was hugging auntie Dira on top of her laying unmoving body.


    ¡°Hiiiii!!!!¡±


    ¡°See? I told you. That is why I never brought you along this entire time but because you are really stubborn so I decide to show it to you¡±


    Yuwan, cannot hear his grandpa lazy voice at all. Even though he heard him, he can¡¯t reply. Shriek is the only thing that came out of his mouth. His fear rose to the highest level he had ever feel.


    Hearing little kid shriek, the evil spirit suddenly changes his line of sight into its source of voice.


    Yuwan horror face and evil spirit black-red glowing eyes stare at each other. His fear emotion somewhat excite the evil spirit.


    All of sudden, Auntie Dira somewhat deep and remorseful voice rung on his mind.


    ¡®It¡¯s their fault¡­ Why it is end up like this? ... I don¡¯t care anymore¡­I¡¯m Sorry¡¯


    Her voice somewhat filled with hatred, sorrow, give up and the last one¡­


    Regret


    At this time, Yuwan body shook. Evil spirit excited on his non-existent face started to change vigorously as if it see something really precious. Seeing this, Syubi Reizem had shock plastered on his face. But it is just only a moment before it changes into seriousness. His hand hastily made incantation gesture while his mouth moves rapidly as chanting mysterious spell.


    Barrier!


    Faint glow started appear on yuwan little body. Seeing this, he didn¡¯t stop but increase his speed even further preparing for the next step.


    He just need 2 second of breath before finishing his chant and started to focus on Yuwan soul. But at that moment, he feel dread because yuwan¡¯s soul was too scared to the point it is just like giving his emotion away to the evil spirit.


    Evil spirit was peculiar existent. If someone doesn¡¯t have ill emotion, they made them have it and make it grow within the person heart. But if someone, have that at the first place. They just need to eat. But because if they eat it all they won¡¯t have something to eat, so they always stimulate their emotions so when it grow, the will crop it out. But if it growing without restrain like yuwan case, yuwan soul will be shrouded and eaten by evil spirit entirely and possibly end up as empty shell without a soul.


    ¡°Idiot!!, Get a hold of yourself!!¡±


    A this time, Syubi starting to regret his decision by bringing him along. But, this is not a time for that, so he kept shouting while calling yuwan.


    Inside Yuwan sea of consciousness, he is crouching while shaking from head to toe.


    ¡®No¡­ Grandpa, help me¡­ I¡¯m scared¡­¡±


    Darkness shrouded his surroundings. Not a single sound can be heard except for his weak little sobbing.


    At this time.


    ¡°Yuwan! Get a hold of yourself! I¡¯m here, so don¡¯t be scared okay!¡±


    Hearing this, rather than stopping his sobbing, he cries even louder.


    ¡°Grandpa¡­(hic) help¡­me¡­¡±


    Syubi didn¡¯t saying anything anymore, but suddenly little light started to appear in yuwan sea of consciousness. It grew brighter, and brighter until it eats every darkness they see.


    (chirp-chirp)


    ¡°ugh~¡±


    Within small and crude house, 13 years old Yuwan woke up from his deep sleep. From his messy hair, sweat on his body, and little tears on the corner of his eyes, you can tell that he just experience nightmare.


    ¡°S**t, it¡¯s just a dream. Getting a nightmare at this old is somewhat embarrassing. And why the heck I recalled that time again?¡±


    He slowly gets up from his bed while scratching his head grumping along the way.


    ¡®That¡¯s when my first time seeing evil spirit at 5 years old¡¯


    He can¡¯t recall what is happening after that. But his grandpas apologize numerous times after that incident. Well, that is obvious because he miscalculated yuwan mentality resulting him in dangerous situation.


    Yuwan cannot recall what happening after that, and his grandpa won¡¯t say anything. But after that incident, he keeps asking what the creature on Aunt Dira¡¯s house is.


    At first, Syubi don¡¯t want to tell his grandson but he can¡¯t help but moved because not a day even passed but Yuwan already recover from his trauma. So in the end, he told him everything.


    Evil Spirit.


    They had somewhat blacking aura surrounding its existent. They didn¡¯t have permanent shape so they end up changing their form. He ate human soul as nourishment etc.


    While Yuwan listening his grandpa lecture seriously, he felt shock running through his body when he told secret information.


    When evil spirit shrouded by blackish aura, it means that someone near it had evil intention, or they had unstable emotion. In worst case scenario, their mental would break, and connection between body and soul would be cut off.


    But¡­


    When evil spirit had somewhat red color mix in it, it means that someone will die not far from it. Grandpa called it ¡°Reaper¡± with its Reaper phenomenon. Reaper phenomenon doesn¡¯t have something to with evil spirit. They can¡¯t reap someone lives. But, when someone getting near their death, their soul would come out off their body. It became indication when someone nears their death because it is appetizing dishes for evil spirit.


    Well, it is a good thing evil spirit cannot eat wandering soul.


    The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    ¡®But why am I dreaming that incident again all of sudden?¡¯


    Uneasiness started creep on his heart. Something bad would happen. But he doesn¡¯t know what it is. But, there is only one explanation.


    ¡®The little girl warning¡¯


    Not wasting time anymore, he started to take a bath, changes his clothes and depart hastily to fruit village.


    Sunlight brightly lit telling that today would be a bright day


    Who came out off the house was youngster with height 150 cm with white skin and black hair with clear black eyes. On his face, somber expression could be seen while he hastily walk away into the distance.


    Fruit Village.


    Hustling bustling was everywhere. Housewife trying to haggle with seller, little kids playing in the morning, middle and oldman started to prepare for work. But that is not what things that he see.


    When he arrives, his uneasiness becomes more thick and dread start to sprout on his heart.


    ¡®This is¡­!!¡¯


    Because¡­


    Reaper could be seen everywhere on his line of sight went to. On top of the roof, in front of the door on someone house, in the middle of the street, and on top of the trees. But they didn¡¯t do anything, didn¡¯t moving as if they are waiting.


    Based on his sight, there are at least fifteen reapers in the village. Fear and dread were something that reapers like but Yuwan couldn¡¯t help it but feel that way right now.


    Sensing something delicious, the unmoving reapers start to move their non-existent neck trying to look for it.


    Feeling it wouldn¡¯t be good if Yuwan can¡¯t control his emotion, he start to control his breath trying calm down. After a few breaths, his surging emotion start to calm down, he continue his goal that is to talk to uncle Bolman.


    Uncle Bolman was his grandpa friend, and his relationship with uncle Bolman was quite good. In the past few years, uncle Bolman sometimes visit his house while bringing food when he is starving. Maybe because uncle Bolman feel worry about Yuwan starve to death, he end up doing it continuously even until now.


    After doing it a few times, Bolman start to become important figure for Yuwan and end up receiving a few secret from the little brat including ¡°Reaper Phenomenon¡±.


    With this in mind, Yuwan hope that he will believe him if he told Uncle Bolman about little girl warning.


    Sometime passed before finally he saw Uncle Bolman on his stand trying to sell his goods to somewhat beautiful girl on her mid-20. Her name is Lutia. She had silky long brown hair, smooth white skin, and exquisite body. She was really beautiful woman and end up as an Idol in the village. It is somewhat weird for a girl as beautiful as her end up in remote village.


    Uncle Bolman was somewhat robust middle age man, with scars on all over his body, brown skin, black long hair and height 187 cm. Again, it is kind of confusing considering he is just a mere fruit seller in the middle of little village but had scar all over his body.  He said that he is from afar so maybe, he is a former wandering cultivator.


    ¡°Good morning Uncle Bolman. Good morning sister Lutia.¡±


    Hearing greeting, Uncle Bolman and Sister Lutia¡¯s conversation stop while changing their line of sight. Seeing Yuwan came, they start to smile gently while greeting him back.


    ¡°¡±Good morning Yuwan¡±¡±


    Within these two eyes, there are gentleness and little bit emotion hidden in the depth of their eyes. No one knows, except these two what the meaning of their greeting really is.


    ¡°What is it Yuwan? I think that it is rather rare for you to greet me this early in the morning. Do you need something?¡±


    ¡°Hehe~ you really know me Uncle Bolman¡±


    Hearing Uncle Bolman remark, Yuwan couldn¡¯t help but feel embarrassed while scratching his head. It is obvious, doesn¡¯t that mean that He never came greeting Uncle in the morning except for asking help? Of course Yuwan won¡¯t admit it.


    ¡°Okay uncle, enough for the joke...¡±


    ¡°It is the truth though¡±


    ¡°Ugh¡±


    Not waiting for Yuwan finishing his sentence, Uncle Start to retort him. Saying it is not a joke mean that Uncle Remark on the very first conversation means as sarcasm rather than greeting.


    Admitting his mistake while making a promise to visit Uncle Bolman frequently in the future on his heart, he start to jump to his goal for trying to find Uncle Bolman,


    ¡°Uncle Bolman, I need your help.¡±


    Seeing Yuwan somberness expressions and serious yet determined voice, Uncle Bolman didn¡¯t say anything anymore and start to close his stall and then leading Yuwan into his house, letting him sit in the living room. Sister Lutia doesn¡¯t have anything to do so she follows both guys inside.


    Inside Uncle Bolman House, Yuwan first told Uncle everything he knows including little girl request, and multiple ¡°Reaper¡± in the village. After Yuwan told Uncle Bolman everything, he ask Uncle help to remind all of the villager and the elder in the village.


    ¡°PLEASE!! SAVE THIS VILLAGE!¡±


    Said Yuwan while bowing his head deeply in front of two adults. A tint tears appear in his eyes expressing that this matter was something really important to him. Seeing Yuwan like that, two adults didn¡¯t say anything and lower their heads just like that. Their expression couldn¡¯t be seen because of their bangs but their body shaking a little. Very little to the point of couldn¡¯t be recognized if you didn¡¯t look carefully.


    A few breaths passed and no one said anything in that situation. But suddenly and unexpectedly, the one replying was Sister Lutia.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry Yuwan, we will try our best save this village. For now, you can go back because we will get busy here on out.¡±


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯m sorry for asking something troublesome. Sorry for the trouble¡±


    Yuwan feel that their reactions were a little weird, but maybe he just imagining it so he obediently go back home as he told to.


    Uncle Bolman House


    After enough time for incense stick to burn, in the quiet living room at Uncle Bolman house. The two adult didn¡¯t say anything and didn¡¯t move from their original position.


    Until suddenly¡­


    BOOOM!


    Wooden table in from of these two had been crushed by Uncle Bolman punch into pieces. His body shaking violently and violent Qi fluctuate from his body uncontrollable. His eyes were red, his face was red, his teeth was gritted to the point a hint of blood start to appear on the corner of his mouth and multiple veins pop up on his face.


    Anger!


    He is so angry to the point that his body and muscle started to make popping sound. He didn¡¯t say anything from when Yuwan told him everything and this time he start to say something. His deep voices appear a little shaking as if trying to endure his anger.


    ¡°THESE BASTARD!!!!¡±

 #3 : Esrad

    Sorry for the wait~ (There is someone waiting?)


    anyway, here is the chapter 3~


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    Chapter 3


    Fruit Village.


    After Consult his worry to Uncle Bolman, Yuwan didn¡¯t go home immediately but going around to one stall after another greeting every one of villagers on the way.


    ¡°Good Morning Elder¡±


    ¡°Oh~ Morning Uncle Peter¡±


    ¡°Morning Auntie Nana¡±


    ¡°Hoy Kids, don¡¯t run around in the middle of the street!¡±


    He doesn¡¯t want to be called as shameless men who only come to greet someone when he needs help. Of course he didn¡¯t buy anything.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry auntie buyan, I¡¯m not buying anything¡± said Yuwan while feeling dejected.


    He doesn¡¯t have any money!


    It is a good thing the food that Uncle Bolman brought to his house still has some left. Or else he would starve to death for sure. That is what he is doing now, after he greets someone, he would go to the next without viewing any goods villager sell without buying anything.


    ¡°Oh my, don¡¯t be so awkward Yuwan. Your grandfather were very kind person to every single one of us villager. Even though your grandpa cultivation base somewhat weak considering his 95+ years old and only reach level 5 condensation rank, he was a great help in the past. It is a pity that your grandpa has¡­¡±


    Yuwan feel proud when someone praising his grandpa. After all, he can only live until now because his grandpa took care of him. If not for their great disparity in age, he wouldn¡¯t mind calling Syubi as father.


    But after hearing auntie Buyan last word, the dejected feeling he has changed into sadness. A little bit of tear start to appear on the very corner of his eyes. His grandpa was everything to him.  Grandpa was his protector, father, teacher, and best friend altogether. But when he heard that his grandpa died out of the blue when he goes shopping 4 years ago, he starts to cry while running all the way from fruit village to home.


    Cry very loudly to the point that the entire villager who heard his cry desperately closed their ears. Knowing the situation that Yuwan will become an orphan after Syubi Reizem death, kind person one after another start to offer their helps by trying adopt him as their son.


    Of course Yuwan rudely refuse.


    After all, he is but a mere 9 years old kid who just lost his precious grandpa. For him, the one and only parents he has was Syubi Reizem and no one else qualified. Trying to adopt him and asking him to call them as parents when his ¡°real¡± parents just died in front of him only taken as insult instead.


    ¡°You dare trying to make me call you parents!? When my grandpa was dead in front of me!? Don¡¯t joke with me!! Syubi Reizem is my and only parent! If he is dead, than it means that I¡¯m an orphan! ¡± Said Yuwan at that time while shouting with tears, snot, and saliva flew all over the place.


    The one who try to adopt him didn¡¯t get angry, instead pity took over their feeling. It seems like Yuwan life will be a hard one is what appeared on their thought.


    ¡°I-I¡¯m sorry Yuwan, how inconsiderate of me! P-please don¡¯t cry okay! H-here! I will give you one Durio fruit as apologize¡±


    She felt like hitting herself, after all every villager knew how loud Yuwan cry at that time. That¡¯s why auntie Buyan feel rather guilty for bringing it up.


    ¡°It is fine auntie Buyan, I¡¯m not a kid anymore. Even though I feel sad about grandpa, it won¡¯t enough make me cry again. As your apologize, I should accept it gratefully then~¡±


    Even though how Yuwan behave feels like tricking her, Buyan didn¡¯t angry in the slightest. After all she know that it¡¯s not an acting and how Yuwan talk was the usual him so she feel relieve. By the way, Durio fruit is a round fruit as big as adult head with hard yellow spike covering it. It had very peculiar and strong smell which may ones vomit if he/she didn¡¯t like it, but excited if he/she likes it. It won¡¯t hurt if you hold it normally, but if it hit you, it hurt very much so Yuwan hold it carefully.


