Rebirth in Against the Gods with The Ultimate System - 84 Chapter 84

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. The training of those four went well. Yun Che expected only Kon and Retsu able to emerged from the training zone due to their instant mastery cheat skill but turns out, Little Fairy and Cang Yue didn’t fall that far behind. Right now, they are currently making their way into the lair of the beast after a quiet farewell to all of the villagers. Yun Che decided that it was not their burden to fight the hidden power so the only ones who knew their departure was the clan head and his family. Yun Che had given them all his phoenix pellets because they were useless against him. So, he left them to the Feng children to use as cultivation materials. It was a teary goodbye but at least those children had the means to cultivate now. Little Fairy didn’t show any expression but she was the saddest among all of them. She assured the Feng children that she will meet them again in the future. In the end, they left the village to their next destination.

They are currently on board Cang Yue’s white eagle towards the heart of the mountain where the BOSS itself rest. Kon was sleeping due to him overused of haki in his lion form. Looks like he didn’t know that his lion form and haki were consuming reaitsu faster than opening a tap of water.

“So anyone could cultivate this kind of power?” Little Fairy suddenly asked while looking with her haki coated hand. The color of her haki was still the same as her skin but it was shining enough to make others jealous while looking at it. This is the mark of the basic stage armament mastery. Cang Yue fell asleep on her lap after being tortured by him for three days straight.

Yun Che casually replied “Nahh, wouldn’t bet on it.”

She had a confused expression and asked “Why?”

Yun Che looked at her with his usual expression and said “Yes, even if I said Haki exist within all human beings but there’s no particular art of way capable of bringing out the haki within them. Even if they aren’t cultivators yet. Aside from us, the two of you are the only ones who cultivated haki in this world.”

Then, she continued “So, you are the only one had the means of awakening them.”

“Yeah, sort of. I only awakened your haki. It depends on you two whether you can succeeded cultivating them. So technically, I am the only one can awaken them.” He fabricated a story about it once more. In the beginning, he said that he could awaken their haki by injecting his powers in them but the truth was actually the system itself. The process was relatively simple because their haki were activated by a simple push of a button. So, in the end. Haki was like given by the system to anyone he desires. From the system’s trivia, humans in this world could use haki originally but their generations are slowly being blocked from accessing them. So, no matter how genius they were from the beginning, they will never access or awaken their haki for the rest of their lives.

Little Fairy nodded in surprise and continue to observe the coating on her hand. “Still, both of us achieved basic stage in observation and intermediate stage in armament in just three days is just a miracle.”

He rolled his eyes and said “You girls had it easy, basic stage took three months and advanced stage took almost two years to be perfected for ordinary humans. But you two perfected the basic stage in just three days.”

After awakened their Haki three days ago, these two had a lot of problem getting them under control. They could detect a lot of intents and energy signatures from the nearby village as well the forest animals. He never knew both of them had spectacular will power in them. Probably born from their past based from what he read from the trivia. He had to suppressed their inner will power and releasing them bit by bit so they could get it under control. After a few hours, they were finally used to the haki sensation. Yun Che used a paper fan as a method to provoke the girls instead of a wooden stick like certain someone. He had them blindfolded as he slowly slapped their head using the paper fan.

Little Fairy was used to battle sensation so she could detect intents from his paper fan and dodged his strikes accordingly. He still managed to hit her head as revenge for going full strength on him during their training in the past. He explained that Observation Haki was more on intent and she could easily dodge them. However, Cang Yue took a lot of his time. She was slapped by the paper fan countless of times due to her inability to dodge the strikes. She explained that she knew the intent was coming from but didn’t dodge it. After slowly getting used to it, she was finally able to dodge the attacks. Armament mode was quite easy for them to master as they channeled their will power into their hands and weapons. They could notice that their skin and weapons were shining by the haki itself. But, Yun Che did warned them that consecutive use of haki could deplete their stamina and making them tired faster. So he had them use haki only if necessary.

From the system, basic Observation just be able to enhanced senses, read intents, detect aura and predict attacks within a small scale range. Intermediate Observation can sense larger areas while advanced can see the future for a limited of time. As for Armament, its basic simply enhanced their bodies to hardening mode and able to touch intangible beings. Intermediate can enhanced weapons while advanced users can generate greater hardening which turns their weapons and body to shiny black jade like color. As for Conqueror’s will, basic just injects fear and provocations to opponents. Intermediate can knocked out anyone with weak will power while advanced can attack those with greater will power and force them to submit to fear while still being conscious. But, those with greater will power will not be submitted.

