Chapter 8 - [Chapter 7] A nice day before the event.

Since my mother is not home. Maybe i could use the backyard for some practice.

.

I went to the backyard and started to medidate first. I tried to focus my aura. Focusing it in one place.

I kept focusing my aura. Now to think about it, the area I'm in now has some wild aura spread.

I collect all the wild aura and join it in towards the focused aura. It's hard to contain the focused aura...

.

I then burst all my aura towards the tree. The aura then made a golf ball sized hole on the tree... I can use the aura as bullets too...

.

.

Next is the black smoke. I focused my aura again to summon the smoke. 

I successfully summoned the smoke. The smoke coated my body. I then started to focus control towards the smoke.

I gathered all black smoke in my hand creating a ball of smoke. 

.

I throw it at the ground creating a black smoke screen all around the yard. As the smoke covers the yard. I can feel all living things moving.

Birds at the branches. A stray cat in the yard.

And a rat hiding.

I then tried to decrease the opacity of the smoke... it turned into black mist...

.

Now that i think about it. If i can make the aura as a bullet. Can i coat my body with aura?

.

I focus my aura in one place inside my body... as I focus my aura. I adjusted all the focused aura to move towards my hands.

I then punch the other tree with a coated aura. At first it did nothing but... It took a delay to shatter the tree in half.

The tree falls towards my yard. Making a mess.

Gladly the tree didn't reach my house because it's short...

.

Now can i make it armor. I re adjusted my aura towards my whole body.

I grabbed the metal rod sitting beside the hose. And smack my kneecap with the rod.

Surprisingly it didn't hurt and the rod shattered.

.

As i coat myself with aura for a while. My body ached. It looks like I can't use my aura for a long period of time.

.

I rest for a moment to recover my stamina... I need to worry about the fallen tree before my mom gets home though...

.

.

.

Hours passed, and I recovered my stamina.

Now i grabbed the metal bo staff and summoned my scythe. I then trained with it.

Swing here, swung there. I then tried to cut the fallen tree. I sliced the tree in half with ease. The scythe blade's sharpness is really crazy if it reaches perfect shape...

I cut the tree into smaller portions to be stored at the corner.

.

Afterwards i summon back my bo staff. I did regulay exercise like push ups. Sit ups and more.

.

Hours passed...

.

I've done everything i could. Now I feel a little hungry. Since I'm lazy i just ordered online... i ordered pizza...

.

My order arrived after some hours. I opened the box and took a slice of the pepperoni pizza.

.

I looked at my phone shocking to see emily's message.

[Emily: Meet me at this Location tonight at 9pm. Don't be late]

She sent the location link... it's an odd house.

.

Hours passed at 8pm. I changed my outfit into a trench coat since it's quite cold outside. I bought my bo staff. Gyeong will stay here to keep watch for robbers i guess.

.

I set off towards the location she sent me...

.

I got there pretty early than expected. It took me 30 minutes of walk. I'm not spending any money on transportation.

As expected too. She arrived early but with a taxi...

"Oh you're early?" She spoke as she pays the driver. Shes in a trench coat too. She carries her bow and a pack of arrows behind.

.

"You're very confused right now why were here right?" Emily asked. Yes I'm very very confused. Calling me here on a specific time at night.

Anyways the house is old looking haunted. "So why are we here exactly" i asked emily.

.

Emily grinned "I got an email for a job. They will pay for exorcism" Emily's respond. 

We almost died towards the high tier demon we encounter. Now she wants to risk her life...

"I need a source of income so yeah. Saying no is not an option. Beside the sharing is 50/50" Emily really need an income with her family's richness?

I made a joke deal with emily. "If you die i run" 

Emily gave a thumbs up...

.

We entered the haunted house. I cannot feel any aura. But i adjusted the bo staff into full legth. I bought a lantern in case we need light to expose the physical body.

.

Emily bought a giant flashlight... we made it inside. I lit the lantern. "How about we split up?" Emily asked.

I'm totally disagree about this plan. Not as Emily's an archer. Everything, everyone will die if they split up in the haunted place.

I shook my head in disagreement.

.

Careless emily then pushed a vase causing it to break. As it shattered the sound echoes.

.

I sensed many auras in every direction. I'm convinced that it's not a solo being.

I adjusted my bo-staff into meduim length and summoned my scythe. It's on meduim legth but it has perfect sharp blades.

Emily loaded its bow. We then carefully walk around. We entered the kitchen area. I sense an aura inside the kitchen.

I quickly lit my lantern. As i turn my back. I sense the aura got quite strong. I looked back and a black spirit jumped at me.

My newly improved reaction time saved me by using the scythe to pierce the heart.

It turned into ashes. Due to the light of the lantern. The physical body was exposed. 

.

As I looked around Emily was gone. I checked the hallway and saw a brim of light in the living room. I went there and here she is. 

She killed a black spirit with the bow and arrow she had.

Emily looked at

me and gave me a thumbs up and a grin. She's getting arrogant.

The exorcism here is quite easy...

A few more rooms were done here.

...

Or so i thought it was easy.
