| ← Ch.027 | Ch.029 → |
Endrun's red eyes shined. Although the vampires were weak against spirit techniques, now that he himself had was only a spirit, he believed that he could help Xue Ren. But soon, that feeling disappeared. The figure that was slowly appearing had both spirit and energy. It was as if the physical body has entered Xue Ren's soul room...
'What the hell is going on?'
Soon, Xue Ren appeared in his soul room as well. He was breathing heavily and sweating a lot. Since this was his soul room, he had no wounds. His mind was simply exhausted... Now, both Xue Ren and Endrun stood next to each other. If one looked at them, one could notice a several similarities.
The dark energy moved freely. It was forming a humanoid figure. Xue Ren and Endrun both had no way of stopping this. With hopeless expresions, they could only look... When the shape finally formed, Endrun has stepped forward. Seeing this made Xue Ren's heart warm. Is that how it feels to have big brother? Anyway, it wasn't time to think about that...
The humanoid figure had the face of frog. It truly looked grotesque, but what was even more disgusting was its laugh...
"AHAHAHAHA!" The frog laughed!
"Another madman..." hearing Xue Ren's voice, the monster turned his big eyes to him...
"Boy, good job beating Li Rong like that. Even with my power, you have beaten him."
"What are you?" the young man ignored his 'congratulations' and immediately asked the most important question!
The humanoid frog seeing his impatient look smiled strangely. It was then, he finally noticed Endrun.
'Is that remnant of soul?' There were a clans or families or another forces that passed down remnants of souls of their ancestors in order to help and lead the younger generations. Such assumption wasn't bad at all, even though it was wrong here.
"What am I? Hah! I am sin! Sin of Greed, Avaritia!" the monster proudly declared!
"Sin?"
"The higher existence! The existence that goes against divinity! Since we are sins, we live by using other living beings, the hosts! We use each other to grow. It's fair contract, don't you think?"
"..." The monster talked loudly and did his best to be very convincing. But Xue Ren ignored him...
"Accept me and you will get another power. The power to stand at the top!"
The frog mouth never stopped. Did he really believe that Xue Ren would simply accept him? The young man knew that this monster was strong. He saw his power on Li Rong, and if it could grow to the level of Divinity... 'Wait, grow?' Xue Ren thought...
"I see, so the potential of Li Rong is already done. You can't use him to grow, right?" Xue Ren smirked. He knew that he guessed properly by looking at the frog's face.
"So what? Your potential is on whole another level. We can have a long contract and then, we will simply part ways." his voice was imbued with energy. It was invisible, but Xue Ren could feel it had effects similiar to dark energy. It was greed... Xue Ren's emotions got shaken. But then, he remembered how disgusting was Li Rong when they had fought. 'I want this, I want that' The young master wanted everything... It was truly disgusting sight...
"Fuck you and your contract." Xue Ren refused him! He didn't let the greed overcome him. Was it because of the fight he had or his will has become stronger in such dire situation? Anyway, he refused! Such words of course made the monster angry, but he didn't show it.
"Well, it's either contract or your demise. I will absorb your energy and then use that girl."
"!"
"That's how it is, boy." Avaritia said as he jumped. Endrun moved first as he blocked the monster. His hand was covered in red glove, but he was still...
"Mere remnant of soul! You can only guide and lead!" the frog roared! He shook the vampire off as he sent him flying!
"Endrun!"
"Tsk! I can't do much here..." Endrun grumbled!
Xue Ren seeing the situation knew that if he doesn't do something, they will die...
'What can I do? Sins that can go against divinity... Divinity!'
The young man moved his eyes to the Divine Gates. They were right behind the monster. Avaritia didn't pay any attention to them as if he didn't notice them. Xue Ren focused his eyes on the gates, his eyes slowly became violet pink. The gates opened a little and the furious divine energy roamed throughout the soul room!
"Impossible! Divine energy?!" Avaritia shouted, but soon calmed down. Although Xue Ren used the divine energy, it was young and low.
"Ahahahaha! You can forget about the second chance! No more contract choice for you!"
"I already said fuck your contract!"
"Ahahah! Sins are existences that go against the Divinity! No wonder you have made such choice! I can't have divinity as a host."
"I didn't even think about this when I said my answer, you fucktard!" Xue Ren roared! The divine energy has healed his mind. But then, how does he use this energy to attack? 'Sex God...' He can possess any energy he conquers or devours... he has all nature attributes...
'If it's like that then!' Xue Ren decided to use one of his favorites. The fire arms! He has added the divine energy and... the dark violet flame with pink hue has appeared!
"Alright!" he was ready! Then, the Avaritia arrived before him! The dark and divine energy clashed before they caught their fists! But, holding the sin's fists, Xue Ren knew that he was on losing side as he was slowly being pushed down...
'Am I going to die? No!' it was time to unleash everything. He released the divine energy of Sho Yue and the little silver color appeared inside the flames! The blazing arms burned the monster's skin... but Avaritia was looking at him with sneer... Soon, Xue Ren could feel tremendous pain in his hands...
'It's not enough... I...' Xue Ren truly didn't know what to do... his emotions were in turmoil... then he could hear his voice inside his head saying some absurd things...
"Abandon your purpose of getting strength, abandon your woman, abandon yourself and I will save you..."
