The Heavenly Road: God Hunters

Ch40 Dark Sky

After meeting with Chen Hao and Uncle Hao many things he could learn from them, his eyes opened again reminding him of his goal to become stronger.

"Finally back too" said Zaru who seemed to be waiting for him.

"Ehh, are you-Ukhh-!!!"

"Bruuuayakk..!!!"

He had not yet finished his words. Suddenly Zaru kicked him into the wall. Asta rushed back to get up. Avoiding the next Zaru attack.

"What the fuck is this...?!! Can you explain why you attacked me first..!!!" Shouted Asta while continuously trying to dodge his attack.

"It looks like this is still not enough to make you aware of your mistake" Zaru said, increasing his attack speed.

This time completely unable to match the speed of his attack, Zaru's punches and kicks landed smoothly on his body.

"It looks like the walls of this Association are made of good materials otherwise it might have been destroyed by a mess" Zaru muttered, noticing the solidity of the walls that were not destroyed even after Asta had hit him many times.

Zaru began to re-launch his attacks, but unlike before now he actually used the Spear of Destruction to attack him.

"Ofy! What exactly happened to why you intended to kill me like this!" Shouted Asta.

Zaru did not care about it at all and continued to attack him seriously.

"Oiyy..!! oyy..!! oyy...!! That's right..!!! Do you intend to kill me....?!!!" Asta's shout was surprised to see Zaru who was increasingly rapidly swinging the Spear of Universe Destruction.

Asta rushed to avoid the spear thrust, but Zaru did not intend to give him any time to rest, attack after attack he continued to launch.

"Are you still unconscious..?" Zaru asked as he continued to attack him.

"Conscious what..?!!!! You think I'm losing consciousness, huh...?!!!" Asta answered it.

"Twoarrr....!!!!"

Asta was gawking at the effects of Zaru's attack he really still did not realize the purpose of the question, why did he look so eager to kill him?

Zaru's attacks were accelerating and increasing, the Association wall that looked sturdy was falling apart unable to withstand his strength.

'Did he really want to kill me? But because of what? No-no, if he wanted to kill me I should have been killed earlier, with his strength it was not difficult to stab me with his spear. Obviously he just wanted to pressure me into saying something, but what was it, ' Asta murmured in his heart.

"Can you give me a chance to think, if this continues then how can I remember it" Asta exclaimed.

Still Zaru seemed unconcerned by the remark and continued swinging his spear with killing intent without pause.

'Cihh...! There is no other way, ' to feel hopeless to have no other way than to deal with it, Asta intends to use something he just got if there is no other way.

"Akhhhhh--!!!!! Sick-it!!" Erang Asta after holding down Zaru's spear tip using his palm.

"Holding it...? With your low ability...? Haha...!!" zaru's lips to him.

"Stop babbling, damn it," Asta said annoyedly as he pulled out the Night Demon Sword from inside his ring, not caring though something would happen to him even though Uncle Hao had told him not to be rash, but he had no choice but to use it.

Asta also took out the Heaven-Splitting sword from his ring and using the two swords in both hands, the night-devil sword aura that gushed out profusely transformed his Heaven-Splitting sword into a black sword as well, not only was the aura of the Night Demon Sword also spreading across the entire room.

"You-you!! Where'd you get it..?!!" Shouted Zaru was surprised to see the sword that Asta used because he knew who the person who should have it.

"Well, even though I have never learned the techniques of fighting using two swords, I will try" he said, looking at the 2 black swords in his hand, not caring about Zaru who was asking.

'ukh-o! Shit..!! It's only fair that Uncle Hao forbade me from using it. I must hurry, otherwise it will definitely be very dangerous for my mental health, Asta muttered in his heart realizing the side effects of the Night Demon sword that were damaging his consciousness.

Without wasting any more time Asta came forward to attack ignoring Zaru's cries.

"Basic fool...!!!! Do you want to go crazy....!!!" Shouted Zaru seeing Asta not respond at all.

***

In another room,

"One hundred and twenty thousand twice...!!!!"

"One hundred twenty thousand three times...!!!!"

"The 5th level Heavenly Dragon Scales sold for one hundred and twenty thousand gold pieces. Congratulations to the buyer at table 15," shouted Manager Row announcing the winner of the auction.

"Alright let's go to the next auction item. For the next item,,,,," Manager Row was silent stopping his speech after feeling the aura suppression spreading in the room.

"This aura...!!!! It's impossible...!!"