    After parting with auntie buyan, Yuwan continue to greet villagers. While he greets every single villager he met, he forgot that he didn¡¯t visit his friend yet for the past few days.


    His name is Esrad. He is auntie Dira¡¯s only son.


    Esrad house were not that far from where Yuwan standing right now so he walk away from another villager he greet to Esrad house. His house work as a shop too, they sell various vegetables they got from their own garden. There is not much of variation, but it is enough to make a living.


    In front of Esrad house, stood middle-age woman with long and wavy unique purple hair. Her skin was as white as snow, with perfect shape nose, mature looking golden eyes, and gentle aura surrounding her. It seems like she just starting to prepare her shop.


    ¡°Good morning auntie Dira¡±


    She is Grandpa Patient in the past.


    ¡°Oh my, good morning Yuwan. Do you want to buy something?¡±


    ¡°It is not like that, I just want to greet Esrad while on my way home¡±


    ¡°What a considerate friend you are. He must be happy to see you in the morning¡±


    Hearing Yuwan answer, Auntie Dira feel happy for her son.


    ¡°Esrad~ your friend is here wanting to see you~¡±


    There is no answer. After a brief moment pass, a youngster with the same age and same height as Yuwan appear from the house. He looked exactly like her mother purple wavy hair and golden eyes. The only thing that different is only his tan skin.


    ¡°There is a friend wanting to see me? Early in the morning? Since when did I have such considerate friend? ¡±


    Of course Esrad would feel puzzled. After all, the only one who could be called as a friend by his mother is Yuwan.


    And that is unlikely for that guy to be considerate of others. But after seeing Yuwan smiling face in front of his mother.


    ¡°Why are you making such somber face Esrad?¡±


    Ask Yuwan, after all, he is even trouble himself to greet his friend and yet he received somber face instead. Of course it is questionable why greeting a friend considered as ¡°trouble¡± for Yuwan.


    ¡°Just go straight to the point Yuwan, how much of vegetables do you need?¡±


    ¡°Just what kind of person do you think I am!? Just what kind of person villagers think of me!? Tell me truth Esrad! Tell me!¡±


    ¡°Shameless?¡±


    ¡°Guhah!!¡±


    Shameless!


    That is the last things Yuwan ever thinks of himself. He always thought of himself as righteous, kind, friendly, and considerate fellow. How the heck such good person became ¡°shameless¡± in another person point view?


    Hearing his friend answer made him cough blood and red faced out of shame. But he cannot deny Esrad retort. After all, that is what he had been doing after his grandpa¡¯s dead. Of course he didn¡¯t realize it at all after being told to.


    ¡°I-I-I¡¯m sorry for being such a person. Forgive me for being shameless.¡±


    Said Yuwan weakly, while crouching on the very corner of the Esrad house while drawing circle.


    ¡°Haha¡­ no need to worry, I befriend you up till now and never complaint to you right?¡±


    Then why you made such somber face just now? That is what Yuwan didn¡¯t ask for more afraid he would hear another hurting word.


    ¡°So why are you visit me? Just for greeting? If so, then something surely bad going to happen¡±


    Yuwan cannot deny Esrad statement again. After all something is indeed going to happen. Thinking that warn Esrad wouldn¡¯t be a bad idea either, so he ask mother-son pair to have serious talk and let him get inside.


    The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.Yuwan began to told him what about ¡°little girl warning¡±. He know that telling inappropriate person for example a youngster wouldn¡¯t help that much. After all, youngster word didn¡¯t have enough persuasion power, so Yuwan told Uncle Bolman instead. But as a friend, he couldn¡¯t help but telling his friend as a warning and the result didn¡¯t matter as long as his friend knows.


    During The friends talk, Auntie Dira heard it too. So she heard about serious matter Yuwan brought that end up made her going into deep silence. No one knows what she is thinking.


    ¡°Yuwan, it is not something to joke about. I know you really like joking, so I will remind you jus incase that this is not funny at all.¡±


    ¡°Esrad, you know exactly when I¡¯m joking and when I¡¯m not considering we¡¯ve been friend since childhood.¡±


    Silence


    Like Yuwan said, they had been friend since child so Esrad knew exactly when Yuwan joking, when he is serious.


    After a brief moment pass, the until now silent Auntie Dira start to talk again.


    ¡°Okay Yuwan, thanks for the remainder. If there is anything you need, you can tell us okay¡±


    ¡°Thank you for your kindness Auntie. In that case, may I have flask of water with water inside?¡±


    ¡°Okay, wait a moment okay?¡±


    Auntie and Esrad didn¡¯t say anything anymore after Yuwan get his flask of water. After saying his good bye, Yuwan didn¡¯t greet the villagers again and go straight to home.


    Inside Esrad House.


    ¡°Mom, what do you think about this matter?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°Mom?¡±


    At first there is no answer. Her mother keeps silence for a few breath of time but after Esrad ask again his mother start to make serious face.


    ¡°This is serious matter. We will close the shop today and tell the elder¡±


    ¡°But what about Yuwan Durio fruit?¡±


    Now that he mentions it, the two start to realize that Yuwan forgot to bring his fruit back. So they split up. Esrad bring the fruit back, and Auntie Dira go to the elder house.


    But just when the pair goes out of their house


    BOOM!


    There is a loud sound came from Bolman House which attract people nearby including mother-son pair. When the onlookers start to pile up, two figures came out of the house. They are Bolman, and Lutia. Seeing that a lot of people gathering in front of his house, Bolman made a helpless smile shaking his head while Lutia press her temple as if get an headache.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry everyone for the disturbance, please don¡¯t mind me. We have something to do outside the village but we can¡¯t get out if you all surrounding us¡±


    The onlookers keep their silence while making ways to the two. They didn¡¯t disperse until Bolman and Lutia off to distance.  Including the mother-son pair but afterward they continue their purpose.


    On the grassy plain outside of the village, Yuwan running through at high speed.


    ¡®I need to go home first and prepare, there is not much that I can do but at least it is enough to protect me¡¯


    When Yuwan immersed in deep thought, he suddenly spot three figures standing on his way. He didn¡¯t go around them but stop his track instead. That is because even though he trouble himself going around them, he know they wouldn¡¯t let him pass that easily.


    In the center, a youngster around14 year old with brown shoulder hair length, white skin, with height 155 cm stood arrogantly. On his left and right, cold looking youngster with black shoulder length that seems to be a twin stood as if they just a mere servant.


    ¡°What do you want Goh Murash? If you were got lost at this time and age, what would Murash clan end up to in the future? This village is Murago clan territory if you don¡¯t know, oh your highness Mr.Goh Murash.¡±


    Goh Murash didn¡¯t say anything but a 2 words with very casual tone as if saying it is a good day.


    ¡°Beat Him.¡±


    Hearing this, the twin suddenly rushes forward. Yuwan face suddenly change, he circulate level 3 elementary rank profound qi within his body desperately while throwing a punch to one on them. But his opponent blocks his punch with both hands while the other person throw a powerful punch toward Yuwan face.


    Bam!


    He had been thrown for 5 meter with a little blood trail.


    ¡°Stop¡±


    Goh casually order his ¡°Servant¡± to stop while walking toward Yuwan unmoving body with sneer on his face. The things that Goh didn¡¯t realize is Yuwan mouth actually move at high speed while opening his flask of water silently.


    ¡°Oh Yuwan~ it is been a long time. Where is it again the last time I beat you up? 1 week ago?¡±


    That is why Yuwan very sure that Goh wouldn¡¯t let him pass just like that, so he stopped his track while mocking Goh. It doesn¡¯t matter for Yuwan to be beaten up, but he doesn¡¯t want to run away and instead stop to fight. Even though he always ended up losing.


    ¡°Well~ it is you grandpa fault. We can start cultivate at age 8, but you still ended up in level 3 elementary rank profound Qi. What have you been doing the past 5 years? Crying for your grandpa? HAHAHA¡±


    He laugh maniacally while walking to Yuwan slowly step by step.


    *Tap Tap Tap


    When he is already in front of Yuwan laying body, he crouches while looking mockingly at Yuwan bloody face.


    ¡°Well it is your fault for not born as one of Big Clan Family such as Murash family. With our family resort¡­ Splash ¡°


    *Spurt!


    Not even let Goh finishing his sentence, Yuwan lips suddenly stop moving while drinking some water and spurt it right on Goh face. On Goh rather handsome stunned face, now filled with don¡¯t know if it water or Yuwan¡¯s saliva.


    When Goh stunned with Yuwan action, somewhat unhurried lazy voice appear from below him.


    ¡°Could you please to not show your face too close to me oh your highness Mr. Goh Murash. It makes almost vomit, and end up spurting the water I intend to drink.¡±


    *Kacha


    Vein pop up on Goh red face forehead, said with shaking voice.


    ¡°Bas¡­Tard¡­¡±

    Author happiness:


    There is 1 favorite!?


    I''m so happy~(?)


    Anyway here is the chapter 4~


    Enjoy~


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    Chapter 4


    ¡°Bas¡­Tard¡­¡±


    Said Goh Murash trembled. His fury start to rose so high even his face and eyes became red with vein popping up on his forehead.


    Humiliation!


    Goh Murash is a member of Murash clan, one of biggest power in western domain. Even though not considered talented, he is son of younger brother from the current patriarch. Never look down upon, respected, being given much resource from the clan for the clan future. Let alone being spit to, even he never had been slapped by anyone in the clan.


    Goh Murash starts circulating his level 6 elementary rank profound qi violently into his fist and slammed it right into Yuwan¡¯s face.


    Bam!


    Dust scattered everywhere and Goh Murash still kept his original position with frown on his face. Because Goh Murash feels like his fist only slammed the ground and there is no scream too. While contemplated how can he missed with such a short distance, he suddenly realize that his sight getting blurred and his head get a slight dizziness. When Goh realize that he can¡¯t see clearly, Goh start to feel slight of fear until Yuwan calm unhurried voice came from below him.


    ¡°That is just dizzying spell, only work for 8 breathe of time, not causing permanent change so don¡¯t need to worry¡±


    Hearing Yuwan word, the slightly panicked Goh Murash start to relaxed, but that is Goh fist mistake.


    Bam!!


    Yuwan throw powerful punch to Goh chin, ending before crouching Goh end up standing again causing Goh stumble backwards 2 steps losing his balance. Not letting this chance go away just like that, Yuwan circulating his Qi to his fist and again throwing powerful punch which stronger than before straight to Goh stomach.


    Bam!!


    ¡°Gah!!¡±


    Pain spread through from his stomach causing Goh cough a mouthful of air having hard time to breath.


    ¡°Taste my kick with your body!!¡±


    Panic, Goh start to believe that Yuwan going to throw powerful kick toward his chest so he end up circulating most of  his own qi to protect his own hand and doing defend posture with both hand in front of his chest.


    That is second mistake of him.


    Bam!!


    Powerful kick launched straight toward Goh face making him thrown 3 meters backward with little trail of blood from Goh nose. Foot mark actually appears on Goh Murash face.


    But pains make him woke up and realize that he is too panic forgetting that he has the Twins by his side. When Goh fall to the ground, he began instruct the twins while he himself will withdraw hastily from the fight until spell effect ended.


    Twins run forward hearing an order from Goh toward Yuwan. After throwing a kick, Yuwan chase after the now withdrawing Goh while chanting the next spell even before kicking with higher speed than before. Goh didn¡¯t withdraw that far away and stopped after 15 meter believing the twins was enough to deal with Yuwan.


    That kind of thought wasn¡¯t wrong knowing the twin both have level 5 elementary rank with Yuwan only at level 3 elementary rank profound Qi. Let alone level 3, even Goh himself had a hard time or maybe might lose against the twin even though he is level 6 elementary rank.


    Knowing his opponent coming from his back, Yuwan stop chasing after Goh choosing to face the now troublesome twin. Because he doesn¡¯t know who is which between the twin, Yuwan always call them Twin A and Twin B.


    Yuwan finished his spell.


    It is dizzying spell like before but Yuwan overlap it with another spell which cause twin became vigilant. Yuwan took something from his pocket while putting it into his mouth and drink mouthful of water from the flask afterward as if drinking the medicine. Seeing this, the twin though that it is some kind of medicine which rising the strength to someone who drinks it temporally knowing that Yuwan grandpa¡¯s is knowledgeable toward medicine causing the twin raise their speed and just need to reach 2 meter from Yuwan.


    They didn¡¯t know that it is actually the same method as before.


    *Spurt!


    Of course the same method wouldn¡¯t work, adding with their vigilance toward Yuwan, they dodge it casually to left and right. Their unchanged face as if telling that this kind of petty trick wouldn¡¯t work on them.


    But at that time¡­


    Boom!


    *Splash!


    Something that Yuwan put on his mouth is actually ¡°cracked¡± low quality soul stone which can be found on the river if you had luck. If you send high amount of your soul energy toward it, if the soul stone can¡¯t withstand it, it would explode. It explodes causing the water spurt to spread wetting some part of the twins face.


    But it is enough because what Yuwan doing is catalyzing his spell with water, so as long as it touch the recipient, it would work.


    Slight dizziness start to appear on their head and their sight become blur, even the now 2 meters away Yuwan only seems like a blur person.


    Unlike spoiled Goh Murash, the twin didn¡¯t panic that much considering that they only had 1 enemy and he is in front of them which easy to tell. Yuwan know this so he dash forward positioning himself between the twins which resulting


    Yuwan seems blur figure overlapping with the one behind him.


    It is a neat trick that he accidently discovered when Yuwan end up dizzying himself from his own spell in front of the house. He starts crying because of anxiety he would go blind forever, and then he began shouting loudly asking his grandpa help. But when the spell wears off, he found that grandpa Syubi actually in front of him but he cannot see him because Grandpa Syubi blur figure overlapped with a tree.


    Seeing Yuwan blur figure overlapped with his brother, both twin slightly startled but they start to change position hastily afraid Yuwan would use this chance to confused them.


    Of course Yuwan wouldn¡¯t let them do that so he charge toward one of the twin which is twin A and direct his punch to his neck while his figure still overlap with twin B.


    Bam!


