Analyzing my body, I did some stretched and some swings around "It seems all is fine. The new domain even helped to stabilize my other one, making it easier to control" Looking around at the aftermath of my domain unleashed I couldn't help to smirk "It's lucky that Tang San appeared in another place. Better leave this place quickly, I don't want to attract unwanted people or beast"
I quickly ran without any direction in mind. Finally finding a quiet and calm area. I took from my storage a powder and placed it all around, this powder being the typical one to mask my essence, odor... to spirits beast.
I placed my hand in my bracelet, in front of me appeared the wings of the Golden Three-headed Bat King, over them there was a black ring hovering "Perfect! The spirit ring lasted, maybe putting it in the storage cause for it to last longer, it makes sense as in an enclosed space would be more difficult to disperse" I said for myself "And for the bat to form a spirit bone, the mental state of the beast affect at its probability, being easier when it willingly dies or dies with a lot of anger. It was very easily killed, I could suppose that it made it angrier than if Tang San and Liena killed it"
I sat cross-legged, the wings on my hands. I infused spirit energy to them, this was to adjust the new spirit bone to mine, making suitable to be absorbed. The wings of 10 meters of wingspan, quickly reduced to be over 2,5 meters long.
I invoked the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in my right hand. I concentrated, making the black ring attracted to the sword. The ring started being absorbed by the sword while the wings moved towards my back "Now!
My idea was absorbing the spirit ring and the wings spirit bone at the same time, both influenced by my comprehension in the Slaughter. Looking at the novels or other cases, when one is absorbing a spirit ring, was the moment when the spirit is more easily influenced, being possible to even mutate the spirit. I would take advantage of the sword trying to absorb the spirit ring and made it to absorb my Slaughter Energy, making it more suitable for me. Not only that, the spirit ring when absorbed was also the moment when it was more influenciable, lots of cases were it even the ring could grow older in that instant, I expected it to grew older and obtain a skill more suitable for my style.
Little by little the ring was being absorbed. The wings changed its golden color for a black one, but some golden color lingered, in the form of golden veins over the wings. The wings bent forming a V, then shot toward my back, piercing my thoracic vertebrae, between the scapulas. "Son of a bitch!" I shouted due to the pain. You know when you have a blood analysis and the medics pierced you with a needle to find a vein, but they don't find it easily and the bastards starts moving the needle a little around. It was similar, but you must change the needle for a fucking sword at your back! And the movements were a lot more aggressive. I could notice my bones merging with the wings, crawling around trying to merge.
After half an hour the wings completely merged, having obtained an external spirit bone, wings type, considered the most wanted. Even if you could fly when attained the spirit douluo rank it wasn't at a speed comparable with running, an it agility, movement midair sucked, so even if the could fly, when they use all their power they usually are on ground. However, with a wing spirit bone when controlled would improve a lot your flying capabilities.
Finally, I could concentrate on the ring, that was slowly being absorbed by the sword, being very compatible it was influenced by my insights in Slaughter and the wings bone spirit, it grew stronger and older, now it would be over 60.000 years old in power at least, this was a comparison with Fenrir's rings. I closed my eyes and started absorbing it, combate, dissolute and finally internalization it, completing it after 3 hours.
<3rd POV>
In the outer part of Star Duo Forest, it could be seen a young man or boy, seemingly 20 years old, cross-legged sat in a clear. This clear area was surrounded by dead plants and trees, all of them rotten, seemingly had died a long time ago.
The young man had a peculiar sword on his hand, surrounding it, there was a black ring. The most peculiar of the boy was his black hair, black that resembled an abyss with no escape. The most peculiar was that little by little white strands appeared which were white like the snow, making a quiet contrast between black and white, this white strands increased, more black hair turning white. After some time, the previous black-haired boy was white-haired now.
The boy opened his eyes, beautiful golden eyes shining like stars. He stood up wandered some time without aim and approached a big tree. He put both of his hand at the tree and hit in strongly with his head, tears filling his eyes.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" I blamed while hitting the tree while crying. After 10 hit the tree finally broke, falling down. I had some blood on my head. Tired, I fell back on the ground.
I looked at my left hand and concentrated in it, entering its mind space. I found myself in the black and white space, for some reason the black seemed to shine brighter now. In the middle of it stood my black-haired self, Paul. He smirked and said "Congratulations taking the control back"
I clenched my hands angry "Bastard! Mayi had died because of you!"
"Really?" Paul made a shocked face, surely a sarcastic one "If I remember correctly, the one that killed her was Tang San, he was so full of himself that decided to act like a god, deciding the fate over all the people living in Slaughter City, when he didn't even try meeting them"
"It's your fault! Mayi wouldn't have come if I wasn't there, this wouldn't have happened if you didn't take the control! Moreover, you! With your so-called future knowledge, should already know what would happen, you could have stopped him" I blamed Paul.
"It may be true, I already knew, but you think that I was at the best state of mind there? I couldn't think properly at that time" He said with a little of lament "Whatever. What is done, is done, look to the future"
"You!" I signaled at him "You would never take the control again. Thanks to the new ring, I new personality permitted me to push you away, I learned more about the other personalities, they would block you!"
"I know and I don't mind," Paul said smirking "You really thought that I wouldn't know that when I absorb a ring, you would return. I always knew it. I waited until finishing all my matter to give you the control" He started laughing "You really thought that you tricked me. Hilarious!"
"If you knew about, why return the control?" I spatted.
Paul opened his arms "Because I want to be the strongest. If I had stayed in the spirit king realm, I could have stayed in control, but I won't be stronger. I gave the control because I don't need it. I made all the preparations" A powerful black aura surged from him. I flinched at that aura feeling scared to it "When we arrived at rank 70, we will fight. Struggle, try to attain my level, it doesn't matter, I would be the winner! There's no need to be wary of you. I would stay out from now own, try whatever you like" His black aura shot towards me, it was pushing me outside the mind space, I was completely blocked by it, unable to force staying there "I would let you use the Oreo, use it well" he said smirking, finally pushing me outside.
Opening my eyes outside, I was laying on the ground. I punched the ground "Fuck!". My eyes fully opened shocked seeing my left hand that had punched the ground, a black faint aura surrounding it. It wasn't only the hand, all my body emitted this aura. "How can it be?" I said shocked.
I invoked my sword in my right hand "
I looked at my sword, its colors became darker and its edges were a lot sharper than before, being influenced by Paul. I sat cross-legged and cultivate focusing in my sword. 6 rings appeared around the sword. After some time I opened my eyes "I can't use the six skill, it has Paul energy in it, using it would influence me towards his path" A pair of black bat's wing grew of my back "He even obtained an external spirit bone, the lucky bastard! I'll need to clean it before using it"
"Before, the difference between us wasn't too much, I could win over him thanks to my spirit, but now, he is much stronger than me. I don't have any chance to win him" I clenched my teeth "Fuck the offensive intent. If I want to go against Paul, I will need to focus on my Protection comprehension, I'll need to weaken Paul. I need to be much stronger if I want to win" I said resolutely.