"Don't..!!! The manager will auction off the artifact,"

"Devil Master Hunter has retired, thus entrusting his weapon to Manager Row for auction,"

The hall became so boisterous, everyone started asking questions about the next item.

'After causing trouble that triggered a battle of two factions now he came here abruptly, without even informing me first,' Manager Row murmured inwardly as he sighed softly.

Manager Row raised one of his hands and asked the guests to be quiet for a moment.

"Sorry, everyone, because there are unexpected guests of this auction we will delay in a few moments. Please the guests can wait quietly for his redemption, I, as the Manager of the Red Dawn Association, will give you something to enjoy while you wait. For that I resigned for a moment," said the Manager.

"Good Manager. We'll be waiting for you,"

"Ready Manager,"

"Where might we object if you ask, Manager. We'll be waiting for you,"

People enthusiastically answered the manager's call. Now there are no longer people who question whether the Night Demon Sword will be the next auction item because when viewed from Manager Row's attitude, the, they could tell that the owner of the sword was visiting the Association.

***

"Hooooiiii..!!!! Boy..!! Quickly insert the sword again. Do you really want to go crazy..!!!" Shouted Zaru warning him.

Asta continued to swing his sword without a care, bit by bit the aura of the Night Demon Sword affected his mentality. To make him become like a fidelity person who swung his sword randomly.

"True Spirit Techniques, Slash Burning 2 Swords,"

"Spirit Techniques, Spatial Scope. Sealed Scope,"

Shortly before Asta launches his attack, Manager Row and Flares come to stop him.

Using his Spirit Technique, Manager Row locked his movements, while Flares came to take the sword from his hand.

Manager Row was surprised as well as Flares. They both did not think that Asta was the one who was using the sword.

Asta was immediately unconscious after the 2 swords slipped from his grasp. Flares reinserted the sword into its sheath. That way the aura that emanated out was instantly fading.

"This sword has even turned into another sword, the Night Devil actually made his Heaven-Splitting sword mutate into a black sword that has the same properties as the Night Devil. Sky Liberator was no longer a suitable name for him, Dark Sky was more suitable than that name now. This sword had actually risen to a level 5 Spirit Artifact," Flares muttered seeing the Heaven-Splitting sword had now turned into a Dark Langi.

Although there are so many questions that Manager Row wants to ask he can only wait until he regains consciousness. He tells his Master and Zaru to tell him that Asta has awakened. He returned to the hall to continue the auction.

Zaru laughed awkwardly at Flares, "if you ask me then I ask who..?" Zaru.

"Bas with you, after all, his identity will soon be revealed as well. So there's no need for you to be as good as he is, which has happened let it pass for this sword problem, maybe we'll ask him after he wakes up later" Flares said.

A moment before, right after Asta left Hao Ryun.

"Uncle, where is the young master. Why isn't it there," Chen Hao asked after returning from buying a drink.

"Ehh, he's gone home, he said he still has some business to do" Hao replied with a smile.

"Ahh, so yes when I want to ask him more," said Chen slowly.

"Ehhh, what did he ask?" Hao asked curiously.

"I wanted to ask him about how to become a cultivator like him, even though it is less likely to be a great cultivator, but at least I want to be able to live without constant discrimination like this. I want to repay the kindness of uncle, as well as the young master who had saved me. Unfortunately now the young master has left and I no longer have the opportunity to ask about it" Chen explained.

"Ehh, Chen Hao is already big huh apparently. Then why don't you ask me?" Said Hao while smilingly teasing him.

"Uncle, stop teasing me, after all what uncle knows about cultivating" Chen replied.

Uncle Hao smiled at him, "you'll know later, before that let's leave this place, my son. This place is no longer feasible for us to occupy," he said slowly.

"Moved again? Where's where?" Chen Hao asked curiously.

"Towards the peak of cultivation," he said, holding onto Chen Hao's right arm, their existence disappeared instantly, as if the two of them had never been there.

Asta began to open his eyes to pay attention to the ceiling of the room.

'Where is this?' he murmured in the heart.

Slowly he rose from his sleep, as the pain began to strike his head and squeeze his consciousness. Trying to suppress that pain.

'Ah 'Akh! My head hurts so much.' he groaned in my heart.

A moment later, the door of the room opened. Showing a waiter came to bring something for him.

Seeing Asta groaning in pain, the servant girl who had just entered hurriedly put the tray on the table and helped him to lie down again.

"Young master you should not move much first, because it will affect your healing process" said the servant reminded.

"Sorry, sorry, I just can't wait to be able to walk out again" Asta chuckled softly.

