Heavenly Dao Child - Chapter 334
Ryuu flew as fast as he could while being followed by screeching and screaming Zywia, “I told you it was a bad idea.”
Ryuu screamed back at her at the top of his lungs, “How would I know that a pack of over hundred Gale wolves the size of a place was nearby.”
Zywia snapped back at him, “Shut up you over confident callous idiot.”
The duo dashed towards the caldera at an incredible speed with a pack of over hundred Gale wolves hot on their heels, Ryuu’s plan was simple in order to activate the array he was to draw a couple of spirit beasts into the caldera then upon their entry the array would activate, well it would activate the array but what happened was they were successful in drawing the attention of spirit beasts and unfortunately for them it was actually a pack of spirit beasts bigger than palace moving after them with tremendous speed.
As the last of the spirit beasts entered into the caldera the array glowed a calming white light then it happened, the wolves howled in agony as they were dragged to the ground as the blood and flesh seemed to be torn from its body and beings drained towards the center as it began to revolve like a small twister of blood and gut formed before it gave a sound that seemed to be akin to fart that made Zywia wrinkled her nose in disgust before a blood mist was released in the air, they did not have to wait longer as more howls were heard as even more beasts dashed in but unlike before the beasts looked a bit more feral with drool dripping from their snout and eyes red, the process repeated again and for the first time Zywia understood why Ryuu asked her if she was averse to a gore and blood, it was too cruel to watch as the beasts in trance being dragged here to their doom, their bones snapping their flesh being torn apart, then being blended before being released into the atmosphere to lure even more.
Ryuu tilted his head as he spoke, “Let us leave if we stay longer even with my protection we will be dragged in this mess, and oh catch this.”, he threw a pouch towards her which she excepted with a raised brow as he continued speaking, “Every nucleus gathered will be divided equally and send to both of us, no matter how far we are so there is nothing to worry even if by some chance we get separated.”
Zywia bit her lips as she spoke with a frown, “It is too cruel.”
Ryuu raised his eyebrow as he spoke, “Maybe but we are in a place where hard choices are to be made and I made one where I nor you will have to work too hard, besides this spirit beasts are abnormal.”
Zywia frowned at that as she spoke, “What do you mean by abnormal?”
Ryuu tilted his head as he spoke, “The more stronger the lineage of a spirit beast is the more difficult it is for it to take on a human form but this beasts do not have strong lineage yet why even after stepping into Mystic Immortal Emperor did they not have any human form not to mention their size.”
Zywia looked at them thoughtfully before her gaze turned into pity with a hint of remorse in her eyes as she spoke with a whisper, “Even then you are a cruel man Ryuu, this array why did you invent it.”
Ryuu glanced at her stoically as he spoke, “Would you believe me if I say this is nothing but an accidental discovery not to mention why are you getting upset after all the condition has been designed for us to kill, so please stop thinking about them and let us leave.”, with that Ryuu started leaving while Zywia cast one look back before she left.
Ryuu snorted at her reaction, ‘I never knew she would be over reacting so much as if she had never had to kill anyone before, what kind of sheltered life did she lead and Eden is a place where it is killed or be killed.’, as he thought that he grimaced, ‘Since I have started walking in the road of cultivation I have lost my aversion to killing my past self would be horrified at that, but it was not as if my hands was clean, after all I was cruel indeed.’
Ryuu’s mind went back to a certain incident in his life as ‘Keitaro Inazuma’, he was in his lab working hard he had been working hard for trying to find a cure and in process of doing so he had accidently created a Virus a very deadly virus that would make the current pandemic look like a simple cold, but unfortunately protocol dictated that the virus could not be simply destroyed but to be simply cared into the deepest part of WHO Headquarters where it is to be safely and securely ‘dealt with’.
Keitaro sighed as he reached for the cup of coffee, he felt so drained and tired he had been working tirelessly for a cure for a miracle yet all he was awarded with a much more dangerous and powerful virus which had to be immediately transported to the Headquarters the crew had arrived to safely transport his latest success/failure even he did not know what to dub it, once of his colleague had graciously volunteered to help them while a tired Keitaro watched from a safe monitoring room along with others.
“Oi Keitaro, when did you sleep for the last time? You look more and more like an owl with those dark circles that has formed around your eyes.”
Keitaro snorted at that as he spoke, “I can do many things instead of wasting my time sleeping MacDougal.”
The person who was addressed as MacDougal shook his head in exasperation as he spoke, “You are an idiot, your brain needs some rest it would not do us good if one of our brightest minds collapse from lack of rest on top of that a refreshed mind works better.”
Keitaro gave him a deadpanned look as he spoke, “Mr. MacDougal have you seen yourself in front of the mirror then after you have done so please come again and give me the advice.”
MacDougal had a sheepish grin on his face as another spoke in impatient manner, “Stop it you two act professionally.”
Both Keitaro and MacDougal’s shoulder slumped as they both spoke in a monotone, “Yes your Highness.”
The woman in question simply rolled her eye as she muttered under her breath something akin to immature brats, the duo gave her a small smile as their eyes turned towards the screen as they watched the sealed vials containing the deadly virus being put inside a special container, then it happened one of the vial slipped from the fingers fell on the floor and broke.
The people who were watching had their eyes open wide with horror at that as the only female in the room Naomi let out a gasp as Keitaro sprung into action as the occupants of the room tried to make a run for the door, but they took only a few steps as they started bleeding from every orifice on their face, as button was slammed by Keitaro as a alarm started to wail loudly.
The entire base was in alert as people were frightened by the alarm as Keitaro looked through the television screen as he watched his colleague of many months banging through the door asking and crying for it to open for him to let out.
“Kei please open the door, please open it I do not want to die please I have kids, Kei bro please I do not want to die I do not want to die.”
As the person cried hysterically he started coughing out blood as he went deathly pale as bluish veins appeared over his face, Keitaro spoke in a monotonous voice, “I am sorry Christen may you never forgive me.”
The person was silent as were the other 5 along with him before he shouted, “CURSE YO…”, but before he could speak Keitaro had already pressed a button that had started the sterilization process of the room in other words an intense flash of heat and flame had turned everything inside the sealed room into molten slag that will never be opened again, that day Keitaro was forced to burn 6 people one of which was a friend of 6 years.
Keitaro meanwhile had already curled up in a ball horrified at the action he took.
Ryuu blinked as he turned to look back towards Zywia as he was brought out of his day dream as he spoke, “You were saying something?”
Zywia huffed at him as she spoke, “For the last 5 minutes I am asking you, what is the name of the array?”
Ryuu gave her a small smile as he spoke, “God Killing Array.”