    ¡°Gah!!¡±


    Hearing his brother short scream, twin B move his sight and catch a glimpse of blur figure punch to another neck. His fury raised a bit feeling as if he is the one who got hit, so he dash forward wanting to attack sneakily.


    Yuwan then grab twin A hand and doing powerful overthrow throwing twin A around 4 meters.  At this time twin B already close enough to attack Yuwan when he saw a blurred hand come straight to his face.


    A slight sneer actually appears on usually cold twin B face. Lowering his waist, twin B and then positioning his left palm in front of his face while preparing to do upper cut as counter-attack with full force. That kind of position was basic martial knowledge to counter-attacking someone that even the maids of Murash clan know of which he really sure Yuwan who didn¡¯t receive any proper martial training wouldn¡¯t know of. Image of Yuwan got blown on the chin by twin B counter-attack start to appear on his head.


    A pity that what comes from Yuwan wasn¡¯t punch but Yuwan¡¯s index and middle finger that pierce through twin B fingers gap straight to twin B¡¯s eyes.


    *Zleb


    ¡°Gah!!¡±


    Twin B stumble backward 1 step screaming while covering both his eyes as if trying to appease his now hurting like hell eyes. Now that once short-sighted twin B becomes blind for the time being, Yuwan gave twin B a kick¡­


    ¡­Toward his groin.


    Bam!


    Pain run through twin B body from groin which stiffing his body,  make his leg go limp, messing his stomach, limping both of his hand, shot straight toward twin B¡¯s brain as if he was struck by a bolt of lightning and then forcefully leaked out from his mouth.


    ¡°AHHHH!!!!¡±


    Twin B shout a really sad and anguish scream, which attract twin A¡¯s attention.


    ¡°YOU B**CH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY BROTHER!!!¡±


    If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    Somewhat hoarse shout came from Twin A¡¯s mouth.


    Twin is unique existence which they believe as one person. Twin A is twin B, twin B is twin A. they live together since young even till now. Happy together, sad together, suffering together. Even when their life became so difficult in Murash clan, and what they got was intense scolding and beating from Murash clan member, they would feel at ease when they are together.


    So when twin A hearing his brother anguish scream which he himself never heard of before, intense fury rose from the bottom of twin A heart. He can¡¯t see what exactly happened to his brother, but Twin B¡¯s scream told everything he needs to know.


    Complete Fury!


    Yuwan know that it is impossible for him to win when facing stronger opponent if he didn¡¯t use every trick he had on his sleeves. So Yuwan cannot hesitate when doing petty act like stabbing eyes, and attacking his opponent groin. But Yuwan hold back his kick knowing that groin area is a sacred place for all of guys.


    After kicking twin¡¯s B groin, Yuwan doing full dash toward Goh. Goh actually very surprised knowing the twins cant bet Yuwan but Goh shrug off his surprised aside because Yuwan already dash toward himself. Goh circulate his profound qi into his punch while ran straight forward throwing his punch toward Yuwan¡¯s stomach.


    Unexpectedly Yuwan seems didn¡¯t care while he came closer and closer toward Goh without doing anything.


    Bam!


    ¡°Guh!¡±


    Yuwan try to suppress his blood which already on his throat. Goh surprised and puzzled for why Yuwan didn¡¯t dodge at all. Yuwan enduring his pain, clutching Goh left hand on his stomach with his left hand, while circulating his profound qi onto his right palm and swing it toward Goh undefended face.


    *Slap!


    High pitch sound rang on the swaying grassy plain. Very deep red palm mark appears on the bloody nose Goh face. Goh feel intense burn both on his face and his heart which really hurt his pride. Fist Yuwan spit (?) on Goh face, second Yuwana trick him and kick his face resulting his nose blooding and now he felt clearly a burn hand mark now actually appear on his face.


    Breath became shorter, body trembling and Goh eyes became red due to anger.


    ¡°¡±I¡¯M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!¡±¡±


    2 shout appear both in front and behind Yuwan. Goh and Twin B clench his hand tightly, profound qi start to gather on his fist while violent wind began to gather around Goh fist.


    ¡°Winding Wave Fist!!¡±


    It is martial skill they learned in Murash clan. Both fist come closer toward Yuwan head both from the front and behind him. A wicked sneer appear on Yuwan face knowing what would happen if he dodge both fist. Yuwan blurred figure were so close with Goh Murash which resulting both only saw on blurred figure. Adding with their anger, both youngster filled with vigor couldn¡¯t think straight.


    Yuwan duck at the last second and fist contain violent wind passing his head causing his black hair to flutter in the wind.


    Bam! Bam!


    The former is the sound of two fists colliding strongly, the latter is¡­


    ¡­ the sound of Yuwan head butting the ground because two fist colliding after effect causing Yuwan to feel dizzy.


    Goh stumble backward a few steps while Twin A fall on his butt, their hand shaking and felt numb.


    Even though it seems long, actually the whole thing happens just for 8 breathe of time.


    After Yuwan spell wears off, both Goh and twin A starting to realize that Yuwan they hate actually already stop moving with very awkward position.


    Silence


    In the grassy plain outside of fruit village.


    ¡°Guboh!!¡±


    ¡°Gah!!¡±


    ¡°Ugh!!¡±


    Yuwan figure could be seen being hold by Twin A and Twin B. Twin B still having a hard time standing but he still look fine even though his leg keep shaking, his eyes red with tears flowing, and pale face. Twin A¡¯s complexion looks fine, but his voice somewhat hoarse.


    In front of the now black and blue face and ragged breathing, bloody nose and bloody clothes because coughing blood Yuwan, stood an arrogant looking youngster with wicked grin on his face. His look is rather funny with messed up shoulder length brown hair, bloody nose, foot mark on the center of his face, and palm mark on his cheek.


    ¡°You twin can beat him up after me. Because, I¡¯m still not satisfied¡±


    ¡°Guh!!¡±


    Said Goh Murash while punching Yuwan¡¯s stomach. Hearing Goh murash word, both twin eyes start to shine. But for now, they just needs to endure it while holding Yuwan¡¯s both hands from the side. Even though he was beaten up, Yuwan still glaring Goh properly causing Goh still not feeling satisfied. On the other hand, Yuwan feels anger and embarrassment start to well up on his heart. Actually, Yuwan plan is to let Goh and Twin A to punch each other while he would laugh manically toward these two. But what Yuwan didn¡¯t calculate is there is a possibility their punch would collide with each other. To make things worse, he got beaten by the aftermath. It is like being bitten by his own pet, even though he never had a pet before. When Goh going to continue punching Yuwan face, suddenly¡­


    ¡°WATCH YOUR HEAD!!!¡±


    Esrad shout came from behind Yuwan and the twin. Yuwan eyes start to shine, light smile appear on his black and blue face knowing what his friend means.


    Yuwan circulating all of his remaining Qi onto his right fist, suddenly lowering his head as much as he can while being held when an unknown object pass his head with hair breathe.


    Goh feel slightly startled by the unexpected attack, but it is a good thing that his punch is already prepared beforehand so he swings his punch contain with Qi toward whatever the object is.


    Bang!!


    *splash


    The object shattered, it¡¯s inside scattering all over Goh now really pale face causing his already messed up face became even worse.


    The unknown object actually is Durio Fruit.


    Because it¡¯s spiky and hard skin, Goh hand got wounded because Durio flying speeds even though its skin scattered.


    Actually, Goh didn¡¯t really mind about his hand. What actually made his face pale is Durio¡¯s worse smell.


    Durio is infamous Fruit even outside Fruit village because its smell which couldn¡¯t that far off if compared with rotten eggs, rotten vegetables, and vomit mixed together.  It is rather regretful that with Durio pleasant sweet taste, some people can¡¯t eat it just because he/she can¡¯t stand the smell.


    Durio peculiar smell wander scattered around, causing even the twin could smell it. Unexpectedly, the twin eyes begin to shine brightly, and drool came from their mouth as if explaining that their favorite is in front of them.


    Bam!


    While the twin engrossed with their drooling, sneak attack came from Esrad toward Twin B right face on the Yuwan right side which resulting his head collide strongly with twin A¡¯s head. Their head became dizzy and their hand which holding Yuwan became lessened, and Yuwan wouldn¡¯t let that chance goes like that. Yuwan hastily broke off from twin hand and direct his now completely filled Qi hand toward Twin A face.


    Bam! Bam!


    The latter is the sound of Twin B body got blown forward by Esrad kick. The reason Yuwan punch Twin A¡¯s instead B¡¯s face was very simple, there isn¡¯t any parting gift visible on Twin A¡¯s face yet.


    After this time, somehow relax voice came from Yuwan¡¯s side.


    ¡°Sorry Yuwan, I¡¯m late¡±


    ¡°Hah¡­Hah¡­yeah¡­you are really¡­late¡­¡±


    Answer Yuwan with difficulty. Even though he looks now was really pitiful, a smile actually appear on Yuwan¡¯s face.

 #5 : The Angry Esrad

    Chapter 5


    ¡°Hah¡­Hah¡­yeah¡­you are really¡­late¡­¡±


    Answer Yuwan with difficulty. Even though he looks now was really pitiful, a smile actually appear on Yuwan¡¯s face.


    After Goh spilled by Durio fruit, nauseous took over him. Even though he want to act though, he cannot help the dizzying sickness feeling on his and stomach. After a few breath trying to act though without pinching his nose at all, Goh finally vomit. Goh became really pale, his face look like dumpster, while his body shaking from head to toe vomiting without stop. It only took sometime until he couldn¡¯t take it anymore and put his robe off which afterward use it to wipe his face.


    After Goh finish, he start to glare the now smiling smugly Esrad beside Yuwan. At this time, the twin already stood up with difficulty while waiting Goh order.


    ¡°What? Do you think that you would be able to beat me?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be arrogant you bastard, it is none of your business. Stand aside or I would bring more people to beat you up.¡±


    ¡°It is my business, he is my friend so if you want to beat Yuwan, I would interfere.¡±


    Said Esrad with seriousness shown on his face. Esrad golden eyes glaring to the not that far Goh, determined could be seen on his eyes as if trying to say that he would fight to the end.


    ¡°Attack Him!¡±


    Order Goh to the Twin. Twin move together, showing perfect synchronization as if they are already planning how to attack beforehand. Twin attack from both side, but Esrad still maintains his position circulating His Qi. Attack contain with violent wind came from Esrad right, while sweep kick came from his left. Esrad didn¡¯t attack nor dodge, he just casually circulating his qi toward his right palm and left foot and blocking their attack head on.


    Bam! Bam!


    Esrad body shaken but there is no visible injury, twin attack stop and they are stuck in that position. After a brief moment, Goh began to move. He dash forward until he already in front of Esrad preparing Winding Wave Fist toward Esrad chest.


    Now Esrad began to move. Esrad circulate his Qi toward his feet performing forward kick toward Goh first on the chest.


    Bam!


    Shock filled Goh mind while pain run from his chest suffocating him throughout Goh body while he thrown back 4 meter backward. Seeing that, seemingly Twin A from Esrad left hastily retract his feet retreating backward. But seemingly twin B cant retract his punch because of Esrad powerfully clutching his hand. Suddenly, twin B body as if became really light, he felt like he is floating and the world spinning just like that which puzzled him until pain came from his back.


    Bam!


    He was thrown toward Twin A colliding him and then fall to the ground stacking up.


    Maybe the twin didn¡¯t know because they didn¡¯t receive an attack from Esrad directly, but Goh did so he knows what level Esrad cultivation is.


    ¡°Guh¡­8¡­level 8 elementary rank!!¡±


    Said Goh while he enduring his pain on the chest, his sound reaches the twin seemingly shocks them both too. Shock filled Goh and twin¡¯s mind. Even he himself reaches level 6 with the help of cultivation resource. And yet, mere villagers reach level 8 which he is really sure that Esrad didn¡¯t get cultivation resource help. Thinking about it deeply, Goh start to realize that he wouldn¡¯t be able to beat Yuwan up for his humiliation with Esrad around.


    ¡°Do you still thought that you can beat me?¡± ask Esrad again.


    It is the truth that Goh wouldn¡¯t be able to win if he fights Esrad. But how can he just say ¡®yes I can¡¯t, I¡¯m sorry~¡¯ after what Yuwan did to him? He is quietly standing up, forgetting about his hand which still bleeding and his pain chest seemingly thinking about something.


    After a moment passed, Goh start to talk again


    ¡°I am son of Yuodi Murash, younger brother from the current patriarch of Murash clan. Whoever you are, I promise you would became my servant, no, my right hand-man if you would step aside.¡±


    Goh didn¡¯t give up, he start to promise Esrad to make him his right hand-man if Esrad would step aside. After all, he is son of younger brother from the current patriarch. By being his right hand-man Esrad would benefit greatly, he is 100% sure out of 10 people, only one who would reject this kind of offer and that 1 person if not an idiot, it would be he/she had no brain.


    At this time, Esrad serious face start to have little smile on his tanned face. Seeing this, Goh feel elated, and great idea came up on his head while smile start to creep on Goh murash full of mark face.


    ¡°It seems like you are a smart person. That right! I will give you a chance, if you kill Yuwan, I would give you 20 Spirit Ember as a reward. How was that?¡±


    Spirit Ember is kind of money, including Spirit Stone and Spirit Marble. If you put it in order it is Spirit Marble>Spirit Ember>Spirit Stone multiplies by 100. For Yuwan, 5 Spirit Stone was enough for him to not worrying about starving for an entire day. Even Goh himself thought that he is very generous right now considering killing the beaten up Yuwan with level 8 elementary rank was very easy matter.


    If not for Goh murash never dare to kill villager from Murago clan, he would kill Yuwan by himself. That is the reason he just cruelly beat Yuwan up every now and then when he feel like to. But it is different if the one who kill Yuwan is from the villager itself. The brat who dare to be so disrespect toward me should die miserably, thought Goh on his mind.


    Brighter smiles appear on Esrad face. Seeing this, cold sweat start to slowly flow on Yuwan¡¯s face, His face becoming paler while he took one step back after another silently which made Goh feel more elated.


    ¡°You are not lying right?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not~¡±


    In the surface, Goh smiling indifferently as if Esrad already considered as his serv¡ª right-hand, but on the inside he is laughing maniacally.


