My Own Path: The Red Phoenix
Ch 36 – Vargas the Blood Warrior
‘Oh no’ saw Ashura Claude's expression swearing, “Uncle you don't joke with me, how can I survive with this body odor” if it's only one or two days Claude might still be able to endure it.
But when Claude imagined how long it would take him to remove the Armor, as long as he would be tormented by his own body odor, Claude shuddered in horror.
“Haha, so like this yes, the feeling of my teacher when I used to teach me” Ashura laughed out loud – bahak.
“Uncle!!!”
“Oh you still do not understand” Ashura glanced towards Claude “It also includes the risks that you must feel when practicing using Mendelth set Armor, which is also one of the risks that you must feel when practicing using Mendelth set Armor, my advice is start learning to get used to your body odor hahaha” Ashura walk away.
Claude made can't say – words, wanted to feel Claude swearing, but he knew it was useless, wanted to cry he was too embarrassed, which obviously from now on Claude had to learn to control his nose.
At nightfall, Claude was already sitting upright under a tree concentrating on absorbing the Crystal Soul in his grasp, as Claude entered his first day of practicing his sense of smell.
The night quickly passed, no strange events occurred, Claude calmly absorbed the Soul Crystal adding a little progress in his realm as well as strengthening his Shadow Spirit.
While Ashura guarded the area where Claude was practicing, keep watch – if there are a bunch of bandits who accidentally pass by and disturb them, at once Ashura also stood guard from the Wild Beast who moved more actively at night.
If there was one strange thing was, when Ashura found two people moving quickly towards the mysterious area where the bandits were staying, but since these two people were not bothering, Ashura ignored their existence, and it seemed that they were also unaware of Ashura's whereabouts.
The morning came, as it was yesterday Claude restarted the series of exercises requested by Ashura, without any drama whining little boy Claude tried to get used to what he would live a few weeks, he said, or a few months ahead.
Seeing the obedient Claude today, made Ashura astonished, but Ashura did not ask further, Ashura only gave directions and input for Claude's training.
Even by lunchtime Claude did not complain much.
Because the Grey Wolf meat that was left yesterday is still a lot, Claude again grilled the meat – meat, the difference this time Claude did not distinguish the cuisine.
“Tumben once you shut up and become a submissive like this?” Ashura asked in wonder.
“Hmm I was once a submissive uncle, the proof is that I can be tricked into wearing this Armor by you, right?”
“You still haven't received it?”
“No uncle, I've made peace with my own fate, therefore I was obedient like this” Claude replied flatly.
“Well good, if you've received the reality”
“I'll try uncle”
The atmosphere again became quiet, it was strange that something wrong had happened in the mind of this boy named Claude, that was what Ashura felt now, but Ashura herself did not know what the mistake was.
While the awkward atmosphere felt by Ashura and Claude, it was different from the atmosphere experienced by Tan Qiang and Wen Qi.
“Master Tan, Miss Wen where is the existence of a noble carriage that he said holds a lot of gold in it,? even until noon did not look at the slightest snout of their horses!” an upright man with a stocky body asked in a high tone, looks like this man's patience is starting to thin.
“Forcuse us Mr. Vargas, according to our informant, they should have left earlier this morning, and should have been since earlier they passed this path” Tan Qiang gave an explanation.
“Then what are you waiting for, immediately contact your informant and ask what has happened, if I don't get an answer right away I'm sorry if I have to chop off your heads as my dissatisfaction fee” Vargas barks back, this time he needs an explanation.
Hearing that remark Tan Qiang swallowed his own saliva, Tan Qiang was aware with his own strength, if he fought fair with Vargas, Tan Qiang was confident he would win it.
But Vargas who he now faced was a bandit leader named Blood Skull, it was common to fight against bandits so do not expect a fair fight, whether it is in the crackle, or not, using a secret weapon, or poison these bandits can do all that.
There was no honor in their view, all they thought about was the treasure and satisfaction they could obtain regardless of whatever way they were.
Therefore, Tan Qiang was currently only able to bow his head and obey Vargas' every utterance.
