After meeting with Ch'ang O. Ash decided to deliver some 100 thousands kg magic radish and 1,500 lighting rabbit and 300 fire fish. Ch'ang O also paid 50,000 gold coins to Ash. Ash also promised Ch'ang O that he would deliver the corns in 5 to 6 days. After that he would regularly send half million kg bamboo rice.
" Mister Sasuke, thank you very much. I know that the vegetables might not be as good as ours but still please join us for lunch." Ash nodded and followed Ch'ang to dining table.
Ash and Ch'ang sat opposite to each other, a long table. There was fire fish, roasted earth rabbit, magic vegetables. Ash felt the taste of the food was far inferior to what he usually eats. Maybe because everything Ash eats is grown in the space. But Ash ate everything out of politeness.
" Mister Sasuke, do you have any plans of introducing new vegetables in the market? Ch'ang O already had tasted some vegetables grown in the space. The quality and tasty this vegetables was very high.
" I might. After this pest crisis." The way Ash was eating was slow and steady. His every movement looked very elegant.
" Does Miss Ch'ang O have close relationship with Ivan?" Ash question caught Ch'ang O by surprise. She suddenly remembered about Zero of the Akatsuki and Ash. Both looked very similar.
" I do. My father had helped Ivan with some formations. I am also known his daughter. Our relationship with Ivan can be considered OK level. Not that close but not that far either." Ash understood. Both parties was using each other for their own interest.
" Mister Sasuke, I want to ask why do you live near Casa city? I mean you have your territory righ. Forgive me if this question have hurt your feelings." Ch'ang I asked out of curiosity.
" I am looking for adventure. That's why I am staying outside my territory. I am a 9th rank expert who have the ambition to travel the whole continent."
Ch'ang O eyes sparkled. She also wanted to travel but her work never gave her the opportunity to do so." That means mister Sasuke must have a finance already, right." Ch'ang O felt embarrassed after asking this question. Her question sounded like she was very interested in Ash.
"Hahahaha! No. I don't. Actually as soon as my identity of black mage is revealed, all the girls are just too terrified to came near me. Of course miss Ch'ang O is a exception. This is reason why I chose to sell my products to you." Half of what Ash said was a lie. But a blush appeared on Ch'ang O's face. Her heart beat quickened.
While having lunch, Ch'ang asked Ash many questions. Both of their relationship also have gotten better than before. At least they could be considered friends.
After eating lunch, Ash suddenly saw something through his shadows. The expression on Ash's face changed. Ch'ang O also noted the change. Ash immediately stood up.
" Miss, I have a emergency in my territory. Thanks for everything."
Before Ch'ang O could reply, Ash already had disappeared into thin air. He just vanished. Ch'ang O then realized that Zero of the Akatsuki was none other than Ash. She was completely shocked.
After sometime Ch'ang O recovery from her shock. A beautiful smile appeared on her face. " I could forever talk with Mister Sasuke. I just didn't realize how long I was talking with mister Sasuke."
" I will your identity a little secret of mine." A bush appeared on her face.
...
Ash immediately teleported to Iron mountain. Eva had sensed a powerful being was coming towards them. So Eva informed the shadow and Ash heard everything through them.
After teleporting to the edge of Iron mountain, Ash immediately used his Tenseigan. Approximately 9 km away A powerful expert in 9th level was approaching the Iron mountain. Ash immediately knew who he was based on his appearance.
Black was a 9th level warrior. He was younger than Sword Orgin. Black had black hair, muscular body, short beard, curved long hair reached his neck.
Black was the other 9th rank warrior of Purcell clan. The appearance of Black had raised many questions in Ash's mind. But Ash inner thoughts was telling him that he needs to Silence Black today otherwise his Anderson clan would be in big trouble.
Currently even though Ash has five 9th rank experts, Ash still does not want to the existence of Anderson clan in blackwaste. If this news get you, the Purple Star empire king won't let Anderson clan grow in blackwaste. He will try every method to destroy Anderson clan.
5th inner gate open.....
Ash could see with his Tenseigan that Black was coming towards Iron mountain at super speed. His speed was much faster than Sword Orgin. Ash immediately activated his lighting Chakra mood. A blue lighting cloak wrapped around Ash and it merged with his green aura.
Black also seemed to be have sense Ash 9th rank presence. His slowed down his speed. Black was shocked to find greenery in blackwaste. Not only that the number of people in Blackwaste also had increased. The area around Iron Mountain completely had changed.
"I can't let Anderson clan live any longer. At this rate they will become a great threat for my Purcell clan." Black then sensed a familiar aura. Oh! itseems I can take revenge for Sword Orgin elder death as well. Hahahaha!" Black arrogantly laughed he saw Ash standing and blocking his way.
" Isn't it Young master Ash Anderson. You are still alive and not only that you have become so strong in such small time." The arrogant look on Black's face changed into bloodlust" I don't care how you have managed to obtain such strength but for the future of Purcell clan I must kill you and your family today."
Ash eyes also become cold and murderous when Black thearthened to slaughter Anderson clan. "Don't worry, after killing you I won't destroy the Purcell clan yet." A cold smile appeared on Ash's face.
Ash knew Ch'ang O would need Ivan's help to become the biggest merchant in Purcell territory. Since Ch'ang O is providing Ivan's clan with food during this crisis he will be grateful to Ch'ang O and help her to become the most powerful and largest Merchant in Purcell clan territory.
"Ruler's Authority!"
Black didn't feel good when he saw Ash's confident smile. Suddenly something surrounded his body and held his together. He felt a strong force surround his body and his body was being pulled towards Ash. This is same move Ash used against Sword Orgin.
After pulling Black for a certain distance, Ash felt that Black was able to withstand the rulers authority. So he used his Tenseigan powers.
"Almighty pull!"
Black felt that force pulling him had increased by 3 times. Ash had combined his rulers authority with Almighty pull. This time Black wasn't able to resist.
Rasengan!
A bull rotating ball formed in Ash's left hand and hit the incoming Black's chest. But to Ash's surprise nothing happened to Black. Ash was shocked. A cold smile appeared on Black's face he right fist gathered large amount of battle Qi and was about to punch Ash. To distance between Ash and Black was too close. Before Black's fist could hit Ash he already had teleported to another place.
" So this is his teleportation ability. It seems this fight is going to be a big one." Black though. Immediately Ash again teleported himself in front Black and punched Black with his full strength.
Boom!
Black was flown away from the punch impact. But to Ash's shock, Black was completely fine. He was just pushed back from the impact. Ash full power punch couldn't injury Black. This again shocked Ash. "The power level between 9th rank experts is huge. Sword Orgin is nothing in front of Black."
Sword Orgin wasn't even able to take half of Ash's strength. But Black took the full power strength punch from Ash and the punch did not had any affect on him. " This is going to be trouble." Ash sighed as he looked at Black.
Ash full strength was combination of his immense strength for being the Shadow Monarch, by opening the 5th inner gate and Lightning Release Chakra Mode also increased Ash's strength. But Black still remained uninjured, he did not feel any pain.
Immense strength is the natural strength of shadow Monarch. Immense strength and Chakra comes from the black heart. Like Ash's Chakra, his strength is also increasing day by day. Because Ash body won't able to contain the shadow Monarch full power and strength, the process was slowed down to by the system. It's really hard to tell the Shadow Monarch power level according to this world standards.
" Ah! It hurts." Black lazily said. Black was clearly mocking Ash. But Ash didn't get angry at all instead he was thinking of another way to injury him.
