Shining Duos

Kuzumi was ready to fire off and go as she was stretching her arms and legs. Being stuck for what seemed like weeks in that cave made her incredibly antsy, wanting all the more to experience joy on this planet.

"So how long do you think it'll take us to get to Veiled city, cause I'm sure with our powers now it won't take long at all."

Lun Yuo in response walked up to her putting a hand on her shoulder as she softly smiled to her,

"Instead of rushing, how about, we take the time to casually walk to Veiled city. More than ever I want us to grow and experience our team bonds and dynamics. Plus we also have our god cloaks to make the journey that more manageable."

Staring into her eyes and hearing that oh so ever winsome soothing voice of Lun Yuo, Kuzumi falter a bit but still told her,

"Well, it's not like while walking we can't come across other people to engage with. Yes, yes! This way is also good Yu!"

Kuzumi blurted shaking Lun Yuo crazily, obviously pumped up about her own little ideas in her head.

"Yoh, it's a shame we only have that fake slaughtering god map. We always had suspicions about that fake god, and now those mythical beasts only turned him to even more of a phoney." Brenda said while bringing out the map that leads them to the beasts tomb.

"Fake slaughtering god?" Kazami said raising an eyebrow, amused by Brenda nickname for a god.

"Of course he's a fake! With weeks under my hands slaughtering is a natural sensation to me and that guy? He embodies nothing about slaughtering! Once I get strong enough, he'll be in for a sweet treat!" Finishing with a murderous feral look that would've intimidated most people, only prompted Kazami to walk over to her.

With a caring smile, he began to stroke the side of her head. And while she was in a daze, he took the map from her. Though Brenda didn't care for the map as she showed Kazami a lovely wide toothy smile leaning into his hand.

"Yoh, was my destructive spiel that really lovable? Good, that's something to note for the future."

"Who knew there would come a day where slaughtering would be something so cute and adorable. Well, only my lovable Brenda could achieve this."

Kazami sweetly told her making Brenda entire c.h.e.s.t feel warm, and seamlessly Kazami dropped the map and thrust his other hand out to the side perfectly catching Lun Yuo face who had got close to them, pulling her tenderly in front of him.

"Ah~. Is my gentle presence just that lovable you have to c.a.r.e.s.ses me~?" Lun Yuo dreamily sighed causing Kazami to tell her,

"More so, I find it lovable my cute little flower gets envious at times as well." Kazami teased causing Lun Yuo to sprout a small blush neither confirming or denying his statement.

Kuzumi, however, besides feeling a bit left out, rolled her eyes and got next to three pink worlds. She claps her hands hard in front of their faces, sending out mini harmless blue shock waves.

"Can we go already?! You can fawn on my brother as much as you can while walking!!"

Her shock waves and shout caused the three to awake from their stupor, and Kazami just patted his sister's head. Kuzumi felt a bundle of comfort from his hand but soon felt lost once he went down to pick up the fallen map.

"You do have a point Kuzumi. And Brenda even with slaughtering god hidden intentions, this map will at least point us in the right direction. This way will lead us to Veiled city while also giving us time to enjoy our journey."

Kazami has gotten the girls to look at the map as he guided his finger over a specific route to the city.

"Um, are we not going to wear our god cloaks?" Lun Yuo asked since the other three was ready to take off.

"Yu, just take a look at those two troublesome girls. Do you think they want a cloak on?"

"Haaah, you indeed have a point Kazami. My we have some delightful troubling girls we have to look after." Lun Yuo sighed exasperatedly and swiftly walked to Kazami, grabbing his arms, putting it between her ample b.r.e.a.s.ts. And right when she did, she began to walk with him like they were two a.d.u.l.t couples.

"Wait for a second-were they mocking us?!" Brenda taking a second to process what just transpired suddenly yelled out.

Although Kuzumi only slung her arms around Brenda, bringing her close as they began to walk after Kazami and Lun Yuo.

"They wouldn't dare, no they were talking about all sorts of fun the two of us will be sharing." Kuzumi finished with a broad smile which in return caused Brenda to broadly smile.

"Oooh, you're right. I can feel my body tingling for what to come."

…

Making their way through the forest, the team did have to hand it to slaughtering god for creating this specific route. It held no beasts as of yet.

Which did lead the teens to bask in their different thoughts.

Kazami was observing the little Origin Qi in the air by pouring only a little bit of power in his eyes. He was slightly enamoured watching this kind of pure Qi, and Lun Yuo big soft c.h.e.s.t served to further elevate this walk.

Lun Yuo, on the other hand, felt a warm and light connection with various shrubs trees and the occasional plant accompanying the forest.

It was like each, and every one of them had a story to tell as she closed her eyes genuinely basking at this moment.

Brenda, for her part, didn't put much thought in the forest and was instead slowly manipulating her slaughtering aura. It was like the feeling of basking in a warm sea and with Kuzumi on her Brenda thought Kuzumi would get affected.

Kuzumi, however, was only looking around the forest anticipating for something to come as long and behold,

"Rawr!" A purple-black jaguar monster beast came rushing towards them. The beast's eyes were bloodshot, and they could observe foam coming from its mouth.

Compared to how beasts usually kept themselves especially at this realm, Kazami and Lun Yuo knew something was up.

But the most significant matter was the aura and pressure of the beast exuded was at the fourth level of Ruler Transformation realm! Only if it was before Kazami and the girls would've felt danger and went all out to fight this beast.

