Chapter 388 - The Last Piece(Part-1) (2/2)
Frost Flames frowned at that as she spoke, ”From personal experience?”
Ryuu nodded at that as he spoke, ”Yes, I had once faced an opponent that could control puppets she created using her dead enemies, I was forced to fight a hundred of them, and I almost died because of it, you all know how dangerous a puppet master can be?”, many nodded at his question as Ryuu continued, ”Well a cultivator puppet is more dangerous as they can use their skills from when they are alive and believe when I say comparing a Demonic Path cultivator from our Realm is small newborn puppy when compared to theirs.”
Many listeners had their eyes widen at that as Ryuu continued to speak, ”Now as for the Deva realm well I have never met with them though from the stories that I have heard they have a holier than thou attitude often looking down on others not to mention they have the annoying habit of being 'arrogant self righteous pricks', not my words mind you but those who have interacted with them.”, he paused for a moment letting his winds sink into them as he continued, ”The relation between the three is like 'Enemy of my enemy…”
”…..is my friend.”, Frozen Ocean continued Ryuu's words with her brows scrunched up in deep thought where as Ryuu send a small smile towards her as he spoke, ”Yes as sister Frozen Ocean had aptly said we are only friends with Deva because we share a common enemy though when the enemy is gone they would turn against us in a heartbeat.”
Severing Saber frowned at that as he spoke, ”Well last time I got injured and had to stay back at the fourth level as such I can only say from what I had heard from others that what you said is horrifyingly accurate.”
Ryuu gave a tired smile at that as he spoke, ”Personally if you ask me considering our situation.”, many lowered their head being reminded of their situation, ”I would prefer allying with Deva over the Preta anytime of the day they mind bully us for more resource but it is better than being used as a sacrifice for their twisted method cultivations, though that is possible if only they do not find allying with each other as much more beneficial to them then we are doomed, we cannot match the combined might of over sixty thousand cultivators.”
”Surely if they betray us and kill us surely the senior cultivators would do something about it.”
Ryuu gave the speaker a stare full of disbelief as he spoke, ”Pray tell me how will they know who killed whom, the Deva realm could very well claim the Preta realm did it and even if the truth is learned those senior cultivators are too busy with their own lives than to pay attention to a bunch of puny cultivators like us, we are replaceable easily and the only good might come of it will be miniscule trade concessions that is if one of those seniors are slightly greedy nothing more nothing less.”
The person had a look of disbelief written on his face as he spoke, ”You are kidding right?”
Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, ”No I am not, if I were I would have successfully cracked a joke that would have made all of you laugh loud but no, and as for them avenging you why would they what makes you so special in their eyes, the answer is nothing as such the only thing I want to advice you when we meet them specially the Preta realm try to keep your mind collected and calm and your heart strong.”, Ryuu stood up as he stretched popping his bones in place as he spoke, ”Well is there anything you all want to ask.”
No one spoke anything as most turned to leave as various theories ran rampart in their mind as Ryuu himself frowned in deep thought, 'During the time of my big sisters Eden did not have such function but after that incident it began to allow people from three different realms to enter simultaneously by appearing at three different realms at the same time but how and why? Truly a mysterious and magnificent artifact, wish I could meet its maker.'
As others were away from their earshot leaving only Zywia and Ryuu alone she quickly rounded up Ryuu as she spoke with a frown, ”If I remember correctly you have quite a sizable bounty on your head.”
Ryuu nodded at that while inwardly he was panicking, 'By Heaven's I hope she does not state the original amount then many would try to claim my head what a chore.', as he spoke, ”I do but for someone to claim it they will have to run to the Preta Realm otherwise it would be mute point.”
Zywia huffed at that as she spoke, ”I am not though you have a sizable bounty on your head so what would you do? Some might recognize you and try to kill you to claim it.”, she had a hint of concern in her voice which touched Ryuu a bit.
Ryuu looked to the sky as he spoke in a serious tone, ”If they have heard that then they must have heard the warning and even after that they try something I would perhaps arrange a lovely date with their head and the lovely edge of sword.”, the smile on his face send a chill down her spine, but Ryuu knew not to be arrogant specially with his condition the last few days had been a bit brutal because of which he felt incredibly drained and tired as such he was sleeping around every now and then making both Zywia and Frozen Ocean concern for him but at the same time they played their part of painting Ryuu as a lazy person so as to avoid people looking too closely into him.