    ¡®Kuku¡­ you are really unfortunate Yuwan. Even though I¡¯m not the one who kill you, killed by your own friend can be counted as your punishment fur humiliating me. Afterwards I can kill that guy with purple hair by when we got back home. It would be easy matter considering he is on my home~¡¯


    Yuwan friends=Goh enemy. Goh remember clearly when Yuwan spit on his face, trample his face, and slap his face just now. Remembering it again cause fury start to rose on Goh, Goh feel like chopping Yuwan to pieces, but he shallow back his anger. Yuwan alone wasn¡¯t enough to appease his anger, Yuwan¡¯s friend would be very pleasing dessert after tasting chopping Yuwan¡¯s corpse.


    ¡®I cant brought that bastard corpse now, but I just need to came back and retrieve Yuwan¡¯s corpse after I¡¯m done with fruit village¡¯


    But the twin seems rather displeased, but they cannot going against Goh will. They just standing on Goh side, silently watching the current event, swallowing their displeasure without a word.


    ¡°I need my DP¡±


    Goh asked by Esrad once again. Goh understand that maybe Esrad wouldn¡¯t believe him, that is why he asked for DP. Nodding his head, Goh start to rummaging his pocket, searching for money he has at hand.


    ¡°I¡¯m only bringing 1 Spirit Ember with me, I will give you the rest when we go back to the clan¡±


    Esrad smile brightly seemingly pleased by that.


    ¡®Wait, it is weird. Why did that bastard(Yuwan) didn¡¯t run away? ¡® thought Goh.


    But, maybe it is just Goh imagination. After all, after confirming his payment, Esrad suddenly rush toward Yuwan and the throwing punch toward Yuwan stomach.


    Bam!


    The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    ¡°Gah!!¡±


    The power of the punch seems really strong, because Yuwan start to screaming clutching his stomach while crouching after being punched. Esrad then grab Yuwan robe, slowly walk toward Goh while dragging Yuwan. Trail of the parting grass left behind by Yuwan dragged body seemingly lifeless. Some of the grass even had a hint of blood over here and there flowing from Yuwan mouth and face.


    ¡°Give me the DP first¡±


    Asked Esrad while walking calmly.


    Of course Goh would gratefully give the money to Esrad. But he doesn¡¯t move an inch, he waited for Esrad to get closer toward him. He doesn¡¯t want to walk. After all, what kind of serv¡ª right-hand who would made his master go look for him. Esrad is his servant, so he would stand proudly while waiting Esrad to get closer. About the money, he didn¡¯t bother with it because he would get it back after killing Esrad.


    When Esrad already standing 1 meter in front of Goh, while Goh start to give Esrad the money, Esrad suddenly attack Goh stomach with more speed than when he punch Yuwan. Even whistling of wind thorn by Esrad kick could be heard clearly. Goh didn¡¯t except it at all, so he didn¡¯t even had the time to dodge.


    Bam!


    ¡°Gah!!¡±


    Scream Goh, while he coughs a mouthful of air. Goh scream reverberates on the windy grassy plain, because of a pain Goh felling right now. At this time, the dragged and lifeless Yuwan suddenly full of vigor again, and throw an upper-cut punch on the clutching his stomach Goh.


    Bam!


    Another sound, much weaker than before reverberates once again. Goh flip backward one time and collapsed a few meter from his first position on the ground, not moving. The still watching from the side twin, stare in shock toward Goh collapsed body.


    ¡°Do you think I would sell my friend? Maybe because you are that kind of bastard, which is why you thought that, others would do the same?¡±


    Said Esrad to the collapsed Goh. His face full of disgust, even ridicule shown on Esrad eyes.


    ¡°In you Dream¡±


    Said Esrad again. This time, his face didn¡¯t show disgust, and ridicule on, but very bright smile. Everyone could tell that Esrad eyes didn¡¯t smiling at all.


    Complete Anger!


    Esrad took an important place toward the word ¡°Firend¡±. That¡¯s why he fell really angry when Goh thought that Esrad would sold Yuwan out, even kill Yuwan just for money. When Goh start to struggling to get up, he caught a glimpse of Esrad golden eyes. On Esrad golden eyes, burning anger could be seen very clearly, even cold killing intent clearly emanate on it. Seeing this, Goh whose want to get up, fall on his butt shaking from fear. That golden eyes as if telling him that killing Goh would be an easy matter, which terrified him to the core.


    ¡°Yo-yo-you!! Ho-ho-how dare to h-have ki-ki-killing intent toward me!! Do you know who I AM!?? ¡°


    Shout Goh with fear. His bloody snot and saliva fly all over the place while he shouting seemingly desperate. Even cold sweat and tremble could be seen on his body.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for my rudeness. I don¡¯t know who you are. I¡¯m so sinful. Could you please enlighten me?¡±


    Asked Esrad with very, very sad and regret tone but still smiling expression on his face. On the side, Yuwan could only show a wry smile while shaking his head toward his best friend behavior. He knew very well about his best friend, Esrad already on wrath mode right now. Yuwan already befriend Ersad since very young so he already made him angry on the past.


    Being asked by Esrad, Goh feel like being given hope.


    ¡°I-I¡¯m Goh Murash, the son of Youdi Murash!!! If you dare to ki-ki-kill me, my dad wouldn¡¯t let you off easily!!!¡±


    A tint of arrogance actually appear again on Goh tone of voice even though he is trembling.


    ¡®With this, he would be afraid to kill me!!¡¯ thought Goh feeling proud toward his status.


    Goh clearly saying that HE is the son of of current Murash patriact younger brother. What kind of idiot dare to offend his murash clan? But that thought only showed for an instant, before crumble to pieces after hearing Esrad reply.


    ¡°So What?¡±


    With bright smile on his face, Esrad purple hair softly fluttering from the wind, which actually seems become brighten Esradn expression. Rather than fell at ease seeing Esrad smile, Goh instead become more terrified. Intense Horror appear on the messed up Goh face. Acutally, Esrad himself never killed someone, so it is rather doubtful whether would he really going to kill Goh or not. But, Goh never knew Esrad before. So He only believes what Goh himself feel or see.


    Hearing this and seeing Esrad eyes which containt killing intent, Goh arrogance and confident expression disappear without trace with a puff like a smoke replaced with intense fear.


    ¡®I-I-I-I¡¯m gonna die? I¡¯m gonna die!?¡¯


    Ask Goh toward himself who didn¡¯t believe it. Or more like, he just didn¡¯t want to believe it. His shouting on his mind began more and more desperate, more intense every time Esrad took slowly one step after another toward him. Spark of idea suddenly appear on his head.He suddenly realizes that he still has the twin by his side.


    ¡°You Two!! Block him while I¡¯m running away!!¡±


    Order Goh toward the twin. The twin seem hesitate whether to obey or not until one of them couldn¡¯t help but asking.


    ¡°We can¡¯t hold him too long¡­¡±


    ¡°USE YOUR LIFE YOU IDIOT!! YOU ARE YOU STUPID ORWHAT!!?? WHEN I ASK YOU TO FIGTH, YOU FIGHT, WHEN I ASK YOU TO DIE, YOU DIE!! YOU ARE ONLY A MERE SERVANT OF MINE!!YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL TO DIE BECAUSE OF PROTECTING ME!!!¡±


    Before the twin even finish his sentence, Goh cut him off while reprimanding him while pointing his finger with saliva fly all over the place seems very desperate.


    Goh thought them as a tool, not a living person even from the first time the twin ordered to be Goh servant. So what if they die? It is their obligation to die from protecting himself. They are a mere servant, a tool, a dog, killer, even they are homo if Goh told so. That is why Goh didn¡¯t feel weird at all when saying such a thing.


    Hearing that, the Twin looks at each other gloomily. It just a mere instant before their expressions became indifferent as first time Yuwan meet them. It is very clear as sky after the storm that both decide to abandon Goh. They are only a servant? Yes. But they are not a slave. They really don¡¯t have any obligation nor need to sacrifice themselves in order to protect Goh. Seeing that the twin behavior, he understood what their intentions. The now desperate Goh become insane with red eyes and horror expression as if he already go mad.


    ¡®I AM FROM THE MURASH CLAN!! I AM THE SON OF YOUDI MURASH!! THERE IS NO WAY IMPORTANT FIGURE SUCH AS ME WOULD DIE JUST LIKE THAT!!¡¯


    Goh mind broke, and his head only contain liar statement after another to convince himself which he believes to the core.


    But, as if heaven feeling the desperateness on Goh mind, someone shout suddenly rung loudly on the windy grassy plain making everyone presents ear buzzing as if the shout actually comes right in front of the ear itself.


    ¡°STOP!!!¡±

 #6 : Youdi Murash

    Chapter 6


    ¡°STOP!!!¡±


    Bam! Bam!


    While the shout ringing on Yuwan and Esrad ears, somebody appear in front of their body from who knows where and attack them on the stomach out of blue.


    ¡°Gah!¡±


    ¡°Ugh!¡±


    The impact makes surrounding grass to sway wildly, while Yuwan and Esrad bodies had been thrown back a whole 10 meters. It¡¯s not a little trail of blood anymore, but a mouthful of blood from both Yuwan and Esrad mouth.


    There stood in front of Goh, someone who seems to be middle-age man with black robe and long brown hair fluttering about from the wind. On his white face, strict black eyes could be seen glowing brightly under thick eyebrows and scar crossing from his left neck to his nose, making him looks like scary father who only knows how to slap his son.


    But, Yuwan and Esrad didn''t had a time to care about that.


    When their bodies touch the ground, they didn¡¯t stop and instead keep blown back a few meters until they stop, leaving a trail of parting and red grass while at it.


    ¡®It hurts! How come my entire body is hurting to?!¡¯ thought Esrad.


    Not just Esrad stomach which in pain, but his entire body is. As if being torn apart by some kind of magical beast, Esrad body and muscles cracking, screaming as if it¡¯s couldn¡¯t withstand it any longer.  When all part of Esrad bodies as if already in complete agreement, they send pain signal with lightning bolt like speed straight to Esrad brain at the same time, shaking his entire body, burst out wildly toward Esrad¡¯s throat, and then out from his mouth.


    ¡°AH!!!¡±


    After a moment of silent, Esrad pain scream reverberates loudly in the grassy plain. As for Yuwan, he already had injury from before. He can¡¯t even scream, only seems gasping for breath with very pain expression and sweat pouring uncontrollably on his beaten up face. The twin, who didn¡¯t involved at all, only stood on the side, stunned.


    As for Goh, he just stunned on his butt. His mouth widely open and closed as if wanting to say something but there is no sound come out, his pupil shrank while widely opening his eyes seems to be in incredible shock.


    Goh cannot help it. Even though he thought that he wouldn¡¯t die just like that, deep on his heart, Goh already know that it is just a wishful thinking of his. But, how come wishful thinking became reality? Even Goh himself have a hard time believing it.


    ¡°You dare to try to kill my son when I¡¯m around? In your dream!¡±


    He is Youdi Murash, younger brother of current patriarch of Murash clan, a third son on Murash household.


    After hearing what the figure in front of him were saying, Goh made a shock expression and then become very bright smile which contain relief on it. Warm current swept his heart, because his father who so strict before, was actually care so much about his son. His smile looks like he thought that he would be thrown into boiling water with bubble bubbling wildly, but only to find out it is just warm water which heals his tired body.


    ¡°FATHER!!¡±


    Goh couldn¡¯t help himself any longer and then start to get up hastily while cupping his hands respectably. After that, Goh start to walk hastily toward Yuwan and Esrad on the ground, laughing maniacally while pointing his finger toward them.


    ¡°HAHA¡­ That¡¯s what you got for trying killing me!! Father, that purple hair brat wanted to kill me!! And that black one humiliates me again and again!! Please avenge your son!!¡±


    Goh face couldn¡¯t be more hysteric, asking for helps while Goh cup his hand toward his father . Chilling light flicker on Youdi¡¯s eyes, and he suddenly made his move.


    *PAHH!


    Crisp sound ringing loudly.


    Youdi¡¯s slap made the person in question thrown 4 meters, while that person bodies rotate at least 8 times before fall to the ground. Very deep red palm marks appear on his face, while very shock expression appear on his face as if he just found out that his girlfriend which he love very dearly, was sleeping with another man secretly¡­was end up as a dude. (BOOM)


    ¡°W-w-why? Why father s-s-slap me?¡±


    The one Youdi slap was his son. As expected from someone who has a look like a scary father who only knows how to slap his son, he indeed slap his own son, thought Esrad when he examined who is the one who attack him.


    Goh try to maintain his calmness as much as he could, while he asks his father. Before, Youdi never slap Goh. Actually Youdi is rarely out from his closed door training, that is why Goh was so surprised when he saw his father protecting him.


    But he does really cannot keep calm, making Goh voice trembled, even though he still use respect tone.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Against all expectation, Youdi actually ask his son back as if that is very stupid question.


    ¡°W-why esteemed father¡­¡±


    Suddenly, Youdi dash toward Goh with the speed as if he is a blur.


    ¡°You dare to call me father!?¡±


    *PAH!


    Not even finishing his sentence, Goh had been slapped again by Youdi on Goh opposite face. Goh bodies, again, thrown back a few meters, his body rotates multiple times before fall to the ground.


    Now, Goh face had very balanced feature with mark on both of his cheek, and in the front face which actually being appreciated by Yuwan who watch silently from the side. It seems like Yuwan still had powers to appreciate such a thing even though he is thoroughly exhausted.


    ¡°You know how disgusting your behavior is!?¡±


    Being asked by that kind of question, Goh stunned can¡¯t answer his father at all. He feels as if all of his act was justified, didn¡¯t wrong in the slightest, let alone worth slapped.


    Seeing Goh confused face, Youdi becoming angrier while his Qi accidentally leak out, making Youdi looks like he going to snap at any moment.


    ¡°But father, you said that you can use whatever means to defeat your opponent.¡±


    Said Goh, trying to justified himself. It seems like Youdi didn¡¯t care about being called father anymore, because he ignore it.


    ¡°That¡¯s true¡±


    ¡°Then why¡­¡±


    This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.


    ¡°Do you know why I¡¯m angry?¡±


    Didn¡¯t even finish his sentence, Goh being cut off by Youdi with very deep tone as if he tries to suppress his anger. Of course Goh didn¡¯t know why, so he just sat there lowering his head without answering.


    ¡°When I¡¯m out for my closed door training, I heard that you go out to settle things from other member. That is why I following you, wanting to know what kind of things which made you go all the way to Murago territory.¡±


    Youdi stop for a moment to catch his breath. He didn¡¯t care how much cold sweat that his own son poured by now.


