9 Myriad Limb (1/2)

---

”Raven…what the hell was that?” Paul asked, unsure of what he was feeling right now. Mark also wore a wonderful expression on his face as well.

”A cultivation technique. Impressive right?” He replied while smiling.

”Where did you find this? No that's not important. Why would you casually toss something this valuable to us?” Mark was feeling very distressed right now.

”Cause your my brothers duh!? Who else do you think would receive that aside from you guys?” Raven said in a 'matter-of-fact' tone.

Both of them were stunned as he heard him say this, they find it very hard to tell what they truly feel. While it might be true that they have been friends for years now, they can't say if they are at the level where they could casually toss something like this with each other.

”You know what brother? We're extremely flattered. But how about Uncle Luis? Aunt Eva? Why didn't you give this to them instead?”

”Weren't you guys listening earlier? Each person has a different Spirit Entity, those techniques aren't suitable for them. And for the record, Dad already has one. I gave it to him last week.” Raven said while opting to not say about the whole Sun Warriors Clan thing.

”But-”

”Okay stop!” Raven held out his hand and prevented Mark from continuing any further. ”Don't ask too many questions and don't refuse the things that I give you. I have my reasons for it alright? Besides, didn't you guys want to be stronger? I'm giving you a chance now since you guys took me as a brother.” He smiled warmly as he spoke.

Paul bit his lips and Mark clenched his hands, they both nodded and didn't asked anything further. What if their brother has a secret? To hell with it! They swore to never betray him and stay at his side from now on.

”Don't resist. I'll give you the entire technique and it's name now.” Raven held out his hand and pressed it on their foreheads. He roused his soul and used it to impart the techniques that he wanted to give them. Paul and Mark were stunned to find out that they have new sets of memories in their minds. They gave it sometime before it naturally arranged themselves, which enable them to view fully.

Raven gave the [Eternal Defender's Scripture] to Paul. This technique heavily boasts about physique and heavy blows. He then gave Mark the [Lightning Sovereign's Scripture], this technique could make him an absolute terror specially on open areas.

He withdrew his hand and allowed them to mull over the techniques on their own. He then withdrew to the side and took out a Talent Measuring Crystal for himself. He inject his blood and observed the changes on the crystal with patience. Seconds passed and the crystal finally showed what he was looking for.

”Well, well.” He said, a wry smile appeared in his face as he looked at the results. ”So that's why, it is actually the Myriad Limb Entity huh?”

Raven had finally known why he faced too much difficulties when cultivating back then. It turns out that he had lose out from the advantage of his Spirit Entity and forced his way through a beaten path. Speaking of his Spirit Entity, he actually found records about it's existence on one of his adventures.

Stories said that it was failed product of a nasty experiment. The inspiration of it's creation was from another mythical creature known as the Hecatoncheres, a primordial that is said to have a 50 heads and 50 pairs of arms.

The insane person who created the Myriad Limb decided to create something that has 100 arms and legs while giving it a simple sentience which they could control with no problems. Unfortunately, the experiment failed, before it was fully formed the creature attracted a heavenly tribulation and it's creator died in the process. The creature was born but it was treated as an accursed thing and was sealed away due to it's vile aura.

It was until one day, someone slipped past it's prison, broke the seal and asked the creature to help him. The creature complied and followed the man only to find out that it was a trap and the man betrayed it. The people of the city wanted it dead so they burned it. Unexpectedly, the creature didn't fought back, it only wept sadly and accepted it's fate. It was then that the clouds have parted and a golden stairway descended. A fair woman descended and took the Myriad Limb with her to leave the mortal plane. Nobody knows it's fate afterwards.
