Sky Fall Legend
/ Sky Fall Legend 72 Dark Jumble Fruit 2
Oulan Mercy did a hand seal, and then a hand made of evil looking insects shot out of his robe and dragged Dessa up to eye level by her face. Oulan slowly licked her face before licking his lips in ecstasy. This action was sickening, making Dessa cringe, as he continued, "If only you did not have the stench of so many men on you, I might have eaten you already. There is simply no more primordial yin within you at all. Tell me, little slut bitch, where is that noble brat your uncle mentioned? He was hiding with you, right? Take me there, and I promise to be real gentle later."
"Who… who… AH! No~~ please don't…." Dessa Chimes' eyes were wide in shock and terror as she struggled in the insect hand's embrace. Oulan's more than foul breath stuck to her like glue due to the saliva on her cheek. Dessa almost felt like dying right here and now. Fear had forcefully paralyzed her. 'Dead… wretch? Wyven? What has this animal done to my uncle?! He was perfectly fine just a few weeks prior, how could…'
"Ah? Oh, I get it, the old man right? Tsk tsk, my little pretties always tell me to watch what I say to mortals… hm?" Oulan Mercy furrowed his brows, and then looked at Dessa with a strange black light in his eyes. "Oh no... no, no, you are no mere mortal. Fledgling Saint realm? How curious. The reports say you were raised in captivity, long since addicted to sex and drugs. Has it even been a month since your master was murdered? How could you suddenly be a saint? It's ridiculous. Unless!"
Oulan Mercy grabbed Dessa's hands aggressively and scrutinized them. Upon finding nothing, he tossed her away. Dessa's body slammed heavily into the cave wall, and her arm was pierced through by a large magic serenity crystal.
"AHHN!" Dessa moaned loudly in pain, as she bled all over her leather skirt. The serenity crystal reacted to the pure force in her body and emitted a pink glow that was freezing her arm slowly.
"Hey bitch, calm down. No need to flirt with me, I'll definitely be eating you, hehe," said Oulan Mercy mischievously. "Now tell me, little slut, where is the damn noble boy?"
Dessa Chimes glared at this villain coldly and prepared to spit blood in his face! She would rather be tortured to death than betray her savior. However, before she managed to take action, her consciousness was forcefully seized by Autumn Saver! Such a move could surely injure her soul, but Autumn Saver couldn't allow her to do such a deadly thing. Luckily, her soul force was too weak to put up a fight against the treasured sword.
"He… he is… down. Down below…" Autumn Saver controlled Dessa Chimes' body with difficulty to speak and point towards the lower levels in spite of Dessa's fierce resistance. Due to this, the harmony between the girl and her armament was severed thoroughly. Dessa then collapsed, unconscious.
"Bah, no fun, no fun. You actually snitched. No matter then, you can bring the girl along, my tools." Oulan Mercy frowned and begin to walk in the direction he had been pointed in. The male Maniac Goons couldn't resist licking Dessa all over with their slimy tongues, as they tied her in ropes of darkness and dragged her along. The fiend poison in their saliva dissolved Dessa's clothes and seeped into her open wounds. This left her in tatters, as her skin started losing its vibrancy. Oulan Mercy licked his cracked and ugly lips, "Don't think you can sleep through this little slut, I'll be back for you after I clean up the brat who stole what's ours. Do not play with her too roughly, tools, I want her in one piece when I return..."
Oulan Mercy slowly walked away to the sound of goofy giggling and slurping noises, a sick grin on his face. He traveled down to the third level, recruiting more level one and two fiends on the way by placing mind control insects in their heads. However, before he could get too far, he felt the ground rumbling greatly as if an earthquake was coming. "What in the…"
...
— Earlier on the fourth sub-level…
50 meters in front of Jodye Trill and his two guardians was a sea of green eyes, tongues, sharp and menacing teeth, grey wraiths, blue ghosts, and green ghosts, oh my! There were thousands of fiends, and more than a few of them were at the fourth level. Jodye had yet to even fight a fourth level fiend, and now there were hundreds of them. Worst of all, there was a pair of red eyes in the center of the darkness. Initially, all of these eyes were centered on that pair of red eyes. Until Jodye and Xavier stepped within range of their detection, they all turned to face them as if it was planned.
"Red eyes… a Ghoul." Jodye Trill felt his stomach turn, and he finally tensed. He activated his astral points and starting circulating the titanic rage law.
