Mystical Journey

Chapter 1014: Scarlet Snow Planet 2

He needed to choose one that suited him best and cost less than a thousand points.

His options were limited. Since Garen tends to lean towards offensive techniques, the best defense as to not defend at all. In fact, he would just have to kill his enemies and defend would be meaningless if there were no enemies attacking him.

This was his philosophy. As he had walked the path of Secret Techniques and Killing Moves, he had gotten used to its style and hence he had taken a liking for confronting his opponents directly. However, it was clear that his Killing Move wasn’t strong enough from the previous battle.

It was this!

An offensive technique appeared right in front of Garen’s eyes.

‘Demon’s Blade: Level Five Ice Series Technique. 1,000 points required.’

The techniques inside consisted of protecting and training one’s body on the surface. However, in reality, these training techniques were far less inferior than the Scarlet Snow Technique’s. Hence, even though it was called a technique, by definition it should be called Killing Moves. They were a set of Killing Moves.

Techniques and skills should be separated. Killing Moves with different skills would produce different results. Similarly, a sword technique with different inner qi would produce a different effect as well.

These Killing Moves could be used with the Scarlet Snow Technique at its foundation.

The Demon’s Blade was a simple Killing Move used to kill people. At its strongest, it was at the level of a Resonance’s New Moon. That was the pure strength after mastering the technique. However, its uniqueness wasn’t its power but its ability to released three slashes consecutively within a short amount of time. Furthermore, the power and range would double with each slash. With three consecutive slashes, he could release thrice its power up to hundreds of meters. Naturally, its activation requirement was very restricted.

Garen started reading the activation requirement in detail.

It had a great strain on physical capabilities as the user would suffer an internal injury with each slash. It was the reason why those at Resonance Level didn’t dare to train this Killing Moves.

Garen contacted the information system to inquire more about this sword technique. He then purchased it without hassle.

The information system showed that this technique had killed three of its Resonance Level Energy Machinists practitioner. It was because they had used two slashes within one hour, causing them to die from having too little spiritual energy left. Naturally, its’ power was extremely strong.

However, Garen was very confident in his Vitality and recovery rate hence he wasn’t too concerned about it.

Unfortunately, as he browsed other markings, he found out that there were unique training regimes for footwork, simple techniques which stimulate potential and techniques similar to his tyrannous days. There were even techniques in changing physical appearances and improving eyesight. Each and every powerful Killing Moves was arranged here in sequence.

“It’s time to go back. It’s unfortunate that I do not have many points…” Garen sighed.

However, the Demon’s Blade Killing Moves should be a good pick up for him.

************

A few days later…

A shadow figure passed through the forest at great speed. It was a huge, red python as thick as an arm. The snake flicked its tongue non-stop as it stared coldly at a man in white robe not far away from it.

Hiss…

The sides of the red python’s face swelled up and after taking in a suck, spit out thick black smoke, before rushing at great speed towards the man in the white robe.

Slash!

A bright light flashed from the sword sheathed. Black smoke enveloped the sword as it slashed towards the red python’s black smoke.

In a flash, the red python was slashed in half and its blood dripped into a pool of mess. The man’s invisible Energy Field shielded off the dripping blood avoiding its stain.

Garen was satisfied as he looked at the red python being cut in half.

“The Level Five Mutated Organism Red Python can be turned into a decent armguard for legs and shoulders. Its meat is delicious and provides huge health.”

“Senior brother Garen, are we going to choose this place?” Bainster appeared behind him along with Hillco. They both seemed to be on guard. Afterall, this place was designated as a terrifying zone with dangerous Level Five organisms. An insect could easily kill them both as they were just a Level Two Energy Machinist.

As both of them walked out of the forest, another two fully red Humanoid Mech appeared from behind. The Cockpit was transparent and two beautiful, female twins could be seen sitting inside them.

“We’ve searched the surrounding and this red python which had been killed by your highness was the last threat.” A clear voice of a woman came from within the Mech.

“Okay. We will train here then.” Garen nodded. After returning the Space Ring back to Aine, the latter then tried to gift the ring to Garen but was declined by him. After realizing that he didn’t have any Pilots to protect him, she decided to gift the twin Pilots to Garen. The twin sisters were a standard Level Five Pilot. They looked young as if they were in their teens, but were actually in their twenties as they had used a life-lengthening medicine which anchored down their physical appearances. Due to the effect of the medicine, they still looked extremely young and petite.

“Little One and Little Two, please go and set up an emergency camp and draw a repellent line for the creatures,” Garen ordered.

“Understood.” The two Mechs headed out separately.

On the other hand, Bainster and Hillco both released a black dragonfly and a white snake respectively, which swiftly patrolled the surrounding area.

