Chapter 416 - Icy Grave(Part-2) (2/2)

He looked at the bright yellowish orb that was his soul as he redirected a part of the energy towards his soul where he began to mix it with his soul energy.

'Now every time I attack someone with the energy of my soul it would harm them as if they were being exposed to extreme cold.'

As time passed by the 'Primal Ice' began to slowly shrink in size as more and more of its energy siphoned off, as did the cold and then it suddenly disappeared completely as the temperature slowly started to become normal.

Ryuu slowly opened his eyes with a disappointed look in his eyes which he schooled quickly enough so that no one could spot them.

'I failed yet again, I used an array so that the bulk of the energy would transfer towards me in a steady pace, irrespective of how many were tapping into it, I thought I would not only increase my understanding but even refine my KI and soul adding the freezing property of ice in it, I thought after everything I would be able to move to Eleventh rank.'

A frustrated sigh escaped from his lips because of the result of the situation, 'No matter what I did, I felt it was like driving the fastest car then colliding with an invisible wall at the middle of the road that had appeared out of nowhere.'

As he looked around he deadpanned, the small room had been expanded and made into a large cave and it seemed as if every cultivator from his group were present there.

'I do not know how much others were able to siphon off their core at least I believe I will not have to care about the temperature in extremely hot and cold situations anymore.'

As Ryuu stood up the mat disappeared inside his space ring, he stifled a small yawn as he checked around and upon locating Zywia who was happily chatting with True-Spear he decided to join them only to stop as he shook his head slightly, 'Nope not going to commit the same mistake, and I refuse to be a third wheel.'

”When did you wake up from your meditation Ryuu?”

Ryuu turned towards Frost Flames as a smile made on to his lips as he spoke, ”Just a few seconds ago, so did the harvest went well.”

As Frost Flames nodded with a smile on her face Ryuu felt a stab of guilt, only for the teachings of his teachers to come into full effect as he pushed down the guilt.

'It is not my fault that their underhanded tactics did not work as well as mine.' Ryuu was not naïve enough to believe that no one except him used something that would not help in gathering the energy more efficiently.

Jethrar smiled in a benevolent as he looked at the shivering form of Unanresh who was cowering in front of him, in the snow, she had been stripped n.a.k.e.d, her body broken as she looked up at Jethrar with fear in her eyes, while she was forced into kneeling position in front of him by his corpse puppet.

”Senior Unanresh, I remember when I used to look at you as an invincible Immortal someone I would one-day able o reach and now low behold, I surpassed you and now beneath all the bravado look at you now cowering in front of me.”

Jethrar frowned as he spoke, ”Such a thing from the one I idolized is unbecoming and tarnishing the memory I have of you but do not worry I will fix it.”, he finished with an overly enthusiastic manner that sent chills down Unanresh's spine.

As she tried to speak again Jethrar held her jaws hard as he spoke, ”You know we stumbled upon a pile of corpses a good few distances away from the portal, the corpses of the cultivators from our realm, their armours and items were stolen, that means you smuggled our enemies into this level, that means you are all to be blamed and punish.”

Jethrar caressed her n.a.k.e.d body as Unanesh whimpered as he spoke, ”Ithrura wanted you to become a plaything for our minions and thus pay for your sins, but I stopped her oh Elder Martial Sister mine but you are to be punished, do not worry I promise to keep you by my side forever.”

He then gently laid a kiss on her forehead as his face gained a demonic visage as he spoke, ”Now let me show you what happens when a corpse puppet by using the living as the ingredient.”

Ithrura let out a jaw ripping yawn as a horrific scream came to her ears making her cast a glance towards the direction where Jethrar had hauled Unanresh off to as she mused with a bored look on her face, 'So boring here I thought I would get to have some form of entertainment but now 'I am going to practice my secret arts as such you cannot watch, what a boring thing.''
