5 Years passed so quickly, not felt at this time Asta was 15 years old. The training process went so smoothly without any obstacles.
As a result of this practice Asta mastered two heavenly books very well under the direction of Ace and Zaru, in addition to the results of training with his teacher was also satisfactory. Currently Asta was a Peak Saint Master Cultivator with the achievement of a tier 5 forger and concocter.
“Do you think you can beat me this time?” triv Ace.
Asta smiled nonchalantly and pulled out the night demon sword from within his ring. His swordplay improved considerably than when in a martial arts tournament. With his current soul force the night demon sword was no longer a problem for him.
“If I don't try it then I'll never know the result,”
Asta swung his sword and performed a series of slashes to try to attack Ace.
Ace's extremely agile movements were enough to make it difficult, as if Ace was reading his attacks before he even swung a sword.
“Sial-!!”
Asta fell to the ground unable to avoid a single attack from him,“again,” he said trying to get back on his feet.
Ace smiled at him, My“ is ready whenever you want,”.
Asta again launched the first attack and Ace quickly dodged it, preparing to counterattack from behind.
Asta swung his sword at his back holding Ace's leg kick, he smiled as he saw his reflexes were always improving.
Ace changed his attack pattern to be more diverse than just a kick. Asta increased his movement speed to follow his attack pattern.
It was fierce and quite balanced in some time despite the fact that Asta was attacked more.
“Activate Firestorm Raga,” Ace gives instructions.
Asta jumped back while fending off his kick,“like you pointed at,” Asta stuck his sword into the ground and activated the spirit technique.
Asta left his sword decided to fight empty-handed against him, his punches and kicks met each other.
“Akhh-!!”
Asta was thrown into a tree far back after several strong attacks with him, he realized that with his current development it was still impossible to defeat him.
Asta wiped the blood coming out of his mouth,“it's only a matter of time for me to defeat you,” Asta got up and took his blood vessel pills to stabilize his wound.
Ace smiled disdainfully,“when do you want to be here?”
Asta furrowed his brows in wonder,“what do you mean by that?”
“You have mastered the Dark Fire God Book as well as the Soul Compound but for the matter of experience you cannot just rely on fighting training alone, either, we need a really real opponent and fight with killing intent to improve your abilities even further,” Zaru explained.
“Are we done here guru?” Asta turned to his teacher.
“You have mastered it very well but your fighting abilities are still lacking, the only way to improve it is only one is to meet a real opponent with a high killing appetite, ” Flares explained.
Asta was cheering with joy, after a long time finally his days were over, Asta imagined himself to the world of cultivation and fight for justice, he smiled himself imagining it.
“Hehehe. After all this time, the time I have been waiting for has finally arrived! Wait for me this handsome prince will come to eradicate evil for you! Hahahaha,”
Ace looked at him in wonder and then turned towards Zaru, himself also astonished to see his behavior. Eventually the two of them agreed to work on it.
“Ahh! So you are apparently the one who claimed to be that hero,” Ace standing behind him in his half-human transformation smiled widely.
“How dare you boast in front of this ruler. But good now I don't have to be difficult to beat you,” beside him Zaru is also in the form of a half-human transformation is ready with the universe spear in his hand.
“Ehh.?!!” Asta was at a loss to see the two of them suddenly transform and exuded an aura ready to fight towards him.
“What's up..”
“Quite the bases we just kill him so we will be able to control the city,” cut Zaru suddenly swing his spear.
“Hei..!!! Do you want to kill me?!”
“Do you have any last words.?” ace asked with a big smile showing off his teeth and nails.
“Sial! What's the matter with the two of you,” Asta gulped his saliva shuddered in horror.
“Prepare to die,” Zaru swings his spear very quickly.
“Damn it! Are you really..” not finished talking Ace floated his scratch.
“You're crazy huh?!!” he shouted in disbelief, he could have been killed if two attacks like that hit him.
The two of them did not respond to his words at all and continued their subsequent attacks.
Asta looked at his teacher who was laughing to see it was difficult,“guru what the fuck?! Isn't the training done?!” tanyakanya.
Flares who was laughing did not respond to him, he was completely unreliable he thought.
“Crazy! You two are crazy!” upset ass.
“So this is the ability of the rescue prince,” Zaru smiled mockingly.
“Ehh?!! Prince savior?! Wait a minute what do you two mean suddenly calling me that.?”
The two of them did not answer but immediately launched an attack, as far as Asta could avoid it.
“Wait a minute, why are they suddenly.. oh shit!” inner Asta realized the reason the two of them were suddenly behaving like that.
“They pranking! Motherfucker.!” Asta screamed in his heart.
After dodging a series of attacks, Asta ran to the mouth of the cave, with a swing of his hand, all his belongings into the ring.
“Teacher...!!!! Let's go..!!!!”
“Stop!! Don't run you coward!!” call Zaru.
“Fuck with drama you two...!!” asta refused to stop.
That way Asta left the valley continued his delayed journey for 5 years to improve his abilities first.
“The world I'm coming.!!!”
-----
A few hours later they arrived in a city, Asta was a little surprised to see the condition of the city gate is quiet visitors.
“Teacher do you know where we are now?”
“We have now entered the Valley of the Stone Country precisely in the Blue Gem City,” Flares pointed towards the city.
“This city looks very quiet compared to the cities we have visited, right guru?” he asked for an opinion.
Flares held his chin,“it seems like something is wrong with this city, it is very surprising for this silent border town class,”gumamnya.
“I haven't worn it for a long time,” Asta took out his mask.
“You want to wear it?” ask Zaru.
Asta nodded and put it on,“guru I will go to check you guys just wait here,” he said then ran towards the city.
