The World Of Demons And Gods

...

Two years have passed since Clair had left and have gone to the academy to become a student there.

Cyrus is finally sixteen years old, and now. His warrior rank at the middle stage had turned into [Knight Rank at Late Stage]. His appearance had changed once again; he became m.a.t.u.r.ed compared to his appearance back then. His appearance can only be described as cool yet fierce but stunning.

He already defeated Clair on becoming Knight Rank at the age of sixteen. Clair's record is that on her birthday, she was blessed by the heavens they gave her a luck to have a breakthrough to Knight Rank at Early Stage.

However, Cyrus, on the other hand, at the age of sixteen he was already in the late stage of Knight Rank!

He had beaten his sister's achievement.

However,...

At the moment, he actually didn't know what his sister's current rank now after two years of absence in this place, she also has not sent a letter to her family, although, it made Cyrus worried, his mother, Shane, told him that she was fine.

He did not even have any choice where to believe, so, he could only listen to his mother and believe that she was fine and doing well.

Nevertheless, the good news is...

What made him excited is that in the next few months, he will finally follow his sister to the academy!

Shane and James had told him that they would be following him to get there before separating from him. When he leaves in this village, it will also be the day that his parents would finally do their own task!

When Cyrus had asked them about this certain task, the couple did not respond to him by ignoring him or making excuses. Saying that it was a part of their work, and it will take a couple of years before they could finish it.

He did not know or he already felt that his parents are hiding something from him, but he did not really care about it, and he chose not pursue the matter, as it will be a hassle for him to bother it for now.

Because now… His focus had changed.

Now, he was qualified to use his martial arts freely as he retained them completely. However, still, every time he uses martial art techniques there are still some limitations when using it, but the important thing is that he had retained his martial arts at 99%

After retaining them, he focused on cultivation trying to overcome his sister on her achievements.

Now, he actually did it!

Nevertheless, he did not stop there. He continued to cultivate when he has free time.

Since his sister had left, he was always alone training in the grasslands and him, for the first time that felt that it was lonely. Where, only he could hear the winds blowing softly, trees creating sounds as it sways, and rustles of grass.

Sometimes on his break, he would lay down on this hill to take a nap and sleep. To him, it was actually really peaceful and nice.

...

His mother and father were both busy, they will always leave the village to buy goods because they preparing things before leaving the village with him.

The couple had told him that their work would take a couple of years before returning back and it was a very dangerous task, although, they are not very specific to the topic, Cyrus could obviously grasp about it.

However, what ticks him off is that they told him that he and sister might be involved and it will very hard for them to protect the two if they did not leave the village.

This made Cyrus think that his parent's task is actually difficult to handle. Moreover, what really comes to his mind is that their work is about killing or related to that.

Why would they be suddenly got involved in his parent's task? In addition, why it will be hard for them to protect him and his sister if they stayed here? Will someone come here to kill him and his sister? For what reason?

These were all the questions that Cyrus had been build up regarding his parents' task.

However, the idea of money involved is very unlikely.

........

......

....

When he finally had a breakthrough from warrior rank to knight rank, he felt that there is something inside of his body are forming something.

But he had no idea what is it, and when he enters his dantian, he could not see or sense anything weird.

The feeling he experienced was like. If he were to ask, it was heavy and electrifying. Because every time his heartbeats it would produce electricity attached to his blood and he really could feel it.

When he asked Shane about it, she was shocked and even broke a plate into dust accidentally! Because at that time, she was washing the dishes and she accidentally broke the plate because of intense shock after hearing what he had said.

His mother had told him that, the reason behind why he was experiencing that kind of feeling was his supreme elements, lightning, and his gravity mahika is activating.

It was no wonder why Shane was shocked when she heard what he had asked. Even he, who experiences the feeling of it, was terribly shocked!

He just simply could not believe it!

It was a very odd matter... even James finds it shocking.

