《Wolf King: Love That Transcends Worlds》 Disaster Brings New Beginnings On Christmas night, Sin receives a call from his brother in arms Zen. "Sin it''s horrible, Sabrina was hit by a car and is on the operating table now." As if being struck by thunder under Zeus''s wrath, mind blown Sin stutters as he weakly asks in hurried panic. "What hospital is she at right now?" Zen replies back "Civic Hospital myself, Reaper, Jackal, Ken are waiting as we here news of the mistress''s condition from the doctors." Sin sighing somewhat in relief replies back "Got it, I will be leaving to head over now." Before hanging up the phone Zen''s hurried voice sounds out. "Leader, what about your family? Should I dispatch anyone here to look over them?" Thinking clearly for a moment Sin says "Send Reaper, Jackal, and Ken to watch over my family. While it Is Christmas, my family is worth a hefty price to the other countries. If any are to suffer any harm, heads are rolling am I understood?" A firm and steady "Yes" from Zen and the call is concluded. Standing up from the couch, grabbing his black leather coat and motorcycle keys. Sin announces to his family "Sabrina has been hit and is currently at the Civic Hospital, Julia, Ken and Reaper will be coming here to watch over everyone while I am gone. Kid''s be good listen to your parents. Uncle will be back as soon as he can, I promise there will be extra gifts for my sudden leave." All the kids merrily cheer "Uncle is the best In the whole world!" Opening the garage door hurriedly starting his Honda CBR600RR, Sin lifts his kickstand with his foot as he storms out of the garage. Driving like a mad man Sin arrives at the Civic Hospital. Rushing into the emergency room Sin shouts at a passing nurse "What room is Sabrina undergoing operation in?" The nurse in fright answers hurriedly "S-She''s on top floor receiving the best treatment and care this hospital can provide." Thanking the nurse profusely Sin rushes off running through the hospital at a breakneck speed,side-stepping and weaving through the crowd of bodies as needed. After several minutes of running through endless working bodies and stairs, Sin finally arrives at the top floor where Zen is remaining. Upon his arrival, the operating rooms doors swing open as doctors with aggrieved looks come out. The lead doctor with a slightly choked voice says "My most sincere apologies Team Leader, we did absolutely everything we can, but when she was hit her rib-cage shattered and the bones punctured her lungs. By the time she arrived here, she was already on her last breath. We merely prolonged her anguish." Tears roll down Sin''s eyes as he punches the wall in fury and grief. Spider web cracks spread out 5 meters along the wall, as dust falls from the hole. "God dammit, this mother fucking world! All I ever tried to do was provide safety for my family and loved ones!" Tears continuing to fall as if a raging tsunami breaking through the dam''s walls. "She was the only love I had in my life, the only one who kept me alive as I walked through hell and purgatory several times. Now she''s gone and you''re here telling me you prolonged her pain? Get the fuck out of my face!"Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere. Later that evening, after gifting extra presents to his nephew''s and sole niece. Sin is sitting down in front of his computer with a bottle of Drambuie to his left, and to his right Don Papa 10 Years Rum. Drowned in his sorrows scrolling through accident reports on Sabrina''s hit and run case. Out of the blue a strange pop up appears on Sin''s screen asking "Would you traverse the path of kings, bloodshed and war to save your loved one''s life?" Clicking "Yes" on the pop up another one displays itself to Sin. "You will now be transported to the Desolate Kingdom. Good luck, don''t die before you saved your loved one''s soul." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blackness engulfs Sin''s computer screens as a giant black-white hand reaches through his monitor, grabbing hold of Sin and sending him into an unknown world. After sleeping for what felt like days on end, with a pounding headache Sin wakes up. Looking up to a red sky devoid of clouds. As the Team Leader of the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team. Sins physique had been honed beyond believable, reaching the current peak of the human''s limits. After checking his surroundings Sin finds he was in a clearing of a forest. Hearing the sound of running water, Sin approaches. Thirstily he falls to his knees vigorously cupping water and bringing it to his mouth. Shortly after the effects of his hangover dissipates. Curious as to how he had thrown his hangover so fast, Sin circulates his remaining but exhausted Qi through his body. To his shock after doing many rotations, Sin feels as his body became lighter, bones harden, skin becomes smooth and elastic. His heart beat stronger, increased hearing abilities an overall improvement to his physique, which had been stunted for 6 years. A notification dings within his head. "Congratulations due to rotating the remaining Qi within your body, your physique has increased by +5 points." [You have been transported from Earth, to the outskirts of the Desolate Kingdom.] [You have gained +15 points to Strength, Intelligence, Dexterity, Agility, Endurance"] [You have been awarded Basic Sword] [You Have been awarded Basic Sabre] [You have been awarded Basic Armor set] [You have created dual wielding skill] [You have created Blood Dragon Body Refining Method] [You have created Blood Dragon Sword Methods] [You Have created Blood Dragon Sabre Methods] [Dual Wielding has reached Basic rank level 4] [Sword Mastery has reached Basic rank level 4] [Sabre Mastery has reached Basic rank level 4] Hearing all these notifications Sin''s mind is hit by a truck. Following which surprised yelling echoes throughout the forest. What the fuck is this, why the fuck! With so many unanswered questions floating in Sin''s mind. The gears of fate start turning, with multiple paths to travel, multiple lands to explore, kingdom''s to conquer, armies to build, wild beasts to slaughter, bandits, demons. How will Sin find his place within this alien world, and what will he choose to do with his life in this world? Shocking Information Meanwhile back on earth. A figure dressed in white-black Taoist robes appears in a room with dead bodies on stretchers. Coming to one particular stretcher the old man flexes his index and middle finger. Striking the bodies multiple meridian points, stimulating the solar plexus. Monstrous amounts of high density Life Qi flows from the old man through the dead body. Slowly over time the heart starts beating, pumping blood through the body with vigor. Sighing the man mutters to himself "Great men have to face difficulties, heartache, pain, cross the paths of life and death to succeed. I am sorry you have to be the vessel, and to kill your loved one being the cruelest method. However, the results will push you through fire, blood, war, tribulation, and eventually becoming HIS successor." The path of multiple worlds collide, the Retribution Immortal sacrificed his life to deal the greatest damage to the Demon Lord. 350,000 years have passed since then, and yet somehow his soul with undying will reside within your body. A young man like you should never be put through these upcoming tribulations, and this young woman should never have to be the trigger for these events. But thus is life, when it rains it pours. Sliding both his arms underneath the body, cradling it up to his chest in a princess carry. The man looks into the soul of the woman in his embrace. "You are a woman worth the world, and thus your life will be spared. For him to suppress the Retribution Immortal''s soul for so long, you clearly mean the world to Sin. The man then disappears from the room as smoke and flowing water. The next day huge upheavals are heard within the hospital. Angry barking from the hospital''s Chief Of Staff roars within a room. "Goddammit one night, one goddamn night and her body upped and left like magic. Can anyone tell me what you goddamn shit for brain fools were doing? That''s the body of Sins lover, the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team will have all our heads without a good explanation!" All the staff look down to the floor in shame, eventually one steps up taking the head of staff "Leader, we have gone over the video footage among the floor her body was placed in. We checked the room and as if our cameras malfunctioned. There is absolutely no video footage, and there is no signs of damage or viruses to our systems servers. Smashing his hands down in a fit of rage onto the table the leader yells "This is mother fucking ridiculous, gather ANY shape or form of evidence. And if you cannot write a report and give it to me by midnight regarding this situation. Hopefully it can appease the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team." Slumping into his chair, feeling like the world''s crashing down muttering to himself "This is crazy first it was Sabrina''s death, now her body disappears like magic. Then next is the disappearance of the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team Leader like magic all within a one week period of each other. Just how are these events connected, and what possible catastrophe is this signaling the start of?"If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back at Sin''s home, his parents, friends, nephews, niece, squad members a heavy depressing atmosphere weighs down in the room. Sins mother steps out of the room crying, while his dad clenches his fists until they go white like a banshee. Zen speaks up breaking the silence. "Sin is not the man who would throw his life away to suicide, there are no realistic ways to explain his disappearance. But our leader is not dead, I can assure you all of this fact. Within our squads headquarters, we discovered a relic of unknown origins years back. Sin was cut down by an enemy and his blood splattered all over it. Like magic it activated and from our team''s tests, it somehow bound it to his life. To this day one week after, it still floats and shines bright. This is proof of him still being alive. But where he''s now? There are no possible answers for that in the world." Sins father steps forward clenching Zen''s shoulders with a weight of the mountain, or so it felt to Zen. Collecting his composure and looking into Zens eyes. "My son is not a man who can be defeated, he has reached the peak of humanities limits. I know this for a matter of fact. But for his disappearance, maybe it wasn''t all nonsense that Immortals still roam unknown to us in this world. Earth''s resources and heritage is rich, free of pollution and natural disasters for more than 350,000 years now. I can only somewhat believe the legend my grandfather told me now." Amongst their discussion unknown to Zen, Reaper and Ken an unknown voice echoes throughout the room. "Indeed the majority of you humans do not believe in the times of Immortals, but likewise you have books describing such holy events and believe in it. So why is it that your pitiful minds cannot believe in the concept of Immortality?" A man in black-white Taoists robes appears with Sabrina''s body held in his embrace. "You all do not have to worry I am merely returning someone who belongs to all of you." Sabrina''s body floats down onto the couch in the living room. With shock visible in everyone''s eyes the man chuckles again. "She will be waking up soon. Now I do not need stupid ears to hear my part of this all. So that smart man over there, and the ones radiating impressive killing intent for humans only are allowed to hear. As for the other''s, roll out of here now." Listening to the commands Sins nephews, niece, and friends leave the room obediently. Everybody remaining tensed up as Zen, Reaper and Ken unsheathe their blades. Radiating the basic level of Sword Qi taught to them by Sin. "Impressive, very impressive. I am really growing interested in you humans now. However, I am not here to fight and like I said. I would like to let you all know Sin is alive and is even doing very well for himself." Zen the leader and strongest of the group steps forward. "All right everyone sheathe your weapons and sit down, our guest here has invaluable information for us. So we should all welcome it with open words, and thanks to this man." Nodding his head in appreciation and praise for Zen, the man sits down making himself comfortable at the head of the table. "Now where shall we begin?" Sins Wearabouts "Ah I know! Let''s start with the disappearance of your son and your guys'' team leader. I transported Sin to another world that''s 200X the size of earth, with many kingdoms and empires with various continents splitting the world into many sections. The reason for this being, Sin has the soul of the Retribution Immortal residing within him. The Retribution Immortal was a man of extreme strength, and is of human origins. However, he is a special case wielding the powers of Angels, Demons, and Dragons. He destroyed the Demon Lord''s armies, and fatally wounded the Demon Lord himself. While also finding out his father had killed his people of Reinhardt City and New Heart Village. His brother became a puppet of Demons, and his loved one Adria killed him after his long and grueling fight with the Demon Lord." "However, to protect humans and keep demons at bay. He scattered his soul occupying many bodies giving them powers, and the knowledge of the events that started the wars. Why they occurred, how to cultivate and train surpassing the chains placed upon humans. I travel the many various worlds amongst the vast universes, sending promising seeds to various worlds. In the hopes of creating many disciples and awakening the Redemption bloodline once again." "So back to the main topic now, your son is the chosen one from this world. Also specifically chosen by the Retribution Immortals soul. Ever since young, you as his father should have noticed his insane growth rates, his intelligence, body and strength have been far from normal. That is the influence provided by the Immortals Soul, as well as his guiding force to become a mercenary. Pushing him to the line of life and death, to continuously survive become stronger rinse and repeat. Now he has reached maturation, and it was time I sent him to a world where he can grow into his full potential." Taking all of this information in and digesting it slowly, everyone present is shocked by the revelation that Immortals exist, and such a grand war has been ongoing for 350,000 plus years. As well as the mysterious human who has become Immortal with varying powers flowing through his veins. The first to speak is Sins father. "So if I am understanding this all right, my son has been chosen by the Immortals Soul. He was guided into the Mercenary life full of life and death. You sent him into a new world where his ''peak'' can progress further." "Correct" The old man replies nodding. Sins father continues "While there was such a powerful immortal of human origin. Why is it that as our ''ancestor'' us humans have not been able to gain his power as our generations pass by?" The old man gives a thoughtful look and eventually comes up with an answer. "Well¡­ that is a bit difficult and sadly I do not have any answers. However, I can speculate Earth''s government officials and leaders are merely puppets of the demons. All the food has been poisoned, which robs humans of the treasure trove our bodies occupy." Nodding his head Sins father begins to understand. "Since it is like so, what is the point of letting us live our lives as we are now. We have an abundance of food, clean water, non polluted environments, no more nuclear wars and so forth. Yet if they''re puppets of demons, why have we not become the arms and legs of the puppets by now?" Shaking his head the old man says in visible anger. "I wish I had the answers, but those are secrets held by powers that I do not dare stir up without enough reason."Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author. Thanking the man Sins father then asks "This world my son has been brought to. From your judgment, how likely is it that he will survive?" Thinking for many minutes the old man says "Well that I cannot tell you. Your son is under the impression he can save his lover''s life in that world. Knowing his character you should know better than anyone else the answer to your question." Sighing Sins father slaps his own thighs in frustration. "While I know my son''s character, that does not mean I know the standards of the other worlds citizens. Nor can I say humanities current peak will let my son live long enough to set his foundations. But as a father I can only believe my own son will be like me, a stubborn bastard who refuses to croak." Smiling the old man waves his hand and a luxurious tea pot set appears on the table. "Now I think it is about time we lighten the mood, and I give you all the good news about this and some bad news as well. "Within 10 years the Demon Lord will finally recover fully from his multiple injuries. That will also spell the doomsday for humans among all the vast universes. Now onto the good news, while your son is in a separate world. I have created a transfer channel between earth, and the other world. Once every 3 months I can open it up, materials, money, manuals and so forth can be transferred between the two worlds. This will allow your son to provide for Earth." "Simply put the more your son kills, the stronger he becomes. The higher chance of humanity''s survival rate. While I also wish all of this can be avoided, time is running out and we have to push the chosen seeds to the path of evolution." Sighing in relief and with a new hope burning in everyone''s eyes. Sins father asks what''s presently on everyone''s mind. "Does that mean I can see my son, and we can cross over worlds?" Tapping his fingers on the table in ponder. "That is something I do not know. But I do know we can send from our end, and we can receive from his end. I have set up plans on their end to guide Sin along the right path. While I cannot carry his hands he will have to do everything his on his own. But, I am also able to transfer voices through this channel. However, the channel can only ever last a time limit of two minutes at most. This is to limit the chance of Demons and other threats from crossing worlds. While we cannot send people over because of humans weak physiques. The Demons and various races on the other hand do not face this problem." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back in the Desolate Kingdom Sin finally collects his cool, reading through the notifications carefully. A smile creeps upon his face in satisfaction. "This world truly does cater to one''s strengths, and analyzes one''s weaknesses." Willing it with his mind in hopes like in mmorpgs, a item bag appears visible only to Sin. Willing it Sin "equips" his Basic Sword, and Basic Sabre, moving onto equipping his Basic Armor Set which includes. Arm guards, Shin pads, Shoulder pads, Overall armor, Combat Boots, and Belt. Feeling the added weight to his body, but still feeling as flexible as he was before equipping the armor and weapons. A thought occurs to his mind. "It seems my body has been enhanced to meet the standards of this world. However, I cannot gear myself up into overly heavy armor or it will slow my bodily movements." While in his train of thought Sin hears rustling from the bushes surrounding him within a 150 metre radius. Smiling Sin readies both his Sword and Sabre into an attack and offensive stance. "It seems like my welcoming party has arrived." Rushing into the bushes Sin slashes his sword down, sparks flash as weapon hits weapons. While he swings his Sabre horizontally behind him. Repelling the attack of an assassin''s dagger 4 inches away from his back. Hoh¡­. Smiling "It seems you all have brought me a present? Well to return this present I would like to state beforehand. I hope your guys'' life insurance is great in this world." Sin bends down kicking the feet of the man in front of him, breaking his center of gravity as he falls to the ground. Leaping up with his sword pointed at the ground, Shin propels himself with his Qi towards the ground. His sword piercing through the man''s armor like it were paper. Twisting his sword Shin sweeps upwards splitting the man in half from the stomach up, as guts and entrails fly from the man''s body. Slashing his sword down, sending the blood covering it flying. Sin smiles viciously as he yells out with all his force "Which one of you weak bitches is next!" Novice War God Title [You have killed the vice leader of the Hurricane Corps. All enemies within 500 meters have their Fighting Spirit reduced by -50 points, and Bravery reduced by -10 points.] "So that was a Vice Leader eh, It''s a shame Zen weren''t here. He would have slapped this bitch around like a rag doll." The leader of the Hurricane Corps notices the decrease to his soldiers Fighting Spirit and Bravery decrease by a notable chunk. Activating his [War Leaders] passive ability [Burning Rage] all allies within a 50 meter range gain +20 to all stats, Fighting Spirit +50 points, and Bravery +10 points. Noticing the change in his enemies strengths, as well as their soaring Fighting Spirit. Sin decides now is the time to pull out all of the stoppers. Since young Sin had also read Wuxia novels, hoping his guesses were correct. Sin channels his Qi into his Sword and Saber respectively, afterwards a cyan blue coloured light coats both weapons. [You have created Imbue Weapon Beginner rank Level 1. Increases Weapons attack by 5%, Critical rate 5%, Defense Ignore 5%] After hearing notifications ring in his mind, Sin becomes momentarily curious looking through the notification. "Holy fuck this is awesome! I can''t believe I created a skill just by doing such a simple action." Standing dumbly in stupor multiple swords, sabers, arrows, and daggers are targeted at all of Sin''s vital points. Waving both Sword and Saber in a 180 degree circle. Throwing all weapons off course, and their wielders back by 5 feet. Then Sin moves onto striking every dagger at it''s sharpest point, numbing the hands of the attackers and some unlucky individuals seams split between thumb and index finger. "Man that was a close call! these goddamn notifications are a nuisance in the middle of a fight." A screen pops up [Would you like to silence all notifications during battle?] Clicking "Yes" another popup follows [All notifications will be silenced until user decides to read through the reports] "Ah... Now this is much better. No more distractions, now I can continue on with my slaughter." Weaving through a tight fish net of sword and saber lights, Sin calms his breathing activating his footwork [Nine Life Steps] Two seconds later 9 heads fly through the air followed by a blood shower, soaking Sins armor and weapons as he walks through the crowd like a blood man. "Now I do not know why all of you have decided to attack me. I like to view myself as a magnanimous man. If your leader followed by henchmen come to me, kneel and swear allegiance to me I will spare your lives. If not well, these fine fellows over here missing their heads is all of your examples." All the surrounding Corps members start laughing hysterically, like they just heard the funniest joke in the world. "You expect us to lower our heads to just you? One single man and you think you can take on all 450 of our brothers and sisters? The only one walking out of here is your head atop our leaders throne." Taking that as his answer, Sin stops pointlessly talking to these men and women who do not know how to appreciate an extended olive branch. Crossing both his Sword and Saber creating a X. Sin pushes his Qi into full throttle, as the cyan blue light coursing through both weapons intensifies. Swinging his weapons in X formation into a crowd of 15+ Hurricane Corps members. The Qi powered X mutilates their bodies, leaving chunks dropping to the ground followed by a bath of blood. Sensing a strong killing intent lock onto himself, Sin smiles "It seems like the big fish has come out to play." Dashing towards the killing intent at full speed, sin cuts down many corps members, chopping their heads off sending images of blood roses flying through the sky.Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon. "Clang!" Sparks fly as Sin and the Hurricane Corpse Commanders weapons clash into each other. Twigs, leaves, and branches within a 15 meter radius fly away, as a heavy air pressure blows everything away within radius of the blow. Spinning his body into 180 degrees, Sin brazilian kicks the enemy commanders head, as he flexes his back muscles. Sending all his strength into his saber as he chops down, with the weight of the world onto the commanders shoulder. Slashing two inches into the commanders shoulder, Sin notices as his saber completely stops as if hitting an impenetrable wall. Noticing the smile of the commanders face, sin flexes his back muscles throwing himself to the ground. Narrowly dodging a slash that would have sent his head flying through the air. putting his arms into push-up position underneath his body. Sin launches himself once more slashing his sword at the commanders waist, and swiping the saber towards his achilles tendon. After both swords being blocked by the commanders bastard sword, Sin is rebounded back 10 meters as he stabilizes himself leaving two long trenches in the ground. "Very impressive warrior of unknown origins. Your bodily control is impressive, strikes deadly aiming to kill. And martial techniques are an eye opener to even my old eyes." Sin smiles as he appreciates the man in front of him as a fellow warrior. "You yourself are not bad. Another battle maniac appears in front of me the moment I enter this world, what''s the special cause behind this?" The commander gets back into an attack position as he states. "You of unknown origins are a threat to our very world. Under the commands of our tribes divination master. I have come to slaughter you before you fully develop." Sheathing both his saber and sword, Sin puts one hand on his swords scabbard, and the other onto the hilt of the blade. "It seems like this is the final stopping power huh?" Completely shutting off all the distractions in his mind, Sin closes his eyes as his aura begins undergoing a shocking change. His aura increasing to unimaginable heights as a storm of leaves, twigs, rocks, sand fly about within a 30 meter area like a domain. Both the Hurricane Corps Commander and Sin launch at each other from over 15 meters away simultaneously. Using his quick draw style [Illusionary Sword] Sins body disappears like a specter in the night. "Tsish!" As if being paralyzed by medusa herself the Hurricane Corps Commanders body freezes into place. His bastard sword falling to the ground making a rumbling "BOOM!" The commanders head flies through the air as blood splashes out, covering Sins face and entire body behind the commander. "Now to finish off the rest of these rag tag fucks." Having gained a sudden inspiration mid fight to fuse his Qi, and this worlds Mana together. Sin infuses both weapons as he pushes his 400 [Mana Points] equally distributed between both weapons. Stabbing both weapons into the ground, a 10 by 35 meter circle of glowing cyan-black flame engulf the remaining members of the Hurricane Corps. As bodies are incinerated into ash immediately, followed up by a shower of Mana and Qi infused Sword and Saber lights descend clearing the members outside of the 10 by 35 area. Falling to his ass on the ground, huffing and puffing like a old dog on a humid summer day in Ottawa. Sin gasps for air as his body goes limp weakly laying back to the ground face up to the cloudless red sky. One notification to his surprise sneaks through Sins "silenced" settings. [You have been awarded Novice War God Title] After reading through the notification before Sin has the chance to check the description and the effects of said title. He hears a voice that echoes 5 feet away from him without discovering the sudden appearance of a new aura. "Not bad kid, the current generation Wolf King was right about you. An alien new to our world of unimaginable power and technique would be appearing in the Forest Of Lost Souls." On high alert forcing his body up in his exhausted state, Sin unsheathes both his weapons imbuing them with what little Qi resides within his body. Using [Void Steps] that Sin previously used with [Illusionary Sword] against the Hurricane Corps Commander. Sin appears behind the body of the unknown man. The man "hooohs" in extreme excitement at seeing somebody "vanish" completely erasing his presence of life force from the surroundings. Grabbing the tip of Sins sword who is inches away from sending the unknown mans head flying through the air. The man applies pressure with his thumb, index and middle finger. Sin tries his hardest to pull his sword out from the mans grips. But feeling the completely overwhelming strength from the opposite party. Deciding the best case of option to give his sword up, using all his body weight and remaining strength to send his shoulder into the mans chest. While simultaneously forming eagle claws with his hands, aiming to rip the mans throat apart. Unknown to him before his shoulder could even make impact with the mans body. A hand chop lands on the back of Sins neck rendering him unconscious, as his body falls to the ground like a sack of potatoes. Whistling in excitement to himself the man can''t help but praise. "This mother fucker is a vicious pup, with potentials beyond all I have seen in my years. It''s a good thing the Wolf King has sent me to bring him back before he loses his life." Wolf King Sirius 5 days pass since Sin entered into the Desolate Kingdom, achieving victory over the Hurricane Corps. Shortly after an unknown voice pushes an exhausted Sin to his feet again, ready to deal with another opponent as his conscious is fading away. After being knocked out in one shot, the unknown man throws the unconscious Sin over top his shoulder. Making his way back to the Wolf Kings Wolf Heart City. Upon waking up with a feeling of weakness spreading throughout his body. All the cells and meridians throughout his body screaming bloody murder, begging for any kind of nourishment to recover from their over exerted state. Sin takes the time to go over the logs from his fight with the Hurricane Corps.

"One day in this world, and I already feel as if I were a cheat in this world." Becoming fully aware of his bodies situation, Sin is left helpless as he doesn''t even know where he is, or when he will be able to replenish his body. The door to the room Sin is opened is opened up by the same man who knocked Sin out, and brought him back to Wolf Heart City. "Hooh, not bad kid, with the current state of your body I was under the impression you''d be out of commission for 2 weeks. Well whatever, since we''re allies and I am your elder brother, you can call me Zenith." Struggling to raise himself up from his lying position, Sin falls back as his body spasms. "No need to force yourself, I have already asked the servants to prepare a luxurious feast for you to eat and replenish your bodies lack of nourishment. During the feast you will meet our leader, Wolf King Sirius. Now let''s get going shall we?" Walking towards Sin, supporting him to get up Zenith asks "Are you able to manage, or is elder brother needed as support?" Thanking Zenith for the support Sin smiles "No it''s okay I can handle it from here, since I am already up my body will listen to me willingly or not." Walking throughout the luxurious mansion Zenith and Sin go down various hallways, flights of stairs and after 15 minutes of walking which felt like a decade to Sin in his current state. They finally arrive at the dinning hall with tables spread out throughout the hall, and with various fruits, meats, vegetable dishes, breads, sweets, and alcohols. Clicking his tongue Sin can''t help but compliment the feast spread out for him. "It reminds me of the good old days, when Commander Glaze use to prepare a welcoming back feast for me and my brothers of the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team."A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. With Zenith leading the way towards the table in the center of the dinning hall. An imposing man in black-silver full body armor, with long 8 inch razor sharp daggers fastened to his belt. A wolf pelt radiating steel blue electrical currents flowing throughout it hangs from the shoulders of the man. A scar from his right eyebrow all the way down to his chin rests proudly on the mans face. Flowing black hair rests upon his cape, as piercing aqua blue eyes stare intently at Sin. Arriving at the table Zenith pulls a chair out from the side of the man. Zenith introduces the man to Sin "This is the Wolf King Sirius, and he is the man who had dispatched me to the Forest Of Lost Souls with the goal to bring you back to our city." Surprise flashes in Sins eyes as he stands back up and bows to the man "Greeting Wolf King Sirius, I am Sin. Thank you for dispatching your men to bring me here, without your kind gestures I could very well be shit from a beasts ''hearty meal'' in my current weak state." "Sit down, no need for such bullshit formalities in front of me. I am not a man who pursues what other leaders do. I am well aware of your sincerity if you truly wish to thank me, you will have your chance in the near future." Sitting back down as told by Sirius. Sin replies "Life is precious no matter how low a persons status is, I will do well to thank you Sirius." "Enough chit chat everybody our guest here is starved. Today we feast and drink until we cannot no more!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Later that night Zenith, Sirius, Sin are sitting in a private room in Sirius home. "You must be confused as to why you have been brought to this world am I right?" Sin nodding his head asks "If you have answers I would like to know." "Aiii... Well as you are unaware since you have come from the world called Earth. 350,000 years ago an ancient war between Humans, Angels, Demons broke out. There was a man who was called the Retribution Immortal of human descent. However, he was a special man who was of human origins who contained the powers of Angels, and Demons. He also had the legendary bloodline of the Dragon Goddess running through him. With a combination of all these powers, he was a truly strong man beyond belief. Causing many problems for demons, and their sub race slaves." "During this war, the Retribution Immortal fatally injured the Demon Lord and was reunited with his wife after many long years. However, unknown to him the Demon Lord ''faked'' his death as his soul was in control of his loved one. When he embraced his loved one, after a long and grueling 10,000 years of hardships, life and death trials. He was stabbed through the heart coated in Immortal God Slaying Poison." "Unwilling to allow humans suffer in the following generations. The Retribution Immortal had somehow managed to conserve his soul. His soul has traveled the various realms, galaxies, worlds he had gone through when he was alive. And many unknown to him, while looking for various ''gifted seeds'' to send to different worlds, nurturing many disciples and armies to fight back the Demons advance to conquer all of humanity through these realms." "As you may be able to tell, myself and Zenith are included in those ''gifted seeds'' sent to other worlds. I have come here over 1,500 years ago. As for Zenith well, he''s just a young pup like you sent here only 2 years prior." Nodding his head so far in understanding of the story so far, Sirius continues on. "The Demon Lord has been recovering over these 350,000 years, and our clans Divination Grand Master has received a shocking reveal from his divination''s. The Demon Lord will be fully recovered in 10 years from now, and will once again reclaim leadership of all his armies. Leading them throughout the various cosmos''s and galaxies conquering humans. Enslaving them and dinning on humans as the ''delicacies'' we are to those fucking bastards!" "So this is where you come into play, within you resides the remnant soul of the Retribution Immortal. You were transported from Earth, to the Desolate Kingdom. Where you would meet us the Wolf God Clan." "Truth be told, during my younger years after I had become the 9th generation Wolf King. While travelling this world, I had sustained severe injuries from a Demon General that I have not recovered from. My life is running on fumes right now, I have at most 2 months left to live. So within this time I am gonna train you like an absolutely crazed mother fucker." "These 2 months are the time I have bought for you, by clearing all the puppets of the demons within the region of Wolf Heart City. That Hurricane Corps that you single handedly eradicated by yourself, is one of the ones that have slipped through my net. And also the trial that I had prepared for you before your training to observe your strengths, as well as your weaknesses." "I can tell that you have improved leaps and bounds alone just from that one fight. So I will reward you now with your trials rewards." Standing up from his seat. Sirius walks over to Sin, tapping his index and middle finger on his forehead with his left hand. While his right hand is placed over top of Sins heart, transferring vast amounts of pure Life Qi through sins body. [You have gained knowledge of Wolf King Sword Methods] [You have gained knowledge of the Saber Technique Earth''s Solace] [You have gained knowledge of Wolf Heart Spirit Refinement Methods] [You have gained knowledge of Wolf King Tyrant Flame Body Refinement] [System has detected two body refining methods of the same grade. Would you like to fuse methods to create a brand new body refining method?] Clicking "Yes" on the prompt, a new one follows shortly after. [You have fused Wolf King Tyrant Flame Body Refinement and Blood Dragon Body Refining Method] [You have created Divine Dragons Tyrant Wolf King Flame Body Refinement Method] [Divine Dragons Tyrant Wolf King Flame Body Refinement Method: Saint] "Now I am aware it has been a busy day, so go back to your chambers and rest for you will walk into what I call Purgatory tomorrow morning." Smiling viciously Sirius walks out of his room going into the basement to sort out what ''methods'' he will teach Sin the true meaning of ''purgatory'' with. Clapping Sin on the shoulders Zenith shudders as fear and pain surfaces on his face. "Brother you must do well, not to accidentally die during the so called ''purgatory'' training. That crazed old mother fucker nearly killed me 2,478 times to the fucking T" Eyes twitching Sin thanks Zenith. "Your a good brother, but unlike you I will conquer this so called ''purgatory'' I also will not nearly die such a disgraceful amount of times as you did elder brother." Sin walks away with a disdainful smile on his face hearing Zeniths track record. Sighing with a vicious smile of his own. "Be cocky now you fucking brat. That old man only ever mentions ''purgatory'' when he has found a true diamond. However, unlike your naivete how could a young pup like you miss the twinkle in that old fucks eyes?" Down in his underground room Sirius sneezes, wiping his nose muttering under his breath. "Goddamn that Zenith is talking shit behind my back to the rookie. I will also have to remind his sorry ass what purgatory is all about again tomorrow morning." Purgatory Boot Camp The next day after a hearty feast, good alcohol and swallowing everything Sirius had to say the night before. Sin feels refreshed and finally decides, it was about time to look at his status page uninterrupted for the first time of his arrival into the Desolate Kingdom. [Name: Sin] [Level: 1] [Age: 23] [Gender: Male] [Race: Human] [Health: 1000] [Mana: 400] [Strength base 20 +15] [Intelligence base 20 +15] [Dexterity base 20 +15] [Agility base 20 +15] [Endurance base 20 +15] [Physique Hidden Stat base 20 +5] Looking at his status for the first time, Sin thoroughly shocks himself at the numbers shown on his screen. "I must be careful in this world, although the stats look impressive. What truly matters is how I use my strength, knowledge, techniques to keep myself alive. The day I become conceited will very well be the day I lose my life." Hearing a knock on his door, Sin pulls his focus away from his status page as Zenith walks into his room, shutting the door behind him. "Good morning younger brother, I hope you slept well. Because today is the day that old fuck introduces you to the Purgatory Boot Camp. I cannot tell you how much I have suffered through his training. Now it is up to whether you train like a man, or look like a ugly hooker on the side streets of downtown." Walking past Zenith, Sin looks the man in the eyes "I appreciate your words of encouragement. However, I have been through many scenarios and devil like instructors have taught me. They are all the same people, with separate training methods. If your will and mind are focused, nothing will break your concentration on what''s in front of you. Now let''s go I am looking forward to this Purgatory Boot Camp." Smiling as Sin exits his room with Zenith following behind. The two men under Zenith''s directions make their way through Wolf Heart City, meeting Wolf King Sirius after running at a moderate pace for 3 hours straight. Behind Wolf Heart City, a man made training ground with natural waterfalls and enchanting scenery rests. Sirius with his old age and burning excitement the previous night, came to the training grounds at 2 am in the morning preparing his boot camp. With various state of the art training machines, various weighted full body suits with stones attached to them as a ''measurement of weight'' lay. Amongst the pile of weighted suits lays one pitch black suit of armour, radiating a crippling aura that even makes a staunch man like Sin waver while looking at it. "Welcome to the Purgatory Boot Camp young''uns, for one of you this was a nightmare 2 years ago. For the other is a land of mystery and unknown." Standing proudly in front of the Sin and Zenith, Sirius sports a massive shit eating grin which easily gives the mischief behind this aged elder. Lazily pointing his thumb sideways to the armor beside himself, Sirius introduces "This armour here is called Devastation. It was said in the Retribution Immortals younger years, he had also donned the very same armour. Pushing his body beyond limits normal to him by multitudes of ''curses'' while also being healed by the armour. Think of it like being in the womb of your mother. A caring gentle hand picks you back up every time, only to slap you back down into hell and back for as long as you wear Devastation." Point nonchalantly at Sin "This will be what you are wearing during my 2 month training program. You will suffer excruciating, hell like pain beyond what your mind and body can deal with. During this process, Devastation will whip all your ''bad habits'' you have created through combat out of you. While continuously strengthening your physique, meridians, bones, flesh, cells, and blood." Taking the initiative to arrive in front of Devastation. Sin eagerly throws himself into ''purgatory'' as he states "No rest for the wicked!" Zenith is left behind eyes wide open as if walking into a murder scene involving his family. Cursing underneath his breath "Goddamn brat look at you all eager now, until you suffer the various curses Devastation has to offer." Backing away ready to leave the Purgatory Boot Camps training ground Zenith shouts out "Good luck junior brother Sin. May you walk out of this place as a new born man of unimaginable strengths!"If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Just as Zenith is about to fully leave. Sirius appears behind him grabbing his shoulder and throwing Zenith back into the training grounds. "Where do you think your going you little shit. Do you think you talking shit behind my back last night went unnoticed? You too will also re-equip Devastation, these past months you have gotten too comfortable no longer making as much progress." With a face full of terror a scream of agony rushes out of his mouth as a loud "FUCK MY ASS!" Echoes throughout the training grounds. Coming to the front of Sin who''s currently donned Devastation. Sirius pats Sin on the shoulders "I expect great things from you as the 10th generation Wolf King. During these 2 months we will be focusing on your foundations, combat techniques, breathing, movement techniques, battle sense, instincts and many more categories." "Your day will be broken up into 24 equal sections. Sword training, Saber training, Movement training, Body training, Mana manipulation, Qi combination, Martial techniques, and so forth. You will be allotted 3 hours to each of your training sessions with a 15 minute break in-between each section." "This Purgatory boot camp is special in the sense that I have found a relic from times of immortals, that slows the movement of time by 3X. Meaning 1 hours here is equal to 3 in the outside world. You will be training 66 hours with Devastation on, and 6 hours off as Zenith gets whipped back into shape during the process." "During this time as you are being trained in the various sections, Zenith and I included will be your opponents. Over the years I have created a many of stout wooden sticks. With the added effects of [Bone Breaker] and [Gravity] Under the effects of Bone Breaker you will feel the pain of all your bones being broken in the striked area, without have the broken bones. And with the effects of Gravity, you will have the pressure of gravity weigh down on you condensing your bones, shattering them and reforming them from Devastation''s side effects." Nodding his head with vigorous fighting intent blazing within his eyes. "I mean you no disrespect Sirius, but may we start training now? I know back on Earth I was a very proud man, and even became cocky after finding no one who was capable of being my match. After arriving in this world, I plan to thoroughly cleanse myself of any cockiness." Smiling in appreciation Sirius cannot help himself but to compliment Sin "A young man with a broad mind, who also understands himself best is already a smooth and well crafted piece of diamond. Now since you''re in my hands, I will raise your quality to the highest standard I can with what remains of my life!" Taking Sin to the highest natural waterfall Sirius explains. "I have created .4 inch thin wooden planks that I have placed into this natural waterfall. Inside of that shed are 2 boulders shaped completely out of steel weighing 149 kg''s each, for a total of 656 pounds. You will attach the cuffs of the steel boulders to your ankles as you climb up the waterfall. With the rushing water falling down upon your body, as well as the 1.5x gravity I will be placing upon you." "During said process, both myself and Zenith included will be equipped with my stout sticks. Your goal is to gain absolute control over your body, fending us off as you climb to the top of this waterfall. For each time you fail and are blown off each step, you will have to do 25 Goblet Squats with the steel boulders, followed by a 2 minute full speed sprint before retrying to climb the waterfall." A vicious smile appears on Sirius''s face. "I may have also forgot to mention the curses that will descend upon you from Devastation." Walking to the shed Sin walks inside, finding the 2 steel boulders. Sin attaches the cuffs to his ankles as he takes 10 steps out of the shed. With visible signs of sweat already dripping down his forehead, he walks towards the starting base at the bottom of the waterfall. With Sirius on the right hand side of the waterfall, and Zenith to his left. Both shout out in unison "Are you ready!?" Nodding his head Sin willfully equips his Saber in his right hand, and Sword in his left hand. "As read as I will ever be!" Jumping off the platform onto the first wood plank embedded into the waterfall. Sin feels the crashing water, and added gravity onto his body as he barely stabilizes himself. Meanwhile Sirius launches himself from the right slashing his stick towards Sins thighs, as Zenith follows up with a slash to his shoulders. Putting his swords tip facing towards the ground Sin blocks Sirius''s strike, as he sweeps his arm out horizontally with his Saber block Zenith''s strike. Kicking out with his right leg Sin is taken aback as a "burning" feeling causing extreme anguish to him as he bites down hard on his teeth. Fighting through the first wave of Devastation''s curse, Sins leg meets Zenith''s feet. as he launches himself onto the second platform. Running up the waterfalls planks like a pro mountain climber. After making it to the 10th platform, Sin is paralyzed momentarily as Sirius appears behind his back slashing down with his stick hitting his back. Dealing with the agonizing pain, Sin flexes his thighs as he jumps 3 inches. Avoiding Zenith''s sweep that would have sent him to the bottom of the waterfall. Just as Sin lands back onto his feet, the 1.5x gravity that was weighing him down ceases. With overwhelming strength to stabilize himself, his feet loses balance as he lands overbearingly atop the soaking wet plank plunging into the pool of water. A cocky "cheh" sounds as Zenith sounds out in frustration "This young pup ain''t bad, even I only made it to the 3rd platform before being knocked down. And that was only with Sirius attacking me let alone having another distraction." Laughing heartily at Zenith''s comment Sirius says in a provocative matter. "Is your junior starting to make you realize you''ve become conceited?" "Like fucking hell!" Zenith yells clearly falling for the provocation. "Oh stop sounding like a whine ass who''s still suckling on his mothers tits. It''s your turn next while the young''un does his follow up exercises." And just like that the first day passes, as both Sin and Zenith make it to there cabin thoroughly exhausted after enjoying a nutritious meal. Both falling like a sack of potatoes onto their beds, falling dead asleep instantly. Both of the young men pass through the night peacefully, with their well deserved rest..... That was of course until 3 hours later Sirius kicks the door down. "I remember someone once saying. ''no sleep for the wicked'' both of you pussies wake the fuck up. Dawn has broke signalling a brand new day full of excitement!" Both senior and junior brother grumble waking up as they yell out to the sky "FUCK OUR ASS!" Maniac laughter follows from Sirius, as if an old man with dementia remembering the good times from his childhood. Phoenix Cry Cities Summoning 53 days pass peacefully as Sin and Zenith get their asses handed to them by Sirius. After the first month, despite Sirius being such a tough old bastard like he was. Both Sin and Zenith''s moods start to sour during their training. With each passing day the man would put on a facade displaying his normal overbearing might, but even an idiot could tell with his life force constantly burning out, he was becoming weaker and more ill as the days pass. Today was an odd day during their training, Sirius was lacking all of his normal energy and was huffing and puffing like an old dog. During their morning training, Sin had blown Sirius off the wooden platforms like a kite with its strings cut. Sirius had barely managed to stabilize himself, as he coughs up many mouth-fulls of blood. Wheezing as he falls onto his ass. Sin unequipped Devastation without a second thought, disappearing and arriving behind Sirius catching him as his body falls limply into his embrace. A feat that Sin wouldn''t have been able to accomplish nearly 2 months ago, with his [Void Steps] he had crossed 150 meters in a split second. Noticing that Sirius had fallen asleep and a peaceful look resting on his face. Sin carries Sirius back to the cabins, as he places the unconscious Sirius on top of a bed. Before leaving the room, Sin looks back with a look of guilt and blame "I am sorry Sirius, may you rest will. I will continue my training with brother Zenith." After closing the door and leaving the vicinity of the cabin, Sirius''s eyes open up devoid of the natural ''light'' that his eyes normally shun. "To think that this brat has improved so much, even with my weakening state I am able to display 65% of my full power, and he had still blown me away like I were nothing. What a sick mother fucking potential this young pup has developed to be." Right as Sirius closes his eyes, the lackluster black ring on his right ring finger flashes a multitude of times as if in a hurry. Using his Spirit Force to read the messages he had received in such a hurry. 49 Messages were displayed to him from each of the Wolf God Clan Elders. "Wolf King my apologies to interrupt you while you train Zenith and Sin. One of the clan elders dispatched to Phoenix Cry Clan had been killed during a raid from the bandits surrounding their city. It has been confirmed they have the backing of the Demons sub Beast Men race." "Wolf King my apologies to interrupt you. The Phoenix Cry City has summoned us as allies to fight back the Beast Men that''s invading their territory." "Wolf King....." Sighing to himself "No sleep for the wicked huh?" Pulling himself together Sirius replies back to all of the elders respectively. "I will conclude the two young pups training today. At 3 pm in the afternoon, I expect 20 of you elders to be assembled outside of the Purgatory Boot Camp Grounds with 1,500 men and women each. Since they want war, we shall fight to the bloody end!" After sending his reply to all the elders, leaving it up to them to decide who will bring their armies with them. Sirius flashes out of the cabin with break neck speed. Arriving at his destination behind the tallest waterfall in the training grounds. A giant boulder stands in front of Sirius, approaching it while releasing the Wolf King Qi exclusive to Wolf Kings. The boulder splits in half as it reveals an opening leading deeper into the mountain. After walking down a path of stone steps for 20 minutes. Sirius places his palm in the middle of an alcove on the wall. After channeling his Qi into it, a door opens up through the wall. Entering into a spacious room that''s 100 by 150, Sirius walks to the back. Repeating the process of putting his palm into an alcove. Sirius enters a back room, where a shrine lays with 9 statues, and 9 portraits are of all the previous, and the current generations Wolf King. Sighing in deep regret, Sirius looks to the 8th generation statue. Walking towards it and kowtowing while banging his head a multitude of times, until blood starts flowing from his forehead. With a pained expression on his face and slight traces of tears welling from his eyes. "Father, my time has finally come. I will be rejoining you shortly, I have accomplished my goal of finding a proper 10th generation Wolf King, if you were alive you would be very proud of your junior." "I was nothing but an orphan in my world, until that was when I was transported here and you took me in as your son. Eventually I succeeded you when you passed as the 8th generation Wolf King. Now I will finally be able to go out with one last grand bang with my life."Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At 3 pm sharp in the afternoon 20 elders arrive at the Purgatory Boot Camp training grounds. Lined in orderly fashion with equal squads of 1,500 men and women fighters behind each Elder. All the elders and 30,000 warriors shout in unison. "Greetings your majesty Wolf King!" Sin and Zenith who are in the middle of a sparring contest are disrupted, temporarily losing focus as both men land blows into each others guts. "God damn what the fuck was that!?" Sin shouts in surprise "That''s a goddamn platoon outside we are going to war!" Zenith answers in surprise, but with uncontrolled glee flashing within his eyes. "Finally after almost 2 full months of hellish training, I can unleash all my frustrations and angers built up over this period!" Nodding his head in acceptance "Indeed you have built up many frustrations and angers over this period. Compared to your pathetic 2,478 near death experiences, I on the other hand only suffered 225 such moments. Also including this period of training that makes 3,025, an additional 547 times I brought you close to death''s gates." Snickering at his ''elder brother'' Sin walks off towards the sound of the platoon. "FUCK YOUR MOTHER!" A raged voice sounds out from behind as Zenith follows. "Your cock isn''t big enough to satisfy my mother!" Silence pursues as both men stare at each other in shock, before bursting out into humorous laughter. Arriving to the scene where 30,000 soldiers stand still like a statue. Radiating a killing intent that''s tangible to the sense of touch. Both men''s hair on their bodies raise, as a mix of excitement and bestial instincts rages amok within. It was then at that point a crushing suppression weighs down upon everyone present. With all feeling helpless within the boundary of the crushing suppression to everyone''s will. Wolf King Sirius makes his grand entrance, decked out in a full body crimson-black battle suit. Upon his back rests an impressive 8 foot long great sword named [Wolf Fang] Everyone present kneels down on one knee, heads bowed down to the great Wolf King. "Everybody rise, I''m sure all of you know my temperament by now. As a leader, and your Wolf King. I feel the utmost pride of everyone who''s kneeling before my eyes. As your Wolf King I view all of you as my cubs, men and women alike." "Our allies the Phoenix Heart Clan has summoned us. The Demons sub Beast Men race have raided our allies, and even our elder Jasmine has been slaughtered by them. I ask all of you, will we sit down and take this provocation up our asses?" "FUCK NO!" everyone roars in anger, and grief. Elder Jasmine was the mother hen of the clan, to the many kids who joined the clan as orphans, and previously slaves of various powers. Jasmine had taught, and loved all of them equally without discrimination of gender, or origins. "As people who have been loved, and taught by Jasmine. Are you going to let your mother figure die in vain?" "HELL NO!" the shouts of 30,000 powerful men and women reverberate through the training grounds, reaching as far as Wolf Heart City. "As people who are apart of our glorious clan, the Phoenix Heart Clan has been apart of us for thousands of years. Everybody has a ''predestined'' one who will be your significant other half in their clan. As men and women who bare such responsibilities. Will you allow your enemies to slaughter your future husband and or wife?" "We will not let our allies, and future significant other half die to the hands of those dirty fucking Beast Men!" "Very good now all my cubs we march towards Phoenix Cry City. Our mission? Slaughter and Annihilate!" "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" A dazzling battle cry full of killing intent erupts, filling everyone in Wolf Heart City with a sense of pride. Followed by an equally overbearing battle cry of their own, as mothers, fathers, children, and loved ones send their fighters off to conquer their enemies as well as saving their allies. 30,000 men and women begin marching vigorously towards Phoenix Cry City. In the front both Zenith and Sin had been summoned by Sirius. Especially more so Sin, as the next generations Wolf King, it was the perfect time to introduce him to some of the clans elders. "Come young pup let me introduce you to the elders standing behind me. Everyone I would like you to introduce you to someone. This here is Sin, he will be the 10th generation Wolf King. I know all of you will not bow your heads so easily to another Wolf King. That is why I am using this upcoming war to prove to you all, just how much of a bad ass mother fucker this young pup is." Coming forward to all the 20 elders present. Cupping his hands and bowing to a 90 degree angle. Sin says with respect "Greetings elders I am Sin, I do not know all of you personally. Nor do I expect you all to view me in a good light. However, I will earn it through the blood of my enemies, and the power I display to all of you!" "Young man you may rise. Truth be told old man Sirius has already sent us Qi videos of you during your training, and the shocking results you show day after day. While the majority of us here have accepted it, there are a few who do not accept your training results as proper proof. While your potentials and monstrous learning speed has shocked all of us, battle power is always the strongest proof. Do us all a favor when your on the battle field alright? The more heads you claim and the more people you kill, the more the other wills be willing to bow and accept you as the new Wolf King." Raising his body, looking every elder present in the eyes. Sin nods his head thankfully "You have my word elders, I will obtain a kill count that will make everyone accept me as the 10th generation Wolf King." Sirius twists his head looking backwards seeing the approving looks of his elders, and the task they have given to Sin to prove his worth. Sirius yells out "Start moving you bunch of lolly gags, we aren''t here for shits and giggles!" "Yes Wolf King Sirius! The elders and Sin reply in unison." Delivering Severed Heads AS Arrival Gifts After 4 days of travelling nonstop, Sin takes the time to check his status page after the majority of 2 months bitter training. [Level 1] [Name: Sin] [Age: 23] [Gender: Male] [Race: Human] [Health has increased by 350 points (base 1,000 + 350) total 1,350] [Mana has increased by 650 points (base 400 + 650) total 1,050] [Physique has increased by 15 points.

Now this upcoming war will really test how well I can adapt to the growths since no longer having Devastation suppressing me." Being shaken out of his stupor from Zeniths nudging, "Sin brother, you gotta pay more attention while out here. All though it''s cool to look through your stats and all. This ain''t the proper time to do so, with the Beast Men''s preparations to raid Phoenix Cry City. They''re sure to have made plenty of traps, especially more so since we''re only 4 kilometers away from the city." Thanking Zenith for his thoughtful reminder Sin is summoned over to the front lines by Sirius. Arriving at the front standing shoulder to shoulder. Sin speaks out "You called for me Sirius?" Staring into the distance with unknown thoughts and emotions flowing through his eyes. "Indeed I have, are you ready to let loose after 2 months of suppression?" "Very much eager so, ever since I unequipped Devastation 4 days ago. I feel this unimaginable strength and fighting spirit cooking me alive." Laughing aloud "As you should my boy, Devastation is a true tool to make someone feel like a phoenix raising from the ashes. However, it'' a shame that it only works one time per person in their life time. If that weren''t the case, maybe I would have been cured of my injures long ago." "Anyways the real reason I called you up here is simple. 2 1/2 kilometers in front of us is a bandit squadron with 1,250 people bandits as well as 2,400 Beast Men. I want you to take lead of the initial charge with our men and women, carving a bloody path into Phoenix Cry City. So what do you think my boy, do you feel up to this challenge?" Sin is thunderstruck with Sirius wanting him to take the lead. But nonetheless as the hot-bloodedness courses through him like the old days with the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team, Sin accepts with unconcealed fighting spirit. "Yes Wolf King Sirius, it would be my honour to lead such an assault since coming into this world." Turning around looking at his 30,000 strong army of fighters behind him. Sirius shouts out aloud "Who here dares to put their lives in the hands of my boy Sin? I want 2,500 brave men and women with the cock and balls who dare to do so step forward now, as for the rest of you stay put until further notice." A moment of silence pursues, shortly after 1,000 men and 1,500 women come forward to Sirius. Smiling in pride for his people, only 3 seconds passed since his announcement before 2,500 rushed forward with firm belief in their eyes. "Now all of you listen carefully. When you''re under Sins commands, I am Wolf King in name. My authority, is Sins authority. Listen well, prove your loyalty, and most important of all. Come back alive, I wish to see all of you cubs one last time!" Confused by what Sirius had said, all of the men and women are not given a chance as Sin steps forward. "I will not waste time saying pointless things, all of you I want you to gather in groups of 25. 10 who excel in combat, 10 who excel in defense, 5 who excel in support. The 5 who who excel in supporting will have 2 in each group, the remaining person will be tasked with using their judgement to best determine which group they''ll support, and when to switch." "My requirements are simple. Everyone should form pairs with people they are familiar with, trained, sparred, and fought with. Each defensive person will be the attackers ''shadow'' covering the back, while the attacker will lead the way forward handling the front. Each attacker and defender team will be spaced 7 meters away from each other. As for the supporters, you will stand 10 feet back in between the various teams. When the pairs are under more pressure they can take, your duty is to quickly exterminate the extra enemies ganging up on the pairs." "I want to ask now to make sure, does everyone present understand my concept of this formation?" 2,500 voices yell out "Yes we do Leader Sin!"If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. "Very good now all of you get into formation, make sure all of 2 person teams are spread out 7 meters equally from each team. I will take the lead acting like a hot knife through butter. All 25 person teams, and 2 person pairs will advance after I reach 50 meters ahead!" Running ahead the moment Sin reached the desired 50 meter mark, 2,500 fighters behind him advance like well programmed machines. Watching all this unfold from a high platform with Zenith and the 20 elders. Sirius can''t help but cockily ask everyone present "So what do you think of my boy''s tactics?" The elders present feel cold sweat drip down their backs as Rein takes the lead. "I feel these tactics are quite monstrous, while the 2 people pairs are spaced 7 meters apart in equal distance, with the supporters following behind them. They efficiently have the attackers tanking the front, the defender watching the back, and the support taking care of the extras that make their way over. And if the one pair is struggling and or starting to tire, another close by pair that''s energetic and killed their enemies, can provide support while the 2 support personnel are occupied with their tasks. This should significantly cut down the death count. And formation arrays can be strategically used during such formations, or they can send all their power into one person for one fatal blow." Nodding his head in acceptance, and possibilities Rein had just mentioned aloud. Sirius chuckles in excitement. "Rein, I know you are one of the ones who disapprove of Sin being the 10th generation Wolf King. To hear you so excitedly talk about possibilities, and praising the tactics. That kid must have given you a shock?" Likewise chuckling "You have picked a fine replacement my Wolf King." ----------------------------------------------------------------- After advancing a total of 550 meters unimpeded, Sin comes across his first group of scouts. Using his Qi alongside [Blood Dragon Sword Methods] Multiple rays of Sword Light descend from the sky. Slaughtering the scouts. Continuing deeper into enemy territory, hearing the sounds of blood spilling and cries of pain. The enemy start banging their war drums and blowing their trumpets of war. "Fresh meat to the grinder" Laughing maniacally Sin dashes into the enemy camp, while all their soldiers are gathering their equipment. Catching the enemy with their pants down. Sin distributes 150 Man equally to his Sword and Saber. Stabbing them tip down into the ground. a massive 20 by 70 meter [Black Flame Array] appears in the middle of the enemy encampment. Instantly incinerating the 100 enemies caught unprepared with their pants down. Followed up by a 25 by 60 meter [Flowing Light Array] annihilates the 50 others rushing forward to assist the freshly incinerated. As if under commands, the Sword and Saber lights descend slashing at the oncoming raiders necks. Sending beautiful crimson red roses flying through the air. Holding up a bag Sin pulled out of his inventory, spending 25 points of Mana. A strong suction force, sucks in all 50 severed heads into the bag. After claiming his trophies, Sin hears a stampede of raiders and Beast Men alike running straight towards him. Followed by the loud infuriated roars of the Beast Women Captain of the enemy squad. "Human how dare you waltz into our territory on your own, slaughtering my men and slaves!" With a voice laced with primordial ice "Who ever said that I was alone in this endeavor?" After Sins decree, the 2,500 men and women in their 25 man squads and 2 men pairs followed by their supports rush into the enemy camp. Roaring aloud "Lead no traitorous human, and Beast Men pig alive!" Jumping right into action picking their own enemies, Sin walks to the front of the Beast Women Commander. "While I am a gentleman, there is no room for that on the battlefield. Draw your weapon or die where you stand!" Dashing towards the enemy Commander, Sin slashes down his Sword with all of his might, activating all the muscles in his body. Including adding his body weight into the mix, Sins Sword slashes down at unimaginable speeds catching the opposing Commander off guard. Before she had managed to properly raise her Great Sword in a defensive position, Sins sword had already slashed 7 inches through her shoulder. Just barely being stopped by the haft. If it weren''t for the ridiculously out of place extended haft (hilt) Sin would have cut his enemy clean in half before she even had the chance to attack back. Considering she was already half cleaved in half to begin with after the first strike. Her total battle force was already crippled only reaching a measly 20% of her full force. Smiling sadistically, Sin twists his wrist slashing his blade out in a straight line. Ripping out a portion of his enemies pectoralis, spraying blood everywhere on the ground. Without a moments rest, moving behind his enemy like a specter in the night. Sin brazilian kicks the commander, followed up with a one-inch punch to her spine. With the unimaginable might of an infant dragon coursing through his muscles, a sharp sounding "SNAP!" is heard as pieces of the commanders spine shatter. Bursting out her back into a bloody rain shower, with chunks of bone in the pool of blood now laying below her body. The enemy Commander fall to the ground powerlessly. The moment her body hits the ground, a blur of cyan light flashes by. Sending the Commanders head rolling, bending down to collect the head of the Commander. Sin places his trophy into his bag of collected heads. During the whole time Sin was distracted during the fight. "I know I was forgetting something important!" It was then as his question sounds out in his mind it was answered. [You have killed the Beast Women Commander Kershult. Enemy morale decreased by -100 points, Fighting Spirit decreased by -35 points.] "Ahh and there it is. I forgot to silence my goddamn notifications again. If I had caught a much bigger fish, my ass could have been grass!" Shaking his head at himself a smile can''t help but appear on his face. "Since I''m done with their commander, I can''t be slacking off here as my men and women are fighting life and death battles." 15 minutes after sweeping through the enemy camp. Eliminating all the remaining stragglers, not a single man or women from Sins groups were killed. Gaining a flawless first victory, every fighters fighting spirit, and killing intent burn like a fire in the night sky. Atop the mountain Sirius, Zenith, and the 20 elders stand there gobsmacked. Jaws hanging as far as the ground, and eyes open like watching their wife/husband being defiled in front of their own eyes. "Goddamn that was so invigorating to watch. My own bones are craving to get a piece of the action!" It wasn''t clear who had stated that, but what was clear the 27,500 remaining men and women stationed let out terrifyingly loud "AWOOOOOOOOOOOS" pronouncing the victory like as if it were their own. -------------------------------------------------------------- After assigning various tasks to his fighters such as "Take all uncontaminated food and water, collect all materials, money, weapons, armours throughout the camp. Behead the dead with remaining heads and bring them to me, dig a 30 meter deep bit and burn all the bodies. Dismantle all tents, wooden fences, and tower outposts. Essentially the jist of it was, collect all my mother fucking loot!" Arriving back to the site Sirius and the others were waiting at. Sin pronounces eagerly "Wolf King, we''re back not a single one of your cubs died. All men and women followed my instructions to the tee, and fought bravely like berserk animals!" Laughing heartily Sirius cannot help but say aloud "Congratulations my boy, If I hadn''t known you were a war crazed Commander yourself, now I do." After having Zenith take note of all the loot collected, Sirius pulls out various [Dimensional Bags] placing all the loot into them. Handing them out to each of the elders to keep precious care over. "Now we march towards Phoenix Cry City to announce our glorious welcome to our allies!" "AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" A battle cry full of pride and triumph follows suit their leaders commands. After 2 more hours of travel the 30,000 strong unit arrives outside the gates of Phoenix Cry City. Taking the lead under Sirius''s commands. Sin steps forward in front of the pack. Imbuing his voice with his Mana he shouts aloud "Allies of the Wolf God Clan, I Sin and my 30,000 strong unit come bearing gifts of our enemies severed heads!" The city gates are raised 10 minutes leader, as a multitude of beautiful women and handsome men are lead by an even more beautiful women that looks like a fairy queen. "Welcome to Phoenix Cry City home of the Phoenix Heart Clan. We appreciate your gifts, and I have been eagerly waiting your arrival. I saw the way how you organized your warriors into your majestic formation. Leading the assault to annihilate an enemy camp that had been giving us trouble, without so much as breaking a sweat. Welcome to our land Grand Warrior Sin!" A Wild Wife Appears Out Of Nowhere Being welcomed into Phoenix Cry City by the Phoenix Matriarch, Sin and company are brought to the base of operations. Upon Entering the Phoenix Matriarch asks politely. "May I have only the Grand Warrior follow me in. I have something I would like to discuss with him." A shrewd look flashes through Sirius''s eyes "You may Phoenix Matriarch, while you two are discussing matters. We will not laze about, if we have permission I would like climb the cities walls to get a better outlook of the enemies encampments." "Permission granted my husband" It was then Sin stops from entering the room with the Phoenix Matriarch. "What the fuck are you not telling me ''Wolf King Sirius" with irritation and un hidden anger in his voice. "Well you see my boy as previously stated while I was making my post war speech. Everyone Wolf God tribe member has a significant other half in the Phoenix Heart Clan. I can only assume after the Matriarch had seen your frightening display. She must''ve decided it was time to push things forward, compared to betrothing her daughter to you after you become the 10th generation Wolf King." Biting down on his teeth so hard, grinding sounds can be heard "And why the fuck did you think it was not a good idea to tell me ahead of time!?" "Well you see my boy, you were training and couldn''t be disturbed. And well in my old age to be quite honest with you I had forgotten all about it until we moved out of our territory to arrive here." Sirius smiles sheepishly as he recalls how he felt previously, being thrown into the same situation without any warning. Tching in frustration "Well whatever what is meant to be will eventually come. However, I do not have room for a second women in my heart!" The Matriarch stands in dead silence, face darkening as her voice sounds out with killing intent "However, I do not have room for a second women in my heart huh, who the fuck is this bitch that dares to steal my daughters man!?" Furrowing his brows, Sirius hurriedly steps forward trying his best to console his wife. "Honey dearest, right now we are in the middle of war preparations to protect your lands. Why don''t we save this discussion for another time, such as after the war?" Putting heavy emphasis into the last part of his sentence, while also swarming his wife with kisses and love. The Phoenix Matriarch is finally roped into Sirius''s act. "Fine things can wait until after the war, but not only myself. My daughter deserves a proper explanation!" Sighing in relief, unknown to Sirius. His back had already been coated in a thick layer of cold sweat. It was then Zenith sounds out mockingly from behind "Oh my great Wolf King, I wasn''t aware of the grand powers pussy has in controlling a man!" Followed by provocative whistles from all the other men in the troop. The already high morale boosts up another level, the pressure that was pushing down on everyone''s shoulders. Had cleansed itself off of them, knowing their war leaders still have time to crack jokes. With a face as black as the bottom of a pot, Sirius clenches his fists looking towards sin with unbridled killing intent "Goddamn brat, look at what you fucking stirred up. Shouldn''t you know a women''s wrath is scarier than facing a Demon Lord on the battlefields by now!?" ------------------------------------------------------------ Walking into the room with the Phoenix Matriarch, Sin feels a refreshing feeling wash over his body. Although as a man not easily exhausted through fights. Whatever tiredness that had been built up from the previous raid, completely vanished bringing Sin back up to his peak instantly. "This is the effects of the Body Cleansing Array I have laid foundations for in this room. Pretty invigorating isn''t it Grand Warrior Sin?" Agreeing with appreciation for the effects "Indeed it is invigorating, it is also a pretty impressive array. If I had such one myself, I would be able keep all my fighters at peak conditions." "Well I think we can do something about that" Shuffling through her desks drawers, the Matriarch hands over a stack of books. Receiving the books in good will and looking at them, Sin thanks the Phoenix Matriarch profusely. "This is a very expensive gift to have been given for only meeting the first time. Nonetheless, thank you Matriarch, I will return the favour in the near future" Smiling thoughtfully at Sin "There is no need for such manners. You can simply call me Kirala It would make things easier than Matriarch this, Matriarch that." "Thank you Kirala, while I mean no disrespect I would also like to be with the fighters getting a good idea of our enemies layout. What is it that you would like to discuss with me?" Thinking for multiple minutes on how to answer. Kirala finally makes her decision firm. "You are not from this world are you? Otherwise you wouldn''t have reacted the way you did, about the traditions of our people." Nodding lightly "Indeed you are correct, I am not a native to this world. The world I come from is vastly different compared to here. Love is a natural thing there, with the odd occasions where it is forced between high ranking families."The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. Staring intently into Sins eyes "Can I assume properly, that despite the distance of our 2 worlds. That you are a man who honours his love to his women?" "That is correct Kirala, I do not mean any form of disrespect. My loved one before I was brought into this world, was assassinated by a foreign country that was getting revenge on me, for taking the head of their Prime Minister. While I had found no proof before being sent here, my instincts are hardly off the beat and trail." Feeling his chest lovingly "This necklace, Sabrina had bought for me as a token of our friendship 15 years ago. I have worn this around my neck since that day on. Inside is a picture of her smiling face, if it weren''t for that. I wouldn''t be the man I am today, nor would I be the 10th generation Wolf King." Walking to the front of Kirala, kowtowing banging his head multiple times on the ground. "As the 10th generation Wolf King, you and your daughter have my humblest apologies. I am the type of man who only has room for one women. I would be disrespecting Sabrina, and your daughter If i were to play with the neighbour next door." With confusion wrapping around Kiralas head because of the used Idiom. But also somewhat understanding, Kirala speaks up "You may rise Sin, I as my daughter''s mother will respect your wishes. However, since you come from a world with vastly different views as us. I will leave it up to the two of you young''uns to decide the course of action." The back door of the room slaps open, as a young hot blooded women in her middle teenage years barges into the room. "How dare you disrespect me by saying all this bullshit nonsense. Your an alien into this world, and you dare to say you only have room for one women in your heart? Fucking bullshit you do! This is our world, not your fucking world you are in! You are my husband and that''s final!" Kirala rising from her chair in clear anger. Slaps her daughter across the face yelling aloud "Rein take Merala back to the elders residence immediately!" "Yes Matriarch!" An answer is heard from the entrance, as Rein walks in grabbing Merala by the thighs and lifting her up over his shoulders. "My apologizes Grand Warrior Sin, and Matriarch. After hearing the arrival of the Wolf God Clans men, Merala snuck off to get a peak of what her husband looks like." As Rein leaves the room with Merala sprawled behind his shoulders, loud shouts of humiliation and frustration are heard "You mother fucking pussy pathetic excuse! Your cock can''t even handle 2 women, and you dare call yourself a man!? Your nothing but a pathetic little boy with a sob story!" Sighing to herself as a look of shame appears on Kiralas face, "I apologize on behalf of my daughter, to her our customs are to be carried word for word with utmost sincerity. But please forgive her, Merala isn''t a bad girl, she just has a lot grievance with Sirius, and took it out on you because of the marriage aspect." "While Sirius is the Wolf King of the Wolf God Clan. He did not neglect his duties as a father over these years. He had in secret disguised himself as Rein on multiple occasions. To come and see Merala, teach her, train her, take her out to explore. Sirius is a wonderful father and a husband. But because we could never tell Merala the truth. She has built up a grudge towards all men, who do not respect the customs related to marriage." Nodding his head in clear understanding. "Fathers usually get the shit end of the stick, but truly to a father. There is nothing more important in the world than his little girl, no matter how much of a bad ass you are, a mans daughter makes their father tame over time." Laughing heartily Kirala asks knowingly "You certainly do speak as if you are a father yourself?" "I am indeed a father, but it is not by blood. But in my world, and I am sure in this world as well, family is not proven just by blood running through each other." A shocked expression appears on Kiralas face followed by regretfully sighing "Truly what a shame, you would have been the perfect husband for Merala. Whatever it may be, I hope that you can at least give me your word. I will not force the marriage, but you MUST at all times protect my daughter no matter what! She is my only daughter, and I must assure you. If anything were to happen to her within your presence, I will chop off your cock and balls and shove them down your throat myself." Gulping in sudden fear of the normally peaceful woman Kirala is. "Well would you look at the time already, I gotta go back to Sirius and the other fighters to scope out the enemy encampments!" Running out of the room like a dog, who had just been stepped on Sin rushes back to Sirius and the others. -------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sirius, Zenith how does the enemies encampments look like? Has their been any progress figuring out the number of enemies we face?" Sin states revealing the air of a Commander, who has been through many war situations personally. "Things are looking to be quite a problem, there are over 75,000 bandits from all the nearby powers. And also over a 30,000 strong unit of Beast Men and Beast Women alike." Zenith states while handing over a clipboard with various other information. Receiving the clipboard, and taking over a hour to thoroughly digest all the information. Sin looks up with a face of uncertainty for the first time since entering the Desolate Kingdoms. "I must say with the averages here between our fighters, and the Beast Men, Beast Women. I must say I do not have 100% certainty that I can prevent unnecessary blood shed to our fighters." Sirius pats Sin on the shoulder from behind "My boy you do not have to worry, all our fighters that have gathered are veterans. The thought of dying on the battlefield does not weaken them, instead it empowers them to take out as many enemies as possible. One more enemy killed, is one less enemy to kill my family. Is the motto I have drilled into everyone. Nobody present has the thoughts of walking away from this scot-free." "And you as the 10th generation Wolf King, you cannot let such distracting thoughts provoke your mind. A commander with a clouded mind, is no better than not have a commander at all. Besides have some faith in your training, and our soldiers. You should hear how the 27,500 fighters that remained behind, are expressing their guilt in not participating in such a spectacular operation you orchestrated. Every last one of them respects you, and will willingly listen to your orders and fight to the death for you. However, you must know this now. Don''t you dare die and let these brave fighters lives go to waste, dying before you kill all the enemies present, will only be disrespect to them in the afterlife!" Clearing his mind, and shutting his humanity down. Sins eyes regain their determination "Thank you for your words Sirius. I will not make another such hiccup again." Laughing aloud "Very good my boy, just know not every fight can be won without sacrifice." Shocked by Sirius''s words, because of how similar they were to what Commander Glaze had always said. Sins resolve is completely flared up, willing to go to the ends of this world to slaughter all the enemies. Avenging those that may die, who place their precious life in his hands. Midnight Reaper Second Personality Awakens Later that night Sin is decked in full black from head to toe. Like the grim reaper with his scythes cutting the rope with your name on it. Sin leaves Phoenix Cry City at midnight, rushing into the pitch blackness. With nothing except for the slight bit of light provided by the moon high above in the sky. Back on Earth, before Sin had become the team leader of the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team. When fighting wars, and opponents with overwhelming numbers compared to his Mercenary Team. Sin would go out solo after midnight, ''trimming the fat'' Commander Glaze use to love calling his operations ''Moonlight Walks In The Park'' Sin had dropped out of school in grade 9, so that way he could help carry his families financial burdens. A high ranking assassin from the specialized Midnight Assassin Squad. Saw the hidden potential hiding within the young Sin at the time. Recruiting Sin into their training camp, he had provided marvelous results that made the upper echelons giddy in joy. They would be able to nurture their 7th Reaper, the highest ranking an assassin in the Midnight team could achieve. Within 3 years Sin had earned his title of Reaper, as well as becoming the most famed assassin for clearing every single hit he was hired for in, and out of the organization. He had gained the honours of having ''Midnight'' before his title of Reaper. The first out of all 150,000 members new and old. As Sin had later become the Blood Dragon Mercenary Teams Leader, Commander Glaze had been given a report from the Midnight Organization on Sins background and abilities. After proving himself and performing many solo operations, overcoming numbers as a single man with midnight as his guise. During those ''Moonlight walks in the park'' Sin use to wear his famous full black suit Moonlight Crossing that was tailored to fit him, providing all the room and space needed so clothing would not impede him. Going off his memory, Sin travels 1 hour on foot to the nearest Beast Man encampment. Using a frugal amount of his Mana to scan over the whole came. Sin scopes out there are 100 bandits, and 50 Beast Men and Beast Women within the camp. Strolling right into the camp as if it were his own back yard. Opening his inventory, taking 5 throwing knives out of it. Right as 5 bandits wake up, going to the end of the encampment for a midnight piss. Sin throws out all 5 throwing knives in separate directions, each with a successful "Puchi!" Just as planned, the bandits were far away enough from the encampment. By the time their bodies had hit the ground, their bodies would not awaken the other sleeping bandits in the camp. After spending 6 minutes weaving in and out of tents, slitting the throats of all the sleeping bandits. Sin walks towards to where the clean water source is held, taking out a vial from his inventory and pouring it into the water. Sin then jumps into the trees foliage above him, leaping across the various branches homing in onto his targeted main tent. Within the tent is the sleeping Beast Man Leader with his right hand held tightly onto the handle of his Bastard Sword. Approaching the camp nonchalantly, Sin throws himself to the ground just outside of the tent where the leader is sleeping. Ever since Sins physique has increased at a monstrous pace. Sin has gained complete control over his body, whenever he walks it is noiseless, leaving behind zero traces of foot prints in mud and grass. Lining his body up with the sleeping enemy. Sin strikes out with unprecedented speed. With one hand covering the Beast Mans mouth, and his other hand grabbing the hand tightly clenched onto the Great Sword. Sin snaps the wrist in half speedily, as both hands quickly grab onto the Beast Mans neck twisting with a sharp "KRUCK!" The Beast Man is sent into an eternal sleep. Following the process multiple times, to finish the other 49 Beast Men and Beast Women off. Sin spends a total of 35 minutes to clear out the whole encampment. Going back to the already pre-poisoned water source. Sin puts it into his inventory as he makes his way forward to the next encampment. After clearing out a total of 26 encampments, Sin finally arrives at an encampment with a more challenging setup. A sadistic smiles creeps its way onto his face "Finally a challenge I might be able to break a sweat over!" Zooming through the encampment like all the others thus far, Sin clears out all the weak and unsuspecting bandits. Taking 30 minutes this time to properly clear out 538 of them in total. Sin moves onto the Beast Men and the Beast women. Finally after another 30 minutes and wiping out 250 Beast Men and Beast Women alike. Sin approaches the water source of this encampment, like all the previous times poisoning its clean water source.Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! A sick and twisted voice sounds out from behind "Are you the one who has been causing trouble for my men, and slaves this whole night?" "Who me, causing trouble? I think you have it wrong, I have been slaughtering all of your men and slaves!" Staring back at his opponent, Sin finally realizes this isn''t the average run of the mill Beast Man. Noticing the two 9 inch long horns sprouting out from where the mans temples should be, and the spread open wings from his shoulder blades. Sin says with excitement in his voice "So a Demon has made his sorry ass over huh?" Snickering at the humans clear ridicule towards himself, the Demon shouts out "Surround this mother fucker boys!" After the Demons order, a group of 4,000 bandits as well as 2,000 Beast Men and Beast Women alike surround Sin like a hungry pack of wolves. "Prrrrhew" Whistling in delight, Sin stands up cracking the bones in his body. "Finally I have been holding back this raging beast for so long. Please don''t disappoint me ladies and gentlemen!" Closing his eyes, Sins aura begins changing. The surrounding temperature already at 0 degrees, drops to an extremely bone chilling temperature. Opening his eyes, the normal crystal clear blue eyes, become a haunting black abyss with a red hue surrounding them. Launching himself forward at Demon in front of him. Sin slashes his sword down on the Demons great sword. The Demons arms turn completely numb, circling to the demons back. Sin twists his blade with the sharp edge facing upwards. Swinging upwards Sin severs the Demons right arm, then followed up by a swallow kick launching the Demon 30 meters through the air. "CRACK!" The Great Sword falls, leaving spider web cracks on the ground beneath it. With each step Sin takes forward towards the Demon, his aura changes becoming increasingly colder and crueler. Eventually at one point, the Demon could swear he heard someone, or something violently pushing against chained up fences. It was then at that point, the Demon heard a monstrous roar erupt from within Sins body. Cleaving his Sword once again, Sin cuts the Demons remaining arm off without any remorse. The Demon falls to the ground, as blood is flowing out of the places his arms once had been. Grabbing the Demon by the hair and lifting his head to mouth level. "I will be taking this off of your shoulders" Sin slashes his hand across the Demons throat, severing his head. As blood gushes out like fruit gushers, covering sins face in blood. Licking the blood off of his lower lip, stimulating the raging beast roaring within his body more. A pitch black flame erupts covering Sins body like a man of fire. Looking towards the crowd of 6,000 enemies, Sin says cockily with a malicious voice not belonging to him "I have just slaughtered your leader, if the next leader in line steps forward with all your men and kneels in front of me. I will spare your pathetic lives." An enraged voice sounds in the crowd "Kill that cocky mother fucker!" Licking the blood off of his Sword, Sin dashes into the crowd "That was the wrong answer!" Weaving in and out of poorly trained bandits, tens of heads fly through the air followed by showers of blood. Zoning in onto the the person who riled up the crowd. It was a 7 foot tall Beast Man, Sin dashes forward grabbing the Beast Man by his waist, and right shoulder. With monstrous strength Sin rips the man in half, throwing both halves of their leader towards the Bandits and other Beast Men and Beast Women. A shrill scream of agony and sheer terror sounds out. That was of course until Sin stomps down on the Beast Mans head, bursting like a watermelon falling from a height of 300 meters, the outcome was imaginable and fear inspiring to the crowd. It was then the Bandits who were starting to waver, kneel on the ground pleading for their lives. "Please spar-" Their pleas were cut short as Sin decapitates everyone who had just knelled. "You had your chance, there are no second chances in a world of power!" Screams of despair, and agony ring out throughout the encampment. Like a carefully instructed symphony created by Sin himself. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 hours later at Phoenix Cry City, panic shoots through the camp followed by several anxious shouts. "Where did Grand Warrior Sin disappear to?" "Where is my goddamn 10th Generation Wolf King!?" This was shouted out by Sirius himself The guards at the gate after keeping watch, notice a warrior stumbling towards their city. "Hey everyone, there is a man soaked in a river of blood, and a black flame surrounding is approaching our city with malicious intent." "Wait you fools don''t attack, I recognize the mans face. That''s Grand Warrior Sin approaching the city!" Before anyone else could answer and go receive Sin with a pile of questions. A figure dashed out of the city with breakneck speed and tears welling in her eyes. Embracing Sin in a tender hug, more tears burst out as she weeps sorrowfully. "Husband what if something had happened to you, I was so worri-" Before the figure could finish her sentence. Sin had reached out grabbing Merala by the neck, raising her above his body and clenching his hand, almost to the point of crushing her wind pipe. Sins hands suddenly lose strength letting go of Merala by the neck, as she falls to the ground clenching her throat gasping for Shocked with fear and uncertainty within her eyes. Looking up at the man, Merala is shocked by the jet black abyss eyes, and the crimson red colour surrounding them. The black flames that were once encasing sin within disperse. Sins body falls powerlessly to the ground unconscious. It was then Sirius appears before Merala barking out harshly. "Stop standing there like a statue and go get your mother goddamn it!" Feeling Sins pulse, Sirius is shocked by the feeble and weak pulses of life. "Just where the fuck did you disappear and do last night!?" The King And The Horse Having sent Merala out to get Kirala, Sirius picks up Sins unconscious body. Feeling an unimaginably searing heat from his body. Sirius struggles to keep hold of Sins body, while dealing with the sensation of his hands being burnt to a crisp. "You''re a monster amongst monsters my boy, I don''t know what you did, nor do I care. All that I care about is you survive through this. No one else will be able to hold the fort, once my life comes to an end." Kirala arrives on the scene huffing and puffing, oozing sweat from a long distance, high speed mad dash. "Give me Grand Warrior Sin now. I will take him to the clan''s sanctuary to stabilize his condition." Passing Sins unconscious body off to his wife. Sirius says in a begging tone "Please take care of him, if he dies the Wolf God Clan may fail to continue existing." "Your coming with me anyways husband, I believe I am due an explanation. I''m sure you were eventually going to tell me of your lifes force continued weakening?" Kirala asks clearly irked staring daggers with locked eyes on Sirius. "Hon-" "At tat tat, no excuses we will properly discuss this after I have stabilized Sins condition." Walking head down, following behind Kirala. Sirius kicks all the rocks along the road in anger. "Goddamn it, how did I get tasked dealing with such a frightening wife!" 30 minutes pass in the blink of an eye, rushing to the back mountains of Phoenix Cry City. Pushing her palm into an alcove In the rocks, an entrance shows itself with stone steps delving deeper into the mountain. "What are you waiting for hubby, let''s get a move on unless you no longer care about ''your boy''" Kirala states angrily. "Well..... Honey you see the thing is, even though our clans are so closely connected. This is your Phoenix Heart Clans, Sacred Lands. I would be trespassing, and breaking a multitude of grave rules." "Rules schmules, does it look like I give two fucks about them right now?" "Not exactly" Sirius answers disheartened. "Well, get your crippled old ass moving then!" Kirala yells back as she makes her way into the clans Sacred Lands. Sighing in discontentment, Sirius stares up into the sky. "Why did you give me such a crazy bitch to deal with father!?" Punching the mountain before walking down the stone steps. Kiralas mocking voice echoes upwards "Throwing a hissy fit isn''t exactly helping you reach the Sacred Lands now is it?" "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr" Sirius growls quietly in anger "I heard that old fuck!" Angelic laughter filled with lovingly mocking echoes out. Finally after another 15 minutes, and behaving himself. Sirius and Kirala arrive at the clans'' Sacred Land. Bringing Sins body onto the Altar, muttering many incantations as well as forming multiple layered hand incantations. Sirius is in shock realizing what Kirala plans to do. Raising his voice with worry, and heart tearing pain Sirius yells out "Honey you mustn''t so easily use your clans forbidden [Heart Peering Eyes]" With each use of [Heart Peering Eyes] the Phoenix Matriarch loses 150 years of life, for peering into another''s heart. Finding the root of all ailments without failure. With a visibly weakened voice Kirala says to Sirius. "Listen here you old mutt, I don''t need to be lectured by you. I on the other hand am only a 110 years old. Unlike you, I don''t need others worrying about me dropping dead at any given second!" "Now then, let''s see what has caused so much damage to you." Placing her right hand over top Sins heart, Kirala guides her Mana to run throughout his body. Upon reaching the heart, Kiralas Mana flows into it without disturbance, after entering Sins heart Kirala is given a fright from what she had glanced upon. "Tsk tsk tsk. It''s not nice to be spying on others girly." A mocking vicious voice is heard, as a doppelganger of Sin appears. Smiling cruelly at Kirala "For prying eyes that are not meant to see this, the price is your life." Raging Black Flames burst out of Sins unconscious body, covering Kirala with the will to incinerate her into nothingness. Springing into action, Sirius suppresses the Black Flames burning around Kiralas protective Mana. Coughing up mouthfuls of blood and organs, multiple strands of withering white hair falls to the ground. Kirala weakly, but affectionately says "Thank you my husband." In fright of what just happened. Sirius asks alarmed for Kiralas health "Just what happened in the short 10 seconds you were investigating Sins heart?" Recalling the blood chilling events that just happened, as well as the monstrous entity she had seen. Cold sweat like a torrential downpour flows from Kirala. "Within Sins heart is hiding a vast amount of Primordial Chaos. Within that Primordial Chaos, are two huge ancient gates closed with chains." "While I tried to investigate, I happened to see Sins body hovering above water radiating Black Flames. Similar to the ones that had almost killed me, and reported by the guards." "It was then Sins eyes flashed open, pitch black and a crimson red hue radiating within. A cold and malicious voice that does not belong to Sin, nearly dispersed my soul afterwards. After that in defense I forcefully cancelled my [Heart Peering Eye] otherwise, my soul would''ve been crushed leaving my body as an empty husk." Shocked beyond belief, Sirius disbelievingly asks "Are you sure? Sin is not the kind of man to attack his allies with the intent to kill." Shaking her head, "That was not Sin. It would seem as though a ''separate'' personality had control over his body inside of that realm." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Within the realm inside of Sins heart. Upon waking up and seeing the Black Flames surrounding his body. Sin curses in anger "Son of a bitch!" It was then a mocking sound comes from behind him. "Yo, onii-san it has been a long time since you paid little ol'' me a visit. What''s with the cold shoulder shit man, aren''t we supposed to be one and the same?" "I mean come on, the last time you dropped in here was 6 years ago. And at that time you slit my fucking throat and stomped my head to pieces. That ain''t exactly how you show love to family is it?" Barking in overwhelming ferocity "Would you just shut the fuck up already!?" Then a frightened girls voice innocently sounds out "Onii-chan how can you be so mean to me like that? It''s been 6 years, I''ve truly missed you during our time apart." Gnashing his teeth, Sin summons both Sword and Saber, stabbing both weapons into the water. activating [Black Flame Array] and [Flowing Light Array] instantly. Before both could successfully be casted. A pure white hand like creamy jade clenches Sin by the throat, raising him high off the water below. "Now now, don''t be so feisty here pardner. In case you have forgotten this is my house! Those that wish to wreck it, better be ready to be wrecked in turn."You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. Tightening his hand around Sins throat, the figure with his free hand whales a multitude of blows into his opponents defenseless body. After 10 minutes of satisfyingly using Sin as a punching bag. The hand let''s go dropping Sin from above. Before his body lands, a swallow kick lands on his face. Sending Sin flying hundreds of meters, leaving two great big waves parting as if welcoming Poseidon. "Come on mother fucker! For 6 long years you''ve been the king, and I have been the horse. You cannot tell me you''ve forgotten about little ol Midnight Reaper, cooped up in this damnable bird cage for years." As he lazily points his thumb behind himself, in the direction towards the towering shackled gates. "Ya know, all those times you visited those therapists. Didn''t you just want to rip their throats apart, for saying something wrong is going on up in your house? I mean come on man, that''s your partner in crime they''re talking about!" Hysterical laughter sounds out, followed by a fist full of anger rams itself into Sins chest "KERCHAK!" Sounds of shattering bone emit, as Sin is launched flying through the air from the force of the blow. Using the water beneath as a launch pad, doppelganger Sin appears behind the original. Both hands clenched together, acting like a hammer smashing into Sins back. Sending the man spiraling downwards into the water below, a giant 50 meter tall wave erupts. The might of the blow imaginable, as the damage it would cause the body. "You said shit for dick, as you took the prescribed medication trying to erase me from existence. After all I guess family really can kill each other huh!?" Grabbing Sins body from underneath the water by the foot. The doppelganger swings Sins body around like a rag doll, slamming into the water creating several 70+ meter waves. "After all it was me who was there for you in your darkest times. When you got recruited into the Midnight Organization, becoming the highest ranked assassin." Grabbing the Sword floating amidst the rumbling waves and slashing deeply into Sins body, followed by wails of pain. "It was me who had been beside you, through thick and thin. Through life and death, I helped you earn all that money to provide for your family. When your younger sister died, who was it that stopped your mind from shattering into pieces!?" Slashing, chopping, cutting, and stabbing Sin in multiple combinations. "Who was it that kept you from dying, all those times you walked along the string of life and death. IT WAS ME GODDAMMIT!" Sword Qi gathers igniting the Sword, becoming the brilliant blazing sun. Rising as it welcomes the dark cold world to the warmth it provides. "Don''t you remember all the times, both of us would recite [Moonlight Walks In The Park]" [Lately been feelin Like a demons on my back Heart turned black like the abyss Reminisce times of love Crossed my heart and hope to die Frost encases my heart Lost souls wander the streets Hollow shell is all that''s left Followed the inner darkness My persona switched masks Midnight came out Reaper of the night Snuffing out the last light Your life within sight Became the moonlight walks in the park Where dark hearts roam.] (1) "That was the very damn poetry, both of us would recite to hype ourselves up. After all it was the two of us, against hundreds, and thousands of enemies back in those days! Both of us could have easily disappeared from this world. Yet we protected each others lives. And this is the mother fucking treatment I get!?" Slashing down the miniature sun in crazed rage. Just as it was about to cut down, and sever Sin completely in half. A bloody mangled mess of an arm, stretched out clasping the blade between his thumb, index, and middle fingers. "You are right, through all those times. You were always standing by my side. When one of us became too injured or exhausted, the other would switch positions as one of us recovered." "We were an unbeatable duo, If it wasn''t for you appearing in my dreams improving the assassination techniques taught to me. I never would have improved so fast, and become the number one Assassin feared by all in the world." Looking into the eyes of Midnight Reaper, without anymore hate, and no longer trying to shut the man out. "I now realize I was in the wrong, It is just as you had said. If it weren''t for you, my mind would have shattered back then. My body reactivated in self-defense, creating you. And then unknowingly we became partners, and brothers in arms on the battlefields. During our [Moonlight walks in the park] both of us recited our poetry. As men we can never wear our emotions on our sleeves, otherwise we would be mocked. However, as you and me are two people sharing one body. There is no shame in it, that we did not want each other to die. Because if I was irresponsible, biting off more than I could chew. You would die with me!" Snapping the Sword in half with an unknown strength flowing through his body, Sin launches a strike of his own. Ripping through Reapers heart, with his hand exiting through his chest. Wrapping his arms around Reaper, hugging the man tightly. "I will no longer disown you, you are me, and I am you. If it weren''t for you, I never would have become the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team Leader. I wouldn''t have gained such good brothers or sisters in arms, I never would have been given the strength to survive those times, I walked across the string of life and death." Looking Sin in the eyes, a smile devoid of hatred and pent up toxic emotions is worn across Reapers face. "That''s my good brother, just like those old times. Let me give you one important tip as your brother. Before I disappear and become apart of you for good." "Sabrina did not truly die!" First it was disbelief, happiness, then it transformed into tears of relief. As Sin is about to open his mouth asking how Midnight Reaper had known. Reaper disappears into millions of particles of light, as if the heart in the middle of a storm. The millions of particles of light are absorbed into Sins body. The chains surrounding the massive gates unshackled, and a vast amount of Primordial Chaos flows into Sins body, which will play a much bigger role later down the line of Sins rise to power to defend earth. And becoming a "TRUE" Wolf King. Smiling to himself, with words meeting an empty world of water. Two vast gates now unchained, and freely flowing Primordial Chaos. "Thank you brother, even through all these years I had locked you up. All my negative emotions, my pain, hatred and toxicity built up in my body. You had still managed to convert them into something as a gift. Waiting for the day when I would finally accept you as a part of myself, truly thank you!" Raising his hand up to his head, "You''re apart of me regardless of having a physical body or not inside my heart''s space. We will forever fight our future battles, like the good old times back on Earth. We will create another legend in [Desolate Kingdom] and beyond. Putting the world into shivering fear, there will be no one else who can compare to us!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- After Sin had re-accepted the Midnight Reaper as a true part of himself. Outside of the heart realm, 1 full day had passed. Stunning both Sirius and Kirala on many instances, Sins aura would erupt out of control. Thankfully they had the protection of the Sacred Land below, without it the demonic aura that would occasionally burst out. Would have been a beacon in the dark world, for Demons curiosity to take a peek. While Sin had been suppressed by the Midnight Reaper part of him, in and out of having his ass handed to him, and weakly fighting back. If Sin were truly killed in his hearts world, before he had accepted Midnight Reaper as a part of himself again. He truly would have died right then and there. After both men had accepted each other, a terrifying Black-White flame had burst from Sins body like a pinata full of candy. During the initial fears of Kirala and Sirius, after digesting the shocking news she had provided to her husband. The Black-White flame had harmlessly wrapped itself around Sin, forming a beating Black-White cocoon. After the Cocoon had formed shape, terrifyingly loud "BANGS" and "CRASHES" was heard emitting from Sins body. The archaic gates that had been unchained, and the following Primordial Chaos that transformed Sin both inside and outside of the heart world. After opening his eyes, a series of logs await his vision. Checking the harvest of of logs before him, Sin is stunned by what they have in store for him. [Congratulations! You have passed the trial Know Thy Self. Accepting the darkness inside of you, as a true being apart of you. Both have fused becoming one entity.

