The Heavenly Road: God Hunters

Chapter 009 Master Spirit Expert (revision)

Asta Raiken no longer cares whether his house is intact or has fallen apart. Dust flew all around, signaling severe damage to his home. His house was ruined because of the actions of the three men.

After experiencing two incredible weeks, this sudden situation made him emotional. Now, he was convinced of the identity of his attacker from the silhouette of the shadow.

"Please! Whenever you want, I'm ready to face you!" challenge Asta Raiken confidently, thinking his attacker is Kenshin Utake.

The silhouette of the shadow set a direction with the tip of its blade after hearing Asta Raiken's shout. Quickly, the shadow figure slid forward attacking with his sword.

Asta Raiken felt a different fluctuation of bullying energy than he knew from Kenshin Utake. This was more akin to the energy fluctuation of Asila Moegi.

"Damn it! This... Aura Asila Moegi! Oh yes, Fireball! The Essence of the Mentari Fire! How could I forget it!" asta shouted in his heart, realizing who the real attacker was.

A moment later, Asila Moegi launched an attack with her sword, shocking Asta and making him panic.

"Moe...!! What are you doing..?! Is that how to say congratulations..!!" asta shouted trying to stop him.

However, despite already shouting, Asila Moegi did not change her position and kept moving quickly.

"Damn! Looks like he really seriously wants to kill me!" Asta grumbled as he prepared to repel the attack.

Asta clenched his teeth while putting up the horses to carry out Moegi attack parry. In an instant, Asila Moegi appeared in front of Asta with a shocked face as if she was the wrong person.

"God! Asta-?! What am I doing?!!" Jerit Asila Moegi, surprised by her own actions. He was really surprised to find out that the figure he was facing was Asta, not someone else.

So surprised, Asila Moegi forgot to cancel his attack, or maybe he did not want to cancel it because it had already thrust the tip of the Kenshin Utake sword towards Asta. He only hoped that Asta could stop his attack.

Asta frowned, while shouting his heavenly technique, The Ploughing Beast, and quickly brushed the tip of the sword in the other direction.

"Asta.. I'm..." Asila Moegi stammered trying to explain everything. Asta was a little surprised to see his attitude that was somewhat different from usual. But as other problems came, he ignored them.

"Damn! Who else now?! Are you guys planning to attack me while I'm doing a realm breakthrough?!" Shouted Asta, while looking the other way, ignoring Asila Moegi who was still trying to explain in a stammer.

---

On the other hand, Kenshin Utake and Kesha Timber seemed annoyed that the three were completely misguided. In fact, he had explained that it was possible that Asta Raiken was trying to break the realm, but they instead ignored him by concluding that someone else had harmed him. After all, in his opinion, who would dare to harm him when there was Ace by his side? Only a fool would do that.

Kenshin sighed softly seeing the riot they were involved in. Kenshin has already guessed what Asta's anger will be like. It was clear that he would blame him too, because Moegi used his sword.

"Leave it. Even if there was no one there but Asta, they would have stopped attacking" Kesha said. Kenshin patted his forehead, imagining how Asta Raiken's anger would come later.

Zaraki Onoki is seen jumping and plunging down, aiming his two hand axes. Then, Shiro Nekoshi on the other hand ran around while playing two hand knives, preparing to make an attack.

However, a moment later, Shiro Nekoshi realized that the person in front of him was Asta Raiken, and he immediately took the initiative to stop his attack. Shiro jumped back and kept his hand knives back.

"Sorry," he said, smiling awkwardly.

On the other hand, Zaraki Onoki still maintains his attack, even though he knows his current target is Asta Raiken, his best friend.

"Show me how much you've grown, Asta!" Shouted Zaraki Onoki, challenging him.

"Because you asked, of course I won't hesitate" Asta Raiken replied, smiling confidently.

Asta performs a spirit release to strengthen the body-breaking blow he will use to fight with Zaraki's axe.

Seeing that, Kenshin and Kesha could only stare at him wide, especially since Asta was also invisible as if he wanted to dodge an attack. Asta jumped up and launched his fierce punch at the axe used by Zaraki.

"Twoar..!!!"

The combination of axe and fist created quite a commotion, especially after the action of Asila Moegi who fired the fireball raid earlier attracted the attention of some disciples who came, they wondered what was going on.

Together with his axe, Zaraki bounced a little away from the result of their fusion of attacks. Asta Raiken's black fiery fist managed to break him to be thrown from the fight.

Zaraki was a little surprised at how powerful Asta Raiken was after training for some time. He felt regret because his lazy attitude all this time had left him far behind from Asta.

Kenshin Utake and Kesha Timber hurriedly approached Zaraki Onoki who was bounced from the attack. They both breathed a little relieved to see that he could still laugh, which meant that he was fine.

"Are you okay?!" Asta asked with a face pretending to be panicked.

"Stop mocking me, damn it. Are you showing off your spirit control to me?" Said Zaraki Onoki with a wry smile.

"That's better than me killing you," Asta replied with a hint of annoyance.

