224 Berserk Part-1 (1/2)
Next day a sweaty and stinky Ryuu stood up from his meditation spot as he stretched popping his joints in place as he gagged at the putrid smell coming from his body covered with black slimy stick filth, he so needed to take a bath. Maheswara was sitting opposite to him on a meditative position opened his eyes as he spoke, ”So you have regained one level over night.”
Ryuu nodded at that as he frowned, ”Well why do I look like I the first time I had regained the level, I should not have sweated like that.”
Maheswara snorted at that as spoke, ”Who told you that, when you lose a level it basically means that the building you have created has some part of it which has collapsed, and you are rebuilding that part from scratch although you will have much easier time building it back since you already have the blueprint with you. Now run along you stink too much it is time for your bath.”
Ryuu nodded as he left for his bath, with a yawn he felt a little bit tired.
Meanwhile the palace they were staying was having a guest in the name of Khygnos was visiting him along with Milena and Neacht.
Veena: ”Welcome lady Khygnos, Milena and Neacht, welcome to our temporary aboard.”
Khygnos: ”Pardon me for the intrusion Lady Veena.”
Celestia: ”It has been eons since we had got together like this.”
Khygnos: ”So true and I believe not only that it has been even much longer since I have spoke with lady Nuwa herself.”
Nuwa: ”So true, it really has been many years since we spoke.”
Milena: ”Where is uncle and brother Ryuu?”
Maheswara who had just arrived replied on behalf of his ”Ryuu broke into Level 6 Void Immortal Level and after his success he is taking a bath to get read of the gunk covering him.”
Khygnos: ”Ah brother you really are lucky to have such an uncut diamond in the form of Ryuu to have reached Level 6 Void Immortal is nothing short of amazing, I doubt there are any cultivator in this day and age who are as amazing as him.”
Antariskh snorted as she with a smug smile bragged about Ryuu, ”Lady Khygnos, actually that is not his true level a few months ago he suffered a tragedy which caused his level to drop from level 9th to level 5th.”
At that the listeners eyes widened before Milena spoke, ”Was the tragedy the reason he had to take the Demon Heart Pill.”, as she asked the question the trio of sisters winced inwardly at that, last night they asked the same question to their parents, which resulted on the getting chastised by them, and it was not nice experience for them.
Maheswara sighed at that as he spoke, ”No no, it only aggravated his condition but the reason he is suffering from it was because of his personal reasons regarding his family, and because of people he had befriended during his travels and were killed he blames himself greatly as such causing his suffering.”
Khygnos: ”I see and I believe it was one of the reasons he had gained enlightenment in the Dao of Asura.”
Veena replied to her somberly, ”Yes it was a tragedy.”
Neacht winced at that as she spoke, ”It is a Dao suitable for people who love combat too much specially the Orc race who love to bath in the blood of their enemies, I doubt Ryuu would appreciate it though.”
Nuwa nodded as she spoke, ”You are right, if Ryuu fully embraced the Dao he would be actively seek out battle just to satiate his lust for blood and what not but he is not like that causing his suffering so much.”
Neacht suddenly spoke with a frown in her face, ”Uncle, Aunty I do not mean to insult you but you know I had once gained enlightenment on the Dao as such I have some experience on it, so if you do not mind if I help him getting better control over it, you know well that as long as he actively tries to avoid it, it will cause him more harm than good.
As they were speaking the Ryuu had finished taking his bath as he arrived at the drawing room of the palace, where his teachers were having tea with their guests.