"Thank you for all these gifts you have left me brother, we will slaughter all enemies in our path together. Carving bloody Midnight legends in this world!" As if to answer Sins oath, both Merala and Sirius as witnesses to the oath. A Black-White masked incorporeal image of Midnight Reaper appears behind Sins back. Radiating a killing intent so intense, both Merala and Sirius are forced upon their knees. Before returning to Sins body, a corporeal voice carried by the wind current brought up by the killing intent, floats into Sirius'' and Meralas ears. "Protect my brother well, or your heads will roll!" Unknowingly both Merala and Sirius trace a finger to their throats. Looking in utter disbelief at their fingers, traces of fresh blood cover their fingers. Unknowingly, their throats had a fresh cut oozing blood, as truth to the voice they thought was just their imagination. A Little Girl Like You Shouldnt Be Playing With Fire After digesting the notification logs, Sin takes a good look of his surroundings. What attracted his attention was the mass of [Destruction] aura surrounding him. Finally taking in the surroundings, a Black-White flame shrouds his body, while a Destructive energy is constantly flowing in and out of his body. Further strengthening his already monstrous body, that would put enemies with Professions in [Desolate Kingdom] to shame. Of course the changes are not immediately noticeable, but the continuous aspect of constantly strengthening is a world defying boon. It was then Sin felt a hand grasp onto his shoulders. Within the inside world of the cocoon, no one else should be present but him. Instantly being put on guard just as Sin was about to unsheathe his newly acquired [Soul Weapons] a mocking voice sounds out. "Brother, I thought we were behind this shit. Of course, if you still feel like your in the mood for another ass whipping, I don''t mind obliging. Keyahahahahaha!" Smiling in relief to himself "Alright brother, I think you had tortured the bloody hell out of me long enough in there." "Well of course, you were a massive douchebag locking little ol'' me up in that bird cage. Do you know how unbearable it was? We use to share eyesight you fucker! Do you know how much suffering it was, not being able to stare at a women''s ass for 6 years straight!?" "Okay okay settle down you horn dog. Maybe if your lucky, we can find you a fellow corporeal butt buddy to bunk with." "Well isn''t that just fucking fantastic! Since we are one entity and all, whatever happens to me you will also feel it. I''m sure you wouldn''t like it being in the middle of a fight, and then have the soul shock of your asshole being split open by another cock. Keyahahahahaha!" A look of gravity appears on Sins face "Your a twisted mother fucker you know that!?" "Well, thank you for the compliment." Shaking his head to himself "Alright it''s about time we rip our way out of here." Closing his eyes and dispersing his Mana to surround the cocoons inner world. After looking through the feed back brought to him by his Mana. Sin imbues his Sword with 250 points of Mana, viewing the structure of the cocoon and it''s weak point on the mental map. Slashing down severing the energy source within the cocoon, cracks begin to spread like multiple spider webs. Then eventually shattering like glass, turning into multiple specks of light. After hearing shocked gasps, Sin was then punched brutally in the gut. "You mother fucker! You had this old man half worried to death, do you know how terrifying it is worrying that your successor is about to die!?" Breathing in multiple deep breaths of air, after being ambushed by Sirius, Sin had the wind knocked out of him. It was then Sirius started howling like a injured wolf "Goddamn what the fuck is your body made of? It felt like I just punched a city wall made out of high grade titanium!" Kirala laughs in disdain at her husband "Well would you look at that you gray haired mutt. It seems like you just bit off more than you can chew." Frantically blowing air on his red knuckles Sirius finally settles down. "Well whatever, I am ecstatic that you''re back in the world of the living my boy! However, can you explain to us why the hell your body was emitting Demonic aura!?" Thinking to himself for multiple seconds, It was then Sin heard a light bulb go off in his mind. "Actually to be honest, I think it would be easier to show than it is to explain." Raising his hand up to his face, Black-White flames transform until they eventually turn into the [Midnight Reaper Mask] covering Sins face. Then the corporeal image of Midnight Reaper, appears intertwining with the dense [Midnight Glory Sacred Flame] enshrouding Sins body. With the mask covering his face, Sins hair grows long like a women''s going all the way down to his ass. Black in colour, with White coloured streaks throughout his hair. Sins left eye turns pitch black, while his right eye turns jade white. The armour equipped on his body begins undergoing a massive evolution. Turning into a single piece Black-White flame designed full body armour. His Sword and Saber both radiate a White and Black coloured flame respectively. "The Demonic Aura that was bursting out of my body. That is thanks to my brother behind me." Lazily pointing his thumb behind him. Midnight Reapers corporeal voice transfers into Sirius''s and Kiralas ears "My warning still exists, I know you the old wolf is about to die. However, the young phoenix here is still in her prime and holds unimaginably deep powers. While you may be my brother''s allies, you are nothing more than dead people to me if you fail to protect his life well." Shocked expressions appear on Sirius''s and Kiralas faces. Kirala nods her head in understanding "Well that explains that. However, why is it that you feel like a Demon Lord standing in front of me right now? Just standing 5 feet away from you, I feel like a prehistoric beast has chosen to pray on me." Looking Kirala deep in the eyes. "I don''t have a proper answer to give you. But I do know this power has a mind of its own, while I seem like i''m completely in control. It is quite the opposite, just being in this state. A sickening amount of killing intent, and blood thirst makes it hard for me to keep a clear mind. However, I am the king here, as long as I am in control, this power will be used to protect those that rely on me!" A beautiful smile like a garden full of blooming flowers in summer appears on Kiralas face. "Grand Warrior Sin, I believe in your words. In the short time I have known you, I have come to believe your a man of great respect. You''re also a person who cherishes the lives of his people and allies alike. I know with full certainty, this power of yours will not be used to kill, but to protect the lives of those who have faith in you as their Wolf King and ally." Thanking Kirala for her trust. Sin removes the Midnight Reaper Mask, the moment he did so the Midnight Glory Sacred Flame had decreased significantly in pressure. The moment he deactivated his Sacred Flame, his battle armour reverted back to the normal [Basic Armor Set] he had been given when entering the [Desolate Kingdom] Looking both Kirala and then Sirius in the eyes. Sin then says what his next motive is. "Now that show and tell is over, I remember all the events of last night before losing consciousness. I know I have frightened many, including our clans fighters. As well as the Phoenix Heart Clan members. I believe i owe everyone an explanation, and good news to raise morale." Smiling mysteriously, Sin walks forward to Kirala and Sirius. Place each of his hands on their shoulders. Sin uses his remaining 900 points of Mana, picturing the middle of Phoenix Cry Cities plaza. Sin, Kirala, and Sirius disappear from the Sacred Land, arriving in the middle of the plaza. Bringing up a great number of gasps in surprise. Sirius in excitement says out loud "Goddamn that was like the [Advanced Teleport] of a Grand Master Mage, but 10x more powerful!" Raising his voice to tell over all the hustle and bustle of the Plaza area. "Ladies and Gentlemen may I have your attention please! I Sin of the Wolf God Clan have good news for all of you." "Two days ago at midnight, I snuck out of Phoenix Cry City. Wearing all black clothing I raided multiple Beast Men camps by myself. In one night, I wiped out 26 enemy encampments. I killed well over 9,000 bandits, 6,450 Beast Men and 1 Demon!" "As all of you know, yesterday I came back drenched in the blood of my enemies. And truthfully, my killing intent ''awoke'' a different side of me all together. However, that''s not the point I am making. 15,451 enemies lay dead at my hands alone, what does that mean you all may ask? Less death among our family, friends, loved ones, sons and daughters. Overwhelming numbers is nothing in front of absolute power!" Opening up his inventory, Sin pulls out the head of the Demon, numerous Beast Men and Beast Women leaders heads. "This is my proof to all of you. I am a man who values the lives of my people and allies. If you value the lives of your fellow people and allies. Each enemy head you bring back, Is one less enemy to kill your family!"Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators! By the end of Sin displaying his trophies, the crowd had been chanting in fervor "Grand Warrior Sin is the Reaper in the night!" After raising the morale of all the soldiers, and normal civilians Sin retires to his room for the night. -------------------------------------------- [NSFW content ahead] Peacefully sitting on his bed cross-legged, mentally training himself how he would hand various situations in fights and assassination attempts. Sin is disturbed by loud "clangs" "huff huff huff huff" within his mind. Peering into his own Mind Space to check on Midnight Reaper. Sin is utterly shocked to see a table full of food and drinks had appeared out of nowhere. As well as Midnight Reaper acting like a starved animal. Thinking about it for a second, fear surfaces on Sins face "No way he only gets like this when he smells female pheromones." A few seconds later knocking is heard on the door. Followed by a loud crazed shout "PUSSY HAS ARRIVED!" Sighing in shame to himself, Sin politely answers "Please come in." After the door is opened, Merala walks in with nothing but a chef apron covering her "holy lands" And a silver saucer full of different meats, fruits, breads, vegetable dishes and various fruit spirit drinks. "AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Midnight Reaper bellows as he tears into the various plates of food. Shock followed by a slight blush appears on Sins face. Then Merala playfully laughs aloud. "Your face is looking a little red husband, do you have a fever by chance?" Bending over to rest the back of her hand on Sins forehead, Merala then pulls it back "well that''s weird, your all red but your temperature is completely fine." "TING!" "MY DICCOLO IS SUPER SAIYAN ONE!" "Sin and Merala sitting in a tree F U C K I N J! Sin then ends in the back of a police cruiser. Keyahahahahaha, it''s funny cause she''s underaged!" Merala then moves back to where she put the plater down. "Husband why don''t we eat together? I''m sure after being unconscious for a full day, and not eating for 2 days that you must be starved by now." Bending over to pick up a couple dishes, Sin can''t help but take a peak as the chefs apron rises up, showing 2 dampened lips looking back at him" "CLANG!" "CLATTER!" Hearing the loud sound, Sin looks into his Mind Space. There Midnight Reaper is sitting innocently with a great big smile on his face. Just catching a glimpse in time, Sin had seen the plates of food and cups of wine be lifted 6 inches off the table, before once again falling onto the table top. Looking in disgust at Midnight Reaper "You sick mother fucker, that''s supposed to be my ''wife'' and she''s only 16 years old at most!" "And this is Super Saiyan 2!" Midnight Reaper replies back smiling twistedly. Merala then brings back the plates of food, sitting on the bed in front of Sin. Gently placing the food on the bed between the both of them. Smiling proudly at the array of food she had brought. "Dig in my husband, I cooked the food myself!" Holding no reservations back, Merala was right. "I am fucking starved." "Dig in my husband, I cooked the food myself! Or.... would you prefer to eat me instead onii-san?" Midnight Reaper''s twisted commentary sounds out in Sins mind. After spending the next 20 minutes gorging on the various plates of food. Sin pats his stomach in satisfaction. "Prrrhew that was amazing Merala, thank you for cooking me these amazing dishes." Noticing the major changes to Meralas breathing becoming ragged and baited out. Sin notices unaware to himself, he had been sporting a ''tent'' ready to burst through the seams of his pants. "What the fuck Merala! Did you spike the dishes with aphrodisiacs!?" Without answering her husband, Merala leaps into Sins chest pushing him down on the ground. Straddling herself right below Sins ''tent'' Merala then begins rubbing her hand over it vigorously. "My oh my Husband, I think your ''Great Sword'' is feeling a little tight in its sheath. How about I unsheathe it for you?" Merala licks her lips hungrily. Pulling the zipper down as far as it would go, Merala then reaches her hand into the hole. Grabbing Sins Great Sword, and then ''unsheathes it.'' Stroking it teasingly in between her hand, Merala lowers her body to lay in between Sins legs comfortably. Holding Sins ''Great Sword'' Merala sticks her tongue out, twirling it around in circles on the tip of the ''Great Sword'' Looking up to her husband, hearing him ''coo'' in pleasure. Merala smiles satisfied to herself, then opens her mouth over the tip of the ''Great Sword'' taking it into her mouth. Moving her head up and down, testing herself to see how deep she can take it. Meralas fingers begin reaching down to her damp ''lips'' rolling her fingers in between them in circular motions. Feeling the pleasure of playing with herself, and hearing the pleased moans coming from Sin. Merala pushes her head down, taking the whole ''Great Sword'' from the tip to the base. Sin lets out a loud exclaim of pleasure. As a burst of fluids flow into Meralas mouth, enjoying the taste of the fluids in her mouth. Merala swallows making a loud "gulp" sound. Moaning in excitement "Ahhhh, husband that was a mouthful!" Being stimulated to such an extent, Sin finally loses control of himself. Rushing forward and pushing Meralas body underneath him. Merala smiles coquettishly, bringing her 2 hands down to her lips and spreading them apart. "It is all yours my dear husband!" Within Sins Mind Space an extremely loud sound of shattering, and clattering rings out. Being brought back to his senses, Sin looks into his Mind Space. Within, the table Midnight Reaper had been sitting at, covered in various plates of food and drinks. Lays split in half on the ground, with all the plates and glasses shattered into various pieces. "AND this..... is to go further and beyond! I call this Super Saiyan 3." Midnight Reaper laughs out aloud hysterically "Keyahahahahahahahah!" Exiting his Mind Space, and gaining control over his body again. Sin notices Merala had covered her eyes, and two streams of tears running down her face." Sin gets off of Meralas body, grabbing a pair of clothes from the dresser. Sin walks back to the bed, pulling Meralas prone body up. Then gently wrapping his arms around her pulling her into his embrace, then with one hand gently but affectionately strokes her hair. "A little girl like you shouldn''t be playing with fire. Spiking the food with aphrodisiacs, and then throwing yourself at me like you had. You might have very well been burnt by the fire you raised to such a high temperature." "But none of that matters now, nothing more needs to happen from this point on. You''re just a young girl still, have more respect for your body. A womens virginity is her most precious treasure, only meant to be given to the man she truly loves." Raising his hands to Meralas face, wiping her tears away from her eyes. "Here my wife, take my clothes and put them on, then obediently leave my room and go get some rest for the night. Would you do that for me?" Nodding quietly, Meralas eyes then lose focus bursting out into more tears. "You just called me your wife right?" Merala asks weakly staring into Sins eyes. "Yes, I did just call you my wife. While you are my wife in this world, I am here to protect you from all dangers." Wiping her tears of joy away, Merala then starts putting the clothes on given to her. Before leaving the room, Merala turns around and runs into Sins chest, wrapping her arms around his neck. Merala plants a kiss on his cheeks. "Only husband is the best to me in the world." Midnight Reaper sounds out in Sins mind "Wow, look at you being able to appease and control the situation. Calling Merala your ''wife'' and then avoiding a blown out, very impressive." Sighing to himself Sin replies. "I cannot give up on my love for Sabrina. She is an irreplaceable place in my heart. However, In this world Merala is my ''wife'' and I made a promise to Kirala. I will always protect my ''wife'' from the danger belonging to this world." Sigh "You always have been that way. Sabrina knows how much you love her, but she never returns that love you have given her. You only hurt yourself in the long run brother." "I know Midnight, but thus is the human heart. I''m sure if you were one day to become ''human'' having the same body as us. You will also understand the ''love'' for someone, but also the pain of not being destined to be lovers with said person." -------------------------------------------- Merala then obediently leaves Sins room as requested. After running back to her house, Merala tip toes quietly towards her room. Just as she was about to get close, Kirala opens up her door beside Meralas room. "So my daughter, would you care to explain where you ran off to. Practically naked with various plates of food?" Being caught between a rock and tough place, Merala answers back shyly "I..... I went to bring husband some food." "Hoh..... So did you guys eat said food together, or were you his ''food'' sweety?" Kirala smiles teasingly at Merala. "We ate the food together, afterwards the aphrodisiacs kicked in and then before we were about to go all the way. I had chickened out last moment, Husband noticed and came back to his senses, gaining control of himself again." "Ohh.... Well I guess the saying is true, daughter like her mother." Confusion flashes through Meralas eyes forms second, which then turns into shock. "You mean you pulled the same thing off with dad?" Smiling lustfully Kirala explains "Well of course I did sweety, your father is a proud man Merala. If I hadn''t taken the initiative, your father and I wouldn''t have found love. Nor would the both of us been given the chance, to watch our little girl grow up into a beautiful young women like you are today." "Mother, all these years you had always hidden the truth from me. I don''t know if it''s because you wanted to, or if it''s because dad asked you not to tell me. But please just this once, can you answer my question I ask every year on my birthday. Truly who is my father?" "You must promise me you will never hate your father, I can''t explain everything to you in one night. But your father, had changed his identity many times so that he can spend time with you, without alerting the enemies of our tribes that he has left his own clan." "Your biological father, and my husband is Wolf King Sirius." Tears burst like opened flood gates from Meralas eyes. "Mother if that is really true, then doesn''t that mean father only has 2 days left to live?" "And isn''t that also why Rein had acted so differently, compared to his normal self. I know he tried his best to hide it, but it is hard to hide fatherly love in a mans eyes." "That would have to be the reason why, despite Sirius seeing me. Father had run off to scout the enemy encampments, the moment he had seen me." Tears begin rolling from Kiralas eyes. "Your right in everything you just asked me sweet heart." Hugging Kirala and crying in her mother''s embrace. "Why does father have to fight the enemies to the death? Why can''t he just tell me, without any disguises he loves me and spend time with me, instead of wasting his life away to kill more enemies." "Merala my baby, your father has suffered so much over these years. Having to be disguised, not showing his real self to his own daughter. Not once had he allowed himself to kiss or hug you, because if he did he wouldn''t have been able to keep the truth away from you." (The next chapter for this week will come out Thursday.) Tears Of A Father The next morning Sin, Kirala, Sirius, Zenith, the Wolf God Clan elders, and Phoenix Heart Clan elders are all gathered together. Standing around a 30 by 60 tablet embedded into a desk, showing multitudes of red dots surrounding one big green dot. Sirius sighs in regret to himself. "In between Sin and Zenith going on a massacre wiping out 50 enemy encampments combined, we have trimmed the number of enemies by 29,472. However, the majority of those belong to bandits, we have yet to truly cause any real damage to the Beast Mens side. It was also reported to me by Zenith, the Demon Commander Alarune is behind this invasion." A deep blood thirsty bone chilling killing intent erupts out of Sirius uncontrollably. Everyone present is shocked seeing the changes in Sirius, more so Kirala whose women''s intuition is truly frightening. Moving her hands to clasp Sirius''s hands "Husband this Alarune figure, I don''t want to make an ass out of myself. But is it safe to assume, that is the one who has left you in your current state more than 1,500 years ago?" Clasping Kiralas hands tightly Sirius replies to Kiralas answer. "Indeed, Alarune is the one I encountered in my younger years. And also the one who had pushed me to such a pathetic state, that I couldn''t even protect myself in my current state. However, that does not mean I am backing down!" Tears well in Kiralas eyes. A man''s pride is the bane of his very existence, once a man''s mind is set on something. Until he achieves it, or dies trying to gain it. Pride is often the reason why many end up dying early in life. Recollecting himself Sirius states "This is no secret to my wife Kirala. However, this is a secret that all of you do not know. As you can probably tell, I must feel like a weak leaf that any breeze would blow me over right?" Everyone present nods their head, following along the direction Sirius is bringing the conversation. "1,500 years ago I had been out venturing this world, I had stumbled into a Demon Commander by the name of Alarune. To protect a village I found nearly burnt to ashes, I had fought off the Demon Commander, but I did not leave the fight unscathed. I was injured internally, with no way to ever recover from it unless some kind of miracle happened in this lifetime." "And truth be told, I have 28 hours of life left in my old bones to the tee!" Gasps of shock and many of the elders talk amongst themselves disbelievingly. "I figured all of you old bastards wouldn''t believe me. So I will prove it." Taking off his chest plate, despite being in such a miserable condition. Sirius had still taken care of his body continuously training bitterly. On the left hand side of his pectorals, right above where the majority of one''s heart would be. A menacing hour glass with a skull imprinted on it shows sand, slowly but surely draining out of the top part. With a countdown of 0 years, 0 months, 1 day, 4 hours beside it. "This tattoo looking hourglass, is the countdown of my time remaining in this world." All the elders present from the Wolf God Clan go dead silent. While many elders of the Phoenix Heart Clan feel the weight of Sirius''s death approaching weigh down upon them. "Enough with this solemn atmosphere, I know I am the cause behind it. However, the strength in my body is bursting from the seams with excitement that I haven''t felt for 1,500 years! I will fight Alarune back, none of you have to worry about dealing with her. For as long as I am still alive, that bitch can forget about harming my allies, cubs, and loved ones!" --------------------------------------------------------------- After going through the war plan with everyone present, 2 hours pass heavily as all the elders present disperse to gather their fighters. Sirius is alone in his room, looking at a picture frame with a picture of Merala as a child in it. Tears begin dropping from Sirius''s eyes, as his anguished voice weakly sounds out "Merala, my precious daughter. You will have to forgive your father for being such a shitty existence in this world." Sirius''s door bursts open slamming into the wall of the room. Before the noise had registered with Sirius, Merala had run in hugging Sirius from behind. Crying her heart out into the back of her father. "WHY! Why did you never tell me you were my real father! All those times you had taken me out in the disguise of Rein, I could always see that fatherly love in your eyes! Now you''re practically on your deathbed, and you can''t even break this ''secret'' and tell me you love me with your own voice!" Heart pounding like thunder, Sirius tries to speak only for his tongue to have been caught by the cat. Balling his hands up into fists, nails digging into his palms as blood flows. Sirius falls weakly to the ground, pounding his fists into the floor from the anguish tearing his heart apart.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. After multiple minutes Sirius''s exhausted voice sounds out. "Merala my precious daughter. I don''t know where to begin, I know your heart is shattered into many pieces. I can feel the soul pain in my bloodline flowing within your very being. I know I have been a shitty existence of a father, but I truly could never come see you in my own ''body'' I was too scared that if I had. I would never be able to leave you and your mother again." "There is one thing that stands true in this world and my original world. No matter how much of a punk, or bad ass a man is. A father''s love for his little girl, will make even the most cold hearted criminal become a softy." Meralas tears flow furiously "Your wrong, you are the best father I could ever ask for! Even if you had to do it in a roundabout way, you had still taken me out to adventure, you had taught me many combat techniques, you have taught me knowledge from an unknown world. You have done more than many fathers ever would, no matter how hard you tried not to spoil me. You always gave me anything and everything that made my eyes light up." Standing up from the ground, turning to face Merala. Sirius wraps his arms around Meralas back, pulling her into his embrace. Silence permits as father and daughter hug each other, listening to the beating of each other''s hearts, and feeling the bloodline both of them share. After a long half hour of silence, Sirius kisses his daughter on the lips. Smiling happily Sirius says "Thank you for not hating me my daughter, I don''t think I would truly know what to do if you ended up hating me. Thank you so much, and I am sorry but now you have to go to sleep." Before Merala could react, Sirius had already chopped the back of Meralas neck with his hand. Feeling her body fall limply in his embrace, Sirius princess carries Merala to her bed. Covering her affectionately with the wolf blanket he had knit for her, bending down to kiss her forehead one last time. Tears begin to pitter-patter off of Meralas forehead. "Please have a good rest my beautiful daughter, father will protect you from all harm for as long as my body has even an ounce of strength left in it." Raising both his hands to unhook a Wolf Tooth Necklace, Sirius gently lifts Meralas neck putting his necklace on her. "This is the necklace you had pointed out in a shop when you were 3 years old, father has finally managed to give you your birthday gift." Walking towards the door, and looking back at Merala once more. Sirius bites his tongue and slaps himself across the face drawing blood. Sirius closes the door as a father leaving the world. ------------------------------------------------------ Having compelled himself, forcefully shutting down all emotions in his being. Sirius''s eyes view the enemy encampments lifelessly. Feeling the humid breeze on his face one last time. Sin had approached Sirius, standing shoulder to shoulder with the man. "Your life is precious Sirius, Kirala and Merala are blessed to have you as a husband and father." "Sigh... There''s no need to try and rock my resolution Sin. As a husband and a father, I must go out on the battlefield slaughtering all of my enemies! As the 9th generation Wolf King, I must protect the lives of all my cubs who place their lives in my hands! If I get cold feet now, WHO THE FUCK IS GOING TO CARRY MY RESPONSIBILITIES!?" "I will carry your responsibilities. There is no need to deprive yourself of spending the last bit of remaining time you have left, away from your daughter and wife." Pain bursts through Sirius''s ''silent mode'' "Do you really think I want to leave my wife and daughter alone in this goddamn world! Do you think I don''t want to be a proper father and hold my baby girl in my embrace! Do you think I want to be a piece of shit husband who leaves his wife grieving alone in this dark and cruel world HUH!?" Sirius looks Sin in the eyes with tears. "I was brought into this world 1,550 years ago. I had been adopted by the 8th generation Wolf King, In my world where I have come from. I became an orphan child, both my parents were killed in a war between my country and an enemy country. From the age of 4 years old, I had already killed numerous men and women. Just so I could eat, It was either them or it was me. There was no sense of ''love'' left in the world for me. That was until I was brought here, when Kirala became of age she was given to me as my wife. I have spent 99 years with her, sure the beginning was rocky because of my beliefs. Eventually I had fallen in love with her, and then we had Merala together. That was the happiest moment of my life. At that very moment, I felt like all the suffering I had been through in life vanished." Locking eyes with Sirius, Sin clasps wrists with Sirius. "Sirius I am sorry, but this fight with Alarune. I will not allow you to throw your life away! I don''t give a damn what your responsibilities are as the Wolf King. You had better make sure you gave me encampments with the most enemies. Because I swear to god, I will be rushing over to kick your ass unconscious if mother fucking need be!" Walking away and uniting with his unit, Sin issues out orders. Feeling the intensity all fighters regardless of clan do not dare to mess around. Quickly getting into formation, Sin bursts out of the gates. Radiating a killing intent that shocks all around. Unaware to himself, the short conversation with Sirius had touched a place near and dear in Sins heart. Unwilling to let the man suffer such pain, Sins inner blood lust had been ignited on full burning cylinders. Rushing out of the city gates, Sin empowers his body with Mana. Dashing like a cyan blade into the battlefield, Sin and his unit arrive at an enemy encampment one hour later. "Kill all the mothers fuckers and drink their blood!" Sin roars out furiously punching his fist into the face of a Beast Men, blowing his head up into smithereens. Being soaked in the blood of his enemy, Sins blood lust takes control as he loses his self control. Tearing into the enemy encampment like a wolf, amongst a herd of sheep. Every Bandit or Beast Men had their heads blown up to smithereens without prejudice. With a strong unit of 2,500 Sin and company clear the encampment within minutes. "NEXT!" Sin yells furiously as he leads the pack. After three hours and wiping out 27 encampments, Sin had finally found an enemy worthy of notice. Unsheathing his sword Sin dashes forward using [Illusionary Sword] and [Void Steps] in combination. Quick drawing his Sword in rage, Sins blow lands on the Demons Halberd, raising a storm of overwhelming energy blowing away all the nearest clans fighters. "Well if it ain''t a cocky little human being who dares to wander into my territory. Killing thousands of my slaves and soldiers, I will enjoy drinking blood from your skull." The Demon licks his lips viciously. Flexing his leg muscles, Sin launches himself off the ground kneeing the Demon on the chin. Sending the Demons head flying back, Sin infuses his hands with [Midnight Glory] grabbing the Demon by both sides of his head. Tearing with the might of an enraged dragon, Sin splits the Demons body into half, before incinerating it with his Sacred Flame. "Trash like you are the reason, a dying father has to leave the world without spending the remaining time with his family!" Spitting on the ashes of the Demon, Sin launches himself back into the fight killing all the remaining stragglers. "Everybody sit down, eat and replenish your energy. You all have one hour!" "THANK YOU GRAND WARRIOR SIN!" 2,500 fighters yell out. Pulling out their rations, eating and chatting amongst themselves. "Have any of you noticed, Grand Warrior Sin seems like a monster in human flesh right now?" "Hush you buffoon, as warriors who are under orders. It does not matter what our Commander ''seems like'' We are out here fighting to protect both of our clans. You do not need to be questioning what''s up with Commander. But if you must know, I had seen Sin and Sirius talking. I ended up over hearing all of it. All I can say is, Grand Warrior Sin is a man amongst men. To feel the pain of Wolf King Sirius, and taking matters into his own hands. That is all you need to know." An unknown fighter replies, with clear reverence in his eyes towards Sin. Released Scars Of The Heart 8 Bloody hours pass as Sin leads 2,500 fighters through 60 encampment. Claiming the lives of 35,768 bandits, 22,329 Beast Men and 25 Demons of lower class. During the raids Sin had tried his best to protect the lives of his fighters, in the end 50 had sacrificed themselves to protect a fellow comrade in arms. Every death was a pang in Sins heart, these were fighters lives that were his responsibility. These fighters were husbands, wives, sons, daughters. Grinding his teeth looking at the 50 lifeless bodies in front of him, Sin balls his hands into fists powerlessly. "I want all 50 of these fighters to be brought back to Phoenix Heart City. Every man and woman is to be given proper burial. Regardless of clan, the families that are grieving can freely come to find me. I will pay each family 10 years worth of salary, for as long as I am alive. These torn apart families can at least live at ease!" A member of the logistics department writes down the compensation, along with the names of the brave men and women who had died. "It shall be done Grand Warrior Sin." The logistics members bow in respect, thanking Sin for his sincerity, and care towards the families. Remembering the words Sirius had spoken to him. Sin recollects himself silently swearing to himself "No matter how strong I have become so far, I am still not strong enough to stop sacrifices amongst the fighters bestowed to me. I am not yet worthy enough of their respect!" Looking north where Sirius and Alarunes battleground is taking place. From over 25 miles away, Sin can feel the violent energy fluctuations. The clouds torn apart in the sky, and the fighting intent of two warriors. "I want the fastest person to follow me for a trip. The rest of you take ease as you return to Phoenix Heart City. Tell whoever is in charge, under my orders your unit is not to be bothered for 4 hours. During this time you may all eat, relax or sleep. You all have earned it!" Moments later a man in his thirties steps forward to represent the unit. "Grand Warrior Sin, I am known as Graham, without any form of arrogance if I am to say I am second, none would dare say they were first in speed." Looking Graham up and down, "We shall see when push comes to shove, whether you can live up to your claim or not. We have a maximum of 30 minutes to travel 25 miles, if you aren''t getting cold feet by all means I''d like the company." A look of seriousness appears on Graham''s face. "Not to worry Grand Warrior Sin, this man might becoming older, but I am still as rambunctious as a toddler full of piss and vinegar!" "Very well time is wasting, every second counts Graham. I am not looking down on you by any means, if you happen to tire out you can connect your Mana with mine." "There''s no need for that Grand Warrior Sin." Graham replies back respectfully. Taking the lead Sin empowers his body with his Mana, wherever he goes a cyan blur is followed by a crimson blur. Along the way, both men leave any Bandit and Beast Men alive for the sake of meeting the time limit. After 24 minutes Sin and Graham, reach the boundary of Sirius''s and Alarunes battlefield. Looking Graham in the eyes "Wait out here, find some high place to cover your body. Hide your aura within your body, lest you want an un-welcomed welcoming party." Before Graham could answer, Sin had already been an afterimage in his original place. Feeling the weak Mana of Sirius, Sin had increased his speed to 4x what he and Graham had been travelling at. Shocking the man in disbelief, Graham takes heed of Sins words. ----------------------------------------------------- At Sirius and Alarunes battlefield, Sirius is quickly reaching exhaustion. Every sequence taken is a risk of life and death, aura weakening and having a harder time breathing as the seconds pass. Despite him willing his body to follow his orders, Sirius''s body is quickly wrung dry fighting with 100% from the beginning. Noticing the changes Alarune speaks for the first time since their fight started. "Wolf King Sirius, I must say this has turned out to be quite the disappointment. Though you cannot help it, as a warrior I am not pleased by the results of our fight so far. I have barely touched 30% of my full power, if this were you back in your youth. I would be lying if I didn''t say I''d be half across the gates of death already." Staring coldly at Alarune "Well what did you expect of me. Pointing at the hourglass on his chest''s left side, it would appear your little ''friend'' is making me a pathetic excuse of a warrior." "Indeed it is, so now I have no chance but to end your life. You died fighting your hardest for so long already, you should already be proud of keeping up with me so far!" Unleashing a frightening amount of Mana, Alarunes aura explodes creating a totem of a six-armed Asura with 1 Sword in each hand. Looking at the totem behind Alarune, Sirius frowns in displeasure "This stupid bitch has surpassed me when I was at my peak." Calming himself and using the remaining power left in his body. A 100 meter totem of a Black-Red Wolf rises hanging in the sky behind Sirius. The moment Sirius had released his totem, Alarune had already rushed towards him. Just as Alarune and Sirius were about to clash, a figure had arrived in the middle of the clash. Slashing his Sword and Saber out, sending both Alarune and Sirius skidding backwards. Turning his back to Alarune, Sin stares Sirius down. "I thought I told you i''d kick your mother fucking ass unconscious if need be?" Walking towards Sirius, Sin unleashes his Mana suppressing the exhausted Sirius to his knees. "Why don''t you be a good old wolf now, and spend the rest of your life with your wife and daughter?" Defenseless against the Sin who''s not holding anything back at all. Sirius is knocked out unconscious, bending down on one knee and hefting the man''s body over his shoulder. Sin looks back in Alarunes direction. "I will be back in a moment." Slashing his hand down a tear in space appears. Hopping through it Sin appears in front of Graham. "Listen well Graham, you are to take the unconscious Wolf King back to Phoenix Heart City. Bring him to Kirala, and tell him I am taking matters here into my hands!" Sin passes Sirius''s body over to Graham. Once again slashes his hand down, hopping through the tear in space. Sin appears in front of Alarune, "You are my prey now." Unsheathing his Sword Sin disappears using [Void Steps] appearing behind Alarune, followed up with [Illusionary Sword] Placing her Sword behind her horizontally on a 45 degree angle, Alarune effortlessly blocks Sins attack taking one step back. Twisting her wrist Alarune slashes her Sword down at Sin, sliding through the space between her legs. Sin swipes his Sword across Alarunes achilles heel, bringing bright sparks as no damage is left on her war grieves.If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Rolling over avoiding the strike that would have impaled him to the ground, Sin flips his body up into the air. Spinning his body 180 degrees Sin pierces his Sword towards Alarunes neck, effortlessly bringing her Sword up to block the attack. Somersaulting using the rebound force planting his feet onto Alarunes Sword, using all the weight in his body Sin stomps down on the Sword making it pierce through the ground. [Midnight Glory] enshrouds Sins fist as he punches both hands out aiming to smash Alarunes temple between his fists. Just as they were about to meet their target, Alarunes hands had flashed in break neck speed stopping his fists with palms open. "Well aren''t you just a ferocious wolf cub? Those flames could definitely burn me to a crisp if I were careless. Sadly unlike you who has the majority of his power being suppressed by foreign objects, I can use all of my power in whatever way I like such as this." A black globe surrounds Sins body with vast amounts of spatial tears within, just as Sin was about to defend himself. Six blinding Sword Lights cuts into Sins body like a hot knife through butter. Raising her hand and crushing it closed in midair, the spatial tear holding Sins body within compresses. "KRACHAK!" Bone shattering sounds echo throughout the valley, Sins body drops to the ground in a pool of his own blood. Gnashing his teeth, fighting through the pain of having multiple bones shattered. Sin weakly raises himself. "Oh dear you are not a one trick pony are you? I have only shown you a fraction of what I can do, and look at you struggling already. What a mood killer" Alarune stomps down on the back of Sins head burying it into the earth. "A little cub like you dares to appear out of butt fuck nowhere, disappears with my prey and dares to replace him with this meager amount of strength? FUCKING RIDICULOUS!" Alarune increases the force of her foot crushing Sins head into the earth, dust and gravel rise from the ground as a 5 meter deep whole is left in place. Grabbing Sin by the back of the hair and raising him in front of herself, Alarune punches out multiple times each followed by loud "KRACHAKS" "Pitiful, you walk in here acting all hot shit. Yet you''re nothing more than a side bitch compared to a real warrior like Sirius!" Letting go of Sins body as if it were a corpse. "My power coincides with bringing the scars in one''s heart to the surface. Well I hope you don''t mind, let''s see what you have holding back your full power." Sending a portion of her Mana into Sins body. Guiding it towards his heart, Alarune activates her [Heart Murdering Curse] Various images and events float to Sins mind. Starting from the time he was a young child, he had been treated as an outcast by everyone around him. Because he was different from the other children, they had all bullied him. A young Sabrina had stepped in front of Sin, spreading her arms open in front of the bullies. Despite the fear in her innocent heart, Sabrina stands in front protecting Sin from the bullies"Do you think you''re tough picking on Sin in a group?" The other kids start laughing in hysterics, then that ''clip'' in his mind shatters. Moving onto the next one, before Sin was about to leave the country as the Blood Dragon Mercenary Teams Leader. Sabrina had arrived with tears in her eyes "Sin don''t go yet I have something to give you!" Sabrina pulls out a necklace with a picture of her smiling inside of it. "This is for you, I don''t know what it is you have to do, but it is bound to be dangerous. Hopefully with this you will find the strength to continue on!" Transitioning from various scenes, memories, and unforgettable images. One in particular arises stabbing into Sins very being. Sabrina had been in bed making love with another man, the man vulgarly shouts "You stupid little slut, how could that fucking merc ever compare to me! I can fuck you whenever and where ever, bringing you to orgasm multiple times. And yet you dare to say you love him in front of me?" A resounding "SLAP" is heard, leaving a red palm print on Sabrina''s right cheek. "A stupid little girl like you actually made me dirty my own hand, how disgusting." The next scene moves to Sabrina being out with her friends. "Sabrina, when will you tell Sin to stop bothering wasting his time on you? He gives you the world, and yet you don''t return his love. Isn''t it unfair to him?" Talking back to her friends "It''s not like I asked him to fall in love with me. And even if I did give him my love, he''s just a merc who travels from battlefield to battlefield. He''s bound to die one of these days, I do not want to be made a widow with a fatherless child." Tears drop from Sins eyes, internally howling "I gave you the world! I gave you my heart, but I was never good enough for you! You couldn''t care less about me, no matter how hard I tried to show you my love. You took me into your hands, crumpled me up and threw me away!" "Hoh, well aren''t you an admirable human? Loving a woman so much to the point she was the only one keeping you alive during your mercenary times. But she had taken it for granted, and not only that she looks down on you as if you were trash. Oh how I wonder, how you could continue loving someone like that. Well whatever it''s none of my business anyways." Stabbing her Sword down through Sins right shoulder, ripping her Sword out and repeating the process with his left shoulder. Kicking Sins body away like trash in the street. "I''ve lost my interest here, I''d rather be having more fun killing those innocent and weak humans, you and Sirius wish to protect so much." -------------------------------------------------------- Sin lays lifelessly on his back staring up at the sky. Tears stained his face, he had always loved Sabrina more than anything in the world. He had found his soul mate, while they were never meant to be in this lifetime. The heart is a stubborn thing, making Sin suffer much sadness never being able to receive the love he had given out. Thus is how the world works, making a joke out of people for shits and giggles. Weakly reaching his hand towards the necklace hanging around his neck, Sin opens it up looking at the picture of Sabrina smiling for one last time. "All this time, I had been stubborn in loving you. Now I am who knows how far away, and yet my heart still longs for you. We both knew it would always end this way." "My love for you is one that transcends worlds. While I can pointlessly love you, this whole time I had been holding myself back. There''s no point in being a fool any longer." A smile appears on Sins face. "This is goodbye my lover, I hope you''ll find a man who treats you well." Ripping the necklace from his neck with the remaining strength he can muster. A raging inferno of Cyan-Black flames wrap around Sins body. As Alarune was dishearteningly leaving from a disappointing battle. Time seemed to come to a grinding halt, turning around to look behind her. Alarune is stricken with shock to see Sin standing again, what was bizarre to her, all the wounds on his body were healing at a rate visible to the naked eye. A weak voice from out of nowhere sounds beside Alarunes ears "You really shouldn''t have brought a man''s scars to the surface, you may very well just regret giving a man reason to discard his weakness." Slashing out her Sword in multiple attempts, but failing to gain any results of an pointless endeavor. Alarune is shook up, "How could I miss the presence of someone approaching me. But at the same time not existing, this doesn''t make any sense!" Fear begins to blossom within Alarune, "Monster, he''s a goddamn monster! He was practically dead just moments ago, and now he''s risen from the fucking grave as if a reborn phoenix. The pressure he radiates now is stifling, all the cells in my body are screaming danger!" Raising his Sword placing it across both his shoulders. "I must thank you, within despair there is always a light at the end of the road. Not only had you ripped my scars open, you had given me a way to finally release myself from my own doing." Dashing forward Slashing his Sword down at a speed so fast, before Alarune could even react. Two deep gashes appear on Alarunes shoulders, with a pool of blood beneath her. Reacting just in time moving 1 centimeter to the left, Alarune avoids a fatal stab just missing her heart. Being shaken up from the inhumanly fast attacks from Sin. She had been launched into the air by sin, forming a lower case "l" with his body. With one hand on the ground supporting his parallel to ground body, Sin had kicked Alarune in the jaw sending her flying. Letting his body fall backwards to land on his feet, sin jumps from the ground appearing parallel behind her instantly, Sin puts Alarune into a choke hold from behind. Forcefully stopping their ascent with his Mana, Sin uses his back as a ''bomb'' to blow up his Mana sending them streaking to the earth below at 375 kms/hr. Just as they were about to smash into the earth from the sky, Sin had flipped his body standing on top of Alarunes back. Using it to cushion his fall, while a 70 meter long spider web forms on the ground. Shooting out the crater Sin yells down into the newly created crater. "HEY! Are you still alive in there? How does it feel being fucked into the earth!?" Alarunes aura explodes massively, feeling the rage coming from the uncharted depths of the earth, Sins face takes a sudden change. "Looks like you rocked the boat too hard this time dumb ass." Alarune shoots out of the crater, landing 10 meters away from Sin. Wiping the blood off the side of her mouth with her thumb, "It felt great, I JUST love being fucked into the earth!" Vicious To Yourself To Destroy Thy Enemy "Human, you just ripped the dragons reverse scale off. You should be proud as a side bitch warrior making me release all my limiters." Shortly after that, Alarunes aura begins exploding out of proportions. A demonic purple flame roars out of her body into the air, then drops back down in the form of a Dragon swallowing Alarune within. Alarunes armour begins undergoing massive changes, in particular her weapon has the beating thumps of a heart, and the roars of a Dragon from the archaic times. It was then a notification had popped into Sins head. [Conditions to upgrade Basic Destruction Body have been updated. Surpass your limits and destroy the Demon Commander Alarune.] "Tch what a picky fucking system. Just like a damn women, can''t make up your fucking mind." Feeling the changes in Alarune, and every fiber of his very being screaming death awaits. Sin activates [Implosion] while equipping the [Midnight Reaper Mask] enhancing the tier of [Midnight Glory Sacred Flame.] Sins hair grows out in length becoming black, with white streaks flowing throughout. His left eye turns pitch black, and the right jade white. The basic armour transforms into a Black-White Flame full body armour, both of Sins [Soul Weapons] ignite in Black and White flames respectively. "You are right with one thing, I might just be a little side bitch at this point in time. However, what you don''t know is this. The stronger the opponent, the stronger I become in turn." Rushing at each other giving up all sense of defense, fighting with pure primal instinct. Sin and Alarune slash out at each other causing sparks to fly from their armour. Slashing down his Saber onto Alarunes Sword, using all his weight Sin slams his body into Alarunes chest. Knocking her off balance, his Saber slashes down vertically drawing a scar on Alarunes face. Following up with a slash of her own, Sins left side of his chest is ripped open as a feeling of burning pain from being cooked alive flows through his body. Ignoring all pain, Sin viciously throat punches Alarune who has yet to recover from her attack. Knowing how dire the damage would be, Alarune headbutts Sins fist to evade a fatal blow. Being blown back hearing a slight ''crunch'' emit from her skull, Alarune momentarily stumbles disoriented. Giving Sin enough time to flash in sending a deadly elbow blow into her gut, followed by an open palm strike across the right side of her chin. Grabbing the back of her head with both hands, Sin forces her head down smashing his knee into her nose instantly breaking it. The pain wakes up Alarune from being disoriented. Throwing a vicious strike of her own, ripping through Sins armour and flesh coming out the right side underneath his shoulder blade. Sin clasps both hands together, ignited in [Midnight Glory] smashing down on the back of Alarunes head. Alarunes body falls limp, managing to stay up thanks to the support of her arm pierced through Sins body. Grabbing the arm that''s pierced through his body, Sin applies pressure snapping her arm in half. Stomping down on her lower back, Sin stabs his Sword and Saber down through both shoulders. Giving up all caution to the wind, Sin pushes [Midnight Glory] beyond the acceptable range where it doesn''t burn him either. Standing in the column of fire burning himself and Alarune together. Alarune grabs Sins ankle with her left hand, ignoring the pain of muscles being cut apart by the Saber in her shoulder. Alarunes heaves her arm forwards, knocking Sin off balance and falling to the ground beside her. Straddling his body, Alarune rains down punches onto Sins face, chest, gut, rib-cage and nose. Just as the last was about to land on his throat crushing his windpipe, Sin grabs her hand with an open palm. Clenching down with all his force shattering the bones in her hand. Alarune lets out a scream of pain, Sin extends his legs forwards throwing Alarune off of his body. Both stand up instantly, launching forward punching each other in the face at the same time. Not willing to be the side to give up, both Sin and Alarune send blow after blow into each others undefended bodies. Both fighters last punch meet each other first for fist, sending them skidding backwards huffing and puffing. Leaving a long blood trail to where they eventually stopped. "THIS is the motherfucking thrill I''ve been looking for!" Alarune yells out in ecstasies "However, your time has come to an end." The six-armed Asura totem appears hovering behind her back in the sky. Looking up at it, Sin is momentarily fazed as a voice in his soul unknown to him sounds out. "Brat if you die so does my remnant soul. It is too early to be appearing, however the situation isn''t proving to be a good one for you. I will transfer you whatever energy I can, combine both your Qi and Mana with the new energy. A vast amount of knowledge floods into Sins mind. As if he had already known it for all his life, combining all three sources of energy into one single unity. Sin yells out [Destruction] His aura explodes as a 100 meter tall totem of a Black Wolf appears behind him, decked out in armour resembling a Blood Dragon. Uncontrollably both of Sins [Soul Weapons] are drawn together combining with each other. Grabbing his combined [Soul Weapon] floating in the air. Sin notices the illusory figure of Midnight Reaper contained within the weapon. Looking in confusion Midnight Reapers voice transfers to Sins ears. "You had said we would create new legends together in this world, it''s time to stay true to that oath brother." "What a good brother you are, but truly this fight has to end immediately. Under the effects of both [Implosion] and [Destruction] combined, my cells are being devoured to give me this power. If I don''t finish things fast, my body may very well blow up on its own accord." Breathing in through his nose, and out through his mouth. Sin closes his eyes, as he sheathes his weapon into the scabbard hanging from his waist to contain the weapon. Erasing all thoughts and distractions from his mind, Sins killing intent intensifies. Solely focused on killing Alarune, the raging inferno calms itself, as the 100 meter Black Wolf Blood Dragon Armour totem shoots down being absorbed into Sins body.The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. "Hoh... Well don''t you seem to be in a dangerous state right now, but do you think you have the strength to truly surpass me?" A smile appears on Alarunes face "Unlike you, I can also double up on my Berserk state without it destroying my body from the inside out!" Alarunes figure becomes completely red, as steam begins rising from her body. Her six-armed Asura totem flies down combining itself with her body. Three arms spread out from Alarunes left and right side respectively, wielding one Sword in each hand. "Walking the path of an Asura, is about slaughtering all enemies with overwhelming power. This is a technique I had just recently created. I planned on killing Sirius with it to honour him as my rival. But I think killing a potential threat like you, is far more important than my own rival." Feeling the terrifying aura radiate off of Alarunes body. Sin looks at Alarune lifelessly thinking to himself. "Merala, I''m sorry just as I had rid myself of the scars in my heart. I will be leaving this world shortly, I was just starting to enjoy the love and affection in your voice when you call me your husband." A smile appears on Sins face, as determination burns within his eyes. "Let''s finish this!" Sin roars out with one hand on the hilt of his weapon, running straight towards Alarune focusing purely on attack. After reaching 10 meters away from each other. Focused in on the ''zone'' a scream of agony pierces through the forest, temporarily breaking Sins concentration. "Husband you can''t die! A world without my husband in it, is not a world worth living in. If you die, I die!" Too late to change his attack, a sound of chains snapping echo within his mind. Sin uses [Void Steps] at the last moment appearing behind Alarune. [Illusory Sword: Void Breaker] Space twists around Alarune, compressing her body until it emits loud popping sounds. Sheathing his weapon with a ''Ssssshhhhhh'' blood sprays out in a shower from both Alarune and Sins bodies. Sins entire right arm is cleaved through, just barely being held onto by the muscles. Appearing behind Alarune, grinding his teeth down ignoring the ''frozen'' sensation in his right arm. Sin uses the hilt of his scabbard thrusting it into Alarunes back, sending her flying into the air. Launching himself off of the ground Sin envelops his whole body in [Midnight Glory] Slashing out his weapon, six beautiful Sword Lights envelope Alarune like a black rose blooming at midnight, with the moon above. Six deep cleaves appear in Alarunes body, one even severing her whole left arm as it burns into nothingness. [Blood Dragon Interweaving Night] Holding his weapon in front of his face, placing his right hand on the back of the blade. The mysterious voice sounds again within his soul. "Are you sure you wish to descend upon this path?" Instantly answering "Yes" Sin hears a sigh full of grief. "This is the same reason why I couldn''t protect Eril and Meril all those years ago, but your choice is yours and it''s been made. I hope you''re able to withstand the backlash." The temperature in the surrounding 60 miles. Rises to an extreme high, nine black suns appear around Sins body. Nine rays of flaming light shoot out from each sun individually into Sins [Soul Weapon.] Igniting into a brilliant sea of stars and comets flowing like tranquil water around Sin and Alarune in midair. [Nine Heavenly Retribution Suns!] Sin slashes down his weapon, cleaving the surrounding fabric of the world in half. As a pillar of flame shoots out of his weapon, in the form of a 400 meter tall wave of black flames. Rushing through Alarunes body without reservation, a solitary scream of agony sounds out before disappearing. Alarune had been incinerated almost instantly, the pillar of flames continued on for 20 miles, just ending 5 miles short of reaching Phoenix Cry City. Still airborne Sins body makes a loud "POP!" As vast amounts of blood explode out of Sins body from head to toe. Powerlessly falling to the ground from 300 meters high, Sin takes a look in Meralas direction. Noticing the tears in her eyes, Sin forces the remaining Mana in his body to stop his descent. Nearly being knocked unconscious from the pain, Sin smiles lovingly towards Merala. "I''m alive my wif-" Sins body once again descends unstoppable this time, slamming into the ground causing a 7-meter crater to appear in the earth. Coughing up pools of blood, with bits of organs and shattered bone mixed within. Merala runs towards the direction of the crater, Sin lays lifelessly gazing at the sky. Now that the fight had officially ended, the aura both Sin and Alarune had been producing vanished. The splash effect alone from each other''s blows could have easily killed Merala without exception. Pangs of pain awakened Sin from falling unconscious, Merala had elevated his lifeless body. Sitting on the ground behind Sin, Merala had used her chest as a pillow for Sins head. While her arms wrap around his chest open palmed, sending Nature Qi into the gaping hole Alarune had punched through his body. Sin leans his head backwards locking his eyes with Merala weakly. "Please leave me here and return to Phoenix Cry City. Kirala is gonna hang me from the balls, if her precious daughter were to receive any direct form of danger." Sin descends into unconsciousness from the exhaustion of burning his bodies potential. Had he kept himself forced in his Berserk state any longer, his whole body would have blown up into smithereens. After one full hour and exhausting her Nature Qi reserves. The gaping whole in Sins chest had been stabilized, no longer bleeding and slightly healing the severed muscles and tendons. "Husband, your suffering is also my suffering. We will share times of joy together, as well as times of pain and sadness together. Foolish man, how could I ever leave my husband out here to be killed by the enemies hands?" After carefully maneuvering Sins body, eventually Merala had managed to get his body wrapped around her in a piggy back position. Trekking her way back to Phoenix Cry City with her unconscious husband, Merala had run into many organized platoons of bandits. 5 Hours pass with much blood shed in between, Merala had avoided the fights possible, and fought those that she couldn''t avoid. Using her own body on many occasions to shield the unconscious Sin, Merala had been worked down into a weakened state tumbling and falling many times. Eventually her body had become numb and powerless. However, the thought of not being able to protect her own husband. Had pushed her beyond many limits, making the seemingly impossible task at hand possible. By the time Merala had finished trekking her way back to Phoenix Cry City. Merala was beyond spent, the gates had opened immediately when the city guards had seen their little matriarch approaching the city. After Merala had walked into Phoenix Cry City, a frail body had appeared in front of her "YOU STUPID GIRL! Do you not understand the dangers of being so close to Grand Warriors, and a Grand Demons battle is!?" Sirius howls in fright, seeing all the grievous injuries his precious daughter had attained. Smiling touched by the love and worry on Sirius''s face. Merala smiles like an angel. "Father, I saved my husband''s life!" Were the last words said before Merala had fallen unconscious, with Sins body falling to the ground beside her. Bending down to the ground on his knees, Sirius picks Merala and Sins body''s up, hanging them over his shoulders. "Goddamn young''uns, what a mess you leave yourselves for us old timers to deal with." One Last Dance Four hours have passed since Merala and Sin had arrived at Phoenix Cry City. Merala had awoken and was spending time with Sirius. "Father, how is husband''s condition?" "This little bastard had discarded all defense. Had he a little bit of a brain up in his house, he could''ve been fully recovered by mine, and your mother''s clan elders. We can at most take away the threat to his life, but to truly recover. A trip to the capital city is needed." Disgust flashes in and out of Meralas eyes. "The capital city is occupied by the Vermilion Bird Clan. If my husband were to go, that bitch and her daughter will do anything to get back at you and mother. It wouldn''t surprise me if both those sluts tried to devour my husband." Shaking his head in frustration, Sirius tries his best to pacify Merala. "Truth be told the travel can wait another 2 or 3 weeks. After my death, the Wolf God Clan is going to be in an uproar. The 20 elders present already approve of Sin. However, those other fucks do not, their ambition might destroy the clan if Sin does not take appropriate measures." Patting Merala on the head, like he always had during her childhood. "Do not be angry towards the Vermilion Bird Clan. The Phoenix Heart Clan, and Vermilion Bird Clan have always been allies of my Wolf God Clan. We may have been kicked out of the capital city, but that does not mean our friendship has grown thin. You''ll have to do your absolute best baby girl. Ariya''s daughter Reiya, will definitely fight for Sins love, to make up for what her mom lost previously." Pouting like a spoiled child "Hmph that nympho and little slut can forget it. Unlike Reiya, husband has already warmed up towards me. She''ll at most be good as a mistress to watch on when husband becomes a legend in this world." Pinching Meralas cheeks lovingly "Let''s go find your mother, Kirala said she was making your favorites for supper tonight." Merala instantly cheers up running out of the room. After a couple seconds, she runs back in and kisses Sins forehead before leaving again. Happily shouting aloud "Mother, I want more Scallops than father!" Smiling to himself, Sirius looks at Sin thinking to himself. "My daughter is in your hands now my boy, I leave the clan and my cubs in your hands. I wish I could live a little bit longer, it would have been nice to bring Kirala and Merala to Earth with me." Sirius arrives at the dinner table, taking his place sitting beside Kirala. Merala had already been on her third plate of food. Seeing his daughter eat with such gusto, a prideful smile appears on Sirius''s face. "Eat slowly and savour the food my girl, you''ll taste more of the flavours your mother put into her dishes." Kirala kicks Sirius''s foot under the table, flashing a coy smile to Sirius. Merala had been too busy diving into the feast spread out on the table to notice. Looking over to his wife, Kirala had been eating a sausage in a provocative way. Her intention was clear, Sirius looked away somehow at that point in time, something on the roof seemed to be especially interesting. After Merala had devoured the majority of the food, she had run off to accompany the unconscious Sin. Kirala nuzzles up into Sirius''s embrace. "Hubby, do you have any regrets in this world?" Tears fall through Kiralas choked words. Running his hand lovingly through Kiralas hair. "Only a minor one, but that''s not something I will die regretting. You''ve healed my heart, and even given me the wonderful blessing of such a beautiful daughter. What could I possibly regret?" Looking up into Sirius''s eyes "Hubby, do you think Sin will recover? Merala has already decided Sin as her husband. If she lost both her husband and father, she would be truly heart broken." "Of course he will recover, my boy is a monstrous existence in any world or galaxy out there. Even more so now, Sin has changed and become a new man. From another man''s point of view, he had rid himself of the scars he was holding within his heart. I had rushed back in time to see the death of Alarune, If it weren''t for Meralas cries. Sin really might have let himself die to kill his opponent." "Hubby, can you take me out to see the stars with you one last time? You said one day you would point out to me your parents in the night sky." Smiling lovingly "Of course my queen, anything to make you happy. Sirius picks Kirala up in a princess carry, bringing a shocked gasp, followed by affectionate laughter. "Come on my beautiful queen, the starry sky is waiting for us." --------------------------------------------------- After trekking up the mountains for a half hour, Sirius was starting to wheeze and exhaust himself. Kirala worriedly tells Sirius "Hubby, this spot is good. It is a good clear view of the stars." Despite knowing his own condition, Sirius is ashamed of himself. "Not yet, we have yet to reach the top. My queen deserves the best views, not something half-assed." Sirius continues his hike up the mountain. Finally after another hour, and reaching their destination. Sirius had fallen flat on his ass, covered in sweat from head to toe. "Now this is the beauty that is worthy to grace my queen''s presence." Kirala and Sirius lay down on the grass beside one another, clasping hands with each other. Sirius raises Kiralas hand to his face, lovingly kisses the back of her hand. "In my world, we used to hold special events when two lovers became unified for life in marriage. However, none of those people who can attest to it are here in this world. But we have the stars in the sky to attest for us, and also my parents." Sirius pulls out a little box from his pocket "A woman like you deserves so much better. I caused you so much heartache back then, and even now I will only cause you more heartache. I hope this is enough to make up for my actions back then." Sirius opens the lid of the box, revealing a ring with an Amethyst embedded into it. "This is the last thing that I will be able to give you my queen, purple has always been your favorite colour. Holding Kiralas right hand in his, Sirius gently places the ring onto Kiralas ring finger. "Back on earth, this is what it means when a man has decided to choose the women he will stay with for the rest of his life." Kirala looks at the ring on her finger with tears of joy. "Hubby, this is so beautiful! Where did you get something like this?" This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. Kissing Kirala on the lips. Sirius smiles "I made it for you, I am sorry I''m not a craftsman or anything of the sorts. If I were, it would''ve turned out even more beautiful for my queen." Shaking her head "Foolish hubby. No matter what it is, if you put your heart and love into it. It will always be beautiful, not because of luxury. But because of the time one pours all their passion and love into it." Kirala rubs the ring gently with appreciation. "Does this mean you will also be my guardian star with this ring?" "Indeed I will be, when a loved one dies. They become stars in the sky, they watch you and guide you throughout life." Pointing up at the stars in the sky. "The one on the right is my mother, she was a tailor. She always took pride in keeping her man well dressed. The one on the left is my father, he was the Commander of an army 350,000 strong. He protected all lives equally, nobility or peasant. To him every life was precious, he was a man who died protecting his comrades." Listening to Sirius and watching where he points in the sky. Kirala is stunned, two projections of both stars look towards Kirala and Sirius from in the sky. Smiling sweetly the women uses her hand to guide the various stars in the sky "Thank you for the beautiful granddaughter" The women''s figure disappears, as the man uses his hand to guide the various stars in the sky. "I am proud of you, my son. Thank you for the beautiful granddaughter." The man''s figure disappears from the sky. Kirala wipes the back of her neck, looking at her dampened hand. Sirius had started crying the moment he saw the smile he had missed for so long. "Your parents are lovely people, I wish time could be reversed so I could meet them." Wiping the tears from his eyes. "They were the most caring, in times of war when there was hardly any food to go around. Both of them would always starve themselves to make sure I was fed." Sirius wraps his arms around Kiralas waist, whispering into her ears. "Before I die, I would like to dance with you under the night sky while I still have some strength left in me." Helping Sirius up, Kirala wraps her arms around Sirius''s neck. Sirius wraps his arms around Kiralas waist, with each step and each twirl, Sirius had spun his love into Kirala. A man''s true desire is to find a woman he can love with all his heart. In any world, loneliness is a curse that drives humans crazy. For all desire companionship, to share laughter, love, and happiness, with the one that eradicates the darkness in their world. Each second passes, as both enjoy the company of their lover. Wishing to continue, Sirius simply couldn''t keep up anymore. "Thank you for the dance hubby, who would''ve known you can control the battlefield just as good you do your women''s movements." Kirala playfully taunts Sirius. "There is no shame in a man being able to dance my queen. After all who is the one that couldn''t stop the smile from hanging on her face?" Blood starts to roll from Sirius''s eyes, as his black hair turns white falling on the grass and withering away. Sighing in sadness Sirius''s voice carries pain. "My queen, it would seem your husband''s time is coming to an end." Hugging Kirala tightly into his embrace, kissing her on the lips one last time. "Be strong for yourself and Merala, I don''t want to be the piece of shit husband and father who leaves his family. But I truly cannot fight this curse off anymore." Smiling one last time, flames erupt around Sirius''s body. A totem of a wolf shoots out of his body, raising its head and howling into the sky one last time. Before erupting into flames and withering away. All the clan members of the Wolf God Clan in Phoenix Cry City, had heard the sorrowful howl of their Wolf King as he leaves this world. As a father, a husband, and man everyone respected. Every member of the Wolf God Clan lets out a piercing "AWOOOOOOOOOOO!" into the night sky, as many mourn the loss of their Wolf King. Kiralas cries enter empty ears, as the body of Sirius she had been holding turned into ash, floating amongst the wind into the surrounding earth. Tears roll from Kiralas eyes like the opened floodgates of a dam. Looking up into the sky, a new star had taken its place comfortably above Phoenix Cry City. Looking at it, Kirala wipes her tears away as she sees the smile of her beloved Husband in the night sky. "Thank you for everything my husband, thank you for making me a mother. Thank you for loving me, thank you for being the father of our beautiful daughter." Kirala lets her body fall onto the grass below her, comfortably laying in the remnant ashes. The warm embrace of her hubby, hugs her as the chilly night wind blows unforgivingly. -------------------------- Before Sirius''s soul had completely dissipated, he had transferred it into Meralas dream. Sirius had called out "Merala sweet heart, come and see father for the last time." Merala had coming around the corner cheerily "Papa! I want to go to the capital city, eat lots of yummy food and go on many rides." A five year old Merala ran into Sirous''s embrace. Picking his daughter up and spinning her around in circles. "Okay sweetheart, we shall go on every ride there is." Sirius lifts Merala up onto his shoulders. "Hang on tight to papa, we''ll be there in a jiffy." Running full speed ahead from Phoenix Cry City, all the way to the central city. Merala had been laughing the entire time "Papa I want to eat scallops the way you cook them for supper tonight!" Smiling lovingly "Okay my little princess, papa will buy the most delicious scallops for you tonight after our day at the fair." After 45 minutes of constant running, Sirius and Merala arrived at the central city. Arriving outside of the gates for the fair. Sirius raises 2 fingers in the air "Two full day passes please ma''am." "Of course sir, I hope you and your daughter enjoy your day here." A fair attendant had smiled back at Sirius passing him two tickets. After seeing Meralas bright eyes, the attendant had bent down. "Well aren''t you just the cutest little thing?" Pulling out a lollipop from her pocket, the attendant smiles "This is for you little one." Grabbing the lollipop happily Merala thanked the attendant, before sticking it into her mouth and running back to Sirius. Raising both arms up expectantly "Papa I want to ride on your shoulders!" Picking Merala up and placing her on his shoulders again. Sirius asks lovingly "Do you want a snack first, or go on rides?" "The merry go round!" Merala shouts aloud pointing towards the ride. Before going onto the ride, Sirius and Merala showed the Carney their passes. Placing Merala on the biggest horse on the ride. "Hold on tight my princess. Father will be right beside you the whole time." After the ride had ended, Merala shouts as she pointed towards the gravitron-3000 "Papa let''s go on the spinny ride!" Merala runs off getting her place in line. Turning around and shouting "Papa hurry up before I ask an uncle to take me on the ride." A joyful afternoon passes, after going on many rides, playing many games, and tasting all kinds of treats. An exhausted Merala is fast asleep on Sirius''s back. Before leaving the capital city, Sirius bought many pounds of scallops. Arriving back at Phoenix Cry City, Sirius puts Merala to sleep in her bed. "Father will have a yummy supper waiting for you when you wake up." Kissing her forehead, Sirius leaves the room arriving at the kitchen and starts preparing all of Meralas favourite foods. One hour passed halfway through, Kirala had joined in cooking supper. After sharing an affectionate kiss, Merala had come running through the dining halls doors. "Papa I''m starving!" Merala was already sitting at her spot excitedly, with a fork and knife in each hand slamming them down on the table. "Papa I want more scallops than you." Bringing various dishes to the table. Sirius had placed an oversized bowl of food filled to the brim with scallops, peppers, bean sprouts, shredded carrots and noodles. "Eat slowl-" Before having the chance to finish his sentence, Merala already had stuffed cheeks struggling to chew her food. Looking over to Kirala, Sirius playfully teases "She''s just like her mother, devours food without savoring the flavours." Looking annoyed Kirala says back "Keep it up, and there won''t be any sex tonight hubby." Spitting out the drink from his mouth, Meralas attention was inevitably caught. "Papa you should drink slower or you''ll choke on it." Kirala laughs mockingly "That''s right hubby, you should drink slower." Later that night after supper, and taking Merala out to play and run off her energy. Sirius bathed Merala, and told her the bedtime story, Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs. Merala had fought sleep for more than a hour, so she could listen to the bedtime story. However, as inevitable as it is. Merala was tuckered out from all the rides earlier on, and the playing after supper. Kissing Merala on the forehead, Sirius smiles one last time. "Goodbye my beautiful daughter, papa will always watch over you from up high in heaven." Sirous''s remaining soul had completely vanished from the world. ------------------------- Meanwhile back in the capital city, the soul stone of the Wolf King shattered. Causing a massive commotion in the capital city''s royal families. Many had gathered for emergency meetings, some were joyous over Sirius''s passing. While many were sad, as a respectable Grand Warrior, and a good ally to their clans. The Vermilion Bird Clan had mourned the most, mainly Ariya the matriarch of her generation. "Sirius you will be missed dearly, I may not have gained your heart and your love. But I have always loved you since back then, not one man had touched me since." Tears fall from Ariya''s eyes, as she recalls all the memories of the young Sirius. Fighting to protect her life, when she had nearly been assassinated by the Demon Alarune. "If only I were stronger back then, you wouldn''t have had to suffer such grievous injuries. Nor would the Wolf God Clan be kicked out of the capital city." Suppressing The Elders After Sirius had died, Kirala had gathered all the remnant of his ashes, pouring them into an urn that was designed to resemble a wolf. Arriving back at her house, Merala was there waiting with tears in her eyes. "Father appeared in my dreams for the last time." Running into Kiralas embrace and hugging her mother. Merala bawls in her mother''s embrace "Why does this world have to take father away from us?" Gliding her hands through Meralas long hair. "It is okay sweetheart Your dad may have left, but do not forget this, when someone you love dies they turn into stars, gleaming in the night sky. So, when you are lonely and miss your father, look up into the night sky. You will find his silhouette looking over you, and tell him all about what you live through and experienced. Eventually you''ll see a smile in the night sky, that belongs just to you." "Now come Merala, it has been a long and exhausting period of time. Let''s go get some sleep" Kirala guides Merala into her bedroom, and both mother and daughter fell asleep side by side. They both cried in their sleep, one had lost her husband, and the other had lost her father. After waking up the next day, Merala lacked an appetite appetite, which was unlike her. Normally she''d consume enough food which would put six grown men to shame. Sighing in sadness Kirala kissed Meralas hair "I know it is very hard sweetheart, truly I do. If you won''t eat for me, can you do it for your father? He would not want to see his precious girl like this." Nodding her head with tears in her eyes. Merala had finally finished eating a plate of food. "Thank you mother, it was good like always." Smiling happily after her daughter had eaten. "Merala sweetheart, when the fighters of the Wolf God Clan leave today and return to their clan. Go and accompany them back to their clan, what you need is time for your heart to heal. And besides, your father is the type to leave things behind. Maybe you''ll get something that eases the pain in your heart." Nodding her head before leaving the room, Merala turned around. "What about you mother?" Smiling confidently Kirala replied "Don''t worry about me sweetheart, mother will be fine. Now go and pack what you need. You don''t want your husband to be alone if he were to wake up without you by his side do you?" "I will be strong for both of us, as you''re hurting inside more than I am. However, I am my father''s daughter, and I do not want to make father sad seeing me like this. I have to be strong, so he can finally be at peace." Merala left the dining hall returning to her room and packed various changes of clothes, and woman ''necessities'' that every woman over packs for. After packing everything she needed, Merala made her way to the infirmary, where Sin was kept for this recovery. After entering Merala was surprised to see the 20 Wolf God Clan Elders. Bowing her head respectfully "Good afternoon elders, I hope I''m not intruding." "You may rise Merala. You''re not intruding at all. Sin is your husband, and you have every right to be here just as we do." Rein assured politely. All the other elders nod in good will towards Merala. Some even smiled asking "How are you feeling after Wolf King Sirius''s passing last night?" She thanked the elders for their respect, before acknowledging the questions about her father. "I''m heartbroken, but father would not want to see me in such a sad state." "That is true, Sirius always drank with me until both of us were drowned by Bacchus, when he had to stop impersonating me to take you out when you were still just a child." Rein said remembering the good times. Suddenly he turned serious, looking Merala directly in the eyes "Merala we believe it is best you stay here, as the clan is going to be in a mess, and the other 20 elders are not as accepting as we are. They will most likely try to split our clan apart, and knowing Zenith''s temperament, there will be fighting involved. We do not want you to get involved in this despicable matter." Merala shook her head "Without any disrespect elders, Sin is my husband and I am going no matter what. My father has appointed Sin as the next Wolf King, and I am going to be there to congratulate him. There is nothing that will stop me from being with my husband!" Rein waited a few beats, thinking, before replying "Well as you may see fit then little matriarch. We will be leaving in 2 hours from now. Do you need me to come get you before we are ready to go?" "No need for that Rein, I will be accompanying my husband in the hopes he will eventually awaken." All the elders exit the room, gathering their fighters, along with the loot they had acquired from various raids they had performed. Before leaving the city, 40 families from the Phoenix Heart Clan approached the elders. "Grand Warrior Sin had stated he would give our families 10 years of compensation for our husbands death. Truth be told, we do not want compensation. We would like to serve Grand Warrior Sin when he officially becomes the next Wolf King." Rein was put on the spot. Feeling awkward, he replied "As much as I would love to have your families serve our Wolf King, I do not want to take away families from our allies." Kiralas voice sounds out as she approaches. "I have already given them permission, Sin had earned their respect and devotion. Who would I be to turn away such loyal people from honestly serving the next Wolf King?" She finished, smiling warmly at the elders who were present The families bowed their heads, thanking Kirala profusely for allowing them to serve Sin. After accounting for everyone present, Rein yells aloud. "Since everyone is here, you all have 10 minutes left to say goodbye to your significant other half. We will return to the Wolf God Clan, I am sure many are missing home, and many deserve a good rest after the war we just fought!" Every fighter present man and woman, kiss their loved one goodbye. Then they got back into formation, awaiting the orders to move out. "Move out, we have a home calling for our return!" Rein shouted. ----------------------------------------------------- After six long days of travelling, Rein, Zenith and the other elders, lead their fighters back to the Wolf God Clan. Upon their arrival many shouts of victorious war cries were heard from within Wolf Heart City. All the built up exhaustion from the travel had removed itself from the fighters shoulders. "Everyone disperse, your families are awaiting your return. Rest up well, in the next week all of you are relieved from duties to recover and relax." After hearing Reins orders, and the vacation they would all receive. All the fighters present thank Rein and the elders, returning to their families in high spirits. As Rein, and the elders following him, were about to bring Sin to receive extra treatment, an elder named Arkus stepped forward, blocking the group. "I believe Wolf King Sirius had always said, might makes right. Therefore, I would like to formally request a challenge with the qualifier for the title of Wolf King."Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. Zenith came to the front enraged yelling "You mother fucking piece of trash, how dare you act all hot shit in front of us. Do you dare to disrespect the 10th generation Wolf King!?" Arkus shrugged his shoulders in a contemptuous way "You mean that unknown punk who had trained with you and Sirius for 2 months? What good would a young weak warrior like him do as the 10th generation Wolf King? There are plenty of us who are more deserving of such glory." Zenith was about to raise his voice again, when an overbearing voice sounded out from behind "Enough of this bullshit, it''s clear these old fucks don''t believe in my might. So there is clearly only one proper way to make them believe in my strength!" A bandaged man appeared between both groups, and naturally this was Sin. He stared at Arkus, and the other elders, with disgust. "All 20 of you may come at me however you like. I don''t want a bunch of old pussies screaming about unfairness when I whip your sorry asses!" That simple movement had already bloodied the bandages around Sins abdomen. Seeing this Arkus scoffed in humiliation "You alone, an injured man dares to take all 20 of us on? How laughable!" "I may be injured, but beating some arrogant fuck tards like you is not out of my current capabilities. Now come, and show me what your arrogance has backing it up!" Arkus without any reservations, threw himself at Sin aiming to punch at his chest. Effortlessly grabbing Arkus''s hand, Sin moves his body forward three inches. He flexed his back muscles, sending all his power into his fist which he used to sock Arkus in the gut. The man is lifted six feet off the ground throwing up the contents in his stomach, and falling to his knees as a foot descended on the back of his head. "Just like I said, a pathetic excuse of a man like you is nothing but trash. I should''ve let Zenith take care of you, because now I stained my boots." Looking at the other 19 elders, Sin flashed and appeared behind the nearest one. Brazilian kicking the surprised elder he sent him flying like a rag doll. Sin flashed above him grabbing him by the back of his head, and smashing it downwards into the earth rendering the elder unconscious. Wiping off the dust on his bloodied bandages, Sin lifted up the unconscious elder chucking him into the group. One of the elders stepped forward catching him, the moment afterwards he fell limp to the ground. [Blood Dragon Neutralizing Palm] All the elders had grouped around Sin, weapons unsheathed. Sin laughed aloud like a mad man as he examined the group surrounding him "Dogs who only know to bite the hand of the one who feeds them, should be taught their place." Unsheathing his combined Soul Weapon, Sin twisted the dull edge of the blade facing the elders present. "None of you ungrateful mutts, are worthy of dying your blood on my blade." Dashing forward Sin slashed down, rending a weapon in half sending the elder flying backwards. Appearing behind the elder six sword lights devoured the elders body [Blood Dragon Interweaving Night] and the elder fell to the ground powerless in fright and shame. Dodging to the left side by three centimeters, Sin ducked below the attacking elder. Thrusting the bottom of his scabbard into the elders gut, Sin finished up with clenching his hands and hammering down on the back of the elders head. Sin jumped up, dodging a blade which would''ve torn his chest open. Stomping his legs down, the sword shattered into numerous pieces. The next elder to attempt attacking him had their temples crushed between his fists. Throwing his body down to the ground, Sin effortlessly dodges the four attacks aimed towards him. Unsheathing his weapon 16 sword lights flow like water sending the four elders flying [Blood Dragon Blossoming Lotus] Gathering his Mana into the dull part of his Soul Weapon, Sin slashed out forming a giant cross devouring the remaining elders [Blood Dragon Sanctuary Cross] Sheathing his weapon with a "Ssssshhhhh" All the bandages wrapping Sins body had been fully drenched in his blood. Sin had an expression of distaste on his face as he stared down at the beaten elders. He turned to Zenith "When they''re awake I want a meeting with all of them later tonight." Before walking away Arkus''s voice could be heard. "This isn''t over yet you motherfucker! All of you get into a unison formation, because we''re showing this young pup not to look down on us!" The 19 other elders formed a pentagram formation, with Arkus standing in the middle of it. All the elders channeled their Mana into Arkus. Raising his war blade high into the air, Arkus slashed down with all of his strength. A gigantic wave of Sword Qi blasted out, racing to devour Sin within. Turning around with his palm open, Sin clenched the Sword Qi wave, turning it into multiple lights floating in the wind. "I wished to be merciful, but all of you are no longer deserving of my mercy!" The Midnight Glory Sacred Flame erupts out of Sins body. unsheathing his weapon holding it parallel to the ground. Sins Sword Qi raged forming a river in the sky above. [Blood Dragons Water Path: Flowing Blades] When he slashed his Soul Weapon down, the raging river of Sword Qi crashes into the unison formation of Arkus and the other elders. A loud shattering sound reverberated, sounding as though a glass cup had shattered upon making contact with the ground. The entire formation blew up, all the elders suffered hundreds of appear on their bodies. Falling weakly to their knees they hurled up mouthfuls of blood. Walking towards Arkus, with his blade emitted loud scraping sounds on the ground below. Sin places the sharp edge of his weapon over the back of Arkus''s neck. "Do you still dare to resist me now?" Sin asks, his voice cold, his billowing killing intent, takes form of a Blood Dragon hovering in the sky. Gulping with a back drenched in a cold sweat, he stuttered "No Wolf King, I do not dare resist you any longer." Lifting the blade off of Arkus''s head, a smile graced his face. "Good, and as Wolf King I declare all of you 20 elders no longer need to worry about clan affairs. Your position as elders has been dismissed, until the day I deem you deserve my trust, and authority within the clan. Am I understood?" Sin placed heavy emphasis on the last part. Arkus and the other elders banged their foreheads on the ground shouting in unison, "Yes Wolf King!" "Very good. Since that has been taken care of, starting tomorrow you twenty will be stripped of all status. Within Wolf Heart City, I am sure there are many Clan members who need help with tasks. Perform all tasks you''re given with honesty for 1 whole month. Prove your loyalty not only to me, but also the people of the Clan who put their lives in your hands." Waving them off, Sin turned around looking at Zenith. "Starting tomorrow you are the combat instructor of our clan. I want you to start training all the children in Martial Arts and various techniques. For the children who work hard, regardless of status. I will personally teach them one on one also." "After this war with the Beast Men I realized, I am not yet strong enough to protect everyone''s lives who believe in me. I cannot stop every threat as a one man army, we desperately need warriors who can take control of the battlefield with their own might. I cannot be here in Wolf Heart City all the time, I also cannot leave my people vulnerable to enemy attacks. Thus starting tomorrow, everyone 10 years and older is to be brought to the Purgatory Boot Camp." Kneeling down on one knee respectfully "It shall be done my Wolf King, thank you for the honour and trust in me!" Walking over and grabbing Zenith by the hand. "Don''t give me this bullshit. We are brother''s who''ve trained together, and raided enemy encampments." Thanking Sin once again, Zenith replied "While it is true that we are brothers, respect and status must be made known Sin. You''re now the Wolf King, and I know you hate these fancy titles and shit but, it builds morale for everyone seeing their Wolf King to return respect, and be able to communicate with your people. This is something that must be done brother." He sighed to himself "So be it, however, in private do not give me any of this Wolf King bullshit. No matter the status, in private and on the battlefields. We are brothers who will live together, and die together!" Sin clasped wrists with Zenith. "Now go rest and do whatever you need to prepare for tomorrow. You have my full permission to access whatever resources you need, in order to ensure the success of the training. Also make sure there are no divides between the children, I do not want something like a caste system to form in my backyard. Everyone is equal no matter their status!" "It shall be done brother!" He replied, then leaving to prepare. Sin coughed up a mouthful of blood, as his wounds had reopened during the battle. Merala ran towards him, providing support for Sins body. "Stupid husband! You had just woken up from a coma, and reopened all your wounds. What the fuck were you doing!" A smile graced Sins face, touched by Meralas love and care towards him. "Claiming my position as alpha in the tribe." His smile widened as he replied. Angered by his foolish behaviour, Merala punched Sin in the stomach. A piercing scream of pain left Sins mouth "You deserved that! Now let''s go home husband. I''ll cook supper for you, while you go and clean your body up. You reek to high heaven." Merala teased, playfully pinching her nose. Lifting his own arm he took a whiff of the foul smell emitting from his armpits "Fuck me! That''s rank!" The First Contact Two weeks have gone by peacefully, the elders have been performing well. Many of the fighters, and civilians were starting to ''truly'' respect the elders, not because of status, but because of their efforts they''ve made to help. Although it was an order from Sin, everyone began to approve of them. Zenith had started the training of all the children, during the process, Sin had recommended Zenith to implement a ''reward all and punish all'' system. With the goal in mind, the children would all work hard, and become a single unity. Eventually forgetting about the massive divide of the nobles, and the peasants mentality which had grown amongst the clan. At the end of every week, Sin would put to test what they''ve learned, and what they can improve on. Even going as far as teaching his [Blood Dragon Sword Methods] and other combat techniques. The children were all like sponges, absorbing all the knowledge and improving at incomparable speeds. After having found some time to himself, Sin reviews the system logs waiting for him after his fight with Alarune. [Congratulations! Your Basic Destruction body has successfully upgraded to Intermediate Destruction Body. +10 points to physique] [Congratulations! You have unlocked the first stage of the curse blocking your road of cultivation. You can now level up through levels 1 to 50. Unlocking conditions: Unknown. Debuffs: Triples the amount of experience required to level up.] [Congratulations! Your Soul Weapon is in the process of creating a Spirit. Evolution Requirements: Feed the sapling spirit your Sword Qi.] [You have accumulated a total of 15,374,287 experience points. You have leveled up through levels 1 to 9.] [You have been awarded 90 stat points] [You have been awarded 50,000 Merit Points.] [Warning! Your body, meridians, organs, muscles have been severely wounded. You can only display 10% of your full combat power.] After reading through all the logs, Sin feels a mixture of happiness and sadness. He was always curious why he didn''t get experience from his kills. Now it was made clear, and it frustrated him. His subconscious had been hinting at hidden dangers lurking in the waters of [Desolate Kingdom.] With an extreme state of urgency, Sin had been training like a madman, every night he would summon all 40 clan elders, sparring against them all in groups. Under the pressure of various combat styles, weapon masteries, and combination techniques. Sin had been using this time to refine his [Blood Dragon Sword Methods.] After the fight against Arkus, and the other elders, Sin had gained insight on how to combine different paths of [Blood Dragon Sword Methods] into one. This had also been improving his usage of Sword Qi. In doing this, Sin had been nurturing the Spirit for his Soul Weapon. Sin had been sitting cross legged doing mental training, fighting against previous and present opponents. Sin had been interrupted during the session, he had been in the center of the training grounds. There was an inactive portal there, since no one had known what it was used for, Sin had taken the surrounding area as his training field. It had suddenly erupted, with blue and white light flashing forming a cyclone inside of it. Having his interest piqued Sin approached it, to his shock he could smell the scent of the curry his mom would make him. Thinking to himself whether this were a trap, or just mere coincidence. A voice pierces through the portal stunning Sin. "Sin It''s Zen, I do not have much time to explain the situation. So you''re just going to have to accept it for as it is now. I am sending you over various things you would''ve requested from me." Afterwards big black garbage bags had landed in front of him in piles. "You can relax and do whatever you need to over on your end. Your family is in good hands, and everyone from the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team is here. There is no way any harm will fall upon your family, with all of us brothers and sisters here." Having much to ask, Sin stops himself as he thanks his brother. "Thank you Zen, if it weren''t for you and everyone else. I would truly be worried sick about my family." After saying his piece Sins father had replaced Zen. "My son, there is not much you can say within just 2 minutes. However, we all know your doing something amazing over there. Your mother and I are proud of you son, keep doing what you''re doing and believe in yourself. No matter what you''re doing, trust your heart!" Sins mother had pushed her husband out of the way. Sobbing incessantly his mothers choked words enter through the portal. "My handsome and mighty son..... Mother misses you so much, every night I worry about you. Just 3 weeks ago, I could feel it as if your life vanished. I couldn''t believe it, my son is a monstrous existence and nothing can take you out easily. I don''t know what enemies you''re fighting over there, but never be reckless like that again!" Sins heart ached, hearing his mother''s concern and choked voice. Sin pushes his hand through the portal, feeling the resistance pushing back against his hand. Sin had clenched his left hand into a fist, raining fists down onto it rocking it left and right. Spider web like cracks spread out beneath the portal. Feeling the resistance flutter for a minute, Sin empowers his body with Mana pushing through the portal. Arriving through the portal to the other side was not without a price. Appearing back in his house, Sins body had hundreds of lacerations and cuts appear on it. Dying the carpeted floor below in his own blood.If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. Wrapping his arms around his mother, Sin hugs her tightly. "You don''t have to worry mother, your son won''t be stubborn like that again." Sin had clasped wrists with Zen, and all the other brothers and sisters from the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team. Many had things they wanted to say, but knowing the short time frame they held it back. Seeing this Sin takes his shirt off, pointing towards his neck where the necklace once used to hang. "Don''t worry you guys, I have broken through the cage I created for myself. Truth be told, I was a foolish man loving someone so much only to not receive the love back. I only realized that when I was close to dying." Feeling the depressive atmosphere that once surrounded Sin disappeared. His comrades in arms, mother and father let out sighs of relief. Stepping forward and patting Sin on the shoulder, his father says. "A man that can love someone so much, is not a weakness. It in turn is a strength, it proves your loyalty and the kind of man you are. But I must say, I am happy you finally let go of those scars in your heart. It truly was making you a recluse son." Smiling warmly Sin hugs his father, mother, and everyone else. "It has been nearly 2 minutes everyone, I better head back before I lose my chance to." Walking towards the portal, Zen had been fighting internally over a matter. Calling out from behind. "Sin wait! There''s something I think you should know." Turning around and looking at his brother in arms. "What is it Zen?" Gritting his teeth Zen replied "Sabrina..... She is alive." Stunned Sin stands there motionless, eventually a smile had formed on his face. "Thank you brother, I am happy to hear she is alive, I do not know how she is. But I do know there is no reason for us to see each other. Let bygones be bygones and nothing else." Walking towards the Portal, Sin turns around one last time. "I love you all, please tell the little ones that uncle Sin loves them. Next time I will bring presents, and delicacies back with me." Sin smiles confidently to everyone. "Well I am off now, take care everyone I''ll be back soon." Punching a hole into the portal, Sin appears back into the Purgatory Boot Camp in the nick of time. If delayed for a second longer, he would have been left floating in an unknown part of the galaxy. Wiping off the sweat that appeared on his forehead. Feeling rejuvenated after seeing his family doing well, Sin makes his way over to Zenith. "Summon all the clan elders, you need to be there also. I have things for you all to read and implement in training. From tomorrow onwards, everyone in the clan will be training. The women that are pregnant, are not expected to participate unless they want to. The elderly, and the ones with disabilities, they''re not expected to pursue the training, but also not turned away from it if they insist to do it." Zenith gets down on one knee "Yes Wolf King it will be done!" Standing back up and flashing away to summon all the clan elders. Sin is left with all the children staring at him. "Alright children, you can all go home for lunch early." Sin declares, while pulling out various snacks from his pockets. "You''ve all been improving, and supporting each other. That is what it means to be equals, no one above you and no one below you." All the children run up to Sin grabbing their snack. All of the children gather around and thank Sin. "Thank you great Wolf King!" All the children run away laughing, the majority of them continuing their training routines against each other on their way home. Seeing the children run off, A bright smile rises upon Sins mouth. "This is what I am fighting to protect in this world. Eventually I will have my own children to protect and care for, just as much as I do these kids." After waiting for close to half an hour, all the Elders arrive with Zenith in the lead. Looking at the clan Elders Sin points towards the black garbage bags behind him. "There are books of military tactics, theories on energy control, various martial arts, as well as video projections. I want all of you to grab a book that catches your interest, read it and switch books with each other. From today onwards, everyone in the whole clan will begin training. With the exception of the elderly, the disabled, and pregnant women. However, if they ask of their own free volition, they are not to be turned away." Many thoughts race through the elders minds present. Sin sees the struggle within "You do not have to worry about food and resources. Zenith, Merala and myself will scour the areas gathering food and various resources. During this period of training, everyday everyone will go out in teams of 25 people. There are plenty of areas teeming with wild beasts, bandits and so forth. Also from this point in time onward, I will be teaching everyone my exclusive [Blood Dragon Sword Methods.]" Arkus walks to the front of all the elders, fighting spirit burning within his eyes. "Wolf King Sin, the technique you used to defeat me and 19 other elders in a Mana combination formation. Is that also related to your exclusive technique?" Nodding his head "Yes it is, but it is part of the Water Path. My [Blood Dragon Sword Methods] has the basic techniques, training exercises, and 6 paths total to focus on. The Water path, Sky path, Earth path, Fire path, Spirit path, and Life path. To truly master [Blood Dragon Sword Methods] you must combine all 6 paths. When you do, you will enter the Conquerors path." "I would like to make this crystal clear right now. There will be no dividing factions in my clan, the so called ''nobles'' will be partnered up with the non nobility." The six elders present that are part of the noble faction grumble in complaint. One of them step forward to represent the group. "Wolf King, I beg you to change your decision. We were deemed nobility in the capital city for our contributions." Flashing in front of the elder who had talked back. Sin slaps the man across his face, sending him skidding through the ground backwards. Appearing behind him, Sin places his hand on the back of the elders head, and smashed downwards into the ground. Blood flies out of the pit that the elders head has claimed home. Placing one foot on the back of the elders head, and looking at the other 5 noble elders. "Truly, I am not a hard man to work with. However, all of you make it so that I have to be a hard man to work with. This is my house now, if any of you have complaints. Raise your fists and let''s talk about it personally!" Seeing the viciousness Sin had used to quell the fire, all the noble elders back off with their heads hung in shame. Sin spits on the elders body beneath his feet. "If I say black is white, black is white. And if I say white is black, white is black! There are no noble families in my clan, there are only people of equal status. Until the day all of you learn that, I will be personally training the 6 of you until you learn your motherfucking place!" "All of you are dismissed. Let this be a warning to everyone present. We are all allies and of the same clan, and most important of all we are human! We all bleed the colour red, we cry the same tears, we love with our hearts the same, and we care with our hearts the same. Remember that and if you don''t, I will make sure all of you will damn right remember it to the fucking grave!" Midnight Mark The next day staying true to his words. Sin had brought all 6 noble elders out for ''light sparring'' and brutally beat them until their eyes looked like pandas. Often times Sin would shit talk to the elders, the more mad they got, the wider the grin on his face spread. Sins favourite phrase became "Are you that inexperienced with your sword? That''s a shame, I feel bad for your wives." After hearing that single line, all the elders as if enraged bulls spiked with viagra went mad. Which brought even more humiliation their way. "Are you exhausted already? Come on men it has only been 4 minutes. It''s no wonder your wife hasn''t had an orgasm!" Having spent all morning ''training'' with their Wolf King. The elders were exhausted physically, mentally, and emotionally. They started talking amongst themselves in passionate fury. "Mother fucking Wolf King! How dare he treat us nobles like this. If we were back in the capital city, he would have to tread carefully around us. An insignificant little worm like him dares to humiliate all of us? Have any of you thought about how we can exact revenge?" The other 5 elders sit there in silence, one even began to shake in fright at the thought of doing so. Seeing this the lead elder was infuriated. "You bunch of fucking pussies! All of you had hard cocks talking shit behind the Wolf Kings back. But when push comes to shove, you go limp. It''s no wonder your wives are left unsatisfied!" Hearing the remark the others grind their teeth in fury. Adonis had finally talked for the group. "It is not that we are pussies. We have truly let the title of nobility go to our minds. You should be thankful our Wolf King hasn''t killed us yet. All of us have done many misdeeds since becoming nobles. I''m truly ashamed I had once been apart of your group." Adonis had walked over to Sin. Seeing Adonis come over and bow to him Sin raised his eyebrows. "Hello esteemed noble, how may this one of insignificant status help you?" Hearing the ridicule in Sins voice, Adonis replied back to Sin. "Thank you for your mercy Wolf King, I apologize for my rude behavior the other day. I hope you will excuse it, and truly train me in your [Blood Dragon Sword Methods.] Sin thinks for a couple of seconds to himself before raising his voice. "Are you representing yourself, or the whole group?" Adonis answers back. "I am representing myself. I have come to understand your mercy, I wish to be like my younger years again. This nobility has plagued my mind making me weak." Hearing this a smile appears on Sins face. Raising his hand a force had shot out, bringing Adonis back to his feet. Looking at the man eye to eye, Sin says aloud. "You have indeed made the right decision, if you had truly gone too far down this road. I would have kicked you out of the clan." Looking over in the direction of noble elders. Sin stares at all of them coldly, radiating a spirit suppression that makes all the elders drop beads of sweat. "From today onwards, you will be joining the other elders and watch over the children''s training excursions. You will also have one hour uninterrupted daily to learn [Blood Dragon Sword Methods] from me." Seeing this all the other elders grudgingly stare at the shit disturber of the group. "You completely fucked us Aran! We could''ve been like Adonis, but you had to go and drag us all down. I already told you the power went to your fucking pig head!" The other 4 elders walked away, leaving Aran alone in fury and indignant cursing to himself. "You brown nosing pussies! Fine since you want to treat me like this, I will get my revenge alone!" Going to a corner Aran had imbued a ring on his hand with Mana. After feeling a ''connection'' appear, Aran excitedly convenes some information. "Later in the afternoon, the Wolf God Clan is sending the children out on training excursions. How long would it take for you to arrive with men and kill them?" After a couple of seconds, another voice is transmitted. "We will arrive within four hours. You have done good, make sure you''re not sniffed out before we can take control of the capital city. You will be rewarded appropriately." A cruel smile appears on Arans face "Yes my lord, this subordinate will make sure no one will find out." The connection was cut, Aran regrouped with the other elders. Sin continued beating the elders until he felt they had enough for one day. "All of you are dismissed, tomorrow you will have actual lessons." Relief shot through all elders. But one of them had a creeping suspicion, and then curiously asked. "If we will have actual lessons tomorrow, why were we beat so badly today?" Sin smiles before replying. "I needed a quick way to sober up." Walking away and whistling with a bounce in his step. Sin leaves the Purgatory Boot Camp with a rumbling stomach. "Man I am starved, who knew beating people could make you so hungry?" Seeing Sin walk away, the elders stared on in frustration thinking to themselves. "So we amount to nothing else except for a quick way to sober up?" ------------------------------ Sin opened the door to his house, taking off his combat boots before making his way to the kitchen. When entering the kitchen, Sin had been stunned by a table full of food. Merala was in her chef''s apron, this time fully clothed. Seeing the table full of food, Sin appreciates the spread. Turning around with a plate full of desserts. Merala had seen Sin then she lovingly smiled at him. Walking over and giving Sin a kiss on the cheek Merala says. "Come and sit down husband, lunch is ready and still warm." Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author. After eating his fill, Sin pats his stomach in satisfaction. "I couldn''t take another bite. Thank you for the meal sweety." Gathering all the plates off the table, Sin walks into the kitchen, placing them into a sink full of water. Just as he was about to start washing the dishes, Merala hugged Sin from behind. "How was the training with those ''noble'' elders you were so pissed off about?" A smile appears on Sins face. "Truth be told honey, today I actually just beat them all to help with sobering up. Those spirit drinks you made are phenomenal. I could definitely become an alcoholic drinking them every night." Merala smiles lovingly "I''m glad you enjoy them so much husband. Since there''s still some time before the children go out for training, why don''t I train your ''Sword'' for you?" Merala had already started licking Sins earlobe. Hearing the seduction in Meralas voice, Sin gulps before replying. "Your still a young woman, why must you feel the need to throw yourself at me?" "Isn''t it a women''s duty to pleasure their man?" Merala asked confused. Scratching his head Sin replies. "While it is one of a women''s many duties, you''re still underaged." "Husband you do realize this is [Desolate Kingdom] and not the world you come from right?" "I realize that however, you''re still too young." Pouting in frustration Merala walks away, angrily thinking to herself. "Why do the men from father''s world have to be so damn indecisive." After Merala left, Midnight Reaper had voiced out for the first time in a long time. "Pussy!" Later that afternoon all the children had gone out in groups of 25. Each group was a mix of noble, and non noble children. Sin was currently standing at the front, looking at the future of the Wolf God Clans fighters. "Children listen up. The last couple of weeks that Zenith had been training you all intensively. You have all improved vastly beyond my expectations. I hope you can all remember what Zenith had taught you. No life is above another, and no life is less important than another." The children nod in agreement, being as young as they are. It was very easy to get rid of the "superiority'' mindset, that the noble children had been raised with. "You will be travelling on foot for 1 hour to the Forest Of Lost Souls. Your first mission will be to bring back 1 dead mutant beast each. And your most important order of all is to come back in one piece." "Yes great Wolf King Sin!" The children shout in unison, with raging fighting spirit burning within their youthful eyes. "Very good, now all of you may go for your first training excursion. You have a time limit of 5 hours, excluding the traveling time to bring back 25 dead mutant beasts per group." The children all move out in perfect unison, all of them had been partnered up with who they were comfortable with. Making it easier in the hopes of less casualties happening, compared to teaming them up with another they had never trained with. After thirty minutes passed, Sin summoned Arkus, Adonis, Merala, and Rein. "As the children are out on their first excursion. I cannot guarantee their safety alone. I would be appreciative if you could follow the groups, but remain hidden so they don''t know there is protection." The group reassured Sin the children will be protected well. Before leaving Zenith had arrived. "Sin we need to talk about elder Chrom. He has been acting strange, I feel there is something off about him since Sirius passed." Patting Zenith on the shoulder as he walks by. "Kill Chrom the moment he leaves the clan." Sin whispered in Zeniths ears, continuing on to catch up with the others. Four hours passed uneventfully, the children had killed their respective mutant beasts. Many had also taken the initiative to kill more, practicing the combat techniques they''ve been learning. What surprised Sin the most, many of the children were able to proficiently perform his [Nine Life Steps.] While Sin was quietly protecting the children, he felt a sudden killing intent erupt 5 miles away. Sin rushed over immediately after running full speed for five minutes he had arrived at the scene. Seeing the bloody scene in front of his eyes. A black robed women was stepping on the head of a child. "Aren''t you just a pathetic little boy, while all the others fought to protect your life. You had run away in terror, It''s no wonder you nobles are so pathetically weak." Unhooking her dagger from her waist, the women twirls it around on her finger tips. "You won''t even feel a thing little boy." The women mercilessly stabs down the dagger into the child''s head. Before she had ended the life beneath her, she angrily shouted out "who dare-" A open palm found its place in the middle of her abdomen. A baleful black flame pillar gushed out of her back. The child weakly looks up, after seeing Sin he had burst out into tears. "Wolf King I''m sorry I abandoned Ryan, Jack, Ben, Ashton, and everyone else. They fought for their lives, and I let them all die!" Kneeling down and patting the child on his head. Sin rubs his head before asking. "What is your name young one?" "Lan" the child was able to get out through his sobs. "Let me ask you this Lan. Are you willing to redeem yourself?" Lan looks confused st Sin. "You''re not going to kill me?" Smiling Sin replies "Of course not, now answer me this. Are you willing to redeem yourself?" "Yes Wolf King! They protected me because I am a nobles child. I don''t want to feel this weak, and painful feeling of losing friends ever again!" Telling Lan to jump up onto his back. Sin rushed back at full speed. Every group of children he passed along the way, he would use his Mana to form a bubble and carry them back with their kills. After 10 minutes Sin had met up with Arkus, Rein, and Adonis. Leaving all the children with them, Sin worriedly asked where Merala was. Adonis replied "Merala is fighting back a man, protecting her group." "I want all of you to bring the children back to the clan!" Sins voice echoed out as he was already long gone. Locking onto Meralas weak aura, Sin pushed his body to the limit of his full 10% combat power. "Hang in there my wife, I will be there shortly!" Merala had been desperately protecting the children. Multiple deep cuts covered her body, she was just barely keeping her stance, with shaking legs and weak arms. The assailant looks at Merala lustfully "Hoh that ain''t bad for a young woman as yourself. If it weren''t for the brats behind you, I wouldn''t be able to push you around so easily. It''s a shame I would''ve loved to fuck you, but you must die here." Merala sheathed her weapon and closed her eyes. Calming her mind she put one hand on her scabbard, and the other on the hilt of her sword. Just as the attacker was about to cut her down. Merala had disappeared using her own version of [Illusionary Sword] During the past couple of weeks, Sin had been religiously training Merala in [Blood Dragon Sword Methods] and various other combat techniques. Sheathing her weapon with a "Ssshhhh" a shower of blood shoots out from the assailants right shoulder. Just as she had let her guard down, a vicious smile appeared on the assailants face. Before the children had a chance to scream out. The man plunged his sword into Meralas back, before twisting it and nearly dismembering her arm. Turning around quickly, Merala held her sword diagonally. The man followed up kicking her in the abdomen, sending her skidding backwards. "You''ve really pissed me off now girly!" Cleaving his sword downwards to cut Merala in half, the sword came to a sudden halt. Feeling as if he just hit a mountain full force. A voice with rich killing intent bellowed "That''s my Merala!" Sin grabbed the man''s arm tearing it off his body. Dashing forward with his elbow into the man''s gut, Sin then followed up with uppercutting the man, launching him into the sky. Flexing his legs Sin launched himself into the sky. Smashing the man down like a meteor into the earth. Propelling himself towards the ground with his Mana, a black light column appeared behind Sin. Brutally piercing through the man''s chest, and the earth shoulder deep. A terrifying aura wave blows the injured Merala, and frightened children away. Pulling his arm out and rapidly punching down onto the man''s body, multiple "kurchaks" and "snaps" are heard as bones are broken into pieces. Digging his fingers into the man''s wrists, Sin snaps the tendons in half. Forcing a scream of agony out of the man below him. Which just happened to be enough space for Sin to stab a dagger into the opened mouth. Hurling the man up into the sky, Sin gathers his Mana into a magnificent cyan coloured ball in his hand. Throwing it at the man''s body, it blows up in midair creating a massive cyan coloured cyclone. Flesh, blood, and organs rain down from the sky, painting the ground below a crimson scarlet. Rummaging through the meaty chunks, Sin comes across a ring. Unsure of what to do, a prompt showed up in front of his eyes. Storage Ring: Holds up to 250 item slots Looking through the rings storage space, Sin is interrupted by a buzzing sound. An unknown voice emits from an ear piece, undamaged by Sins previous attack. "Come in Charles, multiple squads have been eliminated. What is the situation on your end?" Picking up the ear piece. Sin shifts his vocal cords, perfectly cloning Charles voice. "The situation is clear on my end, there are a bunch of young children hunting mutant beasts in groups. What do you mean then other squads have been eliminated?" The voice cuts through again. "Return to the Azure Dragon Clan immediately. We cannot risk the Wolf God Clan finding out about our raid. We have detected a power surpassing old wolf Sirius." Memorizing the person''s spirit mark. Sin activates [Spirit Devouring Blade] from the [Blood Dragon Sword Methods: Spirit Path] A spiritual blade shoots out of Sins mind, racing to the unknown member of the Azure Dragon Clan. Afterwards Sin crushed the ear piece in the middle of his palm. Within the Azure Dragon Clan, one of the elders in a clan meeting passed out instantly, a portion of his spirit had been severed. Placing the man into a deep coma. After the spiritual attack, an overwhelmingly intense Sword Qi graffitied the wall. Creating the image of a death god, in a black robe with only its eyes showing. Next to it, a line of text appeared beside the graffiti. "Marked by Midnight." Surging Emotions After marking the Azure Dragon Clan with the Midnight Mark. Sin picks Merala up in a princess carry hold, hugging her tightly up to his chest. For fear that if he let go, she would be gone forever. During this time, Sin had been imbuing his Mana to flow into Meralas body to stabilize her situation. While also pulling out the Chaos energy from his heart world. The pain from it made her go ashen white, but she could also feel her cells eagerly devouring the energy. Sin looks into Meralas eyes. "I am sorry for being late my wife." Merala looks into Sins apologetic eyes "Don''t worry husband, what matters is that you made it in time. The children are safe and sound, and I am still alive. That is what matters is it not?" Kissing Merala on her forehead affectionately. "Have a good rest my wife." Merala then drifts away into sleep exhausted, but comfortable in her husbands embrace. Sin then brings all the children back to the Wolf God Clan. In total there were 24 deaths, besides Lan from the group he was in. The whole time Lan hung his head in shame and pain. He ran away, abandoning his friends to save his own life. However, Sin had taken matters into his own hands. After arriving back home safe and sound. Sin pulls Lan to the side in private. "I do not blame you Lan, as a child you are not the one to be blamed. The one to be blamed is your parents. No life is above another, and no life is less important than another. Your parents have failed in this aspect. From tomorrow onwards, if you TRULY wish to redeem yourself. Meet me in the Purgatory Boot Camp training grounds by 5 in the morning." Lan hesitates for a minute before replying. "My parents are going to be against this." Waving his hands nonchalantly "You''re the first disciple I am taking. Do you think your parents are still going to be against it?" Lans eyes lit up like sparklers in the night sky. "I am your first disciple? But I do not deserve to be after my selfish actions." Kneeling down on one knee, and patting Lan on the shoulders, Sin looks into Lans eyes. "Lan I do not expect you to understand this at your age. But I know you will understand when you''re older. A man is responsible for all of his actions, your guilt and grief is understandable. However, if you cannot take responsibility for your actions, your a pathetic excuse of a man." Lan nods his head in agreement. "Thank you Wolf King, I will be at the Purgatory Boot Camp training grounds on time tomorrow morning." Pulling out a holographic device from his pocket, Sin places it into Lans hands covering and covering it. "This is the Water, Sky, and Fire path of [Blood Dragon Sword Methods] protect it well Lan." Quickly placing it in his pocket, Lan bows to Sin. "Thank you master, I promise to never disappoint your trust in me." Ruffling Lans hair, Sin walks out of sight before disappearing entirely. Lan runs back to his home, barging into the doors excitedly. Lans mother called out "Supper will be ready in 15 minutes sweety." Lan shouts back "Thanks mom!" Booking it into his room, Lan places the holographic device in his pillow case. After taking a quick bath, and going down to the dinning room for supper. Lan confidently announces to his parents. "The Wolf King wants to take me as his first disciple." Lans parents both stop eating immediately, shocked to heaven and back. Lans fathers brows furrows, asking in a serious tone. "Are you sure the Wolf King would like to take you as his first disciple?" Lan nods his head "Yes father, the Wolf King approached me himself." Thinking for a minute, Lans father asks "Do you wish to be his disciple my son?" Clenching his small hands into fists, with a wild determination lit in his eyes Lan responds. "Yes I wish to become the Wolf Kings disciple. Today while we were out on our training excursion, I abandoned my friends when an unknown assailant attacked us. My comrades, my best friends lost their lives, while I ran away like a coward." Lans father speaks as matter of factly. "And as they should, your a nobles child. They should be proud to have given their life up for yours." Looking into his father''s eyes, Lan resolutely says. "No life is above another, and no life is less important than another." Leaving his meal half eaten, Lan leaves the table going back up to his room. --------------------------------- When it had become midnight, Elder Chrom snuck out of the Wolf God Clan. Just as he was about to leave the territory, a hand flashed out of nowhere grabbing him by the neck. "You look like your in a rush Elder Chrom, could you explain to your Wolf King, why you feel the need to leave the clan undetected at this time of night?" Gritting his teeth in blazing fury "Put me the fuck down! Isn''t it uncivilized to just grab people by the neck out of nowhere!?" "Sure" Sin lets go of Chroms neck, letting the man fall on his ass. "Oh I''m sorry, you didn''t clarify with how you wanted to be put down."The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Grumbling in frustration, Chrom finally answers "I''m going out to hunt for resources, isn''t that what you, Adonis, Merala, and Rein are doing?" Rubbing his fingers against his beard pondering. "Well aren''t you a good example. But again i''d like to question, why do you see it fit to do so at midnight?" "Does it matter why I''m doing it at midnight?" "It does, now stop fucking the bush and answer me Chrom!" "It''s peaceful to kill at night?" Sin slaps Chrom across the face without notice. "What the fuck was that for!?" "Sorry I saw a mosquito on your cheek." Sin chuckles in amusement. "This entire time you''ve been fucking with me!" Chrom points his finger angrily at Sin. Shrugging his shoulders, and clapping his hands nonchalantly. "Well, who knew you had it in you to figure things out so fast?" "Would you stop humiliating me already!?" Chrom was beside himself in anger. Sin decides to stop pissing Chrom off. "Okay, okay, okay. I apologize, so why don''t we talk about this man to man instead?" "Thank you Wolf King." Sin then slapped the other side of Chroms face. "Aw shit, Chrom I''m sorry man. I have something called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, ocd for short. I slapped one side, and it was just killing me not to slap the other side." "YOU MOTHER FUCKER! I''VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR SHIT!" Chrom bellowed rushing towards Sin. Kicking one foot out, Sin trips Chrom before dog piling on him. Placing Chrom into a choke hold "Shhhhhhh, easy now old bull. There''s no need to make things so unsightly. What I mean is, let''s make love not war. Chroms eyes widened up with fear, as he instantly clenched his buttocks after hearing Sins words. Sin then whispered in Chroms ears. "Hey, why did you clench your anus all of a sudden?" A shout of fear erupts out from Chroms mouth. "CAN you please not say something like that when your in the position you are currently in!?" Realization then dawned on Sin. "Your a sick fucker Chrom. Well whatever that''s not the point to all of this." "The real point to all of this is rather simple. Your the mole ordered with taking over my Wolf God Clan, by the Azure Dragon Clan right? I have already taken care of your backer, now all that''s left is to dispose of you." Chroms eyes widened in disbelief, "How did you kno-" Before Chrom could finish a poisoned dagger had already slit his throat. "This dagger should look familiar to you does it not? I happened to loot it after killing a women earlier today." "The Wolf God Clan is doomed." Was all Chrom could say before he started choking on his own blood. Sighing to himself, Sin talks down to Chrom. "It''s a shame that I have to kill you, old man Sirius told me in your younger years, you were a huge heavy weight in the clan. Rest in peace Elder Chrom, every man must choose which path to walk in their lifetime. You just happened to chose one that crossed my bottom line, betrayal! The Wolf God Clan doesn''t need trash like you to act as an elder." Flipping himself off of Chroms body, Sin rotated his body in midair before stomping down on the back of Chroms head, which exploded like a watermelon into hundreds of pieces. Sin then spent the next 8 minutes digging a pit, he then threw what remained of Chroms body into the pit. Covering it back up with the earth, and dirt previously dug up. "Sirius once told me your favourite wine was the Wolf Tears." Opening up a cork and pouring the wine over the ''grave'' created for Chrom. Sin said a prayer he remembered back from Earth, it was meant to shield departed spirit from attacks by corrupted spirits, before being trialed in the heavenly court. After returning to the clan, before going to bed with Merala for the night. Sin decided to clean himself off and freshen up. He proceeded to gather a bunch of already cut firewood. Bringing it to a big black pot that can fit 6 adults in it comfortably. Sin neatly organized the firewood underneath the stand, before lighting it on fire with [Midnight Glory.] Sin then jumped into the pot, enjoying the feeling of his muscles instantly relaxing due to the high heat. Letting out a moan of pleasure "Ahhhh this is the fucking best after a long day!" Closing his eyes, Sin started thinking back upon the memories of his family, friends, nephews, and niece. "You all have made me the man I am today, the man I am today will be the man who protects all of his loved ones." Unknowingly tears had swelled in Sins eyes, before rolling down his face. Sin was suddenly brought back to his senses, Merala had joined him in the bath and was wiping away the fallen tears. Seeing Meralas loving smile in front of him stunned Sin. "How embarrassing for a women to see their man at a low point." Merala sat beside Sin before resting her head on his shoulders. "It''s not embarrassing at all husband. Men are strong, but they are human as well. No matter how strong a man makes himself to be, he can only hold the lid down for so long." Sitting there in silence, both enjoyed each others company. Sin finally decided to open up to Merala. "Back on earth, I had a little sister named Jasmine. I was the worlds proudest big brother, but then that night came about. My little sister was killed in an accident. I would always hear my parents cry night after night, they never shut down and stopped taking care of me. But eventually they declined into bad health, becoming unable to work and take care of their self. During that time, they would starve themselves while I had a full stomach. Jasmine was like a little angel, she brought joy to the world, and then she was taken away from us. At that time I was 13 years old, I dropped out of high school to work and support my family. I don''t blame the world, nor do I dare say I have had the worst life. I have a good family, loving parents, and so many other blessings. It was around that time I met a women named Sabrina, she gave me hope when my eyes saw black and grey everyday. Because I lost my little sister, I got hung up over another women. I loved her for years, gave her the world. But she had stabbed me in the back, I was never good enough. To this day these words continue to stab at my heart. [It''s not like I asked him to fall in love with me. And even if I did give him my love, he''s just a merc who travels from battlefield to battlefield. He''s bound to die one of these days, I do not want to be made a widow with a fatherless child.]'''' After hearing Sins story, Merala had hugged Sin tightly into her embrace. A man''s heart is a stubborn thing, it kicks you when your down. To a man, there''s nothing more painful than loving someone so much, only not to receive the same love back by that very person. And to a older brother, losing a younger sibling you heavily doted on, is the hardest pill to swallow. Wrapping his arms around Meralas waist, Sin tightly hugs Merala into his chest. For fear of losing the one that had healed his heart. Would once again vanish like smoke in a room full of mirrors. Merala wrapped her arms around Sins head, placing it on her chest. "Husband you do not have to worry about losing me. I won''t let your heart be put through so much pain again. When you rid this world of evil, let''s make a great big family together. That way, you will never feel alone." After Sins emotions cooled off, Merala and Sin then went to bed for the night. Normally when Sin would sleep, he would always have dreams of losing his little sister Jasmine. Or holding Sabrina in his embrace, only to watch her slip away. However, tonight was different. Sin didn''t dream, nor did he wake up throughout the night in an emotional mess. Volume 2 Side Story: The Shuras Fury There was once a family, they lived peacefully in the mountains. Within 3 miles was a village, everyday the husband of the family would go to work in the village. At night he would bring back water, salt, wool, needles, pins, pincushions, seam rippers, sewing needles and various other tools. His wife was a tailor, who took requests from the villagers, and the imperial city. In exchange for her services, she was given copper coins, meat, scissors, and ironing boards. Unknowingly the Imperial city they were living under came under attack, the raiders had killed the nobility and taken over. After learning about a beautiful woman, with flawless skills in her trade. The raiders were ordered to capture her, bringing her back to the captain. During the raid, the husband ran back to their little home. His wife was gone, their house was in shambles. There were blood stains on the wooden boards, and his wife''s wedding ring was left behind on top of a note. "If you wish to fight for your wife''s life, you may come to the Imperial city. We will be waiting." Within the husband''s heart, fury erupted like a volcano. What kind of a man were you, if you couldn''t even protect your wife? Could you still call yourself a man, if you can''t even protect your own home? Remembering the treasured Sword that was passed down in his family. It was a heirloom from the emperor of a kingdom lost in the annals of time called [Rising Dragons Kingdom.] The Sword was created from a piece of meteorite, that fell from the sky during the founding stages of the [Rising Dragons Kingdom.] Under an unexplainable miracle, it became a Sword that was forever sharp, it was an immortal blade never dulling. No blood could stain the pristine snow white blade. During the forging process, it was at dawn that the blade had become successfully created, thus the famous blacksmith named it [Dawns Blessing.] Leaving the village with his treasured sword [Dawns Blessing] in hand. He murdered his way into the Imperial city, his rage wild and unkempt while his blood boiled like fast acting poison. Exhausted he marched into the grand hall of the Imperial City, with each step he took. Time seemed to freeze, as an tangible blood red aura swirled around his body. Seeing his wife naked and chained, whip marks on her body. And white fluids sprayed all over her, the man lost his sense of reasoning. He bellowed as his wrath consumed the hallway. "HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY WIFE!" The ground began to rumble, and booming thunder could be heard in the background. His hair grew wild, turning blood red. With [Dawns Blessing] in his hand, he killed every raider that approached him. His sanity was slowly being consumed by the blood lust. Having given up all forms of defense, the only goal in his mind roared like an archaic species "KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!" The man had devastated hundreds, leaving severed bodies in his wake. Huffing and puffing, the leader of the raiders came forward to meet the man face to face. "You are quite the spectacle aren''t you? Well I must say, if I had known kidnapping your wife would bring such a calamity. I wouldn''t have had my men raid your house. However, what is done is already done. Either I live, or you die here today!" Charging at the man in front of him with his blade drawn, both had clashed several times. "Clang Clang Clang Clank, Clang Clang Clang Clank, Clang Clang Clang Clank." After being matched evenly for multiple minutes on end, the raider captain made a weird whistling sound, which echoed throughout the hall. It was then the husband was distracted, by the cries of his wife. His wife was being held up by the hair, begging the raider captain not to kill her husband. "Please don''t kill my husband, I''ll do whatever you want me to do. I''ll be your sex slave, but please don''t kill my husband!" The raider captain took this advantage, to pierce his enemies heart with his sword. Clapping his hands as he walked towards the captive women. "Very good Sarah I am glad you made the right choice. However, you made it too late, look at poor Kelluminati suffering in his own blood. The pitiful man he is, pathetically crawling over to his wife. We simply can''t have that now can we?" The raider captain walked over to Kelluminati, his blade scraping against the floor. "It''s time to end your suffering brother." The raider captain slashed his sword down, dismembering Kelluminatis left, and right arms respectively. Clenching his teeth in pain and fury, Kelluminati looks on weakly, with his head held up by the raider captain. "Brother isn''t it a wonderful sight, watching your pregnant wife get fucked by another man?" The raider began having his way with the women. After he had shot his ''seed'' into the women. The raider mercilessly grabbed a dagger, and stabbed her in the stomach. If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation."Oi captain, I think this bitches child is done for now!" The raider captain laughs out in hysterics. "Kel my foolish younger brother, all of these events happened today because of you. If only Sarah had seen how much of a better man I am than you, none of these events would have transpired today." The raider captain brought his blade up to his younger brother''s eyes. "You won''t want to see what happens next younger brother. I''ll spare you from such a scene." Viciously sliding the blade across his younger brother''s eyes. Blood leaks from Kelluminatis eyes, as the left socket had been severed completely. Seeing the eye roll out, his older brother stomped on it making a wet "squelch" sound. The raider captain calls over to his subordinate. "What kind of a big brother would I be, if I didn''t let the wife and husband say their goodbyes to each other? Let Sarah come over to this dying dog, and say their goodbyes." Letting Sarah go, she had walked weakly over to Kelluminati holding her stomach with tears rolling down her face. Sitting on her knees by her dying husband, using her knees as support, she rested Kelluminatis head. Lovingly stroking her husband''s face, her choked voice made its way into his ears. "I am sorry I couldn''t protect your dream, little Sasha would have loved her father." Kissing Kelluminatis bloodied lips, Sarah is then grabbed by the neck by the raider captain. A moment of silence prevailed throughout the vast hall, before "pitter" "patter" sounds drop onto the floor. Without his vision, Kelluminati couldn''t see anything. But eventually something had rolled over to him, hitting his head and rolling away. "KAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What a bitch she is little brother! Even when her head is severed, the rest of her body still looks so fucking sexy!" Blood tears fall from Kelluminatis remaining eye. Within the spacious hall, a thumping heart beat echoes. Sounding as if a 10,000 pound hammer was striking hot iron. All of Kelluminatis, and Sarah''s blood congregates to Kelluminati, before it seeps through the empty hole of his crushed left eye. Crimson scarlet surrounds Kelluminatis body, as if like a sapling seed. Blood red arms slowly begin growing from the stumps. His eyes begin regenerating at a speed conceivable by the human eye. [Dawns Blessing] had absorbed the remaining blood, and the soul of Sarah''s fetus. Its blade turned a mixture of scarlet red, and pitch black while radiating a savage and brutal aura. A baby''s cry echoes throughout the hall. Picking up [Dawns Blessing] with his blood red arm. A demonic howl bellows out in a massive shockwave, spiderweb cracks appear on the granite floors and walls. The earth quaked, and split apart as lava burst out of the ground. Purple clouds emerged in the sky, as purple-black lightning began striking down on Kelluminatis body. Slashing his sword down with the wailing sound of a baby. The tribulation clouds were split apart, as the gods who initiated the tribulation, their entire clans were wiped out. Kelluminatis eyes reformed, becoming a perfect blood red. Armour created from blood encased his body, while his face remained visible, as white as jade. Kelluminati walked towards his older brother, who had pissed his pants in terror. Raising his hand, a blood red flame enveloped his older brother. "You do not deserve to die Lance! Forever your soul will be continuously suffering in the wrath of my daughters flames!" The flame burned Lances body to ashes, while capturing his soul. Kelluminati slashed his sword down, cleaving the Imperial city in half in a single wave. "This world took my beautiful wife Sarah, and my daughter Sasha away from me. No god had stepped in answering my prayers as I begged, and begged for salvation. The endless galaxies out there, are filled with nothing but utter trash!" Impaling his own body, Kelluminati rips his heart out and crushed it into pieces. While he had brought [Dawns Blessing] to his head. "Devour my soul Sasha! This world shall know the destruction a Shura can leave in its wake!" The blade emitted blood red light, before seeping in through Kelluminatis ears, nose, eyes, and mouth. Entering the space where one''s soul is protected. The blood red light shattered Kelluminatis soul stone. "GREAYARGHHHHHHHHH!" Demonic screams echo out of Kelluminatis mouth. The entire world had been blown up to space dust. A mindless killing machine known as the Shura. Traveled millions of worlds, and galaxies. Wherever the Shura went blood, guts, intestines, and organs would drown the numerous worlds. All life had been extinguished, until the day the Shura arrived at a new world. A young maiden had ran into the Shuras embrace, without any care for her own life. "Kelluminati my husband, it has been a long and lonely 100,000 years without you. Please come back to your senses. I never wished for others to suffer what we have. Please my husband, hear my voice!" The Shura had pierced the young maidens heart with his sword. The young maiden had coughed up blood, splattering all over the Shuras face. The Shuras blood red eyes became a pale blue, before switching between the two colours. The Shura grabbed it''s head roaring in agony, the faint cries of a man''s voice could be heard within. Desperately fighting against the cruel being he has become, Kelluminati managed to force the remaining sliver of his shattered soul awake. Hugging the dying women before him, Kelluminati could no longer cry tears, for he had become a Shura. A being who only hungers for slaughter, and destruction. "I''m sorry my beautiful Sarah. I know that I have committed too many sins, my soul will never get the chance to enter the rebirth cycle. I at least got to see you one last time. That is good enough for me." Kelluminati flew away from the world, flying out into the space of the universe. Like an ignited fuse, Kelluminati self detonated himself. Putting an end to the destruction, and slaughter he caused as a Shura. Sarah had fallen on her back, looking up at the magnificent explosion left by her husband. "I am sorry my husband, you should have never had to suffer such pain in this world. I hope you at least got to feel some sort of ''emotion'' one last time before dying." Sarah''s eyes closed, as a peaceful smile was left on her face. The various galaxies and worlds, would never see the carnage and destruction a Shura would leave behind in its path again. Volume 2 Chapter 1 Dont Start Shit Dont Get Shit Elsewhere, underneath the Azure Dragon clan, the Azure Dragon King watches over the comatose elder. The Azure Dragon King looks to the side indifferently. "Glaze, are you sure there is no cure for the Spirit Devouring Blade?" Glaze replies in fear. "Your majesty, it''s not that there is no cure. The problem lays in the underlying Chaos energy." Azure Dragon King clenches his fists tightly. "And just who the fuck did you teach the Spirit Devouring Blade to?" Glaze diverts his focus of attention. "Do you remember that outsider I told you about? I do not want to believe it, but if Sin has only been here for 4 months time. He is truly a monster, it makes me wonder how many paths he has opened up." "This outsider named Sin, you seem to know him well?" Azure Dragon King curiously asks. "Yes your majesty I do. When I traveled to Earth, I came to know him when he joined my Blood Dragon Mercenary Group. He had incredible potential for a caged human, so I decided to teach him a thing of two." Smashing his fist down, Azure Dragon King smashed the wooden table into pieces "And this is that punk the Demon Lord has ordered to kill on sight. How confident are you in killing him successfully?" Thinking carefully about his answer, Glaze resolutely answers. "I am not even 10% confident I can take the current Sin now. However, with that girl in the laboratory. I am 99% sure of being able to kill Sin." "Very well Glaze, here is your payment in advance." The Azure Dragon King tossed over a pouch full of gold coins. "Thank you your majesty." Glaze catched the pouch of gold coins, bowing respectfully before disappearing in a flash. ----------------------------------- Glaze stands in front of a tub full of crystal clear solution. Inside is the body of a 15 year old girl. Glaze was staring at the girl intently. "In 45 days from now, your job will be to kill your older brother when he arrives in the capital city." The girls eyes opened, revealing one scarlet eye, and the other white as snow. Raising her left hand, rows of pink coloured blades surrounded Glaze forming a pagoda array. Glaze hurriedly took out a flute, and blew an odd note. The girls eyes slowly closed, as her arm falls limp to her side. Sweat began appearing on Glazes forehead. After wiping the sweat away, a stinging sensation is felt near his jugular. Raising his hand and placing it over top, blood started flowing like opened gates of a dam. Glaze then noticed, the girls right hand was curved upwards. A mocking smile was plastered on her face as if taunting him. "Stupid bitch just you wait. I will be the one who has the last laugh." Glaze hurriedly left the room in fear. The girls eyes opened up, as her memories started coming back. "Big brother, please don''t come to the capital city. I will not be in control of myself by that time." Tears streaked down the young girls face, then she had once again fallen asleep. ---------------------- Back at the Purgatory Boot Camp, Sin had prepared the wooden planks in the waterfall. As well as dragging out various equipment, machines, stone balls, and wooden swords. Haunting memories came back to him, as he patiently waited to see if Lans determination was worth teaching. At 6 am sharp Lan had arrived. Sin was pleasantly surprised, after getting up and walking towards Lan, Sin patted Lan on the shoulder. "Yo kid, I''m glad you showed up. I would''ve been disappointed, if the first disciple I wanted to train didn''t have it in himself to show up." Lan got down on one knee respectfully. "Master I want to become a person who can protect his friends. I want to be strong, and protect the people of our clan like you do." Sin appreciated the fire burning within Lans eyes. "Very good, I will guide you to become who you want to be." Throwing over a training vest to Lan, Sin starts to explain its purpose.Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. "This weighs 65 kilograms, when you wear it. Cables made out of Mana will tighten around your muscles, forcing you to learn how to control and contract them at will." Sin then pulled out 128 silver needles, they were 6 inches in length, and 2 inches in thickness. "Turn around Lan, when I count to three. I want you to stop your Mana flow immediately." "One.... two... three!" Lan stopped his Mana flow immediately as directed. After that Sins hands blurred, all 128 silver needles were placed in Lans spine. Feeling an intense itching feeling, Lan went to move his right arm to scratch his back. Before it had even been raised half way, his arm stopped in mid motion. "These needles will help you to gain control over your spine. When you have full control of your spine, you will be able to exhibit bodily control, and power beyond belief." "Now for your warm up, run three laps around the Purgatory Boot Camp. After each lap do 20 push ups, 20 crunches, 20 goblet squats, and then finish off with mountain climber for 3 minutes." Lan nods his head in understanding. He then asked in a questioning tone. "Master, what are goblet squats and mountain climbers?" Sin shows Lan a tutorial on how to do goblet squats, and mountain climber. After making sure Lan understood everything. "Well Lan my boy, this is the fun part for me. But not so much for you." After hearing what Sin had to say, Lan got frightened by his masters tone. "Well master, I think I should start doing my laps." Sin smiles knowingly "that''s a good disciple, I''ll see you shortly." Confused by Sins words, Lan felt something was off. So he decided to skip asking, and got to doing his warm up. After running about 250 meters or so, Sin had appeared and whacked Lan on the back of the head with a wooden sword. "What the hell was that for master!?" Lan yelled in irritation. "Training." Sins wide smile was akin to the devil''s smile in Lans eyes. After finishing the 3 laps, Sin brought Lan to the waterfall Sirius, and Zenith tortured him at previously. "Your goal is to scale the waterfall, jumping from plank to plank scaling the waterfall. During the process, you will be dodging my attacks, fending me off with your [Blood Dragon Sword Methods] and controlling your bodies strength. Step down too hard on a plank and you will fall, step down too light and you''ll also fall off." The morning passed peacefully all the way through the evening. Lan was essentially beat senseless all throughout the day. Struggling as hard as he did, Sin was merciless and kept upping the difficulty. After all, diamonds are made under pressure. Sin brought the unconscious Lan back to his house. After knocking on the door, Sin waited a minute before it opened up. Lans mother greeted Sin with a smile. After taking Lan off from his back, Sin had handed over ointment, and a list of meals for Lan to start eating. Given the difficulty of Lans upcoming training, improper nutrition will only work against him. After leaving and going back to his house. Sin had bumped into Zenith along the way. He was shocked to see Zeniths eyes were just like a pandas. "Zenith brother, did you fall down a flight of stairs?" Sin couldn''t help laughing afterwards. "Aie.... brother I really don''t feel like talking about it right now." Just as Zenith had finished saying that. Rein popped up out of nowhere. "Greetings Wolf King. To answer on behalf of Zenith, he was hitting on elder Maya. Her wife didn''t like that, and she took exception to that." A wide shit eating smile was already plastered on Reins face. "Oh" Sin answered nonchalantly, then his eyes widened in realization. "OH! You got your ass handed to you for chasing after the wrong ''tail'' huh?" Sin was beyond himself in laughter mocking Zenith. "Fuck you Rein! Suck a dick Sin! Both of you can go to hell and get fucked in the ass by Satan!" (1) Zenith marched off with his broken pride held in hand. If it weren''t a women, he would have fought back. But since he was in the wrong, he took the beating like a man. Before Zenith had made it far, Sin had yelled out behind him. "Dont start shit, dont get shit!" After chatting with Rein along the way home, Sin invited him to stay over for supper. Rein politely declined. "Thank you for the offer Wolf King, but my wife is nearing her due date, and I don''t want to leave her alone for long." Sin happily congratulated Rein. "Make sure you invite me over when the baby has been born. Do you need some time off to take care of your wife Rein?" "No that''s quite okay Wolf King. My wife would kick my ass if I were home all day." "Keep me posted about things okay? And when your child is born. I am ordering you to stay home and spend time with your family. You''ve done plenty for the Clan, and I appreciate that. Don''t burn yourself out Rein, the little ones are also a handful. Your wife will be thankful when you''re there helping." "Thank you for your kindness Wolf King." Reins eyes lit up in excitement. "Don''t sweat it Rein, we are all family here. No need to worry about the little things." After splitting paths, Sin entered his house filled with the enticing aroma of food. "Honey, I''m home!" Sin happily called out. Merala shouted out from the kitchen. "Go wash up, supper will be ready shortly husband." After washing up, Sin and Merala enjoyed supper together. During their meal, Sin had brought up something that was bothering him. "You''ve always been cooking for me, but you haven''t had the chance to taste my cooking yet honey." Merala blushed before saying with pride. "Well of course I would cook for you, your my husband. And are you even able to cook? I''m scared the house will go up in flames." A sour taste was left in Sins mouth, Sin had always prided himself of his cooking skills back on Earth. Especially since he was being questioned back by his wife. "Nonsense, of course I know how to cook!" "Yet you haven''t cooked me yet husband." Merala bit her lower lip provocatively. Sin was left stunned before Merala laughed, bringing the dirty dishes to the kitchen. Sin shouted out. "Hey, that doesn''t fit into what we''re talking about here!" "Neither have you husband." Merala teasingly said. "You damn, you know what fuck it!" Sin spoke under his breath. With nothing else to rebut, Merala had excitedly yelled out from the kitchen. "One for wife, zero for husband!" Volume 2 Chapter 2 The Chefs Revenge Throughout the whole night, Sin didn''t sleep. He and Merala discussed various ways to train Lan. Merala was given a fright, Sin had come up with many unconventional means. It seemed as if Sin truly took joy in the upcoming torture, that Lan was about to be put through. Merala questioned the methods Sin had come up with. "Husband these methods, they seem a little too much don''t they?" Merala was already feeling guilty for Lan, she had been adding more oil to the fire. Sin smiled "Not at all my wife, Lan said he wants to become someone like me who can protect the clan. Of course I''m not going to let him down." "And do you truly feel cutting the string, when Lan has scaled up half a mountain is conventional?" "Of course it is, commander Glaze did it to me during my training, that son of a bitch. It was the first time I saw him smile in the 6 years I knew him." Merala was stumped. "It sounds like you''re taking out your pent up aggression towards Lan." "Well would you look at that, it''s time to go and wait for the little guy." Sin left with a great big smile on his face. Before Sin had left the room Merala called out. "Invite Zenith over for supper tonight, you''re in charge of cooking." Sin rubbed his hands gleefully thinking to himself. "Perfect timing I just got secret of singapore paste, sriracha and yellow carolina reapers." Sin hadn''t waited long before Lan had arrived, despite the weariness in his eyes. There was still dedication and resolution to become stronger. Lan respectfully bowed to Sin. "Good morning master." "Today we are going to have a change of venue. For your warm up today, it is simply to keep up with my pace." Sin and Lan took off over the course of one hour, they had traveled over 45 kilometers. Sin figured out a way to ''spice'' things up. When Lan was first unsuspecting of it, Sin had already gathered the wind and sky essence. Flicking his wrist downwards, a emerald blade powered by the wind, slashed down towards Lan. Lan dodged to the right, before slashing out with his own weapon. Seeing Lan take care of the situation so well. Sin sent down 8 wind swords to control Lans movements. Lan panicked this time, after managing to deflect the majority of the attacks. Lan made an incorrect body movement, with the needles still in his spine. He had a momentarily awkward moment as if paralyzed in place. The last attack left a deep cleave in Lans breastplate. There was a shallow cut trailing down his shoulder. After a hour of torture, Lan had countless cuts across his body. But what surprised Sin the most, Lan was starting to get accustomed to the attacks. No longer was he using his own Sword to combat them. He had began imitating Sin, eventually he had managed to form the wind into swords. Fighting back against Sins, Lan had managed to tread through the barricade, leaving a hefty cut along Sins forehead. Applauding Lan in surprise, Sun couldn''t help but to praise. "Not bad, not bad at all Lan. It would seem you''ve got natural affinity with the Sky path." "Thank you master, without your sudden attacks. I''d still be about a week away from grasping control of the wind." Sin stared in shock at Lan. Seeing his masters stares, Lan was all smiles and pride. Sin and Lan had finally arrived at their destination. Lan looked up at the 50,000 meter tall mountain. There were many ropes, and iron hoops hanging from it. Seeing how they were all evenly placed. Lan started getting a bad feeling about today''s training. "Lan take off your clothes, except for your pants. The best way to feel the raw elements, is for your body to get accustomed to the sensation. Making it easier to focus, harness, and unleash the elements power." Seeing as Sin had already undressed, Lan followed suit with the thought process. "Nah master couldn''t be that cold hearted. He''s so genuine with all the other children and his wife." Sin imbued his feet with Mana, then started running up the mountain. Sin yelled downwards to Lan. "Come on slow poke, if I make it up before you do, your trainings difficulty will be increased." Lan then followed suit up the mountain, when he lost his balance and grabbed for a iron hoop. Emerald wind had cut the hoop in half, Lan began fearing for his life. They had scaled the mountain about 20,000 meters. Seeing as the ground was approaching faster and faster, Lan began getting desperate. Right as he was about to become a blown up meatpie on the ground, Lan had forced the wind essence into forming a pair of wings. Hastily flapping the wings at top speed, Lan soared into the mountains face full force. Spreading his arms, and legs out. Holding onto the mountain face with his Mana. Lan was gasping for air, with sheer terror in his eyes. Seeing Sin calmly fly in front of him without any wings, Lan finally got pissed off. "Fuck you master! Your actions are immoral!" Sin smiled naturally. "Alright it''s okay your alive, that''s all that matters. Besides don''t be angry at me, do you think without the fear of approaching death, you would''ve condensed your [Sky Wings] so fast?" Lan was still fuming, so he yelled out in indignation. "What if I had truly fallen to my death!?" "Your parents would be grieving tonight." Sin said with a straight face and no shame. In the distance predators of the sky spotted Lan and Sin. Feeling the killing intent lock onto the both of them. Sin smiled before patting Lan on the shoulders. "Do your best my disciple, you would do well to remember this. The sky is your blade, the wind is your sheathe. Like a solitary sword splitting the mountains in half, spread your wings with pride!"Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. Sin then shot off into the distance, leaving Lan with the company of hungry hunters. Seeing as they were fast approaching, Lan dodged the incoming claws. Emerald covered his hand, before slashing down. A emerald green blade wave shot out, cutting the attacker cleanly in half. A sharp talon stabbed into Lans chest, carrying him into the air. Seeing as their pack leader had grabbed the food, the minions had surrounded Lan with hungry looks in their eyes. Seeing as Sin was nowhere to be within sight. Lan calmed his mind, remembering what his master had said. Lan began controlling the wind, forming a tight emerald net of spinning swords around him. Each hunter that got too close, was killed on the spot. Storing up the essence of the wind into his palm. A emerald green sheathe began forming, then a clear white pristine Sword with flowing clouds, and blinding rays of sunlight formed. Sweeping his Sword out horizontally. A massive emerald vortex formed, cutting off the minions from their leader. Lan then stabbed the sword down, bouncing off the clouds, emerald swords formed underneath the minions. Impaling through their anus to their mouth, they dropped to the ground. Seeing it''s minions be so effortlessly slaughtered, the leader of the pack was enraged. It sped upwards cutting through the clouds. Reaching the boundary that it could no longer pierce through. The leader somersaulted midair, throwing Lan downwards with all its might. Lan controlled the wind and stopped himself mid throw. Lan flapped his wings appearing in front of the leader, with both his thumbs out. Lan stabbed them through the leaders temples, ripping them out, Lan swung his sword as two vortexes appeared. Tearing the leader in half. Lan then let himself descend half way, feeling the wind on his bare body, and the boundlessness of the sky above. Lan hovered cross legged, tasting the essence of the bare elements striking him. Sin had found a spot far away to watch Lan. Sin couldn''t help but appreciate his first disciple is going to turn into a monstrous existence. Just before Sin was going to fly over to Lan, he felt his heart suddenly throb. Grabbing his chest, Sins breathing became ragged. A feeling of weakness started spreading out, as his body started growing increasingly heavier. "Fucking Alarune! It seems I''m going to have to speed things up and go to the capital city sooner then originally planned." After arriving back at Lans location, Sin continued on with Lans training. Sin would go out and purposely piss off mutant beasts, bring them back for Lan to deal with. Besides having Lan learn the essence of wind, Sin was slowly cutting all the ropes, and metal hoops. Forcing Lan to rely on his Sky Wings, and the essence of wind. Sins favourite past time during all of this, became kicking Lan into a endless hoard of land, and aerial mutant beasts. Lan would often times scream out "That''s unethical master, you''re going to be the reason I die!" But Sin wasn''t having any of it. Getting down on both knees, with his hands cupped up towards the sky, Sin started a prayer which infuriated Lan. "God, I pray you watch over your child, as I continuously throw him into the wolf''s den." The rest of the day passed smoothly, Lan was able to remain conscious after today''s training. But extremely exhausted, Sin carried Lan back, dropping him off at home. ------------------------------- Sin began making his way over towards Zeniths place. Knocking on the door, Sin waited a few moments before Zenith opened the door. "Yo brother, Merala wanted me to invite you over for supper, I am cooking tonight." Zenith smiled brightly. "You a chef? Pei you''re most likely gonna burn your house down, well whatever I''ll go to watch the beautiful flame you create." Sin didn''t show any frustration on his face, while his thoughts raged inside. "How dare your skinny white ass judge my cooking!" After arriving back at home with Zenith, Sin called out of habit. "Honey I''m home, I will start cooking supper shortly." There was silence, Sin walked into the living room. Merala was busy, trying to figure out how to hook up the playstation 4, she was beyond herself in fury. (1) Merala shouted "WHO would ever make such a damnable thing! This is fucking stupid!" Walking over and rubbing Meralas back, Sin smiles. "It''s okay honey it''s not very hard, let me take over and then I will start supper." After hooking up the cords Merala struggled so much with, Sin pulled out [Sekiro Shadows Die Twice] Laughing evilly to himself "Let''s hear her curse away." Sin walks into the kitchen, taking Meralas chef apron and putting it on himself. He looked down at it seeing "Bad Bitch Chef" written on it. Sin took out the Shrimp, shelling and deveining them. After that he took out a meat beater, placing down parchment paper on the counter, chicken breasts in the middle, and another piece of parchment paper over top. Sin then began beating his meat. Afterwards he chopped up red, yellow bell peppers, green onions, bean sprouts, and shredded some carrots with a grater. Sin poured some extra virgin olive oil into a frying pan. Afterwards fully cooking the chicken breast, Sin cut them into bite sized pieces, then moved onto putting the shrimp in the frying pan. Seasoning with salt and pepper, Sin cooks the shrimp for 5 minutes before removing them from the pan. After that in a small bowl, sin mixed together soy sauce, cornstarch, lime juice, brown sugar, and some red pepper flakes. Pulling his attention to the side he heard Merala scream. "Fuck this stupid ass serpent." Zenith chipped in. "Hey you already died 7 times. Let me have a shot." "Fuck you what is mine is mine, what is husbands is also mine!" Sin smiled happily at Meralas anger before returning to cooking supper. Throwing the vegetables into the wok in groups one by one, Sin then dumped the chicken and shrimp into the wok. Afterwards he poured the sauce he mixed earlier, cooking it into the vegetables, shrimp, and chicken. Just as he had plated the food, Sin heard a loud victory cry emerge from the living room. Merala exclaimed in joy. "Where''s your head now bitch ass!?" And then the most piercingly loud blood curdling scream Sin had heard in his life was heard. "Fuck this stupid piece of shit ape! How dare he come back to life after I cut that ugly cunts head off! Husband this game is full of shit! How the fuck is that possible!?" "CRACK!" Merala threw the controller against the wall. Zeniths laughs were heard followed by his mocking. "Come on Merala, how did you not see that fucking thing twitching!" Sin internally screamed. "That was a 75 dollar controller....." (2) After bringing the plates of food out to the table, Sin saw the controller in multiple pieces before sighing to himself. "Supper is ready, come and get it!" Merala was the first to sit at the table impatiently waiting to dig in. But before that, she didn''t forget to give Sin a kiss praising him for the colours and aroma. Even Zenith had nothing but good to say in his own twisted way. "Damn bro, you make an awesome house bitch!" All three had begun eating their meal. Remembering Zeniths disrespect towards his cooking earlier on. Sin had made Zeniths plate extra spicy, adding in Secret Of Singapore paste, and replaced the yellow bell peppers, with the yellow carolina reapers. And in addition, adding more sriracha then Merala and himself had combined in their plates. After Zenith had eaten a quarter of his plate of food, he was sweating profusely. Sin could swear he heard the noise of a steam whistle coming from Zenith. Merala asked concerned. "Are you feeling alright Zenith?" Zenith tried to hide his embarrassment. "Yeah yeah, I''m doing fine. Do the either of you find it hot in here, or is it just me?" Sin answered right away "Well it certainly isn''t you that''s making it hot in here." "Merala followed up with "Nah, it''s pretty comfortable in here." Zenith asked in shame "Can I try a bite from your plate Merala?" Merala as the food glutton she is, was about to deny while calling Zenith a dirty pig fucker. However, Sin lightly hit her foot under the table. Merala begrudgingly agreed while tears formed in her eyes, as she watched Zenith take away the last shrimp on her plate. After eating it Zenith exclaimed. "What the hell! Why is my food so fucking spicy, but yours is well balanced." From the corner of his eyes, he saw the smirk widen on Sins face. Zenith flew into a rage, pointing his finger at Sin. "Fuck you Sin, your the one who fucked with my plate of food!" Sin shrugged nonchalantly. "And did you learn anything?" Zenith was dumbstruck, without any answers to give. "Never disrespect my cooking again!" Sin glared daggers at Zenith. Volume 2 Chapter 3 Scarlet Lust When Lan first got to the Purgatory Boot Camp, it was silent outside. However, when he walked in he heard music blasting, and his master rapping along. "Running from cops through the mother fucking 7th. Six bodies dropped and nobody went to heaven. Block stay hot when I''m creeping with my weapon. Gotta keep the pills in me all because i''m under pressure." [Suicide Boys] After Lan stared in confusion at Sin, emerald blades fell from the sky towards him, leaving a cut across his forehead. Sins voice echoed throughout the Purgatory Boot Camp. "You never know what kind of a situation you will face, thus you must be prepared for anything and everything!" Sin raised his hand, and a forest of pillars erupted out of the ground. After clenching his hand closed, all light disappeared leaving the surrounding pitch black. "I know I''d hurt you deserted you. And now I see it clear. I pulled you closer, tighter. ''Cause I knew you''d disappear. I just can''t compromise, apologize. There''s nothing you can say. We both knew it would always end this way." [Five Finger Death Punch] Rain drops began falling, continuing until it became a heavy rain shower. Sins weapon thrummed and hummed, reacting to the raging emotions in the song. Each raindrop contained sharp Sword Qi, Lan was careless as one rain drop skid across his eye. Leaving a vertical gash from his eyebrow, to the arch of his nose. Sin began combining the Water and Wind path together, the wind blew rapidly freezing the water turning into ice. The ground soon became slippery, Lan was falling left and right and center. Whenever Lan fell ice shards would descend, and wind vortexes would keep him in place. Underneath Lan sword light would devour him, leaving various cuts across his bare upper body. Sin was like the conductor, the music he played would change his elemental paths. And his Sword Qi would interchange between soft, fierce, and gale. After 4 hours of torture, Lan was eventually able to defend himself. Sin would then use [Nine Life Steps] forming afterimages of himself that would attack Lan. Eventually Sin started blaring [Alex Terrible Billy] Lans ears were starting to buzz. Sins attacks became more ferocious, each afterimage would send attacks in Lans direction. Each with various elemental paths, and sword techniques. Flow like the oceans, deep and boundless. Roar like the wind, stormy and serene. Rage like the inferno, burning and fierce. By the time it hit 3 pm in the afternoon, Sin was drenched in his own sweat and breathing heavily. Sins legs buckled underneath him, as the pitch blackness, and forest of pillars disappeared. Lan was shocked to see his master struggling to catch his breath. Running towards Sin worriedly, Lan asked in concern. "Master, you are looking pale. I feel like today you taught me more than you have in the previous days. Let''s call it quits, I will go home and review my mistakes." Sins hand was gripped tightly on his chest, and a puddle of sweat was left surrounding Sins body. Sin gravely warned Lan in between his pained breathing. "No one must know about what you just saw, do you understand Lan!?" Lan nods his head as if he were a bobble head figure. "Yes master, I understand the panic that would spread throughout the clan." Sin weakly stretched his hand out, ruffling Lans hair. "Your a smart one Lan, I have just managed to stabilize the clan since I have become Wolf King. If the populace were to learn of this, the walls have ears. Nothing good would come out of it!" Sin brought Lan back home as normal. Afterwards Sin made his way back home. Each step he took, felt as if there were knives stabbing through his heart. Sweat poured off of Sins body like a heavy rain shower. Every breath he inhaled, felt like a giant fist crushing his heart. After making it back home, Sin was exhausted and spent. Slowly and quietly opening the door, Sin checks to make sure the coast is clear, Sin runs upstairs to go and shower. Afterwards Sin felt much better, but the pain was only getting worse by the minute. Sin made his way downstairs in a pair of shorts, and his damp towel hung over his shoulder. Sin hears knocks on the door, so he goes and opens it. Sin is gobsmacked by who he sees before yelling out on surprise. "Its mother fucking Mia Khalifa!" [Giggity 18+] Merala runs to the front door after hearing Sins shouts. "Husband when did you get home?" As if like magnets, her eyes connected with another pair. As if she were a cat, seeing another feline encroaching upon her territory. Merala was about to pounce, and then she saw the smile on ''Mia Khalifas'' face before she began shape shifting. She became a mature woman with cascading black hair, crystal blue eyes, nine silvery red tails behind her. Also a overly revealing purple dress, where her breasts looked like they were about to blow their way out of. "Hello mister Wolf King, are you going to invite me in? Or are you going to leave me out here to be ravaged by men''s eyes, and dirty fantasies. Kinda like the one you''re thinking of now." Sin nods his head vigorously, not daring to say anything that may spark the flame known as Merala. The women walked around looking around excitedly and curious. "I am the Guardian Beast of the Wolf God Clan. You may call me Samara, and we have some catching up to do. I am going to assume before Sirius died, he didn''t tell you how things work here. Well no matter, I''ll get to it right away." "When a Wolf King dies, the next in line MUST meet me, NOT the other way around. Considering your an aboriginal to this world like Sirius. I will let it slide, but you''ve done a good job pissing me off Wolf King." "Not only did you JUST stabilize the clans situation. You have also gotten the same illness as Sirius. You have also done the man thing, ignore it and pretend nothing is wrong. When THERE really is something wrong, something you humans would call heart disease." "But thank fuck I''m a forgiving person, thus all you need to do is take care of my ''cravings'' and I''ll help you temporarily suppress the heart disease." Samara bit her lower lip at the end of sentence. Merala was finally blowing up in fury. "How dare you try to fuck my man. He hasn''t even fucked me yet!" Samara smiled playfully. "Calm down young Phoenix Matriarch, two is better than one after all." Samara appeared behind Merala fondling her breasts. "40 DD, not bad at all young matriarch. It''s a wonder how you haven''t eaten your wife up with all this temptation here." Samara began licking Meralas neck sensually.Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. Merala as if a cat with its tail stepped on, booked it hiding behind Sin blushed and in a huff. "Jeez husband, I''ve gotten more from a woman than you''ve given me." A light bulb went off in Meralas head. "How the fuck do you know I''m the young matriarch!?" Samara replied, licking her lips. "Your the splitting image of Kirala. We also shared Sirius together. So why don''t me and you share that giant ''sword'' of his?" Samara laughed coyly. "Well I am done teasing you. The main reason I came here today is so I can mitigate some of the heart disease, our Wolf King here has ignored so well over the last month." Grabbing Sins hands in hers, Samara guides Sin into the basement. Turning around she locks eyes with Merala before lip speaking. "I am not here to steal your man. But I do know you blow him every morning before he gets up. My eyes are everywhere for these activities in the clan." Merala was shocked after lip reading Samara. After bringing Sin into the basement, Samara strips down. And places her right hand over Sins heart, then grabs his right hand bringing it to her breast. "During this ceremony, I will be sending my pure life essence into you. After that I will turn into an egg, and be reborn again 15 days later. You will be my master at that point in time. With me in your presence, I can suppress the heart disease. But it all boils down to you, push yourself too hard, and even I won''t be able to stop it from flaring up. You will have exactly 45 days of peace and comfort, after that if not properly healed. You''ll end up like Sirius in the not so far future." One hour passed, Samaras long black hair started turning snow white. After transferring all of her pure life essence into Sin, Samara stood up and said. "Find me in the back mountains 15 days from now. When I wake up as a reborn guardian beast, if I do not see any humans or you for that matter. While my power may not be destructive, it is more than enough to wipe out the entire Wolf God Clan. Take the warning to heart handsome." Samara walks back up the stairs, after seeing Merala there with a questioning gaze. Samara walks by Merala, her index and middle fingers were emitting a pink light, she swiped her fingers over top of Meralas crotch. "You seem to complain about your husband not fucking you, tonight you''ll be in for a surprise. If you don''t have any ''getting lucky'' night wear, I can give you some before I revert back into an egg." Merala blushed thinking about being mounted. "Of course every women has their ''getting lucky'' outfits." (1) Samara bit her lower lip. "Well while I was down there, I basically rigged his body with my homemade aphrodisiac. It just doesn''t take effect until midnight, when the Yin energy is at its peak. And what I did to you, was to give you a little ''help'' also take this pill here. When men fall under my aphrodisiac, they will be ignited in lust and follow their desires. If you don''t want to get pregnant, take it now so it has time to take effect." Merala was still unsure. "Are you sure he''s not going to be able to control himself, all the other times I''ve tried he has always managed to keep his mind calm." Samara laughed playfully. "Honey look, if he can even ward this off. Not even the ancient immortals could compare to his willpower. I guarantee you have a 90% of being ravaged tonight, I also just happen to want to see tonight''s event, so I will be making sure it happens." ------------------------------------- [NSFW content ahead, you''ve been warned.] At midnight Sin was awoken out of his deep sleep, thoughts of pushing Merala underneath his body, fingering her, making her cum and squirt were flooding his mind. The thin sheet covering his body started to rise, revealing a bulge piercing towards the heavens. Merala who had been ''asleep'' was eagerly waiting. Wearing her ''get lucky'' sleepwear, she could feel Sins piercing gaze full of desire and lust. 10 minutes passed.... 20.... and 30.... Sin was trying his best to control his mind and purge his inner cravings. Eventually he couldn''t take it anymore and disappeared in a flash in the bathroom. Turning the shower on to the coldest it could go, Sin stood there trying to cool off his burning hot body. But to no avail, Sins lust was just getting more and more overwhelming. Merala had been waiting with anticipation began having second thoughts, she muttered quietly to herself in frustration. "You fucking liar Samara. He''s probably in there rubbing one off right now!" Then a voice whispered in her ears. "I ain''t no liar, he''ll be coming out shortly and he definitely isn''t rubbing one off. But my oh my he sure is impressively well endowed down there." Sin couldn''t keep grips over his lust and desire anymore, so he got out of the shower and walked back into the bedroom. Seeing Meralas legs spread open, and the sexy nightwear she was wearing. Sin was like an enraged bull seeing red, he charged towards the bed. With his middle finger and ring finger rubbing up and down Meralas underwear, Sin was sucking on Meralas earlobe. Merala began letting out moans as she reached her hand out, stroking and rubbing Sins sword vigorously. Feeling the sensation of Meralas soft hand rubbing his sword, Sin was set on fire. Pulling Meralas underwear off her, Sin slid his fingers through Meralas sopping lips with ease. Then making a ''come here'' motion with his fingers, Sin began fingering the depths of Meralas vagina. While his thumb got active rubbing Meralas clitoris, Sin began kissing down Meralas neck, down her breasts and started rolling his tongue around Meralas nipples. Sucking on them, Merala let out moans of pleasure. Sin then started thrusting his hand in an in and out motion rapidly, bringing Merala to orgasm as she laid on her back catching her breath. But she was not given that chance, Sin moved with his body down with his head in between Meralas legs. Wrapping his arms around Meralas waist to keep her still, Sin began licking her clitoris and sucking on it. Merala after just cumming, was sensitive and this sudden pleasure started making her roll around uncontrollably. Sin pierced his tongue through her lips, twirling his tongue inside drawing the alphabet. After hitting the letter "L" Merala let out a loud scream of pleasure, Sin kept drawing multiple Ls inside of Meralas vagina with his tongue. Soon a bitter sweet taste touched the tip of Sins tongue, Sin began sucking, taking the taste into his mouth. After he was done, Sin moved his hips up towards Meralas crotch. Rubbing his sword vigorously up and down Meralas lips. Sins sword pierced Meralas vagina in one thrust going balls deep, the white bed sheets on the bed, now has a crimson rose of love and lust on it. Pounding Merala vigorously, Sin started doing circular motions with his hips, creating a cyclone zone. Merala wrapped her legs around Sins body, as she kissed Sin passionately while being pounded by her husband. Sin then turned his body sideways, lifting Meralas right leg up in the air. Pounding Meralas vagina vigorously, and teasing her clitoris Merala was soon filled with Sins seed. As she cummed from the pleasure of being cummed inside of. Afterwards Sin picked her up, Meralas legs were wrapped around Sins waist. Sin began pounding again, while sucking on Meralas nipples and biting down gently. Meralas moans were getting louder and louder, with the window wide open. Their nightly activity soon became heard by many in the Wolf God Clan. All the other men hearing their Wolf King and his wife, were filled with invigoration not willing to be beat by their Wolf King. Moans of pleasure began filling the entire clan. Sin rotated through various positions missionary, doggy style, stand and deliver, the standing dragon, mountain climber and various other techniques. After going at it for 3 hours, and blowing his load inside Merala many times. Sin was finally running out of juice. Merala was in ecstasy, feeling his dick throb inside of her vagina. Merala stopped Sin, going down on her knees with her tongue out, stroking Sin vigorously. Sin cummed all over Meralas face and hair. Rolling her tongue around collecting all of the seed she could, Merala swallowed what she had collected. Sin and Merala then went into the shower, where Sin was again stimulated by his fetish. They shared multiple more rounds together, by the time it was 4 in the morning. Sin and Merala were sexed out and both fell asleep. The next morning after waking up and making himself a coffee, Sin sees notifications in his log. Out of curiosity he read them, before he was shocked not knowing how to feel about it. [The men in the Wolf God Clan were inspired by their Wolf Kings midnight song. Many women were made happy at this unexpected boon. Loyalty increased by 50% for both men and women, productive work in bed, and out of bed increased by 100%] [Chances of pregnancy increased by 100% in the Wolf God Clan for 6 months.] [Miscarriage rates in the clan decreased by 75%] Sin was left dumbstruck, who knew such things could happen in this world. Sin then heard Merala wail. "Husband you mother fucker! Why did you have to go so hard on me last night, I can''t even get out of the fucking bed!" Sin smiled to himself before shouting back up. "You were the one who continuously cummed, and kept yelling out harder and faster!" Merala yelled back down from upstairs. "You know what?" Sin hesitantly shouted back up "What.....?" "You really want to know?" Sin again hesitantly yelled up "Yes.....?" "Fuck you!" Sin scratched his head for a couple seconds. "I feel like this whole scenario is familiar, but I just can''t quite remember why." Sin then made breakfast and a coffee for Merala, because god knew if she got out of bed today. It would be a miracle. Volume 2 Chapter 4 Festive Night After making Merala breakfast and coffee, Sin decided to go out for a little bit. Feeling refreshed after having his heart disease mitigated, and the pounding he gave Merala last night Sin felt like a new man. Sin bumped into Zenith while he was strolling around the clan. Seeing the bags underneath Zenith''s eyes, Sin decided it was time to stir the pot. "Zenith brother, you didn''t get much sleep last night?" Zenith flew off like a ticking time bomb. "You could have at least closed your fucking window! Jesus fucking christ, not even Sirius could rally the men in the clan like you did last night! Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to sleep, when there are over 3 million people fucking!?" Sin smiled widely. "Come on brother, if you''re so mad about it. I''m sure Elder Maya''s wife could give you a good time." "Fuck you Sin!" As if they were like real brothers, Sin had a knack for pissing Zenith off. After separating paths with Zenith, Sin decided to go out to the training grounds. Ever since he had issued for the whole clan to begin training, he had yet to go and see their progress. Sin also hadn''t slacked off on beating the ''noble'' elders either. Many had their pride broken, and turned a new leaf. Ever since their initial meeting, the change Sin saw was tremendous. The ''nobles'' that were once hated, were now being respected as equal individuals. While Sin was walking through Wolf Heart City, many of the single women in the clan were eyeing him like predators. Feeling the many stares from lustful eyes, Sin had got cold feet. He was getting worried of being chloroformed, and taken away for ''playtime.'' After 30 minutes, Sin had got to the training grounds in Wolf Heart City. Upon his arrival, many men began whistling and howling like crazed animals. One of the men stepped forward with burning fervor in his eyes. "God damn Wolf King! You had your wife howling up to the moon all night long! Being inspired by your prowess, I had to show my wife some new tricks. She explicitly asked me to thank you on her behalf." Many had crowded around, praising Sin for the song he orchestrated last night. Seeing the reinvigorated atmosphere Sin declared aloud. "Men there is no need for training today, I can clearly feel the difference in you all since the training began. I am sure much blood, and sweat was shed on these training grounds. Today is a day to relax, feast and party!" All the men excitedly howled before leaving the training grounds, Sin made his way over to the dining hall in the clan. He gave many recipes, requesting their main focus on hamburgers. Ever since coming to [Desolate Kingdom] Sin hadn''t had his favourite food in months now. Since the children had been going out on their training excursions. The clan had stockpiled thousands of tonnes worth of meat, and tonight was the right time to binge. After leaving the dining hall, over 15,000 chefs had been set into motion. Sin then gathered up all the clan elders. "Tonight is a night where we all party and feast, let loose have fun, communicate with the clan members and be thankful for what we have here." Rein stepped forward bowing politely. "What can we do to help out Wolf King?" Sin then sent out a bunch of different orders. "Set up tables, bring ingredients to the chef''s, prepare spirit wines, non alcoholic beverages for the children. Set up game booths and have stages layed out for performances. Also put a big ring in the middle of the banquet area, that way everyone can feast and watch sparring competitors at the same time." After that Sin dismissed the elders. Making his way back home, Sin went up to check on Merala. Sin sat down on the bed beside Merala, lovingly rubbing her back. "How are you feeling my wife?" Merala answered back "In heaven and hell at the same time." Sin smiled "How does a clan wide feast sound to you?" Meralas eyes lit up at the aforementioned feast, but then she looked depressed. "I couldn''t get out of bed even if I wanted to, let alone go to the feast and interact with everyone." Sin kissed Meralas cheek. "Nonsense that''s what my back is for. Did you really think I would leave you out of the feast? I gotta keep my bottomless hole of a wife fed well." Merala blushed before denying without much success. "That''s not true..... it''s not my fault, I always had a monstrous appetite since being a child." "I know, I won''t tease you anymore. But for now let''s get you all ready and dressed up. I''m sure you will have lots of interactions tonight." Sin then spent the next three hours helping Merala shower, pick her outfit for the night which took the longest. After staring at Merala all dressed up Sin couldn''t move his eyes away. Merala was blushing "Husband, you look the big bad wolf looking to eat me up again." Sin laughed "Sorry I couldn''t help it, your a sight to behold no matter the occasion. But i''m just blown away by seeing you all dressed up." Sin then got on both knees with his back facing Merala. Merala let her body fall on Sins back, as he stood up with his arms holding her up by her legs. Night had fallen by the time Sin and Merala had made it to the feast area. While they were walking around, many children were running around playing various games with each other. Seeing this scene both Sin and Merala were content, there were decorations all throughout Wolf Heart City. There was a stage set up by the feast area, many men and women were dancing and singing. Lan had seen Sin and came running over, his eyes then fell on Merala and he was stunned with wide eyes. "Master you have such a beautiful wife!" Merala was smiling like a blooming flower, before saying. "You must be Lan, I hope my husband has been treating you well since you became his disciple."The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Lan had a light bulb go off in his head before replying back. "Well master is a fearsome teacher. He threw me into hordes of muta-" Sin flicked his wrist, and a emerald blade was shot right in between the middle of Lans two feet. Sin then made direct eye contact with Lan. Lan was shocked before correcting himself. "Master has taught me many new techniques, he even wiped out hordes of mutant beasts during his demonstrations. Master is sure to become a renowned Grand Warrior." Sin nodded his head in approval of Lans correction. Merala was suspicious, but despite feeling Sin ''readjust'' her body. She didn''t have anything else to work with why Lan suddenly froze up. Sin, Merala and Lan made their way to the banquet. While the food had long been prepared, everyone in the clan waited for their Wolf King and his wife to arrive. When Sin, Merala and Lan arrived, Sin walked up to the stage while Lan split away looking for his friends. Sin looked out into the vast crowd, seeing all the men, women, and children eagerly waiting for him. Sin then imbued his voice with Mana, so that his voice could reach out to everyone in the clan. "Good evening everyone, I apologize for my late arrival. I know you all must be hungry, so I will not keep you distracted for long. First thought, I would like to thank everyone for their trust in me. I know many had doubts, and many may still have doubts. However, we are all one big family here. So let''s all feast, eat and have a hell of a good time tonight!" The crowd applauded and cheered loudly. Everyone grabbed their plates and began filling them to the brim with food. During the time Sin was walking around, Merala had pointed out at over 40 different dishes that caught her interest. Sin had filled 10 plates towering with food Merala pointed out. After placing Merala down gently into a chair, she had begun devouring her food in an instant. Sin enjoyed the cheerful atmosphere, there was a ring set up in the middle of the banquet area as requested. Where all the men, women and children in the clan would go and duel with each other. There were plays, musicals, different games, darts, and many more activities going on. While Merala was eating, many had come to greet both her and Sin. Merala was getting annoyed from being distracted from her food, but considering the occasion, Merala didn''t mind it a whole lot. Many women were eagerly taking peeks at Sin, and many men were taking peeks at Merala. Seeing the heated eyes of the women in the clan, Merala jokingly asked Sin. "Husband how does it feel being treated as a delicacy by the numerous women?" Sin answered something which stunned Merala. "It''s honestly pretty suffocating, every man would love to be swarmed by women. But this is just too much, i''m quite happy with just enjoying everything my wife has to offer." Merala blushed, she knew Sin wasn''t a man who desired every women he met. Not only that, Sin was a person who cherished the women he loved. After eating her fill, Merala asked Sin to take her and walk through the various activities. While they were going through, a giant dragon plushy caught Meralas attention instantly. She yelled out in excitement "Husband! I want that plushy! Look at how adorable it is, it needs a good mother like me to be brought home with!" Sin walked towards the stand, asking what he has to do to win the giant dragon plushy. The person running it answered something which shocked Sin. "Wolf King, you don''t need to play the game to win the prize. If something catches your eyes, you just need to tell me and it''s yours." All the children, and women who were likewise eyeing the dragon plushy were disheartened hearing this. Sin simply flipped coins onto the desk, before sitting beside a air rifle. "No need for that, may the best shooter win!" Fourteen other men sat at the booth. One had been drunk and made a bet with Sin. "Wolf King I bet if you can''t win this plushy for your wife, you won''t get no nooky for the next month!" All the men started laughing after overhearing the bet. Sin felt challenged, and decided he was going to destroy everyone present before roaring "Game on! Everyone here may be a good shot, but Sin doesn''t miss!" Sin then made a circle with his thumb and index finger, before spitting through it bringing greater laughs from the men at the booth. The person arming the booth rang a bell, and pop up mutant beasts appeared. Sin and the men began shooting at them with a ferocious appetite. Sin and the drunk man tied, while the rest were eliminated. Sin then looked over at the drunk man. "It''s just me and you left in this competition, may the better shot win!" Once again ringing the bell, Sin and the drunk man shot their air rifles rhythmically. Both had tied for 15 games straight, a huge crowd had gathered cheering their Wolf King, and fellow clan member on. Seeing Sins bullet about to knock the last mutant beast prop down, the drunk man shot towards it knocking it slightly off course. Sin and the drunk man then fought bouncing each others bullets away for the next 15 minutes. Sin had finally managed to win, while the drunk man sighed before clasping wrists with Sin. "You have a hell of a shot Wolf King! I accept my defeat." The drunk man walked over to his little daughter who looked sad. Merala who had been watching everything happen, her heart was melted thinking back to her childhood, and what Sirius would do to make her happy. She whispered in Sins ear "The young girl over there would be happier than I would be with the plushy." Sin then brought the big dragon plushy over to the drunk man and his daughter. Kneeling down Sin said to the girl. "Your father is an impressive man, this is a gift for you your fathers dedication to see you smile." The young girl was all smiles, snatching the plushy into her embrace. It was comical watching the girl heave a plushy thrice her size. She said with her cute voice. "Thank you uncle Wolf King!" Sin smiled before replying back. "Don''t thank me, thank your father." Sin walked towards Merala, once again having her ride his back. They walked around playing many different activities together, and against each other. Merala was nothing but smiles and laughs all night long. Sin felt intoxicated, on Earth he had never had a chance to have ''dates'' similar to this. But now not only had Merala healed his heart, Sin had finally been able to enjoy what he was missing so much. A companion to share love, the good, and the bad times together. Merala suddenly heard a rather high pitched sound, before a big boom rocked in the sky. When she looked up, various colours were falling from the night sky. Many depictions of wolves, phoenixes, king rocs, vermilion birds and so on were being formed out of the fire works. Merala was excitedly yelling aloud that everyone heard her. "Husband let''s go over there, we can get the best spot available to watch the fire works, god speed!" As the wife had said her bit, Sin followed Meralas directions. Eventually they came to a open plot devoid of people, the view for the fireworks truly was the best. Sin placed down a blanket on the grass below them, then Sin reached behind and heaved Merala over his shoulders, with her back facing his chest. Sin then sat down, wrapping his arms around Meralas stomach. Merala was comfortably staring up at the night sky. Nestled in Sins chest, like a kitten that was pussy footing and purring away. Merala shifted her attention aside, remembering what her mother said when Sirius had just died. Merala eagerly looked up into the night sky, hoping to find the figure of her father in the night sky. After searching for over 30 minutes, Merala finally saw that familiar figure. Maybe it was just the stars moving, but it seemed like a hand was waving at her, with a wide loving smile on her fathers depicted figure. Sin noticed the change in Meralas emotional state immediately. Sin didn''t say anything, all he did was just run his hand through Meralas hair carefully and lovingly. Merala understood her husbands intention and said. "I am okay husband, mother once said when you''re lonely for someone you love. You will find their figure in the stars of the night sky, she was right." Merala leaned her head backwards kissing Sins chin. "Husband, I wish every night could be like this. Everyone is so happy and festive, all the children are running around without a care in the world. When you create a peaceful world, I want to be able to experience this feeling every night." Volume 2 Chapter 5 The Hunters Become The Hunted 15 days passed peacefully, Sin was able to fully train Lan without his heart disease getting in the way. Sin also figured out, just how much he can ''push'' himself before it flared up. But as any other regular man, pride was the biggest thing to leap over. As instructed by Samara, Sin went to go and see her in the back mountain exactly 15 days later. After Sin arrived, he saw a giant egg cracking and rattling with a vengeance. Finally a powerful energy wave blasted out shattering the egg, followed by an intense rainbow of colours. Sin covered his eyes, on instinct he whipped his hand backwards. Clenching with his thumb, index, and middle fingers, Sin brought his arm in front of him. There was a baby Wolf with 9 tails, that didn''t exactly follow what wolf''s look like. And then Sin was put at peace of mind, by the child like voice he heard. "Father I am hungry!" This voice was naturally Samaras, instead of the experienced and temptation laced within. It was replaced by a child''s, who saw their parent for the first time in weeks. Sin smiled he then asked Samara a question. "Do you remember anything from 20 days ago?" Samara tilted her head sideways, staring at Sin like he were a dumb ass before answering. "I literally just hatched out of an egg, how can you expect me to remember anything after just being born?" Sin wasn''t sure how he should feel, but he put it to the back of his mind. And then that was when he heard Samaras stomach rumble, followed by her annoying nagging." "Hey dad I smell food over there. Dad can I eat that rabbit? Dad I am hungry. Dad find me something to eat. Daaaaaad I am hungry. Feed me mother fucker! Dad that rabbit is taunting me, I''m going to eat it!" There was silence, and there was loud crunching and snapping. Samara was contentedly eating her prey, while also communicating with Sin. "Yummy it tastes so good! Dad I want more!" All Sin could hear was the smacking of half chewed food. Sin started sweating, he was also starting to regret his decision. It was truly unfortunate bringing in another girl, that could curse him without missing a heartbeat. But considering how cute a child form Samara was. Sin wasn''t quite ready to boot her like a football yet. After making his way back to the Wolf God Clan, Samara had her fill of many game she hunted. After devouring enough food to put Merala to shame, Samara curled up into a little fur ball on Sins shoulder. Samaras 9 tails formed a bed under neath her body, and she layed her head in Sins neck. Affectionately nuzzling him before falling asleep. Sin took some time hunting various wild life, knowing he has another glutton in his presence, Sin re stacked up the reserves in his storage ring. Looking at the various fruits, breads, meats, and now dead animals, with all 200 slots packed to the brim. Sin thought to himself. "This should hopefully last the journey." After arriving back home Sin didn''t yell out like he normally does, he figured he would surprise Merala with a cute fur ball. And he did, Merala was like a child staring at her favourite plushy. "Husband it''s so cute! I want to pet it, can I? It looks so soft, come and see momma!" Meralas excitement woke up Samara, she looked around at the object of the sound that woke her up. Seeing Merala, Samara made a gust of wind that blew Merala a couple of feet away, before starting to get herself comfortable once again. Before falling back asleep Samara smelled the aroma of food coming from the kitchen. Leaping from Sins shoulder onto Meralas, Samara was yelling in excitement "Food food food!" Seeing this scene Sin was touched and happy, it seemed like he didn''t have to worry about the girls not getting along. After making a bowl for Samara, Merala wanted to feed the baby wolf. However, that was objected by Samara instantly. "No! Only dad feeds me!" Merala tried convincing her. "Forget dad, momma makes better food. And I am more loving than your dad is!" Samara instantly interjected "No!" before blowing another gust of wind, making Meralas hair all disordered. Samara strutted over to Sin full of pride over her deed, with a bowl held in her mouth. Samara hopped her way up the chair, all the way to Sins shoulder. Placing the bowl of food on Sins shoulder, one of Samaras tails lashed out grabbing a spoon off the table. "Dad hungry!" After their meal, Sin told Merala to pack whatever she needs. "Honey, pack what you need. Today we are going to head out for the capital city. Before that I have to go gather the elders." Sin left with Samara fast asleep on his shoulder again. After gathering all the elders Sin said his orders. "Keep the clan running as you are now, keep taking turns to go out and protect the children in secret during their excursions. I want to make it clear, while I am gone Zeniths words are my words. While I am gone, I want elders Adonis and Rein to guide Lans training. Lan is progressing at break neck speeds, but he has yet to lay a solid enough foundation." All the elders bowed respectfully. "Yes Wolf King, we wish you a safe and bountiful travel!" All the elders dispersed, ever since Sin put the nobles in their place. The Wolf God Clan began operating like a well oiled machine. There were no splits between the nobles and non nobles, the children were united as one underneath Lan. Seeing as how he had become the Wolf Kings first disciple, and the massive upgrade in under just a month. All the children regardless of status, worshiped Lan and swore to train harder, so they could also gain their Wolf Kings recognition. Merala appeared behind Sin her eyes were full of expectation. "Husband this journey should be fun, why don''t we take our time to get there? I''ve heard there are many chance encounters to be found. Maybe we could gain something good." Sin smiled. "Whatever you''d like my wife." Sin held onto Meralas hands, imbuing their bodies with his Mana. Both took flight, starting their journey. To get to the Capital city from the Wolf God Clan, they must traverse the Forest Of Lost Souls. The forest had extended for over 75,000 kilometers, with various regions. The Wolf God Clan was situated in the middle region. However, taking their time, would still take over 20 days to reach the capital city. Sin and Merala traveled all day and afternoon, when it became dark out. Sin started a fire, catching a wild pig, and rabbit. Sin skewered the pig from mouth through anus, before putting it over a fire. Sin spiced the pig with paprika, salt, and pepper. After that Sin skinned and took out all of the rabbits bones. Placing the rabbit over another open fire in a pot filled with pre cut vegetables. Sin was making a rabbit curry, while steaming rice in another pot. Meralas eyes had hearts in them, while a stream of drool fell from her mouth uncontrollably. Samara also woke up, and was yelling through her mental connection with Sin. "Dad I smell yummy food. Is it ready yet? Can I have some? I smell rabbit. I want the pigs legs. Dad I''m hungry. Dad when is it going to be ready?" Samara fired off questions, causing Sins head to ache. Talking back with Samara, Sin said lovingly. "Patience my love, good food takes time to cook. When it''s ready you can have whatever you want."The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. "Fuck yeah dad''s the best!" Not knowing where Samara learned those words, Sin wasn''t going to mull over something that seemed so natural. After supper was done cooking, Sin, Merala, and Samara ate all the food. After telling Merala to get ready for bed. Sin took his place in the middle of their camp. Placing his Soul Weapon into the ground, Sins Sword Qi radiated throughout the surrounding 5 kilometers. The night passed peacefully without any unforeseen accidents. When the sun rose, Sin was trying to wake up Merala. Merala was not happy being woken up so early. "Husband fuck off, or fuck me." was Meralas reply to Sins nagging. Sighing to himself, Sin did something all men learned to fear the consequences of. Bringing a cup full of water from the nearby stream, Sin doused Merala with the water. He then began running while yelling back. "Early bird gets the worm!" Merala was infuriated and in a huff, she yelled back. "Cowards don''t get pussy running from a women!" Their day continued on peacefully, despite Sin feeling the knives stabbing into his back from behind. Samara was peacefully curled up into a ball on his shoulder. After travelling for the majority of the day. Sin raised his hand as Merala stopped immediately. Sins ears perked up, he heard the snapping of sticks, and the rustling of bushes. Sin used [Void Steps] picking Merala up from behind, and hiding in the bushes nearby. Seconds after Sin hid with Merala. A group of injured people ran out of the nearby bush. They were protecting a mature women in the middle of their formation. "Mother fucking Goblins! Since when have they stepped out of their territories!?" One of the men complained. "Shut up little chicky if you have time to complain, you have time to run." Over hearing the voices, Sin placed his finger on his lips to Merala. Taking Samara off of his shoulder, Sin silently scaled a nearby tree. His control was impeccable, the branches didn''t move and no leaves fell either. Looking from up high, Sin saw a formation of goblins in hot pursuit of the group that just ran by. Sin leaped from tree to tree, closing the distance in an instant. Sin collected many pebbles previously, with a snipers aim. Sin threw out the pebbles, piercing the eyes of over 10 goblins simultaneously. The group got into formation, while the Goblins were a stupid race. Every being had the chance of surpassing their races inhabitations. This goblin commander was smart, ordering his tanks to take the front, and long range in the back. However, this was nothing but a child''s play in the eyes of Sin. Sins hands radiated emerald, before blades of wind slashed down through the goblins. Killing them all except for the Goblin commander. Sin purposely kept him alive, approaching the Goblin commander Sin asked. "Why are you chasing those humans?" The Goblin Commander was in rage, seeing his soldiers killed so easily. He roared aloud. "Fuck you small cock humans! It''s none of your mother fucking business, what daddy big cock here wants to do!" Sin took exception to that. Flashing in front of his enemy, Sin sucker punched the Goblin commander in the throat. Dropping to one knee, Sin uppercut the goblins nut sack. While Goblins were profoundly stupid creatures, this one was smart enough to think for a split second. "Oh fuck!" After his fists made contact with ''daddy big cocks sack.'' The Goblin commanders scream echoed throughout the whole forest in pain and terror "Fuck you small cock human!" Sin ended the Goblin commanders life, grabbing the commanders head. Sin wrenched it off the goblins body, with the spine followed behind. Sin turned around like a bad ass. "You should watch your spine, it''s holding your back." The goblins body fell limp to the ground. After making quick work of the Goblins, Sin approached the group of wary humans. Tossing the commanders head in front of the group, Sin raised his hands in peace. "I''ve taken care of those shit talking green bastards. Care to explain the rest of the story to me?" The women came to the front. "On behalf of my people, I Katheryn thank you for saving us. The goblins have been coming out of their territory. We heard they were looking for a treasure, so we stole it and the rest is as you know it." Hearing her answer, Sin was already starting to like these people. "Very well, are there anymore goblins in the area?" Katheryn answered honestly. "Yes there is an encampment of about 4,000 Goblins 40 kilometers from here." Sin thought for a moment to himself. "Well that''s all I wanted to know, see ya." Sin threw his hand backwards before returning to Merala and Samara. Appearing behind Merala, Sin playfully slapped her ass. "Nice bum where are you from?" Merala replied stunning Sin. "The twin cities, want to fondle my titties?" "Anyways while I was taking a gander, I killed a group of goblins and got some information of a nearby encampment. about 4,000 or so from what I was told, do you feel like hunting the hunters my wife?" Merala was excited. "Fuck yeah let''s wipe those green bastards clean!" Samara popped her head up. "Goblins? Are they food? Can we cook them? Do they taste good? Dad I want goblin meat for supper!" Seeing as both women had voiced their thoughts. Sin couldn''t help but sigh. But at least the morale was high for their following endeavor. Sin told Merala and Samara to stay put, while he went ahead and did reconnaissance on the goblins encampment. After travelling at top speed for 1 hour, Sin arrived at the encampment. It was crudely built with the trees from the surrounding area. There were 2 towers with sentries on top, and a couple of arrow towers. Sin used his Mana creating a map in his mind, he then went to the food and alcohol storage. Sin dumped packets of poison into the alcohol, and left the food alone. These packets were leftovers Sin had from the time when he went out annihilating encampments before his fight with Alarune. After scoping out everything important, as well as a hidden cave that had a frightening power inside of it. Sin didn''t deem it was worthy to stir the hornets nest yet. Goblins were creatures that loved their alcohol, and so it was just a waiting game. Sin made his way back to Merala and Samara, sending them a copy of the Mana map he made. Sin the goes on to explain his plan to Merala. "Tonight we strike 1 hour after the goblins drink their alcohol. The poison is meant to drug and null their senses. Every kill must be once and done, if even one isn''t properly killed and escapes away. It will warn the encampment, and drag the attention from this big guy." Sin said while pointing his index finger on the Mana map. Samara was confused. "Dad what is my part in this?" Sin scratched underneath Samaras chin, making her purr like a cat. Sin asked in shock. "Did you just purr?" "Fuck off dad!" Sin smiled mischievously. "Well with that attitude little girl, you don''t have a part in this anymore." Samaras eyes went wide in disbelief. "Dad is the best in the whole world!" Sin smiled. "Okay I''m done teasing, your part in this is to eat the goblins like you wanted to. And if your able to make sure kills, don''t hold back." Night passed, after exactly 1 hour since drinking the alcohol. All the goblins fell a sleep, with their senses nulled. It made for a crimson slaughter fest. Sin, Merala and Samara meticulously killed all the goblins one by one. They spent 3 hours taking absolute care, so as not to fuck up. After they killed the last unfortunate goblin, Sin sensed an overwhelming rage and power erupt. It topped the sense of danger he felt from Alarune by at least 5 times. A giant blood red hand ripped open the sky, with its palm open. It sent a wave of energy towards the cave, as well as a monstrously sized double headed Axe. After the energy wave was fully absorbed, a loud thumping sound was heard through the encampment. A massive wave of wind, blew Sin and Merala flying backwards. A nauseating killing intent locked onto Sin, covering his body in sweat from head to toe. The big guy from the hidden cave walked out. His muscles were bulging, eyes were blood shot. "So your the rats who have been killing my men? Good very good, you have absolutely pissed me off!" The goblins body expanded becoming a 15 foot giant. The goblin wielded the double headed Axe, Sins analyze fed a stream of information that fully shocked him Mutated Rage God Disciple Name: Sorcus Level: 40 Class: Berserker [Elite] Health: 52,570/52,570 Mana: 9,250/9,250 Strength, Intelligence, Dexterity, Agility are unknown. Race: Goblin Faction: Rage God Relationship: Hatred After reading through Sorcus'' information, Sin sent it to Merala. "I don''t know about you my wife, but my anus just consciously clenched." Merala broke out in laughter before saying to Sin. "Please, no matter how hard you clench. That goblins cock would rip through you in an instant. Sin got chills inside a place that should never get shivers, it was disgustingly uncomfortable. "Well my wife, since I''m only able to muster 10% pushing 20% with my bodies condition still. We will have to use our combination fighting style to conquer this foe. Are you up to it my wife?" Merala answered immediately without any second thoughts. "Come on husband, let''s fuck this green fucker up!" "Yeah dad. Let''s fuck him up!" Samara also chimed in before applying buffs, increasing Sins and Meralas stats by an additional 25% Volume 2 Chapter 6 Tartarus Impalement Sin launched himself forward, clashing his Soul Weapon with Sorcus'' Axe. A massive wind stream blew Sin backwards. His hands were numb, and his palms split open from the impact. Using [Void Steps] Sin appeared behind Sorcus, with a fist enveloped in [Midnight Glory] Sins fingers pierced through Sorcus'' ear. Rupturing the ear drum in his right ear. Sorcus backhanded Sin, sending him flying through a nearby mountain. Sin was coughing up blood while getting up. "Jesus christ, this mother fucker has a hard hit" Wiping the blood from the corner of his lip. Sins eyes refocused as he brought his hand up to his face, black-white flames form turning into the [Midnight Reaper Mask.] [Midnight Glory] flared instantaneously bringing the temperature up by several degrees. Sins hair grew black with white streaks, his eyes became black and white respectively. While his [Basic Armour Set] evolved into a one piece black-white flame full body armour. Sins Soul Weapon thrummed in excitement, gritting his teeth Sin activated [Implosion.] Sorcus'' attention was brought back to Sin, while a gleeful look appeared in his eyes. Sorcus'' voice roared throughout the surrounding area "Finally someone worth my time! I haven''t had a proper fight since coming to these parts!" Sins Soul Weapon changed forms, becoming a 7 meter black-white Great Sword. Sin flew forward yelling out "Ghost busters!" Another frightening source of Sword Qi erupted, distracting Sorcus momentarily. Sin gathered all the fire essence in the surrounding area, Sins Great Sword shined as rays of sunlight shot into his Soul Weapon. Sin used [Nine Life Steps] leaving eight deep cleave marks in Sorcus'' armour. After arriving at his right shoulder, Sin stabbed down with all the strength he could muster. A giant black flame phoenix shot downwards, cleaving Sorcus'' right arm off clean, incinerated without a chance of saving. "Gale!" Sin yelled out, Merala combined the Water and Sky path of [Blood Dragon Sword Methods] freezing the ground underneath. Ice started encasing Sorcus'' legs. "Cross!" Sin and Merala used [Blood Dragon Sanctuary Cross] immediately. Both attacks combined into one, a bloodied cross mark was left on Sorcus'' right pectoral, and the armour surrounding it was falling off in pieces. Sin felt his heart throb, knowing he was fighting a race against time. Sin entered his heart world, there Midnight Reaper was bored playing black jack with himself. Seeing Sin arrive, Midnight Reaper was all smiles. "Yo onii-san, ain''t you looking worse for ware huh?" Sin smiled "You got that right, enough with this chit chat. We need to fuse NOW!" Hearing the gravity in Sins words, Midnight Reaper complied not daring to beat around the bush this time. Exiting the heart world, Sins aura once again began to erupt. The ground rumbled, the wind howled, and thunder started to boom in the background. The surging power, irritated Sins flared heart disease further. But Sin bit down on his teeth, ignoring it and gathering his power. Sorcus'' felt the threat of death coming from Sin, he roared in defiance as he swung his Axe aiming to cleave Sin in half. Sin swept out his Great Sword half heartedly, the surrounding encampment was blown up from the after effects. Their auras raged, Katheryn and her group which were well over 100 kilometers away felt the clashing auras. Their expressions sunk however, Katheryn was shocked the most "That is that strangers aura who saved us the other day, it''s a good thing we didn''t hide anything." "Symmetry!" Sin slashed his Great Sword across Sorcus'' right pectoral, while Merala used [Illusionary Sword: Void Breaker] on the left pectoral. Two gaping holes were left from the aftermath. Sorcus was wheezing, and his fury was burning. His skin turned red, as steam began emitting from his body. The original 15 foot giant, started compressing itself into a 4 meter tall Goblin. Sorcus'' strength, ferocity and blood lust skyrocketed instantly. Sin appeared in front of Sorcus immediately, their weapons clashed as Sin was bounced off. Sorcus smiled disdainfully. "You think you''re all hot shit dont you? Well, you''re starting to feel terribly weak human! If this is all the gas you have in you, your death will becoming quick." Samara while far away from the battle, had felt the strain on Sins body. She worriedly sent him mental messages. "Dad you have to stop! Your body is falling a part as is, the longer you stay like this the more you''ll hurt yourself!" During the process of smashing his knee into Sorcus'' face. Sin replied back. "Don''t worry my love, I only need another minute or two." Sin was punched in the gut, as he grabbed Sorcus'' arm and bit into it tearing flesh off. Sorcus yelled before grabbing Sins head with his palm, smashing downwards into the earth. Sin flipped upwards, with a open palm ferociously swiping across Sorcus'' chin, temporarily dizzying him. Sin took this chance to yell out "Flash!" Merala appeared behind the dizzied Sorcus, thrusting the hilt of her Sword into Sorcus'' gut. Merala sent Sorcus flying into the air. Sin enveloped his fists and legs in [Midnight Glory] before taking chase. With each impact Sin and Sorcus made, there were visible fractures and explosive air bursts appearing in the sky. Their blows were explosive, blood was raining from the sky. Sin found a crack in Sorcus'' defense, appearing behind his enemy Sin cupped his fists into a hammer. Smashing Sorcus'' head sending him spiraling downwards. Sin appeared underneath him, with his index and middle finger piercing towards the sky, Sin pierced Sorcus'' sacrum. "Ignite!" Merala with her fist full of [Yin Phoenix Flames] used a new technique Sin taught her. [Immolating Boundary] the area surrounding Sorcus, turned into a fiery inferno. The inferno raged, causing screams of pain from Sorcus to be heard. In his desperate times, Sorcus activated a talent of the Rage God. [Rage Possession] which allows a portion of the Rage Gods soul, to take over the host at the expense of 500 years of life. Feeling the change in Sorcus, Sin immediately yelled "Shadow!" Merala hid her aura, manipulating the Sky path becoming a shadow attached to Sins back. In this phase of the Sky path, one can become a shadow that can attack with, and defend the person they''re attached to. Sin primarily called this order out ahead of time, because the next attack he was going to use. Didn''t differ between friend and foe, and to be quite honest with himself. Sin wasn''t a man who would let his wife pertain in a life and death confrontation when he himself was around. Sorcus who had been possessed by the Rage God spoke to Sin indifferently. "Very good mortal, you''re the first one to push my disciple to this point. However, in my eyes I can see all of your flaws. I can even see that women who''s hiding in your presence. You should take this warning to heart, if you don''t throw every last ounce of strength into this bout with me. I will kill her before killing you!"This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it Sins killing intent surged the moment he heard the threat, it had ripped the reverse dragon scale right off without mercy. Sins billowing killing intent caused the air to stiffen, Sin said through gritted teeth "Point taken mother fucker!" Sins flesh began to burst, while the [Midnight Glory] sacred flame began to convulse violently. Sin combined all of his Mana and Sword Qi into one entity. His heart throbbed, and the flow of his blood stopped. Gritting his teeth, Sin forcefully opened the gate in his heart world. Chaos energy burst out, pouring into every nook and cranny of Sins very being. Sins eyes started radiating a malevolent blood red light, while the squeals of a baby''s cry could be heard. In the very depths of the mansion, a blood stained black Sword with a spirit of its own was woken up. A long sigh echoed out from Sins heart world, time froze in place for Sorcus. While a mysterious voice from a woman entered Sins ears. "You have yet to suffer, you have yet to feel the pain my father and mother once did. You have no rights to open up the reserves of Chaos energy! However, I will forgive you considering your love for that woman. Your time is not yet ripe little man. With this little bit of emotional control, you''d only be another senseless killing machine." If there were records of the Shuras calamity hundreds of thousands of years ago. This sword in the mansion of Sins heart world, would be recognized as [Dawns Blessing] the very one the Shura himself wielded. Sins eyes turned blood red, as a bestial blood lust was filling his very being. The entirety of [Desolate Kingdom] rocked to the core, all the hidden old monsters in the land felt death. The insanely cruel and blood thirsty killing intent, and maliciousness was one foreign to [Desolate Kingdom.] Sins frozen blood started flowing once again, and his heart which nearly stopped found a second wind. Sin was barely able to keep the insatiable blood lust and killing intent in check. Sin gathered all of his power quickly, intending to kill Sorcus under the Rage Gods possession, and inflict damage to the soul of the Rage God himself. Sin rushed forward with a palm full of baleful energy, he blasted Sorcus stomach. A terrifying blood red wave tore through his stomach, exiting from his back. Sorcus was sent blasting through the air. Sin appeared above as a streak of black flames. Piercing downwards through Sorcus'' body, Sin landed in the ground as the entire sky of [Desolate Kingdom] became pitch black. [Tartarus Impalement] The earth, and surrounding 75 kilometers evaporated. Leaving nothing but a giant crater in the wake of Sins last attack. Molten lava broke through the surface bubbling. Before the area became completely destroyed, Sin used [Void Steps] picking Samara up and fleeing the area. After escaping to a safe distance, Sin reverted back to his base form. The moment he did, his heart disease flared like none other before. Sin was coughing blood up continuously, the amount of blood he hurled could''ve been enough to fill 5 buckets to the brim. Merala finally detached herself from Sins shadow. She hurriedly gathered all the Nature Qi she had, sending it into Sins body to gently wrap around his heart. After 45 minutes, Sins heart disease cooled off and Sin was in instant relief. Sin started laughing to himself. "That fight was exhilarating! Take that you piece of shit god, I will remember you and fuck you up!" Merala then punched Sins stomach, bringing a tear to his eyes as he whimpered like a dog. "The fuck was that for!?" Merala was flying off into a fit of scolding Sin. "Because you deserve that you fucking dumb ass! When will a battle maniac like you, learn to take care of your health for once!?" Sin was trying to appease Merala. "But honey we killed it out there!" "So what if we did, that doesn''t change the fact you nearly lost yourself becoming a mad man who lives for slaughter!" Sin was confused "What the hell do you mean by lost myself?" Merala was already pissed off, thinking Sin was playing around with her she snapped. "Whatever it doesn''t matter anymore!" Midnight Reaper also confirmed that fact. "You were nearly devoured by a Spirit that''s in your heart world. If it wasn''t for me asking if the spirit wanted to experience the Midnight thrust, you''d be as good as dead right now!" Sin finally clued in, then he proceeded to ask Midnight Reaper. "Did you hear a women''s voice?" Now it was Midnight Reapers turn to be confused. "The fuck are you going on about?" Sin sighed to himself. "Never mind then." Midnight Reaper chimed in "You ain''t got no psychiatrists in this world, don''t start going bat shit crazy on us again or your fucked Keyahahahahaha!" Samara bolted to Sin instantly yelling. "Bad dad!" She then proceeded to heal Sin more. Then bite him over and over, as she re healed the bite injuries she caused. Sin finally took note, deciding he has to learn to control his battle lust. "I''m sorry my love, I will control myself more next time." "Hmph!" Was all Samara cared to answer with. She then took her trademark spot and curled up into a ball on his shoulder. Samara tried to act mad at her dad, but as Sin kept tempting her with food. Samara finally caved in "Your still a bad dad! Don''t think just because you''re giving me food, does not mean I am happy with you!" Sin smiled before checking the various logs he had after killing Sorcus. [You have continuously pushed your body beyond a certain threshold. Whether it be stupidity, or through improving yourself in unnatural ways. The world has awarded you for your bravery. Physique increased by +5 points, Strength increased by +5 points.] [You have been awarded 125,000 Merit Points. Total 175,000] [You have successfully killed the disciple of a god encroaching upon the land of Desolate Kingdom. All of the Wolf God Clan have a 50% increase to cultivation, and technique improvement for the next 6 months] [You have fatally injured the Rage Gods soul. There are consequences for every person''s actions. You have been marked by the Rage God. All disciples and any powers under the Rage Gods influence hate you to the bone.] Three blood red exclamation marks appeared, as well as the sound of a trumpet roaring in Sins mind [!!! In 35 days time, a portal from other worlds will open up in Desolate Kingdom. The Rage Gods forces will descend in a random spot. Take heed warrior, your current state will not be up to par for the upcoming calamity!] [You have been awarded 3 Chaos gems, 3 destruction gems.] [You have gained 3,575,000 experience points.] [You have leveled up to level 10. You now have the rights to obtain a class, and one profession.] [You have been given 10 Status points. Unused points: 100] After reading all the logs, Sin decided to ask Merala a question "Honey may I ask what your level is?" Merala answered. "Level 17" Sin then asked. "How many status points do you gain per level?" "5 per level" Sin was lost in deep thought before Merala asked him. Sin answered back honestly "10 per level." Meralas eyes widened before she hatefully looked at Sin. While Sin and Merala were discussing things, a sudden surge of heat began brewing in Sins body. Truth be told, because of how high Sins physique has become. He had lazed off on cultivating his [Divine Dragons Tyrant Wolf King Flame Body Refinement Method] (1) Ever since the night he and Merala had done the dirty. A taichi symbol appeared in Sins mind, one half was the depiction of a phoenix, and then other of a wolf. Suddenly Sins body lit up with a brilliant white flame with gold mixed in, the howling of wolves could he heard, and the cries of a phoenix were mixed within. Another notification appeared in Sins eyesight. [Divine Dragons Tyrant Wolf King Flame Body Refinement Method, has given birth to a new variant flame. The variant flame is at the weakest rarity right now. However, with continuous use and being fed fire essence it may evolve over time.] Merala who saw the new flame was excited. Sirius had shown her the flame created by the mixture of his and Kiralas "union." As she had done the dirty, and created a new variant flame with Sin. Merala was pumped up, it was just a matter of time. She would also get a variant flame from their deeds. The Wolf God Clan, and Phoenix Heart Clan have always shared close ties. When individuals of each clan make love, there is a chance of their refinement methods giving birth to new, and variant flames. Merala with eyes full of yearning said without missing a heartbeat. "Do me now!" Volume 2 chapter 7 Phoenix And Wolf Scale Diagrams Later that night, Sin was cultivating his [Divine Dragons Tyrant Wolf King Flame Body Refinement Method] Sin had named the variant flame created from his and Meralas unison [Phoenix Queen.] While he was continuously rotating it. A formation appeared in his mind sea, within a diagram appeared a single lifelike Phoenix scale. Beside it another diagram of a Wolf without any wolf scales appeared. To advance Sins unique body refinement to the next rank, it would require filling the diagrams with Phoenix scales and Wolf scales. During this he could feel his Mana continuously expanding, while his body was being further tempered. With the continuously flowing stream of Chaos energy feeding his body. Sins progress was sky rocketing, however, Sin was always a patient man. To walk the road he was traversing, one must lay a proper foundation before increasing the flow of traffic. If said foundation was poorly built, worst case scenario would be internal rupturing. Sin took a mental note, he would equally need to form 750 Phoenix, and 750 Wolf scales to further progress. Throughout the whole night, Sin solely focused on his refinement method. Spending 7 1/2 hours straight, Sin was able to form 1 Phoenix and Wolf scale respectively. Considering his refinement method was of the Saint grade, both of these scales would take an individual 2 days each to form. With the formed scales, Sin instantly felt the changes in his body on a cellular level improve. His bones became more condensed, seeing as the sun hand long risen. Sin added some meat into a pot full of broth that was prepared before starting his cultivation. Sin added in rabbit meat to the stew, with the local growing vegetables he could find, mainly potatoes and a odd looking pepper. The aroma of the stew wafted out, as both wife and daughter had woken up. Merala stretched her body out before yawning. Merala walked over and sat on the log beside Sin. "Good morning husband." Merala said while kissing Sin. Samara who had also just stretched out and shaken herself awake, watching this scene unravel, she sent a image of herself puking seeing the affection. Sin smiled before taking out some cube sized deer meat and giving some to tie Samara over. Samara was full of joy, sending another visual of her nuzzling Sins neck while licking his cheek. Sin sent back a simple message. "Enjoy my love, the stew will be ready in 10 more minutes." Sin heard the smacking sound again, before deciphering the "Smells delicious dad" part Samara had sent. After everyone enjoyed the stew, Merala sucked the tent, pots, logs, and other equipment into her storage ring. As everyone was feeling rejuvenated Merala was the first to say. "Husband we need to be more careful. While we were still able to beat Sorcus yesterday, you are able to barely wield a 5th of your power. We need to focus on increasing our pace, your heart disease and bodily condition are constantly developing for the worst. No thanks to your damn battle lust!" Sin decided to stay silent, when a women, especially your wife was telling you where you were wrong. You were best off listening, and then letting it go in one year and then out the other. [The normal guy thing to do.] However, Sin was also aware of his underlying issue. As someone who had reached the ''peak'' of humanity back on earth, coming to a world and continuously finding stronger existences. Sins battle lust had been ignited burning on full cylinders. Sin, Merala and Samara went off beginning their travel for the day. The morning passed relatively peaceful, whatever mutant beasts that charged at them in hordes or as a single entity. Sin had switched his Soul Weapon out for a common grade Sword he looted from the Goblin encampment. The goal of this was to increase his synergy with Merala. Sin had created many ''word codes'' with an underlying meaning to them. Sin used this time to further teach the [Blood Dragon Sword Methods] to Merala, as well as the technique made to further support and defend namely [Blood Dragon Fortress Sword Methods.] To sum it up the [Blood Dragon Sword Methods] were mainly focused on pure attack and destruction. There were no defensive techniques, the [Blood Dragon Fortress Sword Methods] on the other hand was the sheath for the killing blade. After killing a total of 250 wandering Mutant beasts and wiping out 15 hordes. The group had traversed 3,500 kilometers. After supper that night, Sin and Merala sparred against each other. Sin had ordered Samara to buff Merala, while he himself was debuffed. During their sparring, no matter how hard Merala attacked, Sins stance was unshakable. While his strength was severely limited, Sin was a man who could make full use of it, while also guiding and misdirecting his opponent to his will. With every clash, Sin was purposely targeting Meralas weak points. Not only had this benefited himself and Merala, Sin was able to see Merala bring the true essence of [Blood Dragon Fortress Sword Methods] to the light. While training Lan, Sin had discovered he had a new interface in his status page. Namely the [Guidance Page] he could at most add 25 people as registered Guidance Seekers. This provided a hidden buff, increasing their learning rate and capabilities by 200% This was the main reason why Lans potential had exploded. The [Blood Dragon Fortress Sword Methods] as named, was the amalgamation of various defensive Sword Techniques. It was a technique that endlessly flowed like the vast oceans, it became increasingly harder to predict and fight against, eventually making the opponent spend their energy, before delivering the finishing blow. Sin was forced to push his capabilities to the maximum over the hour Merala and Sin had been sparring. Sin was finding himself in a precarious situation, he was no longer able to keep up with Merala. Seeing as both of them had been mentally exhausted, Sin and Merala decided to throw in the towel. After the both of them had got into a clean pair of clothes, Sin sat cross legged in the middle of their camp. Closing his eyes, Sin began rotating the [Phoenix Queen] variant flame, along the Phoenix scale diagram. Unknowingly, Merala had felt the sensation of her refinement technique operating on its own. Feeling the longing of her cells, Merala made her way over to Sin before sitting cross legged in front of him. Both Sins and Meralas refinement techniques formed a bond, connecting their cultivation as a single unit. This further increased the proficiency, Merala had felt her body heat rising. While she knew that it would take quite some time, her eagerness for her own variant flame was growing in anticipation. The night soon passed, Sin feeling the rising temperature knew it was time to get a start on breakfast. When Sin opened his eyes, he was surprised to see Merala cultivating in front of himself. Sin then felt the bond which connected their cultivation. Sin checked the Phoenix and Wolf Scale diagrams, to his surprise their were 2 new scales to each of the diagrams. Seeing this Sin was more than pleased with the results, plus the [Phoenix Queen] flame felt thrice as active than before.