However, they assured that everything is fine but he should not rush to have a contract with the lightning spirit or gravity spirit, but when he was about to perform lightning mahika or gravity mahika, nothing really happened.

Therefore, it was very odd for both Cyrus and his parents.

...

Currently, Cyrus is silently cultivating under the shade of the tree at the hill in the grasslands, which he now calls it training ground. His cultivation speed has been a lot slower than before and it keeps getting harder every time he had a breakthrough.

Even by doubling the process of absorbing the anima on the surrounding, it'll take few years to had another breakthrough to paladin rank, he estimated that it would take another three or five years to have a breakthrough...

Inside his dantian, he looked at the river where anima is being stored.

"Hmm... It is now a shallow river and my anima is flowing around my dantian now, back then, it is more like a shallow pond than a river." He muttered as he kneeled down and touched his anima.

Actually, although it may look like a liquid and can be touched, it is more like a mist, no, a smoke if one touched it. It is bizarre to feel as Cyrus describes it.

While looking on the flowing anima, Cyrus muttered to himself silently, "Hmm, I had been cultivating on the grasslands for thirteen years now and mother had told me that, nature's essence here in the surrounding is almost depleted and it'll take time before it could return back to normal."

"I woke up at five to go here to cultivate. Then return at noon after eating, and came here to either train or continue to cultivate. It has been my routine when big sis had gone left."

"It is no wonder, that my absorbing rate here is practically really slow. I think I should find another place to cultivate. The higher the elevation the better the quality of essence I absorb." With a sigh, he stood up thinking what to do.

Suddenly, he felt that his c.h.e.s.t is stinging in pain.

He looked on his c.h.e.s.t, and then touched the area where the Yinyang tattoo is located.

"The area around the tattoo had been hurting a lot, I don't know what is happening, but, when there is a thunderstorm and a lightning bolt struck the ground. It felt like my entire body was having a d.e.s.i.r.e to have it... it feels like that I need to acquire another power..." He muttered as he tightly clutches his hands to his c.h.e.s.t.

However, for now...

...

Cyrus slowly stood up and looked around the grasslands. He was finding a mountain, which is closer to the village so that his parents would not be worried about him too much.

"That one." He said to himself as he pointed to the mountain a few kilometers away from the outside of the village. It is a very high and rocky mountain, although it was still far off to reach the clouds and like Cyrus had said, the higher the better quality of anima.

Without saying anything, he set his destination there and leaped at his max speed to get there fast.

...

It took him half an hour to arrive at the top of the mountain, he could see the village very clearly in this place, and humans who are walking on the roads are like ants to his eyes.

Damn, this mountain is really steeper than I had thought... Cyrus bitterly smiled.

"Hm? It is very cloudy again..." He muttered silently as he looked at the sky above him.

"Time to get started!" He shook his head and quickly sat on lotus position and started cultivating then he doubled the process by cultivating inside his dantian, making six senses outside at complete stop.

As Cyrus had expected, the process here was actually pretty good! He could absorb rich anima or nature's essence here fast!

He felt satisfied coming here to cultivate.

However...

Without noticing, his Yinyang tattoo has started spinning and the speed is gradually increasing.

Soon...

*Crug! Cruug! Crackle! *

The rain had started to pour, thunder's roar could be heard up above the heavens shaking the ground every time it emits its majestic load roar. The lightning streaks can be seen on the clouds as if it was dancing every time it flashes.

Cyrus YinYang tattoo was spinning at extreme speed, creating a small vortex of nature essence then being absorbed by his own body as if it was eating it madly!

On the village, one kid looked above the sky and he noticed that there is a whirlpool was created above the mountain; he called for his mother and made her look at the small vortex.

This made the mother startled, but it was very odd for her to see that as if it had never happened before.

Soon, many humans had noticed the vortex but they did not pay attention to it as they quickly enter their own houses to avoid being struck by lightning or got sick because of cold.

On the mountain, Cyrus who is sitting on lotus position had still not noticed what is happening on his body, but he had noticed that his absorption rate had suddenly jumped to an extreme rate!

