Chapter 41 - Chronicle 41 ~ Celestial Authority (5)

Although the battle had been settled outside, another one was going on inside his consciousness.

Vin stood in front of a thousand meter large Phoenix, that was burning with deep violet flames around it.

Though there was difference in their size, the spiritual pressures they were emiting were about evenly the same.

Now that the Phoenix had been weakened from its battle against his master, Vin had been able to take partial control of his body, he really did have to thank his master for this.

Because that last skill he used had really weakened this Phoenix. He still almost couldn't believe that his bloodline, when controlling his body could fight three whole realms above his cultivation, that was insane and unheard-of.

Standing straight up with his hands behind his back, Vin looked deeply at the Phoenix before him, there was awe and respect in his eyes but there was also pride and rebellion.

"I know you're very prejudiced against me because of how weak I seam in wielding your power" he started "But I can assure you that it wouldn't be the case for too long"

"True I had a late start, but that doesn't mean that If I work hard, within a few years I wouldn't be able to catch up to those Supreme geniuses in the outside world."

"But that can only be possible if we work together, join me and let us journey to the peak together. Because in this world where chaos thrives... Only I will reign Supreme. So what do you say Eremiel. Partners?"

When Vin ended his speech, the Phoenix only looked at him for a while without saying anything as if it disdain to say anything.

But just as Vin was beginning to think the Phoenix would ignore him forever, it suddenly spoke a few words.

"Do not disappoint me then. Partner" and then it dove into Vin's body again, but this time it didn't attempt to take control, no this time it wanted to fuse with Vin so they could become one entity.

The moment the Phoenix did this, Vin immediately spoke a few words he didn't even know where it had came from, just that it had appeared in his head at that moment.

"Celestial Authority ~ Bloodline Assimilation"

"Booooooom!!!"

Vin's aura and spiritual pressure immediately exploded by ten times, immediately increasing his combat prowess and overall strength.

After getting used to his new powers for a while, Vin's consciousness then dove into his dantian, and he was met with a very beautiful thousand meter large violet colored lake that was condensed from runic symbols.

And on the surface of this lake, there seem to be an image of a Phoenix flying freely within and adding to its aesthetics and beauty.

This lake was his spirit sea after it had fused with the core rune, at first he had planned for them to coexist together, but it seems fate had other plans.

Now his spirit sea had actually been transformed into a core rune itself, so any skills he activated with his spiritual energy would directly be manifested in its runic form.

Vin took a while to admire it before he decided, it was time to wake up. The moment he opened his eyes, he was met with the beautiful view of glowing crystals lighting up his face.

He stood up from the bed he was laying on and realized he was in his room 'Master must have brought me here' he thought.

"You're awake, Lord Zero" a voice called out beside him in exclamation, Vin turned head and was met with deep obsidian eyes staring back at him in shock and embarrassment.

At first Vin was surprised, but he soon understood why when he tried to get off the bed, he felt something strange as his body felt lighter, and when he looked at himself he realized why.

And immediately his eyes wided him shock "Holy shit, Damn it why the hell am I naked?" he exclaimed as he snapped his fingers and a deep red robe appeared on his body.

"I. I. I. I'm so sor.. Sorry Lord Zero. I was just cleaning you up, I didn't know you would wake up so soon" Zidane stammered in fright, she was almost scared out of her wits.

"Tch🥲. It's fine, how long have I been out Zidane?" Vin asked as he wave off what just happened.

"It's been a week, my Lord" Zidane replied with her head bowed. She had already returned to her usual composure.

"A week huh, alright, where's my master?" Vin asked again. "He's guiding the Nexus Primes on their cultivation in the Prime Hall's training room." she replied.

"That's good then, I'm really glad he has decided to help. Let's go, tell me all that's happened in the past week." Vin said as he stood up and walked towards the door and out of the room.

The both of them headed to the Prime Hall training room as Zidane gave a report of the past week.

"There's not been much changes in the past week, the grand master had guided us in our cultivation and just two days ago we all broke through to the third stage of the Body refining realm, he had said we would go on the usual hunt today, you woke up just in time for that."

By the time she finished talking they were already standing right in front of the Prime Hall, they then walked in and headed into the training room.

"Master!" Vin called out. "Brat, you're awake, sure took you long enough" old Bai chuckled in usually husky old voice as he stroke his beard.

"I'm sorry for the trouble Master" Vin apologized with a slight bow.

"No it's nothing, as far as you fine, then it's nothing. Besides you woke up just in time. I have a mission for you" old Bai said with a faint smile.

"Really, what's the mission all about, I'm really itching for some combat, you know, been getting bored these days" Vin said in excitement.

"This mission doesn't just involve you Vin, in fact it's a mission for the Exodus Order, your very first mission as an organization" old Bai stated.

"I see, I understand." Vin said then he glanced at Zidane and instructed "Zidane, gather the Exodus Order and assemble in the throne room immediately"

"Yes, Lord Zero"

Both master and deciple then walked out of the Prime Hall and headed towards the throne room as they spoke.

"Have you resolved the situation with your bloodline?" old Bai asked.

"It was tough, but yes, we both are now one. So there won't be any issue of rebellion anymore" Vin replied.

"Hmm. That's good then, because the next time it happens, there might be no one to stop you from going rampant" old Bai stated.

"It would never happen again, I can promise that"

"Very well".

By this time they'd already reached the throne room, Vin took his place at the center throne with his master sitting at his right hand.

The Nexus Primes who were following behind also took their place, it didn't take long before the rest of the Exodus Order gathered in the throne room and also took their seats.

When Vin saw that everyone had gathered, he nodded "Alright everyone, I have gathered us here because there is an important news, one I'd like to believe is a good one.

"It's been two months since the Exodus Order was formed, with a purpose to reek this world of those who plans to destroy it. And we already have our first target in mind.

"The Eye Of The Midnight Sun. They have caused so much chaos and destruction to this continent and the people in it, and for the past two months we have trained and strived to increase our strength.

"And now it's time for us to go on our first mission, as the Exodus Order we shall bring about a new balance in this world" after Vin had given his speech, he looked over to his master.

"Although this is going to be your first mission, it's also going to be a complicated one, each and everyone of you are going to be needed for this.

"Due to a lucky Intel, I have found the location of one the units of the Eye Of The Midnight Sun, one you all know too well as you've had history with them. The Tenebrous Taskforce"

The moment old Bai said these words, everyone's eyes widened in shock as killing intent was brimming in their eyes.

"Those vile beings"

"I didn't think our first mission would be them"

"True, I guess it's time for some pay back"

"I am going to rip them apart"

"Tenebrous Taskforce. You're all dead meat"

Vin watched them as they voice out their thoughts for a while before he cleared his throat and spoke to them.

"I understand we all have a debt of blood to pay, but let's not be careless, you will all get your pay back but let's make sure we do things right, understood?"

"Yes, Lord Zero"

"Master, please tell us the details" Vin said.

"There isn't much details, only a location, that's why I said we'll need everyone. But each of you had trained in your specialty, so I'm sure you'll be fine with dealing with the small fries.

"Although there isn't much to go on, there's two important things I'm sure of, one is that their combat strengths is greater than the ones you've fought before. And the second thing is that most of them are in the Body refining realm."
