Episode 5 {Fifty-two Viogiol Ghost Crystal}

Phoenix stood in place it's been three hours when Kingston Yong finally told Phoenix stop walking he listened to him his mind was elsewhere he didn't know how Mil or Nick were doing but he was hoping they were fine and nothing happened to them. Kingston Yong pulled up his sleeve jacket up as he knelt down he looked like an athlete and a handsome athlete.

"It should be here," Kingston Yong mattered.

"What do you mean?"

"Well tell me what year is it?"

"Well it's 8379," Phoenix said as he touched his hair.

Kingston Yong stood up.

"Eight years since we died to think I was foolish to allow a spy in my sect."

"Yeah stupid move always check people backgrounds," Phoenix mattered.

Kingston Yong ignored Phoenix remarks.

Phoenix gave a deeply distressed look, his face deathly pale, and stood where he pointed. Phoenix observed the ground beneath his feet.

There seemed to be nothing on the floor but sand; however, Kingston Yong was confident, nodding his chin as if to urge him to move faster. Phoenix eventually raised a dagger with his right hand over his left palm.

“Haah….” Phoenix sighed.

“If you’re scared, I can do it for you?”

“…..It’s fine.”

Phoenix formed a thin line on his lips that became colder than before as he cut his left hand and his blood started to drop. Kingston Yong noticed something strange about Phoenix blood but that mysterious aura just disappeared within a second.

The wound was not deep, but hurting his own body distressed him. He squeezed his fist, trying to wring out more blood, and his palm was soon enveloped in slippery, damp red liquid. The fishy smell of iron wafted through the air, and he touched the ground with that bloodied hand.

“Doesn’t a shallow wound hurt more?” Kingston Yong asked.

“Eugh…..” I sneaked a glare at him.

“Quickly, the skill….” Phoenix grumbled, timidly.

A sparkling, gold magic circle appeared where his hands touched the floor.

However, as the magic circle emerged, Phoenix felt an unpleasant sensation of something licking away the blood underneath my palm, and I reflexively flinched.

"Don't move," Kingston Yong warned him; Phoenix shoulders trembled. He tried to ignore this unpleasant tickling sensation, holding back his rising nausea.

After suffering through fear of the unknown and stress for a few intolerable seconds, Phoenix whipped his hands off the ground after Kingston Yong stepped forward and looked at him.

“It’s done.” Standing up, Phoenix checked his palm. The wound from earlier was still open, but all the blood I squeezed out had vanished. Complicated feelings welled up inside of me. Did something truly lick at my palm? Jeez….

“It’s out.”

Phoenix followed his words and looked at the center of the Magic Circle; a black wedge, just like Kingston Yong had shown earlier, was slowly pushing out of the ground.

Phoenix pouted so he cut himself for this wait a moment doesn't that mean he has to do this fifty-two times! Fifty-two Viogiol Ghost Crystal the fuck does that mean he would have to suffer this much hell no that was just enough harming himself the last thing he wants his family thinking he has went to rock bottom!

Soon after, the golden magic circle disappeared, and the wedge laid still on the sand. Phoenix reached over to pick up the wedge, and, when his fingers touched its surface, a system message simultaneously appeared.

You have acquired an ‘essence of a vigiol ghost’ that cannot be verified because you have not yet satisfied the conditions.

Phoenix grabbed System Milo as he pulled it upward and then side to side before he sighed.

"Fine System Milo what is my reward you said you will upgrade me so I am waiting for the upgrade."

System Milo: Don't worry the host this system will keep its promise.

"Humph I would be a fool if I believed you," Phoenix mattered.

"What does it say?"

Phoenix eyes looked up at Kingston Yong.

“It says that it’s currently impossible for me to access this information….”

“Just store it in your inventory.”

“Yes…..”

"Phoenix, you know my team members died with me inside the dungeon right?"

Phoenix nodded his head.

Kingston Yong frowned for a moment before he closed his eyes.

"I believe that my friends memories were stored in this Viogiol Ghost Crystal we must find all fifty-two of them."

"I see all these people are important because...?"

"Phoenix all these fifty-two members were put into a class and each of them were hand picked by me for a damn good reason."

Phoenix nodded his head before he opened his mouth to ask another question but he decided not to bother.

"Wait Kingston but I still don't get how I haven't seen the other Viogiol Ghost Crystal?"

"Mmm I am not sure I think you were pulled in by something mysterious you wounded yourself and your blood dropped on the ground which called upon my Viogiol Ghost Crystal and that's how it happened."

"Oh I see so that's what truly happened."

“So, before we escape, we should utilize your blood to revive the Heavenly Red Lotus guild.”

“Ah….What?!”

This guy is crazy! Phoenix clenched he jaw and he shook his head he doesn't plan to die for people he has never meant hell no he would rather go through the punishment then throw his blood around like a crazy person!

“I-I don’t have that many potions right now, and a serious wound would kill me….”

“You don’t have to spill blood until you’re at the brink of death anymore. You have me now.”

"What does that have to do with anything! Hell no fuck that shit I am going to go and find Milo and Nick I am fucking done being here it's so fucking dumb for me to even go down the mountain it's way to crazy in different planets," Phoenix said as he started to walk in a different way.

"Phoenix stop I need your help."

"No way I won't spill blood anymore then I have to! My god do you think I am some kind of god I am not I am a normal G Rank Hunter who lives a peaceful and happy life so don't fucking ruin it for me!" Phoenix snapped as he kept on walking away.

“Wouldn’t you rather have fifty-two summoner's than just one?” Kingston Yong remarked.

"Kingston I am not that power hungry but this once I will help you, but I am not the type of person who does things for free because you suffered for eight years and you are reborn I will help you and your friends get revenge but you out to remember my words fifty-two times I will drop my blood but after I get all those crystal I am no longer spilling blood for stranger I am not a type of person who gives my blood out for no good reason understand that right?"

Kingston Yong smiled as he touched Phoenix's head.

"Alright little lamb."

Phoenix stormed his feet but didn't say a single word as he followed Kingston Yong.

The next five hours Phoenix and Kingston Yong found all fifty-two Viogiol Ghost Crystal. Phoenix was so tired and he dropped on the ground he waved his hand as his system appeared he pushed the coke button and he started to drink fresh and cool coke that healed his wounds and also strengthen him. Phoenix eyes were closed the moment he opened them he opened his status window.

Only two things are new this is so lame! Phoenix stood up as he dusted his hands off his pants and he looked at Kingston Yong who was just leaning against the wall as if he didn't have any care in the world. Both of them just stared at each other but didn't shatter a word. As they started walking again Phoenix found that this guy was extremely powerful it doesn't matter help get his friends take revenge and move on with his life how hard can this be?