    ¡°And here I saw you, Goh Murash, laughing maniacally just because you just barely win against a brat who only reaches level 3 elementary rank? How arrogant and proud you are just because of that?¡±


    *Tap Tap


    ¡°Do you know how pathetic your fight is? Panicky, easy to be provoked, and underestimated your opponent when you overestimate yourself¡±


    ¡°And do you know what face do you use when you are facing that brat killing intent? You become so terrified to the point of you can¡¯t even stand up.¡±


    Said Youdi while he very slowly walking toward Goh. His voice become more and more deep with each step he took, the Qi he leak out become more and more dense. Every time Youdi step on the grass, sound of it reverberates on Goh ear as if it is the sound of hammer adding the tension which made Goh terrified even more.


    ¡°Can you explain it to me, Goh Murash?¡±


    Everyone in the Murash clan knows well that Youdi always call Goh ¡°my son¡±, or at least ¡°Goh¡±. But, Youdi Murash call Goh full name which is ¡°Goh Murash¡±, ever since Youdi Murash start the conversation toward his son.


    That is just a small difference, but Goh knew very well that when his father call him like that, Youdi start to treat him as stranger or an adult. No more ties, no more same bloodline, no more Murash clan member, only the talk between men. Calling Goh pathetic and disgusting while Youdi call Goh with his full name shows how much Youdi didn¡¯t want to be called as ¡°father¡± by Goh.


    ¡°But do you know how ecstatic when I¡¯m appear to help you just now? When you face opponent with clearly weak power, you become very arrogant, but when you face stronger opponent, you act like a weak little lamb.¡±


    At this time Youdi Murash already stood in front of Goh. Goh only sat on the spot, lower his head weakly with his body trembled didn¡¯t dare to face his Father.


    ¡°And when I save you just now, you become arrogant again as if your disgraceful behavior just now never happens.¡±


    ¡°That fight only shows me of how weak my son will really is, how my own son disgrace the name of Murash Clan¡±


    Everybody on the grassy plain only silently watching from the side. Even Yuwan and Esrad didn¡¯t planning to run away.Soft wind swaying the grass every now and then without care of what happening now.


    ¡°What pisses me of even more is you dare ordering your own father to disgrace himself to kill a brat, just because you aren¡¯t capable of doing that¡±


    Hearing what his father says, Goh start to realize his mistake. Goh word seems like describing Youdi as someone who would protect him when he is in danger, and avenge him when he can¡¯t solve his problem. Isn¡¯t that description isn¡¯t far off from a bodyguard?


    But Goh still feels confuse for him being arrogant. Is it wrong to be arrogant, isn¡¯t that a given considering he is a member of Murash clan, one of the great clan in southern domain. If he doesn¡¯t act arrogant, who would fear him?


    Who would consider him as someone who mustn¡¯t to be provoked?


    But Goh confusion only last for a moment after what his father said.


    ¡°Goh Murash, we are great clan in the southern domain, which is true. But you didn¡¯t know how vast the world is. You just barely win against level 3 elementary rank and you become arrogant. Greigweiss continent is only a small continent, very small one. If you want to rule other, become stronger, not become arrogant. I don¡¯t want you to be satisfied just because we are great clan from small part of the continent.¡±


    What came from Youdi mouth didn¡¯t seem overbearing anymore. Even though it is still strict voice, but there is a little gentle tone a father would use toward his son.


    ¡°In the cultivation world, there aren¡¯t the strongest, only stronger people. So, if you have a problem, you need to solve it yourself. Weak determination wouldn¡¯t have vast possibility in the future¡±


    It seems like Youdi already satisfied with his lecture, because after saying this, he start to turn around.


    ¡°After this event, I need to temper you personally. Be prepared¡±


    Said Youdi, without looking at Goh anymore. Goh only nodded his head weakly, seems like he is contemplating what his father said


    ¡°You twin over there¡± Said Youdi.


    His strict eyes seems to penetrate the twin body, went straight toward their heart. When called, the twin body trembled, but it seems like they already accept their fate because they didn¡¯t avert their eyes at all. The twin keeps their back straight, waiting whatever Youdi going to said with back full of cold sweat.


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Seeing the twin respond, Youdi eyes flickered, his eyes gleaming with mysterious light with only Youdi knows why.


    After silent for a brief moment, seems like he is contemplating something, he suddenly said,


    ¡°You two have very promising future. Follow me back to the clan. I would decide your fate there.¡±


    What Youdi said mysteriously had a certain tone on it. The twin bodies relaxed a bit after hearing what Youdi said but they were puzzled afterward. Why would Youdi Murash, an important figure in the Murash clan said they have very promising future? He is not the type who like joke around right? Thought the twin at the same time.


    After looking relaxed and confused expressions on the twin face for a brief moment, Youdi Murash start to change his line of sight to Yuwan and Esrad.


    ¡°Now then¡­what should I do to you two?¡±

 #7 : Answer

    Author note : Hah~


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    Chapter 7


    ¡°Now then¡­what should I do to you two?¡±


    Said Youdi Murash. There is a hidden flicker inside his eyes when he saw Esrad¡¯s hair. Of course no one knows but himself what he thinking right now is.


    Yuwan look at each other, not sure what they should do. Actually, Yuwan cannot even stand up at this time.


    Yuwan afraid that, if he got a beating anymore than this, he would faint without a doubt. On the other hand, Esrad didn¡¯t say anything, only silently watching Youdi for whatever he is going to do.


    ¡°How about cripple your hands yourself?¡±


    But both of them went pale when they heard what Youdi said. Youdi actually release his killing intent many times stronger and thicker compared with Esrad¡¯s. In truth, that killing intent that Youdi shows is only a portion of it.


    ¡®Goh, look carefully and contemplate it. And you can tell what the difference between you and them is¡¯


    Said Youdi toward his son with very low voice. His voice overlapped by the winding sound, which only could be heard by Goh.


    Goh, as someone who already being humiliate by Yuwan and Esrad, only shallow back his resentment and displeasure. Even though Goh didn¡¯t like it, going against his father is the last thing he would do.


    ¡°It seem like you brat still didn¡¯t understand a thing¡±


    Youdi said again, while he took a step forward toward Yuwan and Esrad while releasing his pressure. No one knows but Youdi himself that he releases a pressure a little bit off from already what Yuwan¡¯s and Esrad¡¯s body could endure.


    Even Youdi purposely let his son, Goh, to feel what Yuwan and Esrad feel right now with weaker pressure and killing intent than them.


    ¡°Hiii!!¡± Scream Goh.


    Goh crawled back with his butt still touch the ground seemingly really scared out of his wit with cold sweat poured out uncontrollably. The pressure which feels like a big boulder pressing his body, making him having a hard time to breathe. Cold killing seep in from his pores toward his heart, as if making a cut on it making him so terrified that his leg going weak.


    But when he realized that the one his father targeting is not him, he start to relax his body, letting out a relief sigh. But when Goh change his sight toward Yuwan and Esrad, a shock filled face and mind.


    ¡°¡±GUH!!¡±¡±


    These two surprisingly only let out one grunted voice, didn¡¯t retreated a single step, without horror expression on their face, only seems like their face seems paler and sweat poured out from their face.


    ¡°You two, stand up¡±, order Youdi. Of course they can¡¯t say no so they both standing up, with Yuwan staggering about before he can stand straight by Esrad¡¯s help. Yuwan breathing seems rather heavy, but he start to control his breathing, trying to calm himself.


    That¡¯s make Goh surprised yet again.


    Goh himself still feels his limb go weak. If he was told to stand up now, he didn¡¯t dare to believe that he would be able to stand up immediately.


    ¡°I would give you a chance, the one who tried to kill my son, step forward. I would only cripple both his hand and we are done.¡±


    What Youdi said only puzzled both Esrad and Yuwan, and Goh. Youdi clearly heard who is the one who humiliate, who the one who try to kill Goh.


    This is a chance who Youdi gave himself. What would you do? Sacrifice yourself to protect other? Sell your friend to protect yourself? Or begging for forgiveness?


    Whatever their choice were, there is not a single one of them is easy to choose. Yuwan and Esrad, already know what Youdi intention is, start to gulp while looking at each other face.


    After gazing each other for a moment, Esrad said, ¡°You would not take back your word right?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m the one who is asking here¡±


    Esrad question only answered by Youdi stone cold reply.


    They didn¡¯t say a thing afterward, only nodding at each other with a slight smile on their face.


    But afterward it changes into fearless smile while they said,


    ¡°¡±WHY DON¡¯T YOU GO GET IT YOURSELF!¡±¡±


    Shock filled up both Goh and Youdi¡¯s face. Even the not far away the twin seems shocked by their answer.


    Sacrifice yourself to protect other? I don¡¯t want to be crippled yet!


    Sell your friend to protect yourself? In your Dream!


    Or begging for forgiveness? We would rather die!


    Fight!! That is their answer!


    ¡°Now I changed my mind completely. I will kill whoever he is who tried to kill my son before. But if there is no one who would stand forward from both of you for 5 second, I will kill you both.¡±


    Youdi Murash didn¡¯t spout nonsense any longer. He knows what the brat thinking right now.


    In the cultivation world, only strongest would be able to judge. There is no knowing whether Yuwan and Esrad would be spared afterward. Youdi may cripple both of them while Yuwan and Ersad couldn¡¯t do a thing. So, rather than giving up, they choose to fight until the end.


    When Youdi saw the determination on their eyes, Youdi starts to release denser killing intent. The grasses around him start to sway wildly, while Youdi killing intent pressure both Yuwan and Esrad.


    ¡°1...¡±


    Feeling intense killing intense pressuring their bodies, Yuwan and Esrad bodies began to shaking.


    ¡°2¡­¡±


    But they didn¡¯t retreat a single step, while Youdi began closer and closer with them. Actually, Yuwan starts to glance around wildly as if searching for something. Whatever Yuwan looking for, there wouldn¡¯t be anyone around.


    ¡°3¡­¡±


    Every step Youdi took, his pressure become stronger. It is make Yuwan and Esrad couldn¡¯t help but stagger back a few steps. Seeing this, Goh actually sneering at Yuwan and Esrad on his heart. Goh feel likes he didn¡¯t deserve to be scolded by his father. That is why, he actually feels joy on his heart when he saw Yuwan glancing around wildly as if looking for help.


    Suddenly, Yuwan stop glancing around and starts to dash toward Youdi. Esrad seems surprised, but he didn¡¯t ask a thing seemingly knew what is in his friends mind.


    Yuwan in the front, Esrad behind him. Whether Yuwan like it or not, his body couldn¡¯t move like his mind wanted to.


    ¡°4¡­¡±


    Yuwan keeps stumbling every now and then, trying to endure Youdi pressure with all of his might so that he won¡¯t fainted yet.


    But because Yuwan position didn¡¯t that far from Youdi, he already in front of Youdi who still taking a step forward without caring about Yuwan.


    If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    Buk!


    Punched Yuwan directly on Youdi¡¯s stomach with all of his remaining strength. Yuwan¡¯s punch toward Youdi¡¯s stomach creates a rather weird muffled sound. But as expected, it didn¡¯t work at all. Esrad who¡¯s behind Yuwan, didn¡¯t seems perturbed at all and going around Yuwan. He starts to circulate all of his profound Qi without restraint on his clenched hand and swing it right on Youdi¡¯s back head.


    Bang!


    Just like Yuwan, it didn¡¯t work out. Even though Esrad was stronger than Yuwan, it seems like Youdi was on a whole different realm. Actually, it is not it seems. Both Yuwan and Esrad knew it from the beginning that they wouldn¡¯t be able to injure Youdi. They just don¡¯t want to cast away their pride on their last moment.


    ¡°¡­5¡±


    At this time Youdi began to move. Youdi kick Yuwan in the front and grab the neck of Esrad from his back.


    Bang!


    ¡°Gah!¡±


    Yuwan flung away 5 meter while coughing a blood before collapsed to the ground. But he didn¡¯t stop and Yuwan keep thrown backward until it reach 15 meters. Yuwan cough a mouthful of once again before he fainted with white eyes.


    ¡°Guh!¡±


    Grunt Esrad at the same time with Yuwan. But before Esrad could make another sound, Esrad was thrown to the ground and then kicked by Youdi toward Yuwan collapsed body.


    Bam! Bang!


    Like Yuwan, Esrad Cough a mouthful of blood before fainting. The until now grassy plain becomes messed up over here and there with a trail of blood sprouted everywhere.


    On the other hand, Goh who is watching the whole scene keep showing wicked smile without restraint. In Goh mind, both Yuwan and Esrad was complete idiot.


    First, they dare not to accept his father kindness. Whether it is scarifying yourself or other, it doesn¡¯t matter at all. If one of them just steps forward, one of them would go home unscathed. Of course that is just a mere speculation. Even Goh himself didn¡¯t know whether His father would go back on his word or not, but at least it is worth a try.


    Second, if they don¡¯t want to sacrifice anyone, just give up or beg for forgiveness. Instead, they dare to attack while challenging his father. That is really idiot decision on Goh¡¯s eyes. Goh couldn¡¯t help but start imagining Yuwan and Esrad bodies turn into mincemeat, making his wicked smile grew even wider.


    When Youdi Murash began walking toward Yuwan and Esrad collapsed body, Youdi eye widen and his pupil shrinking into a dot. Youdi stop his walk, standing there quietly, not even his son and the twin know what Youdi thinking is. Youdi seems contemplate something while looking at Esrad hair until his face become that of amazement.


    Murash Clan mansion, in the corridor of the mansion.


    Middle-age man with black robe walking with his back straight walking slowly makes his long brown hair fluttering slightly. On his face, strict black eyes and a really stand out scar causing his somber expression become scarier.


    Behind, a youth with the same characteristic with middle-age man and the twin following him quietly as if afraid to make even a slightest sound.


    They are  Youdi Murash, Goh Murash, and the Twin.


    Goh Murash, who from the grassy plain until now didn¡¯t make a sound, began fidgeting anxiously as if he is struggling whether he would say something or not. After struggling for who knows how many time if counted, Goh lip begun parting while he asks his father.


    ¡°Father, may ask something¡±


    ¡°¡­What is it?¡±


    ¡°Why you didn¡¯t do a thing to that Yuwan and purple haired brat?¡±


    Like what Goh said, Youdi Murash didn¡¯t do a thing toward Yuwan and Esrad. After he stood for a while without saying a thing, Youdi Murash leave just like that without a word. That made Goh puzzled to the extreme, but he didn¡¯t said a word and just quietly follow his father go home.