“Are we going to let it?” ask Zaru.
“Why did you answer? I didn't ask you,”
“Already, it is true what he said even though his fighting experience is still lacking but he is not a person who is easily defeated,” explained Flares hurt them both.
-----
Two guards standing before the gate with lackluster faces made him even more curious about what was happening. Asta suppressed his aura to cover up his identity as a cultivator.
The eyes of the two of them opened wide when they saw Asta heading towards him, the guard hurriedly ran towards him with a panicked face.
“Nak! Stop don't move your legs any further!”
“Go! Blue Gem City is not accepting anyone!”
The two of them pointed their weapons at him but the look in their eyes was clear, they were indeed blocking him from entering but their eyes were like pitying him.
“Can this uncle explain to me about what happened because I really have to get into Blue Gem City for something,”
“Nak believe me uncle go now, it is not a good thing to enter the city at this time,” one of the guards persuaded him.
Asta grew more curious to hear the persuasion and more curious about what was going on inside the city so that the guards could get in the way as much as possible.
“But Uncle I really..”.
“Have let him in, no need to bother persuading him again. If they know we're persuading people to leave they can kill us,” said one of the other guards who just came out.
With the confused face of the two guards did not have any other choice,“Nak promised me not to say anything about our chat while in town,” he said.
“I hope you're okay, be careful,”
“Thank you uncle, I promise not to tell this to anyone,”
Seeing their apprehensive condition he took out a few blood vessel pills as well giving them a large bag of flesh and water inside.
“This I have a gift for your uncles, I hope uncle receives it,” he said giving it to them.
The eyes of the three shining guards smelled the scent of meat,“is this not too much? Then what about your supplies?” ask one of the guards.
“Wait! Son don't tell me you're this.”.
Asta gave them a code not to speak louder,“can uncle tell me about what's going on inside the city so uncle blocks me,”
The guards looked at each other before they then suddenly kowtowed to him,“tuan I beg to save us! We don't want to live under their oppression anymore!” the three of them knelt down and begged him.
Asta was surprised by what they did,“paman can uncle stand first and explain the problem to me, I still do not know what happened,” he said persuading them to wake up.
“Our master can't endure this suffering any longer, don't you want to get inside the city? So please sir help us,” said they begged.
“Alright, alright. I promised to help uncle but can uncle stand up first and explain what happened.?” asta's Pinta again.
They finally want to be told to stand up and tell the problem.
"
Trouble started when 5 years ago when the imperial party was defeated by the enemy forces, the three strongest people of the empire namely the Emperor, Lord Demon Hunter as well as Manager Row were defeated by Tian Wei and his troops.
After that war the empire was in great turmoil, the 5 Great Families and 7 Great Sects could not even withstand it. All the places in the empire became arenas of chaos.
"
Asta fell silent listening to their explanation carefully and absorbed it slowly. His heart was claustrophobic over how many people had suffered during these 5 years and how many people had died because of this chaos.
“Uncle I can not promise now but later I will definitely stop the era of chaos Arkhan empire,” he said.
The three of them smiled and thanked him for his sincere intentions.
“Nak I believe in you, Heavenly Fate will definitely change in your hands someday,”
Asta nodded slowly,“can uncle wait here I will enter the city now,”
“Nak what is your name?”
“Asta Raiken,”
They nodded and let him go into the city alone.
Asta entered the city carefully, many big houses and shops but there was no one there.
“No!! Please don't, please!! She is my only daughter!! I'll give you anything but my daughter, please!!!”
Asta immediately turned to one of the houses where the shout came from,“anyone you wait,” Asta pulled out a dark sky sword from his ring and lunged into the house.
“No, no. My master will be angry if I release one of the girls, for your property matters I will also still bring him so...”.
“Slaasshh..!!!”
A sword passed through the place where the demon's head should be.
“Aaahhhh,”
A girl who was held by the demon shouted hysterically when she saw the demon's head was no longer in place. Asta shook the blood off his sword and put it back into his scabbard.
The middle-aged man was similarly shocked and hurriedly hugged his daughter to protect her.
“I'm sorry. Looks like I made this uncle and sister surprised,” Asta raised his hand peacefully.
“You, you're not part of them?” ask the father to make sure.
“Demon it? Of course not,” Asta replied.
The girl's father let out a sigh of relief,“Master thank you for saving my daughter from them, but my master has nothing to return the favor of master. I only have a small supply if you want..”.
“Enough. I came here not to take property or anything, my purpose here is precisely to save you,” he refused the offer of the uncle.
The uncle was shocked to hear it, he hurriedly told his daughter to thank him.
“Master thank you for coming to save me,” he said thank you.
“Wait can you not call me sir? And also it seems like our age is not much different, my name is Asta Raiken just call Asta,” Asta unmasked.
The father and son were surprised when they saw his very young looking face,“Doesn't you come from a big family? Or maybe from a big sect?” ask the father.
“I am not from any sect, I am a single cultivator. I just got out of my training with my teacher in a valley in the woods not far from here,”.
“What there is a lot overgrown herbal medicine?” ask the father.
Asta nodded slowly,“does uncle know the place?” tanyakanya.
“Of course. It used to be that the people of the city here used to visit the medicinal valley there to pick up some medicinal herbs for sale. But 5 years ago before the empire was in turmoil one saw the existence of Ancient Animal Spirits guarding the valley, so after that we never went there again and just harvested the medicinal plants around it,”
Asta smiled awkwardly at the story from the uncle, he was sure that the ancient animal figure if not Zaru must be Ace.
As long as he told me his daughter looked at Asta's face fixedly, he was interested and amazed to see him who was still young but had become a great cultivator.
