.....
Alusec filled both containers with his blood and put them back in his personal space. He placed his index and middle finger together and rubbed it on his cut.
The cut immediately closed up and his skin became fresh like earlier.
"Now I can spar with it.... but first I have to head to the Baki clan. I'll train those kids for a while and bring them to watch the fight... Everyone thinks that's a mountain but they have no idea that it's beyond their petty imagination," Alusec remembered the strong presence he felt coming from the tallest mountain on the Island. The mountain happened to be situated close to Muremeu city.
"That's the most powerful existence that I've sensed on this island.... that creature sensed me too but didn't even respond to me taunting it mentally," Alusec held his chin in contemplation and smirked, "Hehehe, challenge accepted, I'll beat you to submission,"
Alusec liked challenges a lot. Since he was young he liked adventuring, especially to places where his master termed dangerous.
(Author's note: that's a story for another day. We have to focus on the plot for now.)
The night passed eventually with Alusec in a deep state of concentration. He spent every time he had trying to recover his strength and plan the next line of action. His rage and desire for revenge fueled him but what would become of him after successfully getting his revenge?
----
The next morning Alusec, Ruby, and Rin were ready to travel to baki city.
Baki city was twenty thousand miles west of Muremeu city. Normally influential people would use the zimo carriage while cultivators would fly over. People without any source would pay for public transport carts, and they would have to travel for a month before getting there. It would take a planetary being two weeks to fly there while a supreme being could get there in several hours.
The trio floated above the house as they stared at the east.
"Wait, Master, Rin won't be able to handle the fierce winds when traveling with us, will you open a spatial point?" Ruby asked remembering that Rin was still too weak. If they held onto her when flying, their speed was enough to rip her arms from its sockets.
Alusec was fast enough to fly there in thirty minutes when he was weakened than he was now.
"Don't worry I'll use spatial transference," Alusec had already thought of that. He didn't like using teleportation based abilities because he felt it was boring and liked the feeling of the wind on his face when he flew.
"Spatial transferrence!" Alusec said as his pupils glowed light blue.
Zwwwiiinnnn!
A blue circle appeared above their heads, covering them like an umbrella.
Ptuuooomm!
Rin only saw a blinding light envelop them and blinked subconsciously. When she opened her eyes she found herself in an unfamiliar environment.
They appeared in the skies above the patriarch quarters in the Baki clan.
Alusec looked around and said, "Oh my bad, by mistake I destroyed the artifact they installed to prevent using spatial travel to enter the clan,"
Rin had a look of confusion on her face while Ruby smiled and said, "I'm sure they'll forgive you even if they don't want to, Mas..." before she completed her sentence a loud voice was heard.
"WHO DARES BARGE INTO THE CLAN!"
Two men on green and white robes could be seen flying towards them from the ground area.
The men arrived in front of Alusec, floating a few meters away from Alusec in mid air.
"It's you!" The man on the left spoke with a hissing tone as he stared daggers at Alusec. The man was a blond-haired middle-aged man with a round face.
Alusec could sense the animosity coming from the man when he spoke.
"Who is he? Elder Feng," The other man on the right with brown short hair and square-shaped face asked.
"Elder Mori, that's Alusec," The blond middle-aged man pointed at Alusec while speaking to the other man on the left who nodded and stared at Alusec, scrutinizing him.
"This is the so-called Alusec that sent my son and the others to the Medical court and inflicted injuries that they would not recover from till after six months," Elder Feng stated with a voice filled with intense hate.
"You're lucky I was lenient and decided to let them off with that light punishment," Alusec said with aloofness making Elder Feng glare daggers at him. He was about to retort when he heard a soft voice speak....
"Oh.... master you've been having fun without my Knowledge?" Ruby asked with amusement.
It was at this moment that the elders noticed the two beautiful females behind Alusec. They were mesmerized by the beauty of both females especially Ruby.
'So this bastard has another treasure apart from the one we intend to take,' Elder Feng mused in his mind as he stared at Ruby's beautiful looks with lust. Ruby had a smile on her face as she stared at them like clowns. Her red-colored hair blowing in the wind made them feel even more mesmerized.
Alusec saw the look on their faces and immediately figured out what they were thinking. He only pitied them because they had no idea who they were messing with.
'That innocent look, those eyes, those busts. A treasure indeed. I must have her for myself,' Both elders thought at the same time.
All of a sudden the air turned oppressive as the smile on Ruby's face vanished, "Hey! you lots just profaned me in your thoughts didn't you?"
Both elders were surprised to hear a voice behind them.
They quickly turned around and found Ruby standing a few centimeters away from them with a dark look on her face.
'They have angered big sis, there's gonna be a bloodbath,' Rin understood Ruby very well and knew that these men couldn't leave in one piece.
The elders immediately distanced themselves from her moving a bit further in Alusec direction.
'How did she...?" Both elders had this thought as they tried to peek at Ruby properly and figure out her cultivation level.
Grab!
Ruby stretched out her hand and grabbed elder Mori.
Elder Mori saw the hand coming but it was like he was frozen in place he could only watch as the hand arrived before him and grab onto his neck.
"Grrrhhh!" Elder Mori felt like his neck was clenched by a beast that was many times powerful than him.
'So strong, how did she break through my protective barrier?' He held onto Ruby's hand trying to get her to release her grasp but it was futile. No matter how he tried Ruby's hand did not budge.
Elder Feng was about to come to his rescue when Alusec spoke.
"Ruby let him go!" Alusec commanded.
Ruby immediately let go of the elder with a pout and returned to Alusec's side.
Alusec knew that leaving Ruby to handle the matter would be overkill. He wanted to avoid troubles if possible so no one would come to bother him in the future.
Both elders communicated in their minds, 'Elder Mori what happened? why did you let yourself be held like a weak chicken by that weak looking girl?' Elder Feng asked in displeasure.
'Weak? don't be deceived she's no weakling, I couldn't free myself from her grasp,' Elder Mori answered with caution.
'Stop being deceitful Elder Mori, you expect me to believe that an elder at the supreme lord level could free himself from a weak-looking girl like her,' Elder Feng chided angrily believing Elder Mori was taking him for a fool.
'It's your decision to believe or not, anyways I'm no longer joining you on this suicidal mission,' Elder Mori turned around to fly away.
"Uh? why is he leaving?" Rin asked when she noticed the pale look on Elder Mori's face as he flew towards the south.
"He's scared of your big sis, she's ferocious!" Alusec said while smiling.
His voice was particularly loud so Elder Mori heard and felt like he was shot in the head. He gritted his teeth and shamefully fled as he recalled the cold look in Ruby's eyes. He knew that he wouldn't have been able to escape death if he decided to go on with the initial plan he had with Elder Feng.
