Immortal Cultivator System

Chapter 110: The Horror of the Zhao Warriors

"Why...Why are you telling me all this ? I don't really understand...It's not like I know anything about it or like I can do anything about it." Jian said as Berum nodded. 

" I wanted to warn you, I wanted you to know. That is because amidst all the things that imprisoned being said, he talked about a child with blue eyes. He said that child will be the first to see the Reset Moon coming, he will be the first to see the devastation. Now that child could be anyone, however you just so happened to be in the capital when the disciple of that being lit a whole mansion on fire. The blame was pinned on you and...It is exactly when that happened, that the being spoke about a child with blue eyes. I've checked many times and while I don't have a way to be perfectly sure, It does look like the two events happened at the exact same time." Berum explained as Jian's eyes widened. Was he getting himself into another set of problem, once again ?

This was becoming very tiring and he really needed to leave this accursed kingdom. It was as if he had been cursed ever since he entered the kingdom.

"Alright, let's presume I am that child.....What does that mean ? Am I supposed to be the one who'll save everyone or something like that ? Because I'm pretty sure I never signed up to become a fairy tale hero." Jian said with a little bit of anger in his voice.

"No, I don't believe it means that. I believe you'll be the alarm and your choices when you see the Reset Moon will heavily influence the end of this whole story. Perhaps we'll all die, perhaps this Reset Moon is only dangerous to certain beings and we'll be alright...Thing is, we don't know much more than what I just told you. We have no idea what to do, and for now I decided to just warn you." Berum said as he got up.

"The medecine must've acted already, get on my shoulders." Berum said as he positioned himself so that Jian could hop onto his shoulders. 

"....I'm not a child" Jian complained. However before Berum could say anything, the boy had hopped on his shoulders.

Letting out a little grin, Berum got up and left the infirmary. The nurse looked at the two leaving and smiled.

"If that man had dark hair...It would seem like they are father and son."

Meanwhile Zhao Shu was also getting treated.

The headquarters were quite big, so of course they didn't have only one infirmary. Especially not to heal thousands of children who got hurt all the time. Zhao Shu had been placed into one and just like with Jian and Berum, the warrior and the patriarch were talking while the former was in bed and the latter was sitting on a chair besides him.

"You really made an impression just then. If you weren't already a disciple, I would have recruited you. It's just a shame that the Raja's sect gets all those physical fighters....Now that I think about it, even the raja's sect would have troubles recruiting Zhao warriors. You joined on your own right ? I think If I heard right, that there was another zhao warrior besides you....What happened ?" The patriarch asked.

Shu sighed and thought about the day he joined the sect. 

" I am like everyone else, I want power. I joined just for that. I picked the Raja's sect simply because there was already a Zhao Warrior training under that sect. I have no idea why the dumbass joined though. However he really liked the sect, and it's the same for me. It feels good to have something you can call a family....I had many people around me when I was still at the headquarters. I was drowning in people wanting to speak to me, be friends with me. It was due to my status, but I liked it. It ain't the same with the Zhao Tribes." Shu said. While he and patriarch continued to speak, the warrior couldn't help but wonder how his sister was doing. Hell he wanted to know how his entire family was doing, it had been a long time since he had last heard of those people.

(Somewhere in the Li Zhang Kingdom, a few days ago)

Plumes of fire arose in the distance as the guards helped the civilians evacuate. Explosions could be heard in the distance, but no one looked behind them. They knew they were there... The Zhao Warriors.

Then, as a guard helped a child up, something crashed right into the ground. The civilians all jumped away and ran towards the guards. Said men were quick to act.

"Don't stay there ! All of you, evacuate ! We can't protect you, we can only give you time to run...SO RUN !" A guard shouted. The people who had been living in the once quiet village all began to run for their lives. Mothers reassured their crying children while some of the men walked with great difficulties due to their wounds. It had been a mistake to try to fight off the zhao warriors and all of them knew it now.

Whoever had crashed right into the ground groaned as he got up. The guards gasped and fell to their knees when they saw the gigantic figure slowly getting onto his feet. They hadn't seen the fight, and now they realized what exactly had been fighting the zhao warriors.

"Lord ! You cannot fight those people ! You cannot get hurt !" A guard yelled and the others joined, tears running down their cheeks. The gigantic monster who had two big fangs coming out of his lower gums let out a chuckle as he stood up to his full size. It was a humanoid monster with grey skin and white lines running all over his body. Those lines met on his throat joined a circle that contained a simple smile. If the Void Agents had seen it, they would have recognized it as a smiley.

The creature wore a tattered black leather short and had two gauntlets with long metal claws.

" Those bastards dared to attack us, so I can't just look in silence as my people suffer. Just because the kingdom didn't state it's stance on the war to avoid angering anyone....They think they can bully us....HAHAHAH ! We'll fucking see !" The creature yelled before launching itself forward. It has such speed that the guards were sent flying into the nearby houses.

Of course they were strong enough to take that without having any injuries, but it still shocked them. They should've known, but it was still a spectacle to see that creature fight.

While being insanely tall, it had the speed of the wind and the reflexes of a master. It jumped over the entire village and looked at the battle in the distance. A toothy grin made it's way on it's face as it cocked back it's fast.

"HERE I COME FUCKERS !" It yelled before launching itself once more. It reached the ground in only a second and the result was a massive crater. The Zhao Warriors growled and charged it...That was a big mistake.

"AHAHAHAH ! Come and get slaughtered !" 

*Slash*

A simple movement of it's clawed hand diced a dozen of zhao warriors into pieces. The others were unable to react since they were already fighting soldiers wearing silver armors.

"My men, give them no mercy !" 

The monster charged and impaled a warrior on one of it's claws. A light bulb lit in it's head and it started to impale warriors on each of it's fingers.

"Ahahaha ! Feels like I'm putting cheeseballs on my fingers to eat them, I kinda feel young again !" The monster yelled before it roared and actually devoured the warriors.

Anyone would have watched this in a horrified silence, but it wasn't the case here. The Silver warriors were used to the way this monster fought and the zhao warriors had seen much worse in their lives. This was a battle between monsters so no one would get shocked at anything their enemies did.

The monster took a step back as something hit it's face. 

"ARGHHH !" It roared while clawing at it's face. A few seconds later, it stopped and roared once more, but it was much louder this time.

"WHO THE HELL TRIED TO BURN MY FACE ?!" 

"Can't you take a guess, immense moron ?" A voice said. 

The monster froze as it felt something on it's head. It's muscles tensed and in a split second, it clapped it's hand over it's head. However the person had already jumped and was now right in front of the monster. A spear of flame was made and before the monster could react, it found itself stabbed into his torso.

"AGHHH DAMMIT !"

The monster grabbed the spear event though his flesh hissed and he felt like his hands were about to melt. He removed it and threw it at the person's feet. 

"Well, it would've been awkward if you had died so easily. Try to put up a fight, or else I would've really come here for no freaking reasons. I already dislike having to fight with those stinky guys."

"HEY ! We can hear you bitch !" 

"Yeah, don't insult us you dumb bitch !"

The Zhao Warriors yelled at the woman before she turned around as her eyes opened.

"What ?" She asked as she looked at them. She wasn't even glaring at them or anything, but her looking at them with that fake smile made them remember who they were talking to.

They all continued to fight while avoiding her gaze. She looked around and saw that no one was looking at her anymore.

"I really hope you are as good as the others told me...I am regretting my decision to come here already." The woman said as opened both of her hands, blue flames sparking to life like a wildfire.

The monster cracked it's neck and smiled.

"You'll see soon If I am good enough, leader of the Flies !"