    ¡°¡­I¡¯m asking you to look carefully toward those brat reactions. What do you think?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Youdi Murash didn¡¯t directly answer his son question, but instead ask him back. Goh didn''t know why his father not answer his question directly, but he didn''t dare to ask. So he only need a few moment to contemplate before answering.


    ¡°They are an idiot. There is a really easy answer, but they didn¡¯t choose it and instead fight back.¡±


    On Goh tone of voice, confidence clearly shown as if he want to show the world that his answer were the right, the most logical answer person would ever had.


    Are they an Idiot? If I were they, I would order my partner to step forward and he would be grateful because he would sacrifice himself for ¡°I¡± Goh Murash, could be interpret easily by his answer.


    ¡°¡­if they were you, what will you do?¡±


    ¡°If I was they, I would rather choose¡­¡±


    ¡°You are not choosing¡±


    But, not even finish his sentence yet, Goh answer was cut off by his father somber yet strict reply. By Youdi word alone, Goh could tell that his father was rather angry.


    ¡°¡­You are not choosing Goh, but you will be chosen.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Goh didn¡¯t know how to reply. He actually didn¡¯t understand what his father mean is. But it only last for a moment after Youdi explanation.


    ¡°You know exactly how much you were scared by my pressure. Scared, to the point your limb feels weak, you had a hard time to breath, and your body shaking. When you are like that, your partner would throw you forward and I wouldn¡¯t be surprised if you didn¡¯t have any strength to retaliate at all.¡±


    ¡°¡­There¡­is¡­no way I would become¡­like that.¡± Reply Goh weakly.


    There is not even a tint of confidence and arrogant like he usually has on his answer. His step become slower and slower until he completely stops his walk, while he lower his head weakly.


    Silence


    On his face, reluctant was clearly shown as if he doesn¡¯t want to believe it. But, deep on Goh heart, he can¡¯t refute his father statement. Youdi and the twin couldn¡¯t help but stop their track too. After a few breath of moment, Youdi said,


    ¡°¡­Contemplate it seriously Goh. What you need right now is not stronger cultivation base, but mentality.¡±


    Goh only silently stood there, aura of depression lurking out from all of his body filling the Murash clan mansion corridor.


    ¡°¡­but that reason is not enough for me to slap you, my own son, in front of other¡±


    But after hearing his father last sentence, Goh body shake violently and his depression aura abruptly change into aura of curiosity.


    That is the most important thing Goh confuse of!!


    Why father slap me? Ok I¡¯m in the wrong before, but he never got slapped by father before. Is there another reason for it? Was lurking annoyingly on Goh mind the entire time ever since he was slapped by his father, there got to be reason, there got to be answer.


    He just couldn¡¯t understand his father reasoning and didn¡¯t dare asking for an explanation.


    ¡°¡­because I¡¯m afraid that you already offend the wrong person¡±


    But after hearing his father answer, his body stiffened.

 #8 : Never touch the Fruit Village

    Chapter 8


    ¡°¡­because I¡¯m afraid that you already offend the wrong person¡±


    ¡°¡­what do you mean is¡­?¡±


    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t offend that purple haired brat from the beginning¡±


    Goh¡¯s mind buzzing when he heard that.


    ¡®Offending the wrong person? We are the strongest within western domain! Just who is that purple haired just now!?¡¯


    Even though he thought that, Goh¡¯s body starts to shiver uncontrollably. He knows exactly who his father is.


    Youdi Murash doesn¡¯t like a bad joke!


    Everyone could tell that just by Youdi¡¯s look only. Even when Goh stare at Youdi¡¯s eyes, Goh can¡¯t find any trace of joking. But a question starts to pop up on his mind.


    ¡®Wait. There is no way that purple haired had a background. It seems like he is stil13 years old. Adding up with the fact that he is living in such a crude fruit village¡­¡¯


    Goh¡¯s face lit up because he had something he can argue with. But it dim abruptly as if he was poured with cold water on his face after Youdi said,


    ¡°That purple hair and golden pupil is the unique trait of their clan. I never saw anyone out from their clan who had the same trait. Adding with that brat personality, there is no doubt about it¡±


    Again, shock filled Goh¡¯s face. He doesn¡¯t want to count just how much his expression had change today. Usually, Goh was a proud and arrogant youth. Aloofness and pride always plastered on his expression. If he want something he will take it whether you like it or not. If he asks something, he would get it as if his word was a law. That is how much of important his position as Youdi Murash son is.


    But, that important figure within Murash clan''s eyes actually contain a bit of dread within.


    Youdi did not let his son ask another question, he turn around and start to leave his son behind. But there is no way Goh would end it just like that. There is one important question which still bugging his mind.


    ¡°So what should I do!? Should I apologize!? And what about that black haired brat just now, could I offend him!?¡±


    Shout Goh hastily. His hand spun wildly, asking for an explanation, while his shout reverberate on the corridor¡¯s mansion. There is no one around except themselves, but that sound probably would reach someone ear.


    Youdi stop his step, stood there for a moment before he said something before turning his head around.


    ¡°¡­We will attack Murago clan today, right when the sun reaches its peak. Rest, and try to recover your stamina and Qi as much as possible because you will participate on it. As for the twin, follow me.¡±


    After Youdi said that, he just left without saying another word, leaving the confused and scared Goh behind. Just like before, his father didn¡¯t answer his question.


    As for the twin, they stunned on the spot don¡¯t know what should they do. After the look each other for a moment, they nodded their head and decide to follow Youdi Murash inside.


    On the way, Youdi Murash only walks silently with somber expression on his face, which scared the twin. The twin thought that Youdi¡¯s expression as if telling them that their life would end very soon.


    What they didn¡¯t know was Youdi actually feel like beating his son to pulp right now.


    Youdi know a little of what kind of background Esrad had and yet his son has the probability of offending him.


    The first time Youdi saw that purple hair and golden eyes, his heart trembled. The problem is he didn¡¯t know why. All the things he did before none other than gambling. He slapped his son and then only cripple both limb which they can choose whose. With these, he would seem like the righteous but strict father who wouldn¡¯t just kill someone out of the blue. But he snapped because the brat challenged him instead. That is his mistake.


    ¡®¡­you are not the one I look for. I¡¯m looking for someone with purple hair and golden eyes. He is someone from a big clan from Bologos Continent with proud and fearless personality, not someone half-assed like you ¡¯


    A certain someone pop up on his mind with what he said. Youdi recalling his memory while caressing his scar on his face which He doesn¡¯t know when but that wound feel like prickling again.


    ¡®¡­that guy, who is much stronger than me let me live another day. Someone with proud and fearless personality. Even his enemy was the same. The good thing is that purple haired brat was only protecting the black haired one. If I didn¡¯t kill him or injure him too much, his background won¡¯t touch my clan¡¯


    He is gambling whether Esrad background would touch his clan or not. But if he kill Esrad, that is clearly offending them . That is the reason he kept delayed to kill both the brat and in the end only make them fainted. He didn¡¯t worry too much at that time. If his intuition was wrong, he would just kill them afterward. But on the last moment, he suddenly remembered it which made him wide eyed.


    But one last question remains.


    ¡®What the hell someone from such a clan doing in the remote place such as fruit village?¡¯


    ¡®There is no way the clan behind that kid would let him go far away from their clan. He is still a brat. Considering he already lived at that village, he must be there since a kid even since he was a baby. There must be someone guarding that purple haired one from behind. Or at least they had their own goal.¡¯


    Youdi keep contemplating it while he walks. One speculation after another pop up on his mind but there is no one who would be able to ascertain it whether it is right or not. In the end, he stop thinking, his eyes glittered brightly while his somber face showed that he already reach the last determination.


    ¡®It is decided! We will never touch the fruit village!¡¯


    If we accidently offend them we will be doomed! Thought Youdi while he walks.


    Youdi murash and the twin slowly but surely start to disappear from Goh sight, leaving him behind while he stood still without a word. After about ten breathe of time, he walks quietly while he weakly lowers his head toward one of the room. Meditate.


    ¡®Murash Clan attack will come soon!¡¯ Goh eyes flickered mysteriously. Only Goh himself knew what is he thinking right now.


    At the same time in certain place, inside the wooden house.


    Bloody bodies could be seen lay around all over the place. There are around ten bodies with the wound and several marks could be seen on their bodies and face. All of them seems strong, but they are beaten quiet pitifully.


    And within that house, there are two figure who still standing up with their back straight. One was a somewhat beautiful woman with Silky long brown hair, Smooth white skin, and exquisite body with height 167 cm and black cold eyes. The other one was a guy around middle-age, with robust body, height 187 cm and wound all over his body with bloody clenched hand and an angry look on his face.


    They are none other than Uncle Bolman and Aunt Lutia, and the people they beaten up were their henchmen.


    ¡°W-w-we are sorry boss we wouldn¡¯t do it ag- gubah!¡± said one of the beaten up figure. But not even finishing his sentence, he was punched again by Bolman.


    ¡°Of course you wouldn¡¯t! You ever careless again, your little life will be go make a trip to hell!¡±


    On the usually manly but kind uncle Bolman¡¯s face, the complete fury could be seen. His eyes and face were crimson, his vein pop up all over his face and muscle, his jaw clenched tightly to the point his gum bleed, even his body shaking wildly.


    He doesn¡¯t look like angry anymore, but more like he become a madman!


    ¡°That is enough Bolman. Today is the last time we would be here. There is no next time.¡±


    Suddenly, unhurried and calm voice came from Lutia mouth while she walks forward slowly with her hand in front of her chest.


    ¡°But, because they talking nonsense when working that¡­!¡±


    ¡°Stop it Bolman, calm yourself. Remember the reason we are here in the first place.¡±


    But Bolman who¡¯s already become a madman, didn¡¯t like it when Lutia which should be angry like him, seems rather calm. But when he saw Lutia¡¯s face, Bolman took a deep breath trying to calm his anger.


    This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.


    Because, even though auntie Lutia said that, an angry look too can be seen on her face. Her eyes glittered with coldness as if you would be frozen if you dare to look at her eyes. Being stared by such eyes, made all of Bolman and Lutia become scared witless. Some of them even fainted on the spot because on Lutia¡¯s eyes, cold killing intent which cannot be found when someone killed ten thousand lives was gleaming brightly.


    Her killing intent lurk out from her body while she said,¡°Listen here you d*mn dog. You all never dare to touch even one person from fruit village. If you did, and being found by me¡­¡±


    Lutia didn¡¯t finish her sentence, but her means was crystal clear to them. The remaining henchmen who didn¡¯t fainted start to nod their head hastily as if their head would fall off at any moment, and some who still can talk reply with weak and scared voice.


    ¡°What should we do Lutia?¡±Asked Bolman who already a bit calmed down.


    ¡°It is obvious. For now, we should prepare for the attack at midday. We just need to kill the Murago Clan dog, as for the fruit village¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­we need to protect the villager as much as we could¡±


    ¡°¡­alright¡±


    After a brief conversation, they separate to prepare the things they need. It is rather questionable for why they are attacking under Murash clan. But there is no one who knew, even Yuwan himself.


    If Yuwan was to know, don¡¯t know what kind of expressions he would make.


    What they didn¡¯t know is there is actually a little girl inside the house. Her golden twintail hair flutters softly without a wind while she staring wide eyed at the whole event without anyone noticing.


    She is none other than the little girl who asks Yuwan¡¯s help.


    After both Bolman and Lutia left, her eyes gleam with determination. She looks at the whole scene once again before she left the wooden house hastily.


    ¡®I need to inform big brother about it!¡¯


    She didn¡¯t run, but flying. By her speed alone, she should reach Yuwan¡¯s house sooner than Yuwan himself if compared. But whether she would make it or not, there is no one will know. As for the one who cause the "Reaper Phenomenon", no one knows.


    At the same time, inside the fruit village. The villager which should be doing their activities was gathering at the village elder¡¯s house. Of course elder¡¯s house couldn¡¯t contain the entire villager, so the villager who cannot go in only silently waiting outside the house. Almost all the villager face filled with dread and anxiousness which affect the atmosphere around elder¡¯s house.


    But, different kind of atmosphere could be seen inside Elder¡¯s house. There are 6 people who didn¡¯t have anxiousness and dread plastered on their face while they were sitting on Elder living room.


    ¡°¡­That is what I heard. What should we do elder?¡± said a purple and wavy haired middle-age woman with her eyes glittered brightly with seriousness on her golden pupil.


    ¡°What are worrying about, Dira? We just need kill them if they dare to mess up in our villages¡°


    That worry-less word and lazy voice came from a middle-age man with beard on his chin and indifferent yet confident smile on his face while he playing with his long black hair. What he said just now was the same as someone who say hello toward his neighbor in the morning, such worriless and easy going tone of voice.


    ¡°What are you saying peter, it would be troublesome if we didn¡¯t do a thing beforehand. What would you do if they break all of my goods, especially my Durio fruit?  Even I will kill you if you don¡¯t want to take responsibility~ especially my Durio Fruit~¡±


    That somewhat soft gentle yet confident voice came from long yellow haired woman with white soft skin little lips. You could tell by her voice alone that even though she said it with somewhat teasing tone, she didn¡¯t joking about it.


    Hearing what yellow haired woman said, Peter eye¡¯s gleamed brightly.


    ¡°What is it Buyan? I can¡¯t hear you~¡±


    ¡°Stop it you two, we should ask what Lord Abe and Lord Louki from Murago Clan need to said first.¡±


    But before Buyan replied yet, their conversation was cut off by somewhat old voice. On his face a lot of wrinkles could be seen, but his eyes gleam with the wise of an old man.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to call me ¡°Lord¡±, elder Baily. I¡¯m just a mere newcomer guard on Murago Clan Mansion¡±


    ¡°Well, we cannot decide something without telling Murago patriarch first. Especially we can¡¯t ascertain it without any prove.¡±


    Replied the two people from Murago Clan, which incidentally present inside Elder¡¯s House because they are making a trip to Fruit village a while ago. The former was a youth full of vigor with big round eyes and brown skin with black hair while he scratched his head embarrassedly. The later is middle-age man with sharp eyes and bulging body, talking with serious tone. They both wear a full plated armor with some kind of plant logo which Murago Clan logo on their chest.


