Walk For The Eternal Silhouette Region
POM! PAM! PUNCH! KICK! SLAM! CRACK!
Hearts being pulled out, brains exploding, guts filling the battlefield's grounds for a few seconds before disappearing in an either verdant-gloomy, pitch-black dark-like abyss and even mercury-like aura-like animations.
Tongqiu didn't had Rosey to use her Bloodline skill, yet he moved at his full Movement Speed which was enough to kill players with only the use of his potent and resistant body against theirs' in a manner of crushing them to a less painful oblivion. Less painful since, those who were especially killed by Tongqiu's hands and feet were screaming to the top and furthermost of their lungs as the mercury-like marks that appeared on their bodies would kill off the surviving oneshot players.
Meanwhile, Zyv was adoringly worshiping Tongqiu with her eyes as Rosey did her best to protect the little fool from being sniped to death by ranged classes by using a Dooming Bloom whenever he saw a group of them come close to the ranged attack of the two of them and similarly cc'ing a few others with her Myriad Thorny Roots skill when in cooldown. All the same, the melee players that got close to her would be swatted to death to the sides.
"Guaaaaaah! So- charming! Mmmhm~." As Zyv uttered those few words after a husky exclamation, Little Rosey who was right behind her, shook her head helplessly; doing her best to transmit her big bro messages of the current situation.
Sure enough, after 20 minutes of brandishing his two arms, legs and whatnot, Tongqiu stopped making an instant, sudden and unexpected carnage out of these terrorized players and took out his Light-Absorbing Flaming Gladius instead of retreating back towards the north.
Understanding his intentions without the need of words, Zyv and Rosey joined up at last in the extermination of these cunts of a players.
Nodding at the two of them, Tongqiu then stood on the spot as his mind made wonders out of his instincts. After a few seconds of silly-looking and standing over there without moving a tiny bit, he suddenly raised his right handed Light-Absorbing Flaming Gladius before sending it away with raw, full strength!
Swish! Whistle!
Bvreee-VwlshtBvreee-VwlshtBvreee-VwlshtBvreee-VwlshtBvreee-Vwlsht...
-8,131, -6,747, -5081, -5,911, -8,204, -11,092...
As the previously right-handed Light-Absorbing Flaming Gladius rotated unbelievably fast while moving in a fashion that it seemed to have gained effect for it moved in a circular, round motion across the remaining less than 20,000 players. Satisfactory sounds of their flesh tearing went out and out without a damned stop for almost a full 10 seconds, before undeniably falling down onto the ground amidst the countless steps and march of the still 'hopeful' players.
Ignoring the rest, Tongqiu's eyes closed peacefully as his mind was being called upon by a familiar, old pal's sensation.
Tiling~...
Echoing in his mind, Tongqiu lifted his right arm and brought it behind him as if he had just swiped from the front to his back with the gladius still in his hand. Remaining like that for 3 seconds as the two girls worked hard to not allow the encirclement of players to get close to him, there was finally, a change!
Swoo~p!!
*PING*...host has unearthed the hidden stat; Intent.
*PING*...with host's Luck, Charm and Mental Power and brand new Intent stats; host has managed to evolve 'Unparalleled Angle' into 'Unparalleled Manipulation'.
[Unparalleled Manipulation]: Type: Active/Passive, MAX LV: 10, LV: 1, SP needed for next LV: 10,000, Cooldown: 0.3 seconds, Cost: 1,000 MP and 1,000 Stamina. Raise up your Intent to call upon your weapon, no matter how far it has gone to nor in which dimension it is trapped into. As long as you can call upon it, it will come back to you either by flying, levitating or simply being sent directly towards you. Currently, you cannot aid a weapon to cross through the Regional borders, dimensions nor space.
At the same time, Tongqiu felt as if the pair Light-Absorbing Flaming Gladius, his old pals; always had had a warmth that he didn't realized of until now. And as his right hand was free and empty, that warmth covered his entire body starting from the center of his palm. Then, as if it was more than obvious, the Light-Absorbing Flaming Gladius started to go back towards him even though it was more than 70 meters away from him!
Bvreee-VwlshtBvreee-VwlshtBvreee-VwlshtBvreee-VwlshtBvreee-Vwlsht!
