Few minutes have passed since Kaito returned to the meditation but it's not at all quiet, as the two soul beasts are having quite a furious fight in the river, but after several attacks the fight has almost come to its end with the Devil Serpent as the winner, its higher cultivation gave it edge over the fish.
After finishing the life of that fish, the devil serpent didn't sit still as it directly swam out of the water, towards Kaito.
For the serpent the fish meat was nowhere as good as a human, although it already can have quite a meal prepared but the serpent still chooses to kill Kaito first before it might start eating.
With the rapid speed it soon reached the shore and headed towards Kaito, at this moment Kaito who had his eyes closed all this while, finally opened them, and you can easily notice a deep golden light in the center of his blue pupils.
The light suddenly came out of his eyes, turning into two long golden needles that reached the head of the serpent in the blink of an eye.
As soon as the serpent saw Kaito opening his eyes, the serpent felt the fear coming from the depth of its soul, it was like a soldier facing the angry king.
The fear stopped it from moving and the next moment those golden needles hit its head causing the serpent to scream in pain as its whole body trembled.
Kaito stood up from his place and ran towards the serpent with a long dagger in his right hand, this dagger was given to him by his grandfather the sect leader.
The Kame family and the Dragon Lord sect are famous for their blacksmiths and forging, the sect leader thanose himself is a high level blacksmith so are all the heirs, and Kaito who despite having a weak martial soul shows an incredible talent in forging was rewarded by this dagger.
The blue crystal appeared in Kaito's left palm as the first soul skill shows its effect boosting the strength and the speed of Kaito who soon got near the trembling serpent and pierced its head with the dagger.
The reason why the serpent was trembling was because of Kaito's special attack 'Spiritual Shock' and the effect was so great because he was preparing for this attack while the serpent was going through the fight with the fish and already got tired.
Another reason was also because it was a soul beast who was attacked by the move, Kaito himself was a top class dragon in his previous life and also has a high class dragon bloodline in this life which suppressed the bloodline of the devil serpent.
Also his third eye 'the eye of destiny' gives him a special position among the soul beats according to which, up to the certain cultivation level the enemy soul beast will face bloodline suppression against him.
Of course the higher the cultivation and the bloodline level of that soul beast is the less the effect will be.
Kaito waited for the serpent's death. After a few minutes the serpent stopped trembling as a dark yellow soul ring appeared over its body, faint purple radiance can be seen in the yellow color which means it was very close to a thousand years cultivation.
Kaito did a pulling motion with his right hand and the soul ring moved towards him and stopped above the hand.
Kaito went near the river and again did the same motion with his left hand and another yellow soul ring came out from the river.
It was the soul ring of the devil fish, unlike the devil serpent's soul ring it was pure yellow.
Then Kaito released his martial soul as a blue crystal appeared in front of him and another yellow soul ring around him. Kaito moved with all these towards the waterfall.
When he jumped from the waterfall earlier he detected an empty space behind it.
It was a cave. It was already very late as the sun had almost sat so instead of going anywhere else Kaito went inside the cave and after going a little further he stopped and sat crossed legged with the two soul rings over his hands.
'𝘛𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘭𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘺, 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯. J𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 I 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘵'. Kaito takes a deep breath as he thinks about it.
With a determination in his eyes Kaito uses his 1st soul skill as the blue crystal releases brilliant light, Kaito brings the two soul rings in his hands to the crystal.
First the serpent's soul ring is enlarged and encircled around his body including the crystal then the fish's soul ring follows suit and does the same.
Kaito's own first soul ring moves between the two and starts shining brightly as it pulls the two soul rings towards itself. The blue crystal also moved nearer until it was touching his chest.
Being pulled towards the middle the two soul rings make contact with the 1st soul ring as brilliant light is released.
"Argh!" Kaito groan in pain as veins around his body become visible. Currently he is trying something that no human had ever done, it is a technique discovered by himself and it's his first try.
The technique is called 'Overload' a forced second awakening of a martial soul by absorbing the power that exceeds the limits of the body and the martial soul.
This required high level spiritual power that exceeds even the level of exceeded power he is absorbing, which means only someone like Kaito can do it.
"Aargh!" His groaning becomes louder as the pain continues to increase as blood leaked from his nose, his blue eyes have turned red from the pain.
At this movement in Kaito's Spiritual Sea the remaining 7 seals start shining as a small crack appeared in the 3rd seal, although not completely open but a ray of spiritual power was released from it increasing the amount of Kaito's spiritual power.
Next moment golden patterns appeared on Kaito's forehead in the shape of a vertical eye, a golden crack appeared in the middle of the pattern, the crack split opened to reveal a multicolored eye, "The eye of Destiny".
To be continued....