"Kenshin! You fucking jerk! Did you still not accept your defeat yesterday to the point that you wanted to kill me. If you have the guts, face me alone, don't use anyone else!" Shouted Asta Raiken, annoyed at Kenshin Utake.

"What did you say?! How could I have done such a dirty thing to you. They are stone-headed! I told them you were doing a purification of the realm. But foolishly, Asila Moegi suddenly said there was someone else in your house trying to kill you..!! Return my sword..!!" Kenshin exclaimed, then took back his sword which had been forcibly taken by Moegi.

Kenshin seems to regret his actions for letting the three of them come with him to Asta's house and destroy his house.

"It's only natural that there are such intense energy fluctuations here while Asta is trying to complete his spiritual purification..!!! You fool..!!!" He said in annoyance, then hit their heads one by one.

"I apologize to her..!! Hurry...!!!" Tell Kenshin to the three of them.

"Do I need to, too..?" Zaraki asked while holding his head which Kenshin had hit earlier. But Kenshin just stared at him sharply.

Seeing Kenshin who was already furious, Moegi, Shiro, and Zaraki quickly apologized to Asta.

"Asta, I apologized earlier. I thought it was someone else trying to kill you. Honestly, I actually felt there were fluctuations in aura other than you here-"

"The truth is Asila Moegi!" Cut Kenshin Utake off, see it too reasoned.

"I'm sorry for my mistake of acting without thinking" Asila Moegi said as she breathed out softly.

Asta was actually a little stunned for a moment hearing what he said was indeed true. The aura he might feel was the presence of his teacher who was also chuckling.

Asila Moegi apologized, followed by Shiro Nekoshi and Zaraki Onoki.

"You think just apologizing can build a house...?!" Asta asked in an annoyed tone.

"Imagine I just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief after finishing my breakthrough, but then you guys brazenly suddenly came trying to kill me. Are you guys crazy?! What would be my fate if my breakthrough was not finished?!" Angry next.

Some people started to arrive to see what happened, but when they got there they even got a spectacle where Asta was angry at Asila Moegi, Zaraki Onoki, and Shiro Nekoshi. They laughed and enjoyed it.

"But isn't it an exaggeration to attack with full force, whereas I'm just doing regular attacks?" Zaraki protested a little about the attack.

Asta Raiken stared intently at him, "Thank God I didn't kill you at the time" he said.

Amidst the anger of Asta Raiken, there were footsteps of people who were increasingly gathered to pay attention to what was happening. One of them was Mr. Helio Utake who came and opened his eyes wide.

Kenshin smiled awkwardly to tell her what happened. At his side, Asta Raiken looked at him sharply, demanding that he immediately admit what they did to his father. Despite that, Kenshin Utake remained silent, not answering the question.

"Sir Helio, it seems like you need to punish this brat. So do you guys who are the parents of these four brats as well. Maybe they tried to attack me while I was doing a breakthrough of the realm," Asta Raiken said, pointing to one by one his five friends.

Kenshin and Kesha who felt that they did not attack him were shocked. Asta was really accusing them indiscriminately.

"Luckily I finished on time, because if not possible now I have become a charred ashes because of their actions," continued Asta staring intently at Asila Moegi.

Hearing that, all the other sect disciples felt that it was natural, which made them confused was Asta Raiken's astonishing speed of development in cultivation.

Then he suddenly announced about his spiritual ascension, which meant that he had reached the Expert Realm as a Spirit Master. As fellow cultivators, of course they understood about the spirit control that had to be met in order to reach the next realm. Asta was born with a God Spirit, which should make it even harder to control his spirit essence without the help of his body level. So what made the other disciples confused was how could he raise his body to level 3 so quickly?

One by one they congratulated him on his success in breaking through the realm of Experts. But Asta still looked sour and annoyed by what Asila Moegi did just a moment ago. He believed that all this was the work of Kenshin Utake who was behind it.

After that, they return to the delayed activity. There are only a few elderly people left, Helio Utake (29), Lan Yue Ru (30), Asila Ryu (32), Zain Nekoshi (31), Rize Onoki (33), and Rena Timber (29). These six people were the Elders of the True Fire Flame Sect.

The True Fire Flame Sect was one of the Top Sects of the 7 Great Sects that was under the auspices of the Arkhan Empire. The True Fire Flame Sect had a powerful troop formation and great Elders. Under the Sect Chief, there were 4 sect-building Halls, where each hall was run by Sect Elders who were selected through special selection.

The first hall was the Sacred Hall, run by the 5 Sect Elders with the cultivation level of the Great King realm. This elder of the Sacred Hall was called the Knight of Pentagram. They were working directly under the orders of the Sect Chief and were the ones who had sworn allegiance to the True Fire Flame Sect.

The second hall is the Law Hall, which consists of 5 Elders who are entrusted to hold the role of punishment to students or Elders who have broken the law. They also had the control to punish the Sect Leader if he had broken the sect rules that had been set before. Each of the Law Hall Elders was a King realm Cultivator.

The third hall is the Training Hall, which consists of 5 training halls each run by 3 Elders, so there are 15 Elders running the Training Hall. The halls include:

1) Spirit Training Hall, discussing different types of spirits, handling methods, as well as spirit essence prevention. Here, all the weaknesses and advantages of each type of Spirit Essence would be taught to the Sect Disciples.