Whoose~...THUD.
Not without, making another little massacre, of course. Once Tongqiu took back his precious old pal, he smiled to the fact that it seemed to make even more contact with him.
Tiling~.
At the same time, the left-handed Light-Absorbing Flaming Gladius also moved and glinted on to take Tongqiu's attention, making him realize of his obvious, envious and anticipated intentions.
Now, with the use of his melee weaponry... he should be able to use Transient Divine Burst, heal himself up while killing enemies even when sending off his gladiuses should be counting as no longer melee weaponry.
And even the best part was, since he 'got rid' of his state of wielding a weapon by sending them off to sow lives, he could take out his Short Azure Wind Bow and make a fiesta of even more volley of arrows coming down everyone's head!
This way, he won't be as limited in his movements while being surrounded by so many of these fuckers!
Naturally as well, even if Tongqiu's HP went way down because of the extensive use of Transient Divine Burst, he would still heal lots and lots when deactivating it, activating Combustion instead and healing up all of the damage he could ever do with the AOE of each of his arrows.
Win, win, win and win situation!
"Yohooo! Big Brother Wo-aah, ahem. Big Bro is stronger!" Ignoring Little Zyv's cheering from the side as her voice went crispy and immortal fairy-like, making players around dizzy and stupid, Tongqiu sent off his old pals, took out his Short Azure Wind Bow, activated all the particles from Cosmo Omega Shot and activated Combustion while shooting to the sky Falling Rain Arrows until a few dozen went up.
Cosmo Omega Shot!
Combustion!
Equals, terror!
-72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216, -72,216...
Instantly after, though some of his arrows were deflected and prematurely activated from some projectiles and skills from the Hundred Flowers Hall players, because of the fact that these small arrows were designed to bypass the naked eyed of a person until it was too late, many of those preemptive projectiles and skills failed miserably and only added to the terror of seeing those domes in the air open up to the imminent future of their disintegrating bodies.
Naturally, as Tongqiu had a devilish small grin on the corner of the left side of his mouth, he ignored all the following notification of almost ten thousand players dying at once without a single one of those trapped in the scope of his few dozen of arrows, surviving.
'Ah, it felt good.' Indeed, to launch several skills and to kill several hundred people into an almost astonishing and unbelievable number of ten thousand peo-ahem-players, was much better in comparison to a mage class player deleting mobs of their level when farming Experience.
Another 20 minutes later, Tongqiu and company cleared out the area that was before a nice, humble village with a few dozen houses and large farmlands.
. . .
"..." In silence, Tongqiu witnessed the clear sight of the unnecessary trouble that 'Journeyers' alone could call upon just for the sake of benefit and fame. He pouted his lips slightly while wearing an expressionless face before taking Little Rosey with his still transformed right pitch-black, dark-like abyss hand and those claw-like nails that were simply dangerous to even look at yet still had a delicate feeling that even Tongqiu wouldn't want to meet someone with such a 'weaponry' himself.
Rosey was previously tugging at his tight Great Petal Armor suit, which was strange considering it was really tight; nevertheless, with her expression being a little saddened by his silent demeanor, Tongqiu didn't force himself a smile as he brought her little body on the top of his palms in front of his face.
Tilting his head slightly to the left, he hummed slightly to the touch of Little Rosey's body hugging his face once again. He could only see two stems with a red, bright petal at the top of each stem, while a little sprout was timidly peeking out from the top of her head.
Tongqiu spoke towards the little thing plastered on his face with a tender, soothing voice: "Little Rosey, you're growing. I'm glad. Soon, you and I will be able to pay back whoever harmed you and your Masters, alright?"
"Brr, brr." Nuzzling her cute cheeks against Tongqiu's and his nose, Little Rosey responded quietly to his comforting words as if also trying to comfort him in turn.
"Eh, can I? I also want to have all my body on my Big Brother's face..."
Tongqiu: &€!¡#@¡¬@/#@!&!ª!!\
Rosey: ???
Zyv: ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
. . .
After having cleaned up the no-longer village's territory. Tongqiu and company went back forwards, not running in a quick sense of anxiety and under pressure but walking. They were not going fast in case they were once again encircled by the Hundred Flowers Hall or any other player for that account, at all. Walking, they showed that, may as they come, may as they die.
