3 Serpentine Forest (2)

Jumping up from his position and facing the creature who was now his opponent, he instinctively opened his eyes which he instantly regretted as he was attacked by another stinging pain, as if that wasn't enough, all of his stamina felt as if it was drained away instantly.

Thud!!

Weakly falling on his knees, he listened to his implanted memories as he then asked his system.

'Please, system, how am I to get out of my current predicament.'

-Ding

[Host is recommended to use a Reality mark to instantly kill this ant]

He felt a slight shock as he sarcastically thought. 'Is a Soul Forging beast a mere ant?' He then focused his attention on the creature heading in his direction.

'Use it now!!!'

He roared in his mind as he felt the beast stampeding towards his unmoving body. What happened next though, immediately sent shivers up the beings who saw the results of using a Reality mark.

In the dead of night, jumping from tree to tree in this massive forest were two figures. Though they were moving at speeds that were not humanly possible, their movements were soundless as if they were tiptoeing as quietly as possible.

They adorned all black clothing and a black face mask that only showed their eyes which made it clear that they were outer disciples of the Chthonic Sect.

Though they were mere outer disciples, any being in this continent who wasn't a member of the Chthonic Sect would never dare to even think of harming even outer disciples such as them mainly because of monsters that reside inside of the Chthonic Sect.

No one in this continent knew or ever seen the Sect Leader besides the elders and elite disciples of this sect but, even the elders of this sect are beings of immense strength and ferocity, one would expect that the Sect Leader who rules over every single one of them to also be a creature of immense strength and ferocity.

Plus, the fact that every member of this Sect is either a Demon or underwent Demonic transformation made it so that everyone in this whole world did not dare to easily mess with this continent which was mostly ruled by these Demons.

Being outer disciples themselves, they also were Demons as was obvious by the fact that their eyes were black and the pupils were red, these signs showcased that they had the trademark of Demons.

Anyways, reaching the predicted destination from which the scream previously came from, what they saw immediately changed their world views.

In the scene of a gorgeous child who was currently looking in the direction of the beast that was about to attack him with closed eyes, the duo of Demonic disciples was about to bolt in his direction and help him.

Not because they were kindhearted Demons though, it was mainly because this child also had similarities to a demon which was the red pupils and the black eyes that are normally white for other humanoid races such as elves, humans, dwarves, and more.

But, just as they were about to go to his rescue, they watched on shocked as the beast that was about to pounce on to such a gorgeous child was immediately halted upright in the air as right over the body of this beast, a crack formed in the surrounding space as a black substance leaked out of the crack in space.

This black substance went on to wash over the body of the humanoid beast that had a bird head as these Demonic disciples watched on shockingly as the beast seemed to be completely wiped away. The beast quite literally disappeared as the only thing that was left behind was a few ashes-like substances which also disappeared after a while.

What was left of the beast though was three bright golden enticing balls of lights which suddenly floated round the body of the little child as it then seemingly entered his chest, completely disappearing from the world forever.

Jin watched on shocked to the core as he saw three shimmering golden balls of light enter his chest, which left him in a momentary state of panic. Instantly remembering the memories which implanted themselves into his mind, he realized that those three shimmering lights were the skill 'Drop' being used by the system.

'System, show me my inventory.'

Jin called out in his mind as a transparent screen simultaneously appeared in front of him as he gazed at the words even with his eyes closed.

-Ding

Inventory-

Soul Forming Core-(The master simply needs to follow the instructions from his memory to absorb the core.)

Memory Book-(A book containing the memory of the being killed by the Jin of Void)

Beast Skill-(Absorbs the strength of other beings when the master eats said beings.)

-

After seeing this, a devilish smile etched itself onto the face of Jin as his mood went through the roof after seeing the information inside of his inventory.

But, right after the momentary joy, he immediately went back to his emotionless look as he sensed two beings in his surrounding vicinity.

'After thinking about this carefully, if I am correct in my way of thinking, then this should be feasible...system, use a Reality mark to give me my full stamina back.'

-Ding

Reality mark-96/100

-

Immediately, Jin felt all of his lost energy immediately came back to him as his body instantly jumped up and entered a defensive martial art stance.

'It seems that a Reality mark can do anything I ask for, hmm, I wonder, can it truly do anything. Though I highly doubt that, let's first see who these beings that are spying on me are and what's their purpose....'

"Are you planning to continue hiding, or are you coming to fight," Jin said in his emotionless tone which gave the Demonic duo an uncomfortable feeling in their chest.

Deciding to appear in front of Jin, the duo's body immediately appeared only a few meters away from a now startled Jin as he was then forced to face the fact that the duo in front of him was of totally different strength compared to his previous opponent.

His previous opponent that was a Soul Forging beast would not stand a chance against the two beings who now appeared in front of him. Each of the bodies of the duo who appeared in front of Jin radiated an aura that made it clear that they were beings who were in the Soul Transformation realm.

Seeing this and also feeling the power radiating from them, Jin's thought process entered overdrive as he thought of a solution almost instantly. Connecting to the system, he then said in his mind.

'I know that these Reality marks can't make any wish with a mere one Reality mark otherwise my race would have already reigned supreme in whatever we are trying to reign...so tell me system, how much will it be for these three requests to be made.'

Jin said in his mind as his face instantly contorted into a frown after hearing the answer from the system, his face then twisted into a deeper frown when hearing the words spoken by the two beings in front of him.