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. Despite the shuffling of his clothes when he got up and stretched his body out. Merala was still unaware and hadn''t woken up out of the state she had entered. Seeing how immersed his wife was, Sin went ahead and started making breakfast. Sin was feeding himself, while he was manipulating a spoon with his Mana feeding Samara scrambled eggs. While they were eating Sin felt the changes coming from Merala. Rushing forward he appeared in front of Merala immediately. When Meralas eyes opened up, Sin saw her eyes were lit up with a golden flame flickering within her pupils. When the flickering golden flame was gone, Meralas focus came back as she saw Sins loving smile. "Congratulations my wife, it seems like you made some hearty progress. Are you hungry?" Meralas stomach answered for her before she could voice it. Sin brought a plate over with a heaping amount of bacon, scrambled eggs, and home fries. Letting Merala enjoy her breakfast, Sin went and washed all the dishes in a nearby stream of water. After returning back Merala was patting her stomach in a satisfied matter. "Husbands cooking tastes the best!" Sin and Merala affectionately shared a kiss, before continuing on their journey. In the afternoon, Sin and Merala continued their sparring session. After Meralas improvement, Sin was being pushed back in every way. No matter how hard Sin was applying pressure, Merala was simply a tightly sealed fortress. Not even water could push its way through the cracks. Just as Sin and Merala had finished their clash, Sin whispered in Meralas ears "Blooming Lotus" Sins senses to killing intent have long been honed to extraordinary heights. During their sparring, Sin purposely let a group of ''hidden'' assassins get closer. After whispering in Meralas ear, Sin acted first sending out 12 rays of sword light. Six heads flew through the air, Merala had taken the next step lopping off 9 heads. Sin raised his hand as a forest of pillars appeared, before the surroundings were encased by a dome which then pitch blackness descended. Merala had attached herself to Sins back as his shadow. Using his [Nine Life Steps] Sin and Merala prepared [Flowing Blades] of the Water path. Their attack combined, tripling in size and quantity of water blades. Sin purposely left open a gap, as 12 women out of a 60 member assassin unit were spared. Sins Sword Qi had had formed a chain around each of the assassins neck. "All of you will have 2 seconds to give me the information I need. If you fail to comply, I will just simply have to lop off your ears, slit your eyes, chop off each one of your fingers individually. Then moving onto your arms, and legs leaving you with nothing but your upper body left." While Sin wasn''t a overly cruel man, he had felt these women were sent here to purposely kill Merala. This had infuriated him, and so he would cut the head off the chicken to warn the farmers. "1!" Sin counted aloud with his voice full of killing intent. None of the women spoke "2! Don''t blame me for what happens next." Sin chopped off the left ear of one of the female assassins. A scream of pain was heard after her enraged yelling. "Your a mother fucking monster." Sin chopped off her right ear as he voiced his reply aloud. "I am only a monster to those who wish to harm my loved ones." The womens eyes were full of fear, as she was about to speak up. The leader of the group hushed her. "You might as well just kill us, none of us will reveal anything to you!" Sin smiled before slitting the womens right eye, while making direct eye contact with the leader of this unit. Seeing the steel in her eyes, Sin slit the womens left eye. Then he moved onto chopping off her 10 fingers individually, before chopping off her left and right arm. While the women was screaming in pain, the trauma and terror she felt from Sin was crushing her mentally. She finally spoke up "Azure Dragon Clan!" before she passed out from the pain. Once again, the Azure Dragon Clan was trying to bring harm to his people, and this time it was his wife! This truly sent Sin over his bottom line. Without blinking his eyes, Sin chopped off the womens legs, she was woken up from the pain again. Wailing in sheer terror "Spare me I gave you the answer you wanted!" Sins heart was not moved by her pleading, Sin severed her head before moving onto the next women. Sin spent the next 8 minutes, crippling the women one by one before killing. The leader of this assassin unit was blaming the man known as Glaze. However, there was no way to turn back time. And even if she did, Sin would still slaughter those who wished to harm his wife mercilessly. The womens spirit was broken, tears were running down her eyes as she was begging for her life. "I will be your sex slave, I will do anything you want please don''t kill me. I have a 4 year old daughter at home waiting for her mother." Just as Sin was about to chop off the leaders head, Merala barked out from behind "That''s enough Sin!" Just as the women felt the sharp blade against her neck, she was spared because of Meralas forgiving nature. Merala went over and kneeled in front of the women. "I do not know why the Azure Dragon Clan is trying to harm me. I know you''re not a bad person, and merely just following someones orders. If it weren''t for you mentioning your daughter, I would have let my husband torture you as well." Just as Merala was making her way back to Sin, the women reached for a dagger hidden in her stockings. Before she was given the chance to succeed her attempt on Merala, her head was sent flying rolling over to the pile of other severed heads. Merala looked at Sin before she sighed to herself. "I will not ask, nor do I want you to explain. All I know is you did everything to protect me. However, regardless of enemy or not. You could have showed some mercy. Not all of them deserved to die!" Sin was silent, he could feel Merala was emotionally distraught after seeing what he had done. He did not offer any excuses, he just simply said. "My wife is the most precious person to me in this world! It doesn''t matter how ruthless I have to be so that I can protect you. If it weren''t for you, I would still be the lost man I was when I first came to this world. No amount of lives in this world could compare to a single hair on your head in my eyes!" Merala was touched, but she was still shaken up. She had never seen the ''dark side'' of Sin. This was the first time, and it had made her wish she never seen it. Not because she was too young and couldn''t handle it. But because she started thinking, if she was an enemy on the other end of Sins wrath. She knew there would be nothing in this world that could save her. They began their journey once again, Sin was silent the entire time. He was also ahead of Merala, giving her the space she needed. During supper that night, Merala hadn''t eaten anything. She simply looked at her plate of food, unwilling to touch it. Sin wasn''t insulted, nor was he expecting her to be ''okay'' after seeing his previous deeds. After a long moment of Silence, Merala broke the stifled atmosphere. "I am sorry that I ever doubted you even for a second husband." Tears were streaming out of Meralas eyes. Sin stood up and was about to hug her, but he hesitated. Seeing this, Merala knew Sin thought she was terrified of him. Proving to him that she wasn''t, Merala threw herself into Sins embrace. Sin was finally reassured, and so he hugged Merala tightly into his chest affectionately rubbing her hair. "I am sorry you had to see that side of me my precious wife." Merala may have been shaken up, however, in her husbands embrace. She felt the safest she ever did in her whole life. "You do not need to apologize, I know everything you do is meant to protect me. I am thankful for it, that was just the first time I saw something so cruel before." Sin felt horrible, but he knew it was a side of himself Merala would eventually find. It just happened a lot sooner than he would''ve expected. Volume 2 Chapter 8 Team Leader Versus The Commander The next 4 days passed peacefully, Sin and Merala continued their sparring matches. Merala was starting to make Sin fearful, each day that passed. Sin was struggling to keep up with Meralas growth, taking his bodies condition into consideration it was very normal. However, Merala was showing signs of awakening a Sword Heart, something that Sin had chased after since being on earth. Sin was beyond happy for Merala, if she could truly awaken a Sword Heart. Sin would be able to experience it personally. Along their way Sin felt the spirit of his Soul Weapon get attracted to something. While the spirit hadn''t fully developed, their connection was already made. Following the attraction, Sin and Merala arrived at a huge temple. Outside of it there were all kinds of swords scattered over the place. With each step they went forward, they could feel a devastating Sword Qi challenge them. Sin and Merala began operating at full output, making their way together hand in hand. This notion alone however, caused the difficulty of it to rise exponentially. After walking half way, a strong sensation of Sword Heart descended upon Sin and Merala. Their breaths became bated, the Sword Heart was like the will of an empyrean sword saint. Gashes started appearing like a storm of locusts on Sin and Merala. Their Sword Hearts surged as they made their way forward, unbeknownst to them the first 450 meters which felt like seconds to them, really took more than 1 hour to traverse. And there was still another good 550 meters left. Both Sin and Merala continued on hand in hand, there was nothing going to make them stop their progress. After another 5 hours, they had finally managed to make it to the gates of the temple. On the outside gates, Sin and Merala finally noticed a long sword scar left behind on the palace. It was unknown where the temple originated from, or if it even belonged to [Desolate Kingdom] to begin with. But one thing was for sure, this was a space to cultivate the Sword Heart. Sin and Merala made their way inside, when they got inside the main hall. It had clear white marble flooring without impurities, there were littered Swords all over the place. But there was one in the middle of the hallway, it was stabbed into a stone plate on the ground, and had 4 knights in armour surrounding it. Their curiosity was piqued, but Sin knew there was no prizes without a test. They made their way to the end of the hall opening up the doors. After they left the main hall, there was sword shaped tower piercing through the heavens waiting for them. Upon closer inspecting there was a tablet with human writing on it that said "Tower Of Sword Heart. Two may enter at a time, however, the difficulty and challenges you will face will go beyond a mortal level. Conquerors walk the path of loneliness and a solitary blade, or partnership and a sociable blade. Ignite your Sword Heart ablaze, and cut through the damnation of demons! Time disparity: 1 day outside, is equivalent to 2 years inside." Meralas eyes were full of longing after reading the sentence on the tablet. Sin took this chance to give Merala the opportunity. "Would you like to stay here my wife?" Meralas eyes were transfixed, and her awakening Sword Heart was heating up with passion. Merala hadn''t even taken notice of Sin trying to get her attention until he shook her. "Husband I want to stay here. I don''t know why, but I feel something inside this palace is calling for me." Merala said with extreme eagerness. Seeing this Sin was finally appeased. "Very well my wife, we will meet up at the Vermilion Bird Clan when you''ve come out from here." Merala still had her grudges, but after Sirius reminded her they were also considered allies of the Wolf God Clan, she had put her hostility to the side. "Okay be safe husband. I feel like fate is guiding us here, and to the capital city. Please be careful, the waters run deep in Desolate Kingdom." Merala said before hugging and kissing Sin. Sin took Meralas warning to heart. "Don''t worry my wife, husband is undefeatable!" Sin returned Meralas hug and kiss before wishing her the best on a breakthrough. Sin returned to the main hall, and just as he was about to leave. An archaic voice drifted into his ears. "Do you not wish for my inheritance young one?" Sin stopped in place before answering. "There''s no need for it, my wife felt something calling for her in here. It is not my place to fight over it with her." The archaic voice sounded pleased. "Your words just saved your wife''s life. If you were such a petty person, I would have had the trials here kill her. Merala was it? If she passes my trials, I will be taking her as my direct apprentice. I''m sure you would have no issues with that?" Sins killing intent flared momentarily before he brought it back under control. "It is not my decision to make, it is up to my wife. She is free to choose what her heart wants. All I will say is, if your in it with the Rage God. I will slaughter you just as I will his forces." The archaic voice felt the challenge. "And so what if I am? Do you think mere mortals like you can take us on?" Sins eyes were steady. "There is no thinking about it. I know I will make blood rain if I am made to do so!" Sin walked out of the palace continuing his trip towards the capital city. The archaic voice he heard gave him a sense of urgency. The time was ticking, only 30 days left until the Rage Gods forces descended. And his gut feeling was telling him, it would be at the capital city. As Sin had left and continued on his journey, a gaseous figure appeared. "This mortal is worth further appraisal, Shana follow him but do not make your presence known to him. As for his wife Merala, I will be taking care of her training personally." One of the knights in the main hall cupped a hand to its heart. "Yes master, it shall be done." it replied before the armour dismantled, revealing the figure of a women in a crystal blue dress. Long snow white hair flowed down her shoulders, and her eyes were like perfect cyan crystals. The gaseous figure was left behind thinking to himself. "This is all that I can do to protect your wife young one, fate has already been set in motion. Hopefully you will not be another mindless killing machine." ------------------------------------------- Another 5 days passed and Sin finally arrived at the capital city. Along his way, he had collected many cores of mutated beasts. Just as he had paid a fee to enter the capital city, 20 sources of stifling killing intent locked onto himself, separating him from the bustling crowd into an independent space. A smile hung on Sins face. "Falcon, Skull, Witch, Jane, Mono, Aeris, Mara, Shogi, Axel, Sadie, Jack, Brute, Lucifer, Shadow, Alma, Sara, Zara, Lance, Sky, Seraphim. It is nice seeing all of my brothers and sisters again. The twenty figures bowed down on one knee in front of Sin. "Team leader it is nice to see your doing well. Please do not hold this against us, we are just following the orders of the commander." Sin raised his hand. "There''s no need for explanations, I know how it goes. So now I must ask you all this, are you prepared for what comes next?" Sins killing intent erupted, as he flipped a switch in his mind. His killing intent billowed out, taking form as cries of despair, pain and agony could be heard. After the cries and wails faded, a blood red dragon appeared. Hovering in the sky circling around Sin, as it stared down at the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team members. And what truly frightened them most. Midnight Reaper was the Amidamaru on Sins back, and Sin was Yoh Asakura. [Referencing Shaman King here] All the others began backing up, as sweat poured from their bodies like torrential flooding. All of the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team members, felt a tingling sensation on their necks. They all raised their hands to their necks, taking their hands away they were drenched in blood. Seraphim was the one most affected by this. "Not even commander glazes killing intent has materialized to such a degree!" Sin raised his hand taunting them. "Come!" Seeing as none of them dared inch forward, Sin added oil into the frying pan. "Come on you bunch of pussies! Your commander has given you orders, and you''re still lolly gagging like a bunch of scared little shits. In which case you should be." Sin smiled provokingly, raising his hand once again yelling out. "Come and show me what you buncha pussies are made of! Well except for Seraphim, Mara, Zara, Sara, Sky, Aeris, Sadie, Alma, Jane, and Witch for the obvious reasons." And all the men took exception to that. Sin stuck with what was tried and proven true, no matter what world you lived in. If you called a man a pussy, 10 out of 10 times he''d fight to the death as if you just insulted his mother''s potato salad. Lucifer took the lead, and all the others dispersed surrounding Sin in a triangular imprisonment. Then the women filled in the cracks, forming a square formation around the men''s formation. Everyone channeled all their Mana, and energy into Lucifer. The strongest heavy hitter amongst them. Sin whistled with elation, as memories flooded his mind. However, since he flipped his switch. There was no guarantee of anyone leaving without a price to pay. Sin and Lucifer met each other, blow for blow. The resulting impacts caused heavy tolls on the others energy. Sin was truly like a primordial dragon, each blow was with the weight of his entire being. And his killing intent further enhanced this, each attack was a sure kill. If either men slipped up, it would prove to have devastating results. Sin and Lucifer traded blows non stop for three hours straight, finally the supporters energy had run dry. Sin landed a heavy punch on Lucifers solar plexus, dropping the man to his knees as all the contents inside his stomach were emptied. Sin flashed about all the other members, as they were Mana drained. It was as simple like killing blind people. All the other 19 members were met with severe injuries. But when it came to Seraphim, Sin saw the true horror and fear in her eyes, as his fist was about to make contact with her stomach.This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. Sins Mana surged, he felt the traces of a new life about to be brought to this world. Sin flipped his switch off, immediately stopping his fist from taking an unborn life away from this world. "Congratulations Seraphim, you will make a fine mother." Sin said with a look of happiness in his eyes. Sins ears twitched, the independent space cracked and another man appeared in front of Seraphim, with a 15 inch dagger drawn across Sins throat. Sins eyes were emotionless. "Long time no see brother." In front of him was Glaze, the commander of the whole Blood Dragon Mercenary Team. Glaze turned his head, making direct contact with her stomach. Sensing the life still within, Glaze let out a long sigh of relief. Ever since the fight began in the independent space, Glaze had been worried sick. Desperately turning over every stone in the capital city looking for Seraphim. Glaze took his abnormally long dagger from Sins neck. "I see even Midnight has some mercy nowadays." Sin looked into Glazes eyes. "You ordered our brothers and sisters to hunt me down." Glaze scratched the back of his head. "Its not like I wanted to. You know how it goes for us mercenaries. We''ve been paid big money, and so our duties are absolute of the buyers wishes." Sin however, was not pleased with this answer. "Since when did you become someones bitch!? Do you think I don''t know you, even during that time you never killed me when you had the chance to do so!" Glazes eyes was full of indecisiveness. "No matter what the case is, you have always been superior to me. Even though you never fought over with the position of commander with me. Everyone else had more faith, and respect in you than me. I have been tired of constantly living in the shadow of Sin. Today is the day I will break this long 10 year scar!" Sin smiled with a face full of expectations. "Very well, let us see what you can do brother!" Sin unequipped his armour and weapon, leaving his toned and chiseled body bare to the eyes of everyone present. All that was left, was his combat boots and pants. Even during this time, the women all stared with hearts in their eyes. Sky the loose lipped one instantly said. "God damn, my cat just meowed if you know what I mean sisters!" Glaze coughed overhearing this, but then continued taking off his armour and weapon. Leaving just his combat boots and pants. Sky instantly booed seeing this "Your invisible lat syndrome is still as notorious as it use to be commander." Glaze was fuming at this point. "Would you just shut the fuck up already! Besides whose side are you really on!?" "Preferably on top of that monstrous man" Sin spoke out harshly. "That is enough Sky, now is not the time for shits and giggles!" But the smile on his face was rather hard to contain. Sky grumbled unhappily "What a mood killer. Well sisters, we have a good match to watch. Two sexy hunks of men are about to go at it raw!" Sin and Glaze tuned their surroundings out of their mind. Both men yelled simultaneously. "Let''s begin!" Both men had rushed forward to each other, hands clasped in a power struggle, neither willing to be beaten by the other. Sin and Glaze smashed foreheads, while Sin raised his knee into Glazes gut. Sin went down to the ground, with both hands supporting himself, Sin swept out his foot tripping Glaze. Mounting Glaze, Sin began raining punches down onto his face. Glaze caught Sins fist, before locking Sins legs in a 8 figure lock. Glaze rained punches into Sins ribcage. Sins elbow smashed Glazes fist, bringing a sharp snapping sound. Glazes lock loosened up just enough, but this was more than Sin needed to get out of it. Sin and Glaze flashed towards each other, both with a fist meeting each others face. Sin clutched onto Glazes arm, his left elbow found its place in Glazes nose uttering a sharp crunching sound. Glazes leg swept out into Sins stomach, sending him skidding backwards. Glaze dashed forward, his hands reaching out pulling Sins head downwards into his knee. Blood splurged out, as a deep gash was left on Sins forehead. Sins index and middle finger stabbed underneath Glazes ribcage. Grabbing onto a bone, Sin ripped it out of Glazes body before smashing it downwards on his head. Glaze remained steadfast as his fist met the center of Sins chest. Sins sternum ushered a sharp snap, as he felt a bone pierce his left lung. Sins breathing became more difficult immediately. However, since his Phoenix and Wolf scales forming. His organs had been reinforced many times over. What was once life threatening, only became a deadly blow. Both men launched their fists into each others face. Drawing blood from each other, both men began wailing on each other like no tomorrow. Sky and co who were watching this fight proceed were excited. While Seraphim was anxiously watching, with a hand on her stomach. Sky noticed this and comforted her. "Don''t worry sister, they will not kill each other." Three hours passed, Sin was no longer able to fight off the pains of his heart disease. Sins already heavy breathing from his punctured lung worsened. And then he went extremely pale, and his eyesight became blurry. Sin failed to dodge the incoming fist. Being launched flying backwards Sin fell on the ground, wheezing while drenched in sweat and blood. Glaze stood in front of Sin, stomping his foot on top of Sins left hand breaking it. "Now stay down you undying mother fucking cockroach! Your no longer worthy enough with your heart disease." Glaze turned his back and started walking towards Seraphim, then he suddenly stopped before turning his head backwards. To his shock Sin was standing up, filled to the brim with fighting intent once again. Sin was shaking like a leaf, raggedly he managed to ask. "How do you know?" "Isn''t it obvious? You fought Alarune like the 9th generation Wolf King did. Not only that, she also used her tasteless poison which corrodes the heart until it becomes completely devoured." Sin roared out loud in fury. "You''ve become a bitch of the Demons!" "So what if I have. I had to choose the winning side, if not I wont be able to guarantee anyone''s life." Sin gathered all of his Mana into his fists. Forming a black-white aura around them. "I am far from done yet!" Glaze copied Sin. "Do you think you can really beat me in your current state? Your so weak if I were to fart right now you''d be blown over!" Glaze flashed above Sin punching downwards with all his might. Sin opened his fist capturing Glazes fist in his palm. His right hand flared with [Midnight Glory] landing a solid punch on his forehead. Sin then grabbed Glazes right foot in mid air. And begun smashing him down into the ground like the hulk does. After Sin was done, two 8 meter deep craters were left in the wake, on his left and right side. Glaze walked out comfortably from the crater. "Your strength is depleting Sin. How much more do you expect to achieve!?" Glaze appeared in front of Sin, punching Sin in the gut launching him into the air. Chasing into the air after Sin like a rocket. Glaze punched downwards, tearing through Sins left pectoral. Glaze ripped his hand out, latching onto Sins right arm, and began spinning his entire body. Forming a cyclone of air, before letting go sending Sin into the ground below. Leaving a deep crater in the ground, Sins right arm was snapped with the bone visible. Glaze shot down like a rocket stomping on Sins chest, shattering many bones. Reaching downwards, Glaze grabbed Sin by the hair lifting him up. Letting go of Sins body, Glaze started raining punches and kicks into Sins body. Blood poured out from Sin, powerless he was taking the beating. Glaze finished the combo with a brazilian kick, while he thought to himself "SSSensational!!!" [DMC 5 the real one] Sin was launched skidding through the ground once again. Just as he was about to fall to the ground, Sin barely managed to keep himself standing. Gritting his teeth, just as he combined his Qi and Mana together to activate Implosion. Blood gushed out from the 7 orifices, and steam began to rise from Sins body. "Igniting your life essence to operate a berserk ability in your state is no different then asking for death Sin!" Glaze said disdainfully, Sin ignored the taunt as he went forward once again. Both men were in a deadly lock, blow after blow rammed into each others body. Sin forced Implosion into over drive. Running it for over three more hours straight. Glaze was starting to weaken, and feel the heat from Sins crazy onslaught. While Sins eyes lost their focus, and his life was walking on a very thin wire. Sins punches kept getting harder and heavier, eventually Glaze was becoming overwhelmed. In hysterics Glaze started yelling like a maniac. "You mother fucking monster! Why won''t you just stay the fuck down! Why don''t you just die already god damn it!" Glaze sent all of his remaining power into his fist. Piercing through Sins abs, and coming out from the other side. Sin coughed up massive amounts of blood. But his embodiment kept getting bigger, and bigger in Glazes eyes. Sins fist connected with Glazes chest, sending him skidding backwards 200 meters. "Impossible I do not believe it! I refuse to believe it. I am the commander of the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team! I refuse to be bested by another human of lower quality than myself!" Glaze was going mad in his self denial. Sins voice echoed out. "Your fists are light Glaze, they have no dreams or people to protect!" "Do you feel the weight my fists carry? Do you feel the countless hope''s and dreams my fists carry? Do you feel the weight of life and death my fists carry!?" "Your fists are weak in comparison!" A brilliant black-white golden flame was burning on Sins fist. Sin launched himself forward smashing his fist into Glazes gut. Glaze was sent flying, before being stopped by an invisible barrier. Upon landing, cracks and snaps sounded out. Blood exploded out of Glazes body, as he powerlessly fell face down. [Phoenix Queen Fist] Sin bellowed defying the heavens and roaring out in his victory. "AND THAT''S THE MOTHER FUCKING REASON WHY YOU''LL NEVER BE BETTER THAN ME!" The independent space shattered into particles of light. As Sin was walking by Glaze. A hand weakly gripped onto his foot. "We are not done here you mangy mutt!" Sin continued walking by. "Your a man who will soon be a father Glaze! Your life no longer belongs to just yourself!" As Sin was walking on into the night. Glazes voice weakly echoes out. "Let our blood be spilled on the battlefield. Through the good and bad, we are brothers united by our blood oath. If either betrays the other, I will claim his life before taking my own." "That''s the oath we have sworn as brothers! Kill me now Sin!" Glaze bellowed. Sin didn''t so much as turn around before his voice was heard once more. "Brothers and sisters, take that foolish bastard to go and recover. He is not worth me staining my hands with his blood." Before Sin had disappeared from eye sight. Seraphim yelled out two simple words, which contained so much more than a women could express in such a situation. "Thank you!" Sin kept walking into the night, as he raised his hand up before disappearing from everyone''s vision. Before Sirius had passed away, he had shown Sin a map of the capital city. The Vermilion Bird Clan was circled in red, and Sirius gave him proper instructions to get there from entering the main city gates. Following the path based off of memory, Sin arrived 2 hours later. A trail of blood and sweat followed from behind. When the assassins patrolling the perimeter saw Sins bloodied figure approach. They were about to make their move. Then they saw Sin drop to the ground, and a puddle of blood spread out from underneath his body. The Vermilion Bird Matriarch appeared, dispelling the assassins killing intent. "There''s no need to be on guard. What do you think the near death 10th generation Wolf King can do in his condition?" The assassins were stunned hearing this. They were loyal to the matriarch, her words were absolute in their hearts. "Bring him into the Clan now, send out people and clean the blood trail. Their are traitors amongst our clans, who wish to butter up to the demons. Do not give them said chance, kill anybody on sight who are within the vicinity, and those following the Wolf Kings trail of blood." "Yes ma''am." The assassins saluted before disappearing, over 600 figures rushed out following their Matriarchs orders. Ariya sighed seeing the condition Sin was in. "You''re just like Sirius was back in the day, your life is not yet ready to come to a end" Ariya picked Sin up before making her way back into the clan. Placing Sins unconscious body into a glass medical machine with a green substance. Ariya hooked up an oxygen mask to Sin, and many other pads and patches to the major injuries before shutting it tight. Ariya emotionally looked at the man in the medical machine, the figure of Sirius'' intermixed with Sins, the man who holds the highest position in her heart. "You must pull through this young Wolf King! The stars of destiny guided you here, your flame of life is not yet ready to be snuffed!" Volume 2 Chapter 9 Recovery After Glaze and Sin had fought so hard for so long. Seraphim brought Glaze back to their hideout. Seraphim treated all of the wounds on Glaze that she could. Glaze was in a daze, as his eyes watched the night sky lifelessly. "I lost to him again, even with our oath he wouldn''t kill me." Seraphim yelled in anger. "Why must you die you idiot! Do you not want to see our daughter be born!?" Glaze stared out into the vast sky, looking for answers. "I''m sorry I could never be the man you thought of me as. Sin is right compared to his fists, mine are light. Sin has always been protecting his family and loved ones, where as I have only ever been fighting for myself." A loving smile spread upon Seraphims face. She brought Glazes hand to her stomach. "Fight to protect our precious daughter." Glaze looked Seraphim in the eyes. "How can I protect our daughter? Humans are doomed, and the demons look at us as if we are food." Seraphims eyes were unwavering. "Tear them out from the inside, the demon lord has high hope for you. Use it against him, dealing a fatal blow to demons in Desolate Kingdom." --------------------------- Sin had spent 5 full days in the medical machine before being taken out. His body had been greedily absorbing the substance. Numerous Wolf and Phoenix scales formed. This had Greatly shocked the Vermilion Bird Clan, the longest period one would normally spend inside to recover was 4-6 hours tops. After Sin was brought out, Reiya bandage wrapped his body, applying a medicinal paste to the bandages. Sin was then moved to Reiyas home, the men who were ordered to bring Sin there struggled. But with Reiyas rebuttal, none dared to slack a second longer. Reiya was full of expectation, although Sin was unconscious. Following their traditions, Sin was her husband in name. While he couldn''t be given any solid foods, or many liquids for that matter. Reiya would mix sugar into a cup of water, taking a mouthful she would feed it to Sin mouth to mouth. Stopping his body from becoming dehydrated, and also giving the body some ''life'' to speed up the recovery process. Besides that, despite knowing everything she would say fell on deaf ears. Reiya would tell many stories she knew, hoping her voice would guide Sins consciousness to reawaken. Five days passed like this, and then Reiya said a word that resonated with Sin. "Husband." Sins finger twitched in accordance. Reiya thought she was seeing things, until she saw Sins finger twitch again upon her saying "husband." Later that night, Sins eyes opened up. The moment he had awoken, he felt alive, but his body was screaming out in indignation. There were notifications waiting for him to read, however, he was in a unfamiliar environment. Sins memory was hazy, all he could remember was fighting the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team and commander Glaze. Everything that happened after the fight was blank. Sin tried getting up from the bed, his wounds reopened bloodying his bandages. Biting through the pain, Sins body spasmed falling off the bed, creating a loud thud and Sin whimpering like a dog, knocking the air out of himself. "Who the fuck made the bed so low to the floor!" [Imagine the teletubbies on helium saying this.] Sin heard the door open up, followed by an enchanting voice. "Well husband aren''t you just full of piss and vinegar!" Sin smiled "Hell yeah I am! How was your training my wi-" Sin looked up to see Merala, but was given a shock seeing a completely different women. "Who the bloody fucking hell are you!?" Sin shouted aloud. Reiya smiled mischievously. "Someone who has taken care of you. That''s who the bloody fucking hell I am." "But you just called me husband?" Sin had a questioning tone. Playful laughter was heard. "Of course I did. You are my husband following the tradition." Reiya said without hesitation in her voice. "Here we go with this shit again." Sin muttered to himself while rolling his eyes. [Picture this as if Sin were Karen from Mean Girls.] Reiya stared daggers into Sins eyes, what do you mean by "Here we go with this shit again?" Sin being the smart man as he was saved his own ass. "Nothing at all." Then Sin heard a mature voice of a ruler. "Reiya you may escort yourself out of here. The Wolf King and I have some matters to discuss." Reiya was going to further argue. That was until she heard what Ariya had to say next. "I popped you out of my body 20 years ago, don''t make me put you back up there." Reiya took exception to that and escorted herself out. Seeing as the greatest cause for headache since waking up has left, Sin sighed out in relief. Sin sat down with his back against the bed holding himself up. He stared Ariya up and down, looking for any hints of ill intention. Ariya strode forward, placing a hand out in front of Sins reach. "There''s no need for such a deep analysis, I do not mean you any harm." Sin grabbed Ariya''s hand, proving her words true to Sin, there was no hostile intent behind her actions. Sin finally let his guard down. "I will take it you''re an ally?" "No need for such conversations right now, follow me out into the dining hall. I''m sure you must be starving, it has been over 10 days since you''ve been receiving intensive care." Sins eyes shot out of his eyes like in the cartoons. "10 days?" Sin checked the timer for the descent of the Rage Gods forces. [25 days remaining. Warrior take heed, you''re barely acceptable to face this oncoming enemy force.] Sin stopped in place. "I thank you for the treatment you have provided me, I do not have time to sit and twiddle my thumbs. I will take my leave now." Just as Sin was about to leave, an enormous pressure fell down onto him. Crushing his body frame into the ground, leaving a human silhouette indentation in the ground. "There is no need to rush is there? Your bodily condition has only healed a quarter of your remaining injuries and problems. A dumb ass like you would be nothing but a sitting duck. Now do you want to walk to the dining hall yourself, or will I have to drag you by the neck like an abandoned dog?" The image of Ariya became truly frightening in Sins eyes. "No ma''am I will behave myself." Sin said like a child being scolded by his parents with a slap on the wrist.This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. A cheerful smile appeared on Ariya''s face again. "Good. Now let''s go, I am starving!" Sin followed in suit, with his head down to the ground kicking pebbles along the way. "Scary ass women." Sin muttered underneath his breath. "Pardon, I didn''t quite hear that correct. Care to run that by me once more?" Sin zipped his mouth while whistling a tune to himself. He found a particular tile that was especially shiny and fascinating to stare at. Seeing this Ariya shook her head all the while thinking to herself. "He is exactly like how Sirius was back in the day." After arriving at the dining hall, Sin and Ariya sat down across from each other. Various servants began bringing in various platters of food. Sin drooled smelling the many enticing aromas, noticing his less than deserving appearance. Sin gulped controlling himself. His stomach on the other hand had other plans. It let out this loud grumble, sounding like a prehistoric Tyrannosaurus Rex. Seeing as Ariya didn''t begin filling her plate with food, Sin didn''t dare act out of line no matter how hungry he was. This was another form of discipline drilled into his personality. Ariya motioned her hand, giving Sin permission to go ahead. Sin politely declined. "After you ma''am. I cannot allow myself to begin before yourself." Ariya was stunned, but didn''t fret over it. After filling her plate, Sin began filling his. Both had eaten well over enough to fill 15 grown men. Ariya patted her stomach in satisfaction. "Now that we have eaten, it should be time to get onto the serious matters no?" "How is the Wolf God Clan connected to the Phoenix Heart Clan, and the Vermilion Bird Clan?" Sin questioned first. "All three of our clans are connected, I am sure since you''ve already had a ''unison'' with the young phoenix matriarch. You have formed a wolf, and phoenix scale diagram correct?" Sin nodded his head. "Good that makes it easy. The ancestor of my clan, and the Phoenix Heart Clan had fallen in love with the ancestor of the Wolf God Clan. The Wolf God Clan ancestor loved both women dearly, their blood, mana, and qi combined creating a unique God tier body refinement method. Since you have only formed a ''union'' with one of the two, your method has only reached Saint rank. You also haven''t awoken the true power of that Sacred Flame of the body refinement method either." "I feel our 3 clans can still be considered allies, I do not see our relationship being strained or broken. However, that is up to the younger generation to decide the future of our clans. Considering there are 2 alpha''s who may one day end up fighting over you, best of luck young Wolf King. I do not know how the ancestor did it back in the day, but I can assure you it won''t be so easy this time around." Sin sighed to himself "Aye..... I don''t even want to begin imagining it." Ariya''s eyes rose. "You don''t seem so excited at 2 young matriarchs throwing themselves at you?" "Not at all, my heart has already decided who my wife is. There is no room for anymore distractions in my heart. I''ve been through enough of that hell hole called depression." Sin said rather apologetically to Ariya. "I see that you''re a man of great heart. I will not delve into matters that are your own. However, I must ask of you. If my daughter is to ever go to the Wolf God Clan, or if I am ever to die one day. Can you protect her?" Sin was thinking to himself. "What the fuck is up with all these mothers throwing their god damn daughters at me?" This was not the answer that came out of his mouth thankfully. "I cannot make any promises outside of the Wolf God Clan, or my own presence. I hope that answer is suitable enough?" Ariyas eye brows rised while looking Sin in the eyes. Sins palms got sweaty, and his right cheek was already stinging. Feeling the imaginary slap mark that may, or may not become a reality. "That is good enough, with your word I can feel at ease." Ariya went back to smiling happily. Sin lets out a great long sigh of release, while wiping off the cold sweat that formed on his forehead. Ariya playfully asked. "Why does it seem like you just survived a life and death situation?" Sin answered honestly. "A smart man will have a distinct fear of when a women''s eyes rise, especially so when making direct eye contact." Ariya let out an understanding laughter. "A smart man you are, you''re the exact same as Sirius. If those events never happened in the past, I truly would fall for you young Wolf King. Your young, handsome, caring for your women, and abnormally strong. What women wouldn''t desire such a man as yourself?" "I''m honoured to hear that Matriarch, I''m sorry to ask out of the blue. I feel a bloodline connection to Reiya through my body refinement method. Is she Sirius''s daughter by any chance?" Ariya was in a daze hearing this question. Seeing her emotional turmoil, Sin quickly apologized for tearing open any scars. Ariya made her decision and answered Sins question. "When Sirius was in his early 20''s me and him had met. We were attracted to each other through emotions, and not our bloodlines calling. Sirius took my treasure, and gave me something every women yearns for sometime in their life. Being a mother." "Reiya was born with an innate Divine Body, something that has never existed within Desolate Kingdom before. Maybe outside of our borders into the central continent. Or even from another higher world, or galaxy for that matter." "It took Reiya well over 70 years to be born. Her Divine Body had to absorb crazy amounts of natural Mana, and richer sources of various higher energies. I never told Sirius I was pregnant with his child. He fell in love with Kirala, and our past events would never let us share what we once had, I wasn''t willing to put the man I loved through the wringer. And so I gave birth to my daughter, with no one else knowing her origins besides me." Sin wanted to say something, but he found there was nothing he could say to ease that amount of pain. Ariya was appreciative, and handed over a vial something shocking to Sin. "Inside this vial contains the essence of the Wolf King, Phoenix Matriarch, and Vermilion Matriarch ancestors. This will evolve your Sacred Flame, and bring your refinement method up to the God rank. This will bring many benefits, first being completely healing your bodies condition to 100% And the second your heart disease, everything else it will provide is raw power." Sin wanted to deny the gift before he could though, Ariya cut him off raising her hand. "There''s no need, think of it as me trying to invest in my daughters future. You gave your word to protect her, this should help a great deal with it. There''s no more to be said, you have 20 days remaining before destiny arrives. Make the most of it while you can." Ariya raised from her seat, and flashed out of existence leaving Sin with multitudes of unanswered questions. Sin returned to his chamber, opening up the vial, he took a whiff of the aroma the pills were emitting. "Time to nut up or shut up." Sin thought to himself before popping pills. The moment the pills entered his mouth, they dissolved immediately. A Vermilion Bird diagram appeared beside the Wolf and Phoenix diagrams. Sins [Phoenix Queen] flame began rotating and growing stronger, while his cells and organs were like wind chimes excitedly singing in the wind. Numerous Wolf, Phoenix, and Vermilion Bird scales started appearing. Over an unknown period of time, a murky liquid was being pushed out of his body. While his bones, cells, and organs were constantly being fed pure Yin and Yang energies. The old scales that had formed, were being deconstructed and reconstructed. Becoming even stronger than before. Sins body refinement method evolved to the God grade. And his [Phoenix Queen] Sacred Flame became thrice as strong, compared to Midnight Glory when equipped with the Midnight Reaper Mask. During the evolution, Sin was shocked to find a 4th diagram of a blood dragon. However, when he delved deeper into it. A notification had appeared in front of him. "You have yet to gain acceptance from the Dragon Diagram." After 7 days the fast improvements slowed down, Sin managed to earn 150 scales of each of the 3 diagrams. While it was much less that would have been formed as a Saint grade method. The quality was far superior, his body and very being on a cellular level spoke the truth about it. Sin opened his eyes feeling like a brand new man. He had finally recovered to 100% Most important of all, his heart disease was also cured. The first thing he saw was Reiyas charming, and rather enticing smile. As any man would be happy being welcomed by such a beautiful women. It was not Merala, his wife who made him awaken from the pit he dug his heart so deep into. Seeing Sins less than excited look in his eyes, Reiya snorted before walking away. But she didn''t forget to sway her hips. Time to delve into some notifications Sin thought to himself. [Your Divine Dragons Tyrant Wolf King Flame Body Refinement Method had upgraded from Saint rank, to the God Rank. However, there is still room for improvement.

Ice and fire Mana skills, and element techniques now deal 50% more damage] Volume 2 Chapter 10 Clipping The Azure Dragon Clans Wings After leaving the Vermilion Bird Clan in the afternoon, Sin went to their personal blacksmith. After arriving at the blacksmith''s shop, Sin cupped his hands together, before asking aloud. "I am looking for Smith Icarus." A young man in his late 20s came out. "I am Icarus, how may I help you sir?" Sin handed over a couple forging prints and manuals. After seeing Icarus'' eyes light up in excitement. Sin no longer beat around the bush. "With your current capabilities, how long do you think it would take to finish all of them?" Icarus took a while longer in deep thought before answering. "Give me 5 hours, may I ask where these prints came from?" Sin didn''t lie, nor did he tell the truth either. "Some ideas that I always had, just not the proper tools to complete." Icarus nodded "Come back in 5 hours, no need for payment. If you have anymore to give, I''d be honoured to craft more for you sir." Sin tossed out 5 more prints. "Do your best, I will drop by tomorrow evening with your payment." Sin left Icarus'' shop, making his way over to the alchemists association. After arriving at the front counter, a young child was arming the counter. Sin put five gold coin on the counter, sliding it over to the young kid. "Could you show me to your premium selections?" The child had a conflicted look, "I cannot make that decision until the shop keeper comes back. I can bring you up to the second and third floors though." The child pushed the gold coins back to Sin. Sin grabbed the coins, and flicked his wrist. The coins silently, and lightly fell into the child''s pocket. After being brought up to the second floor, Sin picked out a bunch of colourless, and odorless poisons. After taking 400 gold coins worth, Sin went up to the third floor. Picking out the most lethal killing, and paralytic poisons. Adding another 740 gold coins worth. During the process, 1 hour passed and the middle aged shop keeper came towards Sin. "Greetings young man, I hear you''re looking for some behind the counter specialties?" Sin answered back. "Yes sir, the more lethal the better." The shop keeper gazed questioningly. "Are you going out on a bounty hunt?" Sin smiled back. "Stocking up supplies for my comrades in arms, they''re all too busy chasing tail at the taverns." A look of realization came to the shop keepers face. "Very well, I''ll show you our shops prized concoctions." The man brought Sin back to the 1st floor, flipping a lever underneath the desk. A trap door opened up, revealing a long flight of stairs. Going down the flight of stairs, Sin is welcomed to a room with various glass cabinets filled with poisons. Liquid, pill, traps, and various others. Sin saw the price tags, with various descriptions tagged beside. 9 Ringed Snakes Poison: Can kill any practitioner under level 50. 8/8 doses, best applied to short blades. 350 gold coins for a set of 4 bottles. Leviathans Salistice: Instant death to all who have less than 70 points of physique. 750 gold coins for 2 bottles. Best used in food, and drink. Seeing various other types, Sin picked out the 9 Ringed Snakes Poison, Leviathans Salistice, and various other traps. Coming to a grand total of 3,500 gold coins, plus the 1,150 from his various orders making it 4,650 gold coins. Sin left the alchemist shop, and went out on the town. Eating various foods from the street stalls, tasting various alcohols and unique drinks. 5 hours passed and Sin returned back to Icarus'' shop. Seeing the mans excited expression, Sin was given high hope for good news. "Here is everything that you have requested, while working on these prints, I managed to breakthrough to a master blacksmith. These are on the house as my thanks." Sin smiled widely. "Congratulations Master Icarus, may you further progress in your craft. I look forward to the day you rock Desolate Kingdom to the very core." Sin took his light black robe, gauntlets, knife belt, dagger, rope, throwing knives and various other tools. Just as Sin was about to leave Icarus'' shop, Icarus called out catching his attention. "I don''t know what you need all this equipment for, nor is it my business to know. But I''d like to wish you the best in your endeavor nonetheless." Sin smiled without saying anything else leaving Icarus'' shop. Returning back to the Vermilion Bird Clan, Sin went back to his room. Sitting cross legged, Sin made his mind completely blank. No thoughts, no distractions, no emotions. The moon hung high in the night sky. Sin was dressed in all black from head to toe. His black robe covered his body, Sins combat boots hid daggers within. Sin wore his knife belt with 50 throwing knives, on his waist 2 scabbard formed a x shape, containing two very sharp 4 inch thick swords. On his back was his Soul Weapon in Great Sword form. Sin wore a black cloth hiding his eyes, his gauntlets had steel knuckled tips, and a lever when pushed down three sharp 8 inch claws would extend out. Sin had a sash of various poisons wrapped around his chest and shoulder. Sin stealthily snuck out of the Vermilion Bird Clan, not alerting a single soul. Just as he was about to leap onto a tree, a tear in the dimension formed grabbing Sins shoulder. Sin was like a cat with its tail stepped on. A dagger was drawn on the unknown persons neck, and a whip had wrapped around like hardcore bdsm. Sin pulled on it leaving, a mature figure reflected by the moonlight. A seductive voice teased Sin. "Oh my young Wolf King, I didn''t know you were the dom. I think I just got wet after such a rich experience." Sin nearly choked hearing this voice. Cold sweat dampened his back, and a deadly fear took over him. Instantly sheathing his dagger, and undoing the bindings on Ariyas body. Sin wasn''t willing to make eye contact. "Care to explain where you''re going armed to the teeth at this time of night?" "Collecting the debts of someone who dared to make one of my elders turncoat." "Azure Dragon Clan?" Ariya answered without hesitation. "They have become a pain in the ass, and while I have no proof to provide the emperor with. I am able to peer into the future, they''re a vessel for the demons. And the access point of a foreign force." Sin confirmed, not willing to give up a valuable ally. "Indeed, a being named the Rage God. I killed his disciple before making it here. He used Rage Possession, and I was able to injure a portion of his soul." Ariyas frown tightened. "The original gods were banished from this world. Without any ''door stoppers'' it was only a matter of time before more came. They were supposed to be here in 30 years time. However, your very being has sped things up. Falling into the hands of a twisted game." "We can discuss more later, this is the prime time for the next 3 hours to operate in the dark." Sin answered before leaping away. Pushing a button on his belt, a sharp hooked 100 meter iron line shot out. Hooking onto a building, Sin pushed another button and it contracted. Sending Sin dozens of meters forward, and at faster speeds. In a matter of 15 minutes, Sin crossed over 750 kilometers reaching the Azure Dragon Clans territory within the capital city. Sin grabbed two ropes from his waist, tying two D2 steel daggers to each rope. Sin expanded his Mana, making a mental map in his mind. 250 red dots were in specific orders, constantly moving. Judging the distance of the perimeter and their speeds. Sin had 4 minutes to wipe out the remaining 249 from his first blood. If not the closest group wouldn''t meet their fellow squad, leading to alert enemies alerting their forces. Sin took multiple deep breaths, Midnight Reaper eagerly hovered behind Sin. "Are you getting cold feet brother? It has been far too long, since we last had such a intense challenge." Sin answered back. "Not at all, I am just trying to control my blood lust. Ever since recovering to 100% This is going to be my first real excursion. It had been a couple months being severely weakened."Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Sin had achieved his most dangerous state. Sin passed over 600 meters with [Void Steps] claiming his first kill. Licking the blood that splattered on his face, Sins eyes trembled and then the true terror finally snapped it''s own chains. Sin went on a rampage, his Mana controlled 15 throwing knives. Slitting the throats of one patrol squad before finding another one. Sin with his rope lashing out continuously, claimed life after life. Sin purposely took his time, allowing the last squad to see the dismembered bodies of their allies. Before any horns could be blown, 11 flying knives killed the members, leaving the captain alive. Sin appeared in front of the captain speaking out. "It''s a beautiful night for blood to wash over the Azure Dragon Clan isn''t it?" Sin stabbed a short sword into the captain''s stomach, Sin appeared behind him with a face full of blood, and flesh hanging from his teeth. Spitting it out, Sin said disappointed. "Your blood tastes like shit." The captain held onto his throat, or so he thought he did until his hand passed through it. Realization struck as he tried screaming out, but all he could do was stare in fear before dropping dead like a zapped fly. Sin moved forward into the Azure Dragon Clans courtyard. Leaping off a building Sin plunged downwards with 2 short swords aimed downwards. Piercing through the heads of 2 guards, Sin dashed forward grabbing two drunks heads and smashing them together bursting like fruit gushers. Sin threw out 20 throwing knives into separate directions. Sins Mana covered the dead bodies, no sound was made as they hit the ground. Sin slowly opened the door 6 inches, sucking in his stomach. Sin was like a snake, slithering through the gap. As he did so he smiled saying "boo mother fuckers." scaring the shit out of two guards before slitting their throats Sin spent the next 10 minutes, killing every person in sight. Before going up stairs, Sin floated up to the roof using his Mana like suction cups. He heard two voices talking. "Have you heard that Glaze and his crew were defeated by a single man? Glaze looked so pathetic, how could he have such a sexy women by his side. I just want to tear her clothes off and fuck her making her scream my name!" "I feel you there, but there is more good news than just that. The Dragon King is beyond pissed off right now. You should be careful of what you say though, the young patriarch has his eyes on Seraphim." Sin had enough of listening to this, he floated downwards castrating the man stating he wanted to rape Seraphim. Grabbing his dick and balls, Sin opened the mans mouth wide shoving his genitalia down his throat. Sin grabbed the other man by both shoulders, ruthlessly tearing the man apart. All his internal organs and intestines spilled out. The poor sucker didn''t even have the honour of screaming in pain. Both men died in horrible ways. Sin made his decision, he was going to castrate the young patriarch. Cutting off the Dragon King bloodline. Sins killing intent soared several notches. Any plots against his team members, and brother by blood oath was taboo. Despite being on the wrong side, they were people Sin risked his life for many times. And they risked their life to save Sin on many occasions. Sin continued his killing spree, shortly after he found the food storage of the Azure Dragon Clan. He applied various poisons to the stored food, grains, alcohol, fresh crops and so forth. Sin grabbed a maid servant, covering her mouth and whispering into her ears. "Not a single sound, nod your head yes, shake your head no." "Is the young patriarchs room in this building?" The maid shook her head. Sin took out a map, and asked the maid to point towards a building. The maid had no choice but to comply in this situation. Circling another building of her own accord, she air drew the words. "Trump Card Unit." Sin looked her in the eyes. "Trap?" The maid shook her head vigorously, writing again in the air. "They''ve abused me sexually, I wish nothing more for their blood to soak the earth." Sin nodded his head, placing his hand on her forehead. Sin erased everything in the last minute, prior to what her goal was before their meeting. Sin left the building, making his way towards the young patriarchs living quarters. Sin killed every single assassin and guard along the way. Sin jumped up onto the roof noiselessly. He put his ear on the shingles, focusing his hearing on any inside noise. Sin heard something that made him nearly lose his self control. A muffled voice was giving statistics to the young patriarch. "According to your orders, we have sacrificed over 45,000 female virgins, 8,500 babies and 375,000 humans in total to the Demon Lords altar." Sins eyes became emotionless like fish eyes, he used [Void Steps] entering the room. Sin isolated the room with his Mana. Effortlessly killing everyone inside besides the young patriarch. Sin walked towards the young patriarch, his short sword scraping across the floor emitting sparks. "How dare you kill my men you fucking pussy! I will chop your head off, and use your face to wipe my ass every time I shit!" The young patriarch yelled and charged towards Sin. This however, was the worst decision he had made in his life. Sin kicked the young patriarch in the face, overextending his leg he flexed his calf. A lever was pushed down, and a dagger appeared on the tip of his combat boots. Sin wrapped his leg around the young patriarchs head like a snake. Slitting the mans eyes, just as he was about to scream out. Sin grabbed him by the neck. Holding the man up in front of him with his left arm. Sin pulled out a rusty knife with his right hand. Sin stabbed the rusty dagger into the young patriarchs crotch, right above his dragon. He started convulsing as fear took over his very being. "Please spare me, I will give you anything you want." The young patriarch pleaded pathetically. "Hush little one, there''s no need to ruin your status as the young patriarch and beg for your life. You should feel proud, it''s either you dying tonight or hundreds and thousands of more innocent lives." "I guess I should tell you why this disaster is falling on-top of you. There was a elder in my clan named Chrom, he turn-coated the Wolf God Clan. However, he had the help of you and one of your coma ridden elders. If I hadn''t found out, there was a big ass bomb that would have sent my Wolf God Clan to kingdom come. Now it''s time you pay the price." Sin said menacingly with all his strength, Sin cut the knife downwards tearing the young patriarchs crotch open, and his dragon fell into a pool of blood. This wasn''t the end yet. Sin sawed his balls off, and took a ladle out of his ring of holding. "This will be quick and painful, brace yourself." Sin plunged the ladle into the right eye socket, popping out the gooey mess that was once a eye. A scream was making it''s way out, Sin clenched his hand around the young patriarchs neck harder. Nearly snapping his wind pipe, no screams or yells made it out. Repeating the process with the left eye, Sin grabbed the balls and put them in each eye socket. Sin stuffed a bunch of cotton into the young patriarchs mouth. "Bite down when you feel the pain." The young patriarch didn''t have time to question or think. His right arm was cleaved off, and a shower of blood followed. The young patriarch whipped and thrashed around. To Sin this was just a cruel game to vent his blood lust. Giving the young patriarch time to settle down, Sin cleaved off the left arm. Before he bleeds out to death, Sin pushed numerous pressure points on his neck, chest, thighs, legs. Sin sawed off each toe with the rusty dagger one by one. Then he stabbed his knife into the young patriarchs leg, ripping it upwards tearing through muscle and tendons. Sin made quick work on his left leg, grabbing his right arm that was on the ground. Sin imbued it with Mana, raising the young patriarch up. Sin impaled the young patriarch with his own arm to the wall. After ''dusting'' the blood on his hands off, Sin said in a murderous voice. "If you were more of a man, you could''ve saved more lives tonight." Sin left the young patriarchs room, walking through the hall. Sin opened up every door he saw, looking for treasure and more people to kill. After being patient it paid off off 20 minutes later. Sin opened up a door, and found a room that was 6 kilometers in size. Hidden inside were hundreds and thousands of armour, swords, spears, sabers, and so forth. Sin had bought a dimension bag for 8,000 gold coins earlier in the day. Sin absorbed everything into his dimension bag, and began looking through more rooms. Sin found a room full of training manuals, scrolls of information unknown to the public. And many other interesting tid bits he would read through at a later time. Sin plundered everything, paintings, canvases, medicinal pills, and much more he didn''t even know what he was plundering. Sin planted 6 bombs on each floor of the building, and then made his way towards where the trump card unit was resting up inside. Sin took stock of all his equipment. Taking into consideration how much time passed, Sin gave himself 30 minutes before his risk of exposure would increase many folds. Since Sin wiped out all the earlier patrols, none were out roaming. Sin made his way over without anything to halt his progress. After arriving Sin placed poisonous steel wires that can cut through concrete like paper. If enemies charged out from the buildings, well it would suffice to say things would get chunky. Sin jumped onto wooden posts, making his way to the roof. Sin focused his Mana, and created a internal map of the floor underneath him. All were in deep sleep, but many had their hands held upon their weapons. Ready to be drawn at any given second. Sin licked his lips at another killing spree. Sin used his Mana, cutting a circle in the roof big enough for him to fall through. Sins 2 short swords were drawn, aiming downwards towards the necks of 2 unfortunate men. Sin dropped down piercing through their necks. The 7 remaining flying knives flew about, claiming life after life. Sin looted all the corpses, while placing bombs all around the floor he was on. Sin poisoned the food and drinks in the storage, plundered hundreds of thousands of gold coins, equipment, blacksmith manuals, forging techniques and so on. Sin wiped out the entire brigade within 12 minutes, Sin jumped through a window running to the farmers fields. Sin began rotating his [Phoenix Queen] Sacred Flame, setting flame to the crops. Sin made a loud battle call imbuing his voice with Mana. "Enemy attack, the trump card unit has been wiped out!" Sin flashed away 100 kilometers in a minute. Arriving at a forest, Sin jumped up to the top of the tallest tree. Pulling out a pair of binoculars, Sin eagerly watched the havoc he created unwind. He was mainly watching the young patriarchs building, he saw a group of 4,000 armed warriors rush in, followed by a middle aged man. When all of them reached the young patriarchs room, Sin heard the fury in the middle aged mans voice. "Useless mother fuckers! Who dares call themselves elites when someone did this to my son! I will kill all their families to vent my wrath!" Sin smiled before pulling out a stick with an appealing red button. Sin pushed it down, and multiple buildings were engulfed by flames. Killing thousands of people without remorse. Sadly, the Dragon King managed to survive despite being severely wounded. The Dragon King roared to the sky, startling the entire capital city. "Whichever power that dared do this to my clan. You better not let me find out, if I do I will wipe your forces off the face of Desolate Kingdom!" All of Sins goals had been achieved, sadly the Dragon King wasn''t the cherry on top. But it was still successful nonetheless. Sin made his way back to the Vermilion Bird Clan, undetected by the Azure Dragon Clans people, and the royal families forces which were too lazy to put in much effort. As Sin returned, he had noticed Reiya and Ariya had an assortment of snacks and drinks out. Both the women clapped their hands in excitement. "Excellent show Wolf King." "Husband why don''t I relieve the tension you must''ve built up during the raid?" Reiya bit her lower lip enticingly. Sin shook his head before saying. "I''m going to wash up, no assistance is needed." Sin made direct eye contact with Reiya as he said this. Reiya pouted before saying underneath her breath. "Not like I wanted to help you unwind anyways!" Volume 2 Chapter 11 You Put The Dick In Detective The next day, the imperial family of the capital city gathered together. The king of this continent in Desolate Kingdom was wearing a bright smile. His status was supreme, and he had long known the Azure Dragon Clan was a turncoat. While he couldn''t provide the necessary proof to wipe them out, Sin had made a meritorious service. The Azure Dragon Clan lost their trump card legion, 9,000 professed fighters died. They lost over 75 million gold coins in wealth between equipment, manuals, blacksmith prints, pills, paintings, canvases and so on. The Dragon King walked into the hall, his eyes were bloodshot. A purple baleful aura was wrapped around the Dragon King. Seeing the relaxed and pleased look on the Kings face, his fury snapped. "Why the fuck do you so look pleased! Are you not taking into consideration the merit my clan holds here!?" The King raised his hand. "I am taking that into consideration, that''s why I sent out over 20 experts. But I would also like to ask you, are you not taking into consideration your fury may hide other things?" The King looked questioningly into the Dragon Kings eyes, sending shivers down his spine. "I am furious because I lost my son, 9,000 professed warriors, 75 million plus gold coins. Our food and drink storages have been contaminated with poison, over 750,000 innocent people are on their death beds. And you dare ask whether my fury is hiding something else? Who the fuck do YOU think you are!?" The Kings eyes became sharp. "You had best change your attitude you little fucking serpent. Do you believe that I will not put you over my lap and spank your ass black and blue!?" The King raised from his throne, appearing in front of the Dragon King. Grabbing the Dragon Kings head, the King smashed it down into the marbled floor. The entire palace trembled, and the earth outside had spider web cracks spread out 20 kilometers. "Don''t you ever fucking challenge me you again you little bitch ass serpent!" The King rose dusting his hands before spitting on the Dragon King. "Now get the fuck out of my palace before I give you something to bitch about!" The Kings voice boomed like thunder, every single being in the capital city heard their kings thunderous bellow. The King disparagingly kicked the Dragon King in the face, launching him flying out of his palace. The Dragon King was like a cannon ball, he flew through many buildings along the way collapsing them. Finally he crashed through his clans gates, flying through the main hall leaving a deep indentation on a reinforced Iron door. The Dragon King spit out blood, all of his bones made sharp snapping noises. Weakly sliding down the reinforced door, blood was forming in a pool underneath the Dragon King. The Kings voice was once again heard throughout the capital city. "All whose properties were damaged may come to me for their collateral, I will send out engineers and mechanics to fix the mess the Dragon King created. The Azure Dragon Clan is exempt from receiving this collateral." --------------------------------- [You have been awarded 1,250,000 Merit points for annihilating the plan created by the demons.

The decision is yours.] Sin the creator of all this chaos was peacefully cultivating, none of the Kings ruckus had managed to disturb him. After 13 hours of non stop cultivation, only a third of the Phoenix, Wolf and Vermilion scales had formed. Sin wasn''t disappointed, but he was getting a headache on how to further progress. He could pop pills, turning them into pure energy to form more scales. However, there is a fine line between progression, and crippling your foundation. Sin washed up before getting into a new change of clothes, he was going to make his way to Icarus'' shop. He earned a bounty of black smith techniques, manuals, blue prints, and equipment last night from his plundering. Considering Icarus was the personal blacksmith of the Vermilion Bird Clan, Sin wouldn''t be stingy with the payment. Half the reason being without the equipment Icarus forged for him last night, without asking any questions. Sin had a favorable opinion of Icarus, and his success was hugely placed on the quality of the equipment. After arriving at Icarus'' shop, Sin noticed 20 hidden forces. Without showing any reaction on his face, Sin walked up to the counter and rang a bell. Icarus came out bare chested oozing sweat, as he was squirting a bottle of water into his mouth. "Good day mister how may I help you?" Sin made direct eye contact, and motioned them to the side before drawing the number 20 on the desk with a question mark. Icarus simply raised his eye brows in question, just as he was about to look over where Sins eyes pointed. Sin raised his finger and smashed it down over top the glass, pointing at a dagger. "I would like to buy this dagger. When I was out last with my mercenary team, my main dagger got snapped in half by a Mountain Troll." Icarus nodded his head, pulling out the dagger from inside the glass counter. Sin was drawing words on the glass. "Do not make any sudden movements idiot!" Sin payed the 150 gold coins, while also secretly flipping a storage ring full to the brim with exquisite materials, hundreds of thousands of gold coins, blacksmith manuals, blue prints, anvils, hammers and so forth. When Sin was making his leave, a man dressed in full black reached his hand out grabbing Sin by the shoulder. "We would like you to come by the office with us for a while." The mans voice was demanding, Sin didn''t give two shits. But nonetheless he complied. "Lead the way." Sin raised his hands out in front of him. "Let me save you some time." The man cuffed Sin and they made their way back their ''office.'' ------------------------------------ Sin was sitting in a interrogation room, there was 1 bright light shining directly at him. Across from him was a notable man, he had a head full of white hair, a black beard, meticulous brown eyes, and was puffing a cigar that had to be full of the Marry Jane.Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. To his right side was the Dragon King, who after receiving the Kings fury and beating. Was wrapped head to toe like a mummy, but there was enough room left open for his eyes and mouth. Sin was staring at both men with a smile on his face. "Good weather today isn''t it?" Sin tried to break the silence. The detective looked at Sin with piercing eyes. "We have witnesses saying you bought various poisons, traps and deadly equipment yesterday. Care to give us some information on what it was bought for?" Sin had unwavering eyes. "I was restocking supplies for my comrades in arms, while all of them were too worried about dipping their sticks. I was too busy worrying about being well prepared for our next bounty hunt." The detective didn''t see any awkwardness in Sins eyes, and the Dragon King beside was emitting a baleful energy. "Your old man Sirius''s successor aren''t you!?" Sin decided he would ''take notice'' of the Dragon King, which further infuriated the already boiling man. "Now it''s all coming back to me, Sirius told me one of his good friends snakey snake had a rueful temperament. He wasn''t wrong, just looking at you makes me want to turn you into dragon fin soup." Sin replied back stunning both men. "Last night my clan was raided by a group of well trained assassins. My son was killed, we lost over 75 million gold coins worth of wealth. Our food and water storages are contaminated, crop fields burned, over 1,000,000 are now laying on their death beds! You wouldn''t happen to know anything about that would you wise guy?" Sin shrugged his shoulders. "I couldn''t tell you anything about it, this is news to my ears." The Dragon King slammed his hand down. "Bullshit!" Sins eyes turned deadly, and a chilling killing intent erupted out of his body. All the men on guard outside of the reinforced walls shivered, some fell to the ground holding their necks, as if it had just been slit by a dagger. "Take that tone with me one more mother fucking time you little bitch ass serpent!" Sins bellow shook the entire room, deafening everyone within 450 meters of the interrogation room. The detective pulled out his sword, placing it on Sins neck. "Easy now, I don''t want any accidents to happen here." Sin pulled his neck back, biting the sword in half. Chewing the metal before swallowing it in front of the detective. "Your right, I don''t want any unfortunate accidents to happen to you detective." Sin spat back. The detective became fearful of Sin. "I would like to look inside of your ring of holding." The detective said. Sin was all smiles with a hint of embarrassment. "Go ahead and look all you want, I''m not sure you will like what you find though." Sin slid his ring of holding over to the detective. "Don''t let snakey snake touch it though. I don''t want my belongings to becomes dirty." Sin said smiling widely. The detective looked in, and he had a shocked expression. He started mourning to himself. Chicks with dicks, guys with tits, reverse cowgirl, all dogs go to heaven, Pinocchio and the lying boner, stuffing hot fresh muffins, midnight park parade and so forth. The detective looked up with at Sin with a beet red face. "Told you, you may not like what you find." Sin shrugged smiling widely. Pulling out a pad and paper, the detective started Questioning Sin. "Name?" "Sin" "Age?" "23" "Fears?" "Hearing Kiryu-Chan!! from below or above me." "Occupation?" "Yakuza" The detective looked up, before asking his next question. "What do you do for a living?" "I run a orphanage in Okinawa." "What are your hobbies?" A huge stage had come out of nowhere, Sin stood in the middle with closed eyes getting into the right mind set. Sin pulled out a karaoke microphone, his Mana formed a disco ball in mid air flashing various lights. Sins face got all emotional before he started singing. "Dame da ne. Dame yo dame na no yo. Anta ga suki de sukisugite. Dore dake tsuyoi osake demo. Yugamanai omoide ga baka mitai!" (1) ?????? [I swear if no one gets this reference after such a perfect setup.] The Dragon King punched the Mana disco ball, and stage into various lights. Slamming his hands on the table once again, the Dragon King bellowed "WOULD YOU STOP FUCKING AROUND!?" Sin stood up throwing his chair, just barely missing the Dragon Kings head. "Interrupt my story again Reggie. See what happens!" [Hellsing Abridged] The detective took a long time to settle things down. Then he began asking more questions. "What is your connection to the Vermilion Bird Clan?" Sin answered without missing a beat. "Allies of the Wolf God Clan." "How long have you been staying there?" "For 11 days" The Dragon Kings face twitched, 11 days ago was when Glaze and his group were severely defeated. Putting two and two together, the Dragon King shouted. "He''s the one who raided my clan last night! He is the only one who has the ability to wipe out my forces!" Sins face was as calm as can be. "And what proof do you have? Do you have any of my blood, prints, did you personally see me last night? Do you dare to swear an oath on your life, that you are not spouting a mouth full of bullshit!?" The Dragon King was stumped, he didn''t dare make any oaths. But this didn''t stop steam from billowing out of his ears. "That''s what I thought you bitch ass serpent!" Sin further added salt to the wound, with a great big no fucks given smile on his face. He felt like a true bad ass from those cultivation novels, no face shall be given! [Oh, wait a moment.] Seeing as this was going nowhere, with the lack of proof, and frayed nerves the detective sent Sin away. Just as Sin was about to leave, he looked back at the Dragon King. "You put the dick in detective!" Then he looked over to the detective himself. "You should consider a job change sir, snakey snake here does the job better than you do. Sadly, his tactics don''t work on a innocent person." Sin walked out and looked at all the men that had fear in their eyes. "Sorry about my little outburst earlier, snakey snake in there really knows how to piss someone off!" Sin laughed loudly leaving the ''office'' with his chest pumped up. All the men had started laughing thunderously hearing Sins comment. Some of the smarter ones, however, knew they were best not rocking that boat right now. Sin made his way back to the Vermilion Bird Clan, when he arrived back Reiya and Ariya were waiting anxiously at the front gates. Only they knew the truth, they feared Sin would crack like a egg under pressure. When Sin came into sight, Reiya was the first to run out to Sin. Seeing this unfold Sin put up a barrier of Mana around him. "Easy now girl, there''s no need for concern." Ariya seeing this wasn''t pleased, but as she once said before. It is up to the younger generation to sort things out. Nonetheless she also strode forward. "You look rather comfortable for someone who just went through interrogations." Sin laughed wildly "They call that interrogation? I nearly fell asleep. If it wasn''t for snakey snake i''d be dead asleep in there. The chairs were rather comfortable, and they had a nice big desk I could rest my head on. It felt pretty damn luxurious compared to what I have been in many times." Ariya was finally put to ease, this man in front of her was becoming more mysterious. Nothing seemed to challenge him, he had self respect without arrogance like most do. Sin asked a question that had been weighing on his mind. "Matriarch Ariya are there any forbidden zones near the capital city? I need something to push me beyond my limits." Ariya was thoughtful considering the time remaining until foreign forced invaded. "The king will be opening up the Grand Warrior Trials in 4 days from now. All of the accepted ''King'' or ''Queen'' of each clan is welcome to partake." Sin had excitement flash in his eyes, he now had a prime chance to kill the Dragon King within the trials. So far he only clipped the wings, he had yet to rip the heart out of the Dragon. Seeing the excitement in Sins eyes, Ariya couldn''t help but smile saying. "Truly it seems like wherever you go, chaos is going to follow suit." "Reiya go to the ancestral hall and get my battle armour and weapon. It has been 80 years too long since I enjoyed a good bloodbath!" Sin smiled giving his hand out in front of himself. "Are you ready to create some big chaos with little ol me?" Ariya clasped hands with Sin. "Let''s make it big enough to rock the foundations of our continent!" Ariyas heart fluttered with excitement for the first time in 80 years. Who would know what kind of devastation she would finally unleash? It has been far too long, since the once known Killing Blade of the capital city has stayed tame Volume 2 Chapter 12 Alannah Later that night Sin entered his heart world, during the earlier interrogation, Sin transferred everything over into his heart world. All he had left inside was a bunch of porno mags, tissues, change of clothes and various other items. Of course that all played in part of the plan. Sin started organizing everything neatly, soon many mountains formed. Training manuals, refinement methods, alchemy skills, blacksmithing skills, art, gold/silver/copper coins, equipment, combat techniques and so forth. Eventually Sins interest fell onto a egg, it had a rather staggering amount of Mana and pressure being emitted off It. The more Sin looked at it, the more he felt like it was calling out to him. A log appeared in his view. "Rebirthing Chaos Egg, conditions to hatch: Drop your blood essence onto the Rebirthing Chaos Egg." Sin hesitated for a moment, but he remember this egg was protected by a hearty formation. It had taken some effort for him to break through. Sin delayed no longer, he spat out a mouthful of essence blood. "If you are going to fuck yourself for something good, might as well go deep" Sin thought to himself. When Sins blood essence landed on the egg, he saw phantom like wolves, vermilion birds, and phoenix''s surround the egg. After that, he felt the very being of his Sword Essence being copied and transferred to the egg. Sin felt a deep hunger from the egg. Deciding he may as well not be stingy, it was ''borrowed'' to begin with. Sin gave the egg plenty of rare pills, then he began channeling his [Phoenix Queen and Midnight Glory] Sacred Flames into the egg. The egg hungrily absorbed the Sacred Flames, and pills like a black hole. Sin then gathered the essence of the Earth, Sky, Water, Fire, Spirit, Heart paths of [Blood Dragon Sword Methods.] The egg began vibrating and a distinct buzzing sound could be heard. Cracks began forming on the egg. The Chaos energy in the ancient mansion burst out, being hungrily devoured by the egg. The cracks widened and became numerous. After 45 minutes of hungrily absorbing the Chaos energy. The egg let out a extremely bright light, Sin covered his eyes with his hands. When the light vanished, Sin looked at the egg split in two parts. Then he heard the voice of a sweet young child. "Papa!" Sin looked down, what he saw shocked the living daylights out of him. There was a 5 year old girl, with two wings sprouting out from her back. One was completely black, while the other was a mixture of red-gold. Her eyes were bright like stars in the sky, what more the child looked like a exact replica of Merala. Sin knelt down further examining the girl. "Did you just come out of that egg?" Sin pointed towards it. The girl looked incredibly sad with tears forming in her eyes. "Papa please don''t put me back in that egg. I will be a good girl." Sin smiled affectionately ruffling the child''s long red hair. "Don''t worry, papa won''t put you back in the egg." The childs stomach rumbled like a nuclear bomb going off. "Papa I''m hungry!!!" Sin thought it was himself ripping one from kneeling. But thank god that wasn''t the case, because it was taco tuesday. Sin exited his heart world with the child held in his arms. "What would you like to eat sweety?" "I want meat! lots and lots and lots of meat!" The child yelled enthusiasm. Sin tried quieting her, but It was too late. Reiya walked out of her room yawning. "Why do I hear a childs voice?" Shen then saw Sin with a child in his arms. Reiyas eyes released murderous beams. "Since when did you have a child?" Sin flashed away. "Hungry daughter can''t explain right now!" Sin sat her on a chair, but he felt wrong leaving her untended. So he took out multiple toys from his heart world, and various others to keep the child busy while he cooked. Sin smiled "You be good now my girl. Papa is going to make you yummy food." Seeing Sin walk away, the child''s eyes formed tears before wailing so loud it woke the entire Vermilion Bird Clan up. "Papa don''t leave me here alone!" Sword Qi formed so overbearingly that it nearly made Sin drop to the ground. He looked over at the child in shock. "Okay papa won''t leave you alone. Papa didn''t know you didn''t like being left alone." Sin picked the child up. The child smiled so bright without any worldly impurities. "Papa I want you to give me a name!" Sin said many names he could think of. Sarah, Sky, Alice, Sable, Meril, Yasmine and many others. The child was unhappy with every name, Sin was starting to sweat. "Damn I''m shit at naming things let alone a child!" Finally the golden name came to his mind. "Alannah!" Sin exclaimed. The child had a long and deep looking face. She smiled after 5 minutes. "Papa I like Alannah, the other names sucked!" Sin felt betrayed, but Alannah was happy with her name and so was he. Ariya walked into the kitchen, seeing the cute winged girl sitting on Sins shoulders. Ariyas eyes lit up seeing such a cute girl.Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere. "Come see auntie Ari little one!" Alannah looked at Ariya for a moment, then she turned her head sassily harrumphing. "No!" Alannah declared. "But auntie Ari has candy!" "No! I only want my papa." Alannah said while clinging onto Sins neck tightly. Ariya made her way over without listening, she reached her hands out grabbing Alannah. That was when shit hit the fan. Alannahs body lit up in a magnificent flame, while a blade made from black-golden flames came out of a tear in the void. Alannah swung it down, nearly incinerating the entire Vermilion Bird Clan. Thankfully Ariya was of the Divine Mastery rank in formations, thus the clan had self healing formations. "No one is allowed to touch me except for my papa!" Ariya backed up frightened, this cute little loli just turned into a flame demoness. Alannah jumped down, before running to hide in between Sin and the oven. She stuck her head out, sticking her tongue out at Ariya before letting out a satisfied smile. Alannah then cutely raised her arms up saying. "Papa I want uppy up!" Sin bent down picking Alannah up. With Alannah in one arm, Sin was using his other arm to cook and chop vegetables. Alannah drooled staring at all the food being prepared. Sins left shoulder soon became soaked. "Papa I''m hungry" Alannah had the cutest pair of puppy dog eyes. Sin smiled "Patience Alannah good food takes time to cook." Alannah pouted hearing her papa''s answer. Ariya watched all of this unfold, a million thoughts and ways how to kill Sin swarmed her mind. How dare such an adorable loli be Sins daughter. And how dare that loli not love auntie Ari! After Sin was done cooking, he brought Alannah and the plate of food to the table. Alannah had a voracious appetite that put Merala and Samara to shame. Thankfully his habit of cooking way more then needed saved him this time. "Another goddamn glutton." Sin thought to himself while sighing. Fuck cultivation, all his time will soon be spent cooking to feed 3 gluttons. Sin slightly despaired his future. Alannah was starting to doze off at the table, Sin decided he would bathe her before going to bed. Sin brought the tired Alannah upstairs into the bathroom, after running the water in the tub making it a perfect temperature. Sin turned around as he asked Alannah to undress and get into the tub. Alannah did as she told then she jumped into the tub of water. Sin was curious of what Alannahs stats were. When he used his analyze skill, he cried tears of shame. Name: Alannah Age: 5 Level: 10 Health: 65,000 Mana: 32,500 Strength: 235 Intelligence: 235 Agility: 285 Dexterity: 285 Luck: 155 Physique: 175 Comprehension: 165 Skills: Blood Dragon Sword Methods: Mastery of the 6 paths, half-step into the Conquerors realm Sword Heart: [Saint Grade] Divine Dragons Tyrant Wolf King Flame Body Refinement Method: [God Tier, Phoenix, Vermilion Bird, Wolf, Dragon Scale Diagrams active.] Nine Life Steps [Grand Master] Void Steps [Grand Master] Tartarus Impalement [Saint Mastery] Midnight Glory Sacred Flame [Tier 6] Phoenix Queen Sacred Flame [Tier 6] The list continues "Holy mother fucker!" Sin said overly loud drawing Alannahs attention. Her 5 year old curiosity couldn''t stop her from asking the obvious. "Papa what''s a holy mother fucker?" Sin coughed. "That''s a bad word that adults use, never repeat it again Alannah." Alannah had a look of confusion. "So does that mean dad is a bad guy?" Sin scratched the back of his head. "It''s hard to define someone as good and bad. It all comes down to their intentions, and how it affects those around them." "Your confusing papa, your a superhero!" Sin felt a mix of pride and warmth spread through his heart. "I will only be Alannahs superhero." Alannah smiled hearing Sins words, but then she had a look of sadness on her face. "Papa wheres mom?" Sin answered carefully. "Mom is in a place becoming stronger so she can protect her little girl." Alannah used her Mana creating a perfect image of Merala from when Sin last saw her. "This is mom?" Sins eyes widened in shock. "Alannah how did you know that is mom without seeing her?" Alannah was confused, but her answer was blunt. "I saw an image of her when I came out of the egg earlier. Mom said something like make sure papa takes care of me, if not she is going to kick you in the balls." Sin burst out in laughter. "That''s exactly something your mom would say." Sin finished bathing Alannah, after dressing her in pajamas Sin carried Alannah into his room. Sin carefully rested Alannah onto his bed, tucking her into bed and giving her a kiss on her forehead, Sin lovingly said. "Sleep well my little angel, papa will make you a good breakfast in the morning." Alannah wrapped her little arms around Sins neck giving him a hug. "Good night papa I love you!" Alannah said affectionately. Alannah closed her eyes and soon went into dream land. Sin went into the middle of the room, sitting cross legged. Sin rotated his body refinement method, and to his surprise he felt it was at least 10x more active than normal. The night soon passed in 8 hours, Sin managed to form 1 1/2 scales of each diagram, except for the Dragon Diagram he had yet to open up. Sin was shocked at how fluid it felt, and his organs, blood, mana, and qi seemed to have become more rich. The ambient Mana in the air seemed like it was being drawn to him. When Sins focus came back, he saw Alannah flying in front of him staring into his eyes. Alannah wrapped her arms and wings around Sins neck. "Good morning papa I am hungry!" Alannahs stomach rumbled loudly, while a sad look appeared onto her face. "Okay come with me papa will make you a feast for breakfast." When Sin had his back turned to Alannah, she flew over and sat on top of his shoulders. Her curiosity had overwhelmed the hunger she was feeling, while Sin was walking they came across the training grounds. Alannahs eyes focused and zoomed into the disciples training in sword methods. She pouted seeing at their ''sloppy'' form which made Sin laugh out loud after hearing her complaints. Sin walked into the kitchen, learning his lesson from the previous night. He held Alannah in one arm as he began cooking breakfast. The aroma soon wafted out of the kitchen, Ariya and Reiya like magnets appeared shortly after. Reiya got a good look at Alannah before she burst out "Waaaah she''s so cute!" Alannah hearing the commotion had a sour look on her face. She hugged tightly into Sins embrace as she hid her head. Reiya however, had such an alluring voice, Alannah seemed charmed. "Don''t hide on me little sister. Why don''t I take you out to play while the bad man makes breakfast?" Ariyas brows furrowed after hearing Reiyas words, she gently warned Reiya after remembering last nights outburst. Reiya didn''t take it to heart, she came to Sins side and then reached her hands out to take Alannah out of Sins embrace. This was when Reiya knew, she fucked up. Alannah became a little ball of flaming fury, Ariya seeing this unfold hurriedly created a defensive formation in front of Reiya. Alannahs black-gold sword shot out, cutting through the formation like a hot knife through butter. Reiya was frightened and backed off immediately. The sword however, was much faster and appeared on her neck. Sin seeing all of this unfold finally said. "Sorry I forgot to mention, she doesn''t like leaving her papa''s side." Sin smiled mischievously, which happened to piss Reiya off to no ends. But she also didn''t dare act, the little loli was a demoness in disguise! After Sin finished cooking breakfast, he brought Alannah and multiple plates of food to the table. Reiya wanted to taste Sins cooking, but Alannahs arm shot out slapping her hand away. "Don''t touch my food!" Alannah glared angrily at Reiya After breakfast, Sin dressed Alannah up before going out to the local fair. Sin and Alannah went on many rides, tasted many delicacies and snacks. When night fell, fireworks were going off in the air. Alannah looked up with wide eyes. "Papa what are those?" Alannah pointed her finger in the sky. "Those are fireworks, they make loud noises but produce beautiful colours and images in the night sky." Sin explained Alannahs curiosity was settled, then she yawned before falling a sleep on top of Sins shoulders. After a long day of playing, and eating many snacks. Alannah had been exhausted, Sin brought her back to his residence and placed her into bed. Sin kissed Alannahs forehead good night before he went and started his cultivation. Volume 2 Chapter 13 Water Nymph Sin spent the remaining 4 days in peace and quiet, everyday he would take Alannah out to play, go to fairs, go out and hunt bounties and so forth. During this period of time, Sin had felt he was close to mastering the Earth path of [Blood Dragon Sword Methods.] When Sin came back to town, there was a man in a robe decorated with dragons, on his waist was a lifelike Sword glowing multiple lights. The man walked towards Sin asking politely. "Are you the new generation Wolf King by any chance?" Sins eyes narrowed just as he was about to reach for his Soul Weapon, Alannah jumped off of Sins shoulders admiring the persons sword. "Waaaah it''s so beautiful!" Sins focus was solely on the man, if he were to move a single millimeter regardless of being god, the devil, or buddha, his head would roll. The man seeing this tested Sin, before the man moved however, Sins blade was already drawn on his neck. Sin instantly put 40 points into both Agility and Dexterity, leaving 20 left in his stockpile. "Alannah come back to papa." The man raised his hands "Easy now tiger, I''m the king of these lands. You wouldn''t be willing to initiate a full out war would you?" Sin smiled meaningfully. "That depends on which side of the blade you tread upon." The man looked back, uttering a single word. "Humans." Sin sheathed his weapon. "Very well, let''s get this over with." The King noticed how fascinated Alannah was over his sword. He took it out of its sheathe and showed it to her. "Little girl would you like to keep this Sword?" Alannahs eyes widened she squealed with excitement. However, she turned to look back to her papa eagerly asking. "Papa can I take it, he offered it to me. It would be rude to turn the offer down right? What was it you like to say, accept kind gestures to pave the future roads?" Sin shook his head while smiling. "Yes you can have it sweety." Alannah jumped up and down clapping her hands together. "Papa is the best in the world!" Alannahs hand reached out so fast, the King didn''t even have time to react before the Sword and sheathe were already strapped on her waist. The King had a rather awkward look on his face. A 5 year old girl had just swiped the Sword and sheathe off his being, the scariest impact being that he didn''t even feel it. Nor did his ''domain'' alert him of Alannahs movements. [Swiper no swiping!] Sin seeing this was pleased. He knelt down and ruffled Alannahs hair affectionately. "You did well my girl." Alannahs eyes were bright and she smiled as wide as can be. The King coughed bringing Sins attention back. "Shall we go somewhere comfortable?" Sin replied "Sure." The King brought Sin and Alannah to a private tea house, when he entered he asked a waiter to take Alannah to the play area. The King then went up to to VIP room, Sin followed behind keeping his senses sharp. After entering the room a mystifying aroma that made ones mood and nerves ease started working. The King sat down comfortably. The King asked something that instantly put Sin on full alert. "Did you raid the Azure Dragon Clan?" Sin made eye contact with the King. "Would you prefer I be honest or lie?" The King smiled as he too also relaxed. "That''s a good enough answer. I want to thank you as King of these lands, the Dragon King has long since been the Demon''s bitch. I just never had the proof, or clear motive to wipe them out of existence. While I am King and my authority here is absolute, the civilians are not aware of these facts. And even if they were, why would they believe it? The Azure Dragon Clan has served my family for the last 5,000 years. They have long since planted their roots in everyone''s hearts as loyal to a fanatic level. If I were to simply uproot them without solid evidence, many would fear me and would take advantage of the chaos to overthrow my position. I have been safe guarding these lands for over 9,000 years, I have killed many pawns of the Demons. And I will be the first to admit, there are ears in the walls." Sin nodded thoughtfully. "That does make sense, the Azure Dragon Clan even affected my clan. One of my elders named Chrom was working for them. It''s a shame I had to kill him, Sirius and Chrom were life and death brothers." The king also nodded. "This is how life goes, you never know if the ones you feed, will one day kill you in your sleep." Sin asked a question. "Besides asking me about the raid, what other intentions do you have for seeking me out?" The King hesitated for a second, but still answered truthfully. "I would like to ask you to be the human representative of the Grand Warrior Trials. Truth be told, you would be sent out of Desolate Kingdom into another plane of existence all together. Us humans we are the lowest on the power spectrum in the universe. Even a 45th grade existence such as the Demons threaten to wipe us out, let alone the Dimensional beings, Chaos creatures, Ashuras, Deities and so on." "Why do you think I am capable enough to represent the other Kings and Queens?" Sin asked. The king looked into Sins eyes. "Because I can see your destiny is like the blinding rays of the sun." "And how can you believe one day I won''t become someone who kills any being I see?" The king thought long and hard before answering Sins question. "Because you and I are cut from the same cloth." "I will not make you any promises. I will only protect those I have the power to protect, I am not a hero blinded by justice." The King smiled "That''s good enough for me, take the time to rest up and get into a proper mindset. The trials open up in 5 hours, make whatever preparations you need to now." ------------------------------- Five hours passed, Sin left the Vermilion Bird Clan with Ariya and Alannah. When Sin and company were about to leave the Vermilion Bird Clan, Reiya ran out shouting from behind. "You better make it back alive Sin!" Sin kept walking forward throwing his hand into the air. After arriving at the Kings palace, Sin noticed many strong people. Many looked at Sin, some nodded, some looked eager to fight, and some looked like superior assholes. Sin spotted the Dragon King before calling out loudly. "Yo snakey snake! I didn''t think you''d be participating in the trials, you always struck me as a big pussy who gives commands from behind." The Dragon King turned back with a face full of fury. "We''ll see who the real pussy is!" The Dragon King turned away, going to sign up for the trial. Sin followed behind with Ariya, and Alannah on his shoulders. When Sin arrived, he heard the Dragon King asking to be put into the hell mode. Sin smiled before walking forward. "You can sign me up for the Asura mode." The Dragon Kings eyes widened before sarcastically asking Sin. "You do realize what you just signed yourself up for right?" Sin smiled with his middle finger raised. "Do you dare take the dive with me snakey snake?" The veins in the Dragon Kings body flared. "Sign me up for the fucking Asura mode!" After thirty minutes passed those that signed up for the various difficulties got into groups. Sin, Ariya, Alannah and the Dragon King were the only ones to take Asura mode. The King came out and took center stage. "All my brave warriors, it is my pleasure to open up the Grand Warrior Trials. I hope that everyone I see here comes back alive in 10 days. Your bravery and honour as humans is formidable, each life you take away proves that we''re not the pathetic beings the other races take us as. Every enemy you kill earns you points based off how strong they are. The more enemies you kill, the more rewards you will get from the universe itself." The King waved his hands and various portals lit up. Sin and Ariya were the first to enter leading the pack, the Dragon King followed suit. Upon entering the other side of the portal, a vast world entered Sins view. --------------------------------- AOUUUUU! the roars of the beasts were shattering, Sin had his Soul Weapon drawn. The bushes rustled and a dimensional beast came running through it. Sins analyze did it''s jobThis narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it. Dimensional Hog King Level: 25 Health: 92,000 Mana: 1,250 Strength: 125 Intelligence: 10 Agility: 100 Dexterity: 100 Sins eyes were full of fighting intent, Asura mode really was no simple walk in the park. Sin flew forward swiping his Sword at the hoofs of the hog king, sparks flew as only a white scar was left on the hoof without drawing any blood. Sin jumped over the hog king, evading the tusks primed to gut him. Sin landed on the hog kings back, stabbing his Soul Weapon down with all his strength, Sin managed to injure the hog king, but it was far from fatal or dealing any sort of real damage. Sins body erupted in the [Phoenix Queen] Sacred Flame. After his refinement method upgraded to God rank, [Phoenix Queen] became a tier 4 Sacred Flame. The Hog King screeched out in agony, Sins Soul Weapon pierced the iron defense as if a heated knife through butter. Running on top of the 6 meter long hog king, Sins weapon ripped open the back revealing the half cut through bones. Sin put all his body weight into his elbow and smashed it down on the hog kings skull. Sins fingers blazed with [Phoenix Queen] piercing through the hog kings eyes. Sin put his weapon back into its sheathe before quick drawing using [Illusionary Sword: Void Breaker.] The hog king was split in half, as the power of the void weighed down mashing it''s body into a bloody pancake. Sin received a log [You have slain the Dimensional Hog King. You have been awarded +10 points] After the Dimensional Hog King died, its soul flew out trying to escape. Sin reached out with his hand purifying the soul as [Phoenix Queen] erased the souls consciousness. Putting it into his Dimensional Bag, Sin was all smiles. "Hey the beasts here give a decent amount of points. Let''s clear out the surrounding are and create a camp for the night." Sin, Alannah and Reiya made quick work clearing out the surrounding 10 kilometers. No Dimensional beasts survived the onslaught. The Dragon King took this time to leave the party. "We''ll meet up back at this area in 10 days time. I wish you both the best of luck." Before the Dragon King disappeared, Sin imbued his Mana into a microscopic tracker noiselessly landing on the Dragon Kings combat boots. Seeing as there was no reaction, Sin smiled to himself. "No need to wait 10 days, I will kill you very soon!" Later that night, Sin was warming up some premade food he cooked before. Alannah was looking at it with a look of utter disgust. "Papa why can''t we have your yummy food?" Alannah said with longing eyes. "Because we may attract many powerful Dimensional beasts, or higher race members who feed on humans." Alannah wasn''t happy with that answer. "So why dont we just kill everything that comes?" "Sweety if you be a good girl tonight, papa will make a yummy breakfast tomorrow how Is that?" Alannahs eyes lit up like a sea of shooting stars. "Is that a promise?" Sin smiled ruffling Alannahs hair. "Of course it is my little princess." Alannah was all smiles and obediently ate the ''yucky'' food. That however, was not without a disappointed face. But with her papas promise It was worth the ''misfortune.'' After eating and bathing Alannah, Sin tucked her into bed for the night. Alannah wrapped her arms, and her wings around Sins neck. "Goodnight papa I love you, don''t forget your promise. If you do, I''ll tell mom you''ve been a bad papa!" Sin smiled kissing Alannahs forehead. "Don''t worry papa wont forget promises made to my little princess." Alannahs eyes grew heavy and soon she entered the land of dreams. Seeing this, Sin went and sat cross legged in the middle of the tent. Sin closed his eyes circulating his refinement method, while his Sword Qi roared awake covering the surrounding 25 kilometers. If any hostile threats were to enter, their only outcome would be death. The night passed peacefully while Sins Sword Qi did its job. Sin raked in over 300 points! It was a decent amount to earn in only 9 hours. Sin got himself up and started making breakfast. With the aromas wafting out, it was only a matter of time before the hungry glutton woke up. Alannah came out of the tent yawning, but her eyes widened immediately becoming interested in her papas cooking. Alannah ran over jumping onto Sins kneeling figure. "Good morning papa!" Sin took out 4 pieces of bacon from the frying pan. "Eat this for now, breakfast will be ready shortly. Do you want to go wake up auntie Ari?" Alannahs happy look turned to one of betrayal. "No I don''t like her! She tried to take me out of papas arms!" "Alright, that leaves it up to me then. Stay here and don''t eat anything else." "Okay" Alannah replied drooling as she stared at the pans full of food. Sin went and woke up Ariya, she was much easier to wake up than Merala was. Thank god for that Sin thought to himself. Sin came back and made everyone''s plate of breakfast. Ariya soon came out, stretching as she splashed some cold water in face. After everyone finished breakfast. A tremendous aura swept the surrounding area. Beads of sweat fell from Sins body. His look became one of terror and uncertainty. Sins entire being was shaking as he tried his hardest to reach for his sheathe. A figure appeared just outside of their camp. The figure was a female whose body seemed to be completely made of water. She had aqua blue wings, blue eyes, flowing blue hair and a halberd in her hands. "Mmh I knew I smelt the scent of a man nearby. And he''s a damn good looking one as well, why don''t you come and ''play'' with your elder sister?" Sins analyze flared Name: Kyaku Race: Water Nymph Race Rating: 45 Level: 75 Health: 250,000 Mana: 750,000 Strength: 475 Intelligence: 528 Agility: 600 Dexterity: 600 Physique: 350 Comprehension: 300 Sins entire being was shaking like a leaf in the middle of the storm. His veins bulged, nearly ripping their way through the surface of his skin. "How.... can.... I... help.... you...?" Sin asked already exhausted just from being under Kyakus pressure. "I want to eat you up handsome man." The water nymph was licking her lips as if she found a delicacy. Sins survival instincts kicked into overdrive. He grabbed Alannah by the cuff of her shirt, and Ariya by her arm. Throwing them with all of his strength while he yelled out. "We''ll meet up at another time. You two get as far away from here as you can!" Kyaku watched this all unfold with a smile on her face. "I suppose I can let those two fishes escape from the net this time." Sin unsheathed his Soul Weapon and flipped the switch in his mind. His killing intent billowed out, bringing a slight crease to Kyakus brows. "That''s a pretty impressive killing intent for a little human like yourself." Kyakus body became encased by an aqua blue full body armour. "That however is nowhere near enough to face me. A little human like you, who hasn''t even generated their refinement armour. You should know better than to participate in these trials." Kyaku flew forward stabbing her halberd towards Sins heart. Sins weapon became as heavy as if a 1,000 tonne mountain was crumbling. Sin raised his Soul Weapon up with one hand, slashing it down all his might. [Impose] Wield something light as if it were heavy! Sins weapon clashed with the Halberd, a huge blast wave was unleashed, Sin was launched backwards 500 feet. Kyaku was left there stunned. "A puny level 10 human warrior wasn''t blown into a blood mist after receiving my attack? This just got interesting." Sin and Kyaku clashed many times giving the same results each time. However, Sin was quickly becoming exhausted. Facing a higher races pressure, and someone who outstrips himself in combat power was extremely taxing. Sins aura vanished as he used [Void Steps] while Kyaku was shocked, she was not worried by any means, the technique was rather mesmerizing to watch though. Sin appeared behind Kyaku as lightning sparked around his body, Sins sword slashed out 75 times in one second, creating a beautiful lightning buddha. [Spark Rush!] Sins fist blazed with [Phoenix Queen] as he delivered a mighty blow to Kyakus temple. Sin appeared behind Kyaku, putting her in a choke hold. Through both attacks, Sin knew Kyaku let them slip by her defense. This greatly pissed Sin off, never had he been looked down upon in such a manner before! "Since your so goddamn tough let''s do it this way!" Sin launched himself off the ground, his [Midnight Glory] Sacred Flame fused with [Phoenix Queen] A brilliant yet deadly golden-black lotus flower shimmered in the morning sun. Its Aura raged as it sucked in all the fire essence within 1,500 kilometers. Sin had been fighting with everything he had, just to keep Kyaku in the choke hold. His physique and God tier refinement method was showing their worth. But tricks only lasted so long against absolute power. Kyaku swinged her Halberd backwards, impaling Sins stomach tearing out multiple organs. Sins blood sprayed on Kyakus armour. But he kept his undying will strong, and bit through the pain. As his trump card had finished preparing, Sin smiled to himself before shouting. "Yippee Ki Yay mother fucker!" A beam of blazing golden-black flame shot down pummeling both Sin and Kyaku. [Midnight Queens Fury!] The beam pierced through the ground, creating a massive heat wave spreading out in the distance. Sin was powerless, his body had blood burst out from all over, and steam was emitting from his bare upper body. Sin let go of his grip on Kyaku. Plummeting towards the ground, Sins body made big cloud of dust from the impact. Kyaku was in midair still, her armour had slight cracks appearing as her helmet shattered into pieces. Her beautiful long blue hair was in disarray, and blood leaked from the corners of her lips. "I was going to let you fuck me and be my pet, but now you''ve pissed your big sister the fuck off!" Kyaku roared as she threw her Halberd in a rage, piercing downwards towards Sins head. Sin looked up weakly as his last thought went through his head. "Fuck me, I think I bit off more than I could chew by pissing Snakey snake off." Just as the Halberds tip was about to pierce through his forehead, a tear in the void appeared, with a hand reaching out and snatching the Halberd. A dimension shattering harrumph was heard before a cocky woman''s voice followed suit. "You are not worthy enough to kill the man my master has enlisted me to protect!" The Halberd was thrown back with insane amounts of strength. Shooting towards Kyaku so fast, when the tip of the Halberd made contact with her refinement armour. Kyaku blew up into a chunky crimson blood mist. This woman was naturally Shana. She walked over to Sins body and placed one hand on his cheat. A blue aura wrapped around her hand as she healed Sin. Sins injuries and spent energy recovered In less than 5 minutes. Shana walked away in a terrible mood while she flew into long winded rant. "Goddamn men and there fucking stupid actions! Oh Shana go protect him while I train his wife. Master I hope you get fucked in the ass by a Tyrannosaurus Rex!" Sin who just sat up burst out into laughter. Shana turned around with her fist clenched, she punched down on Sins head nearly breaking his skull. "And what the fuck do you think your laughing about huh?! If it weren''t for me, you''d be getting eaten by that fucking slut by now!" Sin covered his head with his hands, a tear nearly escaping from his eyes. "Well aren''t you just a frisky one?" Sin said mischievously Before Shana had the chance to beat on Sin more, she heard Ariya and Alannah returning. Shana vanished into thin air leaving a warning for Sin. "Not a word about anything you just saw. if you say anything I will chop your dick and balls off!" Sin shivered before he heard the worried calls behind him. "Papa!" Alannah was running full speed and jumped into Sins embrace. "Stupid papa bad papa!" Sin hugged Alannah while patting her head. "No need to be worried my princess. Papa is okay see?" Alannah looked at Sin in disbelief. "You just fought a level 75 Water Nymph. How are you even still alive?" Sin was shocked hearing this from Alannah. Sin questioningly asked. "How do you know that was a Water Nymph or her level for that matter?" Alannah hung her head sideways with a questioning voice of her own. "Your acting weird papa." Sin was full of confusion, but he decided to not to bother about it now. What mattered is he was alive and that the Water Nymph died. Ariya returned she too was stunned seeing Sin in one piece. Sin seeing this sighed before saying. "Yeah yeah I know, surprising I managed to survive right?" Ariya nodded her head. Sin sighed to himself before saying. "Let''s take it easy from here in, there won''t be another miracle." Sin picked Alannah up before walking off, Sin was unaware Alannah made direct eye contact with Shanas hidden figure. Alannah transmitted her voice to Shana. "If you bring any harm to my papa I will kill you and your master!" Drawing her thumb across her neck as example. Alannah then returned to her normal cheerful self. "Papa I want to eat lots more of yummy food!" Volume 2 Chapter 14 Mystic Blade Empress Sin, Ariya and Alannah took their time travelling around throughout the day. Sin had lucky stars counting on him, no monstrous existence like Kyaku had shown up again. In the later evening Sin had pitched camp, looking above Sin squinted his eyes. There was a towering figure being held up by the clouds. As if there was somebody else looking down towards him. Sin felt a hand fall on his shoulder, while a voice made it''s way to his mind. "If you dare take the climb, you can increase your chances of survival greatly. A series of steps formed leading up to the towering figure. Sin looked up to the clouds again, but the feeling of someone calling him had vanished. Sin went back and set up camp, explaining everything to Ariya of what just happened. Alannah who had a mouthful of food was the first to reply. "Papa you have to take the trial and go up those steps." Sin had a look of confusion. "Why do you say that sweety?" Alannah looked at Sin with a big smile on her face. "Because papa needs to become stronger to protect me and mom." Sin smiled "Alright, I was going to do the trial anyways." Sin finished eating before absorbing everything back into his Dimensional Bag. Sin knelt down giving Alannah many handfuls of candy. "You be good for your auntie Ari okay my princess? Papa will be back soon." Sin hugged and kissed Alannah, while she was unwilling to let go. "I want to go with you papa, don''t leave me alone with that bad woman!" Sin smiled "Auntie Ari isn''t a bad woman, she''s very kind and loving. You will grow to like her, be good for your papa." Sin ruffled Alannahs hair before walking towards the steps. Taking a deep breath, Sin took his first step. The moment his foot made contact with the step, a bolt of thunder struck down on Sin from above. Sins fighting spirit got ignited. Looking up into the sky Sin yelled provocatively. "If that''s all you got up your sleeves, your trial is going to be easy as fuck!" As if to answer Sins provocation, a thunder dragon swirled around before launching down towards Sin. Sin punched out, smashing the thunder Dragon into specks of light. Taking his next step, it lit up into a fiery inferno burning away at Sins body. Sin inhaled the fire swallowing it in one big gulp. The fire became absorbed by the Midnight Glory Sacred Flame with relish. Sin took the next step, Sword Qi formed itself into rows of densely packed swords. They began raining down towards Sin from every direction. Sin unsheathed his Soul Weapon, using [Blood Dragon Blooming Lotus] Sin cut through the Sword Qi. The Sword Qi became specks of light, being hungrily devoured by his Soul Weapons spirit. Sin climbed the next 96 steps with ease, then after reaching the 100th step. A massive pressure weighed down on Sin, revealing the figure of a winged birdman. Race: Harpy Race rating: 47 Level: 40 Health: 125,000 Mana: 50,000 Strength: 150 Intelligence: 50 Agility: 175 Dexterity: 175 Sin thought to himself. "Seems like this a trial to make me overcome my limits. Kyaku was a devastating enemy, but my strengths will allow me to make up for the lack of stats compared to this Harpy." Sin excitedly flew toward the Harpy. Before slashing out with his Soul Weapon, Sin twitched all his muscles creating a ''vibration'' that formed with his weapon as the core. Clashing weapons with the Harpy, the vibration played it''s part. The Harpy''s hand became numb with a tingling sensation. Sin dealt a critical hit, piercing the Harpy''s lungs. Not willing to give his opponent time to recover. Sin jumped onto the back of the Harpy, grabbing both of its wings and using his legs as the spring board. Sin tore with all his strength, ripping the wings off of the Harpy. Sins Soul Weapon blazed with [Phoenix Queen] before using [Spark Rush.] The Harpy was cleaved in half, with both halves of the body falling downwards. Sin gathered all the fire essence in the surrounding area. Punching downwards a massive flaming fist obliterated the Harpy. Sin continued taking his trial, every 100 steps he took was empowering him in different ways. But it was in a custom set, made to build on his strengths. The second guardian was a level 40 Naga with a race rating of 43, similar to the Water Nymph Kyaku. Sin took much more time this time to defeat the Naga. The superior race rating was a heavy mental pressure on Sin, while the enemy was beatable. The hardest part to fight back was the instinctual fear of facing a higher race. Throughout the fight, Sin was gradually adapting himself, the mental suppression became weaker, making Sin able to display more of his strength the more he fought. Finally after 30 minutes, Sin cut the Naga into pieces keeping them as ''yummy food'' for Alannah. The next 7 hours passed, Sin had defeated 5 guardians so far. The next guardian however, brought terror to Sin. Race: Dragon Race rating: 39 Level 40: Health: 600,000 Mana: 600,000 Strength: 275 Intelligence: 275 Agility: 275 Dexterity: 275 The Dragon looked down on Sin with hard to conceal disdain, it spoke its degree. "If you are able to lower my health to one third, the Mystic Blade Empress will be content with that and you can go on your way. However, I will kill you with any given opening you give me. Don''t expect me to give you special treatment because that old hag favours you." The dragon reached out with its claws. One claw formed the number zero, the other with its index finger pushing through the zero. The dragon cockily smiled before saying. "This is me fucking your wife last night!" Sin flashed out of existence, reappearing above the Dragon with both his fists lit up in brilliant flames. Sin smashed his fists down on the dragons horns, the horn issued loud cracking sounds but hardly any damage was done to it.Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. "You dare to jump on me like a monkey with such a pitiful physique like that? Get the fuck out of here!" The dragons claw opened up to a palm, grabbing Sins body and crushing with all its might. Sins refinement method began circulating, the essence of the dragons Qi began flowing into Sins Dragon Scale Diagram. No scales formed, but Sin felt as if a empty reservoir was being filled. Before the palm closed making Sin a bloody pancake. Sin pushed both his arms out, the dragon struggled to crush Sin out of existence. Sin bellowed furiously. "This is me fucking your hand right now!" Sin Imbued his Soul Weapon with 3,000 points of Mana. Controlling his Soul Weapon, Sin stabbed it downwards into the dragons palm. A magnificent cyan-black and golden-black flame burst out lightly scolding the dragons palm. [Phoenix Queens Flame Array!] The dragon let go of his grip on Sin, given this chance Sin took out a dagger from his combat boots. Imbuing 1,000 points of Mana, the dagger morphed into a Mana blade. Sin engulfed it with both Phoenix Queen, and Midnight Glory Sacred Flames. Piercing through the hard scales, Sin ran up the dragons arm. Sin used the remaining 50 points of Mana to propel himself forward, piercing through the dragons eyes. In a fit of fury and pain, the dragons tail swatted Sin like a fly. Sin was sent barreling backwards smashing through hundreds of trees. Sin wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth "How''s that for fucking your mother!?" Sin yelled defiantly. The dragon let out a baleful aura before changing shape into a humanoid figure. The humanoid dragon now dual wielded two swords, one red and the other green. Sin launched himself towards the dragons left side, with its eye impaled and not yet recovered. Sin was done playing ''nice.'' Sin changed his Soul Weapon into its Great Sword form. Channeling all his Sword Qi into it, purple lightning wolves were soon created. Sin rose his weapon into the air with both hands, locking onto the dragons aura. Sin slashed downwards with all his might. [Wolf Kings Fenrir Slash!] Sin then gathered the remaining Sword Qi forming a crescent wave. Swiping his Great Sword out, a massive tidal wave of howling Sword Qi rushed behind the Fenrirs. [Wolf Kings Howling Crescent!] Both attacks landed on the humanoid dragon without missing their mark. A roar of fury and humiliation sounded out. "You goddamn human piece of trash!" The humanoid flung itself at Sin blinded by it''s own humiliation. Sin caught the dragons fist, pulling backwards Sins knee met the humanoids gut. Sin kept tight hold onto the arm, back flipping Sin vibrated his muscles twisting forcefully. The humanoid dragons arm ushered a loud ''SNAP" Sin appeared behind the humanoid dragon, not forgetting to add more oil to the fire. "So.... how was your trip to snap city?" Ducking and just narrowly avoiding a sharp blade to his eyes. Sin whistled joyfully "Seems like the doctors are out of commission today." Throwing himself to the ground, Sins hand lit up with Phoenix Queen. Forming a ''knife'' with his hand, Sin slashed his hand across the humanoids Achilles tendon. Sins hand cut through the skin nicking the tendon, but was stopped by the dragons hard bones. Sin punched out meeting fist with fist, the Dragon Diagram was hungrily eating the dragons essence. And Sins battle lust had been ignited. Both man and dragon were brawling to their hearts content. The dragon had lost itself to rage and humiliation. Not only had it looked down upon this human, it had been injured and taunted on many occasions. It''s left eye was the price to pay for it''s over confidence. As a superior race and higher being, how could it not disdain a mere human? Sin was full of energy, his body felt like it was on fire! The dragon was getting beat back more and more, just as it was about to gather all its dragon essence into its mouth. A jade white hand slapped the dragon unconscious. A cool and mature womanly voice was heard "You''ve gone past a third of your set health, not only that you were going to use your dragon breath on a ''pitiful'' lower race being. Your pride and cockiness has defeated you." The voice once more sounded in Sins ears. "You have passed my trial with flying colours. You may proceed to my palace." Sin looked at the unconscious dragon, leaving a note asking for a proper challenge in the future. Sin continued his way up the steps. While the offer was given to him, Sin didn''t back down from the trial. There was still 2 more guardians left. Sin spent 4 hours passing the next 100 steps, covered in blood from head to toe. With bated breaths and under significant pressure, Sin pushed forward meeting the 6th guardian. Race: Primordial Chimera [Mutated] Race rating: 43 Level: 30 Health 475,000 Mana: 375,000 Strength: 375 Intelligence: 325 Dexterity: 380 Agility: 400 Sin gulped, there was hesitation in his eyes. He had the good graces of his Dragon Diagram consuming the dragons essence, but this time, there would be no cheat to help him. Was it worth risking his life? Not to mention the 7th and final guardian must be an extraordinary being. The chimera showed a knowing smile before talking. "It''s your decision to make, but you must know. Everyone in the vast galaxies must own up to their decisions, are you willing to lose your life? Or do you think you''ll be able to defeat me? I''m not like that stupid serpent who loses itself to rage and humiliation. I''ve watched your previous fights, you are NO match for me in your current state." Sin also agreed, but he couldn''t help but ask. "So if I bring you down to half health it is considered my win?" The Primordial Chimera replied nodding its head. "That is correct, but I implore you not to cross that step. You must know, for a human you are rather impressive. You could be a future emperor ranked warrior of humans with your vast and untapped potential. Give up your pride to live another day, a man must know when to take setbacks and improve himself." Sin clenched his fists, there was nothing he hated more than being powerless. But the Chimera was right, as a man who is responsible for the lives of over 7 million people. Taking the necessary setbacks was essential. Sin sighed before sheathing his weapon. "I will be back in the future for a proper fight. However, don''t you dare hide your true power from me when that time comes!" The Chimera was stunned, but it also smiled with an expecting look towards the future. "Very well, human you may leave me with your name." "Sin" Sin said before walking away. The Primordial Chimera looked behind himself. "You seem to have found yourself a proper disciple empress." The empress''s voice sounded out. "It''s a miracle, with your curse he was able to fight back the urge to throw himself into the gates of hell." The Chimera nodded its head. "Not bad for a human. It''s a shame his ancestor perished the moment he ascended. The Wolf King Ancestor was truly a capable man, is this your way of paying him back for saving your life as a child?" The womens voice turned cold. "That man was a father to me. He raised me as if I were his own daughter, I swear I will one day ascend and kill those mother fuckers that took my fathers life!" ---------------------------- Sin made his way towards the palace. When it finally came into his sight, it was a majestic crimson palace, it had far too many scars across its exterior. It was surprising that it was still able to stand, Sin pushed open the palace doors. What entered his view was a world made out of fairytale, there were lush green forests, waterfalls, rainbows and so on. Sins eyes were inevitably attracted to a purple robed women, her black hair cascaded like the hidden beauty behind the night sky. Her eyes were profound like the deep cosmos, with smooth milky white skin, and a phoenix feather in her hair. Sins analyze had shocked the living daylights out of him. Name: Mystic Blade Empress Race: Mystic Chaos Divine Beast Race rating: 7 Level: 650 Health: 75,240,000 Mana: 55,000,000 Strength: 4,500 Intelligence: 3,250 Dexterity: 4,700 Agility: 4,700 Sins body dropped hugging the ground. After his shock had nearly shut his body down. The Mystic Blade Empresses aura as a higher being nearly killed Sin by him making eye contact with her. Seeing this scene the Mystic Blade Empress apologized to Sin. "Sorry young one, it is very rare I meet humans. I am normally used to dealing with beings that are able to withstand my aura." Sin felt like his existence was worth nothing more than specks of dust floating in the cosmos when being in front of this existence. Just from that once quick look, Sins brain had nearly shut down as a defensive mechanism to protect him. Sin dared not be rude, going onto both knees Sin kowtowed in front of the Mystic Blade Empress. "I am grateful for just being able to meet such a great being as yourself. I hope this show of respect is enough." The Mystic Blade Empress sent out Mana raising Sins body. "There is no need to behave in such a way when in my presence. I will not waste your time, you have 8 days remaining before you''re sent out of here. I have picked you to be my disciple, the day I transcend is nearing. I will no longer be in this ''realm'' So I want you to be the one to inherit and carry on my legend when I transcend." The Mystic Blade Empresses aura increased to a tremendous amount. A crystalline blue and white aura raged, placing her hand over top Sins heart, the Mystic Blade Empress began the inheritance ceremony. The crystalline blue-white energy formed a cocoon around Sins body. When this power mixed with Sins body, an unknown rainbow aura mixed within. The Mystic Blade Empress was taken back, for the slight second she saw the rainbow aura, it felt as if her entire being had been washed over by the cool breeze during a humid summer day. It felt as if the once closed doors in her path of cultivation had opened up. The Mystic Blade Empress saw the figure of the Wolf King Ancestor wink out of existence, tears came to the Mystic Blade Empresses eyes. She heard the loving voice that had been missing for hundreds of thousands of years. "My daughter do not ascend! There is only deat-" The voice cut out when the Wolf King Ancestors remnant soul lost power. Seeing his daughter after ascending more than 350,000 years ago had completed the last wish in life. The relief had no longer given the remnant soul ''power'' to remain. "Father you''ve suffered so long, now your remnant soul has finally passed along. Just how long have you been transporting these seeded people from different worlds? Did seeing me finally exhaust what was left of your being?" The Mystic Blade Empress looked at the cocoon holding Sins body within. "This is all I can do on my end, how much you gain from this depends on yourself." Volume 2 Chapter 15 Mystic Blade World Meanwhile back at the underground lab of the Azure Dragon Clan. Glaze was standing in front of the tube with a teenage girl inside. The girl was staring back hatefully at Glaze. Ever since his fight with Sin, Glaze had been mulling over himself many times. He had come to the answer he had known all along. Glaze punched the tube, just as the girl was about to slit his throat, Glaze put his hands up in the air saying. "I don''t expect you to believe me, but I am here to set you free." Glaze held a key in his hand, sticking it into the bomb collar around the girls neck. The bomb collar was deactivated, then he pushed another button deactivating the chip inside the girls brain. There would be no one to control her anymore. The girl look at Glaze with disbelieving eyes. "Why are you letting me go, after all your plans to use me to harm my own big brother!?" Glaze looked the girl in the eyes. "Jasmine, your brother is a man who has been through enough in life. I cannot made up for my misdeeds of ''killing'' and sending you to this world. But I am no longer willing to be a pawn in this cruel game. Go to the Vermilion Bird Clan, Sin will be back in 8 days." Glaze winked out of the underground lab, leaving the stunned Jasmine behind. She was in a emotional state. "Big brother it''s been a long 10 years of suffering. Do you still remember me?" -------------------------------- When Sin reopened his eyes, a world of blades radiating blue white aura was all he could see for over 15 kilometers. All of these swords looked the exact same, and had the exact same spirit as his Soul Weapon. Sin locked onto one that felt the most ''real'' walking over and picking it up. A enemy appeared in his sight. Name: Mystic Blade Spirit Puppet Level: 15 Health: 150,000 Mana: 150,000 Strength: 110 Intelligence: 110 Dexterity: 150 Agility: 150 Then a log appeared in his vision. [You have entered the Mystic Blade World. You must find your real Soul Weapon within 5 days. Failure to do so destroys your Soul Weapon, you lose the chance to inherit the Mystic Blade Disciple class, all stats permanently reduced by 70 points. Be warned, the more Mystic Blade Spirit Puppets you kill, the stronger they become. Defeat the Mystic Blade Spirit Puppet King to increase your evaluations final score.] A giant timer appeared in the sky displaying 120 hours worth of time left. Wielding a clone of his Soul Weapon, a world of limitless enemies corresponding to the number of cloned weapons. This was the perfect chance to refine his Blood Dragon Sword Methods. Previously Sin had only fought weaker, or overwhelmingly stronger enemies. This was the perfect range for mastering the remaining paths. Back on earth he had already mastered the Water, Sky, Fire and Spirit paths. All that was left was Earth and Heart paths. Wielding his ''clone'' weapon, Sin felt his Mana automatically rotate. Sin felt a feeling of connection with this clone, as if it were an extension of his own arm. There was that sense of familiarity, the sword was him, and he was the sword. Sins eyes began having a white-blue hue appear within, every flaw, misstep, error in Mana flow became a visual to his eyes. Sin slashed downwards, shattering the Mystic Blade Spirit Puppets weapon. Throwing his weapon behind himself, Sin catches it with his left hand mid somersault. Sins weapon slashed out three times on the weak points on the puppet. [Blood Dragon Eviscerating Night] Flexing his arm, Sin swiped up with all his might, cleaving the puppet in half from bottom to top. Sins weapon blazed with a fiery aura, a flaming blade appeared high in the sky. Exploding into a shower containing thousands of smaller flaming blades. [Blood Dragons Fire Path: Midday Solar Rain] The puppet was wiped out in less than 45 seconds, Sins eyes returned to normal. The whole time this was happening, his mind was void of thought, planning, real-time combat analysis and many other factors that normally play in his mind. It was a mystical state, he and his weapon became a single being. Both operated off of their desire, and the fastest way to wipe out the enemy. Sin looked at his ''cloned weapon'' it was fading into particles of light. Looking at it fading away, Sin kept the remaining half of it in his Dimensional bag, to his surprise it appeared and had a number 1 out of 100,000 beside it, its description showed its value immediately. [Mystic Blade Sword Heart Fragment: 1/100,000. Collect all 100,000 to relive the Sword Heart memories within. This is the Sword Heart formed by the Mystic Blade Empress. Each individuals Sword Heart is unique to oneself, take care to only study and not replicate someone else''s abilities. To become a true Sword Heart practitioner, one must believe in their companion and own abilities!] Sin picked up the next weapon, extending his senses to the peak. Sin felt that connection appear again, the sword was him, and he was the sword. However, he could no longer accurately judge the weak points like before. It were as if a gate was blocking his path. Sin stopped himself from consciously focusing on it, all that mattered was he felt that state. It was just a matter of time until it became reflex. Sins mind formed a battlefield, locking onto the puppet Sins mind began it''s analysis. Standing still with eyes closed, the puppet began its onslaught on Sin. Sin deflected every blow, attacking when he found the right opening. Throwing the puppet off balance Sins aura retracted, once again becoming calm like the ocean without any waves. Just as the puppet began its motion, Sin slashed out ahead of time, shattering its weapon. Sins subconscious started flowing outside of his body, with every move in the environment, Sin weaved in and out through the particles. Arriving in front of the puppets body, Sins sheathe slammed into its stomach, blowing a hole through it. Unsheathing his blade, Sins Sword Qi formed a straight arrow before diverging into multiple paths. The puppet fell apart in pieces, Sin put away the sword clone, adding one more to his 100,000 goal. Sins Mana turned into multiple hands, reaching out grabbing 25 swords in a split second. His Mana formed a pool with 24 floating beside him, 25 puppets formed and swarmed towards Sin. Weaving in and out of the clones like shadow boxing, Sin was slashing out, deflecting, piercing, and guiding the puppets to attack each other. Sins Mana was flowing smoother with each passing second, various variables and weak points were exposed to Sin. Sins body was like he was dunking his head bobbing for apples. His Sword Qi formed a tight fit star, with every movement in the environment, Sin unconsciously reacted shattering weapons, tearing puppets apart. Sins eyes opened blazing in a white-blue hue, the flow of Mana was shown in his vision. Sins eyes were lifeless, but his mind subconscious was operating his body like a professional Gundam pilot. Sins Mana surged picking up another 50 swords, 50 new puppets formed. The battlefields grid in Sins mind expanded, he felt his brain throb as it was dealing with 75 moving beings, the environmental particles, the flow of the wind and moving clouds. Sins body was moving 150 times a second, orchestrating the battlefield to his musical. Dangs and clangs resounded out, shattered swords like the beat of the drums. Sin imposed his will, interchanging his weapon between heavy like mountains, and light like a birds feathers. After 2 minutes, 75 fragments were now in his inventory. Sins body was soaked in sweat, his mind throbbing but excitement was seen within his eyes. Sin stood still for many minutes letting his brain cool off. Sins Mana surged out grabbing 100 swords this time, to push your limits you must face danger. Sins brain screamed like a steam whistle, his subconscious expanded out of his body, his consciousness was like a door stopper between the two gates. After destroying 85 puppets, Sins body spasmed as over 15 swords left deep scars on his body. Sins consciousness rocked as the battlefield grid in his mind vanished, Sins subconscious returned to his body exhausted. Sin made quick work finishing off the remaining puppets. Sin combined the Sky and Water paths, wings of ice spread out from his back as a crystalline ice armour covered him, freezing the bleeding wounds. Sin froze each puppet before shattering the sculptures, looting his fragments Sin sat down regaining his composure. After another 5 minutes Sin rinsed and repeated the same process. After three hours Sin managed to gather 2,000 fragments, the Mystic Blade Spirit Puppets were now becoming stronger, more intelligent, Sin noticed his abilities were being absorbed by the Mystic Blade World. Each wave of puppets were slowly becoming a perfect reflection of his own abilities.Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! Name: Mystic Blade Spirit Puppet Level: 20 Health: 185,000 Mana: 185,000 Strength: 130 Intelligence: 130 Dexterity: 170 Agility: 170 The pressure from stronger puppets was pushing Sin into overdrive. Eventually he was able to learn how to swap himself in and out of that mystical state. Sin had gathered a mob of over 175 puppets, it would take him 2 minutes to wipe out 90 of them, he could maintain his state for a max of 143 seconds. Each wave he wiped out he was beginning to expand the time he could stay in his state. After another 3 hours, Sin had managed to gain 5,750 fragments, he could now hold the state for 4 minutes straight. The mobs he had been pulling had increased to 325. Sins Sword Qi was becoming diverse, every second that passed he was becoming used to switching paths and techniques on the fly. His ability of judgement and analysis was improving at breakneck speeds. Finally after gathering a total of 8,000 fragments, Sin was faced with a new challenger after pulling his weapon out. Name: Mystic Blade Spirit King Puppet Level 30: Health: 425,000 Mana: 425,000 Strength: 225 Intelligence: 225 Agility: 265 Dexterity: 265 There was a wave of 125 Mystic Blade Spirit King Puppets. A new notification appeared in his vision. [Defeat this wave to gain a 10% completion rate towards your final grade. Reward: 2,500 Mystic Blade Sword Heart Fragments, evaluation increased to E rank.] Sin looked at the new horde, excitement and fighting intent was ignited within himself. The exhaustion was washed away within an instant, the dragon energy the Dragon Scale Diagram absorbed previously started flooding through Sins being. Filling Sin with the stamina of a dragon, high pitched notes were sounding out from within Sins body. His genes were hungrily devouring the dragons energy, turning it into their own fuel to evolve to a higher level. The battlefield grid rebuilt itself in Sins mind, working up and increasing his tolerance pulling larger mobs. Sins brain was no longer short circuiting, despite the Mystic Blade Spirit King Puppets having mastery over the Sky and Fire paths. Sin had no fear of them, their stats were increased. But a clone of himself was nothing else but partial. This time, Sin was no longer interested in making fast work of the mob, Sin charged forward pulling one and manipulating the others to his will. Sin bobbed and weaved through the crowd, each king puppet had a different method of the Sky and Fire paths techniques. It gave Sin new insights and ways to combine both paths. When Sin had killed 10, he felt the remaining puppets had gotten stronger and smarter. It seemed they were of a single unit, what the others experienced fighting Sin would then be imparted to the remaining live puppets. If that were the case, the final five puppets would be about 6 times as smart, and harder to win over. That was of course, if the fallen did not contribute to their remaining allies, it may even pass the threshold Sin could handle. After 4 minutes, Sin was still in control of the mystical state, over the many hours of training. Sin had been able to switch between his consciousness, and subconscious to control his body. Each mode of operation had it''s benefits and its flaws, Sin was challenging himself to be able to operate in both modes at the same time. This however, taxed his brain easily overriding his control, only giving him 45 seconds of time at max. The gates were opening wider, but there was still much to learn. Whenever Sin felt like he was just on the point of a breakthrough, the feeling would disappear. While it was frustrating, shit happens. "force a relationship too much and it''ll turn to shit." Sins father had always advised him. Sin wielded the clone this time without expanding unnecessary Mana, there would be no need for it this time. Sin ran forward clashing blade with blade, side stepping 2 inches the attack aimed at Sin ripped through the Spirit King Puppet in front of him. Sin isolated that Spirit King Puppet, focusing all his attacks on it and defense in the surrounding. Imposing his will, Sin felt a change this time. The pressure was making his will waver, but nonetheless Sin was not one to take no for an answer when it comes to his own abilities. Sins Mana surged as his aura became incredibly dense and elastic. Sins aura converged with his sword, his Mana formed an outer layer on his weapon. Sins eyes blazed with the hue of blue, Sin found there was a thin red line inside the carapace of the Spirit King Puppet. Sin cleaved his weapon downwards, cutting through the red line. The Spirit King Puppet blew up like a fuse which had just been ignited. Jumping upwards, Sin shot his legs downwards pushing a sword into the ground. Sins eyes focused finding the red thin line again, slashing out with extreme speed that formed a cyclone pushing back the 113 other Spirit King Puppets. Without further explanation the Spirit King Puppet had blown up. Sins head was starting to ache and throb, but he bit through the pain. While he had only just experienced this sensation, it would quickly disappear without further meat to the broth. Sin locked onto 13 puppets remembering the configuration of their sequences. Sin flew forward like a floating cherry blossom during a storm, Sin slayed the 8 puppets, increasing the intelligence of the remaining 105 puppets once again. Before Sin could sever their sequence structure, they had moved it to unknown parts in their body. Sin was losing grips over his state, but his body had simultaneously moved behind one of the Spirit King Puppets. Slashing its calf open it blew up. The remaining had backed off, they channeled their energy into one single unity. The Spirit King Puppet used [Infernal Sword Blaze] of the Fire path. Sin watched on as he let the energy gather forming around the Spirit King Puppets weapon. Sin followed suit using his own [Infernal Sword Blaze] it''s density was thrice as dense. Sins blade wafted out flames of death, as he clashed weapons with the Spirit King Puppet. He felt the dense essence of the Sky path hidden within. A torrent of wind blades exploded out aiming at all sure kill spots on Sins body. Sins body flashed and danced about, dodging each before stabbing the Spirit King Puppet through the left eye blowing it up. Sin licked the blood rolling down his cheek. The murderous beast within Sin had tasted blood and was roaring to go. Sin spent the next 15 minutes killing the remaining 100 Spirit King Puppets. The last 5 had become a force to sweat about. One of the puppets talked somewhat shocking Sin. "If you wish to give up this challenge now, your time to do so is now. From here on out, each one of us you kill will only make the others that much stronger." Sin flew forward smashing his fist into the talkative Spirit King Puppets face. Sin grabbed the puppets arm before leaping over its body, a loud snap was heard as the puppets arm was twisted backwards. Sin stood parallel behind the puppet, threw his elbow backwards caving in the back of the puppets head. Dropping his body to the ground avoiding its follow up attack. Sin got into a handstand formation, locking the Spirit King Puppets head in a X lock. Using his abdominal strength, the puppet was thrown down to the ground. Sin back flipped with his weapon drawn, stabbing downwards through the puppets head. At the last moment its sequence structure shifted throughout its body. Sin combined his consciousness and subconscious together. His blade chased the sequence structure like a fish in water, severing through it like a heater knife through butter. The talkative Spirit King Puppet became an explosion of nuts and bolts. Sin stood up with his weapon pointed at the remaining Spirit King Puppets. "If you wish to talk, you had best learn to clean your mouth of the shit you spew. Now let''s finish this!" Sin charged forward, with both hands on his weapon. Sin did a 180 degree turn with his weapon cleaving through the breastplate of the closest puppet. Sin straightened his body out, imposing his will and Sword Qi into his weapon, Sin slashed down with all his might. A loud "BOOM" was heard like the clap of thunder. Sin ducked his body, with his sword turned upright Sins knee smashed its hilt. Piercing through the arm of another Spirit King Puppet. Throwing his weapon up into the air, Sin used [Void Steps] appearing mid air with weapon in hand, slashing through another Spirit King Puppet. Sins weapon was held diagonally behind his back, bouncing off a blade that was aiming for his neck. Back stepping in a capital S position, Sin appeared behind the attacking Spirit King Puppet. Grabbing it by the forehead with his left hand, Sins right hand eviscerated the head off of the body. Sin jumped backwards kicking out with both legs, launching the body forward into another approaching Spirit King Puppet. Sin turned his neck backwards, seeing the reformed Spirit King Puppet he blew up. "How was your trip to blow up city?" Sin smiled provoking it. "If you think that''s enough to eradicate the 5 of us, you''re sadly mistaken." Sin looked forward seeing the other 2 reform in perfect shape. "Hoh now this is fun, undying puppets? Perfect!" Sins switch in his mind flipped, his killing intent billowed out causing the Mystic Blade World to rock. The Mystic Blade Empress who created the world, was sipping tea with a man in her courtyard. The Mystic Blade Empresses face changed to a look of shock. Seeing this the man asked her worriedly. "What''s wrong my wife?" This man is the one who has been training Merala. The Mystic Blade Empress took out a mystic ball from her dimensional bag. Within was Sin and his billowing killing intent, behind him was a mountain of corpses, rivers of blood, guts and dismembered bodies littered the ''battlefield'' behind himself. The Mystic Blade Empress smiled. "My disciple is a rather interesting human isn''t he husband?" The man looked and his eyes nearly shot out of their sockets. "What the fuck! The husband is so much more terrifying than the wife is!" The Mystic Blade Empress was shocked. "What do you mean by the husband is much more terrifying than the wife is?" The man replied. "About 13 days ago they chanced upon my Tower Of Sword Heart, it was him and his wife. I took his wife as my personal disciple, one of the ancient swords in my possession had called out to her. So I have decided to take his wife as my direct disciple. What''s shocking is that you picked his husband out as your disciple, and he is much more terrifying than his wife is." The Mystic Blade Empress smiled widely. "So not only am I stronger than you, better in bed, I also got the better disciple!" The man frowned, cursing Sin for the comment he just got from his wife. The remaining Spirit King Puppets showed traces of fear. Sin seeing this once again voiced out. "So it seems even once dumb beings can sense fear. Very good, maybe this instinct you have developed may keep you alive longer!" Sin flashed forward, his weapon was wrapped in a baleful red hue. Slashing down on the nearest Spirit King Puppet, his baleful aura had contaminated the spirit mark placed on its body. Sin tore his weapon through the puppets breastplate, severing the sequence structure. This time the puppet didn''t reform. "So it seems when you fear death, you become just like the others huh?" Sin smashed his fist through a Spirit King Puppets head. His hand lit up in flames while his weapon snaked through its body. Sin contained his killing intent, sure enough after keeping interest in the puppet it reformed 3 minutes later. Sin unleashed his killing intent as he slaughtered the remaining 4 with ease. When he finished his challenge there were logs waiting for him. [Congratulations! You have completed your challenge.] [Congratulations! you have risen to E rank. Rewards: 2,500 Sword Heart Fragments, +15 points to all stats, Physique +5 points, Comprehension +5 points, 2,375,000 Experience Points.] Sin was overjoyed, during the fight he found his killing intent was able to be controlled under the mystical state. Normally when unleashing it, Sin would become a beast that lived only for slaughter. But now, he would be able to truly unleash it to his hearts content, while also being in complete control of himself. This was his biggest weakness. Sin was a trained killer on earth, and claimed well over 125,000 lives. The brutality and killing intent had seeped into his very being. Think of it like this, if you were a chef and one day you lost your hands. That would cut off your lively hood, all your life you practiced becoming a better chef. How could you ignore that calling? It was similar to Sins case, he craved for killing and wreaking havoc. It had been deeply ingrained into his being. Volume 2 Chapter 16 Mystic Blade Spirit Emperor Puppet Sin took a couple minutes to rest up before continuing on his grinding spree. Sin had gathered a total of 700 swords this time. A wave of new and improved Mystic Blade Spirit Puppets hounded him. Name: Mystic Blade Spirit Puppets Level: 40 Health: 525,000 Mana: 525,000 Strength: 255 Intelligence: 255 Dexterity: 295 Agility: 295 Clashing with the first puppet, Sin was sent skidding backwards. His hands were numb and shaking violently. Sins eyes widened in shock thinking to himself. "These mother fuckers just cloned my technique and even upgraded it!! How fucking dare they!?" Sins body slithered like a snake, gathering power from his entire being and channeling it into one focus point. Slashing downwards, Sin managed to make the Mystic Blade Puppet back off 4 steps. His entire body was devouring the dragons essence at a enriched speed now. The pressure was pushing his body to adapt faster. Sin sheathed his weapon before quick-drawing it at insane speeds. The sound of a thunder clap was heard, a giant net of Sword Qi was formed. As if it had a mind of its own, the Sword Qi was like a school of fish, swimming around in their territory without restraint. Sins eyes blazed in white and blue, the battle field in his mind reformed. His body was moving 750 times a second, as if he were a wandering specter appearing all over the place. Sins weapons were slashing out in intense speeds, thunder rumbled and the wind howled forming a cyclone with himself at the center. Sin spent a whole 20 minutes wiping this crowd out, feeling the time about 15 hours passed since he had entered the Mystic Blade World. He had gained 11,200/100,000 fragments. Feeling pressured, especially at permanently losing levels and the Mystic Blade Disciple Class. Sins body worked into overdrive, flipping his switch back on Sin continued his rampage. Three days past, Sin had gathered a total of 64,000/100,000 fragments, as well as completing three more challenges, earning another +45 all stats and +15 to Physique and Comprehension, Sins opponents were now overwhelmingly strong. Each and every wave was of Mystic Blade King Spirit Puppets. Name: Mystic Blade King Spirit Puppets Level: 50 Health: 750,000 Mana: 750,000 Strength: 325 Intelligence: 325 Dexterity: 375 Agility: 375 Sin was currently drenched in his own blood, even with his body continuously absorbing the dragons essence. Sin felt like a mountain of lead, each movement he made was costing him all the energy in his very being. His arms were heavy like having a weighted mountain held up by them for 72 hours straight. Sins consciousness was exhausted, and steam was literally billowing out of his ears. His brain was overworked, just the single thought of his next move shocked his mind with burning pain. Sin just narrowly avoided a sword chopping his arm off, but failed to dodge the one that stabbed through his chest. The Spirit King Puppet brazillian kicked Sin, sending Sins exhausted and drained body backwards. Sin was like a rocket through the Mystic Blade World, two giant 200 meter dust waves were created by Sins rocketing body. Sin finally stopped after slamming into a mountain, blood splattered all over the ground as Sin coughed up blood with chunks of organs mixed within. The Spirit King Puppet had arrived in front of Sin. "Pitiful human, if you would just give up on this trial, you would be saving time for the both of us. If you self evict yourself, you can leave the trial with everything you have already earned. However, if you fail in the remaining 36 hours, you will lose it all and have many difficulties coming your way." Sin had nearly fallen into a state of unconsciousness. Sin pulled his body out of the mountain nearly dropping to the ground, Sin stabbed his weapon into the ground beneath him. Blue-white aura began circulating around his body, Sins will would never allow himself to lose to anyone. Even if it was the inevitable destruction of the world, Sin is the cockroach that would survive it. Sins body flashed in front of the Spirit King Puppet. His index finger was illuminated with a sparkling crystal clear aura, stabbing his finger through the Spirit King Puppets carapace. The aura shot out starting as a small arrow of light, before expanding turning into a cyan-white coloured ball of aura. [Mystic Sorcery: White Nebula!] "Nothing but utter bullshit. If you have time to speak, you have time to cut your enemy down!" Sins body finally gave out when the threat of an enemy disappeared. Falling with his back on the ground, looking up at the sky in the Mystic Blade World. Sin was exhausted mentally, while his body was full of vigor and roaring to go. "That makes 64,001 only 35,999 more to go." Sin closed his eyes for 30 minutes, allowing his mind to come back to peak condition. While his exhaustion was still there, at least he was now able to act and fight properly. During the trial after he had gained more than 10,000 Sword Heart Fragments. A new path of development entered his mind sea, Mystic Sorcery. While the class Mystic Blade Disciple class wasn''t like traditional mages, it did combine allowing one to be both a warrior, and slightly weaker mage at the same time. However, the Mystic Sorcery had many modes of operation. So far Sin had only taken the time to learn White Nebula, there were well over 10 attack, defensive, restraining, and formation spells to learn in each branch. After mastering all 10 of each branch, the Mystic Sorcery would reveal its second level, bringing in intermediate magic, then afterwards following into Advanced> Master> Grand Master> Saint> Divine> and ending at God rank spells. The Mystic Blade Empress and her husband were sitting there stunned. Seeing her husband look at her, she took the initiative with her hands up in the air. "I had no part in teaching him any techniques, or how to enter the Mystic Soul states. Let alone combining his consciousness and subconscious entering the Mystic Unity state, not even I have fully mastered that. This little monster can handle the first form for 20 minutes, and the second form for 4 minutes now. Maybe with him there is a possibility of that legend resurfacing?" Her husbands eyes went wide. "Whoa honey you have got to be crazy. Sure he is very talented and monstrous being, but achieving the Mystic Transcendent Soul stage is beyond anyone in this era. Not even your father was able to step into that door!" The Mystic Blade Empress frowned clearly not happy. But her hope was there, she picked Sin as her disciple because of his boundless potentials. But maybe she was being too hopeful. Back in the Mystic Blade World, Sin had begun his slaughter all over again. Sin had been able to integrate the White Nebula with his sword techniques, bringing a further destructive and mind blowing effect. Twelve hours has passed leaving him with 1 full day left. Sin had managed to gather 90,000/100,000 Sword Heart Fragments. Sin had emptied the majority of the Mystic Blade World, now there was 1 final clone left. Sin sat cross-legged for 1 full hour, bringing himself back to his very tip top peak condition.This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. Getting up and walking over picking up a random Sword, Sins new foe had entered the battlefield. Name: Mystic Blade Spirit Emperor Puppet Title: Blood Dragon Sword Methods Conqueror Level: 55 Health: 1,250,000 Mana: 1,250,000 Strength: 400 Intelligence: 400 Dexterity: 500 Agility: 500 This Spirit Emperor Puppet truly frightened Sin, there were 23 hours left, and there were 14 clones left. Not only that, Sins very foundation felt challenged and threatened. His most prized techniques had one day come to bite himself in the ass. This was a Conqueror stage practitioner! Sin was sweating heavily, but beyond most of all. His fighting spirit had been ignited like none before. Not even fighting Alarune, or Glaze had brought him this much excitement! The voice of a conqueror issued out. "Draw your weapon and fight me with all you got! Why are you looking at my stats you little punk!? Haven''t you always been slaughtering enemies of higher rank with your abilities and combat sense!? Show me what you have got!" Sin launched off the ground leaving a deep crater. Sin and the Spirit Emperor Puppet clashed weapons, Sins and the Spirit Emperor reacted at the same time. Both of their legs smashed into each other in the air forming a X with a loud "Thud!" Meeting fist with fist both man and puppet were raining blows into each others bodies. Sin twisted his body, wrapping his right arm around the puppets arm, Sin kneed upwards onto the arm issuing a loud "Snap!" The puppets remaining fist launched itself into Sins gut, sending Sin over 1,500 meters into the air. Launching itself off the ground, Sin regained his balance. Bouncing off the air both clashed with their weapons, sending a massive shockwave throughout the entire Mystic Blade World. Even outside of the crystal ball, the tea set, table, and courtyard had been disarrayed from the ferocious shockwave. Both man and puppet struck at each others sequence structures at the same time. Both looked at each other with insanity in their eyes. Both men roared into the sky. "PULL THE TRIGGER MOTHER FUCKER!" Blood guts and armour fell from the sky as both were left with gaping holes in their body. Flashing forward once again both man and puppet punched each other viciously into the face. The Spirit Emperor Puppet activated [Heart Severing Diagram] from the Heart path. A giant diagram formed around Sins body trapping him. Sin felt like his heart was about to blow up within his body. His heartbeat increased to rapid speeds, nearly about to burst out from his chest. Sin heaved blood as he felt the threat of death approaching him. Entering into the Mystic Unity state. Sin raised his weapon high up into the air, his weapon blazed with Phoenix Queen Sacred Flame, and the mystic energy in his body roared out enhancing the Sacred Flame further. Slashing downwards imposing his weapon as if it were Mount Olympus crashing upon the mortal world. Sin yelled with all his might. [Impose: World Rending Annihilation!] Sin cut through the Heart Severing Diagram, a bright mystic beam of Phoenix Queen Sacred Flame was seen as the void of the Mystic Blade World was cut open. The strike was like tribulation thunder, merciless with the only goal to strike down who defies it! The Spirit Emperor Puppet roared as it combined all 6 paths of the Blood Dragon Sword Method. Its body lit up with the elements taking shape into a rainbow coloured combat suit. The Spirit Emperor Puppet charged forward unleashing all the killing intent in its body. [Tartarus Impalement!] Both techniques boomed as the mountains in the Mystic Blade World were sliced in half from the shockwave. Both man and puppet were flung backwards like kites with their strings cut. Sins entire body from head to toe was covered in blood, there was now another massive gaping hole through his abdomen. The Spirit Emperor Puppet wasn''t doing any better, its entire armour and carapace had shattered into thousands of pieces. It was also weakly staring back at Sin. "I will NOT be defeated!" The Spirit Emperor Puppet rushed at Sin once again. "I will KILL you!" Sin bellowed once again igniting into a inferno. Sin threw his sword from his left hand to right hand. Sacrificing his left arm, Sins body spinned 360 degrees in a side flip. Sins entire body was downwards, his lower body was faced upwards and lower body downwards. With his face meeting the face of the Spirit Emperor Puppet he said two simple words. "Fuck You!" Sins right arm was imbued with his full 4,000 points of Mana. With his hand on the shaft of his weapon, the blade flew out of it with insane speed cleaving the entire sky open. [Illusionary Sword Third Form: Lightning Column Devastation!] A penta layered column of light blades formed surrounding Sin and the Spirit Emperor Puppet. The blades as if on a vibrating string all aimed downwards, Sin smashed his fist into the bare chest of the Spirit Emperor Puppet. With his right arm locking the Spirit Emperors Puppets neck, Sin used all his might to hold the opponent in position. "Let''s see which one of is tougher. Your carapace or my fleshly body!" Hundreds of blades rained down piercing through both Sin and the Spirit Emperor Puppet. The final blade Sin left a trick, he imbued his Sky, Water, Fire, Soul path into it. When it formed it looked like a celestial blade descending from the immortals realm. The Spirit Emperor Puppet smashed its elbow repeatedly into the remaining of Sins abdomen. But Sin was like a magnet attached to its body, the blade propelled itself downwards racing towards Sin and the Puppet. Sin yelled loudly before the blade tore through himself and the puppet. [Four Paths Vanquishers Blade!] As the blade descended Sin ruthlessly sacrificed his right leg. Locking the Spirit Emperor Puppet in place, Sin flashed up to the handle of the Four Paths Vanquishers Blade. With his remaining arm engulfed in Phoenix Queen, Sin punched down on the blade with all his body weight and power. With his body weight added into the mix, Sins punch was like fiery lava. When it landed, it felt as if Sin had opened up a new gate. Quickly summoning his remaining Mana to protect his severed leg. Sin quickly unsheathed his Soul Weapon. Once again putting all his body weight, rotating his core and entire being. Sin slashed down, his ferocious strength formed a flood dragon as it clashed into the Four Paths Vanquishers Blade. The Four Paths Vanquishers Blade was hit with 2 of Sins sudden insight. Smashing into the Spirit Emperor Puppet like a 20 tonne truck. The blade easily pierced the Spirit Emperor Puppets body. Shooting downwards towards the ground. A magnificent explosion was created. The entire world rocked back and forth as if Armageddon was happening. The Mystic Blade Empresses crystal ball showed signs of cracks appearing on its surface. This relic of hers was a Divine ranked artifact, with a artificial world inside of it. The toughness of it you could imagine, thus Sins new insight and full powered last technique was truly monstrous! It took over 10 minutes for the dust, and rubble to stop flying around like bats out of hell. Sin admired the aftermath of his new insight and last technique. The Mystic Emperor Puppet was blasted into thousands of pieces. Sin had gained his reward. [Congratulations! You have completed a task that was deemed unbelievable to achieve at your current strength.] [Reward: 10,000 Sword Heart Fragments. +25 all stats, +10 Physique, +10 Comprehension.] [Evaluation: SSS Rank. Rewards: 25,000,000 Experience Points, 450,000 Merit Points, +500 Phoenix, Vermilion Bird, Wolf Scales] [Congratulations! You have leveled up through levels 11, 12, 13.] [You have gained 60 Status Points] [The Mystic Blade Spirit Emperor Puppet has senses the fledgling Spirit in your Soul Weapon. It would like to merge with your weapon, increasing the grade of you Soul Weapons Spirit. Do you accept?] Sin unhesitatingly clicked on the "Yes" The moment he did, the soul of the Mystic Blade Spirit Emperor Puppet appeared. It was a wandering spirit now. Despite being so, it bowed with respect in front of Sin before its voice transmitted to Sin. "Thank you for the exhilarating fight. Now I will become a part of your power and serve you to the best of my capabilities." Sins Soul Weapon floated up to the Mystic Blade Spirit Emperor Puppet. A blackhole formed as the weapon engulfed the soul. Sins weapon began a earth shattering change, its blade had grown 5 inches in length, 3 inches in thickness and gained 35 kilograms in weight. The Soul Weapon had a golden red sheath, with the word "Emperor" engraved in it and blue white mystic energy fluctuating. The blade itself turned to the colour of a pale blue sky, and flowing white clouds. Sin unsheathed his Soul Weapon, giving it a casual swing a spatial tear appeared in the Mystic Blade World. Sin was exhilarated, this was a Big Fucking Sword! As if a kid in a candy shop, Sin kept slashing, stabbing, piercing, swiping and so on with his upgraded Soul Weapon. The best had yet to come, when Sin made a connection with his Soul Weapon. He felt the existence of Weapon Spirit residing within. The Weapon Spirit looked at Sin with eyes full of gratitude. "Father thank you for giving birth to me through your Sword Qi. Even when you had gained better quality weapons, you never abandoned me." The spirit was a little boy adorned in a white blue robe, there was a Emperor symbol on his forehead. Within the symbol, Sin could see a legendary weapon in the middle of a battlefield with numerous corpses. Sin smiled "Would you like a name son?" The spirit looked at Sin puzzled, but nodded its head with hard to conceal excitement. Sin ruffled the spirits hair out of habit, but realized his hand went through the spirit. Covering up his embarrassment, Sin decided on a ''good'' name that even he was proud of. "From today your name will be Kaiser! You will be the emperor or blades, every blade will heed your beck and call. No blade, or sentient blade will dare disservice it''s emperor!" Kaiser floated up in excitement and jubilation. "Thank you for the name father." Sin summoned his Weapon Spirit outside of his upgraded Soul Weapon. Counting the time left, there were still 22 hours of time left. "Kaiser, are you ready to consolidate some enlightenment during our previous fight?" "Yes father!" Kaisers eyes were full of excitement. Sin unsheathed his Soul Weapon. With the added weight of the weapon, Sins body weight and momentum. This new unnamed technique will be many times stronger than It was beforehand. Sin slashed down, a pillar of Sword Light formed tearing open the Mystic Blade World. Before slashing again, the world healed itself within seconds. Sin rinsed and repeated the same process. While it may be boring, Sin was grasping his enlightenment not letting it go to waste. If he spoiled his chance, who knew when it would come next? Volume 2 Chapter 17 Mystic Blade Disciple Time flew by like running water, within but mere seconds 22 hours had vanished. Sin was so engrossed in his enlightenment, he wasn''t aware of being transported out of the Mystic Blade World. Instead the Mystic Blade Empress put him into big auto healing training ground, here Sin could wreak all the havoc and devastation he wanted to without any cause of concern. After another day passed Sin had finally achieved the perfect state. Sins Mystic Unity, Sword Qi and Mana perfectly united into a single entity with Kaiser. Raising his Soul Weapon up into the air, Sin slashed down with terrifying might. The entire training ground was cleaved in half, the spatial nodes in the surrounding area were cut through. Thunder boomed so loud, it rocked over 25,000 kilometers of the Grand Warrior Trials. The shockwaves sent out was so domineering, trees, rocks, mountains, rivers were completely devastated. Sin had regained his clarity, and a smile was on his face. He was on a fucking roll lately! Sin had found the perfect name for this new technique, naming it [Thunder Lords Descent!] Sin did a mental count, he had about 35 hours of time left. Which means Alannah must be hating her papa right about now. Sin hadn''t cooked any ''yummy'' food in so long, he was sure to be on the shit list. It had been 8 days in total so far, and he had yet to achieve his goal of killing the Dragon King. After coming out of his thoughts, Sin had seen the Mystic Blade Empress. Sin kowtowed paying his respects to her. "Thank you master for this trial. It had pushed me beyond my limits in many ways, and it had cleared my mindset of looking at stats to determine how strong someone/something is." The Mystic Blade Empress smiled, she raised her hand bringing Sin back to his feet. "You have yet to receive your full reward. You have yet to become the Mystic Blade Disciple class, unless of course you feel you no longer need it?" Sins eyes widened. "I NEED it!" he shouted, after getting a taste of the Mystic Soul, and Mystic Unity states as well as his Mystic Sorcery ability White Nebula. Sin was craving to have such a bad ass class! It was like being the ultimate hidden class, that surpassed legacy classes in MMORPGS! How could any man/women give up that desire for such an achievement? The Mystic Blade Empress smiled widely. "Well then come here my disciple, master is going to give you the class as well as many boons. You have earned all that you are getting from me, while you''re my first and ONLY disciple, I will not spoil you. But you do need to be rewarded for your monstrous growth and capabilities." Sin walked over to his master, as he got close her right hand was placed on his heart, and left hand was placed on his forehead. Her hands were radiating white-blue plasma, the energy was soft but Sin could feel the destructive force behind it. If this was only the first step along his class, he was more than eager for the next stages! The aura wrapped around Sin, his body was absorbing the white-blue plasma at breakneck speeds. Shortly after a cocoon of plasma had wrapped itself around Sins body. Inside Sin was going through excruciating pain that nearly made him yelp. His body was being decomposed and recomposed, the visual was gory watching his own flesh burst off his body. His muscles, veins, organs rupture and then heal at the same time. This process repeated itself for 8 hours, but felt more like a lifetime to Sin. Mystic Blade Empress was staring in complete and utter shock, Sins body had devoured all the energy. She even had to refuel up and recharge her plasma cocoon 6 times within the last 8 hours. She herself was drained, just from helping her disciple achieve his class. But she was filled with pride, affection, and motherly instinct towards Sin. It felt like she was raising her own son to become a monstrous existence. Sins process had finally stopped, and his body felt like he had just chugged down 40 Killer Grape energy drinks. After emerging from the cocoon, Sins body had white-blue plasma energy sparking around his body. Sins hair had raised like a porcupine, while his eyes had become a blue-white tint. Sins logs were now waiting for his appraisal. [Congratulations! You have inherited the Mystic Blade Disciple Class!] [Congratulations!

[You have inherited the Mystic Clarity Sacred Flame. Sacred Flame Tier 5] Sin decided after reading all his notifications, it was once again time to go through his status page, before that however, Sin looked up to the sky with his fist raised muttering underneath his breath. "Get your shit together author, how long has it been since the last status update!?" Level: 13 Name: Sin Class: Mystic Blade Disciple Profession: Mystic Soul RefinerThis tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Age: 23 Gender: Male Race: Human Race rating: 100 Health: 14,350 Mana: 14,050 Strength: 215 Intelligence: 196 Dexterity: 227 Agility: 245 Physique: 125 Comprehension: 100 Intermediate Destructive Body Merit Points, 1,875,000 Sin whistled. "That''s what I am fucking talking about baby!" The Mystic Blade Empress stared at her disciple in shock. "Disciple are you sure you''re okay?" She asked with a questioning gaze as if Sin were retarded. Sin recomposed himself. "Sorry master, I was just super pumped up after looking over my stats." The Mystic Blade Empress had a knowing smile on her face. "Alright, well you have 27 hours left. You better go down and see you daughter, don''t forget your unresolved grudge either!" Before Sin had the chance to ask more about his class and profession, his master had already kicked him in the ass launching him downwards. Before Sin was about to crash into the earth below, he instinctively went into Soul Unity, just as his feet touched the ground Sin used the rebounding force to hop backwards over 50 steps. Looking up hatefully at his masters palace he yelled "That was unethical master! You''re going to be the reason why I die!" A giant blue-white fist showed itself in front of Sin, out of fear he covered his head and ducked as close to the ground as he could. After he realized a few moments later he wasn''t smacked around, Sin looked up what he saw made steam billow out his ears. His master had just flipped him off while her playful laughter sounded out aloud. Before he could yell back up in frustration, Sin decided to be a smart man and stop what was about to come out of his mouth. While he was still thinking a multitude of curses, and hate crimes against his master he heard a little girls voice he missed dearly over this period of time. "Papa papa papa papa!" Alannah came running towards his direction leaving a massive dust trail behind her. From 600 feet away, Alannah launched herself into Sins embrace. Sin caught her like a football before heaving her over his head and spinning around in circles. "There''s my girl, were you good for your auntie Ari?" Alannah was all smiles, with the purest smile on her face. "Of course I was good for auntie Ari!" Then Ariya appeared shortly after, she had heavy bags under her eyes and looked mentally disarrayed. Sin seeing this looked at Alannah, and then he look at Ariya back and forth many times. "Are you lying to your papa?" Sin asked questioningly. Hearing her papa''s tone Alannah pouted. "Forget that! Papa is finally back to make yummy food again! Auntie Ari sucks at cooking papa, she made me eat so many yucky foods!" Tears were practically flowing out of Alannahs eyes at the ''torture'' she had to suffer through. Ariya had just arrived and overheard this, her eyes turned slightly hateful. She looked at Sin, and then the ''peaceful'' Alannah in his embrace saying a single word with traces of fear. "Monster!" Sin smiled "Alright it''s been a long 8 days, let''s go and eat some yummy food!" Alannah was the most enthusiastic about it, her cheers were louder than thunder. "Papas making yummy food! Hooray for papa!" Sin returned to their camp and began cooking, the entire time Alannah was sitting on Sins shoulders drooling profusely. Sin was all smiles the entire time, he missed having his little girl on his shoulders. Reiya was studying Sin the entire time, ever since meeting up with Sin for the first time in 8 days. Reiya felt the aura Sin was radiating unconsciously was suffocating. Sin was already a monstrous existence, it just went to further prove how much stronger Sin is now. To the point he can''t fully conceal the excess aura leaking from his body. Alannahs stomach was rumbling, Sin took out a plate and gave her some snacks to munch on before supper was ready. Sin made a simple shrimp stir fry for supper. After giving Alannah her plate of food, she took her first bite and tears of joy came out of her eyes. After swallowing it she was more than happy. "Papas cooking is so good!" Tears continued to stream from Alannahs eyes the more she ate. After everyone was done eating, Sin washed up the dishes. After that Alannah came bouncing over to Sin. "Papa is so much stronger now! Papa come chase me and play tag!" Alannah got a head start running ahead, Sin smiled and began chasing after her. "The big bad papa is gonna get his little girl!" Alannahs laughter was sounding out, Ariya was watching this scene of father and daughter chasing after each other. Both were moving so fast, it was like watching mirrored images of each other interweaving and dodging. Alannah was frustrated the entire time. "Papa that''s no fair! Your white-blue eyes are giving away my trajectories!" Sin was smiling as wide as possible. "Forget about that my daughter, try harder! Let your subconscious expand outside of your body. Focus your consciousness not on me, but the flow of my Mana!" Alannah took her papas advice to heart, while Sin was under extreme pressure to get the feeling for his Mystic Soul state. Alannah was merely playing a simple game of tag with Sin, while learning three times faster than he did. After 45 minutes, Alannahs eyes erupted with white-blue aura, her eyes became lifeless as her body followed Sins Mana traces. After about 15 minutes Alannah started complaining. "Papa my head hurts! There''s too much environmental and particle movements, this is unfair!" Sin stopped and went to pat her head, then he realized he was tricked and Alannah tagged his arm. Alannah stuck her tongue out at Sin and loudly said "Psych!" Sin smiled lovingly before yelling out to Alannah "Come here you little cheater, papas gonna get you!" Sin was finding it hard to tag Alannah now, she was truly a little monster. No matter how he operated in the first stage, there was no way of getting Alannah. Seeing this, Alannah was starting to get bold. "Come on papa you slowpoke! You''ll never get me at this rate!" Sin combined both his consciousness and subconscious together. His aura immediately underwent a change, Alannah sensed it immediately when she tried to apologize, Sin had already picked her up from behind and started tickling Alannah. Alannahs laughter sounded out. "Hey that''s not fair, you cheated this time papa!" Sin smiled "That''s right Alannah, two people cheating doesn''t make it right." Alannah pouted but nonetheless she was still happy. Ariya who was watching this all unfold was hit with a wave of emotion. She started seeing the image of Sirius overlap Sins, while Alannah had been Reiya playing tag with her father. Ariya truly felt guilty and sad, but what was done was already done. Reiya turned out to be a fine women, even without having a father figure in her life. This much brought a smile to Ariyas face. Before returning back to the camp, Sin filled a big black pot full of water. After getting back to camp, Sin took out some wooden planks, stabbing them into the ground in a circular shape. After that he took out a bunch of dark coloured curtains, hanging it up with loops on the circular rod connected to the wooden planks. Sin heated the water up up to a moderately warm/cool temperature, calling Alannah over she dipped her finger into it before saying "Perfect!" Sin lifted Alannah up and over into the pot full of water, After splashing water at each other for a long time. Alannah was starting to doze off, Sin took her out of the makeshift bath, drying and dressing her. Carrying Alannah back into the tent, Sin tucked her into bed goodnight. Alannah wrapped her arms and wings around Sins neck giving him a big hug. "Goodnight papa I love you!" Sin hugged Alannah giving her a kiss on her forehead. "Goodnight my little angel, you sleep good. Papa will make a yummy breakfast tomorrow morning" Sin lovingly ruffled Alannahs hair before leaving the tent. Soon Alannah drifted off into the dreamland with a smile on her face. After leaving the tent, Sin walked over to Ariya. Whispering into her ear. "I am sorry to ask this of you, but can you watch over Alannah for tonight?" Ariya wasn''t mad at this, but she looked into Sins eyes and asked. "Are you claiming your debt with the Dragon King?" Sin nodded his head. "Yes I am going to kill the Dragon King tonight. You two have gained plenty of points over these last 8 days. It''s time I make up for my lazy bones, and get a hearty reward of points from killing the Dragon King." Ariya looked at Sin with eyes full of tender emotion. "You be careful out there, Alannah was so heartbroken about you not being there in the mornings when she woke up." Sin smiled. "Don''t worry, with my current condition I can easily bulldoze snakey snake." After that Sins figure vanished into the night sky. Alannahs eyes widened up the moment her papas aura vanished. Her eyes revealed a sad look, but remembering her papas promise, she went back to sleep eagerly waiting for tomorrow mornings yummy breakfast. Volume 2 Chapter 18 Killing The Dragon King Before Sins group separated with the Dragon King, Sin had placed a Mana tracker on his body. During his trial, Sin was worried about the Dragon King detecting it. Thankfully he didn''t, now Sin was making a beeline directly towards the Dragon King. After noiselessly killing 30 Dimensional Beasts, and other race warriors Sin arrived at his destination. Sin took out a pair of Mana enhanced binoculars. The Dragon King was in a group of race mixed warriors. The most predominant person there was a Water Nymph. While this one wasn''t nearly as strong as Kyaku, sneezing at it would be Sins biggest mistake. Sin put away his binoculars, spreading his subconsciousness out of his body. There was no one else within the following 400 meter perimeter. Sin decisively made his decision, and now he was off to the races. Appearing in the middle of the group, Sin stabbed out both index and middle fingers with his arms spread out. Two giant white-blue spheres engulfed the entire team. The Dragon King and Water Nymph were the fastest to react, thus they were the only ones to survive. [Mystic Sorcery: White Nebula!] Sin had a smirk on his face. "Oh golly, did little ol'' me do that? I hope you can accept my most humblest beatings..... I mean apologies." The Dragon King was in a rage. "How fucking dare you kill my team members!" Sin whistled. "Well your teammates just gave me 8,450 points. What were there names? I should thank them for their contributions. Mind you, I guess corpses don''t need my thanks." Sin flashed arriving in front of the Water Nymph. 8,500 points of Mana surged out as a a 4 meter cage trapped the Water Nymph within. [Mystic Sorcery: Blank Prison!] Within the prison, there was nothing. It was just a blank space the Water Nymph was trapped within. However, the deadly part was the constant decrease in oxygen. Sin also left a ''present'' emitting odorless poisons of various kinds. Sin turned and looked at the Dragon King. "Ohhhh Snakey snake, I have come to collect the debt. Your the reason why the Wolf God Clan was kicked out of the capital city. It''s time to regain our clans honour back with a vengeance!" Sins eyes turned murderous. "However, I dont want you to die and blame me for bullying you. So for the first 3 attacks I will stand here and do nothing. You better make this count Snakey snake. There won''t be a second chance." The Dragon Kings face turned beet red. "Who the fuck do you think you are to look down on me? I am gonna fuck you u-" Sin smiled. "I''m your daddy!" And the Dragon King took exception to that. The Dragon King vanished, reappearing in front of Sin punching out with all his might. [Flood Dragon Fist!] Flood dragons shot out of the Dragon Kings fist. They charged out with their gaping mouths. Sin stood where he was covering his yawn with his own hand. The flood dragons all started to attack Sin in various manners, after three minutes they exhausted themselves and disappeared. Just as the Dragon Kings face revealed a confident smile, he heard Sins voice. "You now have 2 chances left!" Sin stood exactly where he was, no sign of damage was visible on him. The only change was his hair now being wet from slobber, for some odd reason Sin believed the flood dragons to have fetishes for heads. Weird right? The Dragon King unsheathed his prized weapon. Putting all his Mana and Sword Qi into his weapon, he slashed down with every fiber of his being. A wave of Sword Qi and roaring Mana surged out forming a 300 meter tidal wave. [Dragons Roaring Sea!] The tidal wave crashed into Sins body head on. After the Sword Qi and Mana dispersed. Sins body was drenched head to toe. Sin shook his body like a dog, after that a flame engulfed his body making him completely dry. "Damn I forgot to take out shampoo and soap. You should''ve told me you were going to give me a free shower. Water is fucking expensive where I live." Sins eyes then regained their murderous look. "You now have 1 chance left, make it count!" The Dragon King was starting to sweat. All his attacks so far had done nothing to Sin, neither of them were by any means weak. Both abilities used were of Grand Master rating, theoretically Sin should''ve taken some form of damage. Sins mocking voice was heard again. "Are you done thinking about how bad ass I am? have you given up yet?" This time the Dragon Kings aura exploded. His aura blasted out of of his body, a silhouette of an Azure Dragon formed hovering above the Dragon King. Dragon scales covered the Dragon Kings body, his hands became claws, a pair of wings sprouted from his back, one big 4 meter horn sprouted with arcs of flowing red electricity. The Dragon Kings body glowed an Azure light. Sins eyes raised this time. "Well dont you feel intimidating now?" The Dragon King gathered all his essence from his Dragonification. Using his own essence blood, and sacrificing 5 years of life for a tremendous power surge. The Dragon Kings aura spiked once again, Sin was starting to feel some discomfort, similar to a annoying mosquito buzzing around your ear. Seeing the still calm look on Sins face. The Dragon Kings mentality was being pulled in 3 separate directions. "Let''s see how much longer you can remain cocky like that you stupid mangy mutt!" Sin smiled as he watched the Dragon King rush at him with overwhelming aura. A tear in the sky formed as a dragon claw smashed down on top of Sin. After that the Dragon King gathered all his power into his palms. After his palms started emitting plasma sparks of steel blue colour. The Dragon King smashed both his palms out onto the dragon claw. [Elder Dragons Rioting Vortex!] A massive ball of Mana erupted, blowing the dragon claw up and expanding to become 4 kilometers in size before swelling and blowing up into many light particles. There was a 400 meter deep crater left in its wake, steam was billowing out like a heavy fog hiding the area behind it. After it cooled off, a figure was shown standing within. Sins Mana rushed out of his body pushing all of the steam away. When his figure was revealed, the Dragon Kings eyes shot out of their sockets. His mentality had finally cracked, the Dragon King roared in disbelief and fury. "That is impossible! How the hell are you still standing there in one piece, I gave everything I had in those 3 attacks! I refuse to believe it, a young mutt like you who has just stopped sucking on his mothers nipples cannot possibly survive my attacks head on!" Sins voice echoed out. "That makes up your three chance, prepare yourself snakey snake." Sin leaped shooting forward like a rocket at maximum speed towards the Dragon King. When the Dragon King had sensed Sin within his sphere of influence, he struck out with his dragon claws. Sin ducked underneath, flipping his body over. With his left hand grabbing the back of the Dragon Kings head, Sin thrusted it downwards smashing his knee into the Dragon Kings nose. The Dragon King hatefully punched Sins face, however, his fist was caught by Sins open palm. Sin vibrated his arm with uncontrollable force, all the nerves in the Dragon Kings arm went numb, giving him the pins and needles feeling. Sins legs crossed around the Dragon Kings head in a X formation. With his hands on the ground, Sin activated his core strength, throwing the Dragon King downwards with minimal effort. After that Sin flipped upwards with a white-blue plasma current circulating around his index and middle fingers. Touching the Dragon Kings left breast with his fingers, a white-blue condensed aura beam shot out, piercing through his chest before expanding into a ball of white-blue plasma. [Mystic Sorcery: White Nebula!] Sins body was caught in the crossfire of his own attack, no damage was done, except for his long hair which now stood up on end.Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. The Dragon King flashed out, all of his dragon scales had been ripped open. Blood was flowing from hundreds of wounds across his body, making the Dragon King a literal blood man now. The Dragon King was now heaving violently, his eyes were bloodshot. "This is impossible! Only 8 days have passed at most. How have you become so fucking strong in a mere eight days!?" Insanity was seen within the Dragon Kings bloodshot eyes, he could have easily killed Sin eight days ago. But now, Sin was like a parent slapping their childs hand when they did something bad multiple times without learning their lesson. Sins mocking voice echoed out. "Woah Snakey snake, you gotta calm down brother. Take it easy boy, this fight is no fun if you lose your cool. It would make killing you easier and less fun for me to be quite frank." The Dragon King gathered his remaining Mana and made his escape. Sin watching this smiled. "Ooooh a game of cat and mouse, I think this will be fun!" Sin flashed forward, appearing to the Dragon Kings right slide. Pushing out with his palm, he sent the Dragon King flying backwards like a rocket. Sin shouted "Tag your it!" while back stepping, twisting his body in many awkward positions dodging all the attacks coming at him. Sin ducked underneath the fist coming at him, jabbing his elbow out smashing into the Dragon Kings chest a loud ''Crunch!'' was heard. Sin turned his back facing the dragon king, sweeping his leg up backwards smashing the Dragon Kings testicles. ''Plop!'' The Dragon King came back to his senses, then absolute fury, and anguish took over as he covered his genitalia bending over. Blood was flowing out from his hands like a cascading waterfall. Sin seeing this even shrieked a little bit. "Man I feel your pain Snakey snake. Let me help you relieve yourself from that anguish." Sins right hand erupted as a white-blue plasma blade formed over top his hand. Just as he was about to send the Dragon Kings head flying. A baleful demonic aura erupted covering his body. The aura was a purple-black colour, Sin heard multitudes of cracks, snaps, and crunches emit from within the aura veil. Sin felt the rising death aura and was slightly surprised. But then raging fighting spirit was unleashed from his body. "Who would have guessed it, the Dragon King had become the Demons bitch. AND now he has a transformation? Hopefully this one won''t disappoint me." The Dragon King felt the raging fighting spirit emitting from Sin, further pushing the demonic bloodline inside of his body. The Dragon King was going all out, he sacrificed his remaining life span. This in turn activated the second evolution of the Demonic bloodline. The aura tripled, and the powerful energy waves blasted Sin more than 300 meters away. Sins eyes were determined, no fear could be seen within. There was only pure and raw fighting spirit! After 5 minutes the Dragon Kings figure was shown. He had many ghastly poisonous spikes sticking out of his body. There was a midnight black carapace around his entire body. The pupils in his eyes separated from the actual eye, there were three magnificent horns sprouting from his forehead. He had purple bat wings sprouted from his back, there was a baleful purple-black plasma aura radiating off of his body. There was a giant Great Sword in the Dragon Kings hands now. A skull of a high rank demon was the guard, while the Great Sword was emitting a blood red aura. Screams and wails were emitting from it. After that a weapon spirit floated out, staring hungrily at Sin. The Dragon Kings heavy voice echoed out. "You pushed me to this extent! Even though I will die after this transformation is over, I will bring you to hell with me!" The demonic Dragon King shot forward, Sin met punch for punch as both were shot back skidding in a equal match of power. Sin flew forward while both man and now Demon were accepting punch for punch. They were moving so fast, mirror images were circling the entire battlefield. Sin had earned a knee to his guts, making him empty the contents of his stomach. Sin clenched his fist and his bones made a hearty crunch. Sins body twisted on a 45 degree, using the rotating force from his core, Sins fist flew out smashing into the Dragon Kings carapace. Cracks began to form as Sins Mystic Energy began flooding into the Dragon Kings body. This caused extreme pain for the Dragon King, the Mystic Energy was one of extreme peace and holiness. While his Demonic Energy was one of extreme death and unholy attribute. Sin and the Dragon Kings legs met in mid air forming a X. Sin used the explosive force to rotate his body, clenching his hand into a fist, Sin backhanded the Dragon Kings face launching him skidding backwards. The Dragon King spit out multiple teeth. While his eyes showed exhilaration. "Yes this is the kind of fight I want to die fighting! Come at me with everything you got Wolf King!" Both of them flashed as their weapons clashed against each other, the earth below cracked as dust floated upwards before being blasted away by the shockwave. Both had slashed out over 300 times in 2 seconds. Sword light and mirror images danced around the battle field, the overwhelming Sword Qi had attracted many peoples attention. Sins Sword Aura erupted as he sheathed Kaiser, putting one hand on his hilt, and the other on the sheathe. Sins weapon flew out of the sheathe at breakneck speeds [Illusionary Sword Second Form: Void Breaker!] The dimension cracked as the boundless pressure from the void descended onto the Dragon Kings body. After it''s pressure had reached its peak, the void cracked like a mirror before completely shattering. The Dragon Kings scream of pain sounded out as blood splashed out into multiple directions. Many unknown races had appeared and were now eagerly watching the fight below. One group in particular were exasperated. The Dragon King had revealed his Demonic bloodline, pissing off their leader. "Humph what trash! He can''t even handle a lowly human." The Dragon Kings Sword Qi flared, slashing out his weapon in midair forming a river of sharp Sword Qi. [Dragon Kings Torrential Flood!] Sins Sword Qi erupted, raising his weapon high up into the air. Combining himself with his Soul Weapon, Sin slashed down cutting through the Dragon Kings attack like a hot knife through butter. [Thunder Lords Descent!] Sin blasted the Dragon King skidding backwards, with blood leaking from the side of his lips. Sin flashed forward, holding his blade parallel to the ground. After arriving at the front of the Dragon King, Sins weapon flashed out forming a lotus of Sword Qi. The Lotus had opened up with the Sword Qi raging. [Blood Dragon Sword Method: Blooming Lotus!] Sin gathered all of the Water essence within the surrounding area, a river of Sword Qi formed with Sin and the Dragon King at the center of the river. [Blood Dragons Water Path: Flowing Blades!] Multiple water blades of Sword Qi swarmed out, sparks were flying off both of Sins and the Dragon Kings armour/carapace. Many of the Water blades had broken through the Dragon Kings carapace, adding multiple more injuries to him. The Dragon King swiped his Great Sword out, Sin twisted his blade sideways then swiped it upwards deflecting the Dragon Kings Great Sword. Sin held Kaisers hilt with both hands, leaning his body forward with the blade pointed. Sin flashed forward with his blade ripping through the Dragon Kings breast. Sin put his leg in-between the Dragon Kings leg. Sin body checked the Dragon King, unbalancing the Dragon King and dropping him to the ground. Sin gathered all of his Sword Qi at the tip of Kaisers blade tip, he stabbed downwards piercing through the Dragon Kings stomach, a giant white-blue cross of Mystic Energy appeared in the sky. [Blood Dragons Mystic Sanctuary Cross!] Sin shot backwards, as he waited for the dust storm to blow over. The Dragon King was bleeding profusely and was starting to weaken. His life force was depleting quickly. With eyes full of resolution, the Dragon King combined all of his remaining power into his Great Sword. The Great Sword had chimed in excitement, as a purple-black flame billowed out of it. A giant purple-black skull of flames emitting Death Qi erupted behind the Dragon King, the Dragon Kings Aura was like a skyscraper piercing into the sky. All the beings in the Grand Warrior Trials Asura Realm were able to see it from over 40 miles away. "Wolf King let''s end this here and now!" The Dragon Kings voice bellowed as his voice was no longer full of hatred, but one of resolution and fighting spirit, Sins fighting spirit flared, white-blue plasma sparked around his body. Sins Aura also rocketed piercing through the sky, a white-blue skull of Mystic Energy, Mana, and Sword Qi formed behind Sin. Sins Mana and Sword Qi raged covering his Soul Weapon. The blade spirit Kaiser floated behind, combining his own aura with Sins Sword Qi. Sin imposed his will onto the Soul Weapon, making it as heavy as a 10,000 tonne mountain. Sin and the Dragon King launched their selves at each other like mirrored images of each other. The two Aura skulls in midair clashed with each other, Sin and the Dragon King slashed their weapons down onto each other with all their might. [Demonic Blade Of Abyssal Penitence!] [Impose: World Rending Annihilation!] Both weapons clashed in the center, the earth quaked, the sky trembled. A massive shockwave billowed out, blowing away over 12,000 uninvited guests who were currently watching the fight. The void in the surrounding 25 miles had been partially torn open, Sin and the Dragon Kings Aura raged fighting against each other in the sky desperate to devour the other. "GREYARGH!!!!!!!!!!" "AWOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Both the roars of a furious Wolf and Dragon resounded out. Both men had met each other in a stalemate, their Auras raged, the weapons were emitting sparks from the pressure each wielder was giving it their 100%. Both Sin and the Dragon King smashed their heads against each other. Sins index and middle fingers jabbed out, piercing through the Dragon Kings right breast. [Mystic Sorcery: White Nebula!] The attack consumed both of them, the Dragon Kings demonic claws tore through Sins abdomen like scissors tearing through paper. Sin diverted a portion of his attention and activated his [Four Paths Vanquishers Blade] The multi coloured blade descended from the sky with overwhelming Sword Qi. Shooting downwards it enveloped both Sin and the Dragon King in the blast radius. After Sin split his attention for merely seconds, the Dragon King nearly took control of their power struggle. Luckily the Four Paths Vanquishers Blade kept the power struggle in check. The Dragon Kings life was depleting faster, Sin was starting to take over the advantage. The Dragon King knew he couldn''t last much longer. The Dragon King secretly transmitted his voice to Sin via his Mana. "I know I have become a puppet of the Demons. But when I die, can you do me the honours of burying me beside the grave of my wife? My wife''s death consumed me, and it was easy to vent my anger and hatred towards everyone else. I know it''s a lot to ask, but I would like to be with my wife together in death, even if I do go straight to hell." Sin made direct eye contact with the Dragon King. "You have my word and honour as a warrior and a fellow husband." The Dragon King smiled peacefully, he retracted his strength and Sins blade came slashing down towards his body. Sin managed to divert his blade at the last minute, cutting off the Dragon Kings right arm as his Aura overtook the Dragon King consuming him within. The massive ball of white-blue, and purple-black Aura blew up. The sky was ripped open from the aftermath, Sin was sent skidding through the dust cloud for over 500 feet. Sin had barely managed to stabilize himself by stabbing his Kaiser into the earth. When Sin had finally regained his composure again, he felt the overwhelming killing intent spike from over eight sources. Sin roared in anger seeing the scene of the Dragon Kings body blown up into chunks. "WHO THE FUCK DARES TO INTERFERE WITH MY FIGHT!" Sins fury burned, he made a promise to the Dragon King to bury him beside his wife. Now his body was imploded into pieces, and he had lost that chance. The leader of the group that previously mocked the Dragon King appeared 10 feet away in front of Sin. "Not bad for a human, despite all the attacks you received from your own abilities and the Dragon King. You''re as healthy as can be, it is truly shocking. Your body must contain many hidden secrets, when I devour you I am sure my bloodline will upgrade to the Saint grade." Sin flipped the switch in his mind, his killing Intent soared to the sky. The entire sky quaked, the earth rumbled, the wind screeched like it was armageddon. Sins eyes turned lifeless as he activated Soul Unity within a instant. Sins voice was thick with Killing Intent, the entire surrounding areas temperature dropped as if they had just entered a prison of frost. "Since you are already here, do not think about leave here alive! I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU MOTHER FUCKERS!" The leaders face changed, he had just gotten cold chills and was frightened by the threat of a mere lowly human. How could he take such a disgrace compared to his prestigious status? Volume 2 Chapter 19 Dropping Like Dead Flies Sins rage burned inside of him, his blood boiled, his entire being had become enveloped by his killing intent. The Bloody Battlefield Totem manifested appeared behind Sin. Sins long hair whipped about from the deathly wind. Spirits circled above Sin, screeching and clawing at his throat to take their vengeance. Just as one was about to sever Sins head. His hand rushed out enveloped in Phoenix Queen incinerating that hateful spirit. "I have sinned, but I have not yet atoned. It is not time for you all to attempt to take my life." Kaiser flew out of Sins sheathe, a blood red aura and mist was circling around the Sword. There was a new addition of the word "Death" and there was a skull embedded into the hilt. The surrounding 25 miles became a land covered by Sins Bloody Battlefield Totem. His killing intent had filled the land and sky. The faces of all those in its radius changed. A man came forward as the leader of the Naga race. "Please let us leave Grand Warrior, we have only come here to watch the fight. We are not involved with interfering in your fight." Sins voice sounded like the reaper cutting pieces of named string. "That''s right you are a witness here. You HAD the chance to stop them from interfering with my fight but you didn''t. You''re just as guilty as everyone else who is here. None of you will be leaving here alive today!" Sin flashed out of existence, his hand ruthlessly tore through the Naga leaders chest. Sin ripped his heart out and began eating it before the leader died. "Fucking disgusting!" Sin spit out chunks of half chewed Naga heart. Then he pointed his finger between many other people. ''Eenie meanie money mo, catch a tiger by its tail!" Sin flashed in front of the man his finger pointed at last. Heaving the man up over his shoulders, Sin ripped him in half dousing his body in blood and guts. The red aura and killing intent in the area thickened. Two new corpses were added to the Bloody Battlefield Totem. The leader that disgraced the Dragon Kings corpse appeared in front of Sin. Sin bent his body backwards, forming a bridge dodging a fatal blow. Flinging himself forward, Sin ripped off the leaders hand with his mouth. The higher race Demon screamed in pain. Sins eyes showed a euphoric look within. "Yes that''s it! Scream in pain louder, let me indulge on your fear and suffering!" Sin used [Nine Life Steps] multiple times, sending over 100 heads flying through the air in mere seconds. Sin voiced out their only ray of hope. "Whoever wishes to leave here alive may come and kneel before me!" Hundreds of figures came for their redemption. Sin however, had other plans for culling these lost sheep. Sin shot both hands out piercing through two Nagas brains. A white-blue beam shot out annihilating the Nagas before turning into two massive balls of aura killing all that kneeled before him. Seeing this many of the people gave in to their overwhelming fear "Monster! Your a mother fucking monster!" Sin slashed out with Kaiser, sending a beam of Sword Qi cutting the man in half. Tens of other race warriors charged at Sin with weapons drawn. Sin activated Mystic Unity, the battlefield appeared in his mind. Sins body reacted instinctively towards all ill intent. Sin appeared behind one man, grabbing his head and sliding Kaiser across his neck. Sin slashed a arm off the body then grabbed the corpses arm, Sin threw with all his might impaling another through the chest to the earth. Sin jabbed out with his left hands index and middle fingers, piercing through the head of a Harpy. His right arm shot put piercing through a Water Nymph head. Sins pectorals flexed as he smashed both heads together, bursting them like watermelons. Sin held his blade pointed sideways, slashing out behind himself.beheading a charging enemy. Stabbing Kaiser down through the earth, Sin heaved out a corpse of an impaled earth golem. Sin spent the next 30 minutes going on a rampage. 12,570 new corpses entered the land of his Bloody Battlefield totem. All the riff rat had been culled, now all that was left were the big shots Sin stretched his neck out to the left and right side, emitting loud snaps and pops as he rolled his shoulders a couple of times. "Playtime is over, now the rest of you can all go and join them in hell! Sin stood in place with his weapon drawn, blade towards the ground. "Which one of you bitches wants to die next!?" After killing over 12,750 people, the blood red aura around Sins body thickened. Appearing behind him were now the gates of hell, Death aura and Qi were surging out from his very being. The surrounding trees were withering away becoming ash. The remaining survivors despite their high combat power were shaking in their boots. The gates of hell were manifesting behind Sin. The merciless and bloodthirsty killings of his had shown signs of triggering a punishment. None of them dared move forward, so Sin made the first decision for himself, pointing his finger he said. "You who dares to humiliate the corpse of my enemy in front of me goes next!" Sin appeared in his face with his palm containing over 7,000 Mystic Point. Sin palmed the Demon leader in the chest, and his White Nebula engulfed the defenseless Demon leader. Sin slashed Kaiser out 75 times, deflecting every attack thrown his way. Sin held the hilt of Kaiser at his waist, and stabbed his arm out backwards, piercing through an attackers stomach.Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. Sin dropped his body to the ground, upper cutting another man in the balls. The force of the uppercut was so tremendous his body imploded from the impact Sin put both hands on the ground and sweeped his leg out. Three bodies dropped, Sin jumped off the ground spinning in mid air throwing one knife through each person''s neck. Sin drew Kaiser to his back being held sideways. The force of the blow launched Sin forward by 25 meters. Sin landed and back stepped three times to regain balance. Launching himself forward, Sin clashed with the Water Nymph leader. Sin and the Water Nymph exchanged many blows, deflecting, and parrying each other. Sin tossed Kaiser from his left hand to his right hand, spinning mid air Sin catches Kaiser before cleaving downwards with the might of a descending mountain. Sin split the Water Nymph leader in half from head to toe. Seeing this scene the remaining had sucked in a breath of cold air. Their fighting spirit had dampened, Sin as a single person, killed the strongest in their group without breaking a sweat. Many had thrown their weapons down on the ground. Whatever hope they had left, Sin had cut it down in front of their very eyes. "In your next lives, you should all remember to respect the other races and humans more." Sin stabbed Kaiser down into the ground, enveloping the remaining alive with his Phoenix Queen Flowing Array. Their bodies were incinerated as the ashes floated away in the wind. Sin sheathed Kaiser as his rage had been cooled down. Sins switch flipped off and the Bloody Battlefield Totem disappeared. After Sins massacre, the surrounding 10 miles was upturned, all the trees, vegetation and grass had withered away. Blood formed a river below from Sins little outburst. Sin had reverted back to normal, after this killing spree he had bought himself 15 days free from the urge to kill. However, the Hells gate became a physical manifestation as the punishment had yet to strike. Sin unequipped his armour, wiped off all the blood on his body then made his way back to camp. 2 hours passed since Sin originally left. ------------------------- The moment he entered Ariya could feel the thick aura of Death surrounding him. Ariya scanned him and was shocked out of her mind seeing the Hells gate floating behind him. Sin also had the same look in his eyes as the night he raided the Azure Dragon Clan. Ariya wasn''t one to judge, but Sins current state had frightened a part of her that she wasn''t even aware of. Sin occupied his spot sitting in the middle of the camp. Kaisers blood red aura and skull had disappeared. Sin closed his eyes and began rotating his refinement method. Ever since he had gained the 500 scales as his reward. The urge of a upcoming breakthrough was becoming as urgent as could be. Sin felt that if he didn''t generate his Refinement Armour Kyaku had once mentioned, he wouldn''t truly be ready to face off against the Rage Gods forces. Instead of what he would normally do, Sin began operating each section of the Diagrams within his body. As the Wolf, Phoenix and Vermilion Bird were closely tied together, the efficiency would more than triple. The Dragon Diagram would have to wait until it was unlocked before Sin could progress in it. 6 hours passed peacefully, Sin woke up at his normal time and began cooking breakfast. Alannah came out yawning as she walked over to her papa. Finally when she got a good look at Sin, she had been given a fright. The Hells Gate behind Sin was half opened, within the gate there was massive blood red eyes hungrily staring at Sin. Alannah quietly blanketed Sins body with her Mana. Sins previous midnight excursion played itself in her mind. Every being in the universe had a free will, Sin had given all of the universal laws. Sin finally took notice and saw the petrified face on Alannah, and worriedly asked. "Are you okay my little princess?" Alannah came back to herself. "Good morning papa! Breakfast smells yummy!" Alannah claimed her famous spot on top of Sins shoulders. While Sin was focused on finishing breakfast, Alannah had diverted some of her God Hood and closed the Hell''s gates. Making sure that she didn''t go against the laws too much, it had been enough time to buy Sin 9 days worth of time. After breakfast Sin calculated his points after yesterdays massacre. After the 7,500 points from the Dragon Kings Squad, and the 12,500+ guests. Sin had earned a total 42,500 points. Sin gave Alannah and Ariya both 10,000 points each. With this much, Sin was able comfortably make sure they would all be in the top 10. Sin packed up camp, before leaving to head back to their entrance point. Sin told Alannah and Ariya to wait for a couple of minutes. Sin sprouted his [Sky Wings] and flew up to outside of his masters palace. Sin kowtowed outside of the Mystic Blade Empresses palace. "Thank you for the kindness you have shown me master. I promise to become someone worthy of your inheritance." Sin flew back down to Alannah and Ariya. Just as Sin had flown away, Mystic Blade Empress looked down at her departing disciple. She sighed regretfully, Sin had earned everything that he had deserved. But it was still not going to be enough for the coming crisis. She casually swiped her hand out, and noiselessly put a special parting gift into Sins dimensional bag without him being aware. Sin, Ariya, and Alannah took their time back to their entrance point. Along the way they had grouped up with many others. The people that had once looked down on Sin were frightened after sensing his overwhelming presence. Truthfully Sin was only able to contain 60% of his aura, the remaining 40% leaking out was enough to deal with most enemies, except power houses like Kyaku, or the Chaos Chimera who have generated their Refinement Armour. After arriving at their entrance point, Sin took the spot closest to the portal. When many other ignorant people showed up, this had infuriated them. They didn''t put Sin in their eyes, nor did they think he was worth their respect. Sin felt the killing intent of some lock onto him. Sins Mana surged as he created a hand and slapped said in the face. The person who was slapped was sent flying backwards. They had finally stopped when a mountain had carefully caught their body. A shower of dust and rubble flew up covering the aftermath, after it had blown away a quarter of the mountain was split in half leaving a gaping hole in its mountain face. "If you dare to look at me with killing intent. You better dare to receive my slaps. If not get the fuck out of here!" After Sin had shown his dominance, the crowd smartened up and quieted down. After waiting for a couple more hours, the portal finally lit up. When Sin went through the portal he was ranked 1st place with 27,500 points. Ariya was ranked 2nd place with 23,500 points. Alannah was ranked 3rd with 22,000 points. Their points were so massive, the 4th place was trailing behind Alannah by over 10,000 points. After Sin went through the portal logs had appeared in his vision. [Congratulations! You have claimed 1st place in the Grand Warrior Trials] [You have been awarded 60 Wolf, Phoenix, Vermilion Bird Scales.] [You have been awarded 2,750,000 Merit Points.] [You have increased the race rating of humans from 125>100.