There were still some players from the Hundred Flowers Hall and those without an Association that were close-by, approximately a kilometer and a few hundred meters away. The thing is, though Tongqiu didn't care any longer and was fed up with being LV59, he would rather waste his time finding the solution to that and not to kill more players. On the other hand, they also served to be free-broadcasters without having to pay them off, so that they could show the world his non-caring attitude for the damage.
Also, his pocket was filled with even more gold coins. Tongqiu and company killed 58,096 players in this 'small' skirmish. He could easily count them by reading his unique, class-given mysterious 'task'.
*PING*... host's current 'mystery' task progression: [Players killed 94,851/10,000], reach the current milestone to receive an unique reward. Thanks to your 'Evil Saint' class, this feature has been unlocked!
Yet, though that stunning number of 58,069 would be good gold with each player giving 80 gold coins, Tongqiu obviously did not kill every single one of the by himself. So, from the 58,069 players killed in this -once again- 'small' skirmish, Tongqiu dealt with 38,908 players himself, which granted him a still whopping amount of 3,112,640 gold coins.
And with his previous amount of gold coins minus the payment made to his maids and his beautiful assistant/secretary Yona, his current balance was of 6,138,370!
Phew! That wasn't a small sum, even for the Founding Clans, making three million credits in an hour could be considered genius and impossible. Let alone in less than half an hour.
And so, they marched, slowly; onwards to the north.
. . .
Tongqiu and Zyv have been walking around for about 2 hours already, their journey wasn't going to be easy nor simple, as it took them quite some days before, it would similarly happen again but... At such a point, there was not a need to run since the only possible problem was to find another Association or two. And even if they got tired mentally from the fighting, Tongqiu wouldn't mind exposing his White Space as long as he could have him and Zyv save.
Rustle~.
At this moment, Tongqiu who was just now acting relaxed and uncaring with a 'sleeping' Rosey on his left shoulder and a sightseeing Zyv watching the plains from afar, suddenly reacted by arching his back with his waist sticking out.
Swish!
As a yellow spearhead went through where his head was positioned just half a second ago, Tongqiu grabbed the shaft that commenced right below the spearhead before it could even continue to lunge at Zyv's seemingly 'ignorant' body.
Whoosh-PA!
With a fierce, quick swipe of his left arm, Tongqiu slapped towards the nearest rock by hitting the ambusher directly on the left side of their face. The rock that was poorly assaulted, 25 meters away from Tongqiu's position. In a 2 seconds stun effect, the Vice-Hall Master from the Hundred Flowers Hall was pinned against the rock directly after falling onto the ground.
"Ugghh, bastard. I dare you!" With a venomous words did she uttered those three last words, Tongqiu felt something off and soon, he find out the reason.
This little girl he had seen since almost 10 km away hiding patiently, perfectly and scarily to the side finally came out. Even though he could not see the person who was being enshrouded by a dark and purple paint-like plastered cover above her being, who else could have such unique and one-of-a-kind peculiarity but the previous Hundred Flowers Hall Vice-Hall Master?
And now, seeing the girl's azure eyes turn venomous and puffy-red, Tongqiu, for some reason; guided his free right hand towards the young woman's pitiful pelvis while his left forearm was strangling her neck by almost crushing it right away. Not that it would do more than just do damage since the system doesn't grant 'free' CC all the time.
Sash's eyes went calmer, indifference overtaking the glint of life that was supposed to be in everyone's one's eyes.
But, merely an inch from reaching her body, her intimate body. Tongqiu stopped his right hand from diving deeper, turning his head to look at the azure-eyed young beautiful woman with a body that emanated sexiness and desire from any being alive. Yet, to Tongqiu, she seemed to instead be filled with pain.
Cr-cr--crack.
"Hmm..." Looking up at the sky, Tongqiu could swear to have seen his old known, the white and purple thunder crack up in the sky slightly ever more powerfully until it began to ease off as Tongqiu retracted his right hand from her pelvis area.
"A little threatening, don't you think?" Speaking like that towards the young woman who reeked of self-loathing, desperation and suicidal longing. Tongqiu couldn't help but remember her previous actions.
