Yuki

Yuki the berating Ren for his recklessness and Sook finally letting out some of his emotions. "Bastard if you were strong enough to fight a sacred-blood creature why didn't you step in to help Jin!" He continued while Ren ignored most of his surroundings, focusing on a healing based hyper geno art.

Sooks words made sense to Yuki, dispite not usually seeing eye to eye with him. She also didn't understand why Ren would let Jin die acting as a bystander. 

Though Hya Hwan silently already had an understanding of the reasons, know Ren wasn't actually strong enough to fight a sacred-blood creature but used a powerful hyper geno art that he rationalized would take its time and toll to perform for a user.

Ren naturally already had a series of excuses he could use to cover himself. After recovering, and putting away his armor. He sighed, inspecting himself and now realizing Hya Hwan had somehow lost a hand in the fight.

Finally taking note of the oddly sour atmosphere rather than a pure bitter and mournful atmosphere he'd expect. 

Sook took notice of his unaware demeanor misinterpreted it as carefree, ignoring or not effected by losing a friend. Started to again yell at him.

Deciding not to take back, Ren stood up perfectly healthy despite fairly hungry. Proclaimed his unrest in leaving the group with as ment with toxic encouragement from both Sook and Yuki this time.

Not understanding, but also not caring. Ren tossed an amulet in Hye Hwan direction and walking away.

Back in the temporary camp of Rens now previously group. Hye Hwan sighed understanding the amulets value.

Trying to call his employers down. "Sook, Yuki it's a shame that Jin is gone now, but these types of things are to be expected from the sanctuary's." Pausing briefly, watching the now more sad then previously angry atmosphere. "Don't be angry at Ren, although he hid that strength, it wasn't truly his own. A high level Hypergeno art, no doubt with extreme restrictions and drawbacks, was the cause of all that. It's not something that can be used in the spur of a moment without immense training, usually only seen in evolvers."

Sighing, letting everything sink in. "Also don't seek conflict with him in the future. This amulet he gifted me reveals his identity. It proves to the saint hall that the holder of the amulet greatly helped a high level member of their organization warranting a reward from the saint hall that can be exchanged at anytime." 

"We're lucky he was friendly from the beginning, not using his status to push us around." Hye Hwan ended his statement witnessing the shocked reactions of his employers.

While Ren made his way back home planning on consuming a dozen of nutrition fluids to appease his strong hunger, from excess energy usage.

The came from the result of not only temporarily strengthening himself but also rapidly healing himself.

Also to wait enough time for his sacred-blood armor to repair and to find another z-steel dagger.

Hearing some rumors about a sacred-blood bird type creature while walking through the shelter, Ren took note. Naturally with the news of a sacred-blood creature its general area of existence was also known, though the specifics were suppressed.

Taking advantage of the situation he raced in the general direction taking a day to search the area to find the creature. Knowing it would take time for other people to assemble a team, Ren didn't waste anytime.

Finding some clues along the way he finally noticed a nest encompassing the entire peak of a decently large tree. Climbing a nearby tree, he silently approached the nest gaining elevation on the nest he could see blood drenching the insides of the wooden nest.

Noticing no creature, but knowing such a nest could only belong to a sacred-blood creature he waited. A day passed and the nest owner finally returned, settling in its nest.

An albino raven ruffled its feathers in its nest falling asleep, Ren couldn't be more glad. Not wanting to alert the creature of his presence he ignored the option of climbing down his tree and climbing up the bird's tree. Not very confident in evading the birds senses while climbing a tree.

He held his breath before launching off his tree silently, landing on the birds back and startling it.

*Schreeeech!*

Stabbing the back of the bird with a summoned beast soul weapon. The bird was quick to enter its natural territory, the sky. Stuck on the bird, while being thrown around. Ren glued himself to the birds back, trying to slowly kill the beast.

They were gradually descending with the creature losing its strength and life. Eventually the creature was killed, entering a free fall. Ren knew he was in trouble, he wouldn't die from the fall, but would certainly take great damage.

"Sacred-blood creature albino reaver killed. Beast soul gained. Eat it's flesh to gain 0 to 10 sacred-blood geno points randomly."

[Sacred-blood creature albino reaver: beast soul type: wings]

Quickly summoning his newly acquired beast soul he managed to land safely and somewhat gracefully. He sighed at the dramatic fight, ending smoothly. Taking his time to prepare the meat he made his way back to the shelter, avoiding a group of fairly strong individuals in the area.

Probably the group created to take out the sacred-blood bird he just defeated.

Ren decided heed begin hunting in the water, the next time around taking a brief break back in the alliance. Having an extremely high proficiency the (tide) geno art, not gonna have a problem fighting in the water.

Also dabbled In a hyper geno art he fused with (tide) allowing him to extend the amount of time he could go with out oxygen.

Ren didn't have the Dongxuan sultra to breath underwater, and the best geno art that existed so far for a similar thing would allow him to drink some of the water in the ocean and filtering it to obtain some oxygen, enough to stay under water for an extended period of time over a hour if conserving energy and as short as thirty minutes if in a high intensity fight.

Taking a short walk outside the shelter to the beach he began to swim under the water to avoid the turbulent waves. Noticing he'd need to use another geno art to alter his vision. 

Ren slowly gained visual focus in the previously blurry water.

Seeing the lively environment, schools of small fish and sea plants.

He followed where the life led delving deeper, fighting hundred or ordinary creature dozens of primitive creatures and a few mutant creatures he tried striking a few of the mutant creatures with his blade.

Skewering a few they were quick to escape and Ren didn't think giving chase was a smart thing to do under water.

Finding a mutant starfish attached to a large piece of coral. Ren attacked knowing it didn't have the option to run.

Piercing a starfish leg no blood leaked, but it moved grabbing on to his wrist. Ren couldn't escape from its grasp until he sliced the starfishes arm off with his dagger.