You are now seen as a 2nd Class Baron wherever you go in the vast universe] [The Dragon God has been pleased by your actions, you have been given a drop of Dragon God Blood.] After Sin had read through all his logs, he heard the cheers and clapping of the crowd around him. "Welcome back Grand Warriors!" Reiya had run up and hugged into Ariyas embrace. Sin looked around the crowd expectantly, Merala was nowhere to be found. They had been separated from each other for just over 3 weeks of time. Sin would have never thought he would miss someone so deeply before this. While Sin was trapped in his own world, desperately looking around for his wife. A new smell wafted into his nose, a pair of arms tightly wrapped around his waist. A young teenage girl with long pink hair was in his embrace. What she said next had awoken a deep pain he had hid inside himself for far too long. "Big brother do you still remember me?" Sin was gob smacked, all the memories raced through his mind uncontrollably. His hardened heart had that wound ripped open once again. His lips trembled, and his eyes became cloudy. He carefully wrapped his arms around the girl and said what he had been waiting to say for 10 years. "I''m sorry I wasn''t able to protect you" Volume 2 Chapter 20 Sibling Reunion Sin and Jasmine shared a long hug that crossed worlds and time. Sin had wept until he became a complete and utter mess. His precious little sister hadn''t truly died, for 10 years he blamed himself as her older brother for not protecting her. Sims voice quivered as he hugged Jasmine tighter. "Of course I remember my little sister. How could I not? Your older brother failed to protect you. How could I ever forgive myself for that?" The King came up to stage, 10 people including the Dragon King had died. While 90 had come back alive, the race rating of humans also moved up to the top 100. "Congratulation everyone who has made it back alive. I trust you all gave the other races a reason to run. We have once again become a top 100 race! I would like to thank Sin on behalf of my family, and every other human being in the universe for the contribution made to the human race!" "For the clans and families who have lost their leaders, we will hold a burial in their honour. Please forgive me, as your King I cannot guarantee to protect every life within my walls. I will however, guarantee everyone who serves me and died in their service, will be honoured for as long as my family rules this continent. You have my word!" The king grabbed a dagger and cut it across his open palm. "This is my oath to all of you! If you serve me with your respect, integrity, life, family, blood sweat and tears. I swear I will serve you all with the same gravity! I will not let the lives of my children, your children, family, loved ones, dreams, and futures be wasted!" Everyone present felt a divine presence, then everyone had seen a giant contract in mod air burning in a majestic golden flame. "My words have meaning in this land. My words are my life, and you, my people are my blood, happiness, and pride as King of these lands. Thank you all for your service. I hope you will accept this kowtow of mine. Your kings and queens who have fallen were all my good friends. May their souls, spirits, and passion live on with all of us who have witnessed my oath on this very day. The King knelt down and kowtow heavily, quaking the entire capital city. By the time he was done, his entire face and body were covered in his own blood. "I cannot take my life, but please accept this bloodshed of mine in honour of your continued loyalty!" Many had shared their sorrows, some left to go to a tavern and get drowned by Bacchus. Life is a precious thing, it was no easy loss losing the people you loved and cared for. Sin returned to the Vermilion Bird clan with everyone in company, tonight all the chefs were kicked out as Sin was taking care of the meals. Sin spent the next 5 hours cooking supper for the entire Vermilion Bird Clan. During this time, Alannah had been drooling while staring at all the food. Sin and Alannah had unknowingly initiated a game of cat and mouse, Sin would be flipping pans of food while tapping Alannahs hands away as she tried to steal it away. Jasmine walked into seeing this game, and she couldn''t help but chuckle. "Big bro, I didn''t know you had child." Sin lost concentration for 01. second, this was all Alannah needed to grab food and stuff it into her mouth. Alannah instantly had a good opinion of Jasmine. "Big sister is the best! Papa broke his concentration allowing me to win!" Jasmine walked over and saw what Sin was preparing. "You still remember my favourite food after all this time?" Sin smiled "Of course I do, big brother hasn''t cooked this meal in so long. I''m just afraid that it won''t be as good as it use to be." Alannah had a puzzled look on her face. Did she want to stay with her papa, or did she want to go with the big sister that helped her win a snack? Alannah had made her choice, papa was the best and all, but big sister had let her get a free snack! Seeing this Sin was all smiles. "Be careful and keep a close eye on her, as cute as she is she can also be a mischievous devil." Alannah heard this and pouted. "Don''t listen to papa, he just likes bullying me all the time!" Jasmine laughed heartily. "Alright alright, papa is a bad man who likes to bully you. Let''s go and play until papa has supper cooked. Just as Jasmine was walking past Reiya, Reiya''s eyes nearly shot out of her head. She jealously asked Jasmine. "Hey, how did you get that little devil away from Sin?" Alannah stuck her tongue out at Reiya which made her even madder. Jasmine thought about it. "Hmm well I walked into the kitchen when they were playing cat and mouse with food. I distracted big brother, and this little one got a free snack." Alannah had a smug look on her face. as if saying That''s right I won all on my own! Another hour passed, Sin had brought out massive works to the various dining rooms. Each wok had enough to feed 10,000 men and women each. "Supper is ready, you all may grab a plate and begin enjoying your meal." Sin declared aloud. Sin had already gotten his plates ready for the girls and himself. God forbid he had the audacity to make gluttons wait, thankfully he did not. After sitting down and enjoying their meal as a family. Sin finally asked what had been on his mind. "Jasmine, what happen 10 years ago?"Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there. After finishing her plate Jasmine answered. "Glaze had sent me to this world. Up until 10 days ago, I was supposed to be a mind controlled puppet to fight you. However, all of you had entered the Grand Warrior Trials. During that time, Glaze removed the bombs inside my body and let me be free. He said that you would be here, and all I had to do was wait for your return." Jasmine''s voice wavered, and she asked. "How is mom and dad?" Sin answered as lightly as he could. "Mom and dad had suffered a lot, both of them fell ill and couldn''t take care of themselves anymore. I assure you at the beginning it was hard for everybody. As time passed on, we were able to function again." "I have become a successful mercenary, and earth''s deadliest assassin in history. Mom and dad are well taken care of, and have strong people taking care of them 24/7." "I will let you in on a little secret. I have become the Wolf King, within my territory is a portal that connects this world with earth. Your physique is more than enough to allow you to transfer through the portal. Go back home with mom and dad." Jasmine''s eyes showed longing, but she quickly let go of that new hope. "I''m not leaving you here alone big brother! I know what disaster is coming our way here." Sins voice was raised in a demanding tone. "I am not asking you, I am telling you to leave here! I was already a failure to protect you once Jasmine! I will not be made a failure for the second time." Jasmines voice also raised into a demanding one. "I will not leave you here alone big brother. If you want to make me do something that''s against my own will, you will have to force me to listen to your commands." Sin and Jasmine stared daggers at each other for a long time. Sin however, was the first to soften up. "Do what you will, just know that your life is the most important. Do not risk it in any scenario." Jasmine nodded "I don''t need you to tell me big brother, I have learned how to live alone along time ago." Alannah was first to say in a disapproving tone. "Papa you promised to take me out to play after supper!" Sin smiled ruffling Alannahas hair. "Mmh if you can catch papa, you can stay up after your bed time and watch stars tonight." Alannahs eyes widened. "Do you really mean that?" Sin asked her back "Has your papa ever lied to you?" Alannah grabbed her plate and heaved it up sideways dropping all the food into her mouth "Let''s go play!" Alannah cheered happily as she swaggered out of the dining hall. Sin and everyone had followed suit eating the rest of their meals before following the leader. Sin and Alannah had played a game of tag for many hours on end. Both of them had entered into Mystic Unity, as a onlooker all Jasmine could see was the blur of burning white-blue aura chasing and evading each other. After the chase was over and Alannah was briefly rubbing her eyes. Sin began digging a hole in the earth, he removed all the sand, earth and grass from the surrounding area. After that he placed down a couple cement blocks, and then began stacking bricks on top of each other in the shape of an igloo. Sin left some room open, he put a bundle of sticks into the middle lighting them on fire. After that he took out a bag of milk chocolate pieces, graham crackers and marshmallows. Sin Alannah and Jasmine shared a time of bliss with each other. They were one family sitting together, blanketed by the vast sky above them. Alannah enjoyed her snack, after watching the stars for a long time, she had cuddled her way into Sins embrace. Alannah soon fell a sleep on Sins right aide, her wings wrapped around Sins neck, as her arms made a pillow beneath her. Sin took out a long blanket from his Dimension Bag and wrapped it around himself and Jasmine. Jasmine laid her head on Sins left shoulder. "For 10 years they had me in a test tube. Every day they would apply a spiritual pressure strong enough to destroy my spirit. If it wasn''t for me continuously improving, I would become like those mindless people floating in tubes still. There were hundreds and thousands of other children there. We were taught how to kill, and our reward was a meal. We either died at the hands of other children, or from starvation. "Everyday when I thought I was going to succumb. I would see images of you on a battlefield. You were wounded and nearly dying, I don''t know how, but every time I would always find my resolution. Whenever I close my eyes, I see the looks of release on their faces. Some had asked me to live on for them, others had wished me to die a crueler death. I didn''t want to take their lives, but I had no choice. It was either them who died, or I died." Sin sighed, both of them had gone through different levels of hell, all with the same devils. "That my little sister, is why our lives are so precious now." Sin contained his killing intent to the most he could, and activated his Bloody Battlefield Totem. Jasmine stared at the mountains of corpses, the wailing of vengeful souls. There were children, women, elderly, men, of all different kinds of ethnicity. "This world is a cruel one, only the strong survive. We do not have the right to die, nor do we have the right to have the luxuries we do. All of what we have today, is built upon the corpses of many others. That''s what evolution is, to evolve our instincts take over. Whether it be through hook or crook, or it could be as simple dropping a nuclear bomb wiping out millions without hesitation." "There are no saints in this world, every single being has a free will in these vast galaxies. We can only struggle, and provide for those that we have the power to. Spread ourselves too thin, and dynasties fall." Jasmine hugged tighter into Sins embrace. "Do you think one day we will become mindless killing machines." Sin answered resolutely. "No we will not. While we have taken lives, who hasn''t in some shape or form?" "Do you think I will be a burden on you? If one day I become one, will you abandon me?" Sin ruffled Jasmines hair affectionately. "Stop worrying about something that will never happen. You''re family, just as the Wolf God Clan is to me, same as mom and dad, the Phoenix Heart Clan and Vermilion Bird Clan. Jasmine asked something she had been wandering about for the entire day. "I haven''t been able to meet your wife yet?" Sins mood dampened a little, but he didn''t let it bother him. "Merala is in a place becoming stronger. She is also a very good women, you would get along well with her. When she comes back, you will be able to meet my other daughter Samara. Long story short, she was the Guardian Beast of the Wolf God Clan. After the previous Wolf King Sirius had passed away, her connection was cut and she went through a process of rebirth. Thus, she became my daughter after I was the first person, or thing she saw." "And your child?" Sin smiled "Well that''s a particularly long story. It doesn''t matter how it came about, Alannah is my little princess, just as you''re my little sister. Those facts are irrefutable, I will never let any harm befall my girls." "Well it''s getting late, as much as I''d like to stay out here longer, let''s go back for the night, we can always come back again." Sin slowly got up so as not to wake Alannah. After that Sin took Jasmines hand, focusing in on the aura of the Vermilion Bird Clan. Sin vanished and re appeared moments later in his compound. Alannah was jolted awake from the massive speed, she yawned tiredly and looked around groggily. "Papa..... I want to sleep with big sister.'' Jasmine opened her arms and said. "Come here Alannah, big sister will keep you warm." Alannah let go of Sin and flapped her way over into Jasmines embrace. Seeing the big melons, Alannah plastered her head onto them and rolled her face around." Jasmines face went beet red, Sin laughed heartily seeing this scene. He muttered underneath his breath. "That''s my girl" Which was at the wrong time, because Jasmine was visibly angered at his comment. "So papa''s been teaching little Alannah bad things has he?" Alannah who was a mischievous little girl started playing along. "That''s right, papa once said if the carpet doesn''t match the drapes it''s a mood killer." Jasmines eyes went wide, and her mouth was hung open in utter shock. She looked at Sin in pure and utter disbelief. Then she hurled all sorts of vulgarities, and formed multiple hands out of Mana slapping Sin ruthlessly over and over. Sin who was bearing this, knew it was time to run. "Well would you look at the time, I best be going!" Sin however, was angrily grumbling. When he looked back, he happened to catch a glimpse of Alannahs crooked smile as she stuck her tongue out at Sin while waving her hand. The look on her face said it all. ''I just got papa in trouble with big sister!'' Volume 2 Chapter 21 Preparations For War The next morning after making breakfast, and waking the girls up. Sin went to Icarus'' shop and placed in a order for staggering amounts of weapons, tools, traps, bombs, and so forth. After seeing the list, and all the blue prints Icarus'' eyes shot out of their sockets, and then his interested in them burned. "Holy fucking christ are you trying to supply a goddamn army!?" Sin smiled "I don''t expect you to prepare all of it, get as much of it done as you can." Sin then left a pouch with 750,000 gold coins on the counter. "I hear becoming a Grand Master Blacksmith requires many rare and precious materials, as well as a profound knowledge of various formation arrays and runes. The Vermilion Bird Clan is a very important ally to me. The stronger foundation you gain, the better it will be all around. Purchase the highest quality materials, runes and array formation books." Sin left the shop, before leaving Icarus called put in zeal. "Thank you Grand Warrior Sin! I swear on my ancestors I will not let you down." Sin waved his hand in the air. "Don''t worry yourself about that, do your best for the Vermilion Bird Clan. That is more than enough thanks." Sin left Icarus'' shop and returned to the the alchemy association. Sin walked towards the front desk, and placed 10 gold coins on it. "Let your father know I''m here to bulk buy. This here is for you to spend as you like." The boys eyes sparkled, but in the end he still pushed them away back into Sins hand. "Thank you but I cannot take from my father." "Would you take it if I said I needed you to run some errands and you kept the change?" The young boy nodded his head, he ran to his father to let him know, and then began his hunt for Sins grocery list. The man came up to Sin and asked something that he didn''t have the chance to the last time. "Are you Grand Warrior Sin by any chance?" Sin nodded "That is me." The man bowed in respect. "Thank you for your contributions to the human race. With the added stats, and refinement armour. I have been able to breakthrough to the Saint Rank in Alchemy. I have also gained enlightenment and created many new concoctions." Sin smiled widely. "I am honoured you were able to gain such benefits from my deeds. But there is no need to bow before me, the stronger the human race can become the better it will be all around." Sin then got to the main point, he made a hand gesture towards the cellar. "Shall we?" The man hurriedly raised his posture and said in hurry. "Yes, sorry to keep you waiting." The man flipped the switch, and began making his way down to the cellar. Sin followed the man in shortly after, the sight that greeted his eyes was shocking. The cellar had become a much bigger 100 by 100 room, there were lines of shelves with price tags, descriptions, traps, arrays and many more. Sins Mana expanded out, and shortly after he got a headache from overs thousands of different names, and millions of words flooding his mind. Sin however, took out a pouch with 350,000 gold coins and said. "I am buying all the product." The mans eyes shot out of his eye sockets, then the strings attached pulled the eyes back in. This time he had giant $ signs within his pupils. "Sir, there''s only 200,000 Gold Coins worth of product here. I do not want to take your hard earned money. Sin waved his hand as his Dimensional Bag had absorbed all of the products. "Expand your shop, or expand your business. The choice is yours, just know I do not take back what I give out. Unless of course you would want to insult me?" The man swiftly came to a realization. "Thank you Grand Warrior Sin. I will do all that I can to support the Vermilion Bird Clan from now on." "Thank you, that is all the assurance I need to hear." Sin returned to the Vermilion Bird Clan, after that he went right to his compound and decided to finally open up the Merit Point Shop. He had a whopping 4 millions points, and what did that mean? It meant a shopping spree was due! After scouring the first 3 nodes for 4 hours, Sin had made his choices. And then he realized, he wasn''t as rich as he had thought he was. First he bought the seed of a Master Rank Dungeon. Planting this in the Wolf Gods Clans territory would give birth to a dungeon. This dungeon was specially tailored to the surrounding, meaning it would become a replica of the area it is planted. However, it was also chalk full of dangers. Sin spent 650,000 Merit points on this, but the best had yet to arrive. With this Master Rank Dungeon Seed, the Wolf God Clan just had to feed it materials, such as copper, silver, gold coins, medicines of various ranks, weapons, technique manuals, and so on. When killing the monsters residing within the dungeon, there will be a chance of all these items dropping. The stronger the enemy, the higher the reward, the weaker, the lesser. After the dungeon had leveled up over time, from being fed lives that were sacrificed to it, materials, mutant beasts, nucleolus and etc, it will eventually connect with the Arcane Rift, the originator of all dungeons. After certain chances and depending on the overall luck of the Wolf God Clan. The dungeon itself would develop specially catered rooms to Chefs, Tailors, Alchemist, Carpenters, Cultivators, Scribes and many other professions. Next Sin spent 250,000 Merit Points each buying 3 Saint grade protective formations for the Wolf God Clan, Phoenix Heart Clan, and Vermilion Bird Clan. Thirdly Sin bought the Soulless Body Container for 275,000 Merit Points, it could preserve the souls of 2 people at once, and has a separate space inside to preserve the body of the host. Then Sin spent his remaining points on buying a Master Rank Martial Hall. It could hold over 35,000,000 bodies within, it has 850,000 specialized rooms, and 425,000 Major rooms. These rooms double, and triple the progress speed of all that are within. Even the base room of the Martial Hall for example, if someone were cultivating a Grand Master rank refinement method, it would take said person on average 5-8 years to condense their Refinement Armour outside. However, if that person were inside. It would take 1-3 years worth of time, and also enhance the foundation of said person from the richer condensed energy within the Martial Hall. After Sin spent his 4.6 million Merit Points, a new log had appeared in his vision. [You have made decisions to protect the lives of others, instead of being selfish and thinking only of yourself. You have been given 1 free pass to purchase any item you want. However, you must make the choice quick. You only have 3 seconds.] "What the hell am I supposed to choose in 3 mother fucking seconds!" Sin thought to himself [2 seconds left] "Holy fuck this is serious. Come on brain work! Don''t shit on me now baby!" [1 Second Left] Then Sins eyes lit up after he remembered browsing a certain item. The item allowed him to let a spirit enter the body, it will incubate the wandering spirit into a physical body with it''s own will and mind. Then Sin thought about Midnight Reaper. It would be perfect, Midnight Reaper was a extension of his own mentality, thoughts, hobbies, and actions. "I choose the [Soulless Body Formation!" [You have successfully made your decision within the time span. The difficulty of your Hell''s Gate punishment has been reduced. Your Life and Death chances have balanced out to a even 50%. Remember Grand Warrior, your words, and deeds hold power and have severe consequences, just as they have many boons. Kill because you MUST kill to protect, not because you CRAVE the kill!]Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. After getting the Soulless Body Formation, Sin sent it into his Heart World and sucked the sleeping Midnight Reaper into it. Before Midnight Reaper had become fully absorbed he shouted out his complaints. "Don''t you dare trap me and give me a body of my own you mother fucker! I know why you''re doing this! I will fuck your wife, kill your daughter I shit you not, I-" Before Midnight Reaper could finish his series of curses. The Soulless Body Formation had done its magic, Midnight Reaper was now contained within and his looks were preset as a perfect clone of Sin. Sin looked at Midnight Reaper and his emotion surged. "I am sorry my brother, I cannot allow you to die with me. Alannah, Samara, Merala, and Jasmine do not deserve to be lonely like that in this world. At least you''ll be able to mend and play my role in my place if I truly do die." After Sin had finished all of his preparations before the coming calamity, he had gone and prepared supper. After that was done, and all the dishes. Sin had gathered all the elders of the Vermilion Bird Clan. "I will not lie to any of you here present. I am cultivating a God Rank Refinement Method, to develop my refinement method, I need 750 scales to be formed. After all my boons, and the help of higher beings, I am short 40 scales. I need all of you to come at me as if you were trying to kill me!" Everyone was shocked, not because of Sins ridiculous reasoning. But because he had a God Tier Refinement Method, it''s massive amount of energy was astronomical. As all of them were elders, they have access to the Saint, and Divine ranks of Refinement Methods. They have all produced their Refinement Armours, and it had only taken them 60% of what Sins required. Alannah who was created from Sins own essence blood, knew there were troubles on her Papas mind that he couldn''t explain, or didn''t want to explain. And so she was the most supportive of all. "Prepare yourselves people, you heard what papa has to say! We don''t have time to waste" Ariya also nodded her head. "What Alannah says is true, we have to give it everything we have to help the Wolf King!" And just like that, Sin began a rotation of crazed cultivation, sparring against multiple King and Queens, practicing in the Mystic Tree branches of Sorcery, Combat Techniques, and Spirit Tempering. While this was ongoing, Ariya sent women to the King asking for the powerhouses of various clans to partake in Sins training. The reward, was a lofty amount of gold coins, materials, and whatever requests they had. In the blink of an eye, eight days passed by. On the night of the eighth day, Sin had a log appear in his vision. [You have been granted permission to enter and leave Desolate Kingdom as you wish. You have been given a interstellar map with the coordinates of Desolate Kingdom marked. You have 24 hours until the foreign forces invade Desolate Kingdom!] The next morning, Sin spent his entire time glued with Alannah and Jasmine, they had gone to the fair, done plenty of shopping, and had eaten many delicacies. Sin didn''t forget his promise, he had gathered many souvenirs for Midnight Reaper to send his family when the portal would re open between worlds in 2 weeks time. During the day Alannah and Jasmine had gotten a bad premonition. Both knew their papa, and big brother long enough to catch something was amiss. Alannah who would normally switch between Jasmine and Sin, had stuck to Sin all day. Her cheerfulness had vanished as if a bucket of ice water was poured over top. When they were eating supper that night, Alannah could stay quiet no longer. "Papa why does it feel you''re treating today as your last?" Jasmines eyes widened in shock she had her premonitions, but none of her guesses were this severe. "Big brother answer your daughter!" Jasmines voice was heavy, and her eyes were full of unconcealed worry. Sin smiled but to anybody who knew him, this smile said it all. Sin ruffled Alannahs hair, and controlled his voice to the best of his capabilities. "I have felt the urgency to form my own Refinement Armour, after eight days of hard training, I decided today would be the perfect day to relax and spend time with my girls." Jasmine sighed in relief after hearing Sins reply, but Alannah knew deep down there was much hidden under the surface of what her papa had said. ---------------------------- Later that night, after bathing Alannah, Sin had tucked her into bed. Sin had remembered the stories his parents would tell him as a child until he fell a sleep. And so Sin began reciting what he could remember. After Alannah had a peaceful look on her face, and yawned the last time. She had fallen a sleep, imagining the fairytale and the beauty Sin described it to be. During the days of crazed training, Sin had fallen short of a single Wolf Scale before he could generate his refinement armour. He sighed to himself, but it is what it is. He had done everything he could possibly think of, planned for the future and created a foundation for the Wolf God Clan. If he had to fall while fighting to protect the millions of lives on his shoulders. It would be done so without any regrets. Sin had completely geared himself up, his Dimensional Bag was full to the brim with weapons, poisons, traps, formations, and many more. Sin had mastered all the Mystic Sorcery he could within this time frame, then he vanished into the night. Alannahs eyes shot open the moment Sins aura vanished, she too vanished from her spot waiting at the weakest point in the sky above Desolate Kingdom. She would not let her papa face the danger alone. When Sin arrived, his eyes were opened wide. Alannahs wings were flapping tirelessly as she had her arms stretched out. She locked her eyes with Sin and simply said. "You are not going anywhere papa!" Sin had a myriad of questions, but he was too stunned. "Alannah what are you doing here?" Alannahs eyes narrowed as she angrily glared at Sin. "What does it look like to you papa?" "Alannah my princess, be a good girl and come to papa." Alannah spat out in frustration. "No I will not fall for your lies!" Sin took out all of Alannahs favourite snacks and candy. "Come and have some snacks with papa Alannah." Sin took out a carpet and delicately placed many plates on it with the snacks. Then he opened his palm and tapped the carpet beside himself. "Come princess, let''s look at the stars and have some snacks." Alannah stayed still not willing to budge, she hatefully stared at Sin as if he had become her nemesis. Time was ticking, and Sins patience were starting to grow thin. "Alannah sweetheart, do not force your papas hand." Alannah had a smug look on her face. "What do you think you can do to me anyway?" Sin flashed out of existence, father and daughter were evading and chasing after each other as if their lives were dependent on it. Over a hour had passed, Sin now had 3 hours of time remaining, and ever since his and Meralas unison and their bloodline merged together. Sin could feel that Merala was getting closer at break neck speeds. Alannah was infuriated her papa was bullying her. "Papas a bad man! How can you just up and leave in the middle of the night? What about mom!? What about me!? Do you not care that we will be sad without you!?" Alannahs words struck a cord in Sins heart, but now was not the time to soften up. Despite Alannahs having a complete High God Godhood, she was still a 5 year old child and was tiring out. Sin had finally caught her by back of her pajamas. Alannah was like a little ball of fire, her eyes became golden and clocks appeared within her eyes. Time and motion had come to grinding halt. she was hissing, scratching and yelling at Sin with a hateful wrath contained in her eyes. Sin had purposely let Alannahs scratch his face, tearing deep marks into his face. When the blood had touched her finger tips, Alannah came back to her normal self and finally burst out into pleas."Papa i''m sorry I didn''t mean it! Don''t leave me and mom please!" Sin hugged Alannah tightly into his embrace. His eyes became emotionless after Alannah had calmed down. Alannah cried continuously, and her body shook vigorously as she thought of her papa leaving her alone in this world. Sins hand chopped the back of Alannahs neck rendering her unconscious. Sin could feel the mixed bloodline shared between him and Merala, and it was speedily approaching. Sin covered Alannah in a ball of Mystic Energy and left a note. He had written out all of his emotions, his final wish and profusely apologized to Merala. After taking one last look at Alannah and wiping his eyes, Sin hardened his heart and did what he must do. Sin tore open a whole in the sky and stepped through it. He laid down a Divine Ranked protection Array in place behind him. The Mystic Blade Empress had did what Sin does, and snuck it into his pocket without him realizing it at the time he left her palace to return to Desolate Kingdom. This would cut off Meralas attempts from trying to cross over, and hopefully impede the Rage Gods forces from entering into Desolate Kingdom. The moment after Sin placed the formation down, it began rippling, trembling, and booming as if a deity was striking it with all its might. Sin ignored it within the vast outer sky, and began placing various traps, formations, and even deadlier traps within the trap. It was the perfect ambush. It was like you were checking out a hot girl from the back end, then she turned around and it was actually a man! Sin had listened to the booming of the Divine Formation for over 2 hours straight, by the time he was done and had checked the remaining durability on it he was stunned. Meralas anger had fueled her to take out more than 175 million points of durability, dropping it down to 96/100% Finally, Sin sat down mid-air with his back up against the formation. Sin and Merala shared a deep connection, their words couldn''t meet each other. But they knew both were sitting back to back separated by the formation. Sin could imagine Alannah was awake by now, crying her heart out in Meralas embrace. Samara was wrapped on Meralas shoulders, cursing every single curse imaginable to mankind at Sin. Sin took this time and he let his emotions run wild. On the other side was his wife and his daughters, Sins eyes went out of focus as he numbly stared at the clock counting down in his vision. When there was 10 minutes left, Merala felt her connection with Sin had disappeared. For the next 10 minutes, Sin thought about the consequences of his failure. His wife would die, his daughters would die. Jasmine would die, the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team Members who were his brothers, and sisters in arms would die. Sin had purposely worked himself up into a frenzy, there was no room to sit down and talk over the past with tea and crumpets. It was time to nut up or shut up! Within the distance, Sin could see a speck of dust moving at high speed. Sin unsheathed Kaiser and moved forward chopping that person in half. He roared out all his grievances and pain into the vast universe. "ALL OF THOSE WHO DARE TO STEP FORWARD WILL DIE!" Unknown to him, across the entire universe, cosmos, and various worlds. A giant screen had formed in mid air, showcasing Sin. Within Sins vision, he saw the spiraling lights of hundreds and hundreds of thousands, and millions of invaders. Sins Bloody Battlefield Totem appeared behind him. "COME ONE AND COME ALL YOU MOTHER FUCKERS, NONE OF YOU SHALL PASS!" Sin stabbed Kaiser down as he fueled all three of his Sacred Flames. Sin had the Midnight Reaper Mask equipped, the Sacred Flames turned into black-white, golden-red and white-blue dragons that devoured hundreds of invaders in a instant. Volume 2 Chapter 22: Lone Wolf Fighting To Protect His Loved Ones Sin flashed into the crowd of wolves, mirror images were everywhere across the entire battlefield. Sin had been using the minimal amount of Mana and spammed White Nebula continuously. Whether it had done any good, or was being wasted. That was not his concern, he was feeling alive, alive like never before. His blood boiled, and his heart quickly sped up. This was exhilaration! Pure and utter exhilaration! With every swing of his sword, Sin was claiming life after life. He had long since garnered another weapon in his left hand. One was used for killing, and the other was used for defending. The quality of the weapon were superb, but they were not enough to keep up with the amount of attacks he was receiving in each second. Within a matter of three minutes, Sin had already broken over 175 spares. Sin spread his Mana out and shot it through formations, detonating bombs, traps, formations and arrays. The death count quickly soared up to over 10,000. This however, was nothing but a drop in a 60 gallon pale of water. Sin had split his attention into 6 parts. Killing, defending, casting Mystic Sorcery, igniting formations, switching in and out of Mystic Unity, and Mystic Soul phases, and even more killing! Sin put both his hands together, Kaiser was facing upwards and his spare was facing downwards. Sin began rotating his wrists, his weapons soon created a cyclone. Sin imbued his now Tier 6 Midnight Glory Sacred Flame into it. Then he added 5,000 points of Mana as ''oil'' to further combust the flame. While Sin was tirelessly killing, many people across the universe had begun to take notice. "Yo this little punk ass actually want''s to fuck with Solarus'' forces? How laughable! But I commend him, I wouldn''t dare say I have the balls to do so myself." Elsewhere many Elf and Dwarf elders were attentively watching Sin. The bloodline treasure in their clan had heated up, the long lost bloodline of their leader had shown it was still within this dark age. "350,000 years have passed but Shenzi''s bloodline was unbelievably preserved. I must personally make a trip to Desolate Kingdom!'' The servants eyes widened "Matriarch you must not go! Us Elves and Dwarfs were nearly completely annihilated following under Shenzi!" "Shut your fucking mouth, when we were enslaved by those cunt demons it was Shenzi who had reclaimed the Yang Major World for us! When we all died, who was it that injured his immortal soul to reverse time? AND you dare to curse him even after his passing!?" The Matriarchs fury erupted and slapped the Dwarf into a mashed pancake. The Matriarch looked at the screen again, her eyes became resolute and her long since locked emotions became active. "Hang in there kid!" Just as she was about to leave, a dwarf appeared beside her with their clans treasured hammer. "Yere not going anywhere withoot me yee fokin old coot!" "Fine but we must go now!" The matriarch was not pleased with being delayed. "Look at you an'' yere ovaries be throbbin'' in ovurdrive!" The dwarf patriarch bellowed in hearty laughter before following suit in pursuit of the elven Matriarch. Sin had continued on in his killing spree. Sin smashed his elbow down onto the head of a enemy bursting it into thousands of pieces. He then hand-stanned with one hand and flipped over dodging, various magic, swords, spears and sabers. Sins hands quickly moved into formation, seals and ancient text appeared. Then he trapped himself in a cylinder shaped defensive formation. After that the same cylinder covered the heads of 20 different individuals. Sin slapped his palms together, and their heads blew up within. [Mystic Sorcery: Decapitation Sphere!] Sins own protective layer had been shattered by a spear, Sin had been shot backwards spurting blood out of his mouth. Sin forcefully turned his body sideways, his palm slapped out onto the back of the attacker exploding him into a shower of blood and guts. Mystic Energy began building in his palm before a aura wave was blasted out, the attacker had been shot backwards into the crowd before detonating, covering many other allies in its blast range. [Mystic Sorcery: Pulse Cannon!] Sins sword quickly flashed about deflecting tens of weapons. With each deflection, Sin had vibrated his arm, speeding the blade up with each passing second. When it reached peak speed, a penta layered formation of floating swords appeared covering Sin and 1,000 bodies within. [Illusionary Sword Third Form: Lightning Column Devastation!] Sins body convulsed, his Mana had hit 0 and it had given him a unimaginable painful headache. After splitting his mind into 6 separate functions for tens of minutes, his body had become beet red like a boiled lobster. This had allowed a sudden attack to cut through his net, a Saber had slashed through the back of Sin nearly chopping his right arm off. Sins hand reached out pulling the enemy''s head forward. Sin smashed his head forward, knocking the woman unconscious. Sin grabbed the handle of the blade, and ripped it out from his body. Sin used Blood Dragons Blooming Lotus sending 12 nearby heads flying into the air. Sin deflected the next blow, and used the carried momentum to let himself skid backwards. He had managed to give himself a couple seconds to catch his breath, then he was once again trapped within a crowd of fanatics. A leader of the pact had flown towards Sin. His arms were crossed in front of his chest, and he looked both hateful and praiseful at Sin. "You''re not bad human, in over half a hour you have killed over 65,000 of my lord''s soldiers. If you kowtow before me, cut off both your arms and join our forces. Your life will be spared." "Harrrrrrk phew!" Sin had horked a massive loogie, landing perfectly right in the middle of the mans brows. The man stared in utter shock as the fleghm had dripped down his nose and into his wide opened mouth. Next his aura blasted out, sounding like a nuclear explosion as he punched with all his might. "YOU MOTHER FUCKER!" "SUCK MY DICK!" Sin bellowed back matching fist for fist. Sin had gained the upper hand blowing the man backwards. Sin quickly appeared he grabbed the mans left shoulder with his right hand, then he clenched onto his forehead with his left hand. Sin flexed and he ripped the mans head off with the spine connected to it. Sin started juggling the head like a soccer ball on his feet. Purposely kicking upwards, Sin spin kicked the head, launching it into the crowd. One was too slow and the head had shot through the mans stomach, leaving a gaping whole. Sin then grabbed the corpse of the man, imposing his might into the dead body he raised it up high, then slashed downwards blasting the surrounding enemies into smithereens. [Thunder Lord''s Descent!] Guts, organs, blood, arms, legs, and heads were left in a bloody mess from Sins attack. Sin had bought enough time for his brain to cool off, then went back into Mystic Unity. Sins body had started becoming numb and heavy, he had been operating at maximum output for 1 full hour. He had drained his Mana 25 times, and each time it was further injuring himself. But he did not have the luxury to care about his own well being right now. From the massive ruckus this had created in Desolate Kingdom, let alone the rest of the universe. Jasmine was awoken out of cultivation, and arrived to see the scene of Sins Thunder Lords Descent. She was petrified seeing Sin punched full of minor to medium sized holes, blood was continuously pouring out from his body. Not to mention the Bloody Battlefield Totem behind him, she had only seen the "appropriate'' version, and not the full extent of it.Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel. Sin had managed to gain over 200,000 souls sucked into the Bloody Battlefield Totem. He stretched his left arm out, a giant maw with razor sharp teeth emerged devouring his arm, Sin bit down as he let out a muffled "grrrrrrgh" of pain. Next a giant three headed evil spirit Cerberus stepped out of his Bloody Battlefield Totem. The Cerberus roared wrathfully, just as it was about to rip Sins body in half and drink all of his blood, Sin had punched it in the snout with his remaining arm. It let out a high pitched whimper, just before it was about to chomp on Sin as its snack, it had got the whiff of a ''delicacy''. Sin made sure the Cerberus had it''s attention fully locked on the severed arm. Then he chucked it into the massive Rage God army. The Cerberus let out a loud howl as it shot forward. Sin controlled the severed arm with his Mana and plunged in into the deeper ranks of the enemy. Sin laughed like a maniac before yelling out. "All of you mother fuckers better start running!" [Initiate Jalals RUN!] Sin controlled the severed arm with his Mana, plunging it into the deepest part of the Rage God army as possible. The death count quickly shot up to over 175,000 as three mouth widened sucking in all of the fleeing toys. After the mouths snapped shut, blood gushed out like fruit gushers. While this was happening, Sin had took a moment to have some peace and quiet. He imagined himself as the kool-aid man bursting through a wall shouting the famous "Oh yeah!" After watching his ''puppy'' playing with its toys. After the momentary shock had disappeared shouts of anger had sounded out. "Kill that mother fucker and the beast will disappear with him!" Sin had made a disapproving pose with his index finger wagging back and forth. "Nuh uh bitch, I''m one step ahead of you!" Then with his thumb he pointed up and said "Can you find waldo?" Hundreds, and thousands of swords were flying downwards impaling the bodies of many confused onlookers. While this onslaught was happening, Sin had put all of his Mana into his palm, Sin bit the tip of his tongue as he fought off the backlash. [Mystic Sorcery: Six Rod Barriers Reapers Salvation!] Six white-blue pillars shot out encasing the surrounding 4 kilometers meters, entrapping over 25,000 enemies, Sin flashed about pulling out different talismans. Sin bit the tip of his thumb and had written Life, Death, Reincarnation, Samsara, Purgatory, Hell on each talisman. Sin threw the talismans out landing on each rod. A reaper appeared wearing a white-blue cape. It''s hand shot out piercing through the chest of each individual pulling out a string. Then it''s scythe swept out cutting all the strings in half. An invisible wave shot out inside of the barrier, then the upper bodies of all men and women within had slid off. Their eyes were wide open with pure and utter fear in their eyes. After they died their spirits had been absorbed by the reaper. It locked onto Sin and raised 4 skeleton fingers. Each finger represented 15 years of life, with the guarantee of of 4 more attacks. Sin had sent the coordinates to the reaper. After it had received its orders, it appeared behind Sin stabbing its boney hand through his back, and pulled out 60 years of life from himself. This had visible changes as Sins aura had begun being quelled like a forest fire. Sin had stumbled backwards as blood began leaking from his eyes and ears. Sin had fallen backwards, but managed to stabilize himself with the meager amount of Mana he had regenerated. Alannah had been watching the entire time. She had taken her blade of void flames out and was getting ready to tear open the formation and rescue Sin. But Merala had planted her hand on Alannahs shoulder. "Alannah dearest, your father has made a choice that is not easy for any man to make. As much as I want to be there as well, your father would not be able to fight like the way he is while worrying about us in the back of his mind. Your father is a man who creates miracles, have faith in him." The moment Sins back had touched the ground, he had rolled to the right evading a sword that was aimed to pierce through his heart. Sins left hand swiped out slashing the achilles tendon of the attacker. After that Sin slashed out with his sword sending the mans head flying. Sin grabbed his left arm and ripped it off his body, he placed it on the stump of his missing arm, and then began forming stitches with Mana and Mystic Energy. Sin took out multiple rocks and began rotating them around in circles within the palm, and fingertips of his borrowed arm. Sin stretched his back, then flipped himself forward. His right arm shot out superman punching an attacking man, the punch had sent the man skidding backwards, his head spinned in circles multiple times before he lifelessly dropped into the boundless sea of stars below. Sin rotated his right arm multiple circles and thought to himself "This should be enough to get the job done for now." Sin took out a spare sword, with exhaustion becoming ever more relevant. He could no longer divert his attention anymore, all that he could do was kill with all of his remaining might. Just as Sins focus had reclaimed its peak and he was charging forward to kill a nearby enemy. A 75 meter tall Hells Gates manifested behind him, the gates flung wide open as red tribulations clouds started hovering above Sin. Within the clouds there were murderous souls, skeletons, reapers, undead, monsters and various other unholy beings. Their baleful and malicious aura condensed turning into a undead dragon. It roared and howled into the universe shocking all of those present, and those who were watching across the various worlds. The undead dragon shot down like a sudden thunderclap. Sins attention was pulled, he imbued his weapon with Mana covering it with cyan light, then he put it into his sheath and speedily withdrew his weapon with Imposed will. [Illusionary Sword Second Stage: Void Breaker!] Sin looked up into the Sky and said. "Well don''t you just look so goddamn pretty." The clouds rumbled and tolled like a grandfather clock, apparently it had understood what Sin had said, it was NOT pleased. Sin used [Void Steps] appearing up above the tribulation clouds. Sin changed Kaiser into the Great Sword form. The word Emperor was engraved on its hilt. All the Swords, Sabers, Katanas and various other bladed weapons flew out of their owners hands or sheathes. The weapons stood attention like well trained soldiers behind Sin. Kaiser had floated out as he waved his arm down, pointing directly at the Hells Gate and tribulation clouds. All the blades had been given their imperial decree, they shot down destroying the Hells Gate and tribulation clouds. Sin had gathered all his might and swung down tearing through the Undead Tribulation Dragon like a hot knife through butter. [Impose: World Rending Annihilation!] Sin and the Tribulation Dragon had clashed with each other. The dragon roared out in the common universe language "How dare a meager human like you go against the underworlds punishment!" Sin didn''t understand a single word, nor did he give a fuck. Just as he had cut through the undead tribulation dragon, an imposing Hells Gate that was 50 times as big as Sins had appeared in mid air. It flung open as a giant black horned fist shot down pummeling into Sins body. The spikes pierced through Sins flesh, shattering his bones and bursting his organs. "Insignificant ant!" A angry bellow was heard before the gates disappeared. The Dragon Scale Diagram began working in overdrive as Sins body hungrily devoured an endless amount of Dragon Essence. The old manor in his heart world opened up as limitless Chaos Energy flowed into his body repairing his organs and bones. Sin had become a blood man after receiving this last attack, Sin had cut off all his pain receptors and had formed sharp spikes made with his Mystic Energy to hold his bones together. Every movement and breath he took sent an excruciating amount of pain that shot through the isolation he formed for himself. Just as Sin was fighting to keep his consciousness from fading. A angrily bellow echoed out shattering starry sky outside of Desolate Kingdom. A seven meter man appeared in purple armour, there were terrifying spikes sprouting out from the armour itself. The mans face was masked, he had a monstrous slab of metal on his back which looked like it weighed over 10,000 kilograms. The man had long flowing white hair, with every step he took the void shattered underneath his foot and so did his own soldiers. "You pathetic fucking fools! I ordered ravenous bad asses who wanted to pillage and raid a world, but instead I got a bunch of fucking pussies and fuck knuckles! You dare to raise your flags and display yourself as soldiers under my rule!? FUCKING PATHETIC!" Then he vanished and reappeared in front of Sin. "I remember you! You''re the one who killed my beloved disciple Sorcus!" The mans fist enveloped in red molten flames as he punched out with the intention of wiping Sin out of of existence. Sin activated both Implosion and Destruction at the same time. Sins combined all three of his sacred flames as it enveloped his fist, Sin punched out meeting fist for fist with the Rage God. Both men were shot backwards, and the Rage God revealed a look of utter shock. "That is impossible! Even if I am being suppressed by the universal laws and only have one percent of my full power, no ordinary human or any being should be able to trade blows with me!" Sins eyes lit up in white-blue flames as he pushed Mystic Unity to the peak of his capabilities. His killing intent soared, but was kept in check. Sin had entered a state that could only be possible when he was truly facing an opponent he couldn''t win over. "So what if I killed Sorcus? You have chosen a shitty disciple! Unlike yours, my disciple is a bad ass who can get shit done!" The Rage Gods eyes went blood red as his refinement armour evolved into its second stage. "You sure know how to run your mouth little man! Allow me to kill a stray dog that doesn''t know when to tuck its tail between its own legs!" The Rage God took out his slab of various metals and got into an attack stance. "Come at me with all you got! Let''s see just how long you can hold your berserk state for!" Sin got into a attack stance, and fearlessly eyed the Rage God down. Both men shot toward and clashed, a white-blue aura of a guardian, and the blood red aura of rage and cruelty fought against each other in the sky for victory over the other. Volume 2 Chapter 23 The Fallen Wolf King Sin and Solarus clashed multiple times, their blades produced a well organized symphony of "Klang klang klang kling" The shockwaves sent ripples out, the might of their blows were overwhelming. Anyone within a 100 meter area was blown up into chunks from the aftermath. Sins hands had split open with blood flowing down his weapon. No matter how hard Sin fought, with his current state he was constantly losing the power struggle. The pressure from overwhelming power, and threat of death was pushing Sin beyond his capabilities. Every clash was a gamble with his life on the line. Solarus was becoming increasingly shocked the more he fought, it felt like Sin was going through a metamorphosis right in front of his eyes. Sins aura was becoming sharper the longer he fought, and bestial like instincts were slowly waking from within. Sins aura was slowly but surely matching his own, Sin had entered into a solitary state where he and his weapon Kaiser were becoming a single entity. The Qi of an Emperor was slowly building up within his body, his body was becoming light like a feather, and his strength was continuously increasing. The last Wolf Scale was showing signs of forming under this significant pressure. Fifteen minutes had passed, and Sins fleshly body was rupturing, skin tearing open, the tendons, veins and bones were visible to public eyes. Sins body had been reacting to the flow of Mana in the environment. The reserves of his bodies treasury was long over drawn. Solarus grit his teeth and took the earrings off as his aura exploded into a massive column piercing through the sky. A giant that had chains wrapped around it''s body was struggling, on top of its back was a ancient mountain with godly symbols engraved into it. While his aura exploded, the laws of the universe began swirling in the sky above. Red, purple, black, and green tribulation clouds were revolving and mixing with each other. The first bolt of lightning shot down, it had struck Solarus'' refinement armour like a blacksmithing wielding his prized hammer. Sin took full advantage of this opportunity as he raised Kaiser high up into the sky. The Emperor Qi exploded as a magnificent golden aura began emitting from Kaisers blade. Sin slashed Kaiser down and a tremendous wave of Emperor Aura rushed out like a golden tsunami. It had attacked the defenseless Solarus who was fighting off the universes tribulation. Then the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh final lightning bolt struck Solarus one after the other. Each tribulation bolt was multiplied by the stacking effect. Sin had slashed down one last final time. [Impose: World Rending Annihilation!] Sins aura weakened considerably, but the final scale had finally formed filling the Wolf Scale Diagram. A white-blue armour covered Sins body from head to toe, the wings of a Phoenix sprouted from his back, and his Soul had entered a heightened state as a Vermilion Bird congealed itself in Sins Soul Realm. The vast energy of the cosmos which Sin was once unable to sense, had now become clear to him like when you finally understood a story told within a painting. Sin had finally formed his Refinement armour, but the weak state of his physical condition had severely limited the energy it was created with. It was incomplete, but it may be just enough to tide over the current hopeless situation. ------------------------------ Elsewhere, the Mystic Blade Empress was getting anxious, she had flown out of her palace and began tearing through the void of the Grand Warrior Trials. Right as she was about to hop through, a hand had grabbed her shoulder and ripped her back. "Listen to me my wife, this is their matter to deal with and not ours!" Meralas master had appeared, and was using all his strength to hold his wife back. But it proved futile, the Mystic Blade Empress was a person who couldn''t be held back when she was determined. The Mystic Blade Empresses aura exploded, and her eyes lit up as her aura surged rocking the entire Grand Warrior Trials space. "Don''t you dare hold me back again! That is my precious disciple, my one and only disciple! If you dare to stop me again, I will kill you whether you''re my husband or not!" Mystic Blade Empress bellowed as her eyes became draconic like, her soul pressure shot forward making her husband bow down without the power to fight back against it. After taking one last look at her husband, she scoffed murderously before tearing the void open once again. The primordial killing intent in her awoke from its deep slumber. The Mystic Blade Empress shot through the void like a bat out of hell. When she was just about to cross into the outer space of Desolate Kingdom. A women radiating a intoxicating amount of lust appeared. She had long snow white hair cascading down her back, a tight fitting black robe exposing all her curves, and her bountiful chest was open to full display. Two massive auras appeared to the left and right of the Mystic Blade Empress. This was the Dwarven Patriarch Obsidian, and on the other side was the Elven Matriarch Catherine. Obsidian looked the Mystic Blade Empress up and down with a pleased look in his eyes. "Well avn''t yee become a beauty, Shenzi''s daughter ''as become a stunning beauty over the years. Yee were only a wee dragon ling when Shenzi brought you home at that time. Never woulda thought yee would turn out like this." The woman let out a seductive laugh. "Oh my if it isn''t Shenzi''s sidekicks, I thought I had made sure his father killed you all back then. I guess that explains why Shenzi''s immortal soul was severely wounded when we fought back then. He reversed time to bring back the lives of my slaves. Oh how I wish I could thank him sadly, he''s already dead!" The Mystic Blade Empresses aura surged another notch, her treasured Sword and Saber appeared in her hands, the spirits of two identical female twins, floated out of the weapons. They stared wrathfully at the woman in front of them. "You killed my father, and you dare to take the form of his wife before me!?" The Mystic Blade Empresses eyes blazed with Mystic Unity, she reverted back to her original form. Becoming a colossus sized golden dragon, with purple wings and black plasma currents emitting from her wings. There was a long dragon horn with ancient symbols and diagrams drawn on it. The woman licked her lips. "Oh my isn''t this just a treat, all of you have appeared for little old me. It''s a shame I haven''t fully recovered, but it''s more than enough to kill you all once and for all. And truth be told, all is fair in love and war. Adria''s body and soul had proved a useful tool in my hands to kill that pathetic love struck human." The sparks were ignited as the Mystic Blade Empress, Obsidian and Catherine began their fight with the Demon Lord. The Mystic Blade Empress went all out from the very beginning, she had ignited her bloodline, burned her blood essence, and activated a Taboo skill she was given from Shenzi''s explorations. There was no way in hell that she was not saving the life of her only disciple!You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story. ------------------------------------- Sins breath was ragged, and his entire body was shaking like a leaf in the middle of a storm. Solarus was also having slight troubles catching his breath, but he was still in a much better condition than Sin was in. Solarus rushed forward punching Sin with a fist full of flame, to his surprise his opponents incomplete Refinement Armour didn''t have any cracks appear, all there was were sparks flying out. "Impossible! How can a incomplete Refinement Armour be so damn tough?" Solarus muttered aloud as he watched Sin struggle to stabilize himself. Sin went into a attack stance, his weapon was swaying side to side, unable to hold together his own position. Sin charged forward clashing weapons with Solarus once again. In the sky above a giant Sword combined with Mana, Mystic Energy and Sword Qi was rushing down towards Solarus. [Four Paths Vanquisher Blade!] Sin had punched out with his right arm, piercing through the severely damaged Refinement Armour, Sins left hand pierced through Solarus'' body, then he began spinning his body at high speeds. After reaching maximum speed, Sin let go throwing Solarus directly onto the tip of the Four Paths Vanquisher Blade. The blade pierced through Solarus'' body and blew up, blood, guts, and armour shrapnel fell downwards. Solarus'' figure was shown as half his Refinement Armour was now shattered, there was a massive piece of shrapnel through Solarus'' left eye. He was roaring in pain and his killing intent was becoming thicker. "A goddamn lowly piece of shit human dares injure me!?" Solarus was on the brink of having a mental breakdown, how could a nearly defeated human who had over-drafted his bodies potential be so strong? His berserk status was still ongoing, and his aura was diminishing at a unbelievable rapid pace. And that same human was still fighting with everything he had, it was unthinkable even in his most wildest dreams! Solarus'' rage had consumed him, he entered into a frenzied state as he appeared in front of Sin. Solarus reached out and grabbed Sins body heaving it up into the air and began raining blows into Sin. Sin was exhausted, his Refinement Armour was taking blow after blow. His reformed organs were like a boat being rocked in a tumultuous storm. Sin was desperately fighting against his own body, looking for some kind of miracle to get the power to fight back. But the damage was already long done, his body was spent, and he was now nothing but a rag doll being beaten around by the maniac Rage God. After twenty minutes of a ruthless assault, Sins incomplete Refinement Armour began showing signs of breaking. This had fueled Solarus with a new hope as he began tearing, slashing and ripping the Refinement Armour off of Sins body. When Sins bloodied body was exposed, Solarus beamed in delight as he mocking said "You''re not looking too well puny human! Do you need a break?" Sin lifelessly stared at Solarus and then said with hard to conceal disdain. "Is that all you got? For a so called God, your attacks feel like the itch of a mosquito bite!" Solarus ripped Sins left arm off his body, then smashed his knee into Sins face, breaking his nose and denting his skull. Solarus continued raining blows into Sins body, snapping sounds continuously rang out as Sins bones were once again shattered into dust. After Solarus was satisfied, he squeezed Sins neck, but not hard enough to crush his windpipe. Solarus then ordered his men aloud to begin attacking the protective formation Sin had placed. Solarus held Sins mangled body up and made him watch. "This is what happens when you defy a Gods will. I was only going to enslave everyone of your world, but now I think i''ll keep you alive as you watch my men kill your loved ones!" Sins eyes gazed lifeless at the millions of people attacking the defensive formation. He was raging inside his own body but no matter how hard he tried. He was too weak, injured, and on the brink of dying. After 30 minutes, the protective barrier shattered, Solarus'' army cheered in celebration. "Kill them al-" Before Solarus could finish his declaration, two fingers infused with a multi-coloured flame pierced through his throat. Sins exhausted body exploded with one last spurt of energy. He smashed his head into Solarus'' as he let out a demonic howl that was far from a human. Sins desperation pushed the last of his life into action one last time. This was all a futile attempt. Solarus'' hand was covered in a destructive red flame. He place it over top Sins chest, then a massive wave shot through vaporizing Sins heart and organs in his body. "Very impressive, but now you''re no longer able to entertain me." Solarus threw Sins body through the air, it shot through Desolate Kingdoms sky like a rocket crash landing in the middle of the capital city''s square. Sins body formed a massive crater in the ground, blood was forming a pool underneath his body. Sins eyes were left wide open, his body was in shock and he had yet to truly die. Alannah was the first to run over like a bat out of hell. Disbelief was on her face, Alannah placed her hands on what remained of Sins back and rocked him back and forth desperately calling out "Papa don''t die, Papa don''t leave me!" but her words and futile attempt was falling on deaf ears. Sins eyes were wide opened and the light within was rapidly fading away. Samara quickly followed suit, after the training with Merala, she had created a human body. Samara was a 5 year old girl, with nine golden tails sprouting out from behind her. She covered Sins body in various healing lights, and vast amount of pure Nature Essence into Sins lifeless body. This however, proved to be a futile attempt. Sins heart and organs could not be regenerated even with his God Rank Refinement Method. Merala was standing in place like a screw nailed to the ground. Her eyes were full of disbelief, Sin had just been fighting so hard like a mad man. But now, he had a gaping hole in his upper body where you could see the earth through it. A pool of blood was underneath his body, and his eyes were like that of a dead fish. Merala quickly ran over, foolishly placing her fingers on Sins neck hoping to feel a pulse. Her dreams were shattered in but a instant. A crimson red battle robe covered Meralas body, her Sword shot out of its sheathe as flames of wrath, despair, and hopelessness burned on her body and blade. "I WILL KILL YOU ALL!" Meralas berserk yell rippled out like a massive sound wave deafening all that heard it. Merala shot forward into the sky crazily decapitating the invaders. Her husband was dead, her husband fought to protect Desolate Kingdom. The new life that was forming inside her stomach, would one day be born without a father. Commander Glaze had finally arrived as he ordered aloud, "Jack, Reaper, Sky, Lucifer all of you do damage control, begin evacuating everyone out of the capital city now! Then Glaze looked at the remaining members of the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team. "You guys go and protect the Vermilion Bird Clan. If they fight back, you have permission to deal with them as you see fit. From today onwards the rest of you are dismissed from the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team. Live your life to the fullest!" Commander Glazed flew into the sky joining the fray, Seraphim was long since evacuated out of the capital city. There were members of a trump card unit protecting her. She was bawling her eyes out, she was trying to run after her husband. But the people would not let her slip away. Seraphim with a voice full of anguish screamed into the sky. "What about our daughter! You mother fucker why must you leave like this!?" Glaze looked back after cutting a enemy in half. He zoomed in and got one last good look at his wife, then his eyes fell down to her stomach as he hardened his heart. His last words would never reach his wife, but he had made peace with himself. "I''m sorry my wife, please raise our daughter well. I am no longer fighting for just myself, allow me to be a good man for once and do something right!" ------------------------------- Sin whose body was shutting down, had seen his wife, and friends rush out in a frenzy at the last moment before he had fallen into the clutches of death. His vision became grey, and then all sound, and feeling had vanished. "Papa!!!!!!!!!!!" Alannah who was created from Sins very being, had felt the very last flicker of Sins life vanish. The tears streamed down uncontrollably. Her aura erupted as she screamed despairingly. Alannahs High God Godhood showed itself, Alannahs eyes had silver white ancient clocks appear within, time froze as her hair rose. Alannahs hand tore through the void as she withdrew her Sword of void flames. "Papa loved me unconditionally, papa gave me good food, papa bathed me, papa dressed me, papa played with me, papa told me bedtime stories! And all of you took him away from me! Unforgivable, UNFORGIVABLE!" Alannahs body shot through the void, her blade slashed down and tens of thousands of lives withered away turning into gray ash. "I WILL WIPE ALL OF YOU OUT OF EXISTENCE!" Volume 2 Chapter 24: Title Hidden Moments after Sin had passed, the world of Desolate Kingdom for the first time in its creation rained. The raindrops fell to the ground as they mixed with the blood, the universe mourned the loss of a single individual. Under some miraculous intervention, Sin had regained vision. He could see everything going on, Commander Glaze, the brothers and sisters of the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team desperately fighting. Samaras'' emotions were running out of control, she was switching back and forth between her human and beast form, licking his cheek and hugging onto his corpse. Alannah was killing madly like a goddess of death, blood tears were rolling down her face. Meralas body was riddled with wounds. but the MOST important of all, in his death, Sin felt the surge of a newborn bloodline calling him from within Meralas very being. Was that the despair of his own bloodline not meeting their originator? Sins soul raged and crashed, Sins body was dead but his soul was trapped. He was witnessing all of his friends, loved ones, and allies get cut down, Merala was nearing her death, Alannah a mere 5 year old had claimed millions of lives alone. Hundreds of generals had her surrounded in a tight sealed formation, she was crazily muttering "papa" under her breath as she had lost her sanity from losing her beloved papa. Sins'' very soul was being ripped apart, the desperation, hopelessness, fury, bitter pain he was feeling had all been raging uncontrolled, and then his struggles were answered. A man appeared in front of his corpse. He had long blood red hair, his entire body was the colour of scarlet. He wore blood red armour, Sin could feel the unimaginable number of lives this man had claimed. He stabbed his Sword through the ground right in front of Sins'' corpse. Then a thick murderous, demonic and unholy voice unfitting his still human looks was heard by Sins soul. "You now have a choice to make. Do you watch as your family and loved ones all die? Or do you defy your death, becoming someone who kills because you lost your sanity? Or do you become the complete version of who I once was with emotions, sanity, a heart and soul?" Sins rage was burning, his fury was overtaking all of his thoughts. Kill them all! Kill all of those who harmed my loved ones! The Sword in front of Sins corpse had begun reacting to Sins negative emotions. With the man''s control, the killing intent and malicious aura that billowed out of his own Sword was unaware to everyone else. The aura began seeping through Sins nostrils, eyes, mouth, ears. Then it formed a thick billowing over top Sin, it swirled as it formed a cyclone piercing into Sins soul form. Within Sins heart world, the blood stained Sword reacted as the figure of a teenage girl shot out. She appeared as she looked longingly at the figure of the man in front of Sin. Her choked voice sounded out. "Father!" The man looked at the spirit of his own daughter. He raised his arm out, and with his hand he stroked her face lovingly. "My beautiful Sasha, I have done many horrible acts after losing your mother. But I guess somewhere in this vast realm, the karma I sowed before becoming the Shura has given me a chance to see my beautiful daughter again." Just as Sasha went to go and hug Kelluminatis being. He formed a barrier separating the both of them, his regretful and sorrow filled voice sounded out. "I wish it was that simple sweety. If you don''t want to become like those hateful souls trapped within my body, I would advise you not to step any closer towards me." Kelluminati spoke again not giving Sasha a chance. "I have done what I was brought back for. The rest is up to this young man, make sure you guide him well Sasha. Do not let him become like your father once was." Kelluminatis figure became millions of light particles as he had finally passed his way through death without any interruptions. Sasha cried and wailed as she tucked herself into a ball. "Why does this universe have to be so cruel, I lost both mother and father! I am nothing but a goddamn spirit who is trapped within her own father''s weapon!" Sin was forced to watch the fight that was being undertaken, no matter how hard he tried to look away he couldn''t. He watched as all the members of the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team died, Commander Glaze hugged an enemy General and ignited. Sin could hear the far away distance of Seraphims anguish. Alannah had killed all the enemy Generals that surrounded her, but she had become exhausted using her Godhood for so long. She was attacked without any defense and was sent barreling into the ground, her body crashed fifty feet away from Sins corpse with weapons pierced through her back. Sin helplessly watched as his injured little princess crawled towards him with a look of pain on her face. Alannah banged her head in front of Sins corpse multiple times, Sins soul heard what she said and it made his nonexistent heart shatter into millions of pieces. "I''m sorry papa! If only I wasn''t so scared of revealing my origins, I could have saved you. We could be a happy family with mom, Samara and Jasmine. Now you''re dead, my one and only papa who loved me so much!" Sin desperately yelled, he bellowed as loud as he could but no voice could make its way out. An enemy was in mid swing about to slash Alannah into two halves. Just as Alannah was about to be cut in half, Jasmine appeared at the last minute shielding Alannah with her own body. Sin despaired as Jasmine''s blood sprayed over his corpse and Alannah. Jasmine grit her teeth as she made her last effort kicking the man in the balls, then slit his throat with her dagger. Jasmine fell backwards in exhaustion, she fought as hard as she could and claimed many enemy lives. Now she could rest knowing she protected her little sister. "Big sister!" Alannah cried out as she watched Jasmine weakly breathing. Jasmine raised her hand as she caressed Alannahas face. "Be a good girl and bring your papa''s body somewhere safe. Big sister is going to rest for a while before I catch up." Alannah begged and pleaded. "No big sister you can''t rest, you have to come with us!" Jasmine smiled one last time and said. "Make sure you live well for the both of us." Jasmine''s eyes grew heavy and closed as her life slipped away. The thick red cloud around Sins soul rocked. Thunder boomed within, Sin was now forcefully absorbing all of the baleful aura. His soul shocked nearly being devoured, but he wasn''t giving in, if his family was suffering how could he not? Jasmine just died in front of his eyes. His little sister died protecting his daughter when he couldn''t do it! Alannah cried when she weakly stood up, then picked Sins 190 pound body up and rested it spread out across her shoulders, Samara got control of herself and changed back to human form, and helped Alannah carry their papas body. The warriors of the Vermilion Bird Clan guarded Alannah and Samara to the best of their capabilities. This little girl had brought so much joy to everyone''s life, despite her mischievous and shit disturber like personality. Their bodies fell like dead flies, Alannah and Samara had fallen many times, but they always found the will to continue on. Their papas body was most important to them. Sins soul was on the brink of being extinguished by the Shuras killing intent. The more people he watched die, the more helpless and despair he felt. Sins eyes had become blood red, and the baleful aura wrapped around his soul. Sin had begun the process of becoming a Shura. Solarus watched all of this happening with a smile on his face. Victory was in sight, after the capital city fell here. He and his forces would move onto wiping out all life throughout the Desolate Kingdom, rebuilding this world up from scratch with his own fanatic followers. Seeing as Alannah and Samara were now alone, and nearing the end of the ''finish line'' Solarus decided now was the perfect time to crush that last string of hope completely. Solarus flashed and he reappeared in front of Alannah. "A complete High God Godhood is wasted on a little brat like you. I will rip your body apart inch by inch and absorb your Immortal Soul!"Stolen story; please report. Merala winked out of existence and reappeared behind Solarus immediately after he arrived. Nine massive flaming swords of fire appeared behind her, they sparked with currents of red lightning. Merala had activated her berserk status and her essence blood. "GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTERS!" Merala slashed down with all her might. Solarus quickly reacted that however, was not enough to fend off a momma bear protecting her cubs. Merala went on an absolute rampage using everything she had in her arsenal. [Blood Dragons Sky Path: Double Dragon Twister!] [Illusionary Sword Second Stage: Void Breaker!] [Immolating Boundary!] [Nine Heart Phoenix Blades!] [Karmic Annihilation!] Each strike landed harder than the previous, Solarus had taken each hit with a face full of glee. "Come on girl come at me with all you got. If you don''t, I will split your daughters bodies in half before your very eyes!" Solarus slashed out his weapon, sending Merala skidding backwards. Merala plunged her Sword into the earth and stopped herself after 20 meters. She had just barely stopped herself from knocking into Alannah from a full output strike. Sin went berserk, slight traces of blood red aura began emitting from his body. Sins body began heating up as his soul''s fury burned through all limitations. The bloodline calling for Sin had increased the closer his corpse was to Merala. Sins soul despite being nearly consumed, saw the future of a little girl who was his and Meralas own bloodline and love. Alannah who was exhausted had missed these subtle changes, she was frightened, staring at her mom''s weak condition. "ALANNAH GET YOUR LITTLE ASS MOVING NOW!" Meralas fury erupted the more she saw her husband''s corpse. "But mo-" "THERE IS NO TIME FOR ARGUMENTS NOW GET GOING ALREADY!" Merala flashed forward, as a symphony of ''Klang klang klang kling dang shing'' echoed out in perfect order. Merala was currently able to keep up with Solarus, but her physical condition was worsening with each clash. After fighting so hard before and getting all her injuries. Merala was quickly becoming an arrow at the end of its flight. Alannah had felt an odd wave of power surge through her body. She remembered the King who had once gifted her his sword when she was admiring it. She remembered her papa had built a decent connection, so she told directions to Samara as they ran at top speed and quickly arrived at the palace. Sin had regained clarity but the process was only half done, he was howling with all his might for Merala. But again, no matter how much effort there was nothing he could do. Fifteen minutes passed, Merala was blown back and smashed through a nearby palace. Alannah and Samara quickly ran over calling out "Mom!" Samara jumped down and began healing Merala with all her might, but it was not enough. Solarus appeared moments later. "What a nice family this is here. I almost feel bad for breaking it up, but I can assure all of you will die together and join that pathetic man very soon." Solarus then pointed his index finger at Alannah. "Except for her, that child''s Immortal Soul I will be taking with me. Man I really am a liar after all huh?" Solarus flashed forward, and Merala moved at the same time. Solarus'' hand ripped through Merala¡¯s right breast. Merala gritted her teeth as she pushed her body forward and bear hugged Solarus. Merala diverted her Mana, sending Alannah and Samara out of the palace and into the streets below. Merala¡¯s entire body glowed a golden red colour as she ignited her cultivation base, her aura exploded as a massive ball of flaming energy devoured the palace and surrounding 5 kilometers around. After the dust storm had settled down. Merala was hanging in mid air and plummeted downwards, she had sacrificed everything in one last attempt to avenge her husband, and protect her children. Steam was billowing off of her body, and Meralas life force was nearing the end of its lit fuse. Solarus came back in view looking like he was in pristine condition. He looked at Merala with moderate surprise, but that was it. "Decisive to do what you must for your children. Know that you did your best, but it wasn''t enough to stop me." Solarus walked towards Alannah, his incomplete God Hood exploded as he walked forward with a look full of mad craving. Merala watched on as she struggled to move her body. Alannah stood in front of Samara with her arms spread out. "You''re a bad man! Why must you hurt my papa and mom!?" "Your papa did it to himself, your mom made the sacrifice. How''s that got anything to do with me?" Samara stared hatefully, Solarus caught sight of it and he vanished. Alannah activated Mystic Unity but the moment she did so, her body became heavy as she drained what was remaining within her. Solarus grabbed Samara by the throat and then smashed her into the ground. "I don''t like that look in your eyes girl, fix it unless you want to die!" Samara did as she had watched her dad once do. "Harrrrk phew!" Samara horked a bloody loogie into Solarus'' face. Solarus wiped the loogie off as his face darkened and his rage blew out. Withdrawing his weapon, Solarus slashed down aiming to kill Samsara. Merala found her last and final spurt as she appeared last moment in front of Samara. The blade cut through Merala cleaving her body into two halves. Meralas blood splattered all over the two young girls and Sins corpse. Alannah and Samara cried out sorrowfully. "MOM!!!!!" At this moment a deep and powerful "Thud thud thud rumble boom!" was heard. All the blood in the capital city was like it had a mind of its own. It began raising from the ground and rushed out in a massive wave answering its sudden calling. Alannah felt the rising temperature of Sins body on her shoulders. After that she felt the weight disappear fully. What she saw next made her widen her eyes. Sin had moved so fast, even with her Godhood forcefully activated she missed every moment. Solarus had been punched out so hard he was sent spiraling backwards over 200 miles in an instant. A massive blue-white blood red column of aura blasted out of Sins body. It shot through the sky, tearing through the boundary of Desolate Kingdom and out into the vast universe. A massive killing intent billowed out, all the remaining soldiers of Solarus'' army in the universe dropped down to their knees with their heads resting on Mana platforms uncontrollably. Alannah could feel true agony, despair, hatred, hopelessness and hear Sins inner self blaming from within the column of energy. Alannah was stunned, she knew it was her papa but she was now becoming fearful of him. It was an instinctual feeling of when a predator of a higher race rating was standing right before you. Sin roared out and its shockwaves traveled across the entirety of Desolate Kingdom, all the way from his continent to the thousands of other continents. "MERALA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Within the column of energy, two blood red eyes opened up as tears of blood flowed down them. "MERALA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sin cried out many times over. Fifteen minutes passed the entire time during. Sins aura was skyrocketing, Solarus who had his entire set of Refinement Armour shattered, returned with a look of fear at the once ''dead'' man before him. Solarus could tell Sin held back all of his strength, if he hadn''t Solarus would''ve been blasted to pieces from that one punch alone. Leaving him with a complete body, but shattering his Refinement Armour was tantamount of Sin showing to Solarus, he was no longer Sins equal. The aura column disappeared, His incomplete Refinement Armour had completed its evolution. Now however, instead of it''s white-blue colour. It was completely blood red, there were mountains of corpses engraved on his Refinement armour. You could hear the wails of tortured souls, Sins aura had completely changed to one of pure savage and prehistoric rage. Sin''s figure was revealed as his hair had turned crimson red, Sin was holding the 2 separate pieces of Meralas body. He looked down at her stomach, the bloodline calling he felt was no longer there. His entire body trembled, his aura blasted out until everyone still alive within 1,500 kilometers unwillingly kneeled to the ground, with their heads placed on the earth below it. This was all except for Alannah and Samara. Alannah weakly called out with hard to hide fear in her voice. "Papa... is that you?" Sin turned his head backwards, all Alannah could see was blood tears rolling down from his scarlet eyes. Sin was no longer the papa Alannah knew so well and loved. Alannah had backed away, and held her arms spread out in front of Samara. Sin watched all of this, he flashed away and then reappeared seconds later with Jasmine''s body. He put both bodies into his Soul Container, and both their lingering souls had been split into a separate dimension within, his now ruthless cold blooded voice sounded out. "Alannah within this retains the bodies and souls of your mom and big sister. This separate formation is a surprise from papa to the both of you. Now the both of you have to get as far away from here as you can, the further the better I can only control myself for so long before my rage takes control of me!" Alannah and Samara watched their papa with unwilling eyes. Both had asked their greatest wish together "Can papa give us a hug?" Sin slowly walked over so as not to scare his two daughters. He knelt down on both knees and hugged his girls into his embrace. "Papa is sorry he was a bad man. He couldn''t protect your mother, nor could he protect his precious little girls." Alannah and Samara had no more tears to cry. They just hugged their papa as hard as they could. Sin kissed both his girls. "Now get going and return to the Wolf God Clan my little princesses. Papa will no longer be able to fight if I am worrying about the both of you in the back of my mind." Sin believed with his, Meralas and Samaras travel to the capital city, Samara would have no problem guiding Alannah back to the Wolf God Clan. Alannah and Samara unwillingly let go of their papa. But considering their papas warning, and feeling Sins worry for them, both of sisters left the capital city hand in hand. When they were away far enough, they had climbed up a mountain before falling down on their backs exhausted mentally, physically and emotionally. They laid side by side not willing to let go of each other. Unknown to them, today was the last day their papa was going to be in this part of the universe all together. They would be left alone, albeit the Wolf God Clan, Phoenix Heart and Vermilion Bird Clan would become their parents in replace of Merala and Sin. Chapter Title: The Death Of Merala Volume 2 Chapter 25 Slayer Of Evil Faction Gods [You have entered the state of being a Shura. Your body is unable to withstand the power of the Shura, until you have become strong enough to permanently become a Shura. You will be given 5 times to enter the state of a Shura minus this one, although you must pay a price. You will be given 3 hours to remain in this state, and you must sacrifice one of your 6 senses as a price to pay for the Shuras power. Which sense will you sacrifice to take effect immediately after you exit the Shura state?] Without a moment of hesitation Sin said "Sight" [You have chosen to permanently give up your Eyesight. This cannot be undone, are you sure?] A box appeared in Sins vision with "Yes and No." Sin unhesitantly clicked on the "Yes." Another log appeared within his vision. [You now have 3 hours time worth of Shuras power before you permanently lose the sense of Sight.] Sins eyes stared into Solarus'' very being, when their eyes met Solarus felt his entire soul quake and shiver in fear. His incomplete Godhood was telling him he was in danger beyond any he faced in his whole lifetime. Sin disappeared from where he was standing, before Solarus could react. Sins hand smashed into his face, as he shot through the sky entering the vast universe. Sin launched Solarus into his army, wherever he passed his own soldiers and generals would blow up into puffs of blood from the impact. Sin sucked his aura back into him, all the soldiers and generals who were previously kneeling shot up to their feet. They backed away as they held their weapons with trembling hands. Sin held Kaiser upwards, all the sabers, swords, katanas, flew out of their owners sheathes as they hovered behind Kaiser. Sins emotionless voice sounded out as Kaiser thrummed in excitement. "Feeding off the fury and vengeance I bring, cutting loose the chains placed upon me. Walking in Desolate Kingdom, I''m lord of the blades." Sin cleaved Kaiser down and a crimson wave shot out. Wails of screams and pain resounded out, the weaker soldiers and generals flesh melted off their bodies, whereas the stronger ones were able to put up a weak defense that was easily broken through. Sin stabbed Kaiser into 4 separate columns of blood red aura. Sliding one leg back, and positioning his upper body forward with Kaisers edge aiming straight. Kaiser erupted into a baleful crimson scarlet beam of energy. Sin flashed into the fleeing soldiers and ruthlessly swung his Sword down. [Shuras Blade Of Upheaval!] "Blood on the floor reaping these souls. Next week its my name they be writing in the scrolls." Sins Bloody Battlefield Totem manifested as over 50,000 spirits had entered into a purgatory of suffering. Sin used [Nine Life Steps] when he reappeared, there were numerous spines still attached to heads. The bodies fell into the endless void below. "King of archaic slaughter, take a knife through the heart. Drunk off the blood bath i''m losing control." Sin flashed out of existence, with daggers in both hands. Sin stabbed through the hearts of 20,000 in a matter of seconds. Their souls flew into the Bloody Battlefield Totem, it hungrily devoured them as it permanently left a blood red portal open waiting for its follow up meals. "Devastation, annihilation, exhilaration from this mindless bloodshed." A blood red crescent moon hung high in the universe. It revealed a mouth full of razor sharp teeth and abyss black eyes as the baleful moonlight poured down. All who had come in contact with the moonlight began roaring like savage beasts, they grabbed whatever weapons they had in their possession and stabbed them through their own hearts. [Life Devouring Crescent Moon!] "Blood in my veins, my heart started pacing. Soul still numb from the lives I''ve taken, one day soon see the sky slashed open." Sin amalgamated Mystic Sorcery with his Shura technique. Sin bit the tips of both thumbs, crimson and white-blue energy merged together perfectly while Sin began writing out various seals and hieroglyphics. By the time Sin was done, there was a pentagram left in his wake. There was a tear in the void as thunder boomed, a blood red cross manifested as lighting shot down onto it. Sin then pooled all of his Mystic Energy into it, intensifying the glow and power it radiated. The aura continued until it reached its peak, it shot out a glob of condensed lightning as Sin absorbed it into his body. Lighting surged out of Sins body with frightening power, Sins blood red eyes glowed with lightning. Both of Sins hands rested on the sheathed, and hilt of the sheathed Kaiser. Sin flashed about so fast, twenty continuously moving after images of Sin ran through the crowd, forming a thunder bolt diagram in the void of the universe. Sin withdrew his blade and slashed out 20 times in a millisecond. [Shuras Mystic Sorcery: Lightning Grand Cross!] Blood red lightning sparked out annihilating the remaining of Solarus'' forces. 2,000,000 Souls found their new home in the Bloody Battlefield Totem. Sin breathed out as intense lighting spewed out of his mouth. "Blood rain colours the void crimson, eyes blood red. Sanity up in flames, forsaken my humanity, leaving calamity in my wake!" All that remained was Solarus who stared stiffly in place. Solarus gulped as sweat covered his entire body, when he felt like imminent death was approaching him 30 overwhelming pressures similar, and stronger than his own tore through the void. Solarus heard a cocky feminine voice sound out. "Yo Solarus, it looks like this brat made your cock shrivel up in fright!" Solarus'' fury was ignited, but knowing his place was way below the women who had arrived, he had no choice and kept himself in check. A woman stepped out of the void, she was wearing pristine white shrine maiden robes. Her black hair was done up help by a phoenix feather. She had enticing light purple eyes that could draw out any mans lust. She floated her way over to Sin, then she knelt her body forward with one hand held up underneath her chin. Her mountainous breasts popped out of the loose fitting robes she was wearing. "Hey there sexy man, could you let Solarus off the hook? He owes me various debts and is truly no use to me dead. If you''re so kind as to let him live, I will show you how good I am in bed." The woman provocatively rose her robes, revealing her body to Sin in full display. Sin looked at her once, then he flashed out of existence. The womens look turned sour as she vanished and reappeared meeting fist for fist with Sin as massive booms sounded out. Sin grabbed her by her arm pulling her forward, his left fist rocked itself into her abdomen. The women was quick and equipped her Refinement Armour immediately. That however, in the next second was shattered as she was sent barreling backwards, with a massive whole through her abdomen. Sin then appeared before Solarus and reached out with a open hand and clasped Solarus head within his palm. Sin then applied massive pressure as Solarus head burst like a watermelon within his grasp. Sin absorbed Solarus'' Incomplete Godhood into his bag, then he kicked over his corpse to the women. "Here''s your fucking debt, now get the fuck out of here before I kill every last one of you!" Sins bellow boomed like a clap of thunder, the ears of the newly arrived Gods went deaf for many seconds until they recovered. Their eyes revealed pure and utter shock. "What the hell!? A level 13 human who is merely of the Mystic Blade Disciple Class, is this much of a powerhouse already!?" A man voiced out and answered everyone''s disbelief. "You''ve got it wrong, that man has become the same Shura who wreaked havoc hundreds of thousands of years ago. Except he is different, he has only become a Shura under extreme conditions, he still has emotions, heart and a soul."Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon. Sin slashed out a crimson wave of Sword Qi into the crowd, all of them quickly dispersed not willing to test their luck after seeing what happened to their companion. "I will give all of you one chance. Get the fuck out of here if you don''t want to die!" Sins cold words echoed out, he let his aura rush out once more. The weaker gods had inevitably kneeled down powerlessly before the authority of a Shura. The stronger ones managed to stay standing. However, their bodies were quickly drenched with sweat. "This is impossible, how can a Shura still exist within this time? What the hell are the tribulation gods doing sucking on their thumbs, and not erasing this mother fucker from existence?" "3!" Sin counted aloud, seeing as none of them had fucked off like he had ordered, Sin appeared before one of the gods. He slashed his hand down and cleaved through the God, destroying his soul and Godhood with pure physical strength. "2!" This time many of them begun having self doubt. They were gods, but they were incapable of handling the pressure of this newly created Shura who stood before them. "1!" Sin stood in place this time, he had made his point clear. If they still didn''t fuck off, all of them would be staying as corpses today. "You truly have guts that know how to reach the boundless abyss!" The woman Sin had injured previously had returned fully healed. She had her Refinement Armour equipped, and this time summoned her Refinement Weapon. "You have pissed me the hell off!" She roared flashing towards Sin consumed by her own wrath. She slashed down with all of her might, and ignited the ability of time and space of her Godhood. Time froze and the entire void locked Sin inside of a infinite-time prison. Her weapon cleaved downwards with tremendous might, then Sin yawned covering his mouth with one hand, and broke the belief of everyone present. Even within the time prison, Sin reached out and caught the tip of the blade between his thumb, index and middle finger. Sin applied pressure and shattered the Refinement Weapon into pieces, the backlash was immediate as the female Gods look instantly paled. Sin no longer put any of his attention on her, he looked at the rest of the crowd and then said. "0!" All of the Gods present were frightened, Sins aura had completely locked down the spatial, and time elements of the universe. They were unable to escape, the only way they could was by burning their Godhood transporting with a heavy price. None of them were willing to do so as recovering their Godhood would take millions of years. This left them in a crippled state, where even passing debris could injure them without the protection of their Godhood. The remaining alive Gods gathered together, all of them ignited their berserk states, Refinement Armour/Weapons, burned their essence blood and pooled all their power into the strongest being of their group. The man stepped forward as he voiced out his decree. " I, Halmaza of the Devouring Ouroboros Gods Association will take you on. With the might of us remaining Gods, I refuse to be bested by a mere half-ass Shura who is only in this state for a limited amount of time!" Sin looked at Halmaza before he let out a loud yawn as if he seemed bored. The power radiating off of him alone was already shattering the void from just standing in an attack stance. This greatly humiliated Halmaza and the remaining Gods, but Sin definitely had the power to backup his condescending attitude. Halmaza charged forward using various techniques that he knew. [Ouroboros Devours The Sun!] [Immortal Souls Remorse!] [Thunder Dragon Clapping The Heavens!] [Ouroboros Swordsmanship Fifth Form: Black Swallow!] [Midnight Cherry Blossom Dance!] Sin raised his arm and tapped his pinky finger on each of Halmazas attacks. Each full powered attack was mitigated the moment Sin jabbed out with it. After Halmazas attacks had been neutralized, Sin vanished from his position appearing in-between Halmazas stance. Sin rolled his middle finger into the middle of his thumb, then he flicked Halmaza on the forehead. Halmaza was shot backwards from the impact, crashing into the remaining Gods as they all paled receiving many minor and severe wounds. Sin then appeared before all of them with his hands crossed behind his back. "All of you can die knowing that you did the best you could, but it was not good enough to stop me!" Sin raised his bare hand high into the sky. Sins image in the Gods vision became like one of the legendary mortals from the beginning of time. Sin cleaved downwards with his hand as slow as a snail, but no matter how Halmaza and the others fought back. They could not escape Sins aura that locked down the surrounding area. Sins bare hand cut through the protective shield of Halmaza and the others instantly. [Thunder Lords Descent!] The resulting impact shattered the very being of time and space itself. Sin flashed away, resisting the strong suction force of the tiny black hole forming from the aftermath of his attack. All of the Gods had been wiped out of existence. Sins Thunder Lords Descent had severed each of their sequence structures. Their Godhood, and Souls were also severed by Sins might, if there was anything remaining it would''ve been sucked into the black hole. Sin raised his hand and covered the black hole with his Mana, closing it forcefully until the surrounding area returned back to normal. Afterwards Sin had a log appear in his vision. [Congratulations! You have earned the title Slayer Of Gods. All Gods of the evil faction will fear you, their blood has stained your hands and serve as warning for such future foolishness. Besides, who stated mortals couldn''t kill Gods? I sure as hell didn''t!] [You have claimed the lives of over 30 gods supporting the Evil faction, and who were ruled under the Demon Lord. Your merits have been recorded by the higher beings. The Martial Hall within your being has been upgraded from the Master rank, to the Saint Rank. It has also received the unique characteristics of Primordial Chaos, and Major Destruction. All who are inside, can feel and begin to derive techniques from the higher energies.] After Sin had finished reading his log, he had felt the meager aura of his master in the nearby area. Sin flashed into the void at breakneck speeds locking onto his masters weak aura. Within 1 minute, Sin crossed over 75,000 miles. When he arrived at his destination, he saw his master in her true form. All of her dragon scales had been ripped off, golden blood was dropping from her body. Sin felt his masters life essence was completely burned up, she was as weak as a leaf and would die from a fatal attack at any given second. Then Sin had noticed Catherine and Obsidian, both of them were in equally as bad shape as his master. Although he didn''t know who they were, he could feel the tactical synergy between the three of them. All Sin knew is they were aiding his master, and that was enough for him to act. Sin flashed toward the body of Adria, this time he erupted with all the power of the Shura. When he was fighting the gods earlier he felt no stress whatsoever, but from this unknown provocative and lust ridden women. Sin felt like there was a hand gripping around his throat, what was worse he could feel the deep injuries within her. This unknown woman had done this much damage, while being deathly injured. [Shuras Death Palm] A blood red palm shot out, it had engravings of long lost Ancient Beasts, and the depictions of a Immortal world on fire from the devastation of this single attack. The Demon Lord had reacted immediately and held her weapon sideways, the Shuras Death Palm clashed with the weapon sparks flew everywhere. Sin took this moment to flash three times, picking up Catherine, Obsidian and his master and flew away as far as he could. Within seconds of his escape, he heard the annoyed sound of the Demon Lord. "Aww shit that''s no fun, don''t tell my Solarus and the others had been killed already. FUCK! Solarus was the best at fucking compared to every other sex slave I have under me. You will pay for killing my number one sex toy boy!" The Demon Lord appeared behind Sin and let out a devastating attack. Sin sucked his master, Catherine and Obsidian into his Heart World as he fended off the attack. Sin was blasted backwards over 10,000 miles from a single attack of this deathly injured woman. Sin spit out a mouthful of blood with chunks of organs in it. This one simple attack would have claimed his life if he hadn''t defended himself in time. The Mystic Blade Empress worriedly transmitted her voice to Sin. "Disciple run away now! It doesn''t matter how strong you are since temporarily becoming a Shura! That''s the Demon Lord who had killed my father 350,000 years ago. She is also the only TRUE Immortal in this lower domain, despite her deathly injuries. Myself and the other two old fucks were nearly killed when we were fighting at tip top condition." Sin took his masters warning to heart as he pushed his power to the limit and escaped with all he had. The Demon Lord was in hot pursuit, Sin fought her off while defending himself the best he could. Despite activating both Implosion and Destruction, Sin was still much more weaker and incapable of fully protecting himself. In a mere 5 minutes, Sin had been as badly injured as he was before Solarus killed him the first time. Sin felt three waves of power gush out of him, as the Mystic Blade Empress, Catherine and Obsidian escaped broke out of his Heart World without damaging him. They had just enough time to catch their breath and refuel up. "Yere not bad kiddo! I can feel the bloodline of Shenzi runs inside of you. I swear on me name, an'' oath made to Shenzi, I will protect your life no matter what!" Catherine eyed Sin up and down, she was more cold hearted but she nodded in approval of Sin. She too felt the bloodline of Shenzi, the one man she had truly loved was running through Sins being. "Sin, I am going to impart you all of the Mystic Sorcery I have created up to the Grand Master Rank. Let us take care of this bitch! All you have to do is support us, if all three of us die no matter what you have to do. You MUST run away, the Demon Lord has only truly feared my father when he was alive. With her knowing you have his bloodline in you, she will not stop at anything to erase your very existence!" The Demon Lord appeared in front of them, this time she was solely focused on Sin. "Oh hoh this is a real treat! You have Shenzi''s bloodline, how did I not erase that damnable bastards bloodline out of existence for good. That mother fuckers spirit must have managed to cling onto his bullshit love for his wife, and daughter to survive in that state. No matter, you''re here in front of me today and you WILL die!" Within moments, Sin had obtained over 1,500 new Mystic Sorcery Spells imparted to him. But just like as he was a Shura right now, they were temporary and wouldn''t remain in his repertoire of abilities, that was of course until he learned them all on his own capability. Volume 2 Chapter 26 Goodbye My Precious Daughters Sin looked at his master, Catherine and Obsidian. Kaiser appeared in his hands, this time at the end of hilt there was a long white-blue Mystic bandage flapping in the wind caused by Sins aura. Sin had activated Mystic Unity, and then his Mystic Energy began forming a layer around his body. Sins body was covered by a thick fog of Mystic Energy, after a minute of preparation Sins figure was revealed. The blade of Kaiser had extended in length by 5 inches, and its thickness increased by 3 inches. Blood red Mystic Energy infused wings were connected by a singular loop attached to Kaiser. There was a massive black and white half moon crescent blade on top of Sins shoulders, a design of a coiling dragon was empty as the surrounding universal essence flowed into it, slowly filling up the coiling dragon. Sins aura expanded as a black-red cloak hung below his crescent blade, Sins Refinement Armour had combined with this new technique he had been holding back on using. Within 30 minutes, Sins entire foundation and cultivation he had built so far was being sacrificed to supply his current state. Mystic Blade Empress looked at her disciple with shocked eyes. "What the fuck are you doing, you idiot! Are you trying to purposely cripple yourself!?" Sins eyes became devoid as his semi-emotion filled voice sounded out full of melancholy. "My fate no longer matters to me after this fight, I couldn''t protect my wife. I watched helplessly in a state that crossed the boundaries of life and death, as my wife and little sister were killed before my very own Soul. I have covered all of my bases, even if I am crippled, there will be a cloned being of myself to fulfill my role as the Wolf King, and father to both of my daughters." Sin flashed three separate times, his palm touched the right breast of Obsidian, Catherine, and his own master. Their power was sucked out of their own body without them able to control it. It flooded into Sin multiplying his current state by several folds. Sin slashed Kaiser down, the entire void had been shattered from Sins casual slash. The Demon Lord looked on with eyes full of battle lust towards Sin. Sin looked back with equal amounts of battle lust, if not greater than the Demon Lords. Sin shot forward and slashed out Kaiser 2,500 times in a split second. "klang klang klang kling dang" sounded out in harmony as Sin and the Demon Lord clashed with each other. Both acted like they were mirrored images of each other, their bodies flashed as they responded to each attack the exact same way. Their legs met in mid air forming a X, their fists smashed into each others guts, both had smashed their elbows down on each others head drawing blood. Neither of the two warriors backed away, if either showed a momentary weakness that was all it would take to kill the other. Their weapons blazed into two scorching infernos, the temperature became one mixed of extreme heat, and one of extreme cold. The flames clashed as so did their owners. The Demon Lord revealed a pleasant smile. "Three Sacred Flames on one body, that is very impressive. Not even my greatest rival had this kind of strength during his foundation period!" Sin combined his Sacred Flames into a single entity, with his borrowed power from his master, Catherine and Obsidian, he was able to push all three of them up to Tier 7 and reached a perfect combination between them. Sins aura bellowed out, his hands moved into rhythmic motions and began forming seals, symbols, sutras, diagrams and pentagrams. The Mystic Energy exploded into the surrounding, as a white-blue ancient gate formed in mid air. The gates flung open, and a primordial energy leaked out. Sin who had gained the feeling of the Universal energy after his Vermilion Bird Refinement Armour integrated with his soul, combined the two energies. The moment both energies touched each other, blood gushed out like a waterfall from Sins ears, eyes, mouth, and nose. Sin struggled as he was barely holding onto the massive energy of mass destruction. Sin pushed Mystic Unity beyond his capability and suffered a slight backlash from it. Sin formed the energy into a pillar, it began reshaping into the shape of a holy woman praying. The energy shot down in the condensed form of a lotus. [Grand Master Mystic Sorcery: Songs Of Arias Lotus Prayers!] The Demon Lords body hugged the void, unable to move. The lotus drifted forward towards her, and consumed her in a massive explosion that broke the void. Sin flashed away with his master and the others, after the vast disturbance in the void disappeared. The Demon Lord was wiping slight traces of blood from her lips. "Good, very good! I haven''t felt this excited for ages. Come at me with more techniques, you still have 29 minutes left, don''t you dare bore me just yet!" The crescent blade on Sins shoulders was slowly filling in, Sin was beginning to fear that he wouldn''t be able to fully fill it up before he died, or ran out of time. Flashing forward Sin began using tens of various techniques, sonic booms exploded out from the aftermath. No matter how desperately he fought, Sin was incapable of dealing any real harm to the Demon Lord. Fifteen minutes passed, Sins entire body was like a boiled lobster. Steam was emitting from off of his body, his power was starting to show clear signs of diminishing. The coiling dragon was only a quarter of the way filled, there was no possible way he would make it into his second form at this rate. Sin had a fluke idea, but he decided to push it to the mettle. While trading blows, Sin would purposely allow himself to get injured. This proved his theory was passable, as the coiling dragon had filled up much faster. After reaching a third of the way full, Sin was able to access a new technique. The crescent blade on his shoulders started smoking, the Shura Mystic Wings tightly hugged Kaisers blade. Sins aura exploded, and for the first time the Demon Lords eyebrows furrowed a little bit. Sin let out a breath mixed with lightning and frost. [Dragon Deity First Stage: Dance Of The Imperial Dragon!] Sin shot forward as he clashed with the Demon Lord, this time the unexpected happened giving hope to his master, Catherine and Obsidian. The Demon Lord lost the struggle of power, she was pushed backwards and had a massive cleave nearly severing her body in half. For the last 15 minutes, they watched powerlessly as Sin held the outcome of this fight. After desperately consuming all their pills and various treasures, they had regained to full output and rejoined Sin. Mystic Blade Empress stood with her back up against Sins. Her firm and confident voice eased Sins worries. "Follow my lead my disciple, we will finish this as master and disciple!" Mystic Blade Empress converged all of her power into a single unity shared between her and Sin. Sins mind calmed as he felt the improved effects of his Mystic Soul, and Mystic Unity stage. This shed some light how to further develop these unique states, but Sin didn''t have the time to delve deeper into it. Master and disciple charged forward as one being, one sword. [Shuras Divine Mystic Sorcery: Lightning Grand Cross!] The Demon Lord was blasted backwards and her body blew up into gory bits. However, she quickly regenerated and laughed maniacally. Sin and Mystic Blade Empress charged forward giving it their very all, five minutes passed and Sins coiling dragons was two thirds full. Master and disciple performed the next stage with perfect unity. [Dragon Deity Second Stage: Dragons Wuthering Blade Fortress!] When both attacks had clashed in mid center, Mystic Sorcery, Shura Energy and the Demon Lords Demonic Energy erupted into a massive column of energy. A massive tree of various glowing energies formed with Sin, Mystic Blade Empress and Demon Lord as the catalyst. Both were fighting for complete domination over the other, Sin smashed his head forward into the Demon Lords face. Their heads bashed against each other uttering a loud "Thud!" Sin operated his Mana quickly forming a pair of hands with a spare weapon. Sins Mana hands withdrew the spare with the speed of lightning.This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. [Illusionary Sword Third Stage: Lightning Column Devastation!] [Four Paths Vanquishers Blade!] [Blood Dragons Fire Path: Midday Solar Rain!] [Shuras Karmic Blade Of Separation!] [Blood Dragons Water Path: Riveting Rain!] Sins Mana operated on full output, using all the techniques he could handle while splitting his attention. Sin and Mystic Blade Empress clashed weapons with the Demon Lord again with a combination of Thunder Lords Descent, and Impose World Rending Annihilation. The coiling dragon on Sins crescent blade had finally maxed out. Sin was nearing the end of his line, and it had arrived at the perfect time. Sin and the Demon Lord separated from each other, the Shuras Mystic Energy wings, and the crescent blade transformed into bandages as they wrapped around the hilt of Kaiser and Sins arms. Sin heard the sound of all his bones snapping and breaking under the intense pressure put upon his body. But as he had entered the state of a Shura, all pain and emotions were nonexistent. [Emperors Blade Transformation!] Sin, Mystic Blade Empress, and their combined Soul Weapons transformed their very being into one unity. Sin stepped out of the column of light, his body was radiating the golden Qi of an Emperor. Plasma sparked across his very being, his long hair fluttered in the wind created by his Aura alone. The surrounding 75,000 miles of the void was broken from Sins single step as he arrived in front of the Demon Lord. [Dragon Deity Third Stage: Eternal Blade Of Impenitence!] When Sin and the Demon Lords weapon clashed, time had stopped across Mystic Kingdom and the entire Scion Milkyway. A massive explosion sounded out, the aftermath had destroyed various uninhabited stars, planets, and galaxies within Scion Milkyway. Sins form unleashed its full power in his final strike. The backlash from the overwhelming strike had sent Sin flying backwards. He forcefully defused with Mystic Blade Empress and her Soul Weapon. Sins body flew backwards at insane speeds without control. Sin blasted through the void, and smashed into the back mountain of the Wolf God Clan. Alannah and Samara who had just arrived at the Wolf God Clan, due to the thanks of the King of capital city, saw their papa being blasted backwards into the mountain. A massive "BOOM" blasted out deafening everyone within the Wolf God Clan. "PAPA!!!!!" Both girls screamed as they charged towards Sins direction. Moments after that, a suffocating Demonic Aura exploded as the Demon Lord appeared in the sky above the Wolf God Clan. Sin shot through the rubble, his entire body was in worse shape compared to the time he died at Solarus hands. Sin appeared in front of the Wolf God Clan as he bellowed out to his entire clan. He sent out the seed of his now Saint Rank Martial Hall, it sprouted within moments. "No matter what all of you are doing, you must enter the Martial Hall immediately! If you don''t I will not be able to protect your lives!" Sin then sent his request to Mystic Blade Empress who arrived seconds later in hand with Obsidian and Catherine. "Please go and gather the members of the Phoenix Heart Clan, Vermilion Bird Clan and bring them here. No matter what the price is, cover Phoenix Cry City, and the Vermilion Bird Clans compounds and send it into your own personal world. Whatever I have left behind here will be used to pay my debt!" Catherine and Obsidian both received a map from Sin as they shot out into two separate directions. The Demon Lord was growing tired of waiting, she rose her hand up into the air and condensed all of her Demon Aura into a massive ball of destructive energy. The universal energy and surrounding Mana of the entire Scion Milkyway rushed into it, quickly expanding to the size of the entirety of Desolate Kingdom. "Master please do your best and protect the foundation of the Wolf God Clan! I will not lose to this stupid fucking bitch!" Sin shot forward, he ignited the remaining energy within his body for one last decisive move. Mystic Blade Empress did as she was told, then she felt a deep connection from somewhere in the Wolf God Clan calling her. This was the bloodline of Shenzi, her father and also the ancestor of the Wolf God Clan. Locking onto where the calling came from, Mystic Blade Empress flashed away and retrieved a broken Sword Fragment. She couldn''t explain why there was such indestructible power radiating from this broken Sword fragment. But it would truly prove as a last fatal attack used against the Demon Lord. Catherine and Obsidian had returned moments later. They showed clear signs of exhaustion and fainted the moment they arrived, Sin sent them and everyone present into the Saint Rank Martial Hall without explanation. The Demon Lord waved her hand downwards as the ball of destructive Demon Aura shot downwards. Sins aura erupted one last time, he didn''t know where he had gained this sudden surge of immortal like power. But he charged forward right into the Demon Aura Ball. Sin spread his arms out in a protective stance above the Wolf God Clan. Sin burned every ounce of strength from his genes, bloodline, essence blood, and activated Implosion and Destruction. "I WILL NOT FAIL TO PROTECT THE LIVES OF MY DAUGHTERS!" Sin bellowed like an Immortal God who just descended with overwhelming Aura to the lower domains. The ball of Demon Aura smashed down heavily onto Sins body, Sins Aura blasted out pushing it back with the might of his existence. The lives of millions relying on him, revenge for Merala, and most important of all, to protect his daughters! Tens of minutes passed in the blink of an eye, Alannah who was created from Sins and Meralas bloodline felt the weak and nearly given up Sin. Even with all of his might, and the will to protect those millions of lives, Sin was at his breaking point and could hold on no longer. Defying all the odds, Alannah snuck away with Samara under the watchful eyes of Mystic Blade Empresses Mana. Alannah and Samara came to the gate below, they watched as their papa was like an immortal giant hugging the ball of Demonic Aura. Alannah and Samaras voice broke through the collision of Sin and the destructive ball. "PAPA!!!! We already lost mom, we cant lose you too!" The voice reached Sin, although being a Shura, the reminder of Meralas death pained him. Sin fell into despair, as a Shura it was IMPOSSIBLE to feel emotions. But he, a incomplete Shura felt deep sadness and unwillingness to live on anymore. This had spurred a sudden reaction from his Blood Dragon Sword Methods. For the longest time, Sin was stuck outside of the conquerors path, unable to truly combine all 6 paths together. This time Sins Sword Qi exploded out like a nuclear bomb. Kaiser flew out of its sheathe with eyes full of excitement. Kaiser hovered behind Sin and communicated. "Father, let us cut this ball of bullshit in half!" The previous Emperor Aura that radiated out from Sins Emperor Blade Transformation, roared out of Sins being as he fully stepped through the Conquerors stage of his Sword Methods at this last and final moment. [Blood Dragons Path Of Conquerors: Six Paths Of Purgatory!] A crescent beam of Sword Qi sliced the ball of Demonic Aura in half, Sin slashed out again as his Mana and Emperor Aura condensed around the two halves and suppressed it. Sin flashed towards the Demon Lord, his Emperor Aura and Conqueror Aura combined for one final strike. [Blood Dragons Conqueror Paths: Solitary Blade Ninth Moon!] The Sword Qi overwhelmed the Demon Lord, it reminded her of the inevitable demise from her peak, when fighting Shenzi 350,000 years ago. The Demon Lord flew into insanity, she had felt the threat of death from this slash, just as Shenzi had done to her. The Demon Lord was cut in half, a magnificent moon had appeared for the first and last time in the history of Desolate Kingdom. The void was slashed through entirely, Sin had unknowingly severed the spatial boundaries of Desolate Kingdom with this final attack. Sins body was falling out of the sky, and plummeting into the massive void below him. Sin fought against his own conscious will and body shutting itself down. He looked lovingly, and longingly at both Alannah and Samara one last time. Sin was able to fight off the weak feeling, he threw out everything he had on him, including his Dimensional Bag which contained all his remaining goodies from the Merit Point Shop. Sin in the last moment before falling unconscious, reached out his hands in Alannahs and Samaras direction. Sins weak voice full of guilt and pain sounded out. "Goodbye my precious daughters. I''m sorry I couldn''t protect your mother and big sister." Sins emotional agony from Jasmines and Meralas deaths, the backlash of exiting the Shura state, and all the pain and injuries he gathered knocked him unconscious. The severe state of his own emotions, forced Sins Soul into a state of hibernation. It was unknown if one day, Sins soul would ever heal itself from the pain of losing the woman who healed his broken heart, and little sister he once again failed to protect. Sin could forever remain a vegetable, floating in the space of his own self wallowing for all of eternity. Mystic Blade Empress watched on powerlessly as she watched her treasured disciple fall into the void unconsciously. She roared out with a fury that was no less greater than she felt when her Father was killed by the Demon Lord. "First it was my father, and now it is my treasured disciple!" The Mystic Blade Empress went berserk as she appeared with the broken Immortal Sword Fragment. Her aura fluctuated as she forced her tier up one rank and used God Rank Mystic Sorcery, activating the Immortal Sword Fragment. [Mystic Sorcery God Rank: Reaper Of The Soul Realm!] The Immortal Sword Fragment hued in Mystic Energy, its long since broken spirit had appeared, it looked at Mystic Blade Empress hard and long before it accepted her. All restraint she felt on the Immortal Sword Fragment against her disappeared. Knowledge flooded into her mind, then she used one last technique before falling unconscious from multiple overdrafts. [Immortal Destroyer Wolf First Stage: Dance Of The Rampaging Alpha!] The Demon Lord had received both of Mystic Blade Empresses rage filled strikes, she had finally shown signs of no longer regenerating. She stared on wrathfully at Alannah and Samara, if it weren''t for these two brats. Sin would have died, and she wouldn''t be injured from his last full powered slash. The Demon Lord weakly declared in fury from her injuries and setbacks. "HUMPH! This doesn''t change the end game, all of you have managed to buy the Human race, and other races another 40 years of peace before I enslave every race that''s not a Demon. You now have 50 years to bring another sapling to the light, with as much potential as Sin had to fight me, and finally put an end to the ongoing grudge between the Humans and Demons." Volume 3 Chapter 1: Four Months In the blink of an eye, four months had passed since Sin killed 30 Evil Faction Gods, and also had a huge part in pushing back the already deathly injured Demon Lord. Mystic Blade Empress, Catherine, and Obsidian had fully healed their wounds within this time. Just like Sin had once said. "Whatever I leave behind will pay off my debts." The three of them were truly shocked, Sin left behind a Saint Rank Martial Hall, which was even beneficial to them at their current near transcendent power. That was how they recovered so fast. At this point of time, Alannah and Samara who were originally two bright balls of sunshine. Had long since become dampened, their appetites were gone, they hadn''t eaten for four days straight. Their bellies were rumbling, but they couldn''t forget about their mother or papa, those two loving people who gave them the world, the best food, unconditional love and played with them. Alannah and Samara had become inseparable from each other, no matter how anybody tried. The only outcome was the wrath of two little devil queens. During this period of time, the Soulless Body Formation had completed four days after Sin was unconsciously sucked into the void. Alannah and Samara who were both connected to Sins bloodline felt the sudden surge, their lifeless eyes showed hope, longing, and deep sadness at the same time. The Soulless Body Formation blasted out of Alannahs God World within her body. It hovered in front of both Samara and Alannah, it exuded the Mystic Energy they had long since become used to. However, there was a slight difference, the personality was colder, darker, and emotionless, but they still felt the same fatherly love from Sin as they are from this new aura. Midnight Reaper had been given a physical body, he had the exact same features of Sin, voice, eyes, hair, strength, class, profession, stats, but he was only level 1. Despite this, all of his abilities were the exact same replica of Sins, he even had the exact same three Sacred Flames of Sin, which were soul-bonded to Sins very soul. This would make sense, since Midnight Reaper was a being created from Sins soul. Alannah and Samara looked on with wide eyes, they began sobbing as their loud exclaim had shocked the Wolf God Clan into an extreme state of euphoric relief. "PAPA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Moments later, Lan bursted through the doors like the kool-aid man. Days prior, he watched his cherished master make the ultimate sacrifice. All the elders of the Wolf God Clan and Zenith flashed into Alannahs and Samaras compound. The injured Mystic Blade Empress, Catherine and Obsidian temporarily stopped their recovery process due to their curiosity and extreme shock. All the major heads of the Wolf God Clan, Phoenix Heart Clan, and Vermilion Bird Clan rushed in shortly after. The three clans had become one big unity, they were allies since time immemorial of Shenzi''s time. They had become further closer with each other, practically becoming one big family with the same goals and thoughts, instead of separated allies but were working together because of similar interests. "PAPA!" "Disciple! "Sin!" "Master!" "Wolf King!" Everyone looked on in pure and utter glee. Their presumed to be dead Wolf King, papa, master, and disciple was now standing right in front of them. However, they quickly came to realize after their extreme excitement, Sins aura had slight differentials compared to the original Sin they were so accustomed to. Midnight Reaper raised his hands, and bursted out with the newly combined Emperor Aura, and Blood Dragons Conqueror Aura Sin had created last minute before disappearing into the void. "All the elders of the Wolf God Clan, Vermilion Bird, and Phoenix Heart Clan. I would kindly ask all of you to listen to what I have to say very carefully. Master, Obsidian and Catherine, I am aware the three of you can sense the differences in my aura. I will further explain this point. That however, must be done when everyone is in a calm emotional state, and will believe their Wolf King''s words!" Mystic Blade Empress, Catherine and Obsidian were the first ones to catch the meaning in-between Midnight Reapers words. Everyone took the time as their Wolf King had said they should. During this period of time, Midnight Reaper came in front of Kirala. He looked deeply into her eyes, Kirala couldn''t explain it. But she saw such a horrendous soul devouring pain within Midnight Reapers eyes. It was indescribable, but it was similar to what she has been feeling since powerlessly watching Merala die. Midnight Reaper got down onto both knees, kowtowing for 5 minutes straight. After his body was covered in his own blood from head to toe. Midnight Reaper apologized with a voice full of pain. "Kirala, I am sorry I wasn''t able to protect Merala. If you so please to kill me after I get the Wolf God Clan on the right tracks, and our three clans truly become one single unity, you may. However, now is not the time as we have much to do starting today." Midnight Reaper stood up, then he revealed his real looks he had occupied after he was created from Sins despair and pain back on earth. "This is my real look. While I have the exact same aura, class, profession, personality, abilities, stats, and emotions as Sin. On a fundamental level I am not Sin. But that doesn''t mean, I will run off. I was at one point and time a second personality created by Sins deep despair and pain. However, after we were transported from Earth to this world known as Desolate Kingdom, I was turned into a Soul that was shared with Sins. As you see me now, Sin had used his Merit Points to buy that Soulless Body Formation that I just came out of." Everyone had looks of deep shock, this man standing before him was their Wolf King, but he also wasn''t at the same time. Lan looked on with indescribable feelings to describe, but if there was one thing he was certain of. This man standing before him was still his Master, despite the new change to his aura. Mystic Blade Empress stared at Midnight Reaper with deeper clarity, she could feel the Mystic Blade Disciple Seed in Midnight Reaper, the exact same she transplanted into Sins body. This man was her disciple who happened to be a separate personality, then became a portion of the soul with her real disciple who was now long gone. "I cannot assure you all, or get rid of all your disbelief within moments from a simple explanation. I however, will use my actions to prove to you all. I can tell you this now though, as I am a part of Sins soul, he is in a current state of ''hibernation.'' The pain, and despair he felt from losing Merala and Jasmine was a shock to OUR very soul. His part went into a similar state of being a vegetable as a defense mechanism." "Myself and Sin are very close brothers, you all can call me Midnight Reaper. Back on earth, me and Sin were the number one assassin, and then we became the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team Leader. We danced with our lives on the line, but we always made it out alive. We were able to swap positions, when one was severely injured, the other would take over until we eventually got out of every hopeless situation alive." "The point that I am trying to make is, I will not let my good brothers clan and allies fall apart. Nor am I any different from him, when his part of our Soul wakes up, we will be able to switch places with each other just like we did back on Earth. Meaning Sin will still be able to rule as Wolf King from my body, even when he''s not here in his own physical body."You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story. Midnight Reaper then looked at Alannah and Samara. He ruffled both of their hairs affectionately. "And you my little princesses, you better start eating and taking care of yourselves. You wouldn''t want your papa to see you in such a sad state would you?" The two girls quickly felt the same love from Midnight Reaper, as they do from Sin. Both of them walked over and sat on both sides of Midnight Reaper. "Yes uncle Midnight Reaper, papa would not want to see us like this." Both girls said in unison. "Very good, I know that I am not a complete exchange for your papa. But to me, you''re my most precious nieces who hold the highest spot in my heart. I hope that you will forgive your uncle for not being able to do more to protect Sin and Merala." Midnight Reaper issued out his series of orders left behind in his Soul from Sin. Before the elders of each clan were about to leave. Midnight Reapers voice sounded out. "Before I forget to mention, all of what everyone present has heard is meant ONLY for the ears of those present here today. To all the members of the Wolf God Clan, Vermilion Bird Clan and Phoenix Heart Clan. I am the exact same Sin as I was during the time we helped Phoenix Heart Clan, and the time I came back to solidify the Wolf God Clan. I am also the same person who shared residence with the Vermilion Bird Clan in the capital city. The entire Wolf God Clan, Vermilion Bird and Phoenix Heart Clan began their process of integrating with each other. Obsidian and Catherine had left, while Kirala, Mystic Blade Empress, Alannah, Samara and Lan stayed behind. They all shared their thoughts, emotions, plans for unity and development, they began becoming accustomed to Midnight Reaper. Just like he had said, he truly was the exact same as Sin despite the odd differences in-between each other. ------------------------------------ Four months had passed since Sins soul entered into hibernation. His lifeless body drifted in the void, finally at the end there was a spurt of light. A sudden suction force sucked Sins body into it, Sins body shot down through the sky of a new world altogether. Sins body smashed through the sea, his body created a giant splash of water. All the sea creatures that came to hungrily eat Sin, were instead devoured by a foreign power in his body. Sin floated on the sea for hours, eventually big armoured boats passed by. There was a woman on deck who was bored out of her mind, she was in a bikini suit while hanging over the ledge looking down at the vast sea. Then her eyes caught sight of the unconscious Sin, his body was ripped open, had massive holes, he was fully naked and severely injured. When she got a look at Sins face, her eyes widened as she couldn''t help but loudly exclaim. "Grand Warrior Sin of the Desolate Kingdom!" The other crew heard her loud exclamation, they soon bellowed out loudly in good manners. "Oy captain, we all know how obsessed you are with Grand Warrior Sin after seeing his mighty display, and the ultimate sacrifice to save his clan and daughters. But this is the boundless sea, and that Grand Warrior Sin is from a completely different galaxy compared to ours. How could he possibly be floating along the sea?" The captain huffed in extreme heated anger. She flashed away and smashed her fists down on top of all her crewmates heads, then she picked them all up and brought them to the side of the boat. She pointed down and loudly declared. "If that''s not Grand Warrior Sins sexy naked injured body? Then who the fuck is it!?" All the men, and other women crewmates looked down with shock. The women looked on with hungry looks, after seeing Sins manhood they were lost in fantasies. Although they were at sea, it was also a long dry spell at sea. "Oy what the fuck kind of slap in the face is this?" The men raged about as their eyes nearly shot out their sockets. "Haul him on bored you fucking lazy buffoons!" The female captain bellowed. With her words said, the men were far too slow as the women were already diving in. Fighting over each other to have the honour of taking Sins body on board. After Sin was brought on board, he was sent to the captain''s room. The captain returned to her natural appearance, she was a natural born fairy, had high proficiency with magic as well as being a Saint Rank Priest. She wrapped Sins body up with medical bandages, and began pushing extreme amounts of condensed pure nature Qi into his body. When she did so, she felt boundless hunger and an unknown energy keeping his bodily functions alive. When she interjected her Mana into Sins body, she found the root of the cause why Sin was still unconscious, despite this mysterious power keeping his organs functioning. Sins soul was in a deep slumber, when her Mana entered into his Soul Space. She saw all the events even more clear than on the screen in the sky. She saw the events of Sin in his Heart World desperately fighting his own death. Sin powerlessly watched on as all the members of the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team died. Alannah, his daughter, crawled to him with severe injuries. She cried, kowtowed and apologized to Sins corpse for not revealing her power sooner. Jasmine, Sins sister, had saved Alannahs life and pleaded with her to bring her papas body to safety. Merala appeared as she was injured from head to toe, drenched in her own blood and barely alive. She fought off Solarus with all her remaining strength, buying Alannah enough time to save Sins corpse. When Alannah and Samara had finally arrived at ''safety'' Merala smashed through into a nearby palace as Solarus appeared. Alannah and Samara chased after their mom into it, Merala sent them out of the palace as she ignited her cultivation aiming to blow up Solarus with the aftermath. She succeeded, but Solarus remained uninjured. Solarus cleaved Merala in half, blood splashed all over her daughters and Sins body. Then the rest of the events she saw became blocked, as the extreme sadness, depression, despair, self hatred, powerless feelings almost consumed her for sneaking a peek inside Sins soul. Unknowingly tears had surfaced to her eyes, her hand affectionately touched Sins face as she muttered underneath her breath. "You poor man with such a good heart. You lost all your loved ones, and even had to suffer the torture of watching on helplessly as you became a monster." The sleeping soul within Sin had shown slight signs of waking up. Sins soul felt the familiarity of the Nature Qi being injected into his body, making it temporarily wake up. Sins eyes fluttered a couple of times as before slowly waking up, but when Sin temporarily came back to his senses he saw nothing. Sin was now permanently blind. Sins arm raised up but he felt nothing at all. Then after the captain purposely moved forward, Sins hand touched her smooth and soft face. Tears began falling out of his eyes as he weakly asked. "Merala..... is that you my precious wife?" The fairy captain was shocked out of her wits, she looked at Sins white eyes and realized he couldn''t actually see her. She placed her hand over his, as she used the most caring and affectionate voice she could muster. "Yes my husband, Merala is right here with you." Sins lips and entire body began to quiver, his broken hearted and weak voice sounded out again. "Thank god, I managed to protect you and our beautiful little girls." Sins hand dropped as the pain in his body racked his very being. Sin became unconscious again however, this time it was different. Sin was unconscious with a ''alive'' soul. Given his current state of injuries, it would take Sin two additional months of time to fully recover. -------------------------------------------- Back in the Wolf God Clan, Alannah and Samara felt the sleeping portion of Sins soul wake up before the connection went dead. However, the most important of all was, they could communicate with the connection through their bloodline. Unlike before where there was no connection whatsoever. Mystic Reaper sounded his voice out confirming their very thoughts. "Sins portion of our soul has finally woken up. It has been a long 4 months, soon you will be able to communicate with your papa." The girls quickly hugged each other as they jumped in joy. This was the first time Midnight Reaper had seen his nieces so happy in the last four months. Midnight Reaper genuinely smiled as he asked himself inside. "Brother, is this what you meant by when you said, one day when I have a physical body of my own, and capable of feeling emotions? Now I know the full pain you felt when you loved Sabrina so much, but could never get it back. These precious nieces of mine, I love them like they were my own daughters, I would give up my very life for them without complaint to protect them. Truly being a real ''human'' and having emotions is a troublesome thing, but even more than that it is a blessing!" Mystic Blade Empress had a look of relief on her face. Her voice was only heard by herself. "Thank god my disciple you''re really alive! Master wasn''t strong enough to protect you, I don''t know where you are. But wherever you go, I know you will surely create many miracles and become undefeated!" Mystic Blade Empress left the Scion Milkyway without hesitation, beginning her trip for extensive training. The deep guilt she felt, watching her disciple ignite his cultivation before her eyes left a deep shadow within her heart. As a master, Mystic Blade Empress felt she was still lacking. She would never let herself feel this inadequate as a master ever again! Volume 3 Chapter 2: Killing Black Rock Organization Members The Fairy captain had spent the next two months healing Sins various injuries non stop. After the first three days, she quickly drained her energy supply. However, she was not willing to give in. Pushing on and doing her job as a Priest, Sins external and internal injuries was healed and brought him back from his near death state. All that was left was for his soul to completely wake up. Occasionally during the time the Fairy captain was healing Sins injuries, he would occasionally wake up for a short amount of time. Kaiser the spirit of Sins Soul Weapon eventually showed itself. It looked down at Sin with eyes full of worry, and transmitted all of its thoughts to Sins mind. "Father, you have to wake up! We are in a new world, and your external injuries have been fully healed by Merala. There is no more time to be lost, self hating and blaming yourself, the both of us have to move on together!" Another ten days passed, the crew had come back from their voyage to one of the nearby continents of this world. During their travels, they had come under attack from various pirates many times. They successfully killed all their enemies, and plundered their plunderers ships, loot, food, and water. After returning back to land, the Fairy captain returned to her human form, she stretched out her curvaceous body and let out a satisfied sigh of relief. "Crew mates! We are finally back on land, it feels fucking terrific. After we unload ourselves from our haul, all of you will get your benefits early this year. We have gotten an incredible bounty of loot, and an unknown blessing at sea. This will be our last expedition for quite some time, if you all burn through your benefits early. You all know my origins, you may come and receive aid from me personally." All of the crew cheered, they were given vacation time, and guaranteed coverage for their lack of work for a prolonged period. All of them shouted out in joy. "Thank you captain!" The work efficiency quadrupled, what would have taken them 2 full hours had been done in 30 minutes. The Fairy Captain handed out an equal amount to everyone. "This here includes 6 months of payment, and enough for you to blow through some extras on the side. I would like to see you all again in another 8-10 months from now, if nothing disastrous happens. Take care of yourselves while you''re out there, things have been becoming unsettling as of late." "Yes captain!" The crew replied, while they all went off to do their own things. A few women had stayed behind, the captain eyed them and then she asked. "Was the compensation I gave out not good enough?" The women shook their heads. "It''s not that captain, the compensation is more than enough. We would like to personally become hired mercenaries for the Fairies." The captain eyed them. "You do realize, us Fairies are not a single united group like we used to be. If it wasn''t for the wealth I have kept on bringing back, our entire race would have scattered and separated into separate branches." The women nodded their heads firmly. "We are well aware, but we would like to follow you and receive guidance from Grand Warrior Sins Sword techniques." The captain had a knowing smile on her face. "Well it can''t hurt to say so, but Grand Warrior Sin is now a blind man. His eyesight is completely gone, I doubt you will receive real guidance anytime soon." The women still had their same firm look on their faces. "It does not matter, Grand Warrior Sin is a man who would die for his loved ones, and become a cruel demon to his enemies. You have also shown us plenty of appreciation and help over the years. We would like to return it in a meaningful way." The captain nodded her head and said. "Alright that''s good enough then, when we return to the Fairy clan, I will have to blindfold all of you. You will have to listen to my instructions clearly if you want to bypass our formations." "Lead the way captain!" The women replied. The captain lifted Sins unconscious body to hang off her shoulder, beginning her journey back to the Fairy clan, along the way they had killed many bandits and mutant beasts. The women following the captain were given all of the nuclei of the mutant beasts. The nucleus would help their foundation, just as it would give them permanent bonus stats. However, these nuclei were only of the Beginner Rank. Their bodies would quickly develop immunity to them, which they would then need Initiate rank or higher nuclei for more stats. After 20 days they were nearing a quarter of the way to the Fairy clan. That night, they were all sitting around a fire with a mutant beast spit cooking. All of them were in their own thoughts, until a voice sounded out shocking them all. "The mutant beast you''re spit cooking lacks salt, pepper, and other spices to add more flavour and tenderness to the meat." Sin was sitting upright from the mat placed below his body. Sin attempted to get up, but he stumbled as being blind was truly a fucking pain in the ass. Despite his honed senses which put many people behind, it would take them a long time to get used to functioning without sight. "You''ve only recovered from your injuries, you should rest more." The voice of the captain sounded out while she approached Sins side and sat down beside him. Sin looked at the direction of her voice before he said. "Thank you for waking my injured soul, I am sorry you have gone through such great lengths." The captain showed surprise, but then she caught the meaning behind his words. "It was my pleasure to do so Grand Warrior Sin. I am sorry I impersonated myself as your wife Merala, it was all I could think of that would give you a chance of being ''alive'' again." This time Sin was shocked as he asked. "You know me?" The captain and women smiled together as they said in perfect unison. "Who doesn''t know you? After your display of might, sadness, rage, and killing spree. You''re the talk of our entire world! You can''t enter any tavern without hearing the story of Grand Warrior Sin. Not to mention, you made us a top 100 race again."This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. Sin nodded his head. "So that''s what those screens were for." The women couldn''t help it, their dream man was right in front of their eyes. They asked something which made Sin go silent for many minutes. "Your wife Merala, is she the only one in your heart?" The silence lasted until Sins voice broke the awkward atmosphere. "Merala is the only one in my heart, I will not be chasing other women or looking for their attention." Sins alertness was triggered, from over 20 kilometres away he could hear the snapping of tree branches, and the crumpling sound of leaves underneath boots. He quickly warned the camp. "Get on your guard, we have some unexpected visitors." Sins cultivation was gone, but his stats, combat experience, techniques, and refined senses were not. Sin forced his body up, he took out a spare Sword from his inventory, using it as a walking stick. The tremors in the ground, vibrated off the hilt and gave Sin the enemies location. Sin flashed away, despite tripping and falling over himself many times. Sins hands felt around, feeling the bark of a tree, he noiselessly scaled up it. With his cultivation destroyed, Sin could no longer use his Mana like he had become so accustomed to doing. However, that didn''t stop him. Sin at one point didn''t have Mana, and now he had returned to that point. Sins ears twitched, the sound of hushed whispers flew into his ears. "Are you sure we should kill her? She is the cherished daughter of the Fairy Queen. If we kill her, their entire race will split up." "Shut up and just do your job! The princesses sister Rheanon has already sided with the Black Rock Organization. Her ultimate goal is to split the Fairy Clan apart so she can rule them, and sell off her sisters and mothers bloodline as slaves!" Sin took out a piece of paper and wrote down all that he had heard, after that he began feeling for his combat boots. When his hand didn''t feel any throwing knives, a slight curse escaped his mouth alerting the enemies. "Who''s there!? Show yourself!" Sin muttered in his mind. "Goddamn it Sin, get your shit together!" Sin used his capabilities of judgement he honed in the Mystic Blade World to the max. Putting the spare sword in his mouth Sin bit down on the hilt. Noiselessly diving downwards from the branches above, Sin split the man who just barked out from head to toe. After that he smashed both halves of the body with open palms, they shot out and flew into two other enemies. Sin heard the unsheathing of swords, feeling the vibrations in the air. Sin swiped Kaiser upwards, deflecting an incoming attack. Sin got into position and used Blood Dragons Interweaving Night. The attacking enemy''s head was sent flying through the air. "You dare ambush the Black Rock Organization!" Sin smiled ruthlessly. "There is nothing in this world that I don''t dare to do! I tore apart thirty Gods, I slaughtered millions in one single night. You all are nothing but added bodies to the number count!" Sin walked forward with Kaiser scraping against the ground. His newly acquired Emperor and Blood Dragons Conquerors Aura surged out of his body. All the swords, sabers and katanas trembled as they flew out of their owners hands. The weapons hovered in formation behind their respective owner, each blade tip aimed at their neck. "Now all of you are going to walk to your right for ten kilometres, take a left turn in five kilometres, and walk straight the rest of the way. You are going to come across a group of women around a cooking mutant beast. You are going to explain yourselves to them, and if you don''t here is your example!" Sin snapped his finger and two heads flew through the air. "Do as you''re told, unless you want me to personally storm this so-called Black Rock Organization and cut the roots!" The men quivered in their boots, they did as they were told. After following Sins explicit instructions, they appeared in front of a group of women and the Fairy Captain. They eyed on, as the target they were supposed to kill was right before their eyes. Sin appeared 10 steps behind the Black Rock Organization members, his killing intent became active making them all kneel onto the ground. "Now repeat your intentions before everyone here, your fates will be decided by these women afterwards." Sin barked The man did as they were told. "We the Black Rock Organization were hired by your Royal Highness''s sister Rheanon. Her goal is to kill you, and create a massacre in the Fairy Clan. She would sell you, and your mothers bloodline and loyal followers into slavery. While she would reign supreme of the Fairy Clan, aligned to our Black Rock Organization." The Fairy Captains brows knit together tightly. "What goes around comes around, all of you can go to hell!" Before they had the slightest chance to plead for their lives, the blades descended sending their heads rolling. Sin took out a pouch from his inventory and quickly put the heads inside. After tossing the bag over to the Fairy Captain he said. "Use these to confront the Fairy Matriarch with evidence. I have also written down all that they have had to say. I will not allow any harm to befall you or the Matriarch, you have shown me unfathomable amounts of kindness. It is now my turn to return it." Sin then walked over to the mutant beast that was being spit cooked. He applied salt, black pepper, tarragon, sweet paprika, and onion powder. Soon the enriched aroma wafted out, all the womens stomachs rumbled. The Fairy Captain came to Sins side, she took each jar of the spices and took a whiff. She was shocked then asked in surprise. "How do you mix these spices together so well?" Sin smiled. "Wait a little bit longer and you will find out, while the spices won''t have a long enough time to cook into the meat. It will be better than what was originally going to be eaten." "Your a chef?" The other woman exclaimed, Sin just seemed to be getting better and better in their eyes by each passing second. The Fairy Captain finally introduced herself. "I am Alaris, sorry it took so long for me to introduce myself. It''s an honour to be within your presence, I know that your cultivation is crippled, but you are truly still a monstrous existence. I fear with your combat sense and various abilities, it would be hard to find someone capable of matching you within your level range." Sin had a downcast look. "Your right, but the moment someone out of my level range appears I become unable to cope. That is how I lost my wife, and that is something I will NEVER forgive myself for! There are no excuses for one''s own weakness, I haven''t put in nearly enough work to make myself stronger." Alaris felt the strong resolution and sadness within Sins words. It made her heart break more, as a Fairy and especially someone who had the Ancestor Fairy''s bloodline in her, Alaris was able to easily connect with others emotions. The sadness she felt from Sin the first time nearly consumed her. Alaris had felt many people''s emotions, but none were as pure compared to Sins. After another 15 minutes, the mutant beast was finally done cooking. Sin took out plates and cutlery from his inventory before cutting chunks of meat off, Sin handed out the plates to Alaris and the others. After stumbling over many times, Sin had come to a nearby tree. After climbing up the tree, Sins eyes shut as he felt the chilly night wind, his emotions and memories began running on their own. Not long ago he, Jasmine and Alannah had just watched the stars while enjoying hearty snacks together. Unknowingly, Alaris had arrived underneath the tree. She sat with her back up against it as she rested her eyes. Various thoughts ran through her mind. "Mother, are these feelings what it''s like to love someone else? Is this what it feels like when you can''t help the one you love, this pain, sadness and helplessness?" Alaris stared up at the stars as she imagined herself in Sins loving and caring embrace. "Even if you don''t love me, my heart belongs to you. No other man will taint me." As the other women finished eating their meal, they looked over to the tree and saw the sight. They couldn''t help but talk amongst themselves. "The captain truly fell head over heel for that Grand Warrior Sin didn''t she?" Another woman answered back. "Yes she has, but everyone in our world saw what Sin had become after his wife died protecting his corpse and their daughters. Not to mention there''s a fog of restless emotions surrounding him. That poor man, I wonder how it must feel to go through all of those events." The remaining women began chiming in as well. "Don''t forget when Sin had ignited his cultivation to fight head on with the Demon Lord. He looked as if a Sword Immortal had descended from the higher domains. Then when he had combined with his Master and her Soul Weapon with his own. There will not be another fight that could make someone''s blood boil in excitement like that for a long time." Volume 3 Chapter 3 Returning To The Fairy Clan Two more months of time passed in the blink of an eye. During their journey, Sin, Alaris and the various women killed hundreds of more members of the Black Rock Organization. After the number tally had hit 250, the organization seemed to smarten up. Or Rheanon had taken the hint, killing her younger sister with borrowed hands was impossible. Sin had collected all the heads of the attackers and their personal items. Sin had come across various detailed reports, with Rheanons involvement in the Black Rock Organization. Of course, all of these were now in Alaris'' possession. During this time, Sin had also taken the effort to practice his Sword techniques. While Sin could no longer ''see'' the disparities and faults in his own movements. Sin was now able to feel them on a higher level than he could previously. They say being blind is a curse, but it''s not only until you become blind that you ''see'' things with clearer clarity. Sin had touched upon something he was missing all this time. After losing his eyesight, Sin felt like he was no longer trapped in the box that was trapping himself within. After long since mastering the base techniques in Blood Dragon Sword Methods, the next step was combining your mastery of techniques back into their ''dull'' and base forms. Fancy moves were cool and all, but what good would they do if you couldn''t kill your enemies with them? Sin had finally been able to begin the process, and during so Sins Sword Qi had become much more active. A thin layer of sword lights surrounded Sin''s body like a defensive outer layer of armour. While he was honing himself killing numerous mutant beasts, his sword light layer was becoming more condensed and stronger. Soon it was easily able to cut through tough mutant beast hides just from being active. Sin decided he was going to call it Withering Sword Dance. After the two months period, the sword light had condensed into smaller particles of sword lights. Sin was now able to control these sword particles, they were able to attack, defend, act as a radar, and they were the perfect assassins tools without getting your hands dirty. Sin, Alaris and company had reached the boundary of the Fairy Clan. The sun was still high in the air, but it was slowly descending. From here Alaris took out blind folds for all the women. She didn''t hand one out to Sin though for the obvious reasons. Sin took this time to speak up to settle the friction he felt forming. "You forgot about me Alaris, while I may be blind I can still sense everything within my surroundings clearly. Are you sure you want me to learn the method to be able to get in and out as I please?" Alaris had fixed her own mistake, the blind fold went around Sins eyes, and then his sharp senses were declined from his normal 500 meter radius to only 2 meters. This however, was very surprising. These blindfolds were created specially by Alaris for this reason, their innate ability was to cancel out one''s various senses. However, Sins was so sharp he was able to break through a Saint Rank priest''s magic enchanted items. After Alaris had done everything that needed to be done. Her voice sounded out with various commands, this went on for four hours straight. The easiest way to explain the sensation, it felt similar to the feeling of a cool breeze during a humid summer day. And then it was ruined by a strong teleportation force, which felt like it was trying to suck the organs out of your body. Simply put whoever made this devilishly refreshing, and then cruel formation was a jackass! Sin quickly got over himself and his inner ramblings. The surrounding area had become much more attuned to nature, it felt pure and had an extreme feeling of bliss like a lovers embrace. Alaris walked around and took off the blindfolds from each person. "Welcome everyone to the Fairy Clan, this is my home and you all can count this as your second home as well. It has been a long trek to get here, I will go over the clans rules with all of you tomorrow. For now, I will have some of my people guide you to your lodging for the night." After Alaris had said her piece, her hand reached out and clasped Sin''s hand. "You and I have other things to do though." Alaris had pulled Sin along the whole way to her mother''s house. When they were halfway, they were blocked by Rheanon and a group of young Fairy warriors. "Little sister Alaris I hope you had safe travels out at sea. How was it, did you bring back lots of wealth again?" Sin could feel the thick hostile intent in the air, Alaris to his side was completely oblivious to it. Over this time, she still couldn''t believe her own big sister was as cruel as the reports, and the Black Rock Organization men and women had reported to them. Then Rheanon had caught a glimpse of Sin beside Alaris. "Ohhh and who might this handsome man be? He lacks eyesight, but I can feel his sharp senses and aura from this far away. It even has our warriors on edge as if they''re facing a prehistoric beast." Alaris was tongue tied, but she quickly came up with a fake name and backstory. "This is Raizen, he is a wandering Master Swordsman. He is proficient in both Sword, Great Sword, and Saber techniques. Raizen was abandoned as a baby, then one day a nameless Sword fiend picked him up through the forest. Raizen has long since mastered many techniques, all of my ambushers had personally been killed by him. "How foolish of you little sister, a Master Swordsman? His stats clearly shows he is only at Advanced Sword Mastery level 1. Are you sure this man here could kill all your ambushers?" Rheanon asked with disbelief, all the ambushers had been hired by her. She had paid 35,000 gold coins for their service, and was extremely pissed learning their killer was right before her eyes. The young men behind her sounded out. "Enough with this chit chat, why don''t we find out his abilities the correct way?" Alaris had a smug look on her face. "Alright let us do it that way. Raizen, make sure you hold back. You''re not a formal Mercenary of the Fairy Clan yet. If you draw blood, not even I can protect you from the consequences." Sin just shrugged his shoulders. "These punks aren''t worthy of staining their blood on my blade anyways." Sins clear provocation and disrespect for them had pissed all of them off. Sin then drew Kaiser from his sheath, he flipped the blade sideways onto its dull side. Sins Conquerors Aura surged out of his body, all the Swords, Great Swords and Sabers of these young men became restless. As if they had just received the calling from their emperor.If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. "Draw your weapons, you''re warriors not a bunch of pussies!" Sin provoked all the men with the tried and proven true method. Calling another man a pussy ALWAYS works! No matter if it was fishing bait or not, they had to bite it if they didn''t want to be known as a pussy. Sin activated his Withering Sword Dance as he stood still in place. "All of you may attack me until you''re exhausted, I will only act once you have had your fair chance." All of the young Fairy warriors ran towards Sin, slashing, stabbing, swiping, cleaving with their weapons. Sins Withering Sword Dance activated, it formed a golden majestic wave of Sword particles blocking all the attacks. Sin stood in the middle of it all, as if he were Mosus walking across water. No matter what techniques they used, none of them were able to break through Sins defensive barrier. Sin yawned loudly as he covered his mouth with his left hand. After that he took one pinky, put it into his ear and did a couple circulations. After flicking away what was on his finger tip, he heard the huffing of enraged but exhausted men. Sin decided to strike while the iron was hot. "Boys, boys are you really that tired after such a short burst of energy? Jeez, I wonder how your wives must feel." Alaris who heard this nearby spit out her entire cup of tea. She laughed so loudly that it added to the provocation of Sins words. All the men grit their teeth as they were about to go and attack again. Sin raised his left hand, halting them. "Did you all forget my previous words?" Sin raised Kaiser into the air with his right hand. His Emperors and Conquerors Aura combined together, Sins body radiated a majestic golden aura that made all of the nearby warriors kneel on the ground. "Kowtow in front of Alaris and apologize for your rude behavior!" The men were hypnotized by Sin''s overwhelming majestic aura. They kowtowed and humbly apologized to Alaris. Sin then looked at Rheanon and made a disapproving look on his face. "I single handedly defeated all of your warriors without striking once. If I am only an Advanced Sword Mastery level 1, does that make your men trash?" Rheanon heard the clear provocation in Sins voice. Sin was not dissing the warriors of the Fairy clan, he was dissing HER puppet warriors of the Fairy Clan. This angered her until she bit down grinding her teeth together. But what Sin said was right, if he was only a meager Advanced Rank 1 in Sword Mastery, yet he managed to defeat everyone with his aura alone. Rheannon''s own men were truly trash that didn''t have any guts to resist. Sin put Kaiser back into its sheath and said. "I think this is a fair enough taste testing of what I have to offer. Is there anything else you have to say about this your royal highness Rheanon?" Alaris was all smiles, she puffed her chest out as if Sins victory was her own. She spoke for her older sister. "Raizen I think that''s good enough, you should also show some more respect to my elder sister." Sin scoffed disdainfully. "Why should I show respect to your older sister, who is clearly trying to overthrow you and your mother?" Sins words cut right into Reasons being, she quickly ordered her men as they all left the scene. Sin then looked Alaris in the eyes. "You saw that look in your older sisters eyes just now did you not? Not to mention her emotional state became berserk the moment I mentioned her secrets." Alaris'' look turned heavy. "Of course I did, how could I miss it?" Sin kept on questioning. "Are my words still bullshit after witnessing it?" Alaris hung her head down like a child. "No." Sin nodded his head in a slightly better opinion of Alaris. "Good, now let''s go and report all the details and documents to your mom. If you don''t want to lose the Fairy Clan to your sister''s misdeeds, you had better act fast. The cat has been let out of the bag." Alaris then had a questioning tone as she asked. "The cat has been let out of the bag?" Sin sighed to himself loudly before saying. "Fucking Idioms! At least the people of Desolate Kingdom were used to them already." Sin had followed behind Alaris'' lead towards her mother''s house. Sin had to perfectly play his role as a wandering Swordsman. Or else it would make the enemies alert, springing them into action faster than they themselves were prepared for. After entering behind Alaris. Sin felt the dense Nature Qi inside the building, there was a formation that instantly relieves the nerves, exhaustion, and surging emotions. Sin instantly felt his heavy heart relax, all the worries and pains disappeared temporarily. Sin stood with his arms crossed against his chest, leaning against the wall and called out to Alaris. "Go and bring what you need to prove everything to your mom. I am not a proper body that should be present for this discussion." Alaris nodded at how thoughtful Sin was before replying. "Feel free to make yourself at home." Sin nodded back in Alaris'' direction. Alaris entered her mother''s room. She sighed heavily before coming and sitting in front of her mom. "Mother I have returned from my voyage, we have gained a lot of wealth this time around. Enough to cultivate 150,000 more Warriors, and we will still have a big reserve of gold coins and other material wealth." Alaris'' mother''s voice sounded out with a voice of excitement and love. "Very good you have done a great deed Alaris. I am sorry you have had to suffer through all of these hardships in the recent years." Alaris shook her head. "Don''t apologize mother, as your daughter it is something I must do for our people." Alaris struggled with herself internally for many minutes, but after replaying Sin''s reminder. Alaris steeled herself as she took out all the evidence and heads of the Black Rock Organization. "These are people hired by Rheanon to kill me on my way back to the Fairy Clan. Thankfully, while we were out at sea. I found the body of an unconscious, severely wounded Grand Warrior. I healed his broken soul, and physical injuries. If it weren''t for his capabilities, I would have died long ago." While the mother and daughters discussion was going on. Sin who was currently resting enjoying this moment of peace, ears twitched as his own instincts for survival kicked into overdrive. Sin barged through the doors of the Fairy Matriarch''s room. He flashed in and rudely grabbed both mother and daughter, hanging them over his shoulders. After flashing out of the house, Sin threw them over 100 meters away. After they successfully landed the Matriarch was about to yell. But before she could, Alaris had stopped her. Sin stood in place with Kaiser in hand. His Sword Qi surged out as his Emperors Aura locked down the surroundings. "Don''t you think it is inappropriate to listen to two women have a serious discussion?" Sin slashed his blade down behind himself. "KLANG!" Sparks flew as a figure was revealed and pushed back 100 meters. The figure had left two deep scars in the earth. His arms were numb to the point he dropped his weapon. After the figure was rebounded, Sin felt an intense spike in the atmosphere''s heat. The house they were just in moments ago, was bombarded and blown up into millions of pieces. Sin took out a throwing knife from his inventory. After locking onto the disparities between the wind currents, Sin threw out his knife. He missed his target, but they had still lost their right eye. After throwing his knife out, Sin crouched down in the position to do a squat. After avoiding a blade aimed to send his head flying. Sin slashed out with Kaiser, decapitating a man from the waist. Blood and organs splattered out, the man screamed in disbelief and terror as he looked at the other half of his waist downwards. Sin rolled forward and placed both hands on the ground, using his hands as leverage he kicked like a donkey. Bursting another assailant''s head like a dropped cherry pie. Sin took out a series of throwing knives and threw them out in a crescent arc. Various yelps of pain sounded out, two out of the ten targets died instantly. Sin let his body fall forward onto his feet, the moment his feet touched the ground he slipped. Falling backwards, Sin failed to react in time as two daggers sneaked across drawing a bloody X across his chest. Moments later, another two daggers stabbed into the middle of Sins shoulders. This temporarily disrupted Sin from being able to properly wield Kaiser. Letting loose of the grip on Kaiser, Sin let it fall to the ground. Sin then stomped down on the hilt of Kaiser, afterwards Sin moved like the wind. When he appeared again, Sin was balancing himself on one leg, while Kaiser was clenched in-between his right calf and butt cheek. While it looked comical, this had made Sin no less dangerous to any enemy. Sin shouted out in a hurry. "Alaris take your mom and gather the Warriors loyal to you guys, I will clean up the trash over here!" Volume 3 Chapter 3: Returning To The Fairy Clan Two more months of time passed in the blink of an eye.

