Chapter 102 Nightshade Technique

Odino silently looked at Jack's body lying on the bamboo stretch.

He had read many stories about many legends around the Kampir region. He knows many things because of his desire to learn and watch fantastical stories.

'Those moves and sword style reminds me of the stories about the Blade Dancer. Someone who was without talent soared to the sky with only his sword...interesting...I also saw someone like this in our sect who was able to do the same feats as the past legends. Not just them, some geniuses are forming their own paths to become legends. So many geniuses suddenly sprung out; it looks like a big thing is going to happen in this region.'

Odino thought the train ended there and looked at a certain place in the arena. 'My eyes are getting good at spotting geniuses these past few years. If I am not wrong, that guy might also be someone with a huge destiny.'

The guy or boy that Odino had his eyes on was none other than Yuki. He was the one who came earlier just to see the fight and try to participate in it. When he was traveling through the nearby town that was beside Highload Town, he heard that there was a genius who used a sword and was a genius participating in the White Jade Sect's selection process in Highload Town.

Yuki was searching for sword prodigies everywhere so that he could hone his skills. Unfortunately, the town he came to had no sword prodigies. Most of them relied on their bloodline's power. So, he heard there was one here, he came sprinting in there.

Yuki bravely walked onto the battleground despite not being allowed.

Odino's heart pumped, knowing something good was about to happen. 'Another intriguing guy has arrived!'

...

Meanwhile, on Gale's side.

Gale had followed those two guys to a pill shop. Along the way, he saw many town guards on every corner of the street. The moment those guards spotted this pair with Jasmine on their shoulders, the pair would kill them without any thought.

Gale felt this would alarm the whole town guard if they killed so many of them. But these two didn't seem to be worried about that. So, Gale made some assumptions. 'These guys are not afraid to kill so many guards. Firstly, it would mean they have a very strong backer or it is their last mission and they will leave this town very soon. Or it can be both.'

They entered the pill shop, and just a few seconds later Gale entered too. He had taken off his mask as it might get destroyed later on with what was about to happen.

Tring

A bell rang as Gale pushed open the door.

He glanced around and saw a simple shop interior. But there were many pills on the shelves, and there was a medicinal smell permeating the air.

However, what he saw next made him ecstatic. He saw a wall slide closer that was beside the counter.

The guy at the counter had his eyes widening; he didn't expect someone would enter at that moment. He quickly took out the sword from his storage ring.

But he was a bit late.

Gale had already come before him and burst open his head by squeezing it hard. Then he picked up the sword that the guy took out and cut open the wooden wall that was hiding the secret path.

"Let me see what you guys have down there." As he walked down the dark path, he mumbled to himself.

...

Under the pill shop was a big room that was covered by a thick steel wall. Various kinds of men in cloaks could be sitting down here and there.

Suddenly, they saw a pair of men coming down the street. On one of the guys' shoulders was a girl.

"So, they picked that girl up. I hope it doesn't disappoint the Lord."

"We spotted a great girl myself, and for their sudden massage, we backed up. I swear if it isn't good."

"Okay, calm down. Let us see it first."

Various discussions rang around the room, and from them, it seemed many were called back by those two because they caught Jasmine.

The pair came into the middle of the room and put Jasmine on the floor.

Now, everyone was able to see Jasmine clearly, and they gasped at witnessing Jasmine's beauty.

The pair who caught Jasmine became smug after seeing their partners' shock.

The guy with fetishes decided to boast about them. "Kekeke, were you guys not able to get a girl? So unfor-"

Puchi! Puchi!

Suddenly, a hand with sharp nails impaled into the pair's head through the chin.

All the other guys' eyes widened in shock after seeing such a sudden turn of events.

Jasmine, the girl they saw, who was unconscious, suddenly woke up and inserted her hand through the pair's chin like a sword.

"So, unfortunate indeed," Jasmine said with a cold but smiling face that brought shivers to most of the people's spines.

"Kill her!" One of the guys shouted, and everyone quickly rushed toward Jasmine.

Jasmine didn't faze away, as most of them were in the Foundation Establishment Realm and below it. Also, she had something under her sleeves that she wanted to try.

[ Nightshade Technique: A technique that allows the user to manipulate shadows to create poisonous clouds that can weaken or kill enemies. ]

The shadow under Jasmine expanded and enveloped five meters of her surroundings. The next second, a poisonous, dark-colored gas came out of it and attached itself to everyone's body, entering through their orifices.

All the guys inflicted by that halted their footsteps and felt extreme pain around their bodies. Like something was eating them up.

It was the poisonous gasses' fault as they had the ability to corrode spiritual energy and deplete it.

"She is dangerous; back down!" They stayed away from the shadow circle and decided to use long-range attacks. But they were still wrong about Jasmine's capabilities.

She melted into the shadows and whispered softly. "Don't run, I have many things to try."