    These six people were Auntie Dira, Uncle Peter, Auntie Buyan, Elder Baily, and two people from Murago clan called Abe and Louki.


    The Murago clan guard actually just want to rest a little bit because of work while buying some fruit to eat when they saw a the villager start to running toward them with anxious face until they heard someone saying that there is a meeting inside elder¡¯s house that they decide to ascertain what is going on.


    When the villager hearing what a middle-age man called Louki said, they can¡¯t help but become more anxious. They afraid that they would be killed even before a patriarch heard a thing about it.


    ¡°Actually, did the kid called Yuwan said a thing about when is the suspicious group he saw began their attack?¡±


    ¡°¡­I didn¡¯t know because he didn¡¯t told me or maybe he forgot to¡±


    ¡°¡­In that case, we should ask Yuwan himself about it. In the worst case scenario, we need to bring Yuwan back to the clan mansion¡±


    After a brief conversation, Abe and Louki decide to end their conversation and decide to ask Yuwan personally. All of the villager except Auntie Dira was ordered by Elder Baily to stay behind while he himself with Dira going to show Abe and Louki the way to Yuwan¡¯s house. Dira¡¯s tagging along, could be expected because she just want to meet her son who run after Yuwan before.


    Of course the villager was rather reluctant to end it just like that. But after being scolded strictly by the elder about wasting time, the villagers reluctantly start to part, letting the four through. Even after these four disappear from the villager sight, they didn¡¯t scatter, while they still swarming around Elder¡¯s house waiting patiently.


    Not even one of them could expect that Yuwan and even Esrad were actually fainted on the ground on the grassy plain with wound on their bodies.


    The grassy plain outside of the Fruit Village.


    The grasses sway slowly with the wind, letting the smell of grass spreading around. The weird thing is, the smell of grass contain a little blood smell. That blood smell coming from two bodies which lay on the ground, dripping from their mouth and nose.


    These bodies were the fainted Yuwan and Esrad.


    If the Elder and Dira with Murago Clan Guard were here, they wouldn¡¯t be able to find something different in the grassy plain except for the fainted Yuwan and Esrad, there is no one except them in the grassy plain.


    But, actually there stood an old-man beside Yuwan. His white long hair fluttering softly, his face full of wrinkles and ancientness filled with gentle smile on his face, while he stood straight with his hand clasped behind his back. The weird thing is, he seems transparent, even the grass was pass through him as if he is not there in the first place.


    He just stood there while he staring at Yuwan gently, when suddenly his lips began to part while he said,


    ¡°You are already grown up, Yuwan.¡±


    Said the figure with very soft and gentle voice, contain with longing.


    If Yuwan was to saw him, he would know that figure for sure.


    He was Yuwan¡¯s Grandfather, Syubi Reizem!

 #9 : Syubi Reizem

    Chapter 9


    If Yuwan was to saw his grandfather beside him right now, it was not much of surprise if Yuwan would so happy to the point his face almost split from smiling too wide.


    It is a pity Syubi only showed up when Yuwan fainted. But, no one could prove it whether or not Syubi Reizem showed up late or he was doing it on purpose.


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Syubi wear a white robe without any garment which fluttering softly without a wind. Right now a gentle smile showed on Syubi face, his eyes gleam with kindness but a flicker light of worries could be seen on it.


    He stared on Yuwan¡¯s black and blue wound on his face, bloody nose, his injured gum and teeth, down from Yuwan¡¯s face to his stomach, hand, shoulder, even when he checked Yuwan bodies, his internal was injured quiet badly.


    ¡°¡­I¡¯m sorry Yu. I¡¯m so sorry.¡± said Syubi Reizem softly.


    Quietly, a tears start to appear on the corner of his eyes. Not even a hint of kindness could be seen on Syubi¡¯s wrinkled yet ancient face. Not happiness from his reunion, not his teasing expression he usually used when they are together, but only one expression.


    Regret


    ¡°¡­How come it ended up like this?¡±


    ¡°Where did I do wrong?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m already tried so hard, but why did it ended up like this?¡±


    No matter how much he asking, it¡¯s still the same. No one, not even the heaven can answer his question.


    Because¡­


    ¡°Maybe I suppress his cultivation too much?¡±


    ¡­The one whom responsible can¡¯t even answer it himself.


    *Whoosh


    ¡®SO IT IS YOUR D*MN FAULT YOU OLD GEEZER!¡¯


    Imagination or not, Syubi thought that he saw Yuwan¡¯s bodies convulsed for a moment just now.


    As expected, I¡¯m only imagining things, thought Syubi Reizem confidently. There is no way unconscious person could hear his rambling just now.


    If it is not an imagination, just take it as it is!


    Because Syubi Reizem felt responsible, or maybe any other reason that he didn¡¯t met Yuwan when Yuwan aware of his present, no one except himself know the answer. Syubi know well how persistent his grandson was. He was afraid that he would be asked continuously which even he himself doesn¡¯t know just where does he did it wrongly.


    ¡°¡­with your talent, you should be able to reach absorbing stage easily. You didn¡¯t know how hard it is to suppress your cultivation while deepening it at the same time. I feel bad because if I didn¡¯t overdoing it, you should be able to defeat that brat from before, but it can¡¯t be helped.¡± said Syubi Reizem with regret and sad tone of voice.


    After saying such, he seems like he can¡¯t endure his feeling any longer because tears start to fall off from his eyes. If not because of him, Yuwan wouldn¡¯t meet such a tragic end of being beaten.


    But, a tint of proud could be sense within. Because the more his cultivation suppressed, it means Yuwan talent was deepened at the same time.


    In other word, He did a great job!


    ¡®APOLOGIZE NOW YOU D*MN GEEZER! APOLOGIZE NOW!¡¯


    Syubi let out a deep sigh while he shakes his head as if he wanted to shrug off his imagination of Yuwan¡¯s bodies which seems convulsing again.


    ¡®Maybe I¡¯m too old¡¯ thought Syubi while he wipes his tears with his sleeves.


    Looking at Yuwan once more, Syubi softly recited some kind of spell while he did mysterious incantation gesture. Pale white light suddenly emitted from Syubi¡¯s hand which actually seems invincible from normal people. After that, he lifts his right hand and points it toward Yuwan¡¯s stomach and head, and then shot it toward Yuwan¡¯s Dantian and Mind.


    Syubi didn¡¯t leave after that, but he changes his line of sight toward Esrad who didn¡¯t that far off from Yuwan. His pupil flicker with mysterious light. Light smile appeared on Syubi¡¯s wrinkled face while he did the same things as what he did toward Yuwan¡¯s unconscious bodies with different spell and incantation gesture.


    After he nodded his head seems satisfied with his work, Syubi yet again letting out a deep sigh while he gazed toward a mountain far in the distance, northern of fruit village.


    His gaze as if went through space, passing a 6 meter wide river, a steep cliff, a mysterious and dark cave, and a dense bamboo forest right toward its center.


    In the center of that forest, a big and sturdy Bamboo with rather golden color while it emitted a pale golden light stood majestically. It had 2 big hand of an adult thickness and had quadruple of normal bamboo¡¯s long.


    But, normal people couldn¡¯t be able to see what Syubi saw right now.


    ¡°Even I can¡¯t detect it at all and only realize it today. It is a good thing that that bamboo was not that far from Murago Clan Mansion.¡± Said Syubi while he looks at it for at least three breathe of time while frowning deeply.


    After which he kept changing his line of sight numerous time. Western and southern of fruit village which are Murash Clan and Xenive Clan mansion¡­


    ¡­and then Eastern, Southern and the last one was Northern Domain of Greigweiss continent. His gaze as if could see through every place in Greigweiss continent, shot straight toward the center of certain forest.


    The frown on Syubi¡¯s face began deeper and deeper without even him realizing it.


    ¡°Disaster would befall toward every part of Greigweiss Continet''s domain, but no one realize it yet.¡±


    ¡°¡­I¡¯m already dead. There is still some time after mid-day until it erupts. I hope you can seal it in time, Yuwan.¡± Said Syubi softly with worry contain within.


    After which, he didn¡¯t said a thing anymore, he flicked his sleeve while turning around and then disappear into the distance.


    Not even the time of half incense stick to burn, Elder Baily and co arrived at the scene.


    ¡°This is!¡±


    ¡°Esrad!¡±


    ¡°¡­This is serious¡±


    ¡°We will talk as much as we need afterward. For now, let¡¯s bring them back to the village¡±


    Four people with four different reactions. As expected from an elder, he knows exactly what is more important. The elder ask the Murago Clan¡¯s guard hastily to help brought Yuwan¡¯s and Esrad¡¯s unconscious body back to the village.


    After they arrived at Elder house, commotion was broke out immediately after they saw Yuwan and Esrad condition.


    A lot of villager had their own speculation and conclusion. Whether because Yuwan fighting with Esrad, or they met Magical Beast. But, majority of villager thought that they were attacked by the enemy because Yuwan knew their secret.


    The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    But the most hysteric one was the granddaughter of Elder Baily¡¯s reaction.


    ¡°Yuwan! Esrad!¡±


    Granddaughter of Elder Baily, Chyra, was crying loudly right away after she saw Yuwan and Esrad condition from afar. Chira, Esrad, and Yuwan were always playing together since childhood, which is why Chira care so much about them.


    Her golden hair fluttering wildly, her white skin on her face become paler, her round yet bright brown eyes become pool of tears, while a trail of snot and saliva flying everywhere from her pointed nose and thin small lips while she ran hastily toward them as if they never met for age.


    Seeing Chira¡¯s reaction like that, the villagers face becomes pale as snow, thinking that they were already dead.


    ¡°Chira, Calm yourself! They are only unconscious! You just got in the way if you didn¡¯t calm yourself down!¡±


    But after hearing Elder Baily hoarse yet strict voice who keeps saying that line again and again to calm Chira¡¯s down that the villager start to sigh with relief.


    Esrad Mother, Dira, helped by Chira, began to nurse Yuwan¡¯s and Esrad¡¯s wound inside Chira¡¯s bedroom. They wash all the blood on their body with medical water, grinding green-dot grass and plaster on their external wound and then wrap it with Baina fruit¡¯s leaf.


    On the other hand, Elder Baily was discussing the matter with Murago Clan representative in the Elder¡¯s living room seriously. Worry and disagreement keep showing on Elder old face while Louki, the old guard from Murago Clan keep shaking his head after which said something while wearing somber expression with eyes with filled with determination.


    Dira and Chira didn¡¯t give a single glance toward their conversation but instead keep concentrating toward nursing Yuwan and Esrad. Even though worry still visible on Chira¡¯s expression, it clearly calmed down if compared from before. On the other hand, Dira¡¯s expression was the same as Chira, but a flicker of light could be seen some time on her eyes as if thinking about something.


    In the Elder¡¯s living room.


    ¡°We are decided to brought Yuwan and Esrad back to Murago mansion.¡±


    ¡°Even though I¡¯m quite worried, but in order to persuade Murago¡¯s patriarch, at least Yuwan present was a must. As for Esrad, I will leave that to you, Dira, as his Mother to decide.¡± said Louki, the older one of two Murago¡¯s guard.


    That is the conclusion they reach from the discussion between elder and Murago¡¯s guard just a moment ago. Yuwan was a must, as for Dira, as Esrad mother she can choose whether to let Esrad to be brought back to the clan or not.


    After contemplating for a while, she nodded her head as confirmation to let Esrad to be brought back to the clan. After which, they left hastily toward their clan with two horses with the unconscious Yuwan and Esrad.


    The villager can¡¯t help but yet wait again in the Elder¡¯s house. Whatever Murago decision is could save their little life. Of course waiting even for a whole day won¡¯t bother them in the slightest. As for Dira, she quietly left Elder¡¯s house with flicker on her golden eyes back to her house.


    Back to Grassy plain outside of Fruit Village.


    ¡°Waa~...hic¡­Big brother, where are you~!?... hic¡­why you are can¡¯t be found anywhere~!?¡±


    A pitiful little girl figure crouching alone while sobbing could be seen on the place of Yuwan and Esrad unconscious body from before.


    ¡°Waa~ You said that you will wait at home, but I can¡¯t found you anywhere~¡­hic¡­ why are you breaking our promise~¡­hic¡­hic¡­the villager will¡­the villager will¡­¡±


    Her white and adorable face was distorted from anger and sadness with tears and snot covering it made her looks become really adorable yet pitiful.


    ¡°¡­WAH~!!!¡±


    In the end, she just couldn¡¯t endure her feeling any longer and end up crying more loudly as if calling for someone¡¯s help. Hear tears leak out uncontrollably like a waterfall sliding into her white little cheek and then dissipate into particle of light. What make it worse, she was already dead so other than another wandering spirit which don¡¯t know how far the nearest one was, no living things could hear nor see her.


    Suddenly¡­


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong little girl? Why are you crying? Maybe grandpa could help you.¡±


    And old and somewhat wise voice came from little girl¡¯s back. Hearing this, her face lit up while she stood up hastily while she wipes her tears and snot with her tiny hand. When she turn around, letting her golden twintail hair flutter, she saw an Old man with long white hair while he wears a simple yet seems divine white robe. On his old face, worry could be seen clearly even though he tried to cover it with light smile.


    ¡°¡­Who are you?¡± Said little girl while she backed off a few step.


    ¡°¡­why are backing off? Anyway, my name is Syubi Reizem, what is your name little girl?¡± ask Syubi softly while forcing his smile out.


    ¡°¡­I¡¯m Lisa¡±


    When the little girl, Lisa backing off just now, Syubi felt something stabbing on his heart but he decide to ignore it while asking her name. In the end, he asks a few questions to Lisa for why she is crying. When he heard it, Syubi eyes gleam brightly while an idea pop up in his mind.


    ¡°Little Lisa, could you do me a favor? I will give you the big brother location as a reward¡±


    That is his idea. He would give her Yuwan¡¯s location, but she need to do something for him. He wanted to tell Yuwan something which he could do by visiting Yuwan¡¯s dream. But someone tend to forget their dream when they woke up.


    That is why; Little Lisa could become the reminder.


    ¡°¡­my mom said not to believe suspicious word from suspicious person¡± said Lisa innocently.


    ¡°Guhah!¡±


    But Little Lisa reply made Syubi couldn¡¯t help but cough of blood.


    Such innocent yet sharp remark!


    Honest and adorable little girl never told a lie!


