The Heavenly Road: God Hunters

Ch33 Truth

"What's up..?!! Are you going to leave him alone..?!! What kind of comrades are you...?!!!"

Seeing the changes that had happened to him, Zaru quickly took off his horn. Prepare to stop it.

"Stop it, just let it rage. Besides, I was expecting this to happen" Flares said.

"Are you sure? That kid is really going berserk right now" Zaru said.

"True Spirit is not an ordinary thing. Of course, this will happen if you do not watch for something that can shake his soul. Right now his soul was being shaken, and it was entirely his Spirit Essence that replaced his consciousness in order to avoid fatal damage" Flares explained.

Zaru also nodded in understanding. He broke his intention and reassembled his horns.

On the other hand Helio and Gibal who were also fighting instantly felt the terrifying aura he emitted.

"How could a brat have this terrifying strength..!!!! This was even scarier than that cruel little girl...!!! Who are you guys..?!!" Gibal was surprised to see it.

Helio himself was equally surprised. Although he was sure he could defeat him who was in such a condition, but he still could not avoid his aura which could make his fighting spirit disappear.

"Eitherway. You think..?" Reply Helio with a smile.

'Fuck that boy. Right now I have to defeat him first and then I can kill him, Gibal said in his heart.

They also returned to fight. On Asta's side, he was still laughing. The goblins seemed reluctant to attack him after feeling the aura emanated madly from his entire body.

"Don't be afraid...!!! We just need to kill him..!!!"

"Don't let him get away...!!!"

"Only a Master Realm alone can't possibly survive our attacks..!!!!"

"Forward....!!!!!!!!!!"

"Strike together...!!!"

The Goblins again launched a joint attack on him. But the moment the attack was within a meter of him, the energy or arrow attacks and others instantly scorched away.

"Hahahaha....!!! Again...!!! Again..!!!" He shouted loudly.

Seeing one of the many attacks they launched had no effect on him, making their fighting spirit less.

"Ahh, fuck. Looks like I'm running out of time. It's good to see you, old friend, my brave student" he told Helio.

As soon as Asta was back to being the same as before, the tattoo that covered his entire body disappeared. Leave what's in both hands.

Hearing the words Asta said made Flares grow shocked. "It's impossible,"

It was a moment when he saw the smiling Goblins watching him. Some even drooled.

Tears seemed to drip from his eyes signifying his regret. He was not sad just to feel that he could never come back.

Seeing Asta who had returned like all made Helio a little calm. But when he saw Asta who was pensive in the middle of the fight made him a little worried. He only hoped the two would save him when he was in an emergency situation.

"What's up..? Do you want to save him.. Hahaha.... End the boy's history now" Gibal said.

"Looks like you're overconfident." replied Helio.

Asta raised his head back. Looking at the Goblins in front of him.

"Julah. I'll definitely beat you all,"

Asta also returned to fight against them even without improvement techniques. Although it seemed that Asta had only avoided their attacks. Without retaliating even if he had the chance.

Fighting without the techniques of the Fire Flame Warfare and its Transformational form earned him several attacks all over his body. Asta was lying on the ground.

Teeth chattering. He really felt upset. But he also felt unable to attack. The previous sight was still in his mind.

"Master. Are we going to keep leaving it like that..?" Tanya Zaru looked at Asta's apprehensive condition.

"Leave it. An eagle so big must kill its own prey. If we help him, it's the same as hindering his development" Flares said.

Zaru nodded and re-enjoiced the fight.

Asta closed his eyes. 'Wake up, wake up. You're not a coward who's afraid of killing. Those who deserve to be killed should indeed be killed, Asta murmured in his heart.

A moment later, Asta opened his eyes again. Avoiding an axe attack that leads to his head.

"Haha. Haha. Hahaahahaha. Surprise. Absolutely surprise...!!!!" Shouted Asta at that moment.

Asta re-normalizes his concentration. Asta also returned to the direction of the goblins.

"Because you forced me, then I have no choice but to kill you. Once again...!!!"

"Perfect Stage Transformation Technique, Heavenly Indra Deity,"

"Technik Spirit of the Fire of War,"

"Low-level Heavenly Art, Demonstraper,"

"Boomm.....!!!!"

Asta also re-used the techniques of transformation and Fire Fighting. But this time he really seriously transformed perfectly.

Not only did his eyes and ears change. His body was now enveloped in spirit armor created from the technique of perfect transformation. His aura was really immediately felt by the Goblins.

"This..!!! The Ancient Animal Spirit the Wolf God...!!! A True Cultivator..!!"

"Just deserving of its monstrous power..!!!"

