Shining Duos

"Hey, by the way, I didn't ask before but how are you two feeling about your first kill?" Kazami after taking everything from the three mercenaries froze their corpses in a large ice cube and then smashed them leaving no indications that they even followed them.

The trio gained 200 blue crystal-like stones which he identified as blue jade crystals and what is used for currency. Their nascent weapons and a low-level blue space ring which they used to store their profits in. The ring was 200 square feet in length and already had all of the blue jade crystals in it.

They acknowledged it as a fitting profit particularly the blue space ring which the plump woman kept very hidden on her body and now he was moving the monster corpse to where no would see it on the outskirt of the grass cave while also checking in on the two girls.

"Well to be honest for me maybe it was because of the adrenaline I only felt my blood plumping for more action." Kuzumi only had a light smile while telling this.

"For me, I just felt as if it was doing a job nothing more and nothing less as I know this won't be our only kill." Lun Yuo indifferently explained not feeling that complex after the battle.

"Alright then let's go and explore this call, shall we? I reckon there presumably another reason people are avoiding this cave but I doubt it'll be a difficulty for us." After he finishes hiding the corpse for later the trio went deeper in the cave and all they could observe was pure pitch-black darkness.

"Seriously this is where that beast stayed in for all this time? And to add on it's kind of cold with a foul stench here, can't I at least light a small flame to see where the hell is anything." Kuzumi was sensing around the cave and found nothing special or threatening to them so she proposed the idea to the others.

Shrugging Kazami nodded and lighting up a single blue fire on her tip the first thing the trio notice was a dried up green liquid trail they were walking over.

"Say I think we might've just found our first treasure! Hopefully, there no hidden demonic beast at the end of this trail." Quite excited and a bit wary Lun Yuo was keen to find whatever that was on the end.

"Right but let's move slowly and quietly as possible now," Kazami told them and as they were tentatively walking a green flash was constantly hitting their faces.

Getting more courageous they continued right on until they stumble upon a huge cliff that leads to nowhere but what they saw fully now was a harsh glare of a green shine in the darkness.

"Ugh, is it just me or do you guys also feeling nauseated right now." Holding her stomach Lun Yuo looked as if she was about to heave.

"Ah, shit yeah I think it's tha-"

'Thud!'

Right, when Kazami was talking abruptly the green shine approached them at insane speed and dropped right in front of them.

"ACK!"

They all gagged and forced themselves to jump away from this strange green stone. The stone wasn't large had what it look like a sickly phantom green eye in it and was producing some sort of strange liquid under it.

Although despite the excruciating odor from the stone Lun Yuo and Kuzumi sensed nothing else but that stone. Though Kazami wrinkled his eyebrows.

Preparing to walk over towards the stone Kuzumi was about to say something when Kazami had in an instant sense something and activated his divine powers in full blast, grabbing Kuzumi and Lun Yuo rushing back to where they came.

He even activated his red lightning-ice aura for extra speed but;

'BANG!'

"Argh!"

They slammed into what it felt like a stone wall despite only seeing the darkness in front of them.

Kuzumi and Lun Yuo quickly got up wanting to question what the hell was he doing but was cut off when Kazami said;

"No time! Activate your divine powers and we fuse NOW!"

Hearing the gravity in his voice, the girls similarly unleashed their divine powers in full blast and quickly lined up with each other.

Then while they were preparing to blast through they head a terrifying horrific voiced they disturbed them to their soul.

"Awwww, I just wanted to greet you guys since you killed my little pet. Seems like the God Realms are making some great little boys if you can sense me from so far away..."

This was all it took for Kazami to bit his tongue and jolt himself awake and grabbing the girls hand again he forced a rush fusion of their three powers.

'Ka-Cha!'

Like grass breaking, they broke through whatever barrier that was blocking them and crashed right in front of the cave.

"See you around heheh..."

The trio struggled to get up and they all coughed out blood from hastily starting and fusing their divine powers and from breaking through that barrier.

"Just. What. The. Hell. WAS THAT!" Kuzumi screamed while still on her knees coughing and feeling sore throughout her whole body.

All of them felt as it death just grazed their necks and without Kazami rushing or their divine powers, they surely would've died.

"I have no idea what was that thing but it somehow knew Kazami was from the God Realm and probably knows we hail from there too. I can only take it as a bad omen for this planet." Lun Yuo was desperately attempting to rationalize whatever the hell just happen, still feeling a bit of apprehension.

"One thing for sure that monster wasn't the main reason people are probably avoiding this cave. It's whatever that thing was. Well, for now, we're far too weak to even think about that thing we'll rest up and continue to the city to sell this corpse and finish resting up there." Kazami told them and was sitting down resting trying to Qi back into order.

"But brother how were you able to sense that thing when we couldn't, it's not like you have that much greater spirit sense than ours," Kuzumi asked him.

"It was well, I don't know I think my divine powers gave me a feeling to run and my body just reacted on instinct. I honestly can't find an exact reason why."

"Haah, no point in worrying over it now let's just take the corpse rest outside for a bit and head on to Kelp city." Lun Yuo suggested and getting up she took the corpse while the twin followed her outside and started to relax while still thinking back on that terrifying existence.

'Our mission isn't as simple as it seems.' Kazami thought and became even more cautious about the dangers that lie ahead of them.
