Chapter 42 - Safe Box

"How are we going to open this now?", Yami also got tired, but remained focused on the goal that was about to be achieved.

"With sand, after all is the only thing left.", when he held the pillars Shen Hua spent all his air power, leaving only his earth and water powers, but as his water power is only as a last resort he did not count.

Shen Hua knelt in front of the door controlled her sand and passed it under the door. Then he began to pull the door open slowly, pulling the sand back.

'Lucky for you, the strength of the sand does not depend on your strength, otherwise you would not be able to enter this vault.'

'Really, my earth power is the best. It would be the fire one, but it comes with an annoying parasite that stresses me.', Shen Hua said jokingly, he realized that Ichimaru tried to make him angry Ichimaru did and managed to calm down.

'I know how it is. I received a very good body, but with an annoying and useless conscience.', Ichimaru didn't like being called a parasite, but kept pretending to be happy.

'And that annoying conscience wants a break.', Shen Hua silenced Ichimaru when the door finally opened wide enough for them to enter.

As soon as there was enough room Yami came in excited. After collecting his sand Shen Hua entered too.

The safe is twice the size of the room they were both in. There are piles of gold and scattered jewels. It also has various chests, armor, weapons, some spiritual items on pedestals, and most importantly spiritual crystals.

"Christmas came early this year.", Shen Hua stopped beside Yami who was shocked by the amount of treasures.

"What's Christmas?", Hearing Shen Hua, Yami came out of her stupor.

"Nothing. No need to explain, pick up all the spiritual crystals and the spiritual items. With the space left, pick up the most valuable things you can find."

"Okay. No cheating, later we'll split everything up.", Yami said to make sure they didn't fight over the items.

"I know. Don't worry I wouldn't steal my little sister.", Shen Hua started picking up the spiritual stones without even looking at them.

Yami was going to respond but seeing that Shen Hua starting to pick up the items she went to another pile and started picking up spiritual crystals as well.

The two went through all the piles taking all the spiritual crystals and spiritual items. The rings still have plenty of room so they both started to pick up the most valuable weapons and armor.

While gathering weapons Shen Hua found two katanas, one blue and one white. Shen Hua drew his sword. The blade is extremely sharp, with only a glimpse Shen Hua realized that it is deadly weapon.

Shen Hua paid the two swords and put them in his ring, 'These I will want for myself.'

After picking up a few more items their rings became full. "Too bad we can't get anything else.", Shen Hua and Yami filled their rings and met in front of the door.

"All right. We took all the spiritual crystals and got twelve spiritual items, plus some weapons and armor. It was a good rip off.", Yami was very excited about everything they took. She doesn't care much about the items but understands that they are very important to her master.

"It was good but it's not over yet. We have to run away and I don't have much power left.", Shen Hua saw how much power he was able to recover and it was not much, 'I have lightning power enough to make two leaps only. I can jump over the wall and some emergency.'

"How much lightning power do you have left?", Yami remembered that they still had to flee and that Shen Hua is low on power.

"Enough for two jumps. We'll soon lose a lot of time, we have to get out before the guards find the four dead at the observation post.", Shen Hua stepped out of the vault, past the guards' bodies and started up the stairs, with Yami behind him.

"Going out the door won't work. Help me look for another way out.", Shen Hua arrived at the library and started looking for another way out.

After looking all the library they found none. "Want to break a window?", Yami pointed to one of the windows while asking.

"Even if we don't make noise, walking the castle wall will get a lot of attention.", Shen Hua denied the idea.

"How about you try to poison the guard again?", Yami thought of another plan.

"I think it's going to have to be that. It's risky, I won't see the guard position and we can be seen, so get ready.", Shen Hua walked to the door and knelt down.

'The armor of these guards does not protect the thighs, I have to hit this area. It will depend on luck. 'Shen Hua put his hand near the door and ran the sand under it.

Closing her eyes Shen Hua imagined the shape of the sand and molded it into a whip with a blade at the tip. After shaping it Shen Hua cut horizontally at the height of the guard's leg, until he felt a resistance.

As soon as he felt the resistence, he pulled the sand back as fast as he could, he fell silent and signaled for Yami to climb on your back.

'Ten, nine, ..., three, two, one, zero.', after telling enough time Shen Hua opened the door a little. As soon it opened wide enough, Shen Hua stepped out, jumped, stuck to the wall, and clamped onto the door.

The guard leaned back just as he had last time, seeing this Shen Hua sighed with relief as. They climbed the ceiling and came back the same way they did before.

When Shen Hua saw the door to the stairs again other guards stood in front of it. 'The stairs will not give, before I could kill them because of the girl, so no one suspected, but now I have no cover. I didn't want to go outside, but I think it will have to be that way. '

Shen Hua explored the floor trying to find a place to get out of the castle. After searching for a few minutes, he heard an explosion in the garden.
