Chapter 494: The meeting from different generations

"You want to train us, what do you mean?" Nila asked while holding her brother who had fainted. She was now feeling fear as she looked at Ren. She who thought that she had total control of her emotions was actually afraid.

"Well, since you guys keep on calling yourselves the Shadow Clan, I can't and will not allow you to be so pathetically weak. This is not an offer, this is an order. You will be trained by me, so you better pick up the others." 

Ren then took out a piece of paper and started drawing on it. Once he was done drawing he passed the piece of paper to Nila. 

"After you guys are done resting, head to that place and wait for me. Do not bother to escape. Though I guess you could try since that could also be some good training for me and you guys. Still, I'll warn you only once, now that I got a feel of your mana fluctuation, it would pretty difficult to get away from me." 

Ren then waved his hands as he walked away heading to the city of New Grenton. Tsukiyomi, Lara, and Valdel followed behind. 

...

As Ren got closer to the gates of New Grenton he felt a familiar presence approaching. The person that appeared before him, was a beauty that could match Tsukiyomi, it was none other than Silika. As Silka approached him the mark on his arm started shining brightly. 

"It's been a while." 

"Yeah." 

As the two smiled at each other, Silika finally took notice of the people standing behind Ren. She was especially interested in the new person she hasn't seen before. Tsukiyomi also took notice of Silika and the two began staring at each other. 

'That girl, she's an Ethereal same as Lauria. It's been a while since I've seen the supposed failed weapons of the Ancient Gods.' 

'That girl, she looks like a True Blood Vampire... No based on the feeling I'm getting she's already something else entirely.'

The two continued to stare at each other for a few seconds. Ren and the others simply watched without doing anything. Tsukiyomi started smiling a bewitching smile as she spoke. 

"Kukuku, it would seem that this incarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul really does have a lot of women around. Still, I did not expect Ren to meet a True Blood Vampire. Back in my era, I was sure there was none of them left." 

"Well, I too didn't expect Ren to bring back another one, not to mention an Ethereal... So based on how you talk, I'm pretty sure there was a first, so who was it." 

"Hmm, I don't really want to answer any of your questions, but since we are going to be seeing each other for quite some time, I guess we can bond a bit. It was Edge Regius, I was also there for Rei Kuraki. How about you?" 

"Mine was Leonard Tranor." 

"Oh, the ancient war hero, that would mean you're already pretty old. You must've known the mother of all Ethereals lady Lauria." 

"Don't speak of our ages as if it's some kind of demerit, since we're pretty much eternal beings does it really matter what our ages are?" 

"Kukuku, those are the barkings of a loser. Well fine, I guess we are eternal beings so such things aren't too important, if that's what you want to believe, sure we'll go with that. Still, I'm sure we can both agree that there is something more important than that."

"Yeah, as companions of the Strongest Mortal Soul, there is something even more important than that." 

"Heh, before we start I think we should name ourselves. I am the Eternal Moon, Tsukiyomi." 

"As expected of the naming sense of the Ethereals, such an overbearing name... Well, I'm Sili... No, I guess you have the right to hear my true name. I am Elizabeth Rogue, the last true blood Vampire, I was also the former Goddess of Death. Well, I guess nowadays I'm more of a spirit." 

"Hmph, giving out so many titles. Well, you can say whatever you want, the titles I have are so numerous it would be a pain to list them all." 

"I have more than you think, I just listed the important ones."

"Kukuku, you are an arrogant one aren't you." 

"Heh, isn't that you?" 

"Whatever you say. So what are the rules going to be?" 

"I say we use the minimum amount of mana, just enough mana to use basic skills. We aren't really here to kill each other after all." 

"I see, so how about we decide it with one attack. I don't like to do this for too long. Seeing as both of us aren't actually in the best state."

"I agree, so one strike using the minimum amount of mana. Shall we begin?" 

"Very well, let's do this." 

Silika summoned her death scythe, while Tsukiyomi created the strongest weapon in her memory. The weapon Tsukiyomi created was Susanoo, the weapon Rei Kuraki used as he faced the ORIGIN. Her replication of the weapon wasn't very decent, in fact, it was only at around two percent completion, but even so, its power was on par with a divine weapon like Silika's death scythe. 

The two stared at each other, their weapons at the ready. Silika's style was offensive-oriented, while Tsukiyomi's was more of a counter. Silika was waiting for an opening, on the other hand, Tsukiyomi was predicting what kind of attack Silika was going to initiate. 

...

"What the heck are the two of them talking about? Why are they suddenly fighting each other?" Valdel asked as he watched the two facing each other. Ren didn't answer the question as he was excited to see the outcome of this face-off. It was Lara who gave Valdel an answer. 

"Those two are like me, they're both people who love the Strongest Mortal Soul dearly. The two of them are now going to test who between them is the stronger one, as that is what is important. Since if you want to follow Ren, strength is a prerequisite. This is also going to determine who among Ren's lovers stands at the top... I really hate to admit it, but with my current power, I'm unable to face any of those two in direct combat. These two are currently the strongest in Ren's harem."

As Lara answered she clenched her fist in frustration. If her soul had finally stabilized she could have joined this fight, but right now in her current state, she would not be able to keep up with those two. 

'Just a few more days, and I'll be able to fight as well.' 

...

Tsukiyomi and Silika stared at each other for quite some time without moving an inch. The sound of the rustling leaves were the only thing that could be heard. It was then as the tension got to its peak Tsukiyomi and Silika lowered their weapons. 

"Kukuku, it would seem that there's no need for us to clash. As I imagined someone from the era of Leonard would be pretty monstrous." Tsukiyomi answered with a smile on her face while shrugging her shoulders. 

"Hmph, are you talking like that to make me feel better? I hate to admit it, but In our current state, it is obvious that you are the stronger one between us," Silika sighed before continuing. "Well, if we fought without the restrictions it would be a different story." 

"Kukuku, sure, if that's what you think." The two of them looked at each other and started smiling.
