It was a barren town, which seems to be devoid of any life. Chen Shu was surrounded by the black miasma which was coming out of the weird zombie.
Whenever the black energy would try to enter inside Chen Shu, it was that golden light. Appearing from time to time, preventing the black Miasma out.
At which, the weird zombie started to realize the situation it was in. He could tell, that something was off about the kid in front of him.
Though It was already that point, where there was nothing the zombies could able to do anything. Ending his life was the only conclusion left behind for him.
[Stepping Method] Chen Shu's figure darted toward, the zombie, who was a little startled by the speed Chen Shu advanced towards it.
The Spiritual wisdom which has started to develop inside it alerted him, about the incoming sword, while using the miasma he created a clone to retreat back to find the clone slashed by a beam of light.
'Clang.' it was at that moment the sound of the sword unsheath reverberate the surrounding. The coldness of the attack seeped inside the poor thing, where Chen Shu's attack had already scared him.
As he, recall the word's he had used just a few seconds ago, his guts started to churn with regret. Knowing that the words spoken by him will never come back.
He was ready to go all out and kill his opponent or die by his blade.
"Good, it seems you are ready to go all out. After all, I am in a rush, while killing you would waste my time. If you were to run away from my attacks."
Chen smiled, as he held the sword, which was back inside his sheath. He was ready to strike the moment, the weird zombie would come to strike him.
Only it was at that moment, the underworld guard revolved every bit of nether death energy. Using his body, to burst out with a tremendous amount of strength and agility.
Under the condition, even if he were to kill his opponent, all of his Meridian will be destroyed in the process.
[Berserk Skill: Blood Mist Explosion Art] Chen smiled looking at the familiar skill, where the zombie reveals an ecstatic and sadistic smile, thinking he would be able to kill his opponent along with him.
[Sword Unsheath: First Secret stanza, Moonlight Dip.]
It was the first secret technique behind the sword unsheath art, Chen Shu was able to understand when he had practiced [Admant Strike: Lethal Below]. Since it was a martial art originally created for vampires.
The usage of the body flexibility was much deeper. Using that Chen Shu used all the tendons present inside his body to stretch like a bow.
After which, using the energy, which has been stored inside the tendons present inside the body. The sword unsheathing will release a tremendous burst of attack speed.
Not to say the usage of ice-type mana. The attack will carry the tremendous freezing cold wave.
Making the attack deadlier than it can be, especially for the low-rank Nether Guard right in front of Chen Shu.
[Sword Unsheath: First Secret stanza, Moonlight Dip.]
A blinding sword arc was drawn, which release the radiance of the blue hay and was slashing apart the body of the zombie.
Who looked dumbfounded by the speed of the sword. As its frozen body, crumbled down dead. Only then, Ren smile bitterly. Knowing the fact, that attack was something, he could never react against.
The helpless feeling the poor zombie could have felt, at that moment was something, nothing that hard for him to imagine.
He could simply put himself in that place, making the heart inside him shun cold with sheer pressure.
"Haha!" Ren burst out laughing at the thought, of how safe they were feeling, since standing behind that guy guard. Compared to the feeling, they will feel standing in front of the same guy, the time if they were his enemy.
The sheer comparison was making him feel proud of the decision, he made on that day to follow this guy back.
Making the image of Chen Shu's becoming taller and taller inside their imagination.
Lalay finally blushed with redness covering her face, as she looked at the silhouette of the guy, who suddenly appeared in her life.
She knew the possibility of her falling in love with him.
Has changed to certainty. She could never deny this feeling of her, that she has fallen for this guy, who made her feel safe and warm in this apocalyptic world.
Chen Shu turned toward the bus, his face carrying the same smile. But this time, it carries the trace of satisfaction. The satisfaction, he had found after releasing that sword skill, was something he had been training since using sword unsheath.
He finally was able to use the attack of one of the 3 secret skills of this basic sword unsheathing.
"Guys, shall we search the town now, though, I was going somewhere to save a soul. Would you guys, like to see a spirit." Chen Shu spoke at Ren and others.
When all of them turned stunned, hearing the word of Chen Shu, as they all thought 'Is spirit and ghost are for real.'
But they still followed Chen Shu, who extended his hand and dragged Mai, after all, he was very keen to let Mai experience the life deep secret of 9 realm transmission. Where Human path, is one of the small roads to a great way.
