Setting Off At the transport centre, Jacob and Jason met up with the other Heaven's Chosens, preparing to head to Dustwind Village. "Alright, Weapon choosing time's up, time to head to the Village", an Awakened of the White Hunters Guild announced."These buses have been provided for your transport, Group A in the first one, and Group B in the second bus", the Awakened directed.Jacob and Jason headed towards the bus designated for their group, Lucy following behind them."Why are there two buses??, the space in a single bus is enough", Jason asked, confused"Maybe to facilitate easy communication between teammates", Lucy said, taking her sit behind Jacob and Jason. "Alright, strap in, we're moving", the Awakened in charge of their transportation instructed, as their bus jerked, heading towards the Village, the Group A bus leading. The journey to Dustwind Village was long, four hours of driving through rough terrain. The journey was mainly uneventful, except for the time a Split H

Hypocrites Jacob and Stephen were stunned, for in front of them was a haggard looking man, who was dragging a rusty looking axe across the floor. The man seemed to not have noticed the kicking open of the door, because he still kept moving in a circle, dragging the axe. Upon closer inspection, Jacob and Stephen noticed that there was a sign of dried blood on the axe. Looking closely at the man, his eyes seemed dead; as if he was no longer human, but a living dead instead. Jacob and Stephen were beginning to wonder whether the man was dead or alive, so Stephen asked Jacob to remove his Shadow, revealing their presence. Almost immediately, the man's head jerked up, looking at them with gray, dead eyes. Snarling, the man raised the axe as he rushed towards Jacob and Stephen. Jacob reacted quickly, as he quickly raised his hand, activating his Telekinesis. Beside Jacob, Stephen's eyes took on a green glow as he attempted to glimpse into the future. Gasping, he shouted, "Jacob, No!!". B

Sword Girl Mocking the Heaven's Chosens, Lucas took out his dagger as he plunged it into the man's head, killing him. Taking out his dagger, Lucas summoned a Fireball as he burned the man's corpse.Walking back to his shelter, Jacob sighed as he replayed what Lucas said in his mind. Lucas was right, even though the man had already become a Living Dead, they all knew that the man was just someone who was unlucky enough to fall into the hands of whatever was controlling them. None of them wanted to get their hands bloody, although they had already condemned the man to death in their hearts.'We are all truly hypocrites', Jacob thought. ♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧Night Time.After the episode with the man, the girls in both groups went in search of a river, claiming that they needed a nice bathe.The guys in both groups bunched together, in front of a fire, as they chatted."Were you disappointed??", Jason asked Jacob as they both sat in a corner, watching the fire.Confused, Jacob frowned as he asked;

Katerina Opening his eyes and seeing the girl, Jacob sighed, hoping that the girl would not enter into her demonic form again."Big Brother, I have something to give you", the girl announced, smiling."How have you been??", Jacob asked, he didn't think that the girl could offer him anything useful."Not as lonely as I used to be; I've regained some of my memories. I can use the Sword to see what's happening in the outside world; So I'm not as lonely as I used to", the girl said."So, you saw my fight with that man??", Jacob asked"That is the reason I called you here; your battle with that Undead was embarrassing, to say the least", the girl said bluntly."Undead??", Jacob said, deciding not to get angry at his battle being called embarrassing; after all, he still wanted to live. "Yes, an Undead. An Undead is a humanoid Demon summoned from the dead either by Necromancers or powerful Curse Magicians. They harbour hatred from their past life and see humans as preys.

Sword Moves Seeing the palace emerging from the ground, Jacob sucked in a cold breath of air as he thought; 'There's a palace in this place??'. Jacob was beginning to seriously wonder about the mysteriousness of Demonic Star; It even had a palace in it."Welcome to the palace of the Sword Emperor", Katerina announced. "Who's the Sword Emperor??", Jacob asked as Katerina sighed as she answered; "I don't remember, my memories are still coming back bit by bit"'The Sword Emperor might be the Ancient Primordial God that made the Demonic Star', Jacob thought, as he used his system to scan the palace.**Sword Emperor Palace (Unoccupied) The palace where the Sword Emperor placed all his inheritances, in search of a successor It has been unoccupied for two million years, staying buried under ground Host has a high chance of being the successor of the Sword Emperor**________________________Seeing the notification, Jacob was surprised; the Sword Emperor had all his inheritances here??.

Seven Steps of the Swift Assassin Seeing the notification from the system, Jacob was suprised; the system could be used this way??, it was too overpowered.'Learn the Skill', Jacob answered in his mind. Instantly, Jacob felt knowledge of the use of swords entering his mind, almost knocking him out. Shifting his gaze towards the puppet, Jacob found it standing a certain distance from him, holding the Sword in a particular stance. Realising that the puppet would not do anything unless attacked, Jacob sat on the floor, closing his eyes while digesting the information from the Sword Skill.'System, display information about the Sword Skill'**Seven Steps of the Swift Assassin A skill the Sword Emperor got from an enemy he slayed The skill is an accumulative type skill Seven Steps is all that's needed to slash a scar in the Universe The skill requires host to take a total of seven steps to unleash maximum damage The rate of damage depends on host's skill The skill can be used at any
Monster Hunters Chapter Twenty Six
First DayTwo days later. Jacob opened his eyes, but he didn't get a breakthrough notification this time. Clenching his fists, Jacob knew that, although he was still in the Intermediate Level, just a little more effort was needed, and he would breakthrough to the Advanced Level, where he would be able to take six steps. Standing up, Jacob looked at the puppet standing nearby, as he wondered how it was being powered. "I have to go out now. But I'll be back, I'll still smash you up, Tin Head", Jacob said, feeling foolish for talking to an automated puppet. Focusing his perception, Jacob thought about exiting the Scroll Space as he stepped out, finally leaving the Scroll. Looking around, he was suprised to find Katerina at the same place he left her; except, she was currently sleeping on the marble floor, sprawled around like a sleeping kid. Jacob suddenly felt bad seeing that; Katerina waited for him in that same spot he left her, even falling asleep on the ground, for seven days. Si

Enlightenment Stepping out of the shelter, they headed towards the Village, ready to unravel the mystery of the Undead. Stephen walked at the forefront, using his Super Vision to scout for danger, Jason and Lucy in the middle, while Tony and Jacob stayed at the back. The atmosphere was tense, with each of them moving cautiously, ready to act at any moment; except for Jacob. He was walking casually, hands in pocket and his eyes half closed.Although Jacob seemed to be moving casually, in reality, he wasn't, for in front of him was a blue screen and on it was the Scroll he acquired from the Sword Emperor's palace; he was trying to comprehend more but, no matter how many times he tried, Jacob couldn't comprehend any further. Realising that he had hit what cultivators in the novels he read called Bottleneck, Jacob no longer wasted time on comprehending; he needed combat.Dismissing the blue screen, Jacob looked up, just in time to see Stephen raising his left hand, signalling for them t
