Whoosh!
Within a forest, a large mountain stood tall, its peak reaching for the heavens as clouds and fog surrounded the mountain peak and even extended towards the body of the mountain. The mountain was more than tens of meters tall and one wasn't even able to peer through the peek.
At the mountain side, the air rippled and a spatial tear appeared in midair like a slit in the world.
A handsome young man walked out together with a dark beset with red strips over its body resting on his shoulder.
As the young man exited the spatial tear, he immediately sat cross-legged on the mountain ground, not minding the trees or whatever beast might be lurking around the corner.
Some time passed and the young man abruptly stood up. A large blade that was as tall as him and as wide as a door appeared on hand.
In that instant, the young man swung the blade in midair.
Whoosh!
There was no rumble, and neither was there any sound. But a small tear quietly appeared in midair, revealing what was on the opposite side of the tear, it was a bustling market. But before the young man could figure out where exactly that was, the tiny spatial tear closed. But the young man didn't seem dissatisfied in the slightest.
In fact, the young man seem slightly contended with what he had achieved. Any time he wished to use this comprehension of space to open a spatial gateway, he always failed and would require using brute force to forcefully open a spatial tear, but the spatial tear could lead anywhere maybe to even a distant planet.
But now, he had combined his comprehension of the Law of Space with a bit of his strength, opening a spatial gateway not too far from his present location and while it wasn't fully developed, it won't be long before he was as able to appear anywhere in the world with a swing of his blade. The young man smiled at this thought.
While some might be unaware, the young man was In fact, David.
Five months have passed since the event of him killing the Dragon King Son and his near demise had occured, but with luck he was able to find drain litres of demigods blood and use them to fuel his body, practising his technique while reconstructing himself.
David had never felt stronger in his entire life. Due to him using his vampire ability to heal himself during these past few months, his vampire bloodline had reached the Integrated Phase and while his werewolf was still lacking, it was provoked David spared no effort in consuming six of the demigod corpses. It wasn't his first time tasting human flesh and blood. Moreover, he had given in to his inner wolf and had blocked off his sense of smell and taste and even sight therefore he wasn't disgusted when the beast was done feasting.
With the massive amount of energy within the bones and the bodies of a demigod, David evolved, advancing to the Integrated Phaser stage while his Dragon Body also advanced to the Penta-gene Phaser state as he consumed Azeal's Dragon body without leaving a single bone behind.
Due to the destruction and reconstruction of his body, as he practised the Ancient Strengthening Technique, he had broken past Silver Body and was finally at the gold level stage. Something which he yearned for a very long time ago and he finally received. But the most astonishing change he acquire, was his body.
The megaton blade weighs no different than a normal blade to him now. David couldn't measure just how strong he had become during the period of five months.
Now, his mission was to head to the Hunter family and retrieve his master. While David wasn't sure if he should exchange, his master for the Unity Technique, he was still thinking about it. And maybe while when he finally reached there, he might have made a decision.
David stood up and his eyes glazed over as though he was seizing something else apart from empty space.
He then took a step forwards and the surroundings instantly blurred. His environment took a drastic change in the blink of an eye. Snow fell all around him as David appeared at the top of a roof and as he gazed around, listening to the sounds in the area, he figured he had teleported into a city.
"Not too off from my predestined location." David touched his bearded chin as he thought.
"Hey!" The shout of a lady caught his attention and he looked down. It was a lady who appeared to be in her early forties. She was pretty too
"What are you doing on my roof, you bastard!?" The lady immediately cursed and David's brightened eyes darkened.
"Sorry." He couldn't help but mutter and before the lady could say any more words, David vanished from the roof and the space was once more empty.
The lady was immediately startled and her jaw hung open. She immediately gulped, and silently went off towards the city in fear. She didn't dare to stay in her house after witnessing this scene and headed towards the city where it was crowded. If the expert wanted to use her house for the night, then he was free to do so.
David arrived in a crowded market. It was night time and the weather was cold due to the snow falling down like rain. But even then, the market was crowded with people, seeking and haggling amongst each other.
David arrived before a trader and picked up a glass package, containing a beautiful necklace within, he couldn't help but smile as Persephone's beautiful face flashed in his mind.
"I must say, you have a good eye for precious items." An elderly man came out from within the store and smiled at David.
David dropped the necklace but didn't bother to change his smiling expression.
"How much for this necklace?" David pointed at the necklace he had picked up earlier.
The elderly man smiled brightly, revealing a set of crooked and yellowish stained teeth. "This necklace has been with me for a very long time-"
The elderly man was suddenly interrupted by David. "Which means no one wants to buy it?"
The elderly man's smile froze, but he was experienced in dealing with this sort of situation. "I can't sell it to people who didn't know the value of what they are buying."
"See the three gems around the heart pendant, they were carved from the mineral sources of extremely heated meteorite. See the way they glow even with no light in them." The elderly man covered the container of the necklace with both hands, leaving only a small hole to show David.
And truly, they did glow rather beautifully.
David was interested in it, but didn't want to listen to the elderly man's story. "How much?"
Best
The elderly man raised a single finger up.
David blinked his eyes. "1 star coin?"
The elderly man frowned but he shook his head, still leaving his finger up.
"100 star coins?"
The elderly man's expression fell a bit but he was rather shameless an ls he shook his head.
David rolled his eyes. "1000 star coin then?"
This time the elderly man's expression darkened and he spat out. "1 million star coin." which is equivalent to 500,000 Gyno points.
David almost choked on his own spit. A piece of jewellery worth that much wasn't something that came across his mind at all.
"Tell me you are joking."
The elderly man frowned. "That's the price of the necklace, do you want it or not?"
David blinked his eyes and saw that the old man was truly serious about selling it at that price.
David's eyes glinted as he stared at the elderly man, but the elderly man's voice sounded out. "Don't. " The trader dropped his head, cleaning the glass container of the necklace with a rather serious expression as though he hadn't said anything.
David's eyes squinted and the sound of the entire market seem to zoom out as he focused his attention on the old man.
The silence between the two became so tense a knife could literally cut through it.
"Package it for me." David finally replied, taking back his gaze from the old man.
The old man grinned from ear to ear. "Good rich lad. Give me a minute."
David rolled his eyes and he turned on his interface to gaze at his account with a slight bitterness. He only had a bit over 250,000 star coin points left.
He retracted his interface and brought out an item from within his storage ring.
It was the skull of a Atman realm expert. An integrated Phaser could advance to the Atman if he meditated with this skull for a few years, therefore, its price was worth over a few hundred thousand star coins and probably would reach a million if a rich person wanted to procure it.
