Cultivation Through Artifacts

"That fucking bastard killed Lukas?! Let's fucking find him and skin him alive!"

"Yeah, he can't leave this planet. Once we have our hands on him let's break his limbs and feed them to the beasts!"

"How dare he kill Lukas!? I will gut him alive with my very two hands!"

Every crawler roared with frenzied hatred, not surpassing the rage they were feeling at the moment, not even a bit.

The old crawler, whose name in truth was Bane and was the supervisor of Planet Thov, watched his subordinates with an indifferent complexion, his thoughts unknown.

The soldiers seeing Bane's indifference became silent in a blink, but the rage which still blazed in their hearts was still present in their eyes and they attempted nothing to make it vanish; they wished to show their leader that they were angry and they wanted nothing more but find the human who took one of their comrade's lives!

"I see." Bane nodded like he just understood something and without any further pretending, he let his rage ooze out of his body too.

Bam!

Instantly, like breaking a tap and letting the water surge out, a suffocating and heavy presence descended on the shoulders of the many soldiers present, while an itch of killing intent lingered in the air that was simply impossible not to notice.

"In one piece or shreds, I don't care! Find that bastard and bring him back! Understood?"

"YES, BOSS!" every creature let out a loud roar that held their rage within.

"Then move! Whoever finds him first gets a reward afterward!"

Hearing this, every one of the creature's eyes lit up like stars in the night sky while the desire to find Khal was further ignited.

"WE WON'T DISAPPOINT YOU, BOSS!!" roared each and every one of the soldiers and without further hesitation vanished from their spot like ghosts.

On that night, the entirety of Planet Thov was flooded with Night Crawlers, all of their bodies surrounded with dense killing intent that originated from their thirst for revenge!

Meanwhile, on Planet Nia, Roice was sitting in a spacious and luxurious room while with a calm gaze he examined the several scrolls he just obtained from his daughter one by one.

All of those scrolls were like treasures in the hands of someone like him, and Array Master, and couldn't help but show a satisfied and overjoyed smile from time to time.

However, like a little kid who was interrupted and halted during his favorable game, his joy quickly turned sour as Astro walked into his room with hasty steps and bowed.

"My Lord, I apologize for my disrespectful behavior, but I have major news to tell."

Roice showed a slight frown as he lowered the scroll in his hands and said, "I hope it's truly something major or else..."

Astro just nodded and quickly began to talk.

"Not quite a long time ago, I have received information about Planet Thov on going full lockdown."

"What? The planet where Khal went? Are you sure about this?" Roice's eyes widened.

"Yes, my Lord. I have dug into the matter a little deeper and it seems it's indeed true. As a fact, rumors state that all of these are happening because of a sudden and unexpected murder by a human."

When Roice heard this he felt as a slight headache invaded his mind, hence his body slowly dropped back into the chair.

After pondering about the matter for a while, Roice couldn't help but sigh and shake his head helplessly.

"Just what the hell is that boy thinks? Killing a Night Crawler in their own territory? Did he lose his mind or simply that stupid?"

The moon shone brightly on the eternal starry sky while the scenery below was bathed in silver light.

Colorful trees that swayed from side to side from the gentle breeze, crystal clear ponds that flickered under the moon's glow, and the eternal mountains in the distance that broke the clouds, giving magical feelings for those looking from below that it was a staircase toward the heavens above!

Such breathtaking scenery would make anyone believe that the whole globe was calm and serene, a literal paradise, but unfortunately, it was not the case at the moment as the rulers of this planet were in a huge frenzy to find someone they wished to see dead.

They searched every nook and cranny of the planet, even detonating several places that could provide a hideout to the individual they were looking for, but strangely, not even after three days of restless searching helped them find the murderer that killed one of their comrades.

Almost like the criminal just vanished into thin air, leaving not a single bit of trace behind!

BAM!

Somewhere in this gorgeous landscape, where one's mind would be cleared from all troubles and worries, a huge explosion occurred, sending entire trees and boulders flying in a huge arc into the distance.

"This is fucking annoying! We are searching for days now and yet, we have found not even a single footprint of his! Just where the fuck could have gone to?!"

One of the Night Crawlers that worked as a soldier under Bane's wings looked extremely angered, to the point where he couldn't resist the urge but let everything out with a powerful punch.

BAM!

"Ramin, calm down. You won't achive a thing just because you destroy the terrain."

Ramin who was ready to throw out another punch halted his action and glanced to the side, glancing at his comrade with eyes filled with blazing rage.

However, after seeing the calm eyes of his friend, Ramin took a deep breath and lowered his arms.

"Yeah, you are right, Zeke. My emotions got me just now, sorry." Ramin sighed apologetically, his eyes inspecting the several fissures in the grounds that he just created with his fist.

"Whatever..." Zeke shook his head mildly and shifted his gaze into the distance as if he wished to see what was behind the horizon.

"I won't blame you as Lukas was your best friend, maybe someone akin to a big brother, but going on a rampage won't bring him back."

"I know, but still... Losing someone close to you... Why him? It's unfair!"

Zeke took a sideways glance at Ramin before he closed his eyes and said, "Life is always unfair, you need to understand that. But..., huh?"

Just as Zeke wanted to finish talking, suddenly his eyes snapped open, and peered to the side with lightning speed.

Ramin saw Zeke's unexpected behavior and raised his guard too, but when he saw the thing his friend was looking at he just lowered his guard and laughed quietly, "Huh? Why so serious? It's just a Golden Fox, it's harmless."

Zeke however didn't talk nor move but simply stared into the little golden creature's eyes in silence, feeling slightly confused.

'I swear that I have felt being targeted just now. Even the killing intent was there, but it vanished the moment I noticed. Did it come from that creature?' Zeke pondered deeply and watched as the creature finally moved and with quick steps it vanished into the woods.

"Oh! Haha! And there he goes! It seems he didn't like you at all.." Ramin laughed when he saw this, particularly because he knew that Golden Foxes were gracious creatures and were very hard to scare away.