Voodoo Creatures such as Fiends had different tiers of strength. Lower tier fiends were the most commonly seen voodoo creature, any dark space full of resentment or dark powers could produce fiends. The next tier up were Ghouls. Ghouls were creatures born of death laws, wicked deeds and thoughts, and other negative emotions. They were superior to fiends as they could wield the power of death easily. Unlike fiends, they had a form that wasn't mostly darkness. They typically had rotting flesh and virulent forms. Powerful Voodoo priests who died in resentment may return as a ghoul through malicious curse arts.
First level Ghouls had the strength of a Great Scholar rank Sage or a Killer Essence rank Saint. Two existences who could absolutely barbecue Jodye. Even the weakest ghoul would have 200 BP as its base strength! This wasn't something the current Jodye could compete against without suffering a bit. Even worse, this ghoul seemed to be at least at the second level!
"Is that? Hoe. Lee. Shit," Sylvester's eyes suddenly sparkled like a greedy wolf, his tongue hanging out. It was quite comical, but Jodye wasn't in a laughing mood as he turned to look at this guy. Sylvester sneered and said via telepathy, "Kid, with eyes like ours should it be so utterly dark over there? Also, why aren't they attacking?"
"This…" Jodye Trill thought about it seriously. His mind flashed to a book he had read in his early days. His eyes suddenly brightened as he exclaimed, "Could it be a treasure? But what treasure would… wait… no way, it can't be! The Dark Jumble Fruit?!"
In places where origin energy and laws were in abundance, unique plants known as origin flora could potentially be born. The Dark Jumble was an origin flora that only grew in areas full of voodoo and yin forces. It resembled a huge piece of tumbleweed made of stone, and the fruits it produced were full of pure origin and dark forces. The Dark Jumble regularly consumed the surrounding light and origin energy to condense fruit. That's why they were characterized by the complete absence of light. The origin forces in a dark jumble fruit were enough to allow an Earth Science realm origin practitioner to advance an entire rank in a couple of days.
"How much dark jumble fruit do you think there are? For there to be this many fiends and we still can't see them, great Gaea, there must be at least four or five of them," said Jodye Trill softly.
"Jodye, it's a ghoul! A whole damn ghoul, what level are you? Let's get while the getting's still good," said Xavier Tricko as he walked in the other direction. However, he swiftly stopped. "Uh-oh."
"Uh-oh? What uh…oh." Jodye Trill turned around and saw a huge green ghost. This ghost was a head taller than Sylvester and had bright, well-defined eyes and sharp, vicious teeth. A long tongue with a green glow was hanging out its mouth.
Level 4 Fiend, Maniac Hungry Ghost!
"How?" Jodye was terrified! For this fiend to sneak up on them, it would mean that its soul force was at stronger than his own! Jodye was currently wearing Pharaoh's Law, so his current soul force was no joke. His serenity source beam could potentially take out a Killer Essence rank saint and even some Great Scholar rank sages.
"Lefting such… soon." Jodye grimaced as he heard the barely intelligible voice of this fourth level maniac fiend enter his mind. This fiend had such a powerful soul! Merely, it was a bit stupid. Was it because it was a maniac? Did the spirit class maniac fiends all have such terrifying soul force?
"Fuck you, ghost boy!" shouted Jodye Trill as his nine astral points released mighty steam from his pores. He immediately withdrew his Baleful Glaive from his space ring.
"This fiend was probably a master before his death. His resentful and vengeful soul was corrupted into a Hungry Ghost," stated Sylvester in ice-cold indifference. He sat on his hind legs with his wing tucked in. It was as if the fiends surrounding them could never intimidate a creature like him. "Well? What do you want to do, stay and fight for the Dark Jumble and Dark Jumble fruits, or flee like cowards due to a little danger?"
"Tch… if I had opened an astral gate, this wouldn't even be a problem!" Jodye Trill's main path was the Titanic Rage path. Although they both could be considered "Immortal paths," unlike the Immortal Sage path which focused on gaining immortality by cultivating energy, the Titanic Rage path focused gaining immortality through strengthening the body with cosmic forces. In the Wimpy Man realm, Jodye was unable to fuse more than one law into his astral might. However, once he opened an astral gate and stepped into the Puny Mortal realm all of that would change! At that point, he would begin to condense his own internal might, and fuse myriad powers within! This was a considerable improvement.
Nonetheless, he currently could only use the strength of 132 BP if he activated all of his astral points. This was less than what he was presently capable of without it. Before he had noticed, his body's cultivation had been surpassed by his origin strength.
"Indeed, this is why I have stressed to you the importance of origin energy," Sylvester responded directly to Jodye's thoughts via their telepathic link.