His stats clearly shows he is only at Advanced Sword Mastery level 1. Are you sure this man here could kill all your ambushers?" Rheanon asked with disbelief, all the ambushers had been hired by her. She had paid 35,000 gold coins for their service, and was extremely pissed learning their killer was right before her eyes. The young men behind her sounded out. "Enough with this chit chat, why don''t we find out his abilities the correct way?" Alaris had a smug look on her face. "Alright let us do it that way. Raizen, make sure you hold back. You''re not a formal Mercenary of the Fairy Clan yet. If you draw blood, not even I can protect you from the consequences." Sin just shrugged his shoulders. "These punks aren''t worthy of staining their blood on my blade anyways." Sins clear provocation and disrespect for them had pissed all of them off. Sin then drew Kaiser from his sheath, he flipped the blade sideways onto its dull side. Sins Conquerors Aura surged out of his body, all the Swords, Great Swords and Sabers of these young men became restless. As if they had just received the calling from their emperor.Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings. "Draw your weapons, you''re warriors not a bunch of pussies!" Sin provoked all the men with the tried and proven true method. Calling another man a pussy ALWAYS works! No matter if it was fishing bait or not, they had to bite it if they didn''t want to be known as a pussy. Sin activated his Withering Sword Dance as he stood still in place. "All of you may attack me until you''re exhausted, I will only act once you have had your fair chance." All of the young Fairy warriors ran towards Sin, slashing, stabbing, swiping, cleaving with their weapons. Sins Withering Sword Dance activated, it formed a golden majestic wave of Sword particles blocking all the attacks. Sin stood in the middle of it all, as if he were Mosus walking across water. No matter what techniques they used, none of them were able to break through Sins defensive barrier. Sin yawned loudly as he covered his mouth with his left hand. After that he took one pinky, put it into his ear and did a couple circulations. After flicking away what was on his finger tip, he heard the huffing of enraged but exhausted men. Sin decided to strike while the iron was hot. "Boys, boys are you really that tired after such a short burst of energy? Jeez, I wonder how your wives must feel." Alaris who heard this nearby spit out her entire cup of tea. She laughed so loudly that it added to the provocation of Sins words. All the men grit their teeth as they were about to go and attack again. Sin raised his left hand, halting them. "Did you all forget my previous words?" Sin raised Kaiser into the air with his right hand. His Emperors and Conquerors Aura combined together, Sins body radiated a majestic golden aura that made all of the nearby warriors kneel on the ground. "Kowtow in front of Alaris and apologize for your rude behavior!" The men were hypnotized by Sin''s overwhelming majestic aura. They kowtowed and humbly apologized to Alaris. Sin then looked at Rheanon and made a disapproving look on his face. "I single handedly defeated all of your warriors without striking once. If I am only an Advanced Sword Mastery level 1, does that make your men trash?" Rheanon heard the clear provocation in Sins voice. Sin was not dissing the warriors of the Fairy clan, he was dissing HER puppet warriors of the Fairy Clan. This angered her until she bit down grinding her teeth together. But what Sin said was right, if he was only a meager Advanced Rank 1 in Sword Mastery, yet he managed to defeat everyone with his aura alone. Rheannon''s own men were truly trash that didn''t have any guts to resist. Sin put Kaiser back into its sheath and said. "I think this is a fair enough taste testing of what I have to offer. Is there anything else you have to say about this your royal highness Rheanon?" Alaris was all smiles, she puffed her chest out as if Sins victory was her own. She spoke for her older sister. "Raizen I think that''s good enough, you should also show some more respect to my elder sister." Sin scoffed disdainfully. "Why should I show respect to your older sister, who is clearly trying to overthrow you and your mother?" Sins words cut right into Reasons being, she quickly ordered her men as they all left the scene. Sin then looked Alaris in the eyes. "You saw that look in your older sisters eyes just now did you not? Not to mention her emotional state became berserk the moment I mentioned her secrets." Alaris'' look turned heavy. "Of course I did, how could I miss it?" Sin kept on questioning. "Are my words still bullshit after witnessing it?" Alaris hung her head down like a child. "No." Sin nodded his head in a slightly better opinion of Alaris. "Good, now let''s go and report all the details and documents to your mom. If you don''t want to lose the Fairy Clan to your sister''s misdeeds, you had better act fast. The cat has been let out of the bag." Alaris then had a questioning tone as she asked. "The cat has been let out of the bag?" Sin sighed to himself loudly before saying. "Fucking Idioms! At least the people of Desolate Kingdom were used to them already." Sin had followed behind Alaris'' lead towards her mother''s house. Sin had to perfectly play his role as a wandering Swordsman. Or else it would make the enemies alert, springing them into action faster than they themselves were prepared for. After entering behind Alaris. Sin felt the dense Nature Qi inside the building, there was a formation that instantly relieves the nerves, exhaustion, and surging emotions. Sin instantly felt his heavy heart relax, all the worries and pains disappeared temporarily. Sin stood with his arms crossed against his chest, leaning against the wall and called out to Alaris. "Go and bring what you need to prove everything to your mom. I am not a proper body that should be present for this discussion." Alaris nodded at how thoughtful Sin was before replying. "Feel free to make yourself at home." Sin nodded back in Alaris'' direction. Alaris entered her mother''s room. She sighed heavily before coming and sitting in front of her mom. "Mother I have returned from my voyage, we have gained a lot of wealth this time around. Enough to cultivate 150,000 more Warriors, and we will still have a big reserve of gold coins and other material wealth." Alaris'' mother''s voice sounded out with a voice of excitement and love. "Very good you have done a great deed Alaris. I am sorry you have had to suffer through all of these hardships in the recent years." Alaris shook her head. "Don''t apologize mother, as your daughter it is something I must do for our people." Alaris struggled with herself internally for many minutes, but after replaying Sin''s reminder. Alaris steeled herself as she took out all the evidence and heads of the Black Rock Organization. "These are people hired by Rheanon to kill me on my way back to the Fairy Clan. Thankfully, while we were out at sea. I found the body of an unconscious, severely wounded Grand Warrior. I healed his broken soul, and physical injuries. If it weren''t for his capabilities, I would have died long ago." While the mother and daughters discussion was going on. Sin who was currently resting enjoying this moment of peace, ears twitched as his own instincts for survival kicked into overdrive. Sin barged through the doors of the Fairy Matriarch''s room. He flashed in and rudely grabbed both mother and daughter, hanging them over his shoulders. After flashing out of the house, Sin threw them over 100 meters away. After they successfully landed the Matriarch was about to yell. But before she could, Alaris had stopped her. Sin stood in place with Kaiser in hand. His Sword Qi surged out as his Emperors Aura locked down the surroundings. "Don''t you think it is inappropriate to listen to two women have a serious discussion?" Sin slashed his blade down behind himself. "KLANG!" Sparks flew as a figure was revealed and pushed back 100 meters. The figure had left two deep scars in the earth. His arms were numb to the point he dropped his weapon. After the figure was rebounded, Sin felt an intense spike in the atmosphere''s heat. The house they were just in moments ago, was bombarded and blown up into millions of pieces. Sin took out a throwing knife from his inventory. After locking onto the disparities between the wind currents, Sin threw out his knife. He missed his target, but they had still lost their right eye. After throwing his knife out, Sin crouched down in the position to do a squat. After avoiding a blade aimed to send his head flying. Sin slashed out with Kaiser, decapitating a man from the waist. Blood and organs splattered out, the man screamed in disbelief and terror as he looked at the other half of his waist downwards. Sin rolled forward and placed both hands on the ground, using his hands as leverage he kicked like a donkey. Bursting another assailant''s head like a dropped cherry pie. Sin took out a series of throwing knives and threw them out in a crescent arc. Various yelps of pain sounded out, two out of the ten targets died instantly. Sin let his body fall forward onto his feet, the moment his feet touched the ground he slipped. Falling backwards, Sin failed to react in time as two daggers sneaked across drawing a bloody X across his chest. Moments later, another two daggers stabbed into the middle of Sins shoulders. This temporarily disrupted Sin from being able to properly wield Kaiser. Letting loose of the grip on Kaiser, Sin let it fall to the ground. Sin then stomped down on the hilt of Kaiser, afterwards Sin moved like the wind. When he appeared again, Sin was balancing himself on one leg, while Kaiser was clenched in-between his right calf and butt cheek. While it looked comical, this had made Sin no less dangerous to any enemy. Sin shouted out in a hurry. "Alaris take your mom and gather the Warriors loyal to you guys, I will clean up the trash over here!" Volume 3 Chapter 4: Destroying The Black Rock Organization Sin tapped forward blinking into a crowd of enemies, a series of sword lights, klangs and klings resounded out. Sin combined the Water and Sky paths, freezing the ground underneath his foot. This served to boost his lowered speed, and to debilitate the surrounding enemies. Sin skated around like a professional ice skater, bodies were dropping continuously and slowly creating a crimson world of ice. While skating around, Sin was buying himself time to secretly attach a steel wire to Kaiser. Sin sped towards the highest pinnacle of his world of ice, Sin leaped falling backwards bobbing in and out of the oncoming attacks from behind. Letting his body free fall downwards over 70 kilometres an hour, Sin kicked his right leg out and then began making circular motions with it. The viewing members watching this started to laugh loudly. "Look at this comedian over here boys! He''s finally cramping up." Kaiser however, completely destroyed that person''s joke. Kaiser accelerated to an insane speed and quickly became a miniature twister. The surrounding 20 enemies had been sliced in half from the waist down without failure. Alaris had returned with her mom and various loyal warriors. After they arrived at the scene to see a giant crimson ice sculptor, they stared in shock but also marvelled at the detail put into it. The Ice sculptor was of a man slashing through thunder clouds, above the clouds was a gate that was half opened. Sin sensed the arrival of 5,000 dedicated warriors, and 10 generals each general that would roughly be able to handle him at his peak before becoming a cripple. Sin nodded his head internally at this lineup, despite the short amount of time. The Fairy Clan was still very capable, and could''ve been better prepared for Sins next plans if given more time. "Listen up all of you, I am known as Raizen. I will be making my grand debut in the Fairies Clan tonight, I would like to offer all who are interested front row seats." Alaris'' mom came forward as she politely bowed towards Sin. "Hello Sword Master Raizen, I am known as Acacia, the current matriarch of the Fairy Clan. I am sorry you have to be involved with this mess since arriving here. Our clan has traitors which compromised us to the Black Rock Organization." Sin nodded back. "I am sure despite it being a rather short reunion, your daughter has filled you in with all the details of our journey, and the other news?" Acacia''s look was both stern and sad. "That is still hard to accept. But the timing here would be too coincidental wouldn''t you think?" Sin pushed the daggers out from his back, after rotating his shoulders multiple times and loosening his arms up. Sin declared loudly. "To get rid of the pests in your garden, you must uproot the weeds from their roots. Do you follow me Matriarch Acacia?" Acacia had an undesirable look on her face. Before she was about to comment further, Alaris walked towards Sin and got right to the point. "5,000 Warriors and 10 Generals, what is your given estimation of deaths compared to your percentage?" Sin took a thoughtful look for many seconds, after calculating the differences from the ''common'' fairies to the Black Rock Organization members he just killed. Sin had shot out his answer. "125 deaths minimum to uproot the weeds." All of them present had looks of disbelief on their faces. The Black Rock Organization had over 55,000 personnel, yet Sin was full of confidence without any form of cockiness. "Actions speak louder than words do they not? So let me show you the impossible become possible before your very eyes." Alaris looked back at Acacia, they made direct eye contact which contained everything needed to be said between the two. "Well then Raizen you may show us a spectacular show. Listen up all of you are under direct orders from Raizen, his commands are my commands! If any of you dare to fuck around, I will be the one to relinquish you of any good future." "Yes young matriarch!" All the Warriors and Generals behind saluted respectfully. Sin leaped down the Ice sculptor and walked towards Alaris and Acacia. "Provide me the clear directions towards the Black Rock Organization. I will set out to erase these parasites and return with fortune. After Sin had been given crystal clear instructions he set out. Acacia asked Alaris something that''s been on her mind. "Raizen isn''t his real name is it? You look at him in complete and utter infatuation." Alaris looked Acacia in the eyes and said. "Would you believe me if I said, Grand Warrior Sin of Desolate Kingdom was the very Raizen standing before you?" Acacia was gobsmacked; she struggled to contain her overwhelming shock. "But Grand Warrior Sin was technically a vegetable after sacrificing his cultivation." Alaris eyes became slightly wet at the edges. "He was a vegetable until I awoke his soul. I found his lifeless body at sea while coming back from our voyage. I guess Grand Warrior Sin was used to having his injured body filled with Nature Qi, his soul temporarily woke up and he mistook me as his wife Merala. After that he began his process of recovery, but his cultivation is still as it was 6 months ago, crippled." ----------------------------------- Sin and the Fairy Clans Warriors made their way running full speed towards the Black Rock Organization, Sin handed out various holographic devices while ordering aloud behind him. "I want all of you to study these techniques in pairs, I want you to understand the concept of them. Your main focus of learning right now is White Nebula, the rest can be saved for another time. After you have learned White Nebula, I want you all to learn how to combine your Mana from multiple bodies, and then transfer it to someone out of your own body. If you all can learn this in the next 3 hours, the death count will be less than I accounted for; however, if you cannot, many who are accompanying will die tonight!" During their travel, Sin went over to the Commanders. Sin handed out multiple traps, poisons and formations to them. After explaining to the Commanders what their use is, Sin had them distribute them to fully trained assassins, along with a map with many x''s drawn on it for major spots. Sin also had them relay to look for their reserve units. Tonight was going to be a full clean out, nothing was going to be left behind, and no Black Rock Organization member was going to survive tonight. Three hours passed by, surprisingly each and every single one of the Fairies learned what Sin had asked of them. As beings who are magically tuned, it would be a disgrace if they couldn''t learn the concepts of Mystic Sorcery. While they do not have the Mystic Seed foundation like Sin does, their own magical talents would bring future inspirations to Sin for his own Mystic Sorcery. Sin pointed out a man, and said to him. "You are to follow my very being, without my instruction you are not allowed to let go of my hand, or stop your flow of Mana into my body for me to use. After they arrived at their destination outside the Black Rock Organizations fortress, Sin had all the warriors take 30 minutes to recharge themselves. During this period of time Sin unsheathed Kaiser, storing up all his Sword Qi, Emperor and Conquerors Aura. After Sin had reached the peak of what he could control, he called over one man and women. "Gather your Mana and blast it into my back, send me directly above the Black Rock Organizations fortress. The moment after I give them my welcoming gift, send your assassins the signals to ignite their bombs, traps and so forth. As for the rest of you, separate into groups of 1,250 advance from north, east, south, and west at the same time to make a bird cage around the escape routes." After the Mana of the two people blasted Sin forward, he equipped his Midnight Reaper mask and ignited his Tier 6 Midnight Glory Sacred Flame. Sin slashed Kaiser downwards, a massive Sword Qi flame column shot out sounding like a clap of thunder. The earth rumbled when Sins attack sliced the Black Rock Organization fortress in half. Sin controlled his Sacred Flame to claim lives, but not devour the buildings. There was japtem to be claimed, and Sin would be damned if he wasted a single thing from this raid! Thirty figures shot out into the night sky appearing before Sin. After sensing their arrival, Sin put on his most sincere and apologetic look he could muster. "Fellas is that your stronghold I just attacked? I must apologize in advance, if you want to name your price I will pay whatever you want." The leader of the group furiously stared at Sin. "You fucking dare to act like you didn''t do it on purpose?" Sin started throwing out multiple pouches of gold coins. "There between those pouches, you have 2,575,000 Gold coins, is that not enough to satisfy you?" The peoples eyes shun with greed, but then they felt the surrounding area compress and the lack of oxygen. After they came back to their senses, the entire scenery had become a vast galaxy of blankness. The oxygen contained within was speedily reducing at breakneck speeds, they would all soon die due to the lack of oxygen. Sin smiled to himself as he mumbled to himself. [Money cranks the wheel making the smart become dumb asses.] Sin called out to the Generals. "Zephyr, Smokey the bear, Sylus, Alaine, Rain all of you can act now. This barrier of mine will buy just enough time for you all to raid their treasuries, after that ignite all the bombs in various places. I will kill all the leaders, you all take care of the left overs." Sin said to his Mana supplier. "You can let go of my hand now, hide nearby and come out when those elders emerge from my trap."Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. Sin flipped his body as he shot down through the sky. With both hands out and grabbing onto a tree branch, Sin flipped around the branch multiple times to dismiss the momentum. Sin dropped himself down as the dizziness overtook him and he fell on his ass. After the dizziness passed, Sin took out some blocks of wood and a knife from his inventory. While the big fishes were caught inside, Sin decided to pass the time and do some carving. After 15 peaceful minutes passed by, the trapped elders within broke through the net holding them. After getting out all of their faces were beet red as they huffed and puffed for air. The Generals did as they were previously told, multiple loud explosions were heard as Black Rock Organizations Fortress went up in a sea of flames. The 4 groups of 1,250 Fairy Warriors charged in killing all of those escaping. They activated the formations left to them by Sin, the surrounding thirty kilometres had been covered by a big dome. This dome separated the Black Rock Organization from the outside world, meaning no distress signals could be made. The thirty elders of the Black Rock Organization appeared before Sin. Their bodies were radiating a suffocating killing intent. "Shitty brat you actually dare to cause all this mess to our Black Rock Organization!?" Sin smiled as he shrugged his shoulders. "What, just because you can raid the Fairy Clan with the help of Rheanon, we cannot come and raid you as well? If I were an outsider, this is a pretty stupid concept to have." Sins Mana supplier came rushing back, with their hands held together. Sin flashed forward smashing his fist into the guts of one of the elders. The elder was launched into the air, Sin leaped forward and slashed the elder into two halves. After landing on the ground, Sin side flipped as he twisted his body ninety degrees in mid air. Sin dodged various attacks as he pierced through the skull of another elder with Kaiser. Quickly taking out the last spare from his inventory, Sin swiped it upwards with his left hand deflecting many blows. After using the momentum of the strike to let himself fall back, Sin charged forward once again with one hand on his sheath, and the other on the hilt of his blade. Sins body formed a golden zig zag followed by the sound of a "chhk" [Illusionary Sword Second Stage: Void Breaker!] The pressure of the void compressed those within, after reaching maximum compression it blasted itself apart, blowing the elders bodies up into meaty chunks. Sin rolled backwards sliding through the legs of one of the elders. Sin shoved Kaiser upwards with its hilt smashing the balls of the attacking elder. The elders voice was visibly raised a couple of notches as he screamed out in agony. Sin placed both hands on the ground, his legs crossed around the elders head in a X position. Swinging downwards the elder is smashed into the ground, Sin twisted his spine in a S as he grabbed the forearm of another elder and twisted it emitting a loud "SNAP" The Sword fell out of his hands and pierced through the new assailants foot. Sin leaped upwards smashing his elbow onto the hilt, piercing the blade all the way through till the hilt was stopped by bones in the foot. Sin with a open palm smashed out in a straight line across the elders chin, his head spun in circles uttering multiple "krrks" In less than thirty seconds Sin had already claimed a couple lives, while he himself was still in tip top condition and untouched. Sin covered a yawn with his hand. "Are you just going to stand there? I am purposely leaving myself full of openings to give you all a chance." Sins voice full of mockery had pissed them off, but they didn''t dare step forward and test his words. Sin put Kaiser back into his sheath, then he placed both hands behind his back as he said once more. "What are you being a bunch of pussies for? I''m only a single man, surely more than 20 prestigious elders should be able to handle one person right?" Just as one of them couldn''t handle it anymore, he rushed forward slashing towards Sin. Sins Withering Sword Dance turned into various coloured flower petals, when the Sword was about to cleave Sin in half. The petals turned deadly as they swarmed the attacker, blood gushed out of his body as he had thousands of minor to deep cuts. Soon he dropped dead, the flower petals devoured the corpse hungrily leaving no traces behind. Sin raised his palm creating two waves of flower petals with a clear path leading directly towards him. The path was wide enough for five people to walk within before touching the two flower petal waves inevitably dying within. Five elders walked towards Sin with swords drawn. Sin stood where he was minding his own business, as if he were going for a relaxing stroll through the forest during Autumn. Sin flicked his fingers and five swords made out of flower petals formed before him. Sin reached out grabbing one sword while deflecting all the attacks coming his way. After buying another 10 minutes, Sin figured all the organization''s members should be dead by now, and all the japtem had been successfully looted. The Withering Sword Dance expanded once more, this time the flower petals turned into two long rows of swords. All the remaining Black Rock Organization elders were now within the Sword Realm created by Sin. Sin voiced out. "I will honour my master and let you all die by a technique I recently gained insight into from her Sword Heart." The rows of swords began withering away into various lights and flower petals. The Sword Realm quickly became a scene right out of the Autumn season on earth. [Ballad Of The Mystic Blade Empress!] The lights and flower petals consumed all the elders within. All that remained was a pool of blood, storage rings, belts, and the weapons used by the elders. After picking them all up Sin was pleased with his job. After looting what was left by the elders, Sin left and regrouped with the Fairy Warriors. As expected less than 125 people had died, proving the Fairy Clans abilities and well trained warriors. "Alright very good everyone this was a clean sweep. Let''s head back before the sun rises, it would be better off to remain low profile about who eliminated the Black Rock Organization. Collect all the bodies of the fallen Fairy Warriors, when we return I will hand out the next 20 years worth of service to their families. Death is inevitable, but we can still take care of their families, and honour them in their death." Sin and company began making their way back to the Fairy Clan. After thirty minutes passed, a group of middle aged men and women appeared with a elderly man leading the pack. The elder floated above with his aura alone compressing the void beneath his feet. The elder attentively eyed the battlefield below. "Some ballsy punk ass bitches dares to destroy my subsidiary branch! I will clean up these foolish bastards who raided my organization." The elder waved his hands dismissing the group. After closing his eyes, his power spread out covering the Black Rock Organizations fortress. Events of Sin being blasted into the air above and slicing the fortress in half. As well as the following events of bombs detonating, and the one sided massacre that followed suit. The elderly man''s aura turned murderous. "Fairy Clan I will personally wipe you out once our operations have succeeded!" After Sin and the company made it to the halfway point, he ordered the warriors to rest and take note of all the japtem they looted. After sending out his various orders, Sins ears twitched as he heard the distant cries of a young child. "Papa, momma wake up!" The cries had touched a sore spot within Sins heart. Sin quietly slipped away as he followed the sound. After arriving at the scene, a mountainous village was set ablaze. There were raiders killing and pillaging the village. Sin once again heard the cries of a little girl. "You bad man! Leave my papa and momma alone!" Sin withdrew Kaiser and flashed forward. Sins killing intent billowed out of his body, locking onto the leader of the raiders. "Wh-" Before the raider captain had the chance to call out. Sin cleaved the man''s body in half, then with his fist burning with Phoenix Queen, Sin punched out incinerating the two halves. Sin sheathed Kaiser as he retracted his killing intent. Using the hilt of Kaiser as his walking stick, Sin began making his way over to the sobbing little girl. After hearing her gasp in fright, Sin stopped moving forward as he knelt down onto the ground. Sin said with the most sincere tone he could use. "It''s okay little one, I am not here to hurt you. What happened to your village?" The little girl looked at Sin cautiously, but she did not find the ruthless look in Sins eyes. Nor did she feel as if Sin were another bad man. "A band of thieves have been raiding our village over the last few months. Papa and momma are the sole cultivators in our village, they have always been able to always repel them. But the thieves came with stronger people, papa and momma died protecting me." The little girl said as she cried more looking at her papa and mommas corpses. Sin walked over to the bodies of the girl''s parents. He absorbed their corpses into his inventory. Sin then stretched his hand out to the little girl. "Come with me, I will allow you to avenge your momma and papa. We will be going to a safe place soon where we can properly bury, and honour your parents." The little girl was conflicted for a long time. But eventually, she reached her small hand out and clasped onto Sins. "You''re not a bad man. Papa and momma always said I shouldn''t trust strangers. Why do you feel like my loving papa and momma?" Sin answered back. "I have two little daughters just like you. But I am a bad papa, my little girls are all alone without their papa and momma, because I wasn''t strong enough." The little girl looked at Sin with her misty eyes. "Are you going to take care of me like papa and momma did?" Sin hugged the little girl into his chest. "I will, but first we must go and avenge your papa and momma!" Sin turned his back around, and the little girl jumped up, holding onto Sins shoulders with her hands. Sin flashed into the village radiating his Emperor Aura. All of the raiders powerlessly knelt down to the ground. Sin let the little girl off his back, he withdrew Kaiser from his sheath and gave it to the little girl. "Vent out all your pain and sadness, these bad people do not deserve any mercy." The little girl clumsily held onto Kaiser, but remembering watching as her own papa used to train. She walked forward and slashed down, sending the heads of the raiders rolling. After she was done, she looked at the corpses all around her. "Papa, momma this kind uncle has helped me avenge you. I will become strong one day and make you proud of me." The little girl gave Kaiser back to Sin. She held out her hand on her own this time, Sin covered her little hand and returned back to the Fairy Warriors. When Sin returned he got various questions relating to the little girl. "I heard the distant cries of this little girl. Her village was raided by thieves, I saved her and then allowed her to kill all the raiders to avenge her parents. The Fairy Clan wouldn''t turn a little girl away would they?" Sin explained and questioned back. The warriors hushed up as they looked at the little girl in a new light. Sin took out some water, towels, bandages and a clean pair of clothes. Sin washed off the blood and mud from the little girls body and put bandages on her cuts. After she was changed and cleaned up, the girl looked like a little princess. The girl claimed her spot on Sins back as he ordered aloud. "Move out, we return to the Fairy Clan, bury the dead and honour their sacrifices. I will compensate the families of the dead Warriors." After rushing ahead at top speed for 45 minutes, they had finally returned to the Fairy Clan. Since Sin had been given immunity to the formations, Sin was now able to cross through without any hassles. After they all returned, the Fairy Clan was peaceful again. Rheanon had been captured and locked up, all the traitors had been killed successfully. Sin ordered out his commands. "Bring the dead bodies of the fallen Warriors to their families. Each family gets a pouch with 3,750 gold coins. Inside their pouches are different Sword Methods for them to learn from." Sin then ordered the Generals beside him. "Distribute 125,000 gold coins, and 15,000 pieces of armour and weapons between the remaining warriors who participated in the raid." Alaris came rushing out to see everyone''s return. When she spotted Sin in top condition she heaved a long sigh of relief. Sin asked Alaris. "Do you have any uninhabitable back mountains? I would like to personally build my own lodging for myself and the little girl. That way we won''t get in the way of the Fairy Clan." Alaris nodded before replying back. "10 kilometres south, 7 kilometres east, 4 kilometres west. There is a vast patch of land with a waterfall, various herb gardens and man made training quarters. It was used previously before my father passed away." Sin thanked Alaris sincerely before making his way towards the patch of land. After arriving, Sin took out a hammer, nails, planks of wood and various other tools. Sin quickly built a cabin, and smashed his thumb multiple times drawing many fucks and goddamn that hurt! After the cabin and beds were made. Sin had finally been exhausted, not having Mana or cultivation was starting to become a real bitch of an itch. Sin took out pillows, and blankets from his inventory. After tucking the little girl into bed, Sin was about to leave when she asked. "Uncle, papa and momma used to tell me stories before bed. Could you tell me one?" Sin turned around and temporarily saw Alannahs figure cross over. Sin couldn''t help it. "Of course, I know many stories to tell." And so the night passed peacefully. Sin and the little girl had both fallen asleep reciting, and listening to bedtime stories. Volume 3 Chapter 5: The Process Of Rebirth The next day after waking up at his usual time, Sin reviewed the logs he had awaiting his appraisal. [Congratulations!

The sense of deep guilt and self hate had diminished enough to let Sin function properly, but there would never be a day Sin could truly forgive himself for not being adequate enough to protect his loved ones. Sin consumed the 5 drops of Dragon God Blood. Soon the three clans were alerted by the notifications they heard. But for those in the know, it confirmed all the more. Their Wolf King was still doing his best for them, despite his current situation. Sin was awoken out of his own world, the little girl he rescued the previous night had long since been awake staring intensively at Sin. Sin heard the grumbles of hunger coming from her stomach, and then his fatherly instincts kicked in. "Come little one let me make a yummy breakfast." The little girl followed behind Sin before she talked up. "Nora" Sin looked at the girl once more before he asked. "Is that your name?" Nora nodded before she asked. "What is uncles name?" "Sin" Nora looked confused as she followed Sin into the kitchen part of the cabin. Nora attentively watched Sin as he began taking out various pots and pans to prepare breakfast. "Why is your name Sin?" Sin smiled before he replied. "It is the name I gave myself, I have done many bad things so I go by Sin to remind myself. My life doesn''t belong to just myself, but to the other lives I have taken." "But uncle is a good person, if you weren''t why would you save me and let me avenge my parents?" Sin thought carefully for many seconds. "Your cries for help reminded me of my incapability to protect those I love. I don''t ever want to feel so helpless like that again, that''s why I appeared and took you away with me afterwards." After half a hour of hearing Nora''s growls becoming louder, Sin finished cooking breakfast. Sin had brought plates of fresh fruit, eggs, bacon, sausages, toast, home fries, and various other breakfast favorites. Nora looked on with wide eyes and drooled. Just as Nora was about to dig in, Sin heard knocking on the door. "Go ahead and start eating without me." Sin said while he walked towards the door. After opening it, Alaris and Acacia were waiting outside with a basket of fresh bread. When the aroma of Sins cooking wafted out of the house, their bellies rumbled. "Care to join us for breakfast?" Alaris was the first to walk in following her stomachs demands. Acacia hesitated for a few moments before Sin pulled her in, bringing her to the dining table joining Nora, and Alaris. After everyone had eaten their fill, Nora ran out to go and play. Alaris and Acacia remained as they still had something important to talk about with Sin. Alaris asked with blind hope. "When I found your injured body at sea, I caught a quick glimpse of The Ancient Manual Of Rebirth before it was absorbed into your body. It''s none of my business, but after reading it. Is it possible for your cultivation to return?" Sin wasn''t fazed, nor was he mad. "I don''t know it is possible, but I must complete all the trials head on without backing away from the pain. If I give up halfway, I will permanently remain as a cripple." Alaris and Acacia had a look of relief on their faces. "Truth be told, in two years from now. There is a competition called the King Of Mercenaries being held. The tournament hasn''t been held for the last 500 years, but the Imperial family of the divine continent has decided to restart it. Invitations have been sent out to all the notable families, and clans throughout our world. There will be many strong Mercenaries participating that are lone wolfs, or hired by various clans. The reward for this competition is becoming a pupil under a Grand Master Ranked Swordsman." Sin was in deep thoughts for many minutes. "And I assume you would like me to participate as your candidate for this King Of Mercenaries tournament?" "Yes if you are able to enter into the top 10, we would eternally be in your debt. Any representatives that make it into the top 10 greatly benefits the clan they''re hired by. The higher you rank in the top 10, the more benefits you will get, as well as your sponsoring clan or organization." Sin became serious as he said. "That''s a pretty big gamble to bet on me. I can''t guarantee I will succeed in recovering my cultivation." Acacia said lightheartedly. "Even if you don''t succeed in recovering your cultivation, we would like to sponsor you as our candidate. My daughter has full faith in you to a fanatical state, Alaris has never been wrong in her judgement, so I will trust her" Sin didn''t beat around the bush anymore. "Very well, I will do all that I can to regain my cultivation." Acacia stood up and bowed before Sin. "Thank you Grand Warrior Sin, if you need any help please send Alaris to inform me. The Fairy Clan will repay your kindness and help in any way we can." Acacia left, while Alaris had stayed behind. Sin didn''t complain nor did he mind having extra company. Sin returned to his room and spent the next six hours digesting the content in The Ancient Manual Of Rebirth. First, Sin bit the tip of his finger before writing his name on a contract with his own blood. After that, all of Sins stats he had earned were sucked dry and reverted to 10 for Strength, Intelligence, Agility, Dexterity, Comprehension and Physique. Sin had truly become an average human being on Earth without any impressive cultivation or noticeable stats. Sin exited the cabin and went outside. After he had gotten far away enough, a notification appeared in his vision. [Would you like to begin the process of Rebirth? Yes or No?] Sin clicked on the "Yes" and then out of thin air, a long stretch of an inferno had appeared. Sins instructions followed shortly after the infernos appearance. [You must walk through the inferno without any defenses. The closer you are to dying, the greater amount of Rebirth essence you will gain. If you die within the trial, you truly die. The process of Rebirth is a long and painful one, this is the lesser of your trials. Do you dare to truly rise from the ashes?] Sin got slightly pissed off. Was it him, or were the notification logs starting to mock him? Whatever, that thought flew over Sins head within mere seconds. There was a task at hand that needed to be done, Sin wasn''t the type to back down after he made his decision. Sin took off all his clothes except for the pants he was wearing. Taking his first step into the blazing inferno, allowing his body to be engulfed by the near unbearable pain it caused. Sin gritted his teeth, not willing to show any weakness. After forcing himself to endure the pain for several minutes, Sins entire being became intense as he took his next step. The pain had doubled instantly, causing Sin to grunt from the burning pain. Alaris who had just come out of the cabin was like a nail hammered to the ground. The shock she was feeling had overcome her, she quickly yelled out. "What are you doing you crazy bastard!? Are you trying to kill yourself?" Sin however, was bearing too much pain and couldn''t reply even if he wanted to. Sin watched as the flesh on his body began to sizzle, the pain he was feeling was physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional. This was a type of pain that very few could bear, each passing second his mental state was being overwhelmed by conflicting thoughts. There was a seedling thought of giving up brewing in his mind, but Sin couldn''t allow himself to give up.The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement. To become a powerful person, you must suffer tribulations, challenges, and pain no ordinary people could handle. To become someone who could gain boundless power to protect his loved ones, there was nothing in the galaxies Sin could not handle. Sin walked further into the inferno, after taking 100 steps in Sins flesh had melted off of his body, his skeletal figure was revealed, but it was wrapped around by a strange power that wouldn''t allow him to die. Sins physique, cells, soul, spirit, foundation, crippled cultivation were all being enhanced tremendously. The changes were immediately showing themselves, Sin had gained the strength to press further on. After passing the 100 meter mark, broken glass appeared along the path, there were giant cleavers above in mid air that would split his skeletal frame in half. Various other torturous devices acted as ''check points'' Sin must pass along this new level of the inferno trial. After making it another 75 steps, Sins body fell down due to the increased pain going beyond what he could handle. Sins flesh was being melted off, and regenerating in a continuous cycle of life and death. Each time his fleshly body was becoming stronger, his cells and blood purer, bones tougher, and his crippled cultivation had meager signs of repairing, but it was still better than nothing. Sin looked on as he calculated there to be another 2,825 steps until he passed this trial. Sin could hear the voices of the Wolf God Clan cheering him on, images and memories of Alannah and Samara appeared to his left and right side. Sin stood back up, as he was holding the hands of his two little girls. Their voices full of hope sounded out into Sins ears. "No matter the pain you''re feeling that makes you prefer to die. You must not give up papa! We are waiting for you to come back and reunite with us!" At the end of the inferno path, Sin saw Merala eagerly waiting with a affectionate smile on her face. "Husband, What are you waiting for, don''t you want to feel me in your embrace again?" Sin picked himself back up from the ground, with his hands spread out clasping nothing but air, Sin pushed himself beyond his limits. 200 feet, 300 feet, 500 feet, 900 feet. No matter how intense the pain had become, Sin was no longer giving into it. This pain he was feeling, was nothing compared to the suffering of his daughters without their papa and mom. The agony that drew Merala insane as he died, compared to this meager bit of pain was nothing at all! Sin had entered a blank minded state, his goal was clear and there was nothing left to do but achieve it. 1,200 feet, 1,500 feet, 1,800 feet. Despite his flesh continuously melting off of his body, Sin kept walking forward one step at a time. As if a calm pond without any ripples, Sin found solace in his pain of loss. The Ancient Manual Of Rebirth was the game changer, the golden ticket Sin could redeem himself through. After reaching 2,000 feet into the inferno trial. Phoenix''s, Dragons, Vermilion Birds and Wolfs manifested out of the flames. The manifestations bombarded Sin, pushing him back beyond the 2,000 feet mark and severely weakening him. Sin kept moving forward no matter what he had to face, his body erupted with his battle lust as he pushed forward. Right as one of the manifestations smashed itself into Sins body, Sin raised off his feet and balanced on the tips of his toes. Sin skidded backwards 70 feet, bringing him back to the beginning of the final checkpoint. Wrapping his arms around the wings of the manifestation, Sin heaved upwards sending it spiraling through the air. Sin spent the next six hours being pushed back, flinging manifestations into the air and continuing on his process. Just 100 feet left to go, but the difficulty had surged 10X. After Sin took his first step, he stood in place with a look of disbelief. So many untold words and emotions coursed through him, disrupting his mental and emotional state. The figures before him were Merala, Jasmine, Glaze, and the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team members. "You let all of us die!" "Husband, you''re worse than trash!" "Big brother, you failed to protect me twice. Burn in hell!" "Team Leader, your a reckless fool who always causes misfortune for those around you!" "Sin, your fists may be strong, but you''re the reason we are all dead. What is the point of those strong fists of yours now!?" Then Sin noticed a young girl in the arms of Meralas manifestation. "Daddy, I called out to you to save mom so many times. But all you did was ignore it! You''re not worthy of the second chance of life you''ve been given!" Sin felt the exact same feeling of bloodline in this little girl as he did trapped in his Heart World. Sin staggered backwards with his head hanging down in shame. "What, do you not dare look at us? Do you feel guilt, grief, sadness even? You should, you''re the reason we all died, your nothing but a powerless man with honorable thoughts, but could never execute them." Sin began doubting himself, and this is when the danger truly showed itself. With this momentary relapse of doubt, the melted part of Sins body didn''t regenerate. The pain shot through the roof, making Sin scream as he barely held his life in his own hands. "You never let yourself get help from others. You carry all the weight yourself, and that is why we are all dead!" Sin struggled to rid himself of his self doubt, Sin knew this was part of the trial. Or maybe this was a trial for himself? "I''m sorry I let you all die." Sin mumbled weakly. "You''re sorry? It is a little bit too late to be sorry! Because of you, my daughter is going to be born without a father!" Commander Glaze yelled, running forward and smashing his fist into Sins ribcage. "Because of you, Seraphim had to watch me die!" Sin fell to his knees, coughing up all the content in his stomach. "I know that I always do things myself without any help. But I couldn''t allow myself to let you all fight with me against Solarus'' forces." Sin said. The little girl jumped down from Meralas arms and made her way over to Sin. After arriving in front of Sin, the little girl knelt down as she looked into Sins eyes. "You''ve made everyone suffer daddy. I died without once feeling your loving touch. Mom suffered so much grief." Sin hurriedly hugged his would''ve been daughter into his embrace. "I''m sorry I am such a failure!" Sin wept as he hugged his little girl tightly. "Sorry isn''t enough for all the pain you''ve caused!" A dagger found its way plunged into Sins abdomen. While Sin could have easily dodged such an obvious attack, Sin could not get himself to let go of his daughter. "I know no matter what I do, there is no way to reverse my actions. If you so please, you can take my life." Merala rushed forward, grabbing the back of Sins head and smashed down onto the infernos path. "IDIOT, FOOL, DESPICABLE!" "Why is it always about you? All of us are here for you, yet you continue to push us all away. Your actions caused so much unnecessary pain. I would''ve preferred to die fighting with you, instead of seeing my husband''s corpse, and my daughters empty eyes as they carried it across the fucking battlefield!" "Remember husband, our daughters are the ones who have to suffer the most! Even now, they are without us. And all you can do is apologize?!" Meralas words ripped through Sins heart, Sin stood back up and continued walking through the trial. Swords, daggers, sabers, flames, torturous equipment tortured Sin physically and spiritually. When Sin was nearing the last 15 steps, Sin looked back as he watched all his loved ones hurl their weapons into his body. "All of this is but illusions, and the torture in my heart. But all of you are right, I slap away the hands that can help me. I cause pain for many intentionally, bearing the weight on my shoulders alone. I''m sorry to all of you, but I cannot allow my doubts to take my life away yet." Sin walked the final steps through the inferno hell, after exiting Sins eyes were wet as he panted exhausted. Sin fell back onto his back, as a log appeared in his vision. [Congratulations! You have begun the process of Rebirth. To truly become reborn, you must conquer your physical, and emotional states. You may feel endless pain, but it is not okay to cower away and throw yourself into agony. Only the spirit of redemption can break through the chains of sorrow. Emotions are a source of power, but do not lose yourself within them.] After Sin had read his log, and thought about it on a personal level for a long time. Sin was brought back to his senses when Nora had shoved his body many times. "Uncle are you okay?" Nora looked worriedly at Sin. Sin smiled. "Yes, I am okay Nora." "Can you teach me combat techniques?" Nora asked with firm resolution. "It is a very repetitive and long road Nora, are you sure you want to take this road?" Nora nodded her head. "I want to become strong for dad and mom. Uncle has also gotten considerably weak since last night." "Very well, we will begin training right away." Sin said as he got up. Sin opened up his status page, then went into his Guidance tab adding Nora''s name to the list. After that was done, Sin took out a sword from his inventory and asked Nora for her hand. Nora gave Sin her hand with blind trust, Sin used the sword and left a deep cut across Nora''s hand. "There are various dangers and pains involved with training. Do you still wish to proceed?" Sin asked again to reconfirm. Nora looked at the blood rolling down her hand, without any signs of fear or pain she said with confidence. "I do!" Sin nodded his head and begun demonstrating the basics of Blood Dragon Sword Methods, Blood Dragon Fortress Sword Methods, as well as the Wolf King Sword Methods. While Sin was taking his trial, it felt like an entire day went by. But in reality less than 45 minutes passed, while demonstrating the fundamentals to Nora. Sin began reading through the various other methods of stimulating the Rebirth essence. Sin walked over to Nora without any defense on him. "Nora use your fundamentals to train with my bare body." Another way of stimulation was taking physical damage to the body of all various kinds. Sin had already begun forming various self torture plans, such as building an obstacle course with wooden logs swinging, walking through a trail of sharpened blades, smashing his body into rocks and various others. Nora was uncertain at first, but she quickly did as she was told. Sin explained it was a way of his own personal training for pain tolerance. When Alaris saw how Sin was training himself, she was freaked out and frightened he would end up dying. His next words assured her. "Part and parcel for The Ancient Manual Of Rebirth. Also when you go back down the mountain to the Fairy Clan, bring various experts at hand to hand combat, sword combat, and magical combat back with you. The more the merrier, they all must be willing to use me as their grinding stone for their abilities." After the sun had gone down and the moon had hung high in the sky. Sin brought the exhausted Nora back into the cabin. Sin bathed her, and then made a hearty supper. After tucking Nora into bed, and reciting bedtime stories. Sin left the room and went to go and patch himself up. However, to his surprise, all of his injuries had long been healed. No traces of any scar tissue was left on his body. Sin quietly closed the cabin door behind him, walking out into the vast plot of land all around. Sin took out various planks of wood, thatch, timber and other various materials. Which Sin gained from raiding Beast Man camps after helping Phoenix Heart Clan in their time of crisis. Sin began building up his personal torture land of rebirth, when Sin was done he gauged it to be about 3:30 in the morning. Sin used the sheath of Kaiser to pat his way over towards a nearby tree. After climbing up it, Sin raised his head as he looked into the night sky. Of course he couldn''t see, but Sin began imaging all of the Wolf God Clan, his two precious daughters, Merala, Lan his master and various other people. After today''s trial, it had ripped Sin open. All this time, Sin had been running from his pain and hiding it deep within himself. Always a stubborn bastard who didn''t accept other peoples help, yet it was this trait that caused the agony of his loved ones, as well as the death of his brothers and sisters who desperately fought at the end to avenge him. Sin made a vow to himself, to no longer run away from his emotions, as a man one must come to terms with himself, accept his weakness and build upwards. And to start receiving help from others, instead of slapping their hands away. ----------------------------- Elsewhere in the Wolf God Clan. Alannah and Samara were gazing up at the stars in the night sky. "Papa is watching the sky just as we are. It''s been a long six months now, do you think papa has fully recovered Alannah?" Samara asked. Alannah nodded her head. "Papa is a strong man, there is nothing that papa cannot do." Samara hugged tighter into Alannah. "Will you one day leave me like papa and mom?" Alannahs expression dampened. "I will never leave your side, you''re my sister. Papa did what he had to do to protect us, mom and big sister Jasmine are only gone temporarily. Papa will be able to communicate with us soon." Samara began weeping. "I miss mom and papa, I would sleep cuddled in between them every night." Alannah began gently and affectionately stroking Samaras long hair, this was the only thing that would calm her down. "I miss mom and papa as well Samara. We have to be strong, train hard, live well, and care for each other. We have uncle Midnight who loves us just as much as mom and papa. Uncle Midnight has told us earlier today that papa is rebuilding his cultivation." Samara had fallen asleep exhausted in Alannahs embrace. Alannah wiped the tears from the corner of Samaras eyes. Alannah reached her hand up into the night sky, whispering words that could never cross the void between. "We miss you papa!" Volume 3 Chapter 6: Madman Sin jumped down from the tree, shook his head violently and slapped his face multiple times. "Get yourself together Sin, this isn''t the person you are!" Sin quickly went back into the cabin quietly and left a note for Nora. [I am outside in the back training, come get me when you wake up, I will make breakfast for us.] Sin left the cabin quietly and began constructing the rest of his training paradise. Four hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the sun had already risen. Claiming its existence and authority, looking down on all present in this world. Since Nora hadn''t awoken yet, Sin decided to get a head start with training. Stripping all his clothes except for his pants, Sin made his way over to a forest of swinging wood logs. Sin had constructed auto moving mechanical devices, each of these devices had fine steel wire nailed into the wooden logs. On top of the logs were 200 pound boulders, increasing the momentum and weight. Besides these boulders and logs of wood, Sin set up an array of fine steel wire into formations. If Sin couldn''t handle the blows and was knocked backwards, his flesh and bones would be shredded by the steel wire. Sin moved in front of a log, his leg purposely tripped another set of wires. This let go of some restraints on the mechanism, the log tripled in speed smashing into Sins upper body. Sin heard the sound of his bones shattering, then moments later, the essence of Rebirth pervaded his bones. Healing and strengthening them instantaneously. Sin took another strike this time, there was one single bone left un-shattered. Before the essence could properly heal Sin, the log sped up again, smashing into Sin and sending him flying through a spider web of fine steel wire. All the flesh and bones on Sins back, down to his ankles had been shredded through. The essence of Rebirth this time was double the amount than before. This further proved Sins theory, the closer to death he was. The more benefits he would gain from the essence of Rebirth. Another three hours passed, not once did Sin grunt, or yell from the pain. Nora came out yawning, when she saw the sight of Sins body shredded through. Nora screamed in fright. "Uncle Sin, you''re so badly injured! Let me patch you up." Then in front of her very own eyes, Nora saw a golden aura surge from within Sins body. All the exterior, and interior injuries had been healed instantly. Sin walked out of his forest of bone shredding as he coined it. With a towel in his hand wiping all the sweat off his body. "How did you sleep last night Nora?" Sin asked as he sat down beside her on the back deck he built. "I was so tired after uncle''s training, even now I feel like my body is made up of lead." Sins hand shot out, hitting, massaging and stimulating various pressure points. Nora''s face immediately calmed as the stress was lifted. "Well what would you like for breakfast Nora?" Sin asked Nora''s eyes lit up at the mention of Sins offer. "I want uncles bacon, eggs, home fries with juice and fruit!" Nora shouted out with excitement and a rumbling stomach. Sin went into the cabin, and thirty minutes later breakfast was prepared. Sin and Nora sat at the table to eat together. This was a tradition Sin brought from Earth. While they didn''t need to eat as they began their cultivation, good food was always a way to bring friends and family together. After finishing breakfast, Sin and Nora went out to Sins training grounds. Nora looked at all the mechanisms and training units with hard to conceal curiosity. Nora curiously reached her hand out touching the mechanisms. When Sin heard the sound of a sharp "Twang!" The first thought that came to his mind was. "Fuck me." Sin appeared in front of Nora, four dozen arrows now stuck out of Sins body making him look like a porcupine. Sin didn''t rebut Nora, nor scold her, but with a calm voice Sin said. "Be careful Nora, there are plenty of dangers the moment you move past the deck." Nora looked at Sin frightened and with a timid voice she said. "I''m sorry uncle, I promise it wasn''t on purpose!" After ripping the arrows out of himself, Sin washed the tips off and reloaded the empty storage. Walking forward to Nora and kneeling down in front of her, Sin patted Nora''s head with affection. "It is okay Nora, it''s not your fault." Sin then pointed at his chest and said. "Look, no injuries are left on my body. I wasn''t hurt in the least bit." Nora finally cheered up after Sin confirmed over and over again he was okay. After that, Sin started training Nora. Nora showed excellent results, after just learning the basics of swordsmanship the other day. Nora had already made as much progress as Lan did within three weeks, but only within one day. Sin was thoroughly shocked and pleased by this, Nora was a little sword monster and Sin was going to do all he could to carefully refine this diamond. After three hours passed, Alaris had returned with over 7,500 Master, 4,000 Grand Master, and 25 Saint Ranked professed personnel of the Fairy Clan. After their Mana surged out, seeing the 30 miles behind Sins and Noras cabin. Their jaws widened uncontrollably almost almost hitting the ground. "Holy fuck! This is a land of pure and utter madness" The various Fairies exclaimed in groups, even the Grand Masters who had a firm mentality got cold chills. Upon seeing the look on the various faces. Sin smiled as he declared loudly. "I am sure Alaris had filled you in on my circumstances. All of you who have agreed to come here, training begins immediately. I am your dummy, all of you may use any and all of your abilities to grind with my body." The moment Sin finished his statement, one of the Saint Rank elders appeared before Sin. The elders hand chopped down slowly, but the feeling Sin got was as if the sky was falling upon his shoulders. After the attack connected, a huge "BOOM!" resounded as Sin was blown by 350 feet and through many steel wire spiderwebs. To everyone''s surprise, they saw the nearly severed right part of Sins body reconnect. Then the various broken bones, and various holes in Sins body regenerated at a speed that was conceivable by the eyes. Within fifteen seconds, Sin was whole again without any scar tissue or fractures. "Again! No sleep for the wicked respected elders, all of you had better come at me with all you got until you drop dead from exhaustion!" Sin flashed into the crowd of elders at amazing speed, despite his only current 10 points for each attribute, Sin still had his insane abilities that could produce heaven defying results. Sins hand chopped at one of the elders jugular, the elders hand grabbed out locking Sins fist into submission. Then with his own fist, smashed out into Sins body multiple times. Each attack felt like it was Sins own Thunder Lords Descent smashing into his body. However, Sin was all smiles and pumped up like a maniac. Just from these few rounds, the efficiency had already passed what Sin had gained for the previous three hours. Magic, swords, fists, elbows, legs, sabers, spears, formations all descended upon Sin, no matter how the elders tried to kill Sin with their techniques. It was impossible, Sin recovered immediately afterwards and was more robust than before his regeneration. The elders were frightened, but their eyes also blazed with excitement. What Alaris had told them was true, they could truly hone their abilities without any real harm. Sins voiced yelled out to the Masters and Grand Masters. "The fuck are you all standing around for? Make yourselves useful and get your asses into this mix now!"The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. While Sin was being bombarded by tens of thousands of attacks every second, the Dragon essence, and Rebirth essence went into overdrive. Sins body was constantly being enhanced and regenerating at massive speeds. The massive amount of Chaos energy reserves were also playing their part, Sin was truly a cockroach in every similarity. Sin had decided to spice things up, during the massive beating he was taking, Rebirth trial clouds had appeared over him in the sky. The period of time would last for three hours, and was just like the very first trial he had gone through. There was the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional aspect to it. The second stage of the Ancient Manual Of Rebirths trial wasn''t as forgiving. If Sin slipped up for even a second, he would be struck dead by the trials thunder. However, if Sin were to succeed. This would truly be a huge blessing, with four massive components refining his very being, repairing his cultivation, and fighting to his heart''s content with 11,525 Master Rank professed experts and above. Sins progress would sky rocket to unimaginable heights over a prolonged period of time. Nora was practicing the fundamentals while all of these Masters, Grand Masters and Saints pummeled Sin with all of their abilities. Alaris was watching Sins figure with hazy eyes, only she could understand the reasons why Sin was doing such a crazy thing. This made her heart throb more and more as she thought about it. To redeem himself as a man, bearing the weight of this pain alone. Sin had moved further into the depths of this land of torture he created. While doing so, Sin had yelled out all the instructions to avoid these helpers from being accidentally injured. Sin unsheathed Kaiser and began grinding his fundamentals against Grand Master Ranked Swordsman. This was his only regret out of the group of people here. There was no Saint Rank Swordsman present. Despite all of these factors, and his near unending supply of energy. After two and a half hours, Sin was finally starting to feel exhausted. The Rebirth trials truly broke one down to their very lowest, then elevated them to the highest after passing. Everyone present was stunned, this fiend had finally started to slip up and make mistakes in his posture and attacks. But what was even more shocking, over 4,000 people had already been completely drained unable to move a finger. Whereas Sin was only starting to reach that point. When there was only fifteen minutes left of the Rebirth trial, fifteen clouds appeared in the sky. All of them began raining hell down on Sin the moment they appeared. Sin found he could no longer control the trial like he was before. Sin hurriedly yelled out to everyone. "Get out of here immediately! I am no longer able to control this last part of my trial." Sure enough as testament to Sins words, a bolt of lightning struck down, severely injuring and nearly taking the life of a Saint elder. Seeing this, everyone escaped in all directions at top speed. Sin activated the Withering Sword Dance, holding Kaiser with both hands. Sin held his ground as he severed each bolt of lightning that struck down. Merala had manifested once again to his left and his would be daughter to his right. This time, Sin was well prepared and wouldn''t be shaken again. Despite their endless attacks, distraction and pulling at his heart strings. Sins will stayed sharp like a sword, unwilling to lose sight of himself. Soon five minutes quickly passed by, 25 more trial clouds appeared. This time, the lightning bolts had taken the shape as Dragons. The more Sin raged and fought back, the stronger they became. After no longer being able to fend himself anymore, Sin was blasted backwards as various lightning Dragons surrounded him. Sin forcefully stabilized and shot forward again, this time Sins eyes started to light up like the lightning in the sky. Sins hair spiked as it stood on end like a porcupine. A glob of violent lightning shot out, then Sin reached out and absorbed it into himself. Racing forward Sin had begun his desperate fight against the Rebirth trial. [Mystic Sorcery: Lightning Grand Cross!] Ever since absorbing the Rebirth essence, Sin had felt a feeling of similarity to his Mystic Energy. Finally capitalizing on the moment, Sin followed his gut feeling and found out to his surprise he could use Mystic Sorcery again. This had thrilled Sin, it was like that feeling of losing your favorite game, and then you find it years down the road. With the aid of his Mystic Sorcery now, Sins eyes lit up once again as he used Mystic Unity. The feeling of being in control of his own power washed over Sin all over again. Sins exhaustion quickly recovered from his overwhelming excitement taking over. For the remaining period of time, Sin fought back against the Rebirth trial with all he had. With each passing minute, 25 more trial clouds appeared. While Sin had narrowly avoided dying on multiple occasions, Sins battle lust which had been dormant for so long reawakened. Sins aura shot through the sky, cleaving through many trial clouds. "A mere trial dares to try and take away my life? How laughable, I will tear all trials asunder within my path!" Sin roared defiantly as Kaiser began changing into the Great Sword form. Seeing the clouds multiply and the various dragons rage at Sins insolence. The Rebirth trials had a mind of their own, and none throughout history who dared to curse it survived. The lightning Dragons began combining into one body. After the fusion was completed, a massive lightning Dragon hovered in mid air, within its claws a thin sword radiating black lightning was held. "Foolish human, I have given you the chance to inherit my Ancient Manual Of Rebirth. Your audacity to defy my will through your trials is superb. However, right now you''re still a cripple who has only gained a meager inkling of Rebirth essence. I will strike you down, and make you learn your place!" The lightning Dragon held its sword with both hands. A formation appeared hovering behind it, a black-purple Yin and Yang symbol began taking shape. "I do not wish to kill, but to put you in your place for your following trials. If you can manage to withstand this, I will make your true Rebirth upgrade by one tier. What do you say Wolf King Sin, do you take my bet?" Sin smiled hearing the provocation in the lightning Dragons voice. "It''s normally me provoking my opponents, not the other way around. But no matter, I will tear you asunder!" Sins aura surged another notch, a large pair of pristine white wings spread out from Sins back. The bandage from the end of Kaisers hilt wrapped around Sins arm all the way up his forearm. A golden Emperor aura covered Sins body in a battle robe. A wall of lightning surged out of Sins body, expanding over 200 meters in height and length. The lightning Dragon looked at Sin appreciatively. "You''re truly worth investing in human. Ever since I began watching your performances at Desolate Kingdom, I have had this feeling I would be connected to your rehabilitation. It seems I wasn''t wrong. Do not let the Rebirth Ancestress down, she is a wicked woman from outside of the System we are trapped within! The lightning Dragon got into a stance focused purely on attack. Its black lightning also surged out of its body, creating a massive wall of lightning as it stood separate from Sin. Sin and the lightning Dragon raced towards each other immediately. Lightning covered the blade of Kaiser, as the word Emperor appeared on its blade. [Sky Conqueror: Empress Lightning Blade!] [Lightning Form: Thunder Clap Of Bronte!] Both attacks met each other full power, as their walls of lightning energy collided with a resounding clap of thunder. Thankfully before the attacks collided, the lightning Dragon had sealed Sin and itself in an independent formation. That however, wasn''t enough to stop the loud explosion of the shockwaves. Everyone within the surrounding 2,000 kilometres of the Fairy Clans land went deaf hearing the massive explosion. After the effects of the attack displayed itself, Sin and the lightning Dragons weapon had pierced through each other. Both of them smiled to each other "Not bad for a human, I will keep my word." The lightning Dragon then disappeared. Despite the brutal exchange of attacks, Sin had instantly regenerated again to top shape. Looking around at the shocked looks of everyone present. Sin who was bursting full of energy again asked aloud. "Who wants to continue grinding?" After being nearly beaten to death 30,000 times in one day. Sin had finally thrown in the towel for the day, 11,525 Master and above experts left this part of the land exhausted. They quickly used what energy was left inside their bodies, building various cabins, and simple houses with the most basic necessities to save travel time between large distances. Sin cooked a massive dinner for him and Nora. After spending over 2 hours cooking, and giving Nora a couple snacks to tie her over. Sin had brought out 100 different plates of food, Noras eyes shined bright like the stars in the sky as her stomach grumbled in anticipation. After supper Sin did the dishes, bathed Nora recited bedtime stories and then went out of the cabin quietly again. Sin read the one flashing log he had been holding off on reading since surviving the lightning Dragons final attack. [Congratulations! your cultivation base has been repaired by 0.03% This is just enough for you to gain access to the Mystic Sorcery Tree, Mystic Blade Empress Sword Tree, and Mystic Soul Refinement Tree.] Sin was beyond ecstatic, finally he could continue to develop his class, and profession. Sin entered into the Sword Tree with excitement, seeing as how it was the exact same before his fight with Solarus'' army. Sin was beyond happy, he couldn''t help but mutter beneath his voice. "Master I am still alive!" Elsewhere, Mystic Blade Empress who was surrounded by billions of corpses laid up against a tree exhausted and nearly dying. The sudden connection of Sin once again entering the Sword Tree awoke her from her slumber. She diverted her Mana, and her soul entered into the Sword Tree. When she saw her precious disciple training like a madman. A smile of relief finally appeared on her face. Looking at how hard her disciple was training, the exhaustion built up in her body vanished. "If you can train so hard despite your circumstances being worse than mine. So can I, how could you ever call me master if I can''t even keep up with my own disciple!?" Mystic Blade Empress exited, using the hilt of her Soul Weapon to help her up. She once again began her training, to redeem herself of the shame and guilt she had. It was due to her own lack of power, Sin had sacrificed his cultivation base. It was due to her own lack of power, Sin went berserk at the death of his wife and loved ones. Never again would she allow herself to bear that humiliation, shame and guilt inside! And so just like that, began Sins grueling two years of training nonstop. Torturing himself within his own paradise. Training in Mystic Sword Techniques, Mystic Sorcery, Mystic Soul Refinery, facing various Rebirth trials, and fighting 11,525 Master rank and above experts. Raizens name within the Fairy Clan was quickly replaced with the title Madman. Volume 3 Chapter 7: Overcoming The Rebirth Tribulation After two years of gruesome training, and unimaginable amounts of blood shed. During the day while Sin was completing his last Rebirth trial. Sins entire body shimmered in ancient golden light. From inside to the outside, Sins cultivation was being repaired and his body was being reforged to the highest degree he achieved. After such a long time of not having any cultivation at all, Sin was beyond excited. When his cultivation was fully repaired, he would be able to swap places with Midnight Reaper to see both of his daughters. While Nora had become very close and attached to Sin. There was this feeling of longing that Sin couldn''t get rid of. No matter how he tried, there was no way of losing this innate sense of longing. Golden thunder clouds began billowing in the sky. Defying the heavens by repairing his broken cultivation, without going through the Rebirth cycle was against the heavenly laws. While this had made Sin unimaginably stronger, the tribulation Sin would face would also reflect that. Up in the sky of the Fairy Clan, images of Phoenix''s, Vermilion Birds, Wolfs, and Dragons shocked the whole clan. On this day, Alaris had left Sins and Noras cabin for the first time in 14 months to visit her mother. When she arrived and felt the suffocating Qi in the sky. Alaris looked towards the direction of Sins place. A smile full of a maiden''s love and cheer was sewn on her face. "You''ve finally done it Sin! Every single waking second of pain, and torture. You''re finally able to be reborn from the ashes of defeat!" Kaiser floated out of Sins Soul Weapon with hope in his eyes for the first time in two years. The young spirit looked at Sin with longing eyes. "Father! For the last two years I couldn''t feel your connection. Although you would wield me everyday, I couldn''t feel your life at all until today." Sin smiled seeing the little boy again. "I''m sorry to make you worry Kaiser. I have yet to truly finish my Rebirth process. We must pass this tribulation for defying heavenly laws." "Fuck the heavenly laws, I will cleave them in half!" Kaiser spat full of might Sin was enjoying the feeling of his Mana rotating within his body, his long since dried up body began bursting full of energy. Sin yelled to everyone present. "All of you had best roll out of here. This beauty isn''t your ordinary trial, get back to the Fairy Clan immediately and activate all the defensive arrays." The Saint elders who have gone through various tribulations themselves noticed the threat of Sins current tribulation. Without waiting for a moment longer, they enveloped everyone with their Mana and shot away at full speed. Some had already sent warning messages to both Alaris and Acacia. Given that both mom and daughter knew everything about Sin up until this point, they took the warnings to heart, raising all the defensive arrays without missing a beat. This tribulation had shaken up the entire continent the Fairy Clan was on. All the major powers began rushing towards Sins direction with godspeed. Thirty seconds had passed since the initiation of his tribulation, and this was more than enough time for the old monsters to appear. Sin noticed their presence and quickly equipped a black cloak, covering his face and body completely. The last thing he needed was to draw anymore attention. The first bolt of lightning fell, it took the shape of a massive giant wielding a hammer. Sin who had his cultivation fully restored jumped off the ground like a rocket. In his wakes was a two kilometre deep crater. Sin swiped up with Kaiser, fighting full force against the tribulation giant. "KLANG!" The sound wave echoed out throughout the entirety of the Fairy Clan, the earth rumbled violently splitting at the epicenter beneath the clash. The giant hammer was repelled by Sins full powered attack, Sin shot forward with a fist full of flames. Punching out a giant fist of Phoenix Queen shot forward, engulfing the giant within. Without wasting anymore time, Sin took out a spare weapon. Holding the hilt of the weapon parallel to his hips, Sin stabbed backwards. The spare weapon easily pierced through the giants fist, sparks flew out as the blade bounced off unimaginably strong bone. Sin was blasted forward, despite the massive force making his hair and clothes a mess, Sin was relatively well off. "COME ON WITH ALL YOU GOT!" Sin roared aloud while sprouting a brilliant pair of Black Flame wings from his back. Sins body was engulfed by Sacred Flames, since the most important aspect was to hide his true identity. Sin had spent a long time pushing forward the [Sacred Flame Refinement Method] that his master passed onto him earlier on. Sin was like the immortal who controlled all fire. Sins various Mystic Flames combined, creating a new set of Refinement Armour. When Sins figure was revealed from the flames, Sins Black Flame Wings were connected to a mirror made out of the Phoenix Queen Sacred Flame. This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Sins hands to his forearms became like molten lava gauntlets, his feet to his calves were protected by molten lava combat boots. The rest of his body was covered in a upper body black-gold armour, and his combat pants were a white-blue flame wrapped around his lower body. Acacia arrived at the scene with Alaris and all the Saint rank elders in the Fairy Clan. Acacia had a pissed off look on her face as she talked daggers to those around Sin. "Unexpected guests, don''t you think its rude to arrive in my backyard without announcing yourselves first!?" A middle aged man came forward with his hands cupped, and bowed towards Acacia. "Matriarch Acacia, I apologize for my unwanted visit. But I couldn''t help but come to admire this youth, he who has yet to reach his second advancement has already triggered a tribulation. It would be a shame to not see what kind of person who could causes such wrathful Heavenly Tribulation to descend." Acacia looked at everyone else present with daggers in her eyes. "Since the rest of you are many beats too late thinking about how to appease me. All of you can get the fuck out of my backyard before I kill you foolish fuckers!" The others who arrived had sour looks on their face. One women came forward and said equally heaved. "Who the fuck do you think you are Acacia? Do you believe your weak Fairies physique can take me on!?" Sin flashed and appeared in front of this woman without any spatial disturbance. Sins hand clasped her throat and raised her high into the air above him. "You heard my matriarchs words, roll the fuck out of our backyard!" Sin then threw the woman, a massive sonic boom sounded out as she was launched flying backwards without a moment to process what just happened. Sin then with a fist of his own, smashed out into the tribulation giants fist and crumbled it with all his might. "I hope all of you present elders can understand the two warning I have shown you all. If you do not, I will not hesitate to make more warnings out of those who dare disrespect my Matriarch!" Sin berated the elders loudly without giving any respect. All of the elders present frowned, feeling a suffocating pressure from Sin. This young man before their eyes was truly bold, but his own prowess was enough to back it up. The man who had made peace with Acacia stepped forward. "You heard Acacia and this young man, roll the fuck out of here!" His aura surged shooting through the sky, all the elders present were strong, but they were still far from equals with this man. All of them had looks of distaste, but no longer dared to stay around. Seeing them all return to their respective clans, the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Matriarch Acacia, I hope you can accept Tyrants most humble apologies." Acacia smiled seeing this. "Brother Tyrant, you may stay and watch if you so please." "I''d love to." Tyrant replied with a genuine smile. Taking out a lawn chair and reclining on it with a keg of Spirit Wine. "Come join me sisters, this wine has been fermenting for 3,000 years. I''m sure you''d enjoy it." Tyrant said while inviting Acacia and Alaris. Both mother and daughter sat down, enjoying the wine and show of Sins tribulation. Lightning bolts were descending from the sky nonstop. The giant kept getting stronger the longer it was summoned. Sin was finally showing signs of being beaten back, but this in itself was already impressive. Sin had been combating this tribulation head on for ten minutes, only when it was nearing its end was he losing. The cloud formed a cyclone, spiraling down into the giants body. The giant enlarged by 75 feet, and its power alone caused Acacia, and Tyrant to start sweating. Sin looked at the enlarged giant, feeling the threat of death radiating from it. Hardening his eyes, Sin entered into a tranquil state, all of his aura reconvened within his body. Although Sins exterior was as calm as can be, the interior was like a raging tsunami within himself. Sins eyes were closed, with hands on Kaisers sheath and hilt. The surrounding clouds began moving away from Sin and the tribulation giant. The wind began howling loudly, giving testament to the storm brewing within man and tribulation. Lightning began crackling on the outside of Sins body, Kaiser started glowing with blinding rays of light. When the tribulation giant began making its move, Sin shut eyes snapped open with lightning sparkling within his Mystic Unity state. Sin flashed forward, jumping over the giants fist and stabbing Kaiser through its hard arm. Sin began running full speed up the arm, when he was halfway up he side stepped to the left side at break neck speeds. Kaiser ripped open the chest of the tribulation giant, Sin then launched himself up diagonally towards the tribulation giants head. Criss-crossing Sin had formed a long chain of lightning that wrapped the giants body. With its body restrained and unable to move, Sin flashed above the tribulation giants head. With Kaiser held up high in the sky with both hands, Sin propelled himself downwards at full speed, slicing through the tribulation giant, clouds and first layer of the atmosphere itself. [Mystic Sorcery: Lightning Grand Cross!] Lightning sparked forming a beautiful tree in the sky above Fairy Clan, all those present admired the scenery in the sky. All the elders who had been shooed away, gathered once more. The man whose secondary branch of the Black Rock Organization was destroyed recently stood forward. "I believe Acacia is planning to hire that monstrous youth as the Fairy Clans representative for the upcoming King Of Mercenaries Tournament. It is in all of our best interests, when the divine continent sends their ships over to pick up the representatives. There will be an ''accident'' at sea where that youth and other candidates die." All the elders present, especially the women who was thrown away by Sin personally was most pleased with this idea. She came forward and said. "I have hidden a mutated Kraken at sea, it has somehow inherited the bloodline of the Divine Thunder Shark. It has passed it''s second promotion, and can easily deal with those who have stabilized their cultivation after their third promotion. Unless that punk is some kind of Immortal reborn in the lower domains, his death is assured." After Sin had passed the tribulation with passing colours, there were a multitude of logs awaiting for his appraisal. But Sin didn''t give a damn about that right now, instantly without warning Midnight Reaper, he swapped places with Midnight Reaper. When Sin was in Midnight Reapers body with his portion of their soul, he could hear Midnight Reaper spitting curses and grievances like he were Biggie Smalls. Volume 3 Chapter 8: Surging Emotions, Reunion Of Family And Brothers Sin spread his Mana throughout the Wolf God Clan, sensing the huge progress everyone has made in two years, Sin was thoroughly shocked and pleased. The Wolf God Clan, Vermilion Bird and Phoenix Heart Clans became one big family. All the elders, warriors, and children mixed together perfectly. There were no disputes between them, everyone was working towards equal goals. And at the very center of the shopping district, there was a statue of Mystic Blade Empress erected. Sin stealthily snuck into the Martial Hall, there were millions inside sparring, training, deriving the Primordial Chaos and Major Destruction laws within. After inspecting the Martial Hall, Sin went onto inspecting the Dungeon that made him break the bank. Sin made his rounds through the Wolf God Clan, the surrounding 1,800 miles had become land exclusive to them. Sin noticed there were various portals set up, one he knew was connected to the Capital City, but the others he was unsure of. However, there seemed to be no harm done, so Sin put the worries out of his mind. After locking onto Alannahs and Samaras positions with his Mana, Sin cloaked his own Mana and bloodline with his Rebirth Essence. When Sin appeared, he saw both Alannah and Samara sparring together. His two little girls had grown so much in just 2 years time, they had both grown to be taller than 4 feet. Combat robes wrapped around their bodies, the mere pressure from their spar alone was enough to make Sin sweat. His precious daughters were two little monsters! After sitting there silently for a hour watching his daughters spar together. They had both decided to take a break, and get some lunch. Just as they turned their backs, and were ready to leave their training field. Sins voice echoed out behind them, they stood still in shock as if they were nails hammed into the ground. "You have grown so much my daughters." Alannah and Samara stood in place with disbelief, as if they were nails hammered into the ground. Quickly both of the girls turned around, when they saw Sins smile on his face, felt his Mana and their bloodline connecting once again. All disbelief was erased from their minds. Alannah shot forward at top speed, when Alannah was about three kilometres away from Sin, she jumped and launched herself flying forwards. Sin caught Alannah like a football, and spinned Alannah in the air multiple times. For the first time in two and a half years, Alannah let out cheerful laughter that hasn''t been heard since her papas and mothers absence. Alannah wrapped her arms around Sin, and her wings sprouted from her back, tightly wrapping around Sins neck. Alannah whispered into her papas ears. "Papa we missed you so much! Samara has had a really hard time without you and mom over this period of time, please go and spend more time with Samara to help calm her." Sin hugged Alannah tightly and gave her a kiss on her forehead. Sin said with a shaky voice. "I am sorry you have had to be so strong Alannah, papa promises he will never make the same mistakes again." Sin gently put Alannah back on the ground. Sin walked towards Samara, when he was halfway there, Samaras nine tails became agitated. Her hands balled up into fists, and tears began streaming down her eyes. "I hate you your a bad papa! Get away from me! It''s all your fault we had to cry ourselves to sleep for the last two and a half years! It''s your fault mom died! It''s your fault for being prideful!" Samara screamed her heart out, her yells were so loud they spread out throughout the entire Wolf God Clan. Over 90,000,000 people heard the pain in Samaras voice, the sadness, grievance, and hate she felt towards her papa. Samara flashed away, leaving Sin stuck in place like a stone statue. Knowing that Samara was right in everything she just said. Sin sighed to himself and shook his head. Alannah appeared beside Sin and held his hand with both of hers. "Samara doesn''t truly hate you papa, she knows you did what you had to so you could protect us. Samaras just overwhelmed with emotions right now, every night when she would sleep, she would call out for you. Often times her nightmares would wake her up, the only way to calm her down was for me to gently comb her hair with my hands." Sin knelt down and took out a bowl of food from his inventory, using his Sacred Flame Sin heated it up to the perfect temperature for Alannah. Sin reached out and ruffled Alannahs hair and said. "I am very sorry Alannah, it must''ve been so hard on you my little girl. Papa is sorry for being a useless man, for now here is the stir fry you loved so much. I will make a proper and nutritious supper tonight when I bring Samara back with me." Alannah saw Sins eyes, then she began to finally cry herself. This little girl had been strong for so long to be the tower of support for Samara and herself, now she couldn''t keep herself in check anymore seeing her papas white, and lifeless eyes. "Papa i''m also sorry for hiding my power, if I wasn''t so afraid. Things could be different, you wouldn''t have become a Shura, nor would you have lost your eyesight." Sin raised his finger to Alannahs mouth, kissing her on her forehead and wiping her tears away. "Nothing is your fault Alannah, it is your papas fault for being prideful and stubborn. I better go and try to appease Samara." Sin placed his hand on Alannahs shoulder, and with his Mystic Energy transferred Alannah to their home. Sin quickly stood up and flashed away like a sudden gust of wind. Within two flashes, Sin crossed 750 miles appearing in the back mountains where Samara first hatched from her egg. When Sin was 75 feet away, he saw Samara holding herself together in a tight nit little ball. Her tails wrapped around her forming a wall, she wrapped her arms around her knees up to her chest. Resting her head on her arms, Samaras tears were flowing like a raging tsunami. She had finally seen the papa she missed and loved so much, but there was so much anger, grief, and hate towards her papa that Samara didn''t know what to feel. Samara heard the crumpling of leaves underneath Sins combat boots, when she looked up and saw her papa was only 5 feet away in front of her, she became agitated. Her nine tails began whipping and lashing about in a frenzy. Samara yelled out everything she held in her heart. "Everything is your fault papa! I hate you, I miss mom, I missed you, I love you. You left us to fend for ourselves for two and a half years! Although we had so many loving people around us, they could NEVER replace my papa or mom! It''s all your fault, ALL YOUR FAULT!" Samaras figure began interchanging between her human form, and her beast form as she cried her little heart out. The huge disruption to her emotions, shocked her very core. Making her unable to control herself. Sin came forward and knelt down in front of Samara. This however, just worked to adding more oil to the already raging fire. Samaras tails began whipping Sin which emitted sharp "Cracks!" and various "Wuh-PSSSSH" like sounds Sin bared all of this pain, sadness, and hate of Samaras. Not once did Sin move, nor did he wince or make a sound. Sin reached his hand out to hug Samara into his embrace, this entailed to her biting through Sins formidable physique with her teeth. Sin used his remaining arm to bring Samara into her embrace. When Samara was hugged into Sins embrace, her fury erupted as she began pounding her fists on Sins chest. "THUD!" "I HATE YOU! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE US LIKE THAT!? WHY COULDN''T YOU PROTECT MOM!?" The sound of Samaras fists smashing her papas chest echoed out throughout the back mountain, all the birds flew off the trees in a hurry. All the other forest creatures began scurrying away, in fear of their guardians fury. After three full hours, Samara stopped herself from whipping, and pounding her papas chest. When she looked at Sins beet red chest, and all the deep gashes left on his body. Samara cried loudly, she exhaustively looked into Sins eyes. When Samara saw her papas dull eyes, she began frantically waving her hands right in front of his face. Samara eagerly watched hoping her papas eyes would follow her hands. But to her disappointment, Sins eyes remained still as if missing everything right in front of him. Samara began injecting all kinds of healing magic into Sins eyes. Try and try continuously as she did, nothing could bring back the luster and gleam her papas eyes once had. "Papa your eyesight is gone!?" Samara asked with deep guilt. Sin used his hand and began combing Samaras long silky hair. "It is not a big loss Samara. It was a small price to pay for my inadequacy." Samara rebutted back. "It is a big deal papa! You will never be able to see how I look again, you won''t be able to see me when I am all grown up! Alannah and I have have become taller, you won''t be able to see moms beauty anymore!"Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. Sin wiped the tears away from the edges of Samaras eyes. "Samara sweetheart don''t worry about papa. I don''t deserve it, nor do I deserve to be forgiven. Papa has been absent, and was unable to protect yours, and Alannahs happiness. No matter how I tried, I was too weak to protect anyone. I''m sorry for that Samara, your happiness was compromised because of papa." Samara felt the grief within Sins words, and his own powerlessness over the past events. Finally having been calmed down, Samaras eyes were starting to get heavy. The outburst of emotions exhausted her. Samara rested her head up against Sins chest, and began listening to her papas heart beat. With a voice full of pleading, Samara asked. "Papa are you going to be by my side when I wake up?" Sin held out his pinky finger in front of Samara and said. "Wrap your pinky finger around mine." Samara did as she was told, and wrapped her pinky finger around her papas. "This is my promise to you, papa will be by your side when you wake up." Samara smiled before she closed her eyes with a peaceful look on her face. "Please don''t leave ever again papa, I don''t want to feel lonely like that ever again!" Sin stood up and carried Samara in a princess hold up against his chest. Leaning his head down, Sin affectionately kissed Samaras forehead. Sin flashed as he appeared in his home, that had been left untouched for two and a half years. Sin looked around sentimentally, but flashed up to his room faster than lightning. Using his Mana, Sin folded the blanket down halfway his and Meralas bed. Gently placing the sleeping Samara onto the bed, Sin pulled the blanket up and covered Samaras with it. Bending down and giving Samara one more kiss on her forehead, Sin backed away and sat on the floor with his back against the wall. Alannah flashed into the room, seeing the peaceful look on Samaras sleeping face. Alannahs eyes became gentle and tender. Sitting down on the ground between her papas legs, Alannah reclined as she laid her head on Sins chest. "It would seem you managed to calm Samara down." Alannah used her Mana to scan Sins body and saw her papas beet red chest, and all the gashes on his body. Alannah couldn''t help but ask. "Why haven''t you let yourself recover?" Sin ruffled Alannahs hair. "It''s a reminder that I need to be a better papa to the both of you." Sin then asked. "Alannah be honest with papa, do you hate me for my absence and the pain I caused you?" Alannah was like a cat that just had its tail stepped on. She jumped up and pointed at Sin without controlling her voice. "Of course I don''t hate papa! Papa is the best in the world! You, yourself know you did what you thought was right to protect all of us. Look at me and Samara now! We are in one piece aren''t we? Sure some days are harder than others, but we knew you were alive, and that is all that mattered to us. Every day we could feel your cultivation getting stronger, and we felt your endless love for us despite the distance of various worlds! There is no way I can hate my papa!" "You push yourself too hard papa, you bear all the weight on your shoulders alone! If you would''ve let us help back then, I could have easily killed Solarus and everyone else present. You did things the way you thought were right for yourself, but what about us? How did that affect us for the last two and a half years!?" Sin weakly voice out. "I''m sorry Alannah, you two little princesses mean everything to me. I''m sorry you two had to suffer because of your papas selfishness. I''m sorry I couldn''t protect your mother, or big sister Jasmine." Alannah pouted angrily, she raised her hand and slapped Sin across the face. "PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER PAPA! Stop mourning the past, what''s happened is already done and over with. What matters now is that you learn from your mistakes. And that you NEVER do anything so selfish like that ever again!" After Alannah had her loud outburst, Samara began getting restless in her sleep. She began tossing and turning, her peaceful look was replaced with a sour and sad look. "Papa don''t leave me again." Samara called out in her sleep. Alannah quickly got onto Sins bed, Alannah cuddled Samara as she began combing her sisters hair. Within minutes, Samara had returned to her peaceful state. Sin encompassed his daughters with Mana. Seeing all this happen with his Mana, Sin felt completely heart broken and a complete failure. But both Alannah and Samara were without a doubt right. Sin still needed to improve himself as a man, a husband, as the Wolf King. But the most important of all, as a father. Sin only calculated his own consequences, but not how they would have effects on those around him. This was something prevalent even on Earth, and something he himself struggled with. All the exhaustion suppressed by Sin overflowed. With heavy eyes, Sin fell asleep. Soon five hours passed by, when Sin awoke from his much deserved rest, Sin looked down. Unknown to him, or any pings from his Mana making him aware. Alannah and Samara had both cuddled up into their papas chest. Sin with his hands, began combing both of his daughters hair. Shortly after both of them woke up. "How did my girls sleep? Are the both of you hungry?" Sin asked lovingly. Before the girls could answer, their stomachs rumbled loudly answering for them. Alannah and Samara both blushed slightly embarrassed. Sin stood up carefully, with both daughters in his arms. Sin made his way downstairs into the kitchen. Seeing how everything remained the exact same as he left home. Sin couldn''t help but remember all of his laughter, and love he felt for and from Merala. [Two and a half years ago, this was my sanctuary. Now it feels foreign.] Sin thought to himself. Hearing his daughters massive order for supper, Sin quickly got into chef mode and began cooking like a madman. After a hour had passed, Sin had their dining room full to the brim with tables of food. Before they had dinner together as a family, Sin decided to initiate a tradition from Earth. With both daughters sitting side by side himself, Sin held their hands as he told them to close their eyes. Starting it off, Sin said aloud. "I give my most sincere thanks to the higher beings out there. Thank you for giving me a second lease on life, and thank you for allowing me to come back to my precious daughters. I know as a man, father, husband, and as Wolf King. I have many areas to further improve on, especially myself. Thank you again for a second shot at life, you don''t truly realize how precious something is until it falls out of your hands." Alannah and Samara were all smiles, their pent up grief for their papa was beginning to wash away. Since they were already told in advance what this tradition is. Samara was second to go. "Thank you to the higher beings for my loving papa, mom and my sisters. Many good people have become family to me, although mom isn''t here with us. I know what mom and papa sacrificed wasn''t easy, and I am sorry to let myself harbor hate for my papa and mom." Sin unconsciously squeezed Samaras and Alannahs hands tighter. These little girls, were one of the main driving forces for his recovery and self improvement. Lastly it was Alannahs turn. "Thank you to the higher beings for my loving papa, mom and sisters. Papa, mom, Samara, and uncle Midnight love me unconditionally. Even knowing my hidden gifts, they never once mistreated me or singled me out. I was afraid coming into my family when I was given life. But everyone loved me so much, and proved it doesn''t matter how you become family. Love and bonds are the most important of all. Thank you for my family." Sin, Alannah, and Samara shared a minute of silence. Feeling their shared love and bloodline, it was a blessing that not everyone gets the chance to have. No longer would Sin take these peaceful moments for granted. "Dig in my daughters, papa has cooked a huge feast tonight!" Alannah and Samara dove into their food, as if like two miniature black holes in their stomachs. The whole tables of food that could feed a family of 35, was devoured within a half hour. Sin was lugging the dishes back to the kitchen, just as he was about to start washing them. Alannah and Samara formed a organized and neat relay chain. Alannah passed the plates to Sin, Sin would wash them, then he would pass them to Samara for drying and putting away. Just like that, ten minutes passed and the dishes were done. Alannah and Samars were holding hands together, they used their cutest puppy eyes and said together. "Papa we want to play video games!" Sin smiled. "You have 1 hour, then it''s bath and bed time." Both girls called out happily in delight. "Papa is the best!" They quickly ran off into the living room and started the Playstation 4. Just as Sin was going to head upstairs, he heard knocking on the door. Walking towards and opening the door, Zenith was standing there with a plate of desserts. "Hey Midnight, my wife baked some desserts and we have some left over. We thought Alannah and Samara would like them." Sins eyes literally shot out of their sockets before he exclaimed. "Mother fucker, when did your single skinny ass get a wife!?" Zenith was stunned, then it clicked in all of a sudden. "You mother fucker Si-" Before Zenith could finish, Sin pulled him inside before the disturbance caught too much attention. When inside, Zenith raged. "You mother fucking traitor, how long have you been back for!? And when were you gonna visit your brother you asshole!" Zenith exclaimed loudly with a wide smile on his face. Both Sin and Zenith bear hugged each other, the brothership they built was impressive. Sin took Zenith out to the back porch, with a bottle of Drambuie and Grand Mariner Triple Orange, Sin and Zenith had many drinks together and caught up. After Samaras and Alannahs one hour gametime was up, Samara suddenly spoke up. "Alannah it''s been one hour, its bath time with papa now!" Alannah stealthily sneaked to the back door, hearing Zenith and Sin catching up with each other. Alannah smiled mischievously before returning to Samara. "Don''t worry about it. Papa and uncle Zenith are catching up with each other. They won''t notice the passing time." Samara smiled full of cheer. "Hell yeah more game time!" Alannah rushed forward with a finger on Samaras lips and said. "Shhhhh, we can''t alert them!" After another hour passed, and the stars and moon were long hanging up in the sky. It finally dawned on Sin. "Shit! I got so caught up catching up with you brother, Its way past Alannahs and Samaras gametime!" Zenith smiled seeing the Sin he remembered hadn''t changed a single bit. Zenith stood up and nearly fell off the back deck. "I best be going home before my wife comes knocking in a tantrum." Sin laughed watching how drunk Zenith was. "Try not to stumble on your way home brother." Sin and Zenith clasped each others wrists before Zenith jumped the fence, and fell face first. "Try not to eat shit looking cool next time you drunk fuck!" Sin hollered out in mighty laughter. After walking back inside, Sin called out. "Samara, Alannah its bath time!" Samara and Alannah saved their game, then ran up the stairs in excitement. It was the first time in two and a half years their papa would bathe them. After spending 30 minutes, Sin dried them and had the girls put on a fresh pair of pajamas. After carrying both girls into their room, Alannah and Samara asked. "Papa can we sleep with you tonight? Please just for tonight!" Knowing their papa was a sucker for puppy eyes, it worked with flying colours. "Alright, I know the both of you are using your puppy eyes again. Yes you can sleep with me tonight." Sin said. Bringing the girls back to his and Meralas room, Sin made his bed with a fresh pair of bed sheets. After that was done, Sin turned his radio on and played Digital Daggers on low volume. After getting into bed with the pillows over top his right arm, Alannah and Samara cuddled into each other, up against Sins chest. Sin gave each of his girls a kiss goodnight, and began reciting various bedtime stories. After a period of time passed by, and hearing their calm breathing. Sin whispered quietly. "Goodnight my precious daughters, I love you." Shortly after Sin followed his daughters into the dream land. Volume 3 Chapter 9: Warning Issued By The Dungeon Throughout the night, both Alannah and Samara had awoken many times. To these two little girls, they dreamed of their papa coming back home to them every day. Even though they knew they were in their papas loving embrace. They were also scared of it being a bad nightmare, that they haven''t awoken from. After sleeping past his internal alarm clock. Sin lazily woke up, sensing his daughters were still in a deep sleep. Sin didn''t move a single inch. There was no way he was waking his girls from their peaceful sleep. Two hours passed by, and it was 8 am now. Both girls began stretching out as they woke up. "Good morning my little princesses." Hearing their papas loving words, both smiled brightly before replying back in unison. "Good morning papa!" Sin got out of bed and jumped into the shower quickly. While showering, Sin couldn''t help but remember all the times he and Merala shared this very shower together. They were times of bliss, although temporarily gone, they would surely be back soon. After coming out, he heard Alannah and Samara giggling like two crack heads who found a 100$ bill. Using his Mana, Sin saw both of them were smashing each other in the face with pillows. "Who''s hungry?" Sin called out. "We are!" Both girls chimed in unison. Soon they got themselves dressed. Just like two bats out of hell, Alannah and Samara ran out of the room jumping on the railing, and rode with style down onto the main floor. "Be careful pulling stunts like that girls!" Sin called out as he was making his way downstairs. Soon he heard the beep of the PlayStation 4 turning on, that was his cue to start cooking breakfast before his girls became ravenous monsters. Alannah and Samara were so engrossed in their game. It wasn''t until Sin tickled the hell out of them, that they realized breakfast was ready. After eating, both girls yelled as they ran out of the house. "We are going to train in the dungeon papa!" Elder Rein who was nearby, with his wife and son overheard the girls exclamation. A fire burned in Reins eyes as he hammered on the door with unconcealed excitement. Sin came to the door, and when Rein saw the real Wolf King he shouted aloud. "By the ancestors, Wolf King Sin you''re truly back!" Sin smiled hearing this voice. "Good day Elder Rein, I am happy to hear your joy seeing me in person again. But can you be a little more quiet? I don''t want to break the common belief, without truly being able to remain here." Rein bowed respectfully and said. "My apologies Wolf King, I was so caught up in knowing my liege was still alive and in good shape." Then Rein took a closer look at Sins face and noticed his eyes. "Wolf King, your eyes?" Rein asked questioningly. "The price for my inadequacy." Sin replied. How is your wife and child doing Rein? Sin asked. Rein brought his wife and son over. "Honey, Tanner this is Wolf King Sin. Wolf King wanted to come and congratulate us, but with his severe injuries he wasn''t able to make it." Rein''s wife smiled. "Thank you for your sincerity Wolf King. It brings great honour knowing you wanted to celebrate the miracle of life with us." Sin smiled back. "It is my honour to share the good and bad with my family here. I regret not having that chance. But as I once said to Rein, I would prepare gifts. I apologize for the late gifts." Sin took out various bags from his inventory. "Hopefully I have not made any offence." After taking the gifts, Rein, his wife and son thanked Sin. "Thank you Wolf King, this is truly a very kin-" Sin raised his hand stopping them. "I understand, but like I said I will share the good and bad with my family. Please don''t feel the need to be so reserved in private. Treat me as you would any one of your good friends." Rein, his wife and child happily left shortly after. After they had left, Sin sighed to himself. "It has now been two and a half years, I really hope Kirala doesn''t straight out cap my ass." After preparing himself for god knows what, Sin encompassed the Wolf God Clan with his Mana. After sensing where Kirala was, Sin flashed out of his house and quickly appeared in front of Kiralas lounging. After standing there like an idiot for twenty minutes, Sin grew a pair and knocked on Kiralas door. The moment he heard the footsteps coming closer, Sin swore he could feel his balls fly up to the back of his throat. When he heard the door open, and felt Kiralas heavy emotional state. Sin dropped his head unable to ''look'' at Kirala even without his eyesight. Sin kowtowed and began banging his head. "I''m sorry I couldn''t protect Merala. If you so wish to make my head roll to appease yourself, I will pay that price." Kirala picked Sin up off the ground, then her fist flew out and smashed into Sins chest with a raging fury. Pulling Sin inside, Kirala began beating the bloody hell out of Sin in private. "MOTHER FUCKER! How long were you planning to take before you showed up huh!? Myself and Sirius left our daughter in your ''capable'' hands, and you couldn''t even protect her! Do you know how much those girls of yours cried in my arms? Do you know how hard it was to explain to them, their mom was dead, but she would be coming back to life in a couple of years!?" Sin took each fist of Kiralas, despite hearing his own bones crunch and break from the weight of Kiralas fists. Not once did Sin allow himself to back away, this was his way of atoning. While it would never truly wash away, Sin could at least let others appease their own hate in this way. After Kirala had her share of beating Sin black and blue. Kirala pulled out a gatorade bottle, Sin began heavily sweating more than he was during his beating. Sin assumed she was now rejuvenating herself for round two of his ass whopping. "Why are you looking like i''m about to give you a second round of ass whooping? I''ve vented now, let us catch up over the events that transpired. While I was, and still am pissed off. I just like anyone else, saw the events that transpired. When I arrived to protect Merala, your girls and the Vermilion Bird Clan. I was stopped by my own past enemies, I was heavily injured and powerlessly watched from a distance as my own daughter was killed. I felt helpless, aggrieved and worthless. I couldn''t protect Sirius'' little angel who he loved so much. Then I saw you become a Shura, and how you wiped out 30 Gods, and then fought so bravely against the Demon Lord. I wished to be there massacring as crazed as you were. But I was far too weak, and still am. It''s such a harsh feeling to bear." "I know what has happened cannot be reversed. Luckily through many boons and interventions, I was able to prepare for every worst case scenario I could think of at that time. I wished to protect everyone''s life in my own way, in the long run it nearly caused total annihilation for our clans, and the capital cities lifeline. Even worse than that, all life in Desolate Kingdom truly could''ve been wiped clean by Solarus and his forces." Sin said. Sin took out a bottle of Hine Rare VSOP from his inventory and some glasses. "Care to share a couple of drinks with me?" "Sure, I could use a drink. It has been sometime since my last with Sirius." Kirala said. After Sin had filled Kiralas glass to the top, Kirala bottomed it without reservation. "Damn that''s some good stuff!" Kirala exclaimed licking her lips as she savored the flavour. After downing the bottle to herself, Kirala had begun getting tipsy.If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. "You know Sin, you people from Earth are really something. Although we''re from different worlds, galaxies even. Both you and Sirius are both excellent men, I know that a lot weighs heavily in your heart. But just like Sirius once was, you''re starting to show signs of discarding your selfish nature. Us locals aren''t innocent in this world by any means, but the amount of progress you have made is astonishing. Not many people have a compassionate heart like you do for loved ones and friends." Sin smiled self-deprecatingly. "I am nothing special Kirala, there are plenty of people from Earth who play the hand of God. Enough of that for now though, what would you like to know about Earth? Maybe I can feel in the gaps since Sirius'' times?" Kirala had a long and thoughtful look on her face. After a minute passed, Kirala suddenly asked. "What is the environment like on Earth? In Desolate Kingdom, we do not have a moon, nor does it rain. Our environment is rich of natural energy, and has 1.5% of contaminating natural pollutants. What does the real moon look like? Sirius use to say all the time how insignificant he felt below it." Sin answered right away without needing any time to think. "Well on Earth, there are many big companies and industries. These industries do illegal dumpings into the ocean, and the very earth itself we walk on. This causes our environment to be plagued with pollution, and makes my home lack many natural habitats, and ecosystems like here in Desolate Kingdom." "As for the moon, well that I do not know how to explain it a whole lot myself. I never had an interest in studying it, but to make it simple. After the sun goes down, the moon comes out at night. Essentially it is just one big round ball, and radiates moonlight allowing us to have some vision at night. The moon itself is a celestial body like the sun, it is very easy to feel your existence is worthless underneath it." While enjoying his conversation with Kirala, Sin suddenly felt a deep palpitation of danger within his heart. Before he could react to it, a loud beast roar was heard within the the Wolf God Clans territory. "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!!!!!!" The roar shocked everyone within the Clan, ever since the emergence of this dungeon two and a half years ago. It has brought boundless wealth and prosperity, but it also brought its own dangers and risks with it. All of the dungeon diving teams were forcefully booted out of the dungeon. A vast purple portal appeared in the sky above the Wolf God Clan. A figure appeared, after revealing itself it was a low rank Dungeon Guardian, three long horns sprouted from its head. The aura it emitted made everyone want to prostrate and revere him. The figure was dripping in blood, chunks of flesh, guts, and organs. The Dungeon Guardians voice reverberated throughout the land, stretching out as far as to the capital city. "So this is the land of these pesky ants who''ve been killing my monsters inside the dungeon. Bring out your leader right now! If not I will kill these three brats before all of you!" The three figures that were revealed were Alannah, Samara and Lan. They were trapped inside of a locking formation, but their voice could still be heard. "Listen here you limp dick asshole! It''s not our fault you invaded our dungeon, and it''s also not our fault you have whiskey dick and couldn''t please your wife!" Alannah yelled out making all of those who heard it laugh. This was something Sin had once taught her, if you can disrupt your opponents mental state, you have already secured victory. However, this was a different scenario altogether. This Dungeon Guardian had a clear mind, Alannahs words had just fueled the guardians anger, giving her the opposite of what she wanted to achieve by berating it. The Dungeon Guardian snapped its fingers, hundreds of thousands of beast roars were heard quickly approaching. Afterwards the Dungeon Guardian took out a thin blade, it was both flexible and sharp. When the speed was able to reach its maximum, the sword itself would slither like a snake. Making it a very delicate, but also frightening display of a sword dancing. Just as it had reached top speed and was about to slash through killing Alannah, Samara and Lan. Sin appeared in front of the blade, without so much as releasing any life or power from his body. Sin reached out and caught the tip of the blade between his fingers. The Dungeon Guardian was nearly given a heart attack, despite his overwhelming strength and refined senses. Sin had snuck past every single barrier of his, he would truly be a dead man if Sin hadn''t saved his daughters and disciple. Applying pressure on the tip of the blade, Sin ground it into powder between his hands. Sins analyze began doing its job. Name: Lower Dungeon Guardian Sleipnir [Infant] Level: 25 Health: 5,525,000 Mana: 2,950,000 Strength: 745 Intelligence: 450 Agility: 835 Dexterity: 835 Physique: 415 Comprehension: 355 "You had best get the fuck out of my clan if you want to live!" Sin bellowed loudly, that alone was able to make the ground rumble, leaving cracks embedded in its surface. "Everybody has their demons, and to bring out that scary being from inside me, by daring to take my daughters and disciples life. You''re playing with a raging fire that''s going to burn yourself!" Sins body ignited like an infernal hell when his eyes opened, the sclera was pitch black while his eyes were a deep crimson red. Black, gold, and white-blue flame tattoos covered his body from head to toe. Pulling Kaiser out of his sheath a tremendous change occurred. Kaisers colour changed to a metallic purple, and began radiating a crimson-black flame around itself. Multi coloured flaming wings spread from Sins back. "You have got a lot of nerve waltzing in and disturbing the peace of my family!" Sin then punched the locking formation shattering it, enveloping his daughters and disciple within his Mana, Sin transferred them to the ground and healed all their injuries. "Listen up everyone! Go crazy and kill all dungeon beasts that dare to walk out of the portal. This fucker here is my prey!" Sin toggled on both passive functions of his Emperors aura, buffing ally stats, Sword, and Sword Heart techniques by 25% then debuffing the assailants with -25% stats, sword and Sword Heart techniques. Everyone within the Wolf God Clans boundaries were surrounded by golden rings, where as Sleipnir and the dungeon beasts were surrounded by black rings. Sin launched himself forward, leaving a blazing arc of crimson-black flame as he clashed with Sleipnirs weapon. Taking out the last spare weapon from his inventory, Sin fueled all of his Sacred Flames into it. The surging flames extended like a cover over the blade melting the steel of the weapon. Slashing down with his left hand, the blazing inferno cut into Sleipnir, burning the organs and blood inside. Sleipnirs bestial nature activated, and the guardians body began expanding becoming seven metres tall. Punching out its fist, Sin purposely took the full brunt of the attack with his fleshly body. "THUMP!" Sin remained hovering in the exact same position. Throwing away the remnant of his spare weapon, Sin flashed out of his position, reappearing in the middle of Sleipnirs breast. Sin punched out with his now freed up left hand, a loud and sharp "KRUCK" was heard as the bones in Sleipnirs chest broke under the force of Sins punch. Sleipnir was blasted backwards, and crashed into the mountain face hundreds of kilometres away from the Wolf God Clan. Sin lackadaisically flew forward in chase, after arriving and seeing the forever reaching deep hole. Sin called out in provocation. "Yoo hoo, mister Guardian are you still alive in there?" After a couple of seconds passed, Sin skidded left and right avoiding two blade beams aimed to sever his arms. "I take that as a yes, good talk!" Sin called out in reply to the attacks he just dodged. "Shut up, you stupid human! Your presumptuous if you think you can get away with mocking my holy bloodline!" Sleipnir came flying out of the pit in a self consumed rage. Sin was currently digging out the wax of his left ear with his pinky. Looking at it and scrunching his face in disgust, Sin flicked it off his finger. "RRRRARGH!" Sleipnir bellowed losing the last grips of his own sanity. Sin smiled seeing this reaction, putting Kaiser back into its sheath. Sin spoke with power. "You have already lost!" Flower petals rushed out of Sins clothes, soon the surrounding became pitch black. Three long never ending rows of swords emerged from the ground within the Sword Realm that Sin had created. Slapping both of his opened palms together, both rows of Swords began dissolving turning into a flurry of flower petals and sword lights. [Ballad Of The Mystic Blade Empress!] The flower petals cut through Sleipnirs physique like a hot knife through butter. Soon the Sword Realm had been washed with blood. Sleipnir roared helplessly and in rage, he was a mighty Dungeon Guardian! The dungeon had chosen him as the harbinger to conquer other dungeons, and integrate becoming a part of the Arcane Rift, the originator of all dungeons. "I will not die here! I have a glorious destiny awaiting me!" Sleipnir bellowed as he rushed towards Sin dual wielding a clone of his weapon. Sins Withering Sword Dance erupted, forming a protective barrier around his body. "You would have been a worthy opponent when I was crippled, but now your caliber is no longer in the same bracket as I!" Snapping the fingers in both hands, the flower petals and sword lights dropped to the ground lifelessly. Just as Sleipnir was about to dice Sin into various pieces. Sins right hand glowed a faint pink colour. Twisting his body in various angles dodging the flurry of attacks. Sins hand palmed out into Sleipnirs chest, the pink light intensified before it materialized into a condensed beam of flower petals. [Withering Blade Cannon!] Sleipnirs body exploded, chunks of flesh and body pieces fell to the ground. Sleipnirs blood, and remaining organs inside his body evaporated from the pressure. Wiping off the blood from his face, and purifying the awakening third personality in himself. Sin cancelled his Sword Realm, taking the nuclei out of the pool of blood. Sin left with a beaming smile on his face. After all, nothing beats the sensation of looting your enemies after killing them. Rushing back to the Wolf God Clan, Sin could hear the battle cries and the roars of dungeon beasts. Wrapping the surroundings with his Mana, Sin counted there to be more than 4,000,000 dungeon beasts and counting were still exiting the portal. Opposite to Sins train of thought, unlike in past MMORPGS he played. Killing the Dungeon Guardian didn''t end the raid, it instead frenzied all of the dungeon beasts increasing their speed and strengthening them as they tunneled out. Sin shouted a warning for all within Wolf God Clan to hear. "Enshroud yourselves with your Mana quick! If you have trained in arrays, please shield your fellow friends and family!" After Sins shout was spread throughout the Wolf God Clan. Sin began storing all of his Sword Qi in his Withering Sword Dance. Soon the flower petals and sword lights became berserk. All the flower petals and sword light combined, turning into three pink dragons. [Withering Dragons Calamity!] The three dragons exhaled a breath of condensed Sword Qi. Flower petals fell from the sky, every dungeon beast they landed on, or simply got blown past by the wind were instantly cut in half. The flower petals hungrily engulfed the corpses of the dungeon beasts leaving nothing behind. Everyone in the Wolf God Clans territory let out a mighty battle cry. With the display of their Wolf Kings might, how could they remain struggling to survive the raid? The warriors of the Phoenix Heart, Vermilion Bird, and Wolf God Clans formed various combat formations and links. Within one hour, the 4,000,000 dungeon beasts were cut down to 1,000,000 remaining. The entire time, Sin hovered in the sky acting as a guardian. Instead of forcefully wiping out the dungeon beasts from the beginning, Sin took this time to watch and evaluate the growth of the three clans. Sin was not disappointed one bit, Sin memorized the looks of 325,000 youths with vast untapped potential. This wasn''t counting the ones who were actively rushing into the portal, trimming the numbers from inside. After 15 minutes passed, the beast raid had been quelled without any further hiccups. A loud notification rang in the ears of all present, and logs appeared in front of their eyes. [Congratulations Wolf God Clan! You have successfully cleared the 20th Dungeon Beast Raid. The E Rank is now deemed insufficient enough of a trial. The future Dungeon Beast Raids have been increased to the D Rank. The next Dungeon Beast Raid is in 45 days.] This next log was filled with scarlet context. [!!!!! This Dungeon Beast Raid was unexpected due to return of the originator who planted the Dungeon Seed. The Dungeon has deemed the owner to be alive. The temporary ownership has been transferred from Midnight Reaper, back to the Wolf King! Please do not allow this mistake to happen again Wolf King, a calamity may befall in your continuous prolonged absence.] After the notifications, and logs disappeared. A great disturbance was beginning to brew within the minds and hearts of the members. Some of the more keen to detail types quickly caught hold of the meaning. On many occasions they heard others call their Wolf King by title, and the elders in the know called him Midnight Reaper in public a couple times by mistake. Sin heard all of the commotion going on below, knowing that his dungeon had basically slapped him in the balls. Sin sighed before he voiced out aloud. "Many of you may be catching some keen details from the notification and logs that just passed. After cleaning up whatever damage was done, taking logistics and caring for the families of those that have died. The day after tomorrow will be another festival night, similar to two and a half years ago, instead this time will include ALL of our family and friends. But for now, please remain calm and let''s work together to clean things up!" After cleaning up the blood stains, corpses and repairing the broken buildings. Night time had fallen, Sin was at home cooking supper for his daughters. Then out of the blue, he got a message from Midnight Reaper. "Brother, I can only stall for six more days worth of time. The King Of Mercenary tournament is going to be in full swing by then." "And also before I forget, do not forget that I am a being created from your despair and hidden demons. Today I felt a resurgence of the ''old'' you awaken slightly. Please for the love of your daughters, wife, disciple, and Wolf God Clan. DO NOT become that monster, we paid a heavy enough price to revert you back to normal on Earth. A second time if that event were to repeat itself, I don''t know if WE can survive it." After they ate supper together, Alannah and Samara asked Sin one by one with excitement. "Papa can you teach us the art of assassination?" Sin was left shocked standing in place. Hurriedly trying to save themselves, the girls continued explaining. "In the dungeon, there are many assassin type enemies as the Dungeon Seed had copied your strengths and weaknesses. There have been many times we nearly lost our life. And there have been many occasions where it would benefit us." Sin wasn''t one to say no right away. "The both of you must realize, there are many assassin experts in our clans. And uncle Midnight has much to teach you both in that aspect." Sin replied. The girls nodded their heads but still remained firm. "We want to be taught by papa. We have become strong in the last two and a half years. We want to learn something that will always remind us of you. And so we can protect this growing family, and the friends we have made." Sin had a thoughtful look on his face, after giving it some time Sin gave in to his girls. "I will begin teaching the both of you after the planned festival. For now continue your regular training. But I truly am here on borrowed time, I will teach the both of you the basics, uncle Midnight will have to take over from there though." Alannah and Samara were all smiles as they excitedly called out. "Thank you papa, you''re the best!" After Sin finished washing the dishes, Sin took Alannah and Samara upstairs to bathe them. After tucking them into bed, and reciting bedtime stories. Sin left their room returning to his. Sitting down cross legged, Sin began cultivating with a clear and peaceful mind. Volume 3 Chapter 10: Another Festive Night The next morning, Sin got out of cultivation at his normal time. Before getting the day started, Sin began working through the logs he had been putting off until now. [Congratulations! You have successfully overcome the Ancient Manual Of Rebirths trials. You have shown great bravery, and an undying spirit like the solitary flame of a candle during a storm. Passing through the trials and diving into the true meaning of rebirth. You have succeeded in reaching the 4th tier of Rebirth.] [Your Advanced Sword Mastery Level 1 has upgraded through levels 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] [Congratulations! Your Advanced Sword Mastery has upgraded to Master Sword Mastery.] [Master Sword Mastery has upgraded through levels 1,2,3.] [You have successfully returned to your peak condition before taking the Rebirth trials. Through your hardship the insane like training and self torture, you have been awarded additive status points.] [Health has increased by 27,500 points. Mana has increased by 20,000 points. Strength has increased by 135 points, Intelligence has increased by 114 points, Agility has increased by 140 points, Dexterity has increased by 140 points, Physique has increased by 75 points.] Sin then decided it was time to look at his status page after going through his logs. Level: 13 Name: Sin Age: 25 Gender: Male Race: Human (?) Race Rating:100 (?) Health: 41,850 Mana: 37,050 Strength: 350 Intelligence: 310 Agility: 385 Dexterity: 367 Physique: 200 Comprehension: 100 After going through his logs and status page, Sin began cooking breakfast ahead of time for Alannah and Samara. After their breakfast was set on plates. Sin then used a minor formation to trap the heat within, keeping the food both warm and still fresh. Sin wrote a note and left it in the middle of the various plates. ''Good morning my beautiful girls, I''m sorry not to be here when you wake up. Breakfast has been made, all you have to do is enjoy it. There is a lot I need to do during the day, I will also be working with all the chefs of our family to prepare for tomorrow''s festival. Drop by the main kitchen hall for lunch and supper. Be safe and have a good day. -Papa'' Sin left his house and made his way down to the logistics department. Elder Maya was there with her wife overlooking the reports. Seeing as they were both head deep in reports, Sin knocked on the wall alerting them of his presence. Maya and her wife quickly stood up and bowed to Sin. "Good morning Wolf King, sorry we have been going through the various reports and didn''t notice you." Sin waved his hand before speaking. "No need for the formalities when in private, thank you both for your work. When the both of you finish up, I want both of you to go back home relax and unwind. You have done enough work throughout the night, others will be here shortly to take over." Elder Maya and her wife thanked Sin. "Thank you, we will finish the list of the reported dead, and their families and where they live." "No rush, take your time. Thank you for your work overnight." Sin said as he sat down at a nearby table and began reading through other reports, problems, and concerns with his Mana. After an hour had passed, Adonis, Elder Rein and various others began pouring into the logistics department. As they were all enjoying their morning coffee, they had yet to take notice of Sins presence in the room. Elder Maya dropped off the list of dead to Sin. "Here you are Sin, me and my wife will be taking our leave now." Sin had been woken up from reading through various papers, taking the report Sin stood up from the table. "Thank you Maya, you and your wife go and get some much deserved time to relax." Sin left the logistics department quietly so as not to cause a scene. Sin began making his rounds to the families of the deceased, and gave them compensation for their loved ones death. Midnight Reaper had followed the example Sin had set, this had created a much bigger united body within the clan. The families were saddened by their loss, and the compensation given was enough to let them live well. While this couldn''t bring back the dead, it at least allowed Sin to take care of the families. Sin began making his way to the main kitchen hall of the Wolf God Clan. When he entered there were 10,000 chefs running about preparing for tomorrow''s festival. Sin gathered all the chefs present, asking their opinions on various dishes and their thoughts. Seeing as all of them were confident, Sin quickly went to the other kitchen halls to coordinate. Sin returned to the main kitchen hall and began helping with the cooking, soon the morning passed over. Sin had been prepping for making lasagna, meatloaf, meat pie, and various other hearty dishes. During this time, Sin had made plates for both Alannah and Samara full to the brim with food. Around 2 in the afternoon, Sin heard happiness and teasing in the kitchen staff''s voice. This had signaled the arrival of Samara and Alannah. The girls brought a wave of joy and cheer wherever they went, they quickly ran over to Sin after seeing him hard at work. "Papa we came for lunch!" they announced their arrival. Sin smiled and passed over the premade plates of food. "Enjoy my girls, papa will be back later tonight." Alannah and Samara cheered seeing the plates. Walking away, they stopped in mid stride and called out. "Papa don''t forget your promise to teach us the art of assassination!" Sin replied back. "I won''t forget, you two better be prepared for it. I won''t hold back when teaching the both of you." With their papas confirmation, the girls left and enjoyed their lunch. Soon the sun had fallen, after making his rounds to the other kitchen halls. Sin returned back home in hand with his girls. Samara and Alannah found a way to share their papas back together. Sin carried both of his girls back home, after bathing them and putting them to bed for the night. Sin returned to his room and began cultivating. The night passed peacefully, Sin repeated the same as he did the day prior. Except this time he went straight to the kitchen hall, along his way he found a vast plot of land had been turned into a carnival. There were various snack booths, rides, mini games, stages built up. Sin could feel the excitement and cheer in the clan''s atmosphere. The children in the clan woke early, they were out running about and playing with each other. After making his way back into the kitchen hall, Sin was interrupted by the various other personnel inside. "Wolf King thank you for your help yesterday, thanks to you we are way ahead of schedule. Without any disrespect, we ask that you leave the rest up to us. Enjoy the time with your daughters, go on some rides, and enjoy the day. I''m sure the clans people would love to see their Wolf King out and about, feasting and enjoying the activities with them as well." Feeling the determination all the chefs had to ''kick'' him out. Sin didn''t make any fuss or muss about it. In fact, he actually felt relieved about being booted out. This would further give him time to spend with his girls, but considering it was still early in the morning. Sin began walking around the carnival area, looking to see if there was anywhere he could help with. But just as how it was back in the kitchen hall, Sin had been shooed away and promised many times that things were under control. With nothing left to do, Sin returned back home until his girls woke up. Sitting cross legged in the living room, flower petals rushed out of Sins clothes. With no enemies or goal to kill, they just flitted about the room. The Withering Sword Dance is an ability that attacks anything that moves within its area of effect. Sin was currently further practicing with it, using flower petals to move about within its area. After being able to reach a state of unity, it was quickly broken as the petals began raging against each other.This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. Sin calmed the flower petals, after a minute passed and they were on the floor. Sin flicked another petal out of his fingers into the air. Sin used the Sky essence, creating a small draft of wind that blew the petal about. The varied movement affected the other petals on the ground, but under Sins control they remained as they were. After the falling petal was just above the epicenter of the Withering Sword Dances area of effect. The sleeping petals could no longer be restrained. Sin rinsed and repeated this process numerous times, the goal was simple. Teaching the Withering Sword Dance the difference between hostility, and no hostility. However, that would prove to be a much bigger project. Two hours passed and Alannah and Samara woke up. They groggily came down the stairs, Alannah who was innately a mischievous child to begin with, immediately woke up after thinking about startling their papa. Alannah leaned over and whispered in Samara''s ears. "Shhhhh let''s startle papa, he hasn''t detected us yet." Alannah and Samara quietly tip toed over to Sin. After they stood behind their papa for two minutes, confirming he was engrossed in his practice. They made their move. Both Alannah and Samaras hands rushed out and patted their papas back. "BOO!!!" Both girls yelled loudly before they began laughing with each other. The resting flower petals shot off the ground, floating and swaying in the air with murderous intent. Just as the flower petals had formed around Alannah and Samara. Sin snapped out of his zone, acting with lightning speed appearing in front of Alannah and Samara. Bear hugging both his girls into his embrace, with his back facing the flower petals. The petals pierced through Sins back, and left various deep gashes on his fleshly body. Alannah and Samara reacted in fright. "Papa we didn''t mean to do anything bad. We were just having a little fun and playing a game." Sin patted both his girl''s hair. "Shhhh it is okay, not in one way did you two do anything wrong. And I should also know myself better, then to let myself get consumed into cultivation." Sin stood up and walked away a couple feet, then turned his back to Alannah and Samara. Activating the Rebirth essence, all the wounds on his body began healing and sealing themselves up. After turning around Sin said again. "See? Not a problem at all, now what do you say we have some breakfast together. Then we can go out, play a bunch of games, and go on many rides." Alannah and Samara were reinvigorated, seeing their papa is okay, and hearing the two key words. The two girls ran to the kitchen, and brought their breakfast plate to the dining room table. Quickly devouring all the food in less than seven minutes. Both girls ran upstairs to get dressed and brush their teeth. "Papa you get ready too! We will only be a couple of minutes." Alannah and Samara called from upstairs. Hearing the bosses commands, Sin went upstairs, changed into a clean pair of clothes and freshened up. Alannah and Samara came bursting out of their room. Running down the stairs yelling out. "Papa we''re ready to go and play!" Making his way downstairs, Sin held his girls hands as they pulled him out the door. After walking for thirty minutes, they heard the booming of loud music. Screams of thrill, and hearty laughter. Sin took this time to explain to his daughters. "Alannah, Samara you must remember to line up for the rides, and the games you want to play and go on. No line cutting is allowed, even if the people there offer and allow you to do so." Hearing their papas words, it went in one ear and out the other. "Yes papa we know. No line cutting, no favoritism." Hearing their half hearted answer with annoyance. Sin smiled and said. "It''s good that you know, now let the day of fun begin!" While walking through carnival, Sin saw various rides with different names, but had the same concept to the ones he remembered. There was the Gravitron 3000, The Polar Express, Drop Zone, Alice In Wonderland Tea Cups, Tilt-A-Whirl, The Ring Of Fire, Pirate Ship, 1001 Nights, Roller Coasters, The Haunted House, various other rides and attractions. Feeling Alannahs and Samaras rising excitement, Sin couldn''t help but also feel like a kid inside. A lot of things such as fairs, carnivals and concerts, Sin didn''t get the chance to experience in his life on Earth. Soon Sin had been dragged onto many rides, his girls were fearless. After going on various rides like the Gravitron, Polar Express, Teacups they were still roaring to go. "Papa more rides! More spins, more twirls!" The girls called out in excitement while pulling Sin along with them. "Careful girls, you may want to take a break from the heavy motion rides. Your stomachs will start feeling unwell!" "Stop making excuses because you can''t keep up with us old man!" Samara shouted while turning back around and sticking her tongue out at Sin. Sin became shocked after hearing what Samara had to say. He repeated to himself. "Old man!? I''ll show you this old man has a stomach made out of iron!" Sin spent the next three hours waiting in lines and going on various rides. Just like he had said, soon Alannah and Samara began feeling unwell and sat on a bench side by side. "Papa we''re not feeling so good." Both girls said with their heads down. Sin rubbed their stomachs injecting his Rebirth essence into both girls. The uneasy feeling they felt disappeared shortly after. "Papa we''re hungry!" The girls exclaimed while their bellies rumbled. Sin walked around to various food booths that caught his girls eyes. Soon before he knew it, there were six trays full to the brim with food being carried by his Mana. After finding an empty bench, Sin sat down with his girls and had lunch together. After they were done, a group of girls ran up to Alannah and Samara in excitement. "Alannah, Samara you have to come and play with us!" Alannah and Samara both smiled and replied back. "We are with our papa, we will play with you later." Over hearing all of this, Sin asked to be reassured. "Are the both of you sure, you don''t want to go and play with your friends?" Alannah and Samara nodded their heads vigorously. "We only want to spend time with our papa!" The other children who came over ran off disappointed. "You said it yourself papa, you only have a limited time to be here. To the both of us, that time is more important and precious than anything else is!" Hearing this, Sin felt bad but there was truly nothing he could do about the limited time right now. After throwing the garbage out in bins, Sin came back and said. "Well let''s make the most of our time and go play some games." Sin went bobbing for apples, popping balloons with darts and various other games. Despite having the lack of eyesight, Sin had shown his girls he was no pushover. Simple games like that were of no problem, by the time they were done playing various games. Sin had various bags full to the brim with plushies, toys and various candy. Alannah and Samara were skipping about, praising their papa for the haul they have earned. After having their fill of rides and games, the girls decided they wanted to watch the various performances. After watching many performances, night finally came. The rides, game booths, snack booths were all lit up with various lights. Creating a Christmas like scene. hundreds of thousands of long tables were spread out, all 90,000,000 bodies of the Wolf God Clan, Phoenix Heart Clan and Vermilion Bird Clan participated in the festivities and supper. Sin walked up the stage, with a glass cup in one hand, and a spoon in the other. Sin lightly tapped the cup, the sound echoed throughout the venue getting everybody''s attention. "Listen up well everyone. Thank you to each individual, and family who has contributed to our clan''s smooth unity. On behalf of our ancestors, I''d like to raise a toast to each and everyone one of you." Downing his cup of alcohol, Sin continued. "I''m aware many of you caught the underlying meaning of the notifications from the Dungeon Beast Raids successfully being cleared. I will come out and be fully honest with you all. Before the Rage God and his army came to Desolate Kingdom two and a half years ago. I acquired something called a Soulless Body Formation. The Wolf King you''ve been serving under for the last two and a half years, is the result of me splitting a part of my soul, giving it a physical body." "That part of me that has turned from a personality, into a part of my very soul upon my arrival to this world. He, as you have heard many times, is called Midnight Reaper. I am also here on borrowed time, after falling into the void. I have arrived at a new world, and been saved by a clan of Fairies. I have six days time left, before I switch places with Midnight Reaper again and return." "I can assure you all, we are able to switch places with each other whenever we want. That is until I make it back to the Scion Milkyway, there will be no more unforeseen hassles like this one." "Well I know I''ve rambled on long enough, and I''m sure everyone has worked up quite the appetite. Please everyone begin eating, enjoy the food and the rest of the festival." Sin got off the stage, and made his way back to sitting beside his girls. Sin began indulging himself in the food. Despite the eyes with unconcealed worry in them, Sin had a charm about him that could ease the minds and worries of others around him. Many had come to Sin asking for more clarification, with utmost patience Sin answered everything truthfully. Which in turn happened to lessen the worries of others, but it had also planted the seeds of ambition in some hearts. After eating their fill, Sin took his girls to the spot he and Merala previously watched fireworks. Sin spoke out what he felt. "Girls, every night I spent away in a new world. Even without my vision, I stared up into the night sky. A vast strip of never ending void separates us, but I could feel your gazes and longing. I can no longer see, but I can sense many things I never could before." "When you look up at the starry night sky, when you begin missing me or your mom. If you look hard enough, you will eventually find us in the stars. Looking down seeing our beautiful little girls from high above. We may not be here in person, but the sky is where our eyes see your amazing growth." Sin and his girls sat in silence, enjoying each other''s company and love. After thirty minutes passed, fireworks began shooting up into the sky, exploding into various colours, formations, symbols. "Stand up with me girls, I want to teach you something today. However, what I am about to teach you, and what kind of scenery you have at that time is not important. What is most important at that time, is your emotions and what your heart says." After getting up, Sin used Mystic Sorcery and shrunk himself to the perfect height of Alannah and Samara. "Samara don''t get frightened, both you and Alannah will get the same thing." Sin came to the front of Samara, with his left hand he held Samaras with his and stretched their arms out. Then his right hand wrapped around her waist. Sin guided his Mana to bring her right arm, wrapping it around his neck. Then, Sin began controlling both his and Samaras movements as they began dancing. "There is no man or woman in this world great enough for my daughters. However, if one day you or Alannah can dance with another man or woman besides me like this. If your emotions are full of love, and if your heart says he or she is the one that will one day be your husband or wife. Then I will have to accept them as being good enough for you." After dancing, and teaching Samara for an hour underneath the fireworks. Sin repeated the exact same process with Alannah. The fireworks eventually came to an end. But their joy had stopped time around them. After teaching both his daughters the dance, Sin sat down against a nearby tree and the girls snuggled into their papas embrace. Sin began combing Alannahs and Samaras hair lovingly with his hands, the girls eyes grew heavy as they soon fell asleep underneath the starry night sky. Volume 3 Chapter 11: You Can Call Me Father Dearest "KLANG!" Sparks flew as three pairs of daggers cut into each other. The atmosphere in the pitch black domain was thick with intense concentration. It was deathly silent inside the domain, but that didn''t diminish the intense atmosphere. "Klang klang klang klang klang!" Sparks shot out all over the place in a 700 meter radius. Three silhouettes were hunting and defending against each other. After an unknown period of time, the domain had been tactfully covered In puddles of water. Eventually two silhouettes fell down, slipping because of a puddle of water. "Thud" Two childish voices cursed out in frustration "Damn it! These stupid puddles of water! Papa you''re a jerk." With a sudden flash of light in the darkness, Sin had his two daggers at the throat of Alannah and Samara. "There is no such thing as being a jerk when it comes to assassination. There are only three results. Your target gets killed, you the assassin get killed, or you retreat from unfavorable situations." Sin sucked his energy back into his body, and the domain disappeared shortly after. Sins body was covered in beads of sweat from head to toe. "Good job my girls, who would have known you two had such high aptitude. You''ve already learned, and perfected everything that took me a full year to accomplish, in a matter of 6 days. You should both be very proud, uncle Midnight is going to have a run for his money facing you two little monsters." Hearing their papas appraisal, both Alannah and Samara let out brilliant smiles with their laughter. "Papa is the best teacher, that''s why we are able to learn and execute so fast!" "You two are able to synchronize perfectly with each other. If you were given another three months of time, I would certainly lose my life against the both of you. Now then, what so you say we go back for lunch. I''m starved after training you two little monsters." Sin brought his girls back home. Making a hearty lunch, Sin became dispirited knowing his time was just about to run out. "Alannah, Samara I am so proud of the both of you. I''m sorry to say it, but my time being here is up. I promise, no matter what the situation is. I will switch with uncle Midnight to tuck you two into bed, train with you, and cook for you guys still. This isn''t a goodbye by any means, this is just a see ya later." Alannah and Samara went silent, their heads hung down but they knew it was time their papa had to leave. Running into their papas embrace, hugging Sin as hard as they could both girls said. "Papa please don''t do anything dangerous to yourself. We don''t want you to get hurt!" Sin combed both of his girls hair affectionately. "Papa promises he won''t do anything to endanger himself. But you two must promise me something as well. Live well, eat well, and cultivate as hard as you can. The both of you in a couple years time no, more like a couple of weeks will surpass me if I slack off." Kissing and hugging both his girls one last time, Sin said. "See ya my little princesses, papa will switch back soon once things are under control." Sins aura vanished, and was replaced with Midnight Reapers once again. This however, was brought a long with a string of curses. "Goddamn mother fucker! I was just about to see a mother-daughter combo in the hot springs. Could he have picked a WORSE time to switch back!?" --------------------------------- "YOU FUCKING PERVERT!" Two womanly voices sounded out, shaking the Fairy Clan in wonder. "CLAP!!!!!!" "FUCK YOU MIDNIGHT REAPER!" Sin bellowed in extreme indignance and fury. The morning passed quickly, albeit with a heavy and tense atmosphere surrounding Alaris and Acacia. Sin had a bright red hand print on both left and right cheek. For the first time in five hours, Acacia talked to Sin. "Wear this it will hide your status page from Grand Master Rank and below identification spells. Also, the next time you need to relieve yourself. Let me know, I will happily do it for you. Sadly I know that was not YOUR intentions, but that other persons. The King Of Mercenary Representatives will be arriving soon, I expect answers later this evening without ANY bullshit!" Sin was given a steel blue cape, it had the insignia of the Fairy Clan engraved on it. The insignia depicted a holy woman in priest robes, illusionary like watery wings sprouted from her back, she had long cascading hair and bewitching eyes. The woman holding her hands together with palms facing the sky. In her hand was a ancient manual, the inheritance of the Fairy Clans innate Magic. Sin wore a black robe, engraved on the back was a golden Phoenix, and on the front was a white-blue Wolf. On both sides of the robes arms, there was a sky blue Dragon, and a yellow-orange Vermilion Bird. On the epicenter of the robe at Sins chest, was the depiction of a vast and boundless battlefield filled with corpses and numerous weapons. The robe was an extension of his Refinement Armour, while not as obvious. The robe embodied Sins Refinement Method, and also the Bloody Battlefield Totem that is exclusive to his bloodline and future descendants. Sin and Acacia were waiting for the King Of Mercenary Representatives to pick them up. Another hour passed, and a giant boat engraved with mysterious talismans came into sight. Acacia gave her orders to Alaris. "Alaris you are to run the clan in my steed while I am gone. You have the full support of all the elders, and also a one time use communication device pair to contact me with. You will do well my daughter, it is not the first time you had to do this before." Acacia and Alaris shared a hug with each other, Acacia took this time to tease Alaris and whispered into her ear. "Don''t worry I will take care of your precious Sin. He''s so damn handsome, I might just want to take him for a ride." Alaris broke away with a beet red face and in a huff. "That''s not fair mother!" Alaris screamed out in frustration. Acacia smiled provocatively, saying with a devilish grin on her face. "I don''t know what you mean by that my daughter." The King Of Mercenary Representatives arrived, with a domineering and oppressive aura shouted out. "Matriarch Acacia, you and your Mercenary have one minute to say your goodbyes. If you take any longer than that, you are disqualified and will be dumped at sea. I must warn you now though, the moment you step foot onto the ship. The King Of Mercenary Tournament begins!" Sin and Acacia said their goodbyes to everyone. Alaris looked longingly at Sins departing back, but couldn''t muster the courage to run up and hug him. Feeling a pair of eyes intently staring at his back, Sin rose his hand in the air and waved while calling out. "Thank you again for what you did to help me recover Alaris. The least I can do is pay you back with a favour, as long as it doesn''t cross my bottom line." Before Sin and Acacia stepped onto the ship, he heard a young girls pleading voice. "Uncle Sin please wait!" Loud voices called out from behind. "Nora you can''t disturb the King Of Mercenaries Representatives!" Nora ignored all the Fairy Clan Elders around her, she ran towards Sin with all the might her little body could muster. Sin turned around and knelt down on one knee giving Nora a hug. "Be safe, you''re the only parent I have left in this world! I don''t want to lose you, like I lost mom and papa that night!" Hugging Nora and combing her hair, Sin said with a caring voice. "Don''t you worry Nora, you should know by now uncle is not someone to kick the can easily. I will come back in one piece without any harm. But now I must go, be good for everyone while I''m gone okay?" Nora nodded her head. "I understand." Nora''s eyes couldn''t hide the sadness, and longing she felt for Sin at the same time. Sin patted Nora''s head one last time before getting back up, and stepping onto the gigantic boat. The moment Sin and Acacia stepped foot on the ship, Sin felt a bone chillingly cold killing intent erupt behind them. Acting with quick and elegant motion, Sin stomped down on an assailants dagger. The dagger was shattered to pieces between Sins foot and the wooden floor boards. Sin slashed out his sword with utmost control and speed. All six King Of Mercenary Representatives had an asterisk cut engraved on their left cheek. If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. "CHAK!" Sin sheathed Kaiser after his attack. Sins Emperor Aura blasted out of his body, giving those who were already in the lounging cabin felt a suffocating pressure. "THUD!" The six representatives smashed onto the flooring, loud cracks emitted from their chests, chins and noses. Six pink flower petals danced around each representatives neck. Sin called out as he walked in toe with Acacia to the lodging cabin. "The six of you are lucky to be high ranking representatives, if you weren''t someone else''s bitches. Your throats would be slit, and heads chopped off your body for daring to show hostility towards myself. Count your blessings, because next time I will not pull back!" Sin took this time to turn around, waving has hand in the air as he yelled out. Sin imbued his voice with Mana, allowing it to travel the 35 kilometre distance reaching Nora''s ears. "Nora train hard you made a promise to yourself. You must train like your life depends on it to achieve it no matter what!" Slamming the lodging cabins door shut, Sin retracted his Emperor Aura. The six representatives had murderous and indignant faces. "Berlin, that mother fucker overstepped the lines! I am going to kill him and Acacia!" Berlin, the leader of the representatives put the man who raged loudly in his place. "You had best learn your place Yulin, it was you who announced the beginning of the tournament when they boarded the ship. Go fuck off or I will kill you personally, besides there are plenty of other passengers to take care of them." After Sin and Acacia entered the lounging cabin, Sin spread his Mana out encompassing it. The entire lounging area was a 800 by 600 meter room. There were 75 rooms, each which had 15 pairs of bunk beds in each room. Sins Mana expanded downwards, finding there was a training hall, and rooms with training equipment, simulations, artificial intelligent dummies and so forth. Various auras locked onto Sin and Acacia moments after, some were neutral, some were easy going, and of course others were hostile. A young man came out with a smile on his face. "That little outburst we felt moments ago, had to have been you guys right?" The man reached his hand out in front of Sin. "You can call me Arcuz, what do you say we become brothers? There are plenty of badasses here already, but you''re by far the most entertaining." Sin reached his hand out clasping hands with Arcuz. "You must have more than that for a reason to want to be brothers with me?" Sin asked on high alert. Arcuz let go of their clasp shrugging his shoulders. "Whatever other reasons I have is private for now. And besides you just shook my hand, in my books that calls us brothers. Too late to pull out this now brother." Arcuz slapped Sins shoulders and said. "Let''s go in shall we? It would be rude to keep the others waiting." Sin and Acaia were brought around by Arcuz, soon a mental map had been created in Sins mind, which he passed over to Acacia. There were various red x''s, green x''s and white x''s which represented hostile, friendly, and neutral. There were 350 hostile, 75 neutral and 10 friendly including Arcuz. Arcuz'' eyes turned steel like as they entered the living room area. There were 125 people wielding various weapons. At the head of the gang was a cocky middle age man. "A new rookie who still reeks of his mother''s breast milk. Arcuz why don''t you take your new ''brother'' and jump off the boat. It would save you both a world of pai-" Sin vanished from his spot like magic, appearing behind the middle aged man. With his hand stretched out, tightly gripping the back of the mans head. Sin slammed downwards with such might, the wooden boards snapped and the entire ship rocked back and forth. "Trash like you should learn your place, there is a unspoken rule amongst mercenaries where I come from. If you have time to talk bullshit, you have already been ambushed!: Sin got up and spat on the middle aged mans unconscious body. Radiating his killing intent, Sin bellowed out. "From now on I am the mother fucking boss here! If I tell you black is white, black is white. And if I say white is black, white is black. Do you understand me maggots!?" After making his face have a calm and serene look on it, Sin mentioned a tiny detail he forgot to previously. "Before I forget to mention, if there are any objections you may come forward. However, your result will be like this piece of shit on the floor." A young man came forward, with blue hair, eyes and a innate cold attitude, with his aura surging out of his body. The temperature in the lodging cabin became -100 in seconds. "Let''s fuck him up boys, this blind mother fucker walks in all hot shit. Blow his ass to kingdom gone!" Another identical man came forward, he had red hair, eyes and a innate fiery temperament. Hugging the blue haired man, their right hands clasped as their arms stretched out. Their left arms rose in complete perfect sequence, ice and fire began mixing together. Their auras surged becoming a icy-hot like sensation. Both men yelled simultaneously. "Let''s do it brother, blow his ass to kingdom gone!" A brilliant blue-red glob of energy formed in between their hands. Taking stance, they shot the glob of energy at Sin. What was once a small little glob, became like a rocket from a fucking anti tank rifle. [Hellsing Abridged reference here.] After the beam shot full speed at Sin, a army of men and women shot out with weapons drawn. Then they came to a dead stop. Sin yawned loudly, as if the twins attack were a annoying mosquito. Sin slapped the attack away with his bare hand. The twins eyes widened in fright as they both yelled. "Oh shit!" "PRKKKKK!" The twins were blasted backwards, covered in blood from head to toe. Two arms fell to the ground, frozen solid and shattering upon impact. Thankfully the ship was laced in multiple layers of protective formations. Or else that attack alone would have blown the entirety of the ship up. After all the fog in the lounging cabin cleared up, Sin stood exactly where he was almost completely unharmed. Sin held his hand to his mouth, and was blowing on it vigorously while cursing. "Mother fucker this hot and cold sensation really pisses me off!" Sin looked at the twins seeing them both missing an arm, the quirky side of him came out. "The both of you are such an inspiration. It must be hard to live with only one arm. Although I''m sure you can still manage the circle jerk no problem. Hey look at me everyone, I''m jerking off with the Knights Of The Sticky Stumps!" Sin began motioning his hand up and down over his crotch. Sin put on a pair of black gloves, and a silver ascot then all hell broke loose. "WOOOOOOOOOH!" "You see this mother fucking ascot I''m wearing? This is my Mercenary beating ascot. I got it from beating 50 mercenaries in a row!" (I may have gotten inspiration from Attack of the ascot man.) Flashing about all 125 men and women, Sin beat them ruthlessly and without any remorse. Cracks and snaps sounded like a symphony, and Sin was conducting a one way trip to snap city. After twenty minutes passed and countless beatings, 125 bodies lay black and blue on the ground. Sin began clapping his hands. "Listen up my pathetic children. From now on you all may call me father dearest!" The day soon went by, along their way and making 345 more stops. With one mercenary, and one clan representative boarding at each stop. The ship soon became full to the brim, and chaos broke out of its cage like bats out of hell. After Sin had beaten 700 people with his fists, the six representatives could no longer turn a blind eye. However, they were quickly sent packing with panda eyes and broken pride. And so the night passed with snaps, cracks and torturous screaming out at sea. The six bruised panda eyed representatives got goosebumps, and their balls shriveled from the captain''s room. Where they watched first hand through monitors, what kind of a madman was participating in the tournament. Out of 1,125 participants and patriarchs or matriarchs, only 90 made it through the day and night unbeaten. Volume 3 Chapter 12: Looks Like Its Calamari For Supper Tonight After arranging a private room for himself and Acacia. Sin arranged 45 separate rooms for the 90 who didn''t take his bait or harassed him and Acacia after their boarding. Sin sat down across from Acacia with a helpless look on his face. "Matriarch Acacia, I am not a fan of sharing my secrets with others who are not family. But considering the kindness you, your daughter and the Fairy Clan has shown me. I will answer all your questions, but please I ask that you understand the weight of my answers and keep them to yourself." Acacia nodded her head, no longer hearing Sin''s easy going tone. Acacia knew what answers she would get were going to be major. And so Acacia began her questioning. "At the beginning of this week, when you conquered your tribulation and cultivation was repaired. Your aura became one of madness, cruelty and your entire being was murderous. I''d like you to explain that first and foremost." Sins brows scrunched together, sure enough curses sped within his mind. [Fucking bitch, stupid women''s intuition, goddamn it the only thing I didnt want to fucking answer!] Sin let out a sincere smile on his exterior, while a storm brewed inside. "That is complicated to answer but nonetheless. That is because my soul is shared between two other separate personalities, which have become a part of my soul. One of them which is a murderous piece of shit pervert, Midnight Reaper. The other is a monster both me and Midnight Reaper paid a heavy price to lock away. I obtained something called a Soulless Body Formation, split my soul with Midnight Reaper and put it into the formation. Thus my second personality, which evolved into a portion of my soul gained a physical body. We also have the ability to be at two separate locations, and switch places with our soul." Acacia went into deep thought hearing this, after mulling over it for a long period of time. Her look relaxed as she seemed to understand it. "As I have seen the events that happened two and a half years ago. Is it safe to assume you swapped with Midnight Reaper''s soul portion, so that you could go and see your daughters and clan?" Sin nodded his head. "Yes that is correct. My daughters have suffered much over the last two and a half years. It was rough at first, while I did not expect them to forgive me anytime soon. Things quickly came back to normal, the ice over the water was no longer as thick after my visit." Acacia let out a long and understanding sigh. "That is to be expected, although your case is very special compared to others. Fathers really do get the shit end of the stick, my husband was never really a part of Alaris'' life. He was the only SSS rank Mercenary on the divine continent. Work always pulled him away, and he missed most of Alaris'' birthdays. But no matter how much she came to hate her father. He loved her regardless with all his heart, it wasn''t until he died Alaris began to understand all her father did and how much he loved her, despite the lack of his presence over the years." Sin became silent, he could understand how Alaris felt. He was also an uncle, with a niece and nephews who adored him. Yet there was no given time he would be able to return to them. Before Sin could find a way to say his apologies for the conversation digging up deep graves. The alarm systems in the ship began going off, the voice of Berlin sounded out throughout the ship. "Candidates of the King Of Mercenary Tournament, and clan leaders. We have come under attack from the Sea king, please find something to hold onto with your dear life!" Sin flashed out of the lounging cabin with Acacia in tow. After exiting what entered Sins Mana was a horrendously big Kraken. It had thousands of tentacles, and billowing waves were surging about. A 850 meter wave was coming directly at them, from the after effects of the tentacles whipping the water. Sins eyes glowed brilliantly like two golden stars, 250 brave beaten mercenaries came out onto the main deck. Seeing the monstrous Kraken, and tens of thousands of other predators. Their brows furrowed and some began to regret being so brave. Acacia looked at Sin, seeing his eyes light up so bright, she couldn''t help but ask. "What the fuck is going through your head right now to make you look so goddamn eager!?" Sin sucked in a big breath of air, then he yelled out something shocking everyone present.Stolen story; please report. "Listen up mother fuckers, it looks like we are having calamari for supper tonight! I want all mother fucking hands on drawn blades, sever each and every fucking tentacle that comes near!" Sin drew Kaiser from its sheath, engulfing the blade in Midnight Glory. Sin began running full speed across the boat, launching himself off the deck. Sin flew over 200 kilometers an hour towards the 850 meter wave. Cleaving downwards with Kaiser in both hands, a midnight black flame shot out like a beam from Kaiser. The wave and ocean was split in half for a distance of 3 kilometres. Tentacles fell but were quickly wrapped up by Mana, and brought safely back to the ship. Sin activated his Withering Sword Dance, tens of mutant sharks, whales were split into chunks falling back into the ocean. Slashing out in a straight line, Sin cleaved an incoming tentacle in half. The Kraken raged spitting out a condensed icicle from its mouth. Punching out with his left fist, Sin shattered the icicle into pieces. A cold and icy energy surged through Sins arm, freezing the blood, and muscles within. The tentacle Sin just split in half, quickly began regenerating within moments it was perfectly fine. "You''re a tough son of a bitch ain''t ya?" Sin yelled out, slashing out in a flurry creating a storm of sword lights. Flower petals shot out from Sins clothes, two long rows of swords materialized in midair. The swords withered away, creating even more flower petals and sword lights. The flower petals and sword lights made quick work of the tentacles. Sin cleaved Kaiser downwards, slicing the Kraken in two separate halves. [Ballad Of The Mystic Blade Empress!] [Thunder Lords Descent!] "CLAP!" A clap of thunder was heard, before a blinding ray of lightning cleaved downwards. Sin spread his Mana over top the two halves of the Kraken. There were no signs, or anything hidden at play for its continuous regeneration. Since it was just an innate ability, Sin just had to vaporize it until it could no longer regenerate. Seeing the tentacles grow out of nowhere this time, a creeping thought passed his mind. Sin diverted his Mana scoping the deck, all the previously collected tentacles were missing. Steam billowed out of Sins ears sounding like a steam whistle. The Kraken''s tentacles in perfect condition, seemed like the colour red. Sin let out a loud bull yell of anger. "Mother fucker, if I cant eat you, I will kill you fucking dead!" Sin yelled out like a deranged man. Acacia who was on board couldn''t help but let out an enchanting laugh. Arcuz came to the side of Acacia. "It seems since the Fairy Clan has separated from the imperial family, there has been a deep resurgence with this man''s arrival. Who would''ve known I would become brothers with this crazed bastard! Isn''t that right, sister Acacia?" "Besides, that man Raizen, or should I say Grand Warrior Sin, has caused a tremble within the sealed Infernal Keep. I want to judge what he is made of to disturb that sleeping calamity." Arcuz'' look drastically changed, he went from being a 5''8 lanky 23 year old young man. To become a 6''7 barbarian build looking middle aged man with grey hair, hawk eyes, and an unfathomable divine aura. Shooting her eyes to the side, and scoffing at Arcuz. Acacia said with a voice full of unconcealed hatred. "Remember this now Ragenitus. It was you the mighty Emperor of the divine continent, that cut ties with us remember?! I am the bastard daughter of our father, and mother the Fairy Ancestress. You can fuck right off back to where you came from. We have no longer been family since that day you killed my husband! Alaris is your niece, YOUR FUCKING NIECE!" Acacia drew out an emerald blade from her sheath. Her entire being radiated a dense and primordial Nature Qi, something that should not belong to a lower domain. As a power house that has the Qi of a higher domain supporting her, Acacia was by no means any weaker than the peak form of the Demon Lord. Despite being at the early Divine stages, and two whole realms separating them. Acacia could easily draw with the Demon Lord in her glory. Just as Acacia was about to cleave her sword, Arcuz behind his sister snapped his fingers. Over 150,000 sea predators had their existence erased, and all memory of these beasts karma in their galaxy was wiped clean. "Us harbingers need to look out for each other my dearest little sister. Those beings who were born in the higher domains will do anything to force our tribulation. Unlike them who live a life of royalty, we must struggle to make our life have meaning. If they sense any trace of your aura, you will become a quick meal. Our cultivation bases, combat instincts, and techniques are a delicacy to those fucking pigs. All they need is to eat our body to absorb it all in a matter of seconds. I may have burnt bridges with you, but you are my only sister. Remember that Acacia!" Arcuz changed his look back to his old mask. Running and jumping off the boat, Arcuz yelled in Sins direction. "Brother I am coming to help you!" Sin turned around in pure and utter fury yelling back. "Fuck off you little bastard if I can''t eat this fucking thing, I will kill it mysel-" "CLAP!" Two tentacles came together crushing Sin in between them. Blood ran down the tentacles dying it red. The tentacles let go, and what remained was a scarlet ice sculptor of Sin. Moments later, a 75 meter black flame scythe formed in the sky above. Sins furious yell shattered the ice encasing his body. "You fucking monster right out of a goddamn hentai. I just lost the last bit of the patience I had left!" [Sky Conqueror: Ragnas Sycthe!] The black flame scythe slashed down, cutting the Kraken in half and incinerating it. Sin appeared beside the still beating heart, piercing his index and middle finger through it. [Mystic Sorcery: White Nebula!] The undamaged heart let out, and was blown up to kingdom come. Sin flashed back onto the deck of the ship. Many of the beaten mercenaries, patriarchs and matriarchs came forward with the intentions to praise Sin. But for those who didn''t know Sin, were not aware his composed exterior was far from the real deal. Sin walked passed each and everyone of them, his hand flew out like a gale slapping each person out of his way. Along his way, all they could hear was Sin grumbling to himself. "Piece of fucking shit Kraken, its tender flesh would have made perfect deep fried calamari!" Sin went down into the training hall, and entered into a reinforced room to vent his frustration. Nothing was worse than craving certain food, and then not being able to have it after being prepared for it. ----------------------------------- Elsewhere, the patriarchs and matriarchs of the clans that were humiliated in the Fairy Clan gathered together. All of a sudden, a matriarch spit out a mouthful of blood, her luscious black hair began turning white as her complexion paled. In utter disbelief she said aloud. "That''s impossible, my pet I have been hiding and cultivating for so long has been killed!" The originator of the Black Rock Organization slammed his fists down on a table. "That mother fucker, how have they survived that Krakens assault!? Beryl you fucking useless woman, why didn''t you activate your talent and make it stronger. Due to your overconfidence, we now have a top competitor who is still able to participate." Beryl scoffed as she left the room. The Black Rock Organization originator made various telepathic calls to his own pawns. "There''s a young man aboard one of the ships that goes by the name of Raizen. The moment the preliminaries start, I want you and the others to work together and kill him. Do not disappoint me my son!" Feeling a connection on the other end, a confident youthful voice was heard. "Yes father, it will be done!" The connection was cut, the man let out a sigh as he began thinking to himself. [Raizen the wandering Sword Master huh? What a load of crap, you will be floating chunks in the abyss when I''m done with you!] Volume 3 Chapter 13: The Bloody Preliminaries Begin Four months passed by peacefully, after Sin had claimed his dominance as top dog. The beginning phase of the tournament, where normally hundreds will die. There were no more life threatening casualties, except for a lot of broken pride and bones. But hey, that''s a pretty damn good situation all in all. The six representatives had also begun getting all buddy buddy with Sin. However, that was all a front they were playing. On the third night, Sin made a ''surprise'' visit to bea- I mean put them in their place. If there was one thing Sin hated more than brown nosers, it was those who would suck up with ulterior motives. If it weren''t for their status, Sin had no qualms about getting rid of these representatives at sea. But that was just a small thought in his mind, what truly excited him was the tournament. With his newly made brother Arcuz, who knew a lot more than most people should know. Sins engine and battle lust had all been revved up. But for now, Sin spent this period of four months swapped with Midnight Reaper. Vigorously training himself, Lan, Alannah and Samara. While his stats had no big improvements, the time he spent digesting his master''s Sword Heart was very crucial. Sin passed along his Withering Sword Dance, and the two new forms he created within this period of time. It had become a public ability, something all could learn without any merit or contribution points needed. Sin had also given a copy of his Refinement Method to Lan, Samara and all 240 elders that now controlled over 90,000,000 people. Sin gave the 240 elders, Alannah, Samara and Lan a drop of his blood.Samara was able to rank up to God tier. However, no one else was able to elevate theirs. This had brought Sin to a conclusion, Alanmah and Samara are both a part of his bloodline. Where else the other elders, and Lan did not have Sins bloodline in them. However, in the end they still managed to reach Divine rank for their Refinement Method, giving them an extreme boost in power, as well as the authority to pass it down to 120 excellent individuals per year. During this time, Sin had gotten Alannah and Samara out of their sleep habits. Both girls now cultivated their Refinement Method religiously. Sin had also given them a new habit, to cultivate under the starry night sky every night. This allowed them to absorb very small amounts of starlight, but further increased the efficiency of their cultivation, and would enrich their Mana over a long period of time. Sin had gotten inspiration on his last night, thick beams of starlight poured down. Sins Mana hungrily devoured it, while in his mind concepts of conducting starlight were flooding in. Back on the deck of the ship, Arcuz was looking at the vast and turbulent waters in the sea. Maybe it was a hint, or it was the feeling of pain he thought he lost, but hearing his little sister berate him. The lid that choked his emotions down like they were an evil surprise, finally gave out. Looking up at the starry night sky, Arcuz sensed the thick starlight energy building up. Eventually, shooting stars and comets began raining down from the sky. A phenomenon that was new to this world. Arcuz felt a sharp and overwhelming Sword Qi burst out from the lounging cabin. A hexagonal formation appeared in the sky, funneling thick and pure starlight energy down into Sins fleshly body, and Soul Weapon Kaiser. Sins body became ethereal, and floated out from the lounging cabin. A brilliant sea of twinkling stars, stardust and comets flew about Sins body in a 25 meter distance. The starlight poured into Kaiser, enhancing the sharpness of the blade, and the sword spirit. Stars fell down from the sky, They became the size of an adult''s palm. The stars engraved themselves onto the blade of Kaiser. Sins Refinement robe disappeared, leaving his figure completely exposed. Thick starlight energy wrapped around Sins Refinement robe, forming a cocoon. While these changes were happening in both Scion Milkyway, and this galaxy Sin had fallen into. The beings from the higher domains felt the disturbance also, the main palace of the Infernal Keep began rumbling. The should be extinct race that nearly wiped out the higher domains and lower domains, began waking up. The 750,000,000,000 years of slumber had come to a grinding halt. And this all started with one man, and two children. Three hours passed, Sins body floated back down into the lounging cabin. Whereas back in the Desolate Kingdom, Alannah and Samara entered into a state of enlightenment. Feeling the changes within his daughters, Sin left a note for them filled with starlight energy locking the content. If they had improved as much as he gauged them to, they would get the note and their next meeting would be in one week. Sin took a look at the timer on the Spirit Container. [The required time of rebirth for those in the Soulless Body Container has been cut in half. 3 years, 4 months, 26 days remaining.] Sin was both relieved, but also reminded of his own weakness once again, Sin thought to himself. [Soon my precious wife and little sister. I wonder, will the both of you hate me for my selfish actions back then?] After swapping back with Midnight Reaper back to his own body, Sin noticed Arcuz and Acacia both eyeing him weirdly. Sin lightened up the tension that was slowly building and said. "Don''t tell me entering that state made me a woman? Brother Arcuz, do I have a big rack of breasts that appealing to your eyes?" Arcuz soon began laughing, he looked at Acacia with a tired look and secretly communicated. "Has this mother fucker always been like this? I''m regretting becoming brothers with him now." Acacia laughed out loud heartily. "From my looks, I''d say you also gained the magic hole that tempts all men." Sin looked down in fright, seeing his naked body and trunk still dangling with pride. Giving it a couple slaps and taps, Sin confirmed his fear was for nothing. Putting on a spare pair of clothes Sin let out a hearty sigh. "Brother Arcuz let''s go and look out at the starry night, don''t you feel your heart pounding? It almost feels like some ancient calamity has woken up." The rest of the night passed, Sin and Arcuz gazed endlessly at the starry sky. With his new starlight energy, and enhanced Mana. Sin caught movement of an aura that made him quiver in his combat boots. Although for a mere fleeting second, Sin saw a future 10,000 years from now of his own powerless demise. As dawn began rising, Sin was dead silent and mentally shaken. The terror, anguish, and trillions of haunting souls he felt for a mere second rattled his mind. Arcuz was also dead silent, except he felt his entire kingdom threatened. The portion of the Infernal Keep he sealed away, began showing signs of rebellion and breaking the chains one by one. Each snap he heard made his heart quiver. Arcuz happened to look at his left, he met eye to eye with Sin. Despite not knowing each other for long, both men knew they saw the same bleak future awaiting them. But neither of them could ever guess, Sin had awoken monstrosities that would soon descend to the lower domains in 10,000 years time. ------------------------ The sun hung high in the sky shining and blazing in its own glory. The ship had finally arrived at the divine continent, and it was the last out of 350,000.Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. The voice of Berlin, the head of the representatives sounded throughout the ship. "Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to announce we have safely arrived on the divine continent. Please exit the ship in an orderly manner, you will have guides to bring you to your destination. Do not mindlessly wander where you''re not wanted." Sin, Acacia and Arcuz led the pack as they got off the ship. Sin could feel the dense Mana in the air. It made him feel like he was a fish swimming in water. Quickly guides came forward, one came to Sin and said. "Mister Raizen, this is your Mercenary Badge. For each competitor you kill, it will automatically add to your points. I will be your guide, we are going to the central square of the divine city. The Emperor himself will explain the preliminaries." Sin followed behind his guide, and they made their way to the central square. After the guide stopped, Sin and the guide stood side by side. Sin let his Mana wander out of his body, in mere moments Sin had counter 750,000 participants present, and that number was speedily increasing. After standing in silence for two hours, the final participant count was 4,650,000. What surprised Sin was he couldn''t sense Arcuz amongst those in the crowd. It was like he simply vanished, despite leaving the ship with him and Acacia in tow. A heart stopping aura surged out, a middle aged man with an imposing barbarian build appeared on the main stage. Behind him stood a 7 kilometer tall scarlet rakshasa. The Emperor raised his hand, all the nearby hushed voices were shut quiet. No matter how anyone tried, they couldn''t talk or make a single movement. "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the 250th generation Imperial Emperor Ragenitus. I bow to you and thank you all for participating in my tournament. Out of 25,000,000 participants, you are all the cream of the crop. Millions have died or been killed along their way here. This concludes the entrance stage of the tournament." Emperor Ragenitus snapped his fingers, a teleportation channel appeared behind him. His voice sounded out again explaining. "This time, with the resurgence of the King Of Mercenary tournament, I am spicing things up and changing some things. For your preliminary competition, you will all enter the battlefield behind me. It is a separate world I made within this dimension, your goal is simple. Kill all those who stand in your way, the preliminary competition will last for three years and 5 months." "Now I will make this very clear. I have written a contract for all matriarchs and patriarchs to sign. Whether these hired mercenaries come from your clan, or hired outsiders. Whatever they do inside the separate world, has nothing to do with your personal matters. Thus this contract explicitly states." 1) You may not act out of hand for revenge, if your representative dies that is due to their weakness. 2) You are not able to hire outsiders to kill for you, if you do. I will personally erase your soul, karma, and chance of reincarnation will be wiped clean from all universes. 3) If any outside organizations these mercenaries come from look for answers. With your signature, they understand I will wipe them out of existence for breaching my rules. 4) The strong will survive, and the weak will die. "If you understand my rules, you may contact those organizations and tell them my rules. And if you don''t, you can fuck off. And let me make myself clear. If ANYONE has the courage to make a stink before me, I will kill you where you stand. Be smart, not dumb you maggots!" Emperor Ragenitus snapped his fingers, a clock timed for two minutes appeared behind him. "This is how much time you have to decide, any who do not sign within the given time, or those who walk out now are disqualified immediately." Within a matter of two minutes, 575,000 were disqualified. They were taken away by their guides, but there were many hot heads who got angry, and began making a scene. But that was quickly taken care of by Ragenitus. The ones who made a stink, vanished from existence no longer able to go through the cycle of rebirth. Ragenitus voiced out once again. "I made myself crystal clear did I not? I don''t believe I stuttered when I mentioned the consequences. Well no matter, ladies and gentlemen I formally declare the preliminaries begin!" The crowd began getting crazy, there were over 4,000,000 participants. Each and every person was more hot blooded than the other. Ragenitus went off stage and vanished, but no one had the guts to be the first to go through first. Sin flashed up to the stage, and stood in front of the portal with his back facing the crowd. Raising his middle fingers up he yelled out. "See ya later you pussies! Early bird gets the worm!" Sin flashed into the portal, Ragenitus who just changed looks back into Arcuz saw this all go down. He cursed like Tech N9ne within his mind, but he soon acted as well. Arcuz called out to Sins disappearing figure. "Brother, you can''t honestly want to take all the fun for yourself do you?" Making it in time, Sin and Arcuz clasped wrists with each other. And both had a mutual understanding with each other. They were both painting a huge target on their back. But they both knew the chaos they were going to stir up, was well worth being the main targets. After Arcuz and Sin entered into the separate world, the others on the outside began stirring like an enraged bees nest. Hundreds began flocking into the separate world at top speed. The whole crowd was sent ablaze. Sin and Arcuz floated in mid air 75 meters away from their entrance point. Both men fist bumped each other. Arcuz said to Sin. "You truly know the tried and proven true method to kick start things. When those enraged pests come through, make sure you save some for me to kill brother." Sin laughed hearing Arcuz'' words and replied. "No promises, I know hiding within that lanky exterior is a caged beast like mine. If you want your fair share, you had better work for it." A minute passed, and tens of participants were flooding in each second. Sin smiled viciously as his body became ethereal, stars, comets and stardust formed a circle around Sins current state. Transmitting his voice to Arcuz he explained. "If you want to avoid friendly fire, I suggest you stay within the diameter of my ring." Sin flew forward, changing Kaiser into its Great Sword form. Thick starlight covered the blade, the thickness of it increased by 6 inches, and length by 11 inches. The engraved stars on Kaisers blade became active, although it was the middle of the day. The stars were conducting and pulling starlight energy down. The word Emperor on Kaiser blazed with a majestic golden aura, perfectly combining with the starlight energy making the deadly blade enchanting to look at. Sin flew forward, with a single slash with Kaiser, a beam of condensed moonlight energy shot out. Decapitating thirty new arrivals, Arcuz pulled out one crimson red blade, and another cyan blue. Rotating both his wrists together, Arcuz'' dual swords formed a high speed fan. Charging forward through forty participants, all of them had been cut up into chunks of flesh falling from the sky. Arcuz let out a cocky smile and yelled out. "That''s forty for me compared to your thirty brother, you better step up your gam-" Arcuz was interrupted as Sin held the hilt of Kaiser, stabbing down with it onto the sky boundary. A massive blue-white cross formed in the air. It''s aura expanded and it quickly became a 300 meter tall cross. [Mystic Sorcery: Sanctuary Cross!] Over 350 figures were enveloped within, blood, organs, guts, intestines, rained down from the sky onto the land below. Sin raised his right hand up, putting it behind his ear as he said back to Arcuz. "What I couldn''t hear you, that''s my 380 kill count to your 40. You''d best step up your game brother!" Arcuz grinded his teeth in humiliation, he the mighty Emperor Ragenitus, had never been mocked by his generation, let alone a kid like Sin. Arcuz'' aura spiked several notches, Sin felt like he was suffocating from it even though he was 6 miles away. Sin called out once again provoking Arcuz. "Did I touch a nerve? Well prove to me you aren''t a little bitc-" Arcuz slashed out with his dual swords, two crescent sword beams cut through 2,000 participants like a hot knife through butter. "Fuck you brother, you instigated this!" Both men yelled back and forth, clearly competing over who has the higher kill count. Sin and Arcuz went on a killing spree, both men were egging each other on. The flow of the participants was steadily increasing. Now there were over 75,000 within the separate world. All of them were holding a deep grudge against Sin and Arcuz. Both of these two crazy bastards were having a competition that concerned their survival. It was only day one, yet they had already taken the top two places. This had indeed made these ruthless mercenaries, group up to fight against the two killing machines. A man came out in front of the group of participants, and quickly rallied them all together. "I am Alistar the disciple of the Saint Sword Master Kreuzen. Ladies and gentlemen these two ruthless pieces of shit have been killing us like live stock for no good reason. Under my leadership, we can all power through these mother fuckers, and then split our separate ways. But before that, we must fuck these bastards up!" The battle-crazed participants took notice of Al¨¬shard. Putting their pride away, they all knew Alistar had the might to control their group. Sin looked over in Arcuz'' direction, both men nodded towards each other. Arcuz flashed behind Sin, with his back against Sins back. Both of their energies began synergizing with each other. Before long, their energies became a knot together. Interwoven together forming a perfect link. Sin used Void Steps, and flashed behind Alistar. With his left hand holding half way down the hilt, Sin knelt down and began vibrating his body. With the created momentum, Sin sprung up thrusting the pommel of the hilt, into Alistars sacrum. A loud crunch was heard with Alistar being blasted into the air. Sin called out. "Now!" Arcuz who had been moving in perfect sync with Sin, separated from Sin''s back and used a technique with his stored up power. [Dual Abyss: Icy Inferno!] A vacuum column shot out, trapping thousands of participants within. Both elements which were in perfect sync with each other, became berserk within moments and clashed against each other. Ice and fire caused a thick fog to coat the area around the entrance. A crystalline tree was created, its roots wrapped around various frozen menciles and womcicles. A raging fire ball hit the crystalline tree. [Dual Element Crusade!] Sin spit out a glob of condensed lightning energy, Sins eyes sparkled brightly, and currents of lightning sparked overtop his body. Sin zig zagged as he slashed Alistars body open, reaching the top of the lightning formation. Sin accelerated slashing downwards splitting Alistars body in half. [Mystic sorcery: Lightning Grand Cross!] Alistars'' still conscious mind became devoured by the lightning, his body turned into ash that was blown across the entrance from the raging winds. Sin noticed Arcuz was trapped within a formation of 100,000 participants. Sin flashed covering Arcuz with his arms spread out. A blazing saber became embedded into Sins chest down to his abdomen. Sin punched out, blowing the attacker into bloody bits. Placing his palm on Arcuz'' wounded shoulder, and putting his index and middle finger to his forehead. Sin declared loudly before disappearing in a blinding ray of light. "If Goku can do it, so can I, see ya later mother fuckers!" Moments after, Alistars master who was inspecting his back room heard a sharp snap. Turning his head backwards slowly, his face became deathly pale before being overrun with rage. His master bellowed loudly as he shot forth to the divine city. "WHICH MOTHER FUCKER DARES TO KILL MY DISCIPLE!?" Ragenitus, who had created Arcuz as a clone, intercepted the Saint Sword Master halfway to the preliminary world. "You as well as everyone else heard my rules, if you dare take another step forward. I will wipe your entire sect off the face of our galaxy!" Sword Saint Kreuzen let out a loud bestial roar. Charging back to the back mountains of his sect. An overwhelming Sword Qi erupted devouring 1,000 miles worth of land. Knowing that Emperor Ragenitus was a man who kept his word, and wouldn''t act unless someone crossed the line he drew. Sword Saint Kreuzen was smart, and let out his billowing rage in the land that belonged to his sect. Blood began rolling down the side of Ragenitus'' mouth, wiping it away and began appraising Sins sense of honour. "A man who can sacrifice his well being for his brothers, I take it back Grand Warrior Sin. Despite the massive bridge separating our social status, you are a worthy brother indeed!" Elsewhere, Sin and Arcuz appeared in a hidden cave. Sin''s Withering Sword Dance surged out, detecting no hostilities in the cave. Sin deactivated it and let out a sigh of relief. "Brother Arcuz, that was so exhilarating! Your techniques are overpowering, I can''t help but admire you more than before!" Sin then wiped the blood stains off his face, grabbing the saber embedded into his upper body, Sin ripped it out with force. Bringing a surge of blood from his fleshly body. Sitting down cross legged, Sin wrapped his body and Arcuz'' body within his Rebirth essence. Their injuries although not light, or fatal recovered fully in three hours time. The brothers stood up and said in unison. "Let''s continue our party from earlier on brother!" Sin left a locking formation from his Mystic Sorcery. This cave would later be their headquarters for their various operations. And if anyone were to force their way into it, the cave would self detonate with might that''s able to wipe out a middle stage third promotion expert. Volume 3 Chapter 14: The System, Tera Knox, Septimum Alcharos Just as Sin was about to leave, Arcuz called out from behind him. "Brother, I think that it''s about time you stop pretending like you''re not aware of my personal matters." Sin stopped and stood in place. With his back to Arcuz, Sin kept his guard down as he felt no hostility. And to be quite frank, Sin was also still naive in some ways. For example brotherhood, Sin had been stabbed in the back before back on Earth. But his personality didn''t allow him to put up guards, once an oath of brotherhood has been made. Sin turned around, and leaned up against the rock wall with his arms crossed against his chest. "Brother, I am well aware each man has his secrets, and each man has his own pride as well as selfishness. I am also a victim to my own secrets, pride, and selfishness. I was already aware from the first moment, you had other devices in mind for approaching me. However, you have also showed me zero hostility, and even if you did, I fail to believe I would make it out on top." "A little bit of advice man to man, it is none of my business for the matters of that night you were with Acacia. While my Mana happened to unintentionally catch some details. I must tell you this now, if you do not pick up that bridge with Acacia and Alaris. There will come a day when you will regret it. Take it from me, my selfishness is the reason why my daughters lived everyday for the last three years without their mom or dad." Arcuz was silent, but his eyes found it hard to conceal the shock within. From the very moment he had made hand contact with Sin, he was already figured out and gave himself away. Arcuz also took a comfortable spot, leaning up against the rock wall directly across from Sin. Sighing he said to Sin. "I originally didn''t want to tell you this until you became much stronger. But ever since the night of the starlight energy you formed, it has begun awakening a certain calamity, something that should never belong in the lower, or upper domains. But first things first, to gain your complete trust in me, I will reveal my true identity to you. But you must not ever let word out. I am the 250th generation Emperor Ragenitus you just saw on the stage not long ago. However, during the period of this tournament please continue calling me brother, or Arcuz." Sin nodded his head calmly, while the reveal of Arcuz'' identity was within his mind. It hadn''t been something that concerned himself a whole lot from the beginning. Ragenitus began telling what he felt was important enough for Sin to know. "Around 1,500 years ago when I was still a fledgling youth, I was out travelling and came across a very unholy place. Many cruel and torturous rituals were held within, while I was still too weak at that time, I should have died within. A middle aged man who called himself the Prophet brought me to a hidden library. That was where I learned about everything, and was foretold one day of your own arrival to our world. With his beyond Immortals power, the Prophet helped me seal away the Infernal Keep. When he revealed his power though, scarlet chains fell from the sky and wrapped him within. I heard the voice of a monstrous entity, it said something amongst the lines. [You goddamn traitor! How dare you help insignificant humans seal away our home. Don''t forget, we were created to devour the fish, evolve and kill our creators enemies. You have crossed the line, no matter how you''re tortured it could never pay for your grave offence.]" Ragenitus continued on. "It was then that my burning curiosity began taking over. I read through each and every book within the library. It took me two decades, but the history I learned through the various books, the bleak future, a giant System that controls all life throughout our lower and higher domains. The higher domains where Immortals roam, is not the end of the path. Beyond that is the creators of this so called System. They play the game of Gods Hand and determine our destiny. The system creators named this race the Tera Knox. The race was imbued with their power, to put it in simple terms. The strongest Immortals in the higher domains, is of equivalent power to the infants of the Tera Knox race." "During that time, the creators of the System and Tera Knox were in a war of extinction with another enemy, Septimum Alcharos. The Tera Knox and System was created with two main purposes. One, to successfully separate the original world, creating a cage where we would all become live stock for the Tera Knox to consume and evolve. Two, the creators were originally enslaved by the Septimum Alcharos, they came from various races outside of the Systems separation plan. Their plan was to use all the other races that were trapped inside this big system, as food for the Tera Knox. The Tera Knox would successfully evolve, and eliminate the Septimum Alcharos." This time Sin could no longer remain calm, there was always questions behind his transfer to Desolate Kingdom. Ever since Sin was a child, he always had these fragmented dreams that haunted him and were his constant nightmares. Hearing the short bit of history from Ragenitus, Sins memory began working in overdrive. The nightmarish fragmented dreams he had as a child, became clear once more after he heard of the Tera Knox, and Septimum Alcharos. Feeling the surging shock within Sin, Ragenitus confirmed his suspicion and continued on.The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. "That is the most that I can tell you right now, already telling you that is pushing boundaries and hidden expectations. However, what is the true and most pressing matter right now, is that the Infernal Keep has reacted to you, and the power you gained. While there is much more I would like to explain to you, I feel like it would only hit a wall and earn nothing." Sins mind began working, organizing the new information he received. After a minute of deep thought, Sin began asking his own questions. "You mentioned you spiced things up for the opening of the new King Of Mercenaries tournament. Not only that, you reveal your identity to me, the history behind an impeding destruction that is out of our hands. And to top it all off, you introduced me to the Infernal Keep, Tera Knox, and the Septimum Alcharos. So tell me Ragenitus, do you expect me to have some power or method to reseal the Infernal Keep?" Ragenitus had a mulling look on his face, he hesitated to answer the next part, but nonetheless he did so. "To answer your questions, I don''t believe you have any power or method to reseal the Infernal Keep. I also told you everything relating to the System, Tera Knox and Septimum Alcharos because you should be aware of it. At one point in time, you had the last bit of Shenzis remnant soul in your body. The Ancestor of the Wolf God Clan. And back then, although Shenzi didn''t thwart any major plots, we were bought 350,000 years. The remaining power that Shenzi hid within you, is the key to reseal the Infernal Keep." Sin had a deep and mulling look on his face. It seemed like long since he were a innocent child, he was already a piece of the chess board. What piece he became was not in his own hands to decide. "Tell me Ragenitus, within 350,000 years there is only 10 generations of Wolf Kings. Something here doesn''t add up, your ancestors supposedly go way back with Shenzi. This grudge between us humans and demons, is that also a ploy made by those creators? A lot of mystery revolves around the Wolf King Ancestor, what was the cause of his death, what did he do to attract their attention? And why was it that I became the casket for his remnant soul?" "350,000 years ago when Shenzi supposedly fell in battle with the Demon Lord, by mysterious means he managed to exit the System we are trapped within. There he pillaged the hidden Infernal Keep that went under the Septimum Alcharos'' radar. However, he was contaminated by the blood of the Tera Knox Royalty. The creators came to eventually learn of these events, they wiped out my ancestors and the Immortal unit Shenzi created, Crimson Constellation. The Wolf God Clan, and Desolate Kingdom have been in a constant time loop. Every 500,000 years, the world is wiped clean of all Karma, and all records of the past civilizations are erased. Shenzi then split his soul into millions of remnant pieces, and here you are, as one of those chosen ones." Ragenitus took out a thin needle from his clothes, his eyes looked heavily at Sin before he said. "Before I can truly rule out everything running inside my mind, the simplest way would be to test the blood in your body. I was warned by the Prophet once, the resurgence of the Infernal Keep is a grave matter to my families kingdom, my citizens, and my only sisters and nieces future. I hope you can understand." Sins atmosphere began changing, the hostility he held back within him was beginning to resurface. With a voice full of steel he asked. "And so what if this test proves those thoughts in your mind, will you dispose of me? I had better warn you ahead of time, I have five of my senses left, I will not give a damn how many I have to sacrifice. If you push my bottom line, one of us will die here today!" Ragenitus went on full alert just like Sin was. Raising both hands into the air and putting the needle away, Ragenitus tried to calm the situation. "Easy brother, I do not plan to dispose of you. I just need to confirm your true origins. If by some odd miracle like the Prophet told me, you may become the only deciding factor to brave these raging currents. I do not ask you for myself, but as a father and husband to each other. Think about your own family and clans future, you are from Earth just like Shenzi is. I''m sure you have parents there who long for the best of their son." Sin and Ragenitus had both been on full alert for half an hour, both were mentally weighing each other out. Beads of sweat quickly began to pitter patter onto the ground, both men were people with their inner demons and darkness. If both were to go toe to toe without any thought of their current situations, it could very well cause galaxies to disintegrate if they held no punches back. Sin retracted his hostility back into his body, Ragenitus did the same thing as Sin. Both men instantly felt like a invisible knife had been removed from their throat. Rolling his shirts sleeve up Sin said. "Do as you must, but my words remain true. Turn on me, and either one of us will die and leave behind something that we cannot afford to leave behind!" Ragenitus took out the needle once more, feeling Sin on high alert had also triggered himself. But to prove his sincerity, Ragenitus held it within himself. Quickly piercing the needle into Sins arm, after a minute passed and the entire needle became a metallic purple. Ragenitus pulled it out, and began earnestly studying it. This however, had provoked a third part to Sin that had been hidden for a long time. Sins sclera began turning black, and his eyes became a deep crimson. Ragenitus noticed the changes within Sin, but the greater shock had yet to arrive. Within his bloodline, Ragenitus felt a prehistoric beast staring right at him. The Infernal Keep he sealed began reacting to the needle with Sins blood. Sins eyes began changing between a deep crimson, and back to their lifeless white colour. Sins hands reached to his head, he began digging his fingers into his flesh and tearing downwards. Sin let out a bestial roar of rage and pure wickedness. Sins body fell to the ground, and it quickly became covered in Sins sweat. "You..... bastard Ragenitus... I swear if you fucked around with me.... I will purposely lose control and wipe your kingdom out!" Sin was panting like a dog, a strong bestial intent began corroding his mind. The blood in Sins Heart World began rumbling, the sound of a bells dong began echoing from the palace behind the gates in Sins Heart World. Sasha who was inside cultivating, felt a disturbance in the Primordial Chaos energy. When she opened up her eyes, there was a tangible monstrous entity standing in front of her. Its hand reached out, and began sucking away the spirit fire from her being. Midnight Reaper who was in Desolate Kingdom, felt the sudden change from their soul. That third being which had been sealed away, temporarily woke up and was beginning to corrode them. Ragenitus who was staring in shock muttered to himself in disbelief and terror. "The blood of the Tera Knox royalty!" Crimson-black flames began radiating off of Sins body, Sins eyes widened as his flesh became tense and started tearing apart. Purple blood oozed out of Sins flesh, Ragenitus quickly snapped out of his trance and began acting with speed. Remembering what he read from the books, Ragenitus stabbed the needle with Sins blood through his heart. He interjected all of his Mana into Sins Heart World. The tangible figure that appeared began flickering, its hand let go of Sasha''s spirit fire. It grinned cruelly, looking in the main hall and saw Midnight Reaper there and left its last words. "It seems our play time has come to an end brother Midnight. My awakening isn''t that far off in the future. I can''t wait to watch how you and him struggle to seal me again! The Infernal Keep has begun reacting, I wish you the best in the near future brother. Until the day Sin accepts who he really is, I may just kill you both if it takes too long." The tangible figure disappeared, Sins struggling came to a halt. His flesh began repairing, the oozing purple blood returned to red, the teared flesh began repairing itself. Sins sclera and eyes returned to normal, panting and covered in sweat. Sin laid on the ground in extreme exhaustion. "I would beat you black and blue like I did everyone else if I weren''t so goddamn tired!" Sin managed to push these last words out of his mouth before he blacked out.
