Chereads / A Shadow's Reincarnation / Chapter 12 - Sneak Attack

Chapter 12 - Sneak Attack

'Yeeeeet!! I've jumped this high without exerting any strength nor used any Body Enhancement Magic?? Incredible!! Oh how I have missed this feeling of repeated breakthroughs!!' Blake was downright amazed by just how much 3 minor realms have increased his original strength by.

'Now...What would happen if I used Body Enhancement magic !?!?'

In that instant, Blake's body unleashed some insane magical energy fluctuations.

'Ah yes! I can feel it! The magical energy is coursing through my veins! It feels like I can take on a battleship with this strength!! Now, where should I...Fuck?!?'

"BOOM!"

Blake was suddenly cut off as he was struck by a bolt of lightning on a cloudless sunny day. That was unexpected. Although he was struck, he wasn't struck down. More or less, his pajamas were burned and his body was charred black, but he wasn't hurt in any way.

'Alright, who da fuck unleashed that bolt of lightning on me?!?!' Upon scanning his surroundings with his spiritual sense, he found nothing out of the ordinary. 'Was that Heavenly Lightning?? No, it seems unlikely that I would be struck by Heavenly Lightning because of a minor breakthrough. Then, what was that– !!!!!!'

At this moment, Blake's face suddenly became cold. A thousand kilometers away, an entity was spotted. Then just as quick as it appeared, it disappeared again. Blake was a reincarnated master who was at the peak of his world at that time so his perception skills and Spiritual Sense would have been classified as top notch, but when the unknown entity appeared and disappeared, Blake could not neither sense its presence nor track it. Because of this, Blake's expression grew solemn and decided it was best to increase his vigilance.

An unknown entity appearing and disappearing under Blake's perception would definitely be classified as a dangerous opponent for Blake, and possibly everyone in this realm.

But after that sneak attack, the entity did not try anymore.

What in the blue blazes was that? It looked humanoid but I can't say it was human since it was covering its face.

Damn it! And here I thought I was the strongest being of this realm, guess I was too naïve. Screw it...If that thing does not want to show up again, there's nothing I can do.....Blake sighed while thinking that he had to get stronger before he could display his arrogance again.

Blake descended and immediately got ready for school.

In a cave somewhere near Tokyo

"Boss! Boss! I have something urgent to report!" A black cloaked being shouted desperately. Bright lights could be seen illuminating this unknown being as he sped along the twisted corridors before arriving in a huge dome shaped underground base.

A rancid and pungent smell wafted inside the dome, dismembered bodies of human and beast could be seen hanging from the dome's ceiling, some of which still had blood dripping down from these corpses. In the middle of the dome, a middle-aged man can be seen sitting on a throne of bones, fiddling with a human skull unexcitingly. When the man heard his subordinate's panic filled shout just now, the man stopped his fiddling to look up at the panic stricken subordinate of his rush in his throne room.

"What is it now, Bhorg? Took fancy upon another woman and want her to become your plaything again? Or did you find someone's secret stash of adult magazines in the forest? I mean seriously though, have you not dug out enough stashes? Or are you really going to shatter every young man's dream??" The man asked his subordinate indifferently, meaning that he was quite sick and tired of his subordinate's shitty shenanigans.

"No boss, it's different this time! I promise!" the subordinate hurriedly replied.

"Alright then, give me your report. But do remember this, if your report turns out to be another pile of horse shit, I swear I'll burn your soul in the core of this planet for 1000 years! You got that ?!" The middle aged man warned solemnly.

"Ah! Of course boss! I swear that this report is worth boss's attention! So it's like this..."

10 minutes later...

"Hm...Interesting. Who knew this King would be able to meet another martial artist in this lower tier outer realm! You did a great job, Bhorg! Not immediately engaging the unknown and instead taking your time to probe the stranger, that's so unlike you, Bhorg !" The middle age man laughed.

"I...don't even know whether I should laugh or cry now, boss." the cloaked man sighed in response to his boss's compliment. "So, what should we do now Boss?"

"What do we do? We will greet him of course! It'd be rude not to say hi to a fellow martial artist since he'll probably be the only acquaintance we'll have from now on..."

"The only one? Uhm, Boss...Are you forgetting some people? Aren't there martial artists all around the globe??"

"They are not even worth mentioning, Bhorg. Since the Planetary Laws of Heaven & Earth barely exist here, the martial artists here cannot comprehend anything higher than Nascent Soul realm and therefore are trash in my eyes. Whereas the young boy you reported just now could not only survive your [Silent Lightning] but also come out unscathed. You can definitely tell that that young boy has world-defying talent! I bet that kid already met the martial artists of this world, beating them black & blue! " the middle aged man mused.

"Well, this is what happens when you don't have anyone to talk to after 100 years..." Bhorg quietly added.

"What are you still doing here, Bhorg? Get your ass moving! We, Feather Beast Mountain, shall go and meet up with that new young talent!" the middle aged man ordered.

"Yes boss!"

Blake's house

"Hmm? That's odd. I thought I sensed the presence of 2 people coming towards here?? Nah, must be my imagination," Horu thought otherwise.
