Chapter 16: I'm just getting started
“Sister Klara, do we have to invite this sinister sect to the ceremony?”
At the moment a group of six people was dressed in silver and yellow uniforms and their flying swords soaring through the air. The group had three boys and three girls.
The prettiest red-haired girl in the group was flying in front leading the group and when her junior sister asked the question, she nodded.
“Even though they use immoral techniques to cultivate, they are still a sect and we are obligated to invite them”
If Gaya was here, she would identify them by looking at their uniforms. The six of them belonged to the renowned Morning Start sect of Bredia.
Another pretty and sweet looking girl in the group looked at the redhaired girl and spoke out softy
“Why do we have to do this? Wasn’t this Orion’s responsibility?”
“Apparently someone was dumb enough to take a quest from the guild that Orion was looking to complete, so he was searching for that fool all over the river town”
“Oh?”
The girl sounded surprised hearing the boy beside her.
“Who was he? Which sect he belongs to?”
“Sect? hmph”
The boy snickered
“He was a rogue cultivator according to the guild and hear this, he is only a foundation level cultivator”
All the students present were astonished.
Within this Bredia Kingdom, nobody had ever raised a finger against them let alone taking their quest. Besides, this person was only at the foundation level.
“I think he must have come from another kingdom, but it doesn’t matter now, when Orion gets his hands on him, he’s dead”
The three boys’ faces were filled with smiles as the girl frowned and moved near to Klara.
“Sister Klara, can you do something? He was obviously made a mistake by taking Orion’s quest”
Kalra glared back at the girl and shrugged
“With his puny cultivation level, he shouldn’t even go to the guild yet, not only he did go there but also took the quest without Orion’s permission, it seems he has more arrogant than Orion, so we should let him learn his lesson “
“But sister Klara?”
If he wasn’t from Bredia, I’ll tell Orion to leave him alive after he finishes punishing him, okay?”
“Why are you trying to defend that fool?”
The girl showed the boys a wry smile and sighed
“I just don’t want anyone to get killed over some minor mistake, that’s all”
“Shhh, we have entered the sect’s premises”
Klara looked at the empty ground in the middle of the forest and motioned them to shut up.
The minute Klara and the group landed, more than 10 shadows emerged out of the thick forest and greeted them.
“Welcome, welcome to the blood and bones everyone”
An old man in ragged clothing was leading a group of elders of the sect.
Their hair was disheveled as their bodies reeked of alcohol and at one glance, they looked nothing more than drunk beggars.
The two girls behind Klara tried their hardest not to twitch their noses due to the stink as the boys stared at them with an awkward expression.
“Sect Master Ralphy, we are here to give you the invitation to the annual bright light ceremony”
Klara took out a gold tablet from her space ring and handed it over to the old man.
the old man took the tablet from her hand before wriggling his nose and taking a deep breath, his face exuded a look of pleasure. Klara felt extremely disgusted looking at the lust in their eyes but kept her calm demeanor.
After a few breaths, he licked his lips and looked at the elders, speaking in a deep voice
“Go to the next village nearby and get our protection fee, we can’t attend the ceremony without gifts in our hands”
The two old men behind him trembled and hurriedly replied,
“Of course sect master Ralphy, we’ll gather some disciples and collect the fee before the dawn”
Seeing the elders turn to leave the place after giving them a weird look, the girls stomached their disgust and waited for Klara to get the heck out of here.
“Good”
Having said that, the old man laughed but when the elders were about to leave, the girls and boys saw a person wearing full black robes stepping out of the forest and entering the empty ground.
Looking at the direction the disciples were staring, the old man turned around to see a youth walking towards them.
He asked the Morning Star sect disciples, “Do you know him?”
The disciples shook their heads cluelessly as Klara’s brows furrowed when she saw the youth’s cultivation level.
The Oldman’s expression turned cold as he smiled at the youth, killing intent radiated out from his eyes. He then waved a hand and instructed the elders, casting his glance at the youth in front of them. In a few seconds, Klara and the group saw ten disciples of the blood and bone sect who wore blood-red robes appear on the empty ground and surround the black-robed youth.
Ralphy directed his glance towards the youth and laughed coldly
“You have some guts to trespass into the blood and bone sect, brat, do you have a death wish or something, why are you here?”
“I’m here to send all of you to hell”
Master Song puckered his eyebrows as the elders opened their mouths in shock.
At the same time, the group of Klara had curious and suspicious expressions on their faces as well.
One of the girls asked quietly, “Sister Klara, who is he? Where did he come from?”
The few of them looked at each other before shaking their heads, “I’ve no idea but he seems to be mad, walking here with his foundation level cultivation”
The few of them were thrown into a hushed discussion as they occasionally glanced at the black-robed youth, each with their own thoughts formed of him.
“Since you’re so adamant in dying, let me grant your wish?”
A muscle mountain blocked Micheal’s way with a wicked smile. His biceps were bulging out holding a six feet heavy golden ax.
“Shit human, he must be eating entire boars and buffalos for breakfast”
Compared to the muscle mountain before him, he looked like a little lamb.
Pulch
But suddenly the bulky man’s eyes widened as he dropped his big ax on the ground. A few seconds after, he too dropped on his knee and the students around him saw a black knife sticking out of his heart as blood was oozing out of the wound. When he retrieved the knife, he kicked the ax as the huge ax landed in his hand.
[Ding! Congrats to the host for killing a Body refining stage, level 6 cultivator. The reward is 4500 experience points as well as 200 Badass points]
Indeed, for a moment, all of them were astonished as Klara’s group froze in their places.
They watched on with gaping mouths as Micheal transformed himself into a bolt of lightning and charged straight at the group of Blood and bone Sect disciples who were surrounding him fearlessly.
Pulch Pulch Pulch
They couldn’t see Micheal’s body and the only thing they could, was the lightning bolt in the middle of the group. Every time the bolt of lightning came near a disciple, hot blood splashed onto the ground.
In a few seconds, they witnessed Micheal stop his steps as the disciples whole were surrounding him a moment ago was now laying on a puddle of their own blood.
The 6 of them from the Morning Star sect were dumbfounded as their faces were full of shock.
Just in a mere moment, he was able to do this?
“They…they are…moving”
The pretty girl behind Klara pointed at the disciples and said as everyone looked closer at the disciples.
All of their legs were cut or chopped off in a most horrible way, the broken bones were sticking out of their legs and made the girls nauseated.
“BASTARD!!!”
Ralphy’s anger erupted within him like a volcano as his scream echoed through the forest and chased away all the birds resting in there.
In that instant, even without needing Ralphy to shout at them, the Blood and bone Sect disciples rushed towards Micheal with faces of evident rage.
“Chop them off, human”
With his blood dripping ax on the shoulder, Micheal stood there with an evil smile and waved at them to attack him together.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 100 badass points]
“Ignitia”
He fired lightning bolts from his one hand at the weaker disciples.
“AH!”
The lightning bolt was aimed at their legs and the lightning bolt completely burned their flesh as the bones started to become visible.
“Lightning dash”
Before the stronger disciples cast a shield spell, he again turned into a bolt of lightning and dashed at them.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, he appeared behind a single cultivator who was trying to attack him. A wicked smile appeared on his face as he asked, “I’m behind you?”
“Ah” The disciple’s eyes gaped wide open as if he had just seen a ghost and was in a state of panic.
In a flash, Micheal brought the wrath of the ax down upon him, chopping his two legs completely off of his body and sent the limbs flying towards the elders.
Soon after, the lightning arcs beneath his feet seemed to jolt and dance like streaks of lightning in the sky.
He then turned to the next disciple.
“I’m just getting started”