"Young master I'm here on the orders of the Manager to deliver this meal would the young master want to eat it now?" Ask the waiter.

"It just so happens that my stomach has also asked for his ration, can you help me to sit down?" Pinta Asta the waiter immediately helped her to sit down.

The waiter began to take food and feed it to Asta. "I can do it myself" he said immediately took the food spoon from him, the waiter laughed softly at him who was embarrassed.

"Is this the Red Dawn Association? What time is it now," asked Asta on the sidelines of his meal.

"Young master you seem to have forgotten, didn't I already say that the one who told me to meet you was Manager Row. Of course this is at the Red Dawn Association, it is now just 11 o'clock, "the servant replied with a smile.

"Ahh, yes, hahaha, too" he said, laughing.

A moment later came another person, apparently it was Zaru. With his small body he immediately jumped and landed right in Asta's stomach after seeing it was unconscious.

"I don't think you're awake yet" he said, chuckling.

"Mr Zaru what did you just do..?!" The servant girl cried out in panic but she herself did not dare to stop him knowing that she would not be able to hold him back.

The servant girl hurriedly closed Asta's gaping mouth wide before the contents of her stomach came out again. The servant girl then took the water and immediately drank it so that the contents of her stomach back down.

"What are you doing?!! Can't you see the situation!!" Shouted Asta annoyed, so he almost took out his entire stomach.

Zaru just laughed in response to her not returning her words at all. The servant girl could only smile awkwardly at the familiarity of the two of them even though they had previously had an incredible fight. The servant girl went to bring the dirty dishes after Asta finished his meal.

For a few moments there was no conversation between them resulting in the room felt so quiet and quiet, someone came to break the silence.

"What about your condition, Asta?" Manager Row asked with a worried face.

"I'm fine Manager, it's just that my head still hurts a lot and I haven't been able to move much" Asta replied.

"Asta, take and swallow this pill, absorb the contents of the pill with the maximum," said Manager Row gave him a healing pill for him.

Asta began to swallow and absorb the essence of the pill, in just a few minutes the power has been replenished and the pain in his head has also disappeared. Asta woke up and tried to do a simple movement to check if there was still something wrong on his body.

"Pil level 3 alone is this powerful and now I can move again. Thank you Manager for all the help" Asta said thanking him.

"Then can we start the conversation, Asta," said Manager Row.

Asta nodded his head, "Sure,"

"Well, let's start with the first question, what is the reason that makes you use Spirit techniques and show your Spirit tattoo in a public place..?" Ask Manager.

"That's me not having any hidden reasons, I guess because I was upset because at that time Chen Hao and I were about to enter one of the restaurants in the city, but a guard prevented us from entering" Asta explained.

"Who dares to stand in your way, don't you also have a Jade from me why don't you use it" the Manager asked.

"Ahh, back then I only felt that if I used it after creating trouble in those small shops it would only worsen the reputation of the association. That's why I don't use it" Asta explained, chuckling softly.

"What, you're also even oppressing ordinary people..?!" Manager Row was surprised.

"What the fuck is with that question of course it's not like that..!!" Asta said evasive because of course he did not do it with the intention of oppressing them.

"Then what..?!" The manager asked him to answer.

"They bullied a little boy, that little boy was only a year younger than me of course I couldn't bear it when those adults let him almost die. I compensated for the bread Chen Hao took from his shop anyway" Asta told the story.

"Then the incident at Wan Xeng's restaurant?" Ask Manager.

"I told you that a guard was blocking me from entering the restaurant, and he was emitting an aura to pressure me into following him. That's why I hit him to realize who he was talking to. I just didn't like it anymore when he called me my friend Chen Hao as a tramp" Asta explained.

Manager Row patted his forehead while shaking slowly. He really did not expect that Asta would do rash actions just for the sake of someone he did not even recognize.

"Are there really needs to do that just for the sake of a vagrant child? All I know is that Chen Hao the boy is a tramp" Zaru asked.

"If I don't then it's the same as me betraying my own cultivation foundation. The reason I chose the path as a cultivator was to help the weak and protect the people I loved. If there is someone who is being discriminated against in front of me, I will definitely help him" Asta explained.

"Well forget about this matter, then the next question from where did you get the Night Demon Sword, do you know who the original owner of the sword was?" Manager Row asked him again.

"The thing is I don't know what kind of title he has in this cultivation world, but isn't he a brother-in-law, Manager? He was the one who raised Chen Hao from childhood until now, Chen always called him Uncle Hao. He had only once told me his name, Hao Ryun, and Chen Hao's real name itself was Hao Ryun,"
