'What was that just now?' I asked myself as I thought back to the aura that I sensed outside a while ago, it seemed familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time, I needed to do a little investigation in this town."What was the trump card?" Mei Ling asked with a frown curious to know."Oh sorry something came up so I have to leave now, it's of utmost importance so please forgive me, I'll finish the story tonight" I said quickly as I stood up then deactivated the barrier before motioning for the rest to follow me as we each booked rooms for ourselves."What!" Mei Ling said with anger as the suspense ate at her mind."System I need you to do a full scan of the town now" James said to the system immediately after entering his room, he erected a soundproof barrier around the room as he sat on his bed awaiting the system's response.[I can't do that]"What do you mean, 'I can't do that', huh?" James asked in confusion.[Me doing that would be considered as me helping you with the mission]"Oh
"Fuck I was so close, I was so freaking close" Shouwang cursed as he stared into the distance where the explosion had occurred."Let's go see what the fuck that is" Shouwang said with a sigh as he disappeared, some seconds after he did, a shadow suddenly separated from the others and gradually morphed into a human shape."Whew he's finally gone, I have to report back, there are intruders who might interrupt our plan" The shadow said as it took out an orb but then it suddenly discovered that it couldn't move, its core was also locked with chains that restricted it from using any attacks."Unfortunately you aren't going anywhere" A cold voice sounded as Shouwang appeared behind it."Did you think you could evade my senses, nice try but you're coming with me, and don't even think about burning your essence, as you can see, I've locked up your mana reserve" Shouwang smirked as he grabbed the shadow and slammed it face onto the ground causing it to fall unconscious."I've got one of them"
"So you aren't going to say anything huh?" I asked with a grin as I stood before our captive in the dimension space with the clones behind me."I would die before I say anything" The captive who was floating in the air, bonded by my mana."I knew you would say that, good thing I prepared something for you" I smirked as the scenery changed around us from the originally bright and lively environment to a dark and gloomy cliff."Someone like you would have done a lot of bad in your lifetime, you deserve to pay, I'll be back for you later" I said as I walked to the end of the life and looked down where a large sea of ghouls in a fire could be seen staring at us with crazed looks."Wait no wait stop arrrg…." The captive screamed as I threw him off the cliff into the sea of ghouls who screeched as he fell into them, immediately he fell into the sea, the ghouls grabbed him and bit his flesh and dragged him under."Helpppppp" The captive screamed in pain as he was dragged under them."He shou
"Who's Chronus?" Mei Ling asked as she stared at me, she felt like this was supposed to be a huge plot twist but upper hadn't even known who Chronus was."Typical, the way I planned this twist and for it to end up in failure, well forget it, you'll find out in due time, so the forces of evil got the upperhand blah blah, skip to the middle, so as the war went on, the victor was gradually becoming clear that was until the hidden dragons surfaced, a group of individuals with unique abilities, their power level unseen in history and they all shared one singular similarity" I paused as I took a sip of blood tea and bit into a huge chump of meat then swallowed."They all had a tattoo on their arm, a tattoo of a snake swallowing it's own tail, they came like a breeze swooping on the forces of evil leaving a blood trail, carnage followed as the mysterious organization made their name known to the world as 'Ourobourus led by the elusive leader 'Icemaster', a being only heard about in legends,
"Who are you and how did you get here?" Mr Luo asked with a frown as he spotted me."Wait I know you, you're friends with, Shòuwáng what are you doing here?" Luo Xiang asked with surprise."If you tell me everything you know about your benefactor, I'll heal you" I offered with a smile."Hey who do you think you are to be making offers, you should accept your punishment for intruding in someone's business" Mr Luo said with anger as he took out a sword and prepared to attack me but before he could make a move, he suddenly felt a crushing pressure which brought him to his knees, the funny thing was that it wasn't even me.'Restrain yourself, child, if you don't want to die' A cold and weak voice sounded in his mind which caused him to glance at me in shock."Venerable sir, please forgive my son's blatant attitude, he doesn't recognize your greatness, please If you could heal me, I wouldn't have any problem providing information but what if you…don't follow your word after I give you the
"Take care of the city, since you've recovered, it's your responsibility" I said to , Xiang Liang who nodded in response as he glanced at his two sons."Let's go, you have a whole lot of explanation to do" Xiang Liang said with a frown as he led his sons out of the room."Whew, that was tiring now, let's make a plan, they'll most definitely know about us plus we can't just trust what we saw in that guy's memories and rush into battle blindly, we have to take this carefully since they might have called for backup, if so then we might be facing stronger opponents, so what do you guys suggest?" I asked as the clones all sank back in thought, they knew that I was right."What if….."*******************************************************************"Get ready, we'll move out in some minutes" A black-cloaked man holding a staff that radiated a greenish-red hue said in a gruff voice."Where is our captive?" The cloaked man asked as another cloaked man led him to a large room where a girl
James watched as the ancestor floated to the ground, when he landed, the first thing he did was to turn to the cloaked saint as he observed his scared expression with disdain."A soldier, a true soldier, I extend my sincere apologies for the disturbance" The Cloaked Saint said respectfully with a bow."What urgent matter would require you to request my help, I have other matters to attend to" The Ancestor said with a look of annoyance, he was currently undergoing a mission when he received the distress call so he had to interrupt his mission and move over."Well, the thing is…""Oh hello ratface, so you're going to ignore us, what a douche" James said with a grunt."You impudent ant, a mere saint dares to speak to me like that" The ancestor said with anger, he was a breed between the silver-furred race and a human so he was always mocked because of his appearance but after gaining a certain amount of influence and strength, his appearance was gradually disregarded as the ones who previ
"Let the finals begin" James said calmly with a grin before rushing towards the ancestor who was supported by the lich king and its army of undead.FIRST SKILL OF THE FLAMING SWORD, LIGHTENING SLASHA replescendant wave of lightening spread out from the surface of the sword as it rushed towards the lich king who slammed its staff into the ground as a shield was quickly erected but could that block the first skill of the flaming sword with James who was at the saint realm using it to attack.SHRRRGThe sword passed through the shield like bread passing through butter, it then proceeded to move onward toward the lich unhindered but before it could get anywhere, a sword suddenly flew in front of the attack and struck it before being deflected."Hmm" James grunted as he stared at the floating sword, one major difference between the ancestor rank and the saint rank was the seemingly unlimited qi pool, to become an ancestor, one needed to create a qi ocean, the bigger the size, the more qi