Garen shook his head as he looked at these two who were just Level Two Energy Machinists, they were of not much help in this area.

“You two should head back and take care of my Snowpeak Black Wolves. It’s too dangerous here and it’s not something you two are capable of handling yet.”

“I guess there is no other way…” Bainster and Hillco knew that they were pulling his legs being here. Not only that, they weren’t able to increase their strength as well.

Hillco sighed as she sat in her electronic wheelchair. Due to her retardation, she had to use her Willpower to move her body, which was a trouble placed on top of another issue.

“What if…Hillco stays back? And warms the boss’s bed? Hehehe!” Bainster started laughing strangely as he saw Hillco’s disappointed expression.

In comparison to Hillco, the twins were as beautiful as her but they did not possess her elegance. Hillco’s elegance was strong and unwavering, yet her physical appearance was a total opposite with her smooth and silky soft skin and slender body.

While her actions may be slow due to her retardation, this actually made her attractive to people who had a fetish. She would definitely not be able to reject anyone who wanted to sleep with her as she could only be tossed about on the bed like a ragdoll by the other half.

This type of woman was definitely the best quality in the society. Many people had tried to get their hands on Hillco back in the Snow Peak. If it wasn’t for Garen’s protection, she might have already become someone’s sex slave.

Hillco lowered her head and didn’t refute at all after hearing what Bainster said. Her brown hair was tied up in a ponytail and slid down from the side of her neck. She may look like the sweet girl next door but she is in actually a very strong and determined lady.

“Go back. It’s very dangerous for both of you to stay here.” Garen sighed as he recalled Celine’s expression. It had been a few months since they got in touch and he was considering bringing Celine and the others over to live together once he had settled down as a Three Hearted Disciple. Rumor had it that a Three Hearted was allowed to have their own territory.

Ultimately, he had to return to the Blackboard Region to take his revenge on the Black Flood Party after achieving Inherited Level. He was still too weak now to do so.

“Alright… Since you already have two bed warmers, Hillco will be useless here anyway since she’s not needed.” Bainster started grumbling as he had already known that Hillco was already head over heels over Garen.

Frankly speaking, Garen wasn’t that bad looking and had a good body. His social status was up high and he had a promising future as a gifted elite. He could very well grow to become an authoritative figure in the Scarlet Snow Sect with great power and Hillco would not be suitable for him as a companion. She wouldn’t be able to handle the stress and responsibilities from the higher-ups as well. If there were disputes among the higher-ups, she could have become a flaw that would kill Garen.

Even if Garen and Hillco were interested in each other, they wouldn’t have a romantic ending or even marriage.

Hillco’s face turned pale. She wasn’t the innocent girl who daydreamed a lot, but once her dreams and ideals were torn apart, it was indeed a painful feeling that she had not experienced for a long time.

“Go back and have a good rest.” Bainster comforted as he understood how his best friend felt. He also knew that the difference between Garen and Hillco’s social status was heaven’s apart as Garen was a very gifted man whereas Hillco had nothing but her own body.

However, he hoped that Garen was a playboy in this situation. Even if it was just a casual fling, it would still give her a good memory and possibly even an offspring. This would then give Hillco, who had no relatives or family, a bit of hope.

They entered the Flying Ship, preparing to leave the forest.

Under Garen’s arrangement, Little One sent both of them to the portal and directly back to the Black Wolf Peak.

It was still a snowy day in Planet Naga’s Black Wolf Peak.

After leaving the Flying Ship, they bid farewell to Little One.

“I’m leaving,” Hillco spoke out of the blue. “This is my first time falling in love with someone else, it won’t be worthwhile if this feeling keeps going on and nothing comes out of it.”

Bainster felt helpless.

“Where do you plan to go?” Since they were under Garen’s care, the resources they obtained were much better than a typical disciple. It was extremely simple for them to find a place to hide, change their names and live a simple life.

“I don’t know. Perhaps I will leave Planet Naga and head back to my hometown.” Hillco played with her hair fringe as she replied hesitatingly. “You should come and visit me whenever you’re free.”

Bainster pondered for a while before replying.

“I will.”

He looked at Hillco, as if he had more to say to her but hesitated.

“Just let me know if you need any help. I can deal with the small issues and I think senior brother Garen will definitely help out if it’s serious.”

Hillco sighed.

“Say, Bainster, what do you think will happen if I insist to take the same path?”

Bainster smiled helplessly.

The result? They would be left behind by Garen since they couldn’t keep up with him. Perhaps one day they would become a high ranking member under him. They would lead a luxurious life but that is probably not what Hillco wanted…

“Unless you do not want a social identity and only be his lover.”