Due to Retsu’s keen intellect, she could master Observation Mode and Armament Mode to advanced stage with Yun Che’s help. It didn’t take her long to dodge all his paper fan strikes as she was used to her instincts back then. With her advanced observation mode, she could tell where the strikes coming from by predicting the future and trained her body to dodge accordingly. However, Yun Che warned her that future predictions are sometimes useless in battle if she reacted too early. If that happens, the opponent can change their attacks and the outcome of the future. So, he did warn the her that predicting might be useful but it’s useless when your opponent can change its outcome.

As for her advanced armament mode, it only took her a day to fully mastered them. It was shocking enough she could turn her arm, clothes and weapons to shiny black. Speaking of her Haoshoku, it was quite shocking when she first released them. Due to her first time usage, she released her haki towards her surrounding and knocked out all the animals in the forest. Even her haki affected both Little Fairy and Cang Yue and shook them in fear. If it weren’t for Yun Che. They probably knocked out already. Kon passed out from her haki. She apologized to them countless of times and their bond as sisters simply brushed it aside. After several target practice with the demon beast in the area, she finally controlled her haki and able to use them perfectly. Combining her slaughter aura and Haoshoku, everyone will probably scared shitless of her.

Yun Che suddenly heard a voice from his mind. It was none other than Retsu. If she’s using this method to talk, then she must have something to talk away from the ears of Little Fairy and Cang Yue.

She then asked “Young master? Maybe we can teach Sister Jasmine to use haki. I bet she’s curious about it.”

He petted her head and answered “Way ahead of you. Love. I taught her that during out sweet time in the trial area. She asked me all about it in the trial and I have no choice but to teach her. She was able to do it and the best thing was she too has it.”

She widens her eyes upon the revelation and said “She has….”

“Yeah, Haoshoku No Haki. Jasmine had a sad past and probably her will power was slowly awakening it. When I unlocked her haki, it unlocked as well. For one month, I trained her just like I trained you to use those haki and her mastery took her ten days to reach intermediate stage of Haoshoku No Haki. She achieved advanced stage of it during the day the phoenix dissipates the last of its soul to send us out of the trial zone. As for her observation and armament, she achieved advanced stage in just three days.”

Retsu slowly smiled and observed the sky above them. “Sister Jasmine sure is a genius. Right?”

“She sure is, except you and Kon. She’s the only one capable of achieving advanced stage in less than a month.

“Kon’s an advanced stage haki user?”

“For Busoshoku of course. I am impressed he was able to turn his whole lion body to black. His Kenbunshoku was still in the intermediate stage. Then again, you two were kind of cheated using the system though.” He sweat dropped when he remembered how these two trained like crazy to master the haki. Even Kon wasn’t being stupid for once.

She slowly smiled and rest her head on his shoulder. “Ara..ara… That’s how we were born, young master. It’s not like we wanted to. So, Kon has Haoshoku as well?”

“No, last time I checked, the system said he didn’t possess enough will power or killing intent to awaken Haoshoku No Haki. Well, basically. If he still fooling around and becoming a perverted lion plushy, he will never awaken his Haoshoku. Which is a good thing. Wouldn’t want to see a lion plushy knocks girls out and sully their bodies.” He slowly said as he watched Kon snoring on the eagle’s body.

Retsu look at Kon causing him to shiver in sleep. She said in a deep tone. “Better not be, I’ll kill him if he does that. So. What is the current stages of Sister YueChan and Sister Yue?”

“From training, their observation mode almost touches the threshold of intermediate stage as their sensing area are larger now. I am impressed when they can use intermediate stage of Busoshoku though. They can enchant their weapons with it. Even though its weak but they can do it.”

She had a smile on her face and said “So, both of them are considered passed?”

“Yes, they can help us fighting these beings.” With that, Retsu smiled earnestly and rest her head on his shoulder. Little Fairy watched them and had a small smile on her face. But, she could still felt jealous from their action.

“Ehem.” She fake cough before jolting both of them from their intimate action.

She turned her head showing her discomfort and said “You two have been quiet for a while. So, anything we know about this ‘being’?”

Yun Che fake cough and regaining his composure. “Right, ehem. Ordinary humans can’t command hollows but I think something is controlling them to attack that village. If I am right, we might face an Intermediate greater stage hollow this time.”

Retsu cutely tilted her head. “Intermediate stage greater hollow?”

Yun Che slowly explained “From where we come from, we called them ‘Adjuchas’.”