“Wen Qi, what are you doing, quickly contact Lim, and ask why the information of that idiot shinobi is inaccurate” Tan Qiang whispered to Wen Qi
“Why should I contact Lim, why should I obey your orders, here we are equivalent not I give the order here, you should contact Lim”
“Hey miss is spoiled, do you not understand the situation now, I am trying to calm Vargas, can't you help me contact Lim” Tan Qiang started to get annoyed with Wen Qi's attitude.
“No, you just do it yourself” Wen Qi is still adamant.
“You ... What if Vargas loses his temper, we both are bound to be finished soon, have you forgotten what kind of man we are dealing with?” Tan Qiang was still whispering.
“Do you think I'm stupid, I know of course, but for what I'm afraid, I can still go whatever the situation is, you should be scared, so immediately you follow all the requests of that person” Wen Qi chuckles behind his fan that always covers his face.
“You don't care about me?”
“For what I care about you”
“You are not ..”
“Are you guys done discussing !!” vargas' heavy voice echoed in tandem with a powerful aura coming out of his body, cutting off Tan Qiang's remark “Now I demand an explanation from the two of you, if you can't temper my anger, you can't temper me, don't blame me for acting more to you guys”
Never once in his life was Vargas made to wait for something uncertain, so when today he was faced with an event like this, Vargas would never tolerate it.
Vargas would be nice to an ally who appreciates and gives him an advantage, but just one time that ally makes him disappointed Vargas will not hesitate –, just like this time, just like this time, Vargas intended to finish off Tan Qiang and Wen Qi which he thought had disappointed him and the Blood Skull.
But before Vargas made a move, Tan Qiang took out a vibrating Sound Stone from his pocket.
“Thank God” Tan Qiang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Sound Stone was Lim's.
“Lim, you almost killed me” Tan Qiang immediately cursed after connecting Sound Stone in his hand.
“Oh really? Then my mistake was calling you too soon” heard Baron Lim's voice chuckling across there.
“You ... ”
“It's been, if Vargas is there too, let him also hear what I'm going to say”
“Ya” Tan Qiang short answer “Master Vargas, Baron Lim wants to talk to you”
“Vargas you can hear me, well for the deal this time it has happened something unexpected, the train failed to leave this morning, chances are they will leave tomorrow morning, he said, but you take it easy tomorrow morning I alone will ensure their departure”
“As for my negligent confirmation today, I will immediately send it to the Blood Skull headquarters, I hope you can understand and still trust me as your partner”
“Alright for this time alone I will ignore your negligence, but you have to remember there is no other time” Vargas emphasizes his voice “I'll wait for your confirmation” Vargas snorts and lowers the aggressive aura he had released.
Likewise with the other bandits, seeing Vargas calm down they also released their aggressive aura.
“There is no more reason for us to wait here, we should go back to the headquarters, rest, and wait for what information Lim will give you tomorrow morning” Vargas send his men back.
“The two of you, come with us” Vargas did not allow Tan Qiang and Wen Qi to go part with the Blood Skull.
Amidst the journey of this group of Blood Skulls passed by a Bear Spirit Fire a bear-shaped Wild Beast with Fire Spirit stretching all the way up its head to its spine, having a level four peak.
“It so happens that my mood is bad, you came at the right time sweet bear” Vargas who previously tried to hold back his anger, now intends to vent it.
Not waiting for long, Vargas immediately dashed about swinging his greatsword, instantly giving a crushing attack on the Bear Spirit.
But Bear Spirit knew his life was being threatened, he immediately turned to dodge, and gave a counterattack but unfortunately Vargas' sword managed to scratch the Bear Spirit's body, seeing that Vargas smiled triumphantly.
Vargas put down his sword, saying softly.
“Blood Rage : Absorp”
With a flash of air around changing, within a twenty meter radius the sky turned blood red, the gripping feeling felt extremely dense, deep, this dark and gripping feeling centered on the Bear Spirit slowly losing the aura of life following with its blood coming out continuously, drawing closer to Vargas to then absorb Vargas and being nourished for his strength.
“Lezat once hahaha” Vargas laughed out loud – bahak feel the pleasure of Bear Spirit blood entering his body.
Meanwhile Vargas' aura was also felt by Ashura and Claude who were not far from Vargas' group.
“What the Blood Warrior is doing here” Ashura frowned.