"Yeah, okay, less of that. How much of this can you handle, Sly?" Jodye Trill entered a battle stance with his Grade combat glaive facing the thousands of fiends, while Xavier stood at his back facing the Maniac Hungry Ghost, his mighty sword Fenrir also in the position to strike at any moment.
"Handle? There is simply nothing here," responded Sylvester indifferently. This threw Jodye off, but he was soon given an answer.
[Warning! Current ability exceeds the Host's realm]
[Warning! Compatibility rating is lower than required for the host soul's level!]
[Warning! Guardian 1 will soon be forced into hibernation!]
[Warning! Origin Energy consumption is far too large….]
This time when Jodye received warning messages from his heavenly grimoire, they were much clearer, he understood instantly that Sly was using an ability above their realm. Jodye knew this was possible only because of their high compatibility and Sylvester retaining his consciousness.
The sky wolf lifted his head to the heavens and released a mighty howl that sent out a shock wave of spiritual pressure. Waves of raging sky fall flames suddenly burst to life with Sylvester at the center, sweeping past Jodye and Xavier as if they weren't even there. The nirvana flames were the absolute bane of evil creatures and spirits! The fire danced about ravaging the fiends.
The next thing Jodye heard was a series of ghostly wails and screams, as a sea of black and green flames danced and devoured every fiend present. At the same time, before the wave of fatigue even set in, Jodye felt his body fill to the brim with pure spirit energy! Little black whirlpools appeared at his 27 opened doors of origin, and the pure spirit energy became pure origin energy that enriched Jodye greatly and made him feel refreshed. There was even a little green flame at a closed door of origin! Sylvester put one paw forward and disappeared into space with a small ripple.
After five minutes the flames all gathered on the spot 120 meters away as if they were sucked into a black hole. Not a single ember or fiend was left. At the place where the flames disappeared, Sylvester was in his child stage combat form, his large paw pressed on the burning body of the level 2 ghoul. Behind him, illuminated by the light of the green flames were several bushes of Dark Jumble! Each bush had 2 crystal-like, glowing purple fruits. Xavier immediately dashed over and begin collecting the fruit! Jodye Trill was startled, but he quickly ran over to help but was stopped.
"You need to cover yourself in a force that the darkness laws can't cancel to pick the dark jumble fruit," said Xavier, his body surrounded in flaming scarlet-golden radiance. Jodye was indeed aware of this, he had the titanic rage force! However, thanks to his inherited memories the young boy understood that calamity force was far more suited for this. Thus, he retreated further away from the ghoul.
"There is a level 3 Ghoul somewhere behind me, and a level 4 Ghoul standing alone on the next level. It seems like you are not yet strong enough for me to completely refine this one. X, protect the boy well while I sleep." Said Sylvester, as he glanced at the creature under his foot in disdain. It was a rotting corpse in tattered hemp cloths that kept trying to escape. "Level 2 Ghoul, Lower Zombie? Pfft."
Meanwhile, Xavier returned to Jodye's side with 8 Dark Jumble Fruit and a four Dark Jumble bushes. In the center of one of these bushes, there was a small oval gemstone that looked like it was made of starlight, which Jodye swiftly stored in his space ring. "What was that gemstone, X? I have no knowledge of anything like that."
"No idea, that's why I brought it. It's obviously something awesome," said Xavier Tricko.
"Your dog shit luck never ceases to amaze me, brat. It's… shit," As Sylvester cursed his form begin to flicker between corporeal and incorporeal. He rushed out his next words as he faded into a light that disappeared into Jodye's glabella, "Listen, I'll have to sleep for awhile again. Try not to be too stupid while I'm out. X, protect Jodye at all costs!!
After Sylvester disappeared, the Zombie slowly got to its feet, its blood red eyes glowing intensely with crimson light. Suddenly, it let out an exaggerated moaning noise!
"UARNGH!!"
Thousands of red and green dots, vicious razor-sharp teeth, long tongues, evil whispers, wails, shrieks, and snickering suddenly appeared all at once. Jodye Trill and Xavier Tricko looked at each other and saw absolute terror in each other's eyes. However, they both felt how excited the other was as well. Was there a huge secret in this dark cave? Jodye and Xavier seemed as if the two were peas in a pod. They both lived for adventures!
However, fun or not, this was a perilous situation! Worst of all the owner of the indomitable Sky Fall Flame was taking a damn nap! There was no way for this tour of the underground world to continue without risk.
The boys both spoke to each other in unison, "RUN!!"
The first thing they needed to do was regroup.