However now, Kazami didn't raise a finger at all while Lun Yuo was only moving her finger up until,

'BANG!'

The jaguar monster had superb speed and would've quickly got next to them if it wasn't for Brenda moving even faster and plunging a white sword of Qi into its c.h.e.s.t. Kuzumi was only a second slower as she stomped on its tail as well.

The jaguar beast couldn't even groan out in pain as its mouth filled with blood from Brenda sword.

"So that's what you were testing with your slaughtering aura? Interesting effects." Kazami commented while he and Lun Yuo casually walked up to them.

Getting in the beast eyes, Lun Yuo had crouched and observed its eyes becoming even more bloodshot while its pupil spazzed out.

"Amazing, now it's like, the beast fallen to an irreversible madden state. But when it rushed us, it wasn't as frenzied as of now."

"Hm? That just because at first, its bloodl.u.s.t aroused greatly from my slaughtering aura, with its mere instinct screaming to kill us. And now hmmm, let's just say this beast is experiencing the upmost bliss of slaughtering sensations." Brenda told, still standing on the beast like it was an ant.

"I was trying to plan it out to get to it before you broke it, but your damn speed edges you out this time." Kuzumi cursed while still crushing its tail, causing Brenda to flash her a bright smile.

"There's plenty of juicy fat fishes in our vast universe ocean, you know!" Brenda attempted to reassure Kuzumi and then sliced her sword from the beast c.h.e.s.t to its head, splitting it in half.

Bloods and guts emptied out, causing Lun Yuo to leap away from the beast standing at Kazami side. She ominously smiled at Brenda, telling her,

"Dear Brenda, you're not possibly trying dirty me with this pitiful creature blood are you?"

"Y-Yo-I mean! My hands no my feet just slipped, accidents are a natural part of life!" Brenda stuttered a bit, feeling a small bit of dread suddenly. Her answered pleased Lun Yuo as she pleasantly smiled and Brenda only shook her head.

"Well then shall we go, no use in playing with a corpse." Taking the lead Kazami told them and walking from the beast, Lun Yuo flanked his left side while Brenda and Kuzumi flanked his right side.

"Oh, you know from that demonstration just now, Brenda, what was your childhood like? We got the time to talk and learn more from each other now." Kazami suddenly asked while walking, causing Lun Yuo and Kuzumi to perk up.

At most they knew about Brenda past was she had no to return home to. Yet she has the talent of those high in the god realms.

Feeling all the attention on her, Brenda merely shrugged and explained,

"Let's see I can't really remember anything before I turned six. I pretty much found everyone in my village boring, umm...the sword was something I instantly picked up on. And then once I turned seventeen I said screw this dull village and left it."

"Eh? No heartfelt emotional goodbye or anything? I'm sure you would've garner up sheep of fans." Kuzumi puzzling asked, and even before the trials, Brenda was already a heavenly beauty.

"Hmm, other people seemed to think differently. In my village the ones who took care of me immensely feared me and when I showed my talent with cultivation and the sword none of the other children had the balls to go near me. Partially because besides the one who raised me, they were all pretty weak."

Lun Yuo, in response to Brenda, created a small lovely dandelion from her fingertips and floated over to her. Brenda taking the dandelion felt it smooth and soft touch putting it in her robe as Lun Yuo told her,

"It sounds like you lived a pretty lonely life for seventeen years, but from now on, you'll have us. And by the way you sure you can't remember anything before turning six?"

Lun Yuo kind and caring words plus the dandelion did substantially warm her heart, and she also felt Kazami and Kuzumi take her hand as well. Despite herself never really caring at all about her loner of past, she did feel genuine happiness being on this team.

"Ah hmm nope. Really my first clear memory I have was waking up in that couple bed from some wild dream. I tried to ask who or what am I from the couple, but they only responded with telling me my name and how they would take care of me from now on. Although all the time no matter what they seemed to dread talking to me and always wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible. Though when I did finally left the village, they told me to come back when I'm at the peak of this world to show me a special object."

"That special is most likely related to your origins, but I'm sure you already guessed that didn't you." Kazami assumed to which Brenda nodded,

"Yep, as I said before, my place isn't on this planet, and while I'm still interested in whatever they have, we and my newfound passion are something I want to explore more." Brenda finished off with a sincere tone which got Lun Yuo to giggle softly,

"Ahh, how cute Brenda. Still, once we finish everything on this planet, we'll take a trip to your birthplace cause I'm positive that special object holds the key." Brenda didn't put much thought before, but even she felt a little anticipation on whether or not she could find her real parents.

"Yoh, so what about you three? Are you all some kind of high-class god realm family?" Brenda asked them this time, and Kazami responded with,

"For Kuzumi and I, we come from a high ranking middle god realm. Our Star Family is probably the strongest in our realm and our family is good friends with Yu's, which is we were already so close with each other."

Kazami words strangely got Brenda stimulated among other things as she then said,

"God realms, god realms so many-"

"-Fresh juicy fishes there right?! I know! I was also thinking about the 'gifts' we'll give our realm when coming back!"

Kuzumi finished her statement as both of them started to bounce up in their steps. Kazami and Lun Yuo, on the other hand, rolled their eyes at Brenda and Kuzumi quickly forming and wild bond.

Yet Lun Yuo had a small smile as she sighed out to Kazami,

"We're in for long days ahead of us, and it makes me happy."
