Shadow Of The World - Chapter 9 Something Scarier Than A Fire Demon

It had been months since Souta had arrived at the sect by this point and he had tempered his body to a frightening degree using the pills and other supplements offered as tribute. He had gone to the Martial hall to buy a few techniques to fill in his arsenal and was surprisingly rewarded with a few techniques at no charge. He had asked why he was being given such treatment but the man smiled in pride and explained the defeat of Yarou had earned him a great deal of merit.

Souta would not argue with such a blessing after having seen the price of the most meager of techniques in this hall.

Thus he had spent his time training and increasing his strength, he was setting a new goal for himself. He no longer wanted to reach his old level, no, he wanted to attain the level of those ninja of myth. Legends that lasted centuries, that caused the whole world to tremble.

Souta had stayed cooped up in his yard only leaving to receive tribute or to gather supplies, his stock on his special tricks was enormous by this point. He estimated he could battle for a couple of days nonstop with all the resources he had stocked up on.

His frame had become slimmer again causing him to look like common civilian but his image was no illusion to those who worshiped him as a Fire Demon. The condensed frame caused the people to feel as if he had ascended to a higher level.

Souta needed metal now, he had stocked up on normal gunpowder and his modified version of it, he also had large stocks of alcohol to breath fire. Now what he needed was to establish a firm stockpile of his Shuriken and Kunai, he also hoped to make higher quality versions of his weapons and create a few more of his gadgets if it was possible.

He left his yard and found Nagini and the others waiting for him.

“Come woman, I need materials” stated Souta as he left for the market.

Those disciples who saw him as he passed bowed in respect and made way for him to pass easily, this caused Souta to nod in recognition to the respect shown bringing smiles to the faces of those disciples. It wasn’t long before he arrived at his destination having Nagini guide him, he was already prepared to buy out the entire stock of this trader but was wondering if it was really necessary before shaking his head.

“Lord, how may I be of assistance to you” asked the trader having heard the rumors of this man.

“Everything you have in stock, have it delivered to my yard as soon as possible” stated Souta dropping some silk and other luxuries before the trader.

Souta felt he needed to start getting rid of some of these things as they were just taking up space he could be using for other things.

“Of course Lord” answered the trader ordering his assistants to immediately load the cart and deliver it the Fire Demons yard.

“Lord, I thank you for your patronage” said the trader bowing humbly

“Are there other places I can get metals or weapons” asked Souta looking at Nagini

“Of course darling, allow me to lead the way” said Nagini emphasizing darling and casting a glance at her junior sisters.

So began the the clean out, each trader they went that specialized in weapon crafting ore selling materials for weapon was cleaned out and paid in a similar manner. Still there was a lot left but he had succeeded in his endeavors and returned to his yard. Where would once again stay in seclusion only the sounds of hammering being heard.