Little Fairy slowly said “Adjuchas?” This is the first time she heard a different term for these hollows. Last time it was Menos, then Gillians and now Adjuchas?

“Adjuchas are intermediate greater hollow but I don’t know their exact cultivation yet. They are hollows who still retain their hideous form but they were able to attain intelligent just like a human. One Adjuchas type hollow can destroy this entire empire if it wants. If I am right, we might face even greater danger this time.” Yun Che said while maintaining the seriousness in his eyes. He knew the exact strength of the hollow and his level was more than enough to combat it. However, he must make sure of its level first before engaging it. The reason for his battle is obvious, he wanted to level up but at the same time. He wanted to prevent the birth of a ‘Vastolorde’. If those things exist, Profound Sky Continent will fall under chaos by these hollows.

Sensing his seriousness, Retsu holds his hand “Young master, are you sure you want to do this?”

He said and reassured her. “Yeah, it is a matter of the future of this continent. If this hollow makes a breakthrough in the future, then all hell will break lose. I’ll be fine.”

“Hmph, Kon-sama would be handling things if you run away. I wanted to test out my new black coated lion form.” He suddenly wakes up from his sleep and was listening on the strength of the Adjuchas. He was scared but he had to act tough in front of the ladies which they brushed it aside.

“Yeah, says someone who passed out after a few minutes in that form.” He was referring to his black lion form. He didn’t even last few minutes last time before passing out.

“Korra! I can control it now remember. Can’t have you and the ladies take the spotlight from me.” He said causing Yun Che to grab his head. This guy’s dumb but he can make the situation livelier.

Yun Che followed the reaitsu residue left behind on the phoenix’s ruins. Looks like one of the Menos managed to get away before he made his appearance. He detected an unusual reaitsu came from deep in the mountains and instructed Cang Yue to bring her eagle to that area.

The reaitsu was getting stronger as they getting closer to the area and it spooked Cang Yue from her slumber. Due to their mastery of Haki, they can ignore some of the pressure but they could still feel the heaviness of the pressure in that area.

“Looks like we’re getting close.” They arrived at the mountain area that seems to look like a giant crater. The rocky mountains in that area looks like perfect cover to hide. Both Retsu and Yun Che detected more than one reaitsu came from that area. If they were to gauge, it seems like probably hundreds of hollows gathering here.

“Let’s get off here, we’re probably….” He didn’t even finish his words before a sudden attack came from below them.

“ROOOAARR”

“Damn it!!!” All of them are ejected from the eagle as a giant centipede like hollow suddenly emerged from the ground and trying to bite them. Yun Che immediately draw Zangetsu and fire a sword wave and sliced its mask apart. Gigantic it might be, it was still below Spirit Profound Realm. Cang Yue stored her eagle back into her seal and hitch a ride with Little Fairy. Since she’s the only one who couldn’t fly yet, she had to do it.

All of a sudden, more than one hollow emerged one after another. Probably they heard the centipede’s attack just now. All of them immediately engaged in a war against the hollows once more. After learning haki, Cang Yue and Little Fairy’s attack was getting faster and stronger as they can detect intents and hidden signatures now. They were able to coordinate their attacks well. But, Retsu was even faster. She jumped from hollow to hollow slice them apart with her haki and kido coated hand. The coatings transformed her hand into a human blade and she jumped and sliced them apart. As for bigger hollows, she just punched the hell out of them as they burst into pieces after one punch. Sometimes, she threw her haki enhanced throwing knives on them which kill them in one shot. Under her usage, haki was obviously overpowered.

Not wanting to lose, Kon transformed into his lion form and started shooting fireballs from his wings. Yun Che taught him how to infuse haki into his attacks and enhanced its attack powers. All of them basically did the same thing, infused their attacks with haki and the result was devastating. He merely sighs at their antics. All of them basically wanted to test haki and their capabilities. Which is kind of overkill. As someone who was used to them, he just used ordinary methods to combat these low level hollows.

Cang Yue immediately exclaimed “Incredible, I never knew haki was this strong.”

Yun Che shot up another sword wave and said “It gets better when you mastered the advanced version in the future. This is just the crème to the crop.”

“ROOOARRR” All of a sudden, gillians started appearing on the area they just attacked. Yun Che simply swing his sword and forged a way towards the gilians.

While floating in the sky. He said while pointing at the group of Menos, “Now, why don’t you two test it on them?”

Little Fairy and Cang Yue heard him and nod with a smile. They immediately boost their speed passed the hollows towards the standing gillians. One of them managed to fire a cero directly at Little Fairy and she immediately deployed her ice shield at the same time infused it with Haki. She was quite shock as the shield didn’t shatter on impact like before. It didn’t even hurt when it hits her.