    It took an entire half incense stick to burn to persuade Lisa. Even though Syubi looks suspicious, Lisa indeed need help right now so she actually rather thankful for it.


    After Lisa left the place hastily toward Murago Clan Mansion location, Syubi just stood there even after Lisa disappear in the distance.


    ¡°¡­what did I do wrong? Is it karma? Am I that suspicious by little girl perspective?¡±


    In the end, he just shrugged his shoulder while maintaining an ¡°I don¡¯t care of what she said¡± expression. He flicked his sleeve; turn around while he flies into the distance.


    ¡°¡­it hurts¡±


    As expected it still hurt, thought Syubi while he clutch his chest tightly.

    Author''s Note : If I''m lucky, another chapter should be done today~

 #10 : Preparation

    Chapter 10


    Murago Clan, Murash Clan, Xenive Clan. These 3 were the name of three great clan which their name known throughout western domain of Greigweiss Continent. In the big mansion near the mountain, a big mansion could be seen while a flag with some kind of plant as logo fluttering with the wind atop of its mansion. It is hard to tell how big this mansion is, but it had the size of 4 story building.


    That is Murago Clan mansion.


    On one of room inside that mansion which seems like quest room with the size of 20 of adult¡¯s feet, two youth with a lot of bandages on their bodies could be seen lay unconscious on the big bed.


    Suddenly, one of them bodies shook lightly while his eyelids slowly start opening. Confuse could be seen on his golden pupil, but he shakes his head lightly while he tried to get up from the bed. When he sat up on the bed, he starts to gaze around him while he doing some stretching seems trying to figure out his whereabouts and his body¡¯s condition.


    He is Esrad.


    When he realized that he was together with Yuwan inside of huge room which he didn¡¯t know of, he began to speculate what is the thing that already happened when they are unconscious.


    ¡°¡­a huge room with some expensive ornamental. Both I and Yuwan¡¯s wound had been treated with care. Our clothes had been changed with good quality¡¯s black robe, while two plates of black bread porridge and water prepared as if they want us to eat and drink immediately right after we woke up.¡±


    ¡°¡­we are inside Murago Clan¡¯s Mansion¡±


    ¡°Murash Clan wouldn¡¯t bother to brought us back after beat us up. As for Xenive Clan, it is unlikely for them to even know a thing about this.¡±


    As if Esrad could saw everything when he unconscious, the scene of himself and Yuwan brought back to Murago Clan¡¯s mansion after they were found by them played out on his mind. He could even imagine Chira¡¯s crying face while she shouts him and Yuwan¡¯s name repeatedly.


    His mother was a strict one when it comes to teaching. Esrad mother always remind him to keep calm while analyzing his surrounding without panic. Esrad couldn¡¯t help it because that was family circumstances requirement.


    ¡°Even though we didn¡¯t got killed by Youdi Murash, that was the worse gamble ever we made back there.¡±, mutter Esrad as he talk to no one in particular.


    When Yuwan starts glancing around hastily, Esrad realize that Yuwan was searching for Reaper¡¯s present. Reaper was mysterious existence which always knows when or who is the one who would get near to their death. When Esrad saw Yuwan starts to attack Youdi Murash, he knows that there is no ¡°Reaper¡± around.


    What make it worse gamble was there is no telling whether they would live with their four limbs intact or not.


    After confirming Yuwan condition from his sight, Esrad eyes start to flicker brightly while clutching his own stomach. He began shut his eyes while and then cross-legging tried to meditate in order to ascertain his condition.


    After a few breath passed, Esrad¡¯s bodies start to shake lightly as if tremor was running amok on his insides. His breathing deepened while worldly Qi suddenly start to appear and then gather around him, sucked into his Dantian.


    That Qi, contain a very unique effect, slowly began to strengthen Esrad¡¯s muscle, bone and Esrad¡¯s perception and then slowly but surely merging with Esrad¡¯s Dantian. That scene happened for a few breathe of time until it suddenly stop and Esrad eyes slowly opened.


    His golden pupil shone brightly; containing a unique worldly Qi which he never had before. Elementary rank was like potential stage. They can¡¯t absorb a Qi from the world, only able to refine it with cultivators own body. If cultivators didn¡¯t have a potential, he/she wouldn¡¯t be able to reach 10 level elementary rank unless they use huge amount of time and resources.


    Esrad opening and closing his hand feeling his own strength, cause smile to creep on his tanned face. But it changed into grim expression with his eyes flickering with determination. When he changes his line of sight toward the unconscious Yuwan, longing look could be seen on his eyes as if the one he saw was another person¡¯s figure. After he clutches his hand tightly, Esrad start to get on his feet, getting out from the room with haste.


    ¡°¡­I need a sword¡± said Esrad with low yet determinate voice with his eyes flickering with burning determination.


    What Esrad didn¡¯t know was¡­


    ¡®Kuku¡­why is the time pass slowly!?¡¯


    ¡®


    We¡­just need to endure it a bit longer¡­¡¯


    ¡®¡­I¡¯m starving!¡¯


    ¡­on the roof, window, wall, corridor, even flying outside of Murago Clan Mansion, Reaper was gathering as if they had party.


    ¡®ENDURE IT!¡¯ ¡®ENDURE IT!¡¯¡®ENDURE IT!¡¯¡®


    On their non existence blackish face, very wicked gleam on their eyes gleaming brightly while they laughing maniacally with their crisp and hoarse voice. Whether Yuwan want to denied it or not, when he saw such scene, Disaster was the only one Yuwan could think of.


    ENDURE IT!¡¯


    At the same time in the certain forest.


    ¡°WA~¡­BIG BROTHER~!¡±


    Lisa tiny figure was flying at high speed throughout the forest. Her tears leaking out continuously without a hint of it dried up as if she wanted to water the tree. Well it couldn¡¯t be helped if a little girl who got lost in the forest alone with a least 3 evil looking Reaper following her behind in hot pursuit while laughing creepily.


    ¡°WA~¡­hic¡­HELP ME~!¡­BIG BROTHER~!¡±


    What she didn¡¯t know was, the ¡°Reaper¡± actually didn¡¯t have a slightest interest toward her at all. They just wanted to head toward Murago mansion, which accidentally was the same direction as her.


    It seems like Lisa¡¯s struggle wouldn''t end yet if she know that she need to check all of the Mansion¡¯s room but need to wait patiently for Yuwan to wakes up when she found him.


    In Yuwan¡¯s room right after Esrad left, Yuwan¡¯s bodies starts shaking while sweat appear on his forehead as if he had a nightmare.


    On the other hand, inside Yuwan¡¯s dream, pitch black dominating the surrounding area.


    In the world of darkness, no one allowed to see anything, no one allowed to hear anything. No matter how much you cry, no matter how much you call for help, the darkness will shallow it without order, without warning with one gulp.


    In this world of darkness, a Yuwan¡¯s figure wearing a black robe could be seen crouching alone while embracing his own body tightly. Even though he didn¡¯t make a sound, it could be seen that his body shaking uncontrollably as if he was freezing from cold.


    You won¡¯t be able to see what kind of expression he had right now because of his long black hair which covering it.


    But from how weak his looks right now, you could tell that he was scared.


    Scared of darkness.


    ¡®Grandpa! Where are you!? Where am I!?¡¯


    ¡®I-I¡¯m scared dammit!¡¯


    ¡®How come I ended up in this place anyway!?¡¯


    ¡®I just need to wait for someone to pick me up.¡¯


    Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.


    ¡®That¡¯s right! If I fall asleep, it would be fine!¡¯


    Shout Yuwan on his own mind while he tightly shut his eyes. He keep babbling on and on in order to cover his feeling, to keep his mind busy because he don¡¯t want to be reminded that he was alone in this place which he scared of. He didn¡¯t feel this way when he falls asleep. Maybe because he knows that he was inside the house.


    Reason could it be or not, Yuwan started to feel this way when he was a child, when he went to Auntie Dira¡¯s house with his grandfather to cure her sickness. At that time, even though his grandfather didn¡¯t told him anything, even though Yuwan couldn¡¯t remember a thing, every time he was in the place without single speck of light, his body would start to shake uncontrollably while strength couldn¡¯t be felt anymore from his muscle as if all of them went to a far away trip.


    Suddenly, Yuwan feels someone come near him. His body trembled, but he couldn¡¯t help but took a peek to whomever he is who¡¯s standing in front of him right now.


    ¡®As expected, this place was too dark to even saw that mysterious person figure even though our gap was not that far¡¯ thought Yuwan feels dejected.


    Even though he know that the person in front of him was wearing long robe without garment, it is not enough to tell for who is he. When he feel dejected, warm and pleasuring current sweep his heart, creating a tiny pecks of light which start to come out from his chest. From just one light, it becomes two, three, four, until there are around 20 tiny bright yet gentle light revolving slowly around him. The scene was so beautiful adding up he is in the center of it while surrounding area was pitch black, making him looks like being embraced by goddess of fortune making tears to appear on the corner of his eyes without him realizing. Even his body starts to stop shaking while he enjoying the scene.


    He slowly lift his hand, trying to touch that beautiful light, hoping he could brought it back when he feels lonely, when suddenly someone voice which he couldn¡¯t help but get used to reach his ear.


    ¡°¡­isn¡¯t it beautiful, Yu¡±


    Yuwan¡¯s body shook greatly, while he abruptly lifts his head as if trying to figure out whether he heard it wrongly or not. When the tiny light¡¯s light shone on that mysterious person¡¯s face, the tears on the corner of Yuwan¡¯s eyes start to flow on his cheek, dropping to the ground while he leapt to that mysterious person.


    Yuwan¡¯s overdo leap cause their bodies collided rather strongly creating a muffled sound while that mysterious person stumble backward a step. But that mysterious person only smile apologetically while he softly caresses Yuwan¡¯s back with kindness.


    ¡°¡­grandpa¡±


    ¡°¡­long time no see, Yu¡±


    The mysterious person was none other than Syubi Reizem, Yuwan¡¯s grandfather. Yuwan didn¡¯t lift his head in the slightest while putting all of his might covering his face on Syubi¡¯s chest. Syubi didn¡¯t say anything for he knows that Yuwan was trying hard to suppress his sobbing and tears.


    In Syubi Reizem¡¯s eyes, Yuwan Reizem was rather cheeky, fearless, stubborn and prideful yet soft and kind hearted kid. He was scared and missed his grandpa but don¡¯t want his tears to be seen by his grandfather. He don¡¯t want to be called a kid, called unsightly and tearful because he don¡¯t want someone to question his man¡¯s pride. Syubi only waiting for Yuwan to settle his feeling patiently while watching the beautiful light which swirling around them. After a moment passed, Yuwan began to slowly lift his head staring his grandpa straightly with little smile on his face.


    When Syubi saw this, he smiled Yuwan¡¯s back while he swing his hand slowly while said,


    ¡°It is not appropriate place to talk right? Why don¡¯t we change the atmosphere?


    Suddenly, the surrounding area became brighter. The once pitch black place they are in start to had visible change. The brightly sun shone above their head, sound of leaf and grass rustled because whooshing of the wind, mountain that can be seen not far away. But what took Yuwan¡¯s interest more was the bamboo forest they are in right know. Because of the light which seeps in through bamboo¡¯s gap, Yuwan¡¯s surrounding became beautiful place adding up with the soft wind making that place had a calm and peaceful atmosphere.


    ¡°Let¡¯s straight to the point. Yu, you need to listen carefully because I can only say it one time.¡±


    ¡°¡­Wait a minute Grandpa. Have we met before?¡±


    ¡°¡­Why are you asking?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know but there is this annoyance feeling which I can¡¯t shrug off. It feels like I heard something outrageous but


    I can¡¯t recall it at all. Have you done something to me again?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be a fool Yu! We don¡¯t have enough time! We can talk it later!¡±


    ¡°¡­alright¡±


    Syubi don¡¯t want to waste more time, which is why he wanted to cut the case into the main problem. But the weird thing is, Yuwan feel like there is some kind of feeling which wan to force him to move his punch straight to Syubi¡¯s stomach. That felling was the same as when Yuwan had been swindled by his grandpa without him knowing when he was a child.


    But when Yuwan heard the strict and serious tone on his grandpa¡¯s voice, he swallowed back all of his question, annoyance and puzzlement. Even though he said that, actually a bucket of sweat start to flow on Syubi Reizem¡¯s back.


    Of course as an old timer who already reach the art of prank and trickery into mastery, he wouldn¡¯t let his felling showed up on his face and instead quickly change the topic.


    ¡°Listen carefully Yu and never forget it when you woke up. Western Domain, no, all of the domain in the Greigweiss continent will meet its biggest disaster they ever met.¡±


    ¡°WHAT!?¡±


    And then, the lecture of Syubi Reizem¡¯s started on Yuwan¡¯s Dream.


    At the same time inside Murago Clan Patriarch¡¯s room.


    Patriarch robust body drenched with sweat while vein pop up on his square majestic face. His deep brown hair was fluttering without wind while a baleful aura seep out from his body as if he tried to control his killing intent and anger. On his hand, transmitter jade with the shape of pearl with jade like appearance could be seen glowing brightly while he talks to the other end of the transmitter.


    ¡°Don¡¯t joke with me Zurido! You want me to give half of my territory just to lend me your assistance!? They wouldn¡¯t abruptly start a war if they didn¡¯t feel confident of their winning rate! As Xenive Clan patriarch, you know exactly that we can¡¯t beat Murash Clan if we don¡¯t work together!¡± shout him with deep and strong tone of voice.


    ¡®¡­hey Anolio, considering from your answer, I will help you out without pay¡¯


    ¡°¡­Let me hear your questions first¡±


    ¡®¡­Do you know the place where you could hide the hostage without us knowing?¡¯


    !!!


    Voiceless scream comes out from Patriarch Murago Clan, Anolio¡¯s thick lip. He knows exactly what Zurido mean by that. After Anolio reply with ¡°not far off from the battlefield¡±, he breaks the transmitter with his hand and took something like talisman with Plant as a logo from his yellow robe¡¯s pocket.


    He gazes at it for a moment, before suddenly the talisman emitted a bright light before it torn to pieces. At every Elder and important figure within Murago Clan¡¯s mind, deep and strict voice rang out loudly.


    ¡°GATHER IN THE MEETING HALL! WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AN EMERGENCY MEETING!!¡±


    That sentence became the signal of ¡°Three Great Clan¡¯s War¡± Preparation.