'Ah, wasn't I as venomous like that when I started embracing myself in the killing of my first NPC humans in-game? Heh heh heh heh.' Seeing the wicked, self-depreciation smug smile on Tongqiu's face, she thought to herself that he would sooner fall to the typical desire of men and end up trying to 'take her' by surprise.
Yet, Tongqiu let her go before calling out to Zyv. To all of this, Rosey remained 'sleeping' as she even had an enormous bubble form from her left nostril who only continued to expand to a certain limit with each of her nose blowing off some air.
'Eh... what now...'
"Zyv!! What's so interesting out there?! Prepare for a quick run, let me just grab my things!" Yelling at the Little Zyv who was looking in the opposite direction from where he had sent the Vice-Hall Master Sash towards and remaining in one place obediently waiting for him, Zyv was suddenly jolted greatly at Tongqiu's screaming. Turning around to look at her big bro in confusion, she muttered while scrunching up her nose and eyebrows a little: "What's up with that? Didn't even had the balls to eat me up in the wild, now we even got a new pet, grrr~."
Ignoring and remaining speechless at Zyv's oh so audible commentary by not only himself but also for Sash, Tongqiu deliberated on whether or not to bring up this 'hostage' with him.
"What's your name?" Finally, after a long and arduous couple of seconds, Tongqiu asked the no longer stunned Vice-Hall Master with clear curiosity in a casual tone.
"..."
"Talk or I give you to Zyv."
As if being given a signal to act, the already close to them from approaching- Zyv, clawed out and her hidden cherished new additions and emitted aggressive yet soft and adorable growls.
"Grrrwrwlll-lrwrrr."
"Pf-..." Almost laughing it out loud, Sash then woke up to her exceeding surprise at the sudden sensation of laughing that she's always been alienated to...
Clap!
"Mm, well. Whatever, Rosey darling, please tie her up." Making a clap with his hands abruptly, Tongqiu then scratched Little Rosey's below her chin and after a few faked 'waking up' sounds, she then stood up with full energy to look at the unbelievably sexy tragic young woman.
"Brr, brrr~!" Right after, she lowered her body to the ground while crawling on Tongqiu's body, acting all cutesy and girl-attracting at the instant of becoming aware that her big brother was for real...
Indeed, as soon as she started acting cute, another woman's eyes went dilated almost at full while her heartbeat was momentarily stagnated. To this new feeling, Sash felt like it was a jab getting her heart as she usually did when growing up since childhood.
'Ah, can't stop acting naughty for just a moment, eh?' Feeling the reproach from her big brother, Rosey stopped acting as she then jumped from his shin to the ground and, before Sash could react with her equally unbelievable perception and whatnot; endless amounts of roots soared to the sky to a two-people's height before drowning the new addition entirely.
Rosey, Myriad Thorny Roots!
Slap.
"Ah! Aaa-" Before her shrill scream could effectuate completely, she was silenced by a beautiful, verdant green leaf that Rosey made a quick jump and a 360º before slapping her in the mouth with it to shut her up, without harming her of course.
With all of her body tightly covered by roots and only her head from her lips up and with only her chin being free of any roots; Tongqiu carried her princess style and stopped for a moment to look at the sky.
Tongqiu could, once again, swear that he not only saw the blinding purple and white thunder crack in the bright sky again but that he could even make out a frowning 'face' from the sky as well.
"Well, that's weird- RWSEWW!" As Tongqiu was talking with his mouth stupidly open while looking at the sky, Rosey used her insufferably higher Movement Speed and reaction speed to equally harmlessly slap Tongqiu in the mouth with a leaf to shut him the fucking hell up!
"Yiyiyaya, btrrrrr-tr-tr-trrrr-rrr." Cracking herself up, Rosey rolled on the ground for 2 solid seconds when suddenly stopping in shock when seeing Tongqiu shamelessly steal Sash a kiss with both their mouths covered with leaves.
"!!!!!"
Truly shocked and thunderous, Sash made her will to let lightning fall at once!
"..."
"..."
