(Lora POV)
The sight of a youth and beast standing beside each other, both standing there doing nothing but stare at each other, some occasionalmocking and displease expression will be displayed on the beast face and a calm aura also lance remain expressionless, she became confused and her curiosity increased,
'what is you secret' she mutter suppressing her voice
in that moment the beast became serious, lifting its head to sniff the air in her direction before tuning Lance again with same seriousness, she only saw lance shake his head and the beast disappeared leaving only an after image. her instinct kick in alerting of danger, before she could do anything her vision went dark, all she felt was a max load of electricity ran through her.
(present)
blood appear where the person was hiding and zap her with a load of lightning that is capable of knocking her out but not kill her.
(here is your little spy, I will hand it to her that she is good at her concealing technique though, what do you want me to do with her, should I finish get off?)
"no just drop over there till she wakes up, lets get the core and keep the body, it might come handy"
(*×*)
(what happened to me eating it?)
"you don't need it anymore, my body provides you with energy to keep up and you can't level up even if you eat it, you will just cause more problem than good"
(I hate you kid, you just rid me of the joy of feasting on beast)
"you can have those you rip of the beast while having fun, I don't want to liter my storage stone with scrape"
(I got no word for you and that favour I owe, its gone.)
A few minute later, their little spite seems to be waking up from her sudden nap
"why did you come back when I told you to leave, is there a reason why I shouldn't just kill you here and pretend I didn't see you?"
walking up, Dio voice was the first thing she heard, a bit syarted but did her best to hid it she sat up before giving an answer
"am sorry, I only came back to see if there is anyway I could help, I don't have any other intention I promise"
"you could have gotten yourself killed you know and now that you've known about a secret I want to hid, I just can't let you go scout free"
seeing the irritation in Dio voice and blood glaring at her she was lost for word, after thinking for a while she muster some strength and replied Dio
"lance I know I stumble upon a secret of yours you intend to keep hidden but I promise never to tell and keep it with me till my grave"
"such a big word don't you think, what made you feel like I will believed you?"
"fine I will take an oath if that is what will make you believed what I said."
(kid you can let go of the oath thing, you can trust her word, she is saying the truth that she won't tell)
starring at her for a while he called back blood, who turned into a bloody mist and returned to his body instantly
"I don't trust you but I won't force an oath on you but I will kill you the moment you broke out deal, I won't mind who is behind you or who want to stop me then, I will go against even the heaven to make sure you go through the most horrifying death you can ever think of"
This declaration alone cause chill to run through her spine why she shivery nodded to confirm to Dio that she won't
"excellent choice you've made, now you have to answer some of my questions"
"what do you want to know?"
"what was jenny trying to do back then before she exhausted herself and why did Daniel act that way as if it was caused by me when she spat out blood?"
"-"
"hmmm, jenny is unique in a way, she possess an ability that has nothing to do with any element, it called blessed Mark. only few person have that, it very rare, rare that someone with dual elements or elemental physique, its believed as a blessing from a god. jenny is one of such persons, she has the blessing mark of the goddess of destiny."
"-"
"OK so what was she trying to do?"
"she wanted to use her blessing to check your destiny part if you are a someone we can trust, I guess you saw how that turned out, she exhausted herself and received received a drawback. that was why Daniel was starring at you that way."
"goddess of destiny blessing" interesting
"you may not know this but for jenny to get a drawback only means one thing"
"what Is that?"
"she try checking something she shouldn't or saw something above her reach"
"It seems there is someone else I have to pay a visit"
"please don't, jenny is not the kind who goes around spilling secrets, if she was she couldn't have possible get that blessing"
"still don't change a thing, my second question is about the capital power level"
"the capital have three powerhouse, the royals which also is running the royal academy, skyfire sect and the Greenleaf sect which is my sect, other medium and small size sect, guild and organization all have affiliation with one of this power house. the royals are the strongest of all three power house and run the empire, skyfire and Greenleaf share same amount of strength or that is what is believe to be the case, the power house are not really in good terms but they have to keep up with each other for balance, the two force can rival the royal but after the battle is won. the medium and smaller sect can rival them, and they can not allow the royal to pick them one at a time either, it simply delaying the inevitable, once the royal is done with one the other follows, so they are to watch each other back to keep power balance"
"I see, anything else?"
"every of this power house is constantly searching for genus talent to keep growing their forces"
"You those that make up as pawn chess piece in the game of some powerful expert"
"-"
"I never really thought of it that way, but do we have a choice, they provide us with resources and techniques, in return we give our loyalty"
"about techniques, do you have any with you here? I haven't practice any techniques ever since I start cultivating"
"you are joking right?"
'-"
"you are serious, how come you haven't practice and techniques, you are a rank 3 meridian refinement stage cultivator, how did you reach this level then?"
"for that I saw a crazy cultivator in a tavern in my city, he help me with my awaken and taught how to sense and draw elements to cultivate when I was 12"
(*×*)
"I don't have any techniques with me, we are not allowed to take them out of the library of the sect and anyone catch teaching a techniques he/she learnt to someone else, they will be punish or expelled with cultivation base crippled"
"hmmm, they set up a monopoly rules to be able to control everyone, anyways when I get there things might change Dio mutter to himself" let get back to the other.
they both head towards the place the other should be camping waiting for them.