Cang Yue was even excited. She jumped towards the nearby Menos and execute her sword art against it. Last time, she couldn’t even beat an ordinary Menos as the skin was tougher despite being weaker. Even if she managed to beat it. She could only watch as it escaped back into the garganta. Now, her attacks are working and sliced its skin like hot knife through butter. She never expected her weak attacks are working. The same can be said with Little Fairy. Her ice shots penetrate the Menos faster compared to her previous encounter with it. The ice attacks cause the Menos was full of holes until it slowly fell under the continuous attacks of the two maidens. Kon transformed into a streak of light and went through those hollows while shooting off fire balls all over causing explosion erupted all over the battlefield. Since his body was tougher because of the haki, those hollows have trouble hitting his body.

Since he was able to prolong his transformation, his black lion form swings all over the battefield while shouting “Take that!!! No one can beat the legendary KON-SAMA!!!!”

“Shut up, you look like an idiot shouting off like that.” Yun Che said while shooting off more sword wave towards them.

Kon continued to jump from hollow to hollow while smashing them apart. “Let me have my moment man.”

Yun Che sighs and continued shooting off flying getsuga towards the hollows and gillians. Under the continuous attacks of Yun Che, Little Fairy, Cang Yue and Kon, the number of hollows were going down faster than they appear. His experience bar was increasing steadily and almost fill the third half of the bar. Even if it was slow, it was steadily increasing.

“Let’s push them back to the center.” He was about to push until he felt something unfamiliar.

All of a sudden, massive amount of spiritual pressure was slowly weighting all of them. Both Yun Che and Retsu were already immune but Little Fairy as well as Cang Yue seems to have a problem in standing up to it. Kon immediately jumped on his shoulder to avoid the pressure. He didn’t cultivate the Absolute Supression skill yet and didn’t know to counter these pressures. Both Yun Che and Retsu immediately stood in front them to avoid further damage.

Little Fairy slowly standing up and use Yun Che’s arm for support. “What is this pressure, it’s like I am facing a powerful expert.”

Retsu frowned her beautiful eyes and hold the hilt of her Zanpakuto. “Young master, the pressure. It’s getting stronger.”

He swings Zangetsu behind his head and slowly smile. “It’s here.”

Suddenly, multiple tears followed by pressure suddenly opened up in the sky. The tears slowly formed into a giant garganta causing Yun Che and the others immediately keep their guard up. All of a sudden, gillians with different cultivation started walking out of them. There are even second stage gilians appearing in front of them.

“Hmph, you humans are getting brazen this past month. Since you’re here. Save me the trouble of hunting you and claim whatever is in that mountain.” A creature suddenly walked out of the tear and looking at them with its creepy eyes. All of Yun Che’s party have shock in their eyes as they witness the hollow’s form in front of them standing above the air.

This hollow was the same size as all of them and even walks just like a human. If he were to describe, this hollow really looks instead of human. Spreading its demon like wings behind its back, it slowly floats in front of them looking as if they were an existence beneath it. The hollow has white humanoid form as well as arms and legs looked like they were armored gauntlets. Its body was covered with white armored skin and has a long white tail behind it covered with red linings all over its body. Its creepy white mask has four blade like horns with a diamond shaped mark in the middle of its forehead. Its eyes’ socket covering its yellow eyes and had a skull mouth underneath it. They didn’t even forget the hole in the middle of its chest.

Feeling uncomfortable while looking at the hollow, he immediately asked the system. “System, scan the strength of this hollow.” Suddenly his eyes widen upon seeing the result given by system. Retsu immediately saw his expression and started to ask him.

Little Fairy slowly stood up and widen her eyes upon this hollow. “What is that thing?”

Cang Yue widens her eyes as well while holding Retsu’s arm “Sister YueChan, I don’t think I can fight that thing.”

“Young master? Anything?” Retsu was pretty much the same, she felt this hollow was a lot stronger than her but she kept a calm mind and asked Yun Che.

Yun Che kept a serious face and said “I don’t know about this. Looks like our opponent is stronger than I thought.”

“How strong is it?” She asked him again.

“Scan it and see for yourself.” Retsu nodded at his response and performed a scan on it. She slowly widens her eyes and immediately hold Yun Che’s hand. Both of them got the same notification and it says the same thing.

[Level 85, Fifth Level of the Tyrant Profound Realm Intermediate stage hollow, Adjuchas.]
