Chereads / Way Of The Darkness / Chapter 96 - Acid

Chapter 96 - Acid

When Xue Mo talked to Raka, Lu Yao got curious. In his memories and the time she spent with him, she rarely saw him talking to his enemies as he thought it a nuisance and something unnecessary. In his opinion, if they were going to fight, why should he waste time talking?

Lu Yao had finally understood why after seeing what Xue Mo did next.

"You must be thinking why I am suddenly talking to disgusting beings like you, a human. And I will gladly tell you since you should know what will happen to you next?" After saying that, Xue Mo suddenly extended his fingernail and cut his right-hand wrist, letting a purple-colored blood drop on top of the recovering Raka.

Yes, Raka quickly recovered in front of Xue Mo and the others' eyes, thanks to the object in his hand, that even after falling down to the ground, he didn't let go of.

Xue Mo saw this as an opportunity, and when the purple blood collided with Raka's flesh, a different reaction than what the crown expected occurred.

The blood immediately burned through Raka's flesh and entered his body while making a sizzling sound. It was as if acid was penetrating Raka's flesh and not some weird colored blood.

After the purple-colored blood pierced through Raka's flesh and entered his body, his already distorted face and mind that almost got used to the pain, allowing him to think for a second, suddenly went blank again. Simultaneously, Raka's eyes bulged out, and his veins were starting to burst to show just how much pain he was in.

Even in the state he was in, Raka, who had become a target for Xue Mo's new ability, continued to shiver on the ground, making him seem like he was put in a frozen landscape. And unfortunately for him, the weapon that had been healing him all this time, albeit slowly, was now a significant hindrance to him.

Raka wanted death, but couldn't have it, he wanted to live, but he knew he wouldn't. The only thing Raka's subconscious could do was regret. He regretted accepting the mission that made him meet such a monster.

After a few minutes of torturing Raka, Xue Mo got bored. After all, he had been used to torturing people for a very long time now, and he knew that the amount of pain Raka was now feeling was the highest he could achieve, which made him happy but also bored.

Even Xue Mo, someone who had perfected the art of torturing to unimaginable degrees, was because he had been doing it for thousands of years, that Xue Mo was able to maximize Raka's pain. While at the same time, giving a visual lesson to Lu Yao about torturing people, if not for that, Xue Mo wouldn't waste his time on someone like Raka and instead finish him off fast.

Delvin knew that he had been silent for some time now. He didn't want his presence to be forgotten. So he searched for something that would allow him to jump into the conversation, and when his eyes laid on the orb, Raka had been holding onto, as if his life depended on it, Delvin seemed as if he found his benefactor.

"Young Master, you might not know, but this orb in Raka's hands was made by none other than the Devil emperor and the Holy venerate." Delvin started the conversation making Xue Mo, Lu Yao, and Hesroth lay their eyes on him.

Raising an eyebrow in confusion, Xue Mo waited for Delvin to continue, which he did right after, "From your confused looks, it seems you don't know who the Devil emperor and the Holy venerate are, then let me tell you what young Miss's true origin is.

The Madam, the young Miss's mother, was born from two high ranking nobles of the Devil and Angel race. These two were the Devil emperor's younger brother, who has the highest bloodline of the Devil race, and the daughter of the Holy venerate, who similarly has the purest and highest bloodline of the Angel race.

When these two got together and ran away, both the Devil emperor and the Holy venerate, became angry to the degree where they made a temporary alliance to hunt down the traitors.

Thankfully, the Madam in her younger days was able to escape and grow up before meeting my master, where they fell in love. It was also about that time that the Devil emperor and the Holy venerate learned of her existence. However, knowing that she is the wife of my master, those two guys wouldn't dare come after her unless they upset the old master and the ole Miss, so till then, they didn't do anything and even removed the spies they left to keep an eye on the Madam.

When the Madam died, leaving the young Miss alone, these two monsters put their eyes on the young Miss. However, thanks to a spell, the Madam devised for that situation; the Miss was never found.

But for them to send someone after the Miss now, it seems that they were able to slip some spies into our ranks, gain the trust of the old masters, and the information of where my mission is. Otherwise, I cannot think of any other way Raka would have found us." After telling a very long story, the short-statured Delvin took deep breaths to regain some of the lost air.

Xue Mo suddenly felt annoyed, and a vein was throbbing on his head, which wasn't unnoticed by Lu Yao, who was standing by watching amusedly.

Lu Yao chuckled before looking at Delvin and saying what Delvin had forgotten to mention while immersing himself in telling his story.

"You do know that you explained everything, but what the main point is, right?" Lu Yao said while pointing to the black and white energy orb that Xue Mo had already taken from Raka.

Delvin suddenly got embarrassed before coughing and saying,

"Young Miss, I was getting to that. I needed some air that's all." Delvin said, trying to cover up his blunder, but his excuse was useless.

If someone with Delvin's stats and level couldn't continue talking to take in some oxygen, what good is he? Delvin also knew that his excuse was stupid, so he remained in the hopes of changing the subject.

"That orb over there is a condensed orb of energy fueled by the Devil emperor and the Holy venerate themselves. We can tell that because of the amount of Mana that it would take to condense, this is enough to easily wipe out the entire Ash Expanse. Only someone with the Holy venerates, and the Devil emperor's powers and magic power would condense this thing.

Also, the black and colored energies that seem to be clashing while harmonizing together can only be done by someone with a high enough bloodline of different races like the young Miss or the late Madam. Other than them, if someone with the necessary bloodline has enough control, they could theoretically make this energy orb.

The only ones who fit the requirements are the Holy venerate and the devil emperor, as these two have the important bloodlines and have complete mastery of the Holy and Darkness properties, making them possess the ability to fuse them this way." Delvin finished everything correctly this time, making him sigh in relief for not embarrassing himself inwardly.

Xue Mo didn't take long to analyze the information that Delvin provided and, Lu Yao, who also heard what Delvin said, deduced some important things that could be of value.

She could hopefully be able to enhance her affinities if not take them to a higher level if she completely absorbed this orb, and Xue Mo, who had the same idea, didn't even think before nearing Lu Yao and giving the sphere to her.

Neither Xue Mo nor Lu Yao cared about the part of her mother's family going after her, that they wouldn't mind destroying a planet to remove evidence.

Raka possibly didn't know that his mission wasn't to kill or take Lu Yao, but it was also to destroy the Ash Expanse leaving no trail to be followed back to the masterminds. Raka could also have been in the know, and he had another way to go the Ash Expanse before its imminent destruction via the black-white orb.

Lu Yao held the orb with her paws that are now big enough to keep it after she started body cultivation. Before Lu Yao could begin inspecting it, a sizzling sound caught her attention, making her turn her head to see Raka's insides showing as his skin and bones melted and mangled together while showing his organs melting too.

Xue Mo saw that Lu Yao's attention wasn't on the orb in her hand but at Raka, who was behind, making him turn back to see the same situation Lu Yao was seeing.

"Acidic Scorpion blood. It seems you have gotten yourself the Acidic Scorpion's bloodline, huh?" Lu Yao questioned Xue Mo while reluctantly diverting her attention from the fascinating scene to look at Xue Mo, who had a smiling expression in his eyes, confirming her suspicion.

"Yes, that's what I unlocked after we came back." Xue Mo answered Lu Yao, not worrying that Delvin would hear what he said.