If this continues... he will breakthrough paladin rank!

5%

18%

30%

60%

90%

100%!!!

He suddenly broke through! Moreover, it did not stop!

1%

2%

3%

Although it was a lot slower now, it was still extremely fast for Cyrus! Because in every one month at Knight he could only get 2%!

Yet, every second now, he gets 1%!

Feeling weird, Cyrus stopped the double process of absorbing the essence, but he was shocked when he saw that inside of his dantian. In the sky, there is a vortex of clouds and pouring a massive amount of anima on his river overflowing it.

Not only that, there is a black hole next to vortex almost absorbing 80% of the anima that had been pouring on that vortex is being s.u.c.k.e.d by that black hole, not only that the remaining percent is flowing on his river!

Suddenly, a surge of extreme pain bombarded his entire body, especially his brains.

"Guah!"

Outside, the vortex had gone terrifyingly than before!

As it was devouring a large amount of nature's essence, it almost looked like a hurricane!

Cyrus coughed a mouthful of blood and he did not stop drooling blood!

*BANG!*

With a loud bang, an extremely thick purple lightning had struck him! As if, the Gods of the heavens had angered by Cyrus atrocious actions by defying the law of the heaven! Thus giving him a divine retribution!

After being struck by lightning, everything seemed nothing as it did not affect him!

Because when the lightning that had struck him, it was being madly devoured by his Yinyang tattoo! The pillar of lightning did not dissipate as if it was giving Cyrus more essence! However, this time, it was Lightning Essence!

With that, Cyrus eyes finally abruptly opened forcefully, and he shouted in agony and pain!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

His loud and painful agony on the mountain could be heard on the villages, his roar had terrified the villagers inside the houses and on the roads, every one of them is praying for gods for the safety of their family.

...

While experiencing the most agonizing pain that he had experienced on both of his life, Cyrus could not stop his Yinyang from absorbing the lightning essence, his tears had begun to change to blood, his skin began to crack, and his fresh blood began to discharge it, creating a pool of blood on his surroundings.

"AHHHH- *Cough!* Cough!*"

He once again spat a two mouthful of blood.

He cannot control his body, as if the Yinyang tattoo had completely controlled his body as it s.u.c.k.e.d by a huge amount of lightning essence.

By forcefully s.u.c.k.i.n.g, the lightning essence of the heavens without having any oath with lightning spirit is widely known as divine taboo!

The divine punishment of such actions can be crippled for a lifetime!

Cyrus tried to suppress the pain, as he tried to make a contract with the lightning spirit above the heavens.

"IMPUDENT!!!"

A loud roar on the heaven resounded on his ears, its voice was heavy and majestic, yet there is a feeling that this spirit is a hot-blooded one!

After the loud roar, a figure descended on the heaven. It has a figure of a human but with four arms and his face is full of boiling anger! It is a lightning spirit!

On four of his hands are carrying a huge purple thick pillar of lightning and the figure leaped towards him and had struck Cyrus one more time with even much more force than before!

"WargahaaaaaH!" Shouting in another agonizing pain to the point his mouth is bubbling blood he finally loses his consciousness.

The lightning spirit had not directly struck Cyrus as he was suddenly s.u.c.k.e.d by Yinyang tattoo, without even noticing he had died inside the Yinyang turning him into a complete spirit. It roared with resentment and anger, before fading in the darkness inside the Yinyang tattoo.

With that, the Yinyang had finally decreased on spinning until it stopped completely, lightning strikes had stopped after the spirit had been s.u.c.k.e.d and the rain had stopped.

After that, Cyrus body slumped down on the pool of blood, his clothes are completely burnt, and despite being burnt his body did not have any sign of burnt as if he was resistant to heat when he had been struck by the lighting.

However, there are terrifying cracks on his back while it is with oozing blood.

If one had seen it, they would vomit because of how horrible the scene is! His appearance alone could tell that this young man is more likely dead!
