Flame is bubbling out from beneath the ground like a volcano that suddenly erupted, the three duo jumped to the trees to take shelter from the flame
Barett> hey are you crazy what kind of sick psycho uses fire in a forest, at this rate you are going to burn everything down
Gelios> I am not as crazy as you guys trying to change a world's tradition
Paton> what tradition are you talking about exactly, at least we need to know what we did wrong to warrant you barging into our base and wrecking havoc in it
Gelios> I have nothing to explain to you all like I said I will do the interrogation after I subdue you all
Barett> big bro do not stress yourself, there is no use in reasoning with a psychopath, he says we are destroying tradition while he his trying to destroy an entire eco system and does not see anything wrong in that
Gelios> the forest will grow back by itself but traditions can be forgotten when neglected
Paton> I did not want to resort to this but you leave us no choice, Barett, Rai you have permission to go all out on him
Barett> nice one big bro, we should have done this from the beginning, "Metal Body"
Rai>" Shadow Ego Duplication"
Seeing as how his whole body turned to metal means his defense has increased exponentially, his speed should also decrease with a body like that, there might be other benefits to the skill apart from his appearance but I could care less about that because metal is significantly weak against fire I mean how stupid can he be to not realize that and the shadow ego duplication is a skill that splits the user in two, no that is not right not only is there two ninja their mana is now half of what the original has, in a way it is different from ordinary clone technique that just creates a copy of the user and am guessing the duplication also has a mind of its own unlike a copy that is unable to think for itself.
The iron guy jumps down from the tree he was hanging on, the spot he landed on sunk deep splashing away the lava fire that was there, he then runs towards me "so the metal is able to endure the flame", the ninja guy also comes at me with his duplicate in a zig zag way while running on the lava ground.
Gelios> enough of this squabbling, I will end this now "Flame Storm"
An fire cloud that covers the entire forest appears in the sky bringing about multiple fire tornado, the ninja guy and the metal guy stopped in their tracks when they saw the sky suddenly go red
Gelios> welcome to my realm "Flame Sword"
Fire sword started falling from the fire cloud burning down the forest before making contact with it.
When the smoke started clearing away I searched for their bodies and surprisingly enough they were all still alive with the metal guy and the ninja passed out while the sowed user is still awake, laying on the ground with some parts of their body covered in burnt bruises, I move to the leader and lifted his head up
Gelios> now I can begin the interrogation
Paton> please whoever you are enough is enough please stop this madness, what exactly did we do to deserve a fate like this
Gelios> let us start with how you created the hybrids
Paton> what hybrid are you talking about, we have created nothing
Gelios> do not lie to me I saw them, your fellow bandits lackey with spiritual root also having a mana core and I know it is you guys, in a world with no mana, i want every details about how they got to have a mana core
Paton> you are talking about our subordinates, they were born with the mana core but unable to use it since there is no mana, we allowed them to enter the Dungeon, even though they have spiritual roots they are unable to cultivate with it since it is of the lowest grade spiritual root, it is unable to absorb even the smallest of Qi, they are know as defects in the society so we brought them under us and trained them in the Dungeon to make them be able to stand high in society
Gelios> born with it? dungeon? What nonsense are you spouting right now, how can they be born with a mana core and what about a Dungeon that has mana
Paton> the tutorial dungeon, do you not know about it
Gelios> I would not be asking if I know about a Dungeon like that now would I
Paton> how can that be, every player in this world is able to manifest a Dungeon of their own to use it in developing the people of this world as a player
So there are indeed other players, I Was hoping there would not be but turns out I was not the only one that Transmigrated into this world, still I should inquire about the number of players that Transmigrated and this dungeon stuff as well why am I the only one who cannot use it
Gelios> do you have the knowledge of how many players Transmigrated into this world
Paton> as far as I know, all the players in LASK are here, when we first came to this world we were wary of the people but after a while we were able to coexist with them and there are some players that ended up marrying in this world, the result of that marriage is the defects, they are born with both spiritual root and mana core but are more adaptable to mana
What is this, what exactly happened in the past hundreds of years I have been in isolation
Gelios> so why are you working as a bandit and extorting the people "hey?!!!!!, he fainted
What should I do now, it is not really their fault the hybrids came to be infact they helped them," ahhhh" stupid me how could I overreact like that without even finding out the details first, this is really not cool of me, in this way I am no different from the players I harbor hatred for. I was initially going to kill them before but now I cannot bring my self to do it, but what should I do their entire base is up in smoke, yeah I really owe them big time so with that I mind I am going to make it up to them, besides I still have a lot of questions to ask them so it would be a pain if they were to die from pain
"urhhuh", what happened where am I, "ahhhh" it hurts like hell, my whole body is in pain, how did I become like this, I should retrace my memories to remember what really happened, yes let me see the last thing I remember is me and my brothers fighting against a boy that claims he his a player, after beating us to into a death like state he started asking questions about players that is all I can remember, I should open my eyes to survey my surroundings ah but it hurts, moving even a muscle of any parts of my body hurts like hell but I have to endure it, slowly yes I can do this, "uhh" a white porcelain roof and this fluffy feeling underneath am I in a room "oh you are awake, your endurance is top notch you know that", who said that is it from my left, alright I will slowly move my eyes to the left "you have still got a lot of healing to do so do not stress your body too much", Holy is that an angel wait maybe I really did die after all it is not possible for a human to be that beauti
