“Dammit, I've been walking for so long,” Oasis thought as he moved through the endless passage."I've met myself a dozen times, but it doesn’t end," he mused, feeling a blend of frustration and determination.Oasis kept moving forward, not knowing how long he had been walking or how many trials he had passed. Yet, his resolve had not wavered."Huh! Another me. Let's get this over with," Oasis muttered, spotting another version of himself in the endless passage and rushing toward him without hesitation.His other version evaded the attack, leaving afterimages behind and a trail of blue flames.“Dancing Phoenix!” Oasis thought, recognizing the technique. "This is me when I entered this passage. I’m certain of it."“Dammit, it means we are equal in strength. This trial doesn’t end. What am I doing wrong?” Oasis wondered, recalling all the versions of himself he had fought and defeated after reaching this place.Oasis and his other version fought on equal footing, exchanging blows and usi
Oasis opened the door and found himself in the same hallway with three doors and the main door that led outside.He glanced at the other doors, shook his head, and made his way to the main door. Without wasting time, he opened it and stepped outside.The moon glowed in Tir na Nog as he passed the guardian statues.The bodies that were there when he entered were nowhere to be seen, presumably eaten by mystic beasts."Phew, finally fresh air," Oasis said, smiling with relief.He recalled Fenris's words: "Never forget you are still a child and you have many years to live, young one. Enjoy your life to the fullest and make the best memories.""Don’t forget the reason for seeking to be strong, and don’t hold back pain as young as you are. Don’t hesitate to destroy those who seek to destroy you and those who stand in your way.""Your killing intent was made from killing mystic beasts, but you have never yet killed a human like yourself. In this place, you won’t be able to run from such fate
The group stepped forward, grinning. "Was it you trying to scare us?" one of them asked.Aya tugged on Oasis again. "Are they bad guys?" she asked."Yeah, they are," Oasis replied, sensing their killing intent. "Just stay behind me, and you will be fine.""She will be fine, huh?" one of the men mocked, and the rest of them laughed."Playing hero, are we? You court death, little brat," another man raised his voice."Leave him to me," one of the men said, jumping toward Oasis with a menacing glare."Fire magic: Phoenix Blaze," Oasis whispered. A burst of blue flames erupted from his hands, engulfing the attacker.The man's screams were short-lived as he was incinerated into ashes, which crumbled to the ground.Aya's eyes widened in awe."That's Phoenix Blaze," she thought, "but big brother's fire is blue. Little me doesn't know blue fire.""How dare you kill my brother!" one of the remaining men roared, charging at Oasis in a fury."Don't! Let's regroup," the other man warned him, but i
Oasis was shocked to hear Aya’s identity as a Volacris from Phoenix's Peak, the very place Azura had told him about, saying his family originated there."What's wrong, big brother?" Aya asked, noticing his thoughtful expression."Nothing, Aya," Oasis replied, trying to stay calm."I'm not surprised. You've heard about my great family, right? No one messes with Phoenix Peak," Aya boasted."Big brother, what should I call you?" she asked."I'm Oasis," he said."Just Oasis?" Aya questioned."Ahh, Oasis Volacris," he said, testing her reaction."Haha, big brother can joke," Aya laughed."I'm kidding. I'm Oasis Bluemoon, from the Bluemoon family in Verdantia," he clarified, regaining his composure."Good thing she thought I was joking. Better to keep it this way," Oasis thought, recalling Azura’s words: "Do not return to Avaloria until you get stronger."He realized it was better not to disclose his true identity. Aya might tell her family, revealing his whereabouts, and he was unsure of t
The woman chuckled, her expression turning predatory."Kids, just hand over what you have, and this aunt won't use force," she spoke, her voice dripping with false sweetness."Handsome, give me your treasure and this aunt will give you a good time," she said, pouting in a seductive manner."Eew!" Aya grimaced, clearly disgusted by the woman's behavior."Damn this kid," the woman thought, her facade slipping slightly as she masked her irritation."I'm sorry, aunt, but I'm not interested in used goods," Oasis replied coolly.The woman's eyes flashed with anger, and she released a menacing aura and killing intent."Kill these brats!" she commanded her henchmen.Out of the nine henchmen, only two moved toward Aya and Oasis, smirking and laughing sinisterly as they approached. It was evident they were underestimating them."Ki ki ki, don't make a move, kids, and this uncle will finish it painlessly," one of the men spoke."Kill the boy, and we'll play with the girl first," the other said,
Huff!! Huff!! Huff!!Oasis breathed heavily after his attack, exhausted from unleashing his technique."That's the most powerful technique I can use for now," Oasis thought as he struggled to catch his breath.Oasis stood panting, the heat of his attack lingering in the air. The battle had been fierce, but he had prevailed. He turned to Aya, who looked at him with wide eyes."Big brother Oasis, that was amazing!" Aya exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with admiration.Oasis smiled weakly, sheathing his sword. "Thanks, Aya."!!!!"Time to use Kara's equipment," Oasis thought as he put on the gloves and the waist belt made by Kara for his sheathless sword.He then secured his sword on the waist belt.The woman's scythe and her storage bracelet lay near her ashes.Oasis picked up both items, along with the storage bracelets from the other fallen enemies, and placed them in his own storage bracelet."Aya, let's get moving," Oasis said, turning to her."Yes, big brother," Aya replied, still fee
Oasis navigated through his conscious realm via his spiritual avatar, searching for the source of Azura's energy.His conscious realm was a peaceful place with beautiful mountain peaks and waterfalls flowing, with the big blue flames nourishing it.Oasis could now accurately sense Azura's energy near the big flame.As he approached the flame, he saw, just at its root, Azura's spirit essence trapped and being nourished by the flames slowly. It was a sight to behold."What does this mean?" Oasis thought. "Can Azura be reborn, or can I absorb that?""I thought Azura's remnant had dissipated," Oasis questioned himself.After a few hours, he exited his conscious realm, concluding his cultivation. The area frequently shook from the battle a distance away."Wow, she is sleeping peacefully despite the commotion outside," Oasis thought as he looked at Aya, who was sleeping peacefully.Maybe she slept this peacefully because she felt safe around Oasis, or it was just the way she was. Oasis slig
The battle raged on as the remaining man held his own against the salamander, his rage evident as he realized his mate had been killed.If he also lost concentration, it meant death for him as well.Oasis stood near the entrance, watching the fight, looking for a way to join."Since they are here, it means the Salamander Heart Lotus is here," Oasis thought as he looked around, realizing the lotus must be behind the salamander.!!!"Oh, are those fire mana stones?" Oasis thought as he saw fire mana stones everywhere around the cave.The battle raged on, Oasis looking lost in the cave, while on the other side, the man was suffering against the salamander."Damn brat," the man thought in frustration.Oasis took off the weight equipment he was wearing, leaving a pit in the ground.!!!"Who is this brat?" the man thought as he defended against the salamander. He was using a sword technique, evident to Oasis that he was a martial artist."Wow, I feel lighter now," Oasis thought as he took h