The Goblins were surprised to see the changes Asta made. Deserving his strength was so terrifying that it was not even difficult for him to defeat Goblins at the same level as him.

"Let's party..!!!" Shouted Asta while smiling.

The goblins try to escape. Asta chased after them quickly and launched a series of kicks and punches towards them.

Every time his punches and kicks hit those below the Soul realm, it would instantly explode. As for those in the realm of Master it will only give fatal wounds that are difficult to heal.

Seeing the mental condition of his troops deteriorate, Gibal also took the Communication Jade. He tried to contact his subordinates who were in charge of robbing the village to quickly return.

"Ehh, I thought you had guts. It turns out that Goblins are just a lot of cowards" Helio said.

"You..!!!! Keep talking...!!!" Gibal did not accept being called a coward.

Gibal goes on a rampage and activates a technique that increases his power. Gibal's previously greenish body turned blood red.

From the reddish aura that his body emanated created a Red Demon. The crimson-fanged creature looked into his eyes sharply.

"Red Demon Transformations? You really are an incredible coward, being able to obtain the Animal Jewel from the leader of the Red Demon," Helio said in a dismissive tone.

"Speak as you please because you're going to die anyway" Gibal said.

"But you're not the only one with a powerful Animal Spirit,"

Seeing Gibal transformed with his Animal Spirit made Helio was interested and enthusiastic to join in using it.

"Dragonik Eagle...?!!! You..!!!!" His words were surprised.

Helio's sword and Gibal's Axe again clashed to cause a surge of spirit. While their Animal Spirits also collided with each other.

Asta fights like an entanglement. He did not hesitate anymore to attack even if the entrails of the Goblins scattered around him.

While fighting Asta shed his tears. But his mouth laughed loudly. Seeing Asta's attitude like that. The goblins begin to lose hope of escaping. Especially when Asta looked at them sharply.

"Hit..!! Kick..!! Hit..!! Hit..!! Kick..!! Kick..!! Hit..!! Ahahaha..!! Go..!!!! Go ahead all of you....!!!!" Asta shouted.

One by one the Goblins were killed in his hands. From the tens to the remaining only a dozen. In less than an hour, Asta completely wiped out more than half of their numbers.

On the other hand, Gibal seemed overwhelmed by Helio. Instead of increasing Gibal's power the transformation only weakens him. But once he knew that his strength had indeed increased, but Helio was also really serious this time. He also realized that at the beginning of the fight, Helio actually deliberately restrained himself. That's why he's balanced with her.

Gibal was also surprised to see Asta who was so violent in killing every subordinate so cruelly. He expected his subordinates to come at that very instant.

Gibal did not want to fight and sacrifice his life. He then thought of a way to distract Helio so that he could escape easily. All at once to give time to his subordinates.

Gibal managed to take Helio's eyes off. He also jumped back and ran.

"You-you!!!" Seeing him Helio was furious. He really did not expect Gibal to run away.

Helio immediately rushed after him and tried to attack him. But once Gibal is lucky to avoid it.

"Sir, what's the matter..?!!" Shouted his subordinates who had just arrived. Right after Asta managed to kill all the Goblin Master realm down that had previously surrounded him.

"Hurry and kill the boy..!!! We can't let him live..!!! He's dangerous..!! If left alone in a few years we won't know what he can do with his terrifying strength...!!" Gibal's Order.

The Goblins who had just come were furious at the sight of their comrades had now been killed in a very cruel way. There are at least 15 people. Yet 5 of them were Senior Realms, 10 of them were in the King realm.

Seeing the power of the reinforcements Asta also swallowed his saliva. He might be able to deal with one person who was in the King's Realm, but he was not sure he could deal with those in the Senior Realm. What else is the combination of them.

Although reinforcements came Gibal still did not stop his running. Seeing his attitude that was so upset someone that someone threw his spear. The spear shot through his body. Gibal immediately remembered something after seeing the spear.

"This. spear. destroyer.the universe.." Gibal breathed his breath at that moment.

Helio who saw the distance between them and the two figures with Asta was very far away, opened his eyes wide. At least their distance is about a few kilometers from the location. And what made him even more surprised was the hovering spear itself. Because the spear was very well known by Cultivators.

Seeing their leader die. The newly arrived Goblin reinforcements instantly lost their confidence to fight. They also decided to escape.

"Want to escape? It was too late," Helio rushed after the Goblins. Seeing that, of course, Asta did not stay silent and helped him.

With the help of the Spear of Universe Destruction that Zaru controlled remotely. In the end, none of the goblins escaped. The fight is over.

"Wait here" Helio said, asking Asta to wait.

Helio then collected their storage rings. He also entered every tent and gathered the resources the Goblins had.