Gelios> hey when you say die you mean metaphorically rightPaton> no I mean realistically, you should know that right now your body is like a walking time bomb and the moment your soul gets disconnected from your water tank it will rampage to its heart desires until you die, but you should know that your time of death will depend mostly on how much mana you have to rampage withGelios> what do I have to do to start the synchronization trialPaton> no idea, it randomly appears and no one knows the condition for activating it, all we know is the word system gives us a notification for when the trial begins and when we complete it the word system goes away as wellGelios> word system I have not heard about that yet, damn it why is there so much I do not know about, it is like I am not being treated as a playerRai> it might be because you are not active enough in society, we are all folks who live with the humans of this world but according to what you said about being in isolation from
Meng Jia unlocks the room and barges in abruptly without any concern for who is insideMeng Jia> hey Guo Zhelan get your ass up we have some investigating to carry outGuo Zhelan the second elder of the lightning sword Sect rises from his bed and stretches his bodyGuo Zhelan> you know there is a thing called knocking rightMeng Jia> we have no time for that now, get dressed and meet me outsideGuo Zhelan> hey what is the rush if there is an emergency then leave it to the core disciples that is what they are there forMeng Jia> this is something beyond them, if we send them out they might dieGuo Zhelan> is it that seriousMeng Jia> I am not really sure since I am unable to rate the energy I felt but I know for sure that it is not something we should underestimateGuo Zhelan> hmm alright I will be with you in a minute thenPaton> I do not understand, how exactly is a Sect supposed to help you in activating the trialGelios> if my lack of communication really is what delayed my trial t
When I took the three brothers to my weapon storage they beamed with excitement, it is to be expected after all in LASK there are players who are willing to betray their long time partner in exchange for a good weapon, there are also those willing to offer anything they can all just to get close to a blacksmith class player so seeing my weapon collection would definitely freak out a lot of players considering how rare such weapons would be in this world.I told the three brothers to select any weapons of their choice as a form of atonement and also a bribe, leaving them to their choices I headed to town to recruit my disciples, since I have been there once I am able to use teleportation to go anytime I see fit.I already said I was not going to recruit any young master as my disciple, what I am going for is the less privilege, no matter what world it is there will always be those like that and my aim is to bring such folks under me it would be really fun watching them grow but the pro
Guo Zhelan> hey what are you doing right now, how can you just attack someone else's houseMeng Jia> am trying to force out the perpetratorGuo Zhelan> ohh and you did not consider what reaction they would give if they see their house destroyedMeng Jia> then what should I have doneGuo Zhelan> well for one how about just going there to askMeng Jia> are you stupid, who knows what evil intents they harbor, if I do not strike first then I will be the one on the receiving end of itGuo Zhelan> "sigh" there is no winning an argument against you is there"boom"Guo Zhelan> "what" the" did you hold backMeng Jia> I did notGuo Zhelan> then why is the house not destroyedGelios> well that is because there is a barrier protecting it from any physical attacksGuo Zhelan> what barrier are you talki "uhhhh"The two moved away from their initial position as they heard the voice that answered their question, in that place stands a boy with his arms folded against each other and looking relaxedGu
Guo Zhelan> so what you are saying is you are all from a World entirely different from this one and instead of Qi you make use of Mana is that itGelios> yes in the simplest form,After the commotion outside I managed to make peace with the unexpected guests and invited them into the house to explain my origin but I am surprised to see they know nothing about players or manaGelios> hey Paton what is going on here, did you not say players have become the norms of society if so why do this people not know anything about Mana and PlayersPaton> I did say that but cultivators are different, they cannot really be classified as a part of the society since they live above it and they rarely associate with the people below ground except for recruitment day when they want to scout for talented disciples or when something that can aid in their cultivation is located below grounds, those two reasons are mainly why cultivators involve themselves with society, the only cultivators you will see am
Meng Jia> looking down on me because he got lucky, do not for once think I will go easy on youMeng Jia fell prey to my taunt as she agreed to fight Avina and like I promised I brought them to the training room which wowed them a lot especially the two cultivators.Paton> hey are you really sure about this, you might have outdone her does not mean you should underestimate her, her cultivation base is two times higher than Avina, she is a Martial God while Avina is a Martial Monarch the difference is not something that should be glossed overGelios> not to worry everything is going to be fine, infact I am glad it ended in a situation like thisBarrett> what are you talking about, do you not care about the pretty miss at allGelios> what do you mean not care, Avina is the number one person I care about most in this world, she is like my second heart and I would go to any lengths to make her feel satisfiedRai> if that is true then why are you letting her fight against someone of a highe
Avina> "Mystic Art First Form Force Push"The tip of the sword was only a pinch away from Avina's neck when suddenly Meng Jia was sent flying away, Meng Jia instantly reacted by crossing her two hands together in a defensive form, her back hit the wall and she fell to the floorGuo Zhelan> what technique was that, I have never heard of it beforePaton> same here it is not a skill used by playersGelios> it is a skill created by her, she manipulates the surrounding energy to her favor and what she did right now is coat herself in that energy then when the opponent made contact with her the force acted like some kind of polar magnet causing her to be blown away, honestly I do not fully understand the scope of the ability all I know is it is a very powerful and unique ability that is limited only to her, I tried copying it once and I failed, in the end what I used was just brute force and not the ability.Guo Zhelan> created a skill? My admiration for her is soaring high "that is if it i