Yet, as Tongqiu didn't separated them both from their 'kiss', Sash finally saw that Tongqiu was defiantly and devilishly giving her glances. This only served to fuel flames into her azure eyes as she became speechless and hopeless, even the system was giving up on her!
A little tear went off from her right eyes as her already calming down puffy-red lacrimals began puffing up once again.
"Mpah, ah-oh~, sorry sorry. I just wanted to try my luck." As Tongqiu said so, he looked up in the sky once again, the sky was clear but that alone served to send him a message that 'this offense will only be forgiven once' and that there would be no other after it.
Tongqiu had already become slightly apprehensive of the strange 'warnings' from the 'invisible' thunder up in the sky but, thanks to it he didn't do something that he so much hated to even hear others mention 'in jokes'.
Even then... ah, she was a beauty, alright? Tongqiu might no go and rape people to get them 'evangelized' into his own little group or something, but he did not become a gentleman out of nowhere, hence why he did end up succumbing to the helpless and vulnerable beauty before him.
So, when Tongqiu saw her tear because of his brazenness, he tried to amend it by drinking up her sorrow in exchange.
Gulp, gulp, gulp...
As she adverted her eyes while being carried by Tongqiu towards the road, she felt that the roots were-although tight as fuck and seemingly indestructible-actually very flexible and non-harmful to her skin even, at all. This was, not because of Rosey's skill but because of Rosey's intentions instead.
And while Sash was mesmerized at the fact, she felt a pair of tempting, itchy and meaty manly lips prickle at her cheeks, below her jaw and even her eyes themselves; namely her lacrimals.
"Whw-w-w-what! Stop?" Frowning as a shadow moved from left to right when still going at 'it', Sash became a little confused, her eyes changing into a pleased sight unbeknownst to herself.
"Uh, yeah, just one moment. It's my bad, I know. I'll just clean you up." Tongqiu responded while making slightly sour expressions which, after a while, changed into a pleased one as if her tears became either sweet or because they were becoming warmer instead, for some reason.
"Wuuu... can you just stop? It... it hurts."
"Not it doesn't, let me see. Bah! I've seen women speak those words with authenticity, you can't fool me!"
"..."
Gulp, gulp. gulp.
After an awkward silence, Tongqiu continued.
Sash on the other hand, resigned to fate.
. . .
"Okay, ready, all?"
"Yup!" Zyv answered first with a 'knowing' smiling face, she had decided to remain silent as Tongqiu 'played with another girl' in front of her. Of course, Zyv wasn't a normal girl and, besides knowing the art of heart-reading, she also knew their smelss. Of the emotions, feelings, thoughts and desires so...
"Brrrrr!" An excited Rosey responded with clear anticipation instead.
"..." A silenced Sash did her job as remaining silent.
"O-ahem-okay, I'll start now, then." Blinking a bit embarrassingly, Tongqiu then proceeded to cover the young girl and the young woman alike before Rosey timely choose to use Bloodine.
Rosey, Bloodline!
Once again, Tongqiu felt the immense rush of his blood burn hotly, as he then shot forwards once the shocked and baffled Sash realized that she was seemingly being 'touched' all over by Tongqiu!
"MMmmmmmMMMMMM!!!"
Movement Speed, 299%!
Craaack-PAH.
The 'diminute' sound of Tongqiu and company's bodies being suddenly sent at impossible levels of speed sounded out, yet, that same 'diminute' sound spanned over a few tens of thousands of kilometers around.
And as Tongqiu made that ferociously law-bending initial dash, after an initial total silence that seemed to have drought any type of sound completely, the entire area 1 km around where Tongqiu was just standing was instantly incinerated like a meteorite had passed by at their 'regular' speed.
. . .
Days passed, with the addition of Zyv's Rise of the Ancestral Race converting into a wolf that could move to at the same speed as hers yet was better than even taking a horse, as well as the constant use of Rosey's skill, Bloodline. After 6 uses of Bloodline, they would wait for 35 minutes until Rosey's usages reset completely before using another 6 yet again.
If Rosey was a your 'typical' Legendary graded pet, she would've been exhausted from it, yet, just as there was no mention of it from the skill's description; Rosey wasn't tired even after using that 6-tries-rest method three times every day.
