Chapter 65: Time to go (1/2)

I take her hands. ”Though you have a teenage girl look, you are more than a thousand years old, right?”

Her hands are small and pale. She has ancient tattoos on the back of her hands. She grins at me and says, ”We are already friends?”

”I am not a friend of oracles.” I twist her hands. ”Why are you here?”

”It hurts, friend.” She leans closer to me. Her cheeks blush red. ”You can hurt me more. I do not mind at all.”

I let go of her hand right away. She is a masochist!

”Look, your husband is still trying to fight his way into the barrier.” She cocks her head proudly. ”He is just a king-ranked. An ant in front of a demon.”

I stomp on her foot. She cries in pain and kneels. Her face turns redder and she looks up with misty eyes.

”Hurt me more please.”

She is a lost cause.

”Please! Please!” She grabs my foot and wails, ”More...More..”

I ignore her pleas and look at Sung Jun. He is chanting and summoning freaking lightening on the barrier. His father is yelling at him to stop. Ms. Sung suddenly appears behind his father and knocks him down.

”Son, I will help you.” She creates signs with her finger in the air. The invisible sign turns a giant golden letter and falls toward the barrier. It blasts on the barrier.

”She is good, considering that she is just a violet level magician.” The Oracle let go of my leg. ”But not good enough.”

”Mother, please stop,” I say to Ms. Sung. ”Sung Jun, you also stop. She isn't hurting me.”

They stop when they hear me. Sung Jun moves closer to the barrier. His hands are already healed. I have no idea when he became a king-ranked shaman. It was probably before we met again. What did he eat as a child? Becoming a king-ranked shaman in modern times is nearly impossible. There are not enough pure spiritual energy or resources. Reis mentioned once that cultivating was tough for humans. Only those who were greatly chosen and blessed by heaven can ever surpass the impossible.

As for me, I can't cultivate because my body cannot store spiritual energy. I have already taken a different path to become strong.

”Woman, you can't even break this barrier.”

I find the owner of the voice sitting on the floor behind me inside the barrier. I have not seen Reis coming or going. Where did he just pop up from?