Finished gathering their resources. Helio returned to the place where Asta was talking to his teacher and Zaru who was by then at his side.

"Take this" Helio said, throwing a small bag at him.

"What's this for. Didn't you ever give me money. Ah..!!!! This-!!! That's a lot..!!!" asta said surprised when he knew the contents of the bag turned out to contain at least some storage rings.

After finding out the bag contained a storage ring, he checked each ring. At least it contained so many precious materials and medicinal ingredients that he just happened to need. But he still felt bad to take it.

"But sir, it's too much" Asta said.

"You just take it. That's your part. I only gave you one storage ring. With some of those level 5 rings if you want, you can make them into storage bracelets in Forging" Helio said.

"But, isn't this too much" Asta said.

"It's okay. I got my own share anyway. It's already yours. Consider it your journey from me" Reply Helio.

Asta looked at the bag for a moment. Before then nodding in accepting Helio's gift.

"Asta. You must have wanted to ask about both of your parents, right?" Ask Helio.

Asta nodded too.

"alright. Earlier, I apologized for lying to you. But I also had to do it. I did it for your safety" Helio said.

Helio began to tell me everything that had happened. Regarding the truth of his parents who abandoned him three years ago. What Asta now knows is, his father and mother are someone who has a big responsibility. And just then, they led an army to help on the front lines. In the face of the forces of the 7 Great Sins Faction.

And Asta also now knows that Ace's disappearance has something to do with the war. Everything was clearly revealed. Asta was happy to hear that fact.

"Then, what is Mr Helio doing here now?" ask Asta.

"I'm on duty. That's why I'm here" Helio replied with a smile. He intends to hide that his son, Kenshin, who is also his friend, has left the house. Same seems.

"Ahh, so yes," said Asta.

"Then Asta who is your teacher. Where did you find it and also, the bear where did you get it," asked Helio in a whisper.

Asta glanced at Flares and started laughing. Helio who knew nothing felt astonished. When Flares snorted in annoyance because Asta laughed at him. It is true that currently Helio can see Flares directly. Because from the beginning Flares had allowed him to see it.

"Teacher, I'm not sure if you're really the Sect Founder. You see, Mr. Helio who is a top Sect official does not recognize you," Asta said and laughed.

Helio was surprised to hear that. He wasn't sure if Asta was joking with him or seriously saying it.

"Asta, what do you mean..?" Helio asked confusedly with the chatter between the student and the teacher.

"Isn't the Sect where me and Mr. Helio are the True Fire Flame Sect?" Ask Asta.

"How do you know?" Ask Helio.

"Teacher told me. He tells about his journey and life in establishing a Sect hundreds of years ago with his power. He said the sect was the True Fire Flame Sect," Asta explained.

"You, are you really the founding ancestor..? Lord Flares the Dark Fire God," Helio asked with a slight tremble of his words.

Asta's laughter grew louder when Helio asked his teacher. Out of annoyance. Flares pulled one of her ears to stop laughing.

"Ohh, Ouch. Teacher, I'm sorry. Apologize," he said.

After that, Flares introduced himself. As the figure of the Sect Founder and also as a figure widely known as the Dark Fire God. Not to forget, he also introduced Zaru. Yang was also the leader of one of the Ancient Animal Races, the Horned Bear.

Heavenly Note

The name of the Atalist Continent was taken from a cultivator who had united the entire plain in his prime. Currently the Atalist Continent is divided into several regions, each region has its own combat power.

The current strongest region that was also the center of gathering cultivators and where the Ancient Animal Race took shelter in the Atalist Continent was Gitou, then followed by Jian Wu Empire, Han Empire, Arkhan Empire, and, The Yun Empire, and the Hong Empire.

The Land of Gitou, which is half of the Atalist Continent. Dominated by the Ancient Gharib Animal Race and high-level Cultivators.

The Jian Wu, Han, Arkhan, Yun, and Hong empires had roughly the same area.

In addition to the Gitou Mainland and the 5 Empires, there were also small states that also included having their own territories. There are approximately 6 countries namely, High Cliffs, Sand dunes, Cursed Valleys, Heavenly Lands, Forging Mountains, and Protective Lands.

The High Cliff Country itself was dominated by Dark Elves. The Orc-dominant Desert Country. The Cursed Valley Country was dominated by Demons, Goblins, and Werewolves. Heavenly Land Country, the territory where the Elves lived. The Forging Mountain Country was the residence of the Dwarves who were renowned as Forging masters. And the Land of Protector is a country known as the island of fish people.

The strength of a country is not comparable to an Empire, but its strength does not mean it is weaker than a great Sect in an Empire.