2) Heavenly Road Training Hall, discussing the knowledge of the heavenly road branch, including its risks and opportunities. In addition, the disciples listened to an understanding of the heavenly path they wanted to choose, in order to help them choose the heavenly path that suited their abilities.

3) Body Raga Training Hall, students learn to do body forging as well as the best methods to improve forging efficiency.

4) Cultivation Training Hall, teaching cultivation methods and how to deal with the case of a failed realm breakthrough while cultivating.

5) Fighting Training Hall, here the students are taught how to fight according to their interest in the chosen heavenly way.

The fourth hall was the Task Hall, which consisted of 5 Elders who were entrusted to hold the role of mission providers for sect members. This hall was a place where sect members exchanged contribution points for various rewards the Sect had provided.

The six of them were the Elders of the Training Hall, with Helio Utake, Lan Yue Ru, and Zain Nekoshi as the Elders of the Fighting Training Hall, while Rize Onoki, Rena Timber, were the, and Asila Ryu was the Elder of the Spirit Training Hall.

Lan Yue Ru sighed softly, "Moegi, can you not always follow your father's problem-finding nature?" he nodded while tilting his head.

"Ehh?! Since when do I have the nature of a problem seeker. Honey, there seems to be something wrong here," Asila Ryu said as she held her hand, looking at Lan Yue Ru.

"That's it, let it go. His name is also children. Just think of all these events as an exercise, yes, Asta," Rena Timber said with a smile towards Asta.

"Can't! Rena, don't you be so soft! Even though, these brats are wrong!" Rize Onoki approached his son and hired him.

"Aww!! Aduduhih! Mama! Get your hands off! My ears could come out!" yell Zaraki in pain.

"Just be wild! So you know the taste, you bad boy!" timpale.

Zain Nekoshi and Helio Utake just chuckled at him, doing nothing to punish his son. The two of them only advised against doing such a thing again.

Asta laughed with satisfaction at seeing the two of them scolded by his parents, especially Zaraki Onoki. Because of his actions, Zaraki was taken by his mother to come home and serve the punishment for lazing, while Kesha and Shiro returned to practice. There are only three of them left now: Asta Raiken, Kenshin Utake, and Asila Moegi.

"Asta, then how's this..?" ask Kenshin after seeing Asta's mood improve. His eyes glanced around, looking at the rubble of the rest of his home building.

Asta who initially wanted to answer "let it go" because he would also leave soon, did not say it because there was Asila who was still in front of them.

"Leave it. What I have in mind right now is Ace. If you ask me where I want to go, I'll go look for him" Asta replied.

Just as Asta was about to step on his feet, he suddenly came up with an idea, "I retract my words. Come back here tomorrow to re-establish my home as a form of your responsibility," he said, leaving Moegi and Kenshin who gawked to hear that.

---

After returning from Asta's house, Kenshin immediately laid his body on the sofa. Today's incident made his head a little dizzy and heavy. Helio raised both his eyebrows in astonishment.

"What's wrong?" ask Helio Utake.

"The son of a bitch asked me to rebuild his house from tomorrow. He thought it was easy to build the house" Kenshin snorted in annoyance and was later met with a small laugh by Helio Utake.

Helio Utake chuckled, "listen, I want to talk about something we're dealing with right now" Helio said.

Kenshin then sat down to listen to the story carefully until finally Helio ended the story.

"You understand that, don't you? Then take this and go to Asta's house. Take all the equipment left behind and follow it in the forest. This is his chance to leave before Moegi realizes it" Helio Utake said.

"Yes, Dad. I understand," Kenshin said as he nodded. After that, he went to Asta's house.

After Kenshin left, while carrying the storage ring he gave her, Helio Utake let out a long sigh.

"Maybe you're destined to be someone great in the future. Therefore, take good care of yourself," muttered Helio quietly.

---

Arriving at Asta's house, Kenshin makes sure no one sees him, let alone Moegi. He immediately took all of Asta's clothes and all of his belongings and put them in a ring.

The ring's name is the Ocean Jade Ring, a ring capable of storing anything other than a living thing. The same ring that Taki Garaki used when storing the carcasses of supernatural animals.

After saving everything, Kenshin rushes into the forest looking for the whereabouts of Asta, whom he previously knew was looking for Ace.

Several hours have passed since Asta searched for Ace. The increasingly hot weather forced him to stop and rest for a while under the trees.

"Aihhhhhhhhhhh.. I haven't found him yet. Actually, where are you hiding." muttered Asta.

"Is it possible that Ace ran away because I didn't accompany him to talk?" mumbling slowly.

"Just look. Master thinks he's around here" said Flares, looking up at one of the trees.

A moment later, as he was daydreaming and thinking about the reason for Ace's departure, he heard a voice calling out to him, which belonged to Ace.

"Basic fucking boy! Have you given up looking for me..? It seems like you're a fool when it was clear from now on I was on top of you" Ace exclaimed.

Asta was surprised and raised his head up, "ehh?! Then why did you just shut up?"