Knowing that Rosey had, yet once again, been fooled by Rosey; Tongqiu shook his head and threw Rosey up in the air as a form of 'punishment'. That day, peace went back to Sash as she came to know what being together meant. Not that Tongqiu was a great example, his short answers and silent demeanor was an obvious no no to this realization of hers. It was, but the two little fellows accompanying him that made him seem alive. Zyv with her innuendos and horniness; Rosey, her naughtiness, playfulness and adoration for Tongqiu. She couldn't tell, at least not perfectly; but if Sash was able to understand Rosey's meanings, she would've discovered that in fact, both -Zyv and Rosey- call Tongqiu the same manner.
That manner in which she has never been called, and could never call someone in the same way nor manner.
'Big Brother'.
After the initial day when Tongqiu first took this 'hostage' along with him, at the moment of logging off, he brought her to his White Space with the intention of bringing her along and not losing her instead she managed to cut herself free from the roots. Besides, two NPCs with power that exceeded what even Tongqiu thought possible were more than enough to 'take care' of such a little nothing of a 'Journeyer' such as Sash.
On the other hand, everytime she logged back on, the roots binding her would go away. So each time that Tongqiu logged back on as well, Rosey would tie her up completely, but after the fifth day, her mouth was free from then onwards. Nothing wrong with letting a young woman chat, right?
Slowly but awkwardly, Tonkia and Irllytia came to know this trouble young woman, while Tornyllia took her distance instead. Her gaze upon Sash was of that of a rival keeping an eye on a competitor.
As for their trip, it was peaceful, really. No sane player would give up on the tryout of taking the previous god player of Rising Essence, even the noobs and brand new incoming playerbase that weren't even LV30 were crazily going after Tongqiu; blindingly. It was fun, for them, until it was not and became boring so they stopped doing it altogether. Even other Associations have given up, while the Hundred Flowers Hall became messy, chaotic and fucking useless without their 'slut' around. Kernti Rilu despaired, that's for sure. After all, his obsessed and lust-driven longing for his sister... had disappeared!
Not just inside the game, the same day that she was seemingly taken, his sister disappeared in real life as he was still in the game buying other female players for a few tens of thousands of gold coins each. By the time Rilu announced this to the Kernti Founding Clan, the Clan barely cared as they did a slow and lazy search but, after a few days of no results... The Kernti Clan was once again put into shame as soon as the main bloodline of the current Kernti Clan was noticed of this, yet, there was not a way for them to 'punish' this insubordinate tree-branch from the main branch. So the disappearance of one of the most recognized and famous young women on New Earth, disappeared in silence to the unknown of the Kerntis and of the whole world.
Naturally, since Tongqiu wasn't seen as he traveled at great speed and even as world traveled far between NPCs; namely the villagers and townsfolk, but also other important NPCs such as... the City Lord of the Precious Citrine Main City. Which had not implemented a tax of 30,000 gold coins per player every day... It was at that moment that players, 'Journeyers', finally remembered Tongqiu's video and after some guessing, speculations arose once again. Some were 'NPCs at a powerful level can hear the system's announcements too!' and 'NPCs had always known who we are!'. But anyways, that was something for Lotion Lost to talk about, uncaring Tongqiu gave no fuck.
In any case, as they; namely Tongqiu, Zyv and Sash traveled through villages, towns and even small cities, they were welcomed with open hearts and arms while Sash received begrudging and hostile gazes. In a manner of fast, quickness and smoothness, they were granted scrolls that sent them towards the north farthest away settlement. Even then, they had to move to a certain proximity to be able to make those specialized scrolls to work. Nevertheless, Tongqiu felt grateful and gave some gold coins to each settlements, as well as because of guilt of course.
6 days went by really fast, and thanks to the previously mentioned manner in which they traveled, the three of them arrived at the Regional border of the Wonder Region's Precious Citrine Sub-Division in the north.
And as the howl of a prideful, haughty wolf resounded, the hopes of the players from the Precious Citrine Sub-Division and the Wonder Region altogether, fell.
...
Let It Rain's Note: Okay, a couple more and the last of second volume comes to be! I'm very excited, I'll see if I can hold my horses to deliver these few last chapters altogether ^_^.
Also, tomorrow 10 chapters release~!
