YM778.TV Chapter 347 - It Was Scary, Father!
The wind and earth elements were the forte of the husband\'s party second part. Both Josef and Fusia would feel like they were in their homes here. Other floating islands might had already become their homes, but Kyoya didn\'t plan to search for them.
First, he would find a quiet place by himself!
"In this chaos, you can\'t help but rely on yourself. If you need help, just call your beloved," The husband smiled broadly, then tossed the card. A card with a diamond sign whirled above his palm, then he clenched it tightly.
It shimmered with highly sealing powers, then Kyoya hurled it straight at the nearbiest troll.
Before the card could do its job, Xiaoxiao\'s bright voice brimmed his mind, "Don\'t get too cocky, Kyoya! We will be the ones to clean the most monsters."
With Akaro by her side, Xiaoxiao hugged the goddess\' arm and exclaimed loudly! They were sisters and their hunts would count as one. Of course, there was no set reward yet, but Xiaoxiao\'s words gave Akaro an idea.
This brought up the quest!
[Akaro\'s Quest - The Goddess\' Touch.]
The husband was the one to get such a quest. Others had different rewards that would help either with their concepts or understanding of their weapons. The word \'touch\' piqued Kyoya\'s interest.
He read more of the content and found that Akaro just wanted to hug. The content stressed the human form or even half-human one with cat ears and tails. The husband\'s torpor lasted for so long that the troll\'s thick arm slapped him to the side.
At least it seemed like that as Kyoya raised his knife and stopped the enemy\'s engage, "Hana, wanna team up?!"
"Not today, husband." Hana waved her hand, already far away from Kyoya. She also got the quest and the content said that she had to be alone in this hunt. Even though it was highly unlikely for Hana to even get half of Xiaoxiao and Akaro\'s count, she believed her hard work would be rewarded regardless of the result. Her training dummies danced under her control, facing the trolls with eerie eyes.
[Diamond Card has partially sealed the hybrid creatures\' powers.]
[His arm has been sealed.]
"Just an arm, huh..." Kyoya wasn\'t surprised because the troll\'s strength had to match the floor it had appeared on. The troll also failed in its assault, so its eyes dilated and stinky breath oozed out of its mouth.
Carried by the wind, it assailed the husband\'s senses, forcing him to take out the sealing card again.
Kyoya distanced himself, peeked at the sealed arm and found out that the raw flesh was exposed to the world. The earthly skin had crumbled, exposing the weak point that became the sole target of the husband\'s attacks.
He threw cards, then lit up those in the flames made out of Akaro and Xiaoxiao\'s concept. The cards whirled around the troll, then all flashed at the same time. The burst of explosion forced the troll down to its knees.
As the two weaknesses overlapped, Kyoya arrived close to the troll in the blink of an eye, then slid his knife through its arm. He dug deep enough to conjure the blood fountain out of its flesh!
He then threw the knives into its eyes and put more cards across its body!
BOOM!
The raw explosion took out the troll, then Kyoya received two orbs.
[You have received \'Earth Doom Concept\'s Energy.]
[You have received \'Wind Bull Concept\'s Energy.]
"I can\'t waste the resources," Going against the gods\' wish, Kyoya extended his hand. The black particles oozed out of his flesh, then wrapped his arm to form a black glove. This black glove went straight to the dead troll\'s body.
Then, Kyoya closed his eyes, "There you are."
[You have grasped The Troll\'s Soul.]
It was a man-made soul out of the ascended race. Kyoya didn\'t know what exactly the gods\' plan was, but surely some death god had dipped his hands in this! The troll\'s soul was not the one you would put into a reincarnation cycle or give a second chance to.
This soul had raw effects written within.
The first was the respawn point. This soul would be recycled in this floating island, instead. The second would be its tangible form. Kyoya, even though he had The Sixth Death God\'s abilities, was far from proficient in this area.
This soul got snatched far too easily by him, but his eyes analyzed it from both perspectives and so the answer unfolded before his eyes.
"This troll would return to haunt unless the challenger killed it with one blow," Kyoya inferred, then glanced to the side. The wave of flames prominently dominated part of the floating island.
It completely split it up and covered what had been going on on the other side.
However, from the giggles and laughter flowing out from this side, Kyoya guessed that Xiaoxiao and Akaro were doing just fine.
He tossed his knife, then whispered, "The more I kill the stronger I become too." He had that unique skill to play around with underlings.
Though the trolls couldn\'t be called underlings yet, Kyoya already could localize their souls with naked eye. He just needed to tear through their earthly skin, withstand the wind and shove his sealing card to get that soul.
He smiled and began the race to not lose against two flame sisters!
-
"Father! That was too scary!" Kuro appeared out of the jack box and instantly skipped his way towards his father.
Though the jack box had been his safety spot, it was too dark and he was just genuinely scared. However, it was not the darkness that scared Kuro the most. The loneliness was what had been wearing him down.
He had never been alone in his life until this day. It would be either his father, Xaya or sister that spent time with him. But today, Kuro finally spent a lot of time in the darkness alone and found out that loneliness was just too unsettling.
He hugged his father tightly and didn\'t let his clothes go!
