The king of the roo tribe did not care even though the woman's words sounded familiar to his ears. He was willing to do anything so that his spirit would not be obliterated.
“Ba-well, what do you want?”,
“You can tell me enough how to complete the reconstruction of the body. Prove to me you can help me through it.”
“Se-actually I have never heard of anyone who successfully completed the process of body reconstruction before opening the four joints of nature ..”
Yuna laughed softly before sitting in front of the roo tribe king who was still kneeling. “So you just lied?”
“No, I'm not lying. Indeed there is no way to complete the process of reconstruction of the body at your present level.”
The king of the roo tribe continued, “But if you absorb a large number of spirits here using your spirit, you have a chance to open the joints of nature.”
Absorbing spirits using spirits? Does that make any sense? Yuna doubted the roo tribe king's suggestion.
“I've tried it before, I've absorbed spirits here and as a result my power increased though not great.” The roo tribe king tried to convince Yuna.
“If you can do that why don't you absorb all the spirits here?”
“That's because .. I'm just a spirit that doesn't have a body. I intend to suck all spirits but with this condition .. I need a long time to do it.”
“Alright, I'll try. But remember, if you lie I will not hesitate to eliminate you.” Yuna was actually still doubting the old man but considering his physical body condition was in a bad state, she had no other choice to give it a try.
Yuna follows the direction of the king of the roo tribe in order to absorb the spirits in the place. Sitting cross-legged and closing his eyes, he concentrated fully focusing his mind.
Around hundreds of thousands of spirits there suddenly shot into him.
‘What? He could absorb that much spirit in one try?’ The king of the roo tribe was surprised, he even took quite a long time and could only absorb a thousand spirits in that place.
Yuna could feel her strength begin to increase and she managed to open the first natural joint. In a closed-eye state he could now see the destruction of his physical body begin to slow down.
‘This is not enough, I have to absorb more.’
Yuna's spirit-sucking ability developed rapidly after the first natural joint opened, the king of the roo tribe was again surprised to see a portion of the spirits in that place begin to fuse with Yuna.
The second nature joint finally opened, Yuna opened her eyes slowly.
“This is not enough.”
Yuna spoke calmly but it was enough to make the king of the roo tribe depressed.
“Do not say you want ...”
Yuna closed her eyes again when the king of the roo tribe had not finished the words. Feeling insufficient to maintain the condition of his physical body made Yuna intend to absorb all the spirits.
The king of the roo tribe was speechless seeing all his troops absorbed Yuna to the point of being depleted.
After opening the third natural joint a huge energy wave suddenly shot out from Yuna's body, the king of the roo tribe was thrown quite far away due to the energy wave.
Yuna opened her eyes slowly then got up to her feet, watching her palms ‘Although the damage to my physical body slowed down, the third nature joint was unable to stop the destruction. I should as soon as possible open the fourth natural joint.’
The king of the roo tribe began to regret telling Yuna about how to absorb the spirit in this place because in the end the woman was only able to reach the third natural joint by absorbing everything.
‘Don't say he only has worldly blood?!’ The king of the roo tribe began to realize the reason Yuna had still not managed to open the fourth natural joint despite having already absorbed millions of spirits. His face soured considering that the last spirit left was only himself now.
The man's feelings get worse as Yuna's gaze leads to him.
“Ti-no, don't do that. ” The king of the roo tribe stepped back to see Yuna approaching towards him.
“If I die isn't that bad for you?”
“No, your death will not affect me, if you die I will—”
“You'll be free?” Yuna laughed softly, “Then after being free what are you going to do? Just being a ghost spirit? Or do you think you'll find someone who can avenge you?”
“Be aware there are not many people who can avenge you in this world. Against hermits? Do you think they're crazy enough to make it happen?” yuna continued.
“You speak as if you can avenge me.”
“Of course. If I succeed in becoming a hermit I promise I will do it.”
The king of the roo tribe could see the seriousness that radiated from Yuna's eyes, making her think for a moment.
‘By opening the third natural joint actually he already has hope to pass the process of body reconstruction. But it is like a gamble because the failure rate is quite large. If he succeeds, it will be bad news for me because he will meet with the spirit of the tirta tribe leader. If he fails I will be free, but according to what he said .. I will return to being a wandering spirit who has no destination.’ The king of the roo tribe was drifting in his mind.
“Alright, I will give my spirit to you. Don't forget to keep your promise.” The king of the roo tribe had established himself after going through a long consideration.
Yuna smiled, she had expected that the old man would not want to be overpowered by hermit spirits and would put his revenge instead of returning to being a wandering spirit.
“Sure, I'll keep it.”
Yuna then absorbed the old man's spirit.
Unlike when absorbing millions of spirits that had no memory of life, the old man's spirit displayed a series of memories of his life.
Those pieces of memory kept rolling inside Yuna's head, not long after that Yuna started to find herself somewhere. The woman saw two young men fighting, the look on their faces seemed happy as if enjoying the fight.
“I admit defeat.” The silver-haired man raised his hand when the fingertips of the long-haired man had already touched his neck.
The long-haired man sighed before lowering his finger. “How can the successor of one of the strongest tribes give up so easily? I suggest you practice more, Marc.”
Marc looked down lethargic, “Ya .. I was too weak. Dad must have been burdened for having a child as untalented as me.”
“Roo tribe leader candidates should not be pessimistic like that. As long as you train hard to improve your abilities, no matter how bad your talent is I believe you will surpass it one day.” The long-haired man smiled as he held onto Marc's shoulder.
“Must be, father's strength ...”
“Nothing is impossible in this world, Marc. If you can't get past it, you're just trying to get along with it. If it's hard for you, you can make yourself a good leader. After all, no matter how bad you are, the followers will not bother about it. From the way they have served you up to now, I can judge that they already consider you as a successor. So try to be more confident.”
Marc raised his head with a smile, the words of the long-haired man just now had made the heavy burden he had been carrying so far less.
“Thank you. Thanks to you my feelings are getting better now. Let's continue the duel once more! This time I won't lose to you, Joe!”