That way, it will be easier for her to transform during the tribulation of the higher realm.
Lalay followed behind the duo, as she secretly was looking at hands, Chen Shu has held of Mai and was dragging her with him. For Ralph, it was very easy to see the relationship between Chen and Mai.
To which he bitterly smiles for his sister's unrequited love. Colt was smiling faintly, as he turned to chat with Ren. As they all rushed along with Chen Shu, to see the so-called spirit and ghost he was about to save.
"Everyone has to remember this fact that, the spirit we are about to see at this moment is a blood spectrum. Normally, in normal conditions, they do not have any kind of humans or animals. where the reason they end up being like that." Chen Shu stopped for a second.
As he continued to explain. "Lies within the love for a living creature, he or she was not able to leave behind alone in this world."
Chen Shu spoke about the process, of why a red spectrum usually are born in this human realm. As for the reason, the would purity needed to form a noble lineage of Netherworld, he does not want it to falls into the hand of Neither world Guards.
Normally for a soul spectrum to take form on the human realm is a big matter, after all, those who contract with the soul spectrum acquired a huge talent for perceiving the change in both worlds.
Not only that, normally a clear soul is like a daughter or son of heaven.
The cultivation speed of those kinds of humans is really fast and high, which even his previous self would Envy off.
But after heavenly tribulation, he was able to acquire the same talent.
That was the reason why he was also looking forward, to making a mutual contract with the blood spectrum in this town. It was in this particular manner, he would be able to acquire that Talent, without going through that tribulation.
"So Chen, what is that so-called blood spectrum you spoke off," Lalay asked as she rushed by Chen Shu's side, and looked at him with a curious smile on her face.
Chen Shu explained further detail, as they all walked toward a certain house at the corner of the town.
[Li...Gong... Shop]
A small shop, with the dustbin, stood at the corner of the entrance filled with blood and bandages of several years old.
Even the name of the shop was torn apart by the scratches of wild crows, hardly recognizable by Ralph, who was a veteran teacher of a university. At Chen Shu's gaze, he tried his best to read it out in words with some meaning.
After all, the remaining words were those with no meaning whatsoever.
"Hmm!" Chen Shu nodded, as he entered the shop and looked around the messy place.
The smell of blood was very strong, as Chen Shu looked at the blood pool at the center of the shop. While thin yet strong bonds were rising from the blood pool.
Whereat the top of the shop, a figure of a girl in her twenties.
She was totally covered with dress made up of blood blanket, which were covering her eccentric body tightly. Revealing her dazzling figure, though it was not for the pale face. She would be comparable to Mai in her prime.
With a wave of his hand. Dazzling golden runes covered the blood pool, which severed the blood bond and made her fall. Where Mai helped him catching her, to which she found her passing through her grasp. Only when Chen Shu held her with golden light covering his whole body, that he was able to pull her up from rune over the blood pond.
'Hmm!'
The lady instantly opened her eyes, as she looked at Chen Shu, who was holding her from falling into that blood pool again. Though, she wanted to thank Chen Shu for that. For some reason she was unable to speak a word, within his embrace. "It's alright! Don't try to speak at the moment, given your spectrum body still is in spirit phase. Talking with mortal words, will consume too much of the energy. Later I'll pass you spiritual technique, which can help you talk with other in telepathy."
Kiria nodded, as she looked at the others.
Lalay was smiling, as she also tried to touch Kiria, but it was same as Mai, since her finger passed through Kiria body. For boy's though they were curious, it was hard for them to touch a lady body like that. So they refrain their's actions, while nodded at Kiria.
"She will be developing her body soon, so don't worry, she will just look like a human to other sooner or later. Just that, she will not be able to give birth to a child like normal human. It can be deduce as an punishment for Kiria from heaven, for betraying his given path."
Chen Shu spoke, as he looked at the girls action and smiled. Where he looked at Kiria and asked in a silent voice. "You were hallucunated by Netherguard, to turn your soul into a Blood Spectrum. He made you hallucunated and signed off a contract, to make you slave of the nether world. Though, by sealing this blood pond, I have already destroyed your contract. But your spirit has become half netherworld denizine."
"If you want to escape that fate of becoming netherworld entity. I hope for you to make a contract with me and live a life of mortal along with me. Or, I can make your soul return to the heaven by exorcising you."
