Chapter 39 Bond Deactivated

[Warning: Due to overuse, Bond with (devil of divine flame bloodline soul) will deactivate in 0:20]

Immediately after receiving the notification, a timer window appeared and started counting down.

Just then, Liam disappeared from the spot and arrived at his room which has already been engulfed in flame from when he used the bond to combine his soul with the devil of divine flame bloodline soul.

Thankfully, he wasn't caught by inn owner and no one has gathered around his room.

Looking at the timer window proved that there was not much time remaining so Liam used his hands to suck in all the flames in the room, but he couldn't return the things that were burnt to as it was before getting burnt.

[0:01 0:00?Bond deactivated]

Liam body returned to normal, his clothes was without stain and the mask concealing his face was still intact at that moment.

Nevertheless, due to the backlash for getting so much power and using so much Abilities Liam fell on the ground and dozed off.

At that moment, an dark entity flowed into his body and started to fix his his body, adjusting his demon core to fit in with the newly found strength that Liam now possesses.

Three hours later, the dark entity vanished.

But before that, it has already done what would have taken Liam a day or longer do achieve.

This unknown dark entity has helped him to balance his foundation.

From Liam's body, black jelly like substance was released with crystal particles in it.

This was impurities that normally cause cultivator to experience hardships in their cultivation career and the crystal particles was nothing more than the the particles of his demon core that cracked during the time that he was devouring hearts and swallowing dantians.

.....

The lion legacy tree after seven hours has been burnt to the ground, such that it's root was also turned to powdery ash.

Naturally, flames can't achieve a feat such that it could take down a gigantic tree to the ground in just a matter of almost half a day.

This was only possible because the flame was a divine one, it was like another species of flame that was able to burn down such an enormous tree to the extreme roots and turn it all to ash.

The flame wall have disappeared, fully displaying the dead bodies of more than two hundred villagers that were killed by Liam.

All of them had holes in their stomach and on chests.

There was even countless numbers of vultures feasting on their meal that was hard to get.

Not even the youngest of them was soared from the cold hands of death.

'',

Meanwhile, at that moment, one of the corpse in the most unimaginable state began twitching, his fingers moved slowly and his chest began to beat once again meaning that it was starting to attain life once again even while in such state.

Soon, this person hands touched the ground and supported his body to sit up on the bloody ground where the blood have also been burnt and has turned blackish.

Immediately his body shook, the vultures fled in different directions.

His hand moved to his hair which was short and his used his hand to move it backward, revealing his face which housed a glaring eyes and a menacing smirk.

This person was no other than the great Mountain Eagle, Tian Mo Sun.

'Thankfully, I took a grade 4 bone recovering pill and a grade 5 flash returning pill, if not. that brat would have ended the life of the great Mountain Eagle inside this forest.' Tian Mo Sun thought to himself as he placed his hands on the ground and supported himself to stand up straight.

After standing up, the pain kicked in again and sent him to the ground once causing him to land butt first.

Even though he was able to take precautions before coming, those were only for returning his flesh and life back but not for recovering his strength that he have lost after the battle with the young demon.

Not only did his strength not recover, it even depleted.

He was on the verge of breaking through radiant heart realm before the fight, nevertheless after battling.

His essence cultivation dropped to level 1 of radiant heart realm.

'Did not expect such bad luck will befall me today.' He thought to himself.

Then he supported himself up and placed his hands inside his pocket and brought out a very small device that was more like a modern remote control, but it has only seven buttons, Each of them are part of the rainbow, R.O.Y.G.B.I.V

Tian Mo Sun clicked on the Yellow one, following that action of his was the elevation of the oval object that took him here.

The flying oval is also one of his creation which he named 'Oval of the mountain eagle.'

The oval of the mountain eagle hovered and arrived where he was, then he door opened and turned to stairs that Tian Mo Sun climbed inside and then he clicked the Violet button and the door closed and the oval turned invisible.

....

Meanwhile

Almost at the same time, in the forest that Liam has committed a massacre came a group of police officers who came to check what has happened with the villagers and their colleagues who came to offer the normal annual offering to the forest guardian that exists in the form of a lion legacy tree.

This group came from different directions, each officers were summoned from the police guild branches that were in other villages.

Each group, the lowest member was twenty seven and the highest was fifty.

Altogether, they amounted up to three hundred or so.

Early this morning, from the various villagers pov a thick black smoke was released into the air, it was so thick that some farmers became extremely fearful and tearful, thinking that their crops has been burnt to the ground.

Out of fear, they summoned the police guild so the police sent some of their members to go investigate the scene.

'',

The police with their signature weapon, the baton, strolled towards the scene with eyes that watched the surrounding carefully to avoid hidden enemies.

"The villagers are supposed to return last night, immediately after offering is offered." A green haired police officer said with his right hand on his chin.

"Yeah, it's a taboo to set up fire close to the forest guardian." One responded.

"Do you really think, the villagers that went in do not know that. that law is known to them as the back of their hands, even the younger ones know not to try such a thing. no matter, how I look at this, it seems suspicious."

"Yeah, that's a fact, let's hurry up, if our branch get there first then we'll receive an additional reward and even get promotion."

"Everyone move your feet faster." The green haired who was the leader of this group yelled at the other and soon they leaped into the air one after another.

Most of them even began to move through tree branches to their destination.

Soon, as they got closer the iron smell of blood and burnt meat began invading their noses causing them to increase their pace while they were still conscious.

Before one could know it they have already arrived at the spot but what they saw caused their eyes to widen.

Behold was corpse of more than two hundred, some of their faces was hard to recognize because they have been burnt.

Most of the bodies with opened chest and stomach.

The strong stench filled the air, and the noises from the vultures also filled the air.

"What could have happened here?"

"Damn, is there a very strong monsters that leaves inside this forest with strength capable of taking down such number."

"W.t.f happened here?"

They began to yell while others who weren't used to such scene began puking.

At the same time that the group led by the green haired dude saw this, there came the other groups who were as shock as their colleagues.

"Robert, go examine their wounds, I don't think this is the work of a beast." Green haired dude said to the dude that was with him before.

"I agree on that, Cringe Tang, beast devours, not injure." Robert said as he ran forward to one of the corpse that still has clothes that wasn't burnt.

The corpse was that of a lady, he tore the robe open and his eyes met with something that shocked him to the core.

"The heart, the dantian, it's gone!" He yelled in astonishment with his eyes still glued at the corpse.

"What do you mean the heart and the dantian is gone?"

"How's that possible?"

Others reacted while Cringe Tang placed his hands on his chin and watched the bodies from where he stood which was a little bit far.

"And the perpetrator also has clawed fingers that helped it to take out the heart."
