Chapter 12: Come Out of Hiding
Chapter 12: Come Out of Hiding
The two voices that suddenly appeared out of nowhere shocked everyone.
Especially what they were talking about.
In the Holy Light continent, spirit power experts or more commonly known as spirit masters had a very high status and were respected by everyone.
While powers derived from spiritual energy were very common and almost anyone could use them, spirit power was a special power that only people with special talents could master.
Although spirit masters were somewhat lacking in battle, they possessed other abilities such as forming formations, forging weapons, refining pills, and many more that were very much needed by people.
Every ability that a spirit master possessed made them always treated with respect by people. In fact, if anyone asked who was the hardest to kill in the cultivation world, people would definitely answer that it was a spirit master.
It was true that spirit masters were somewhat less powerful in battle due to their extremely weak attack power. However, with one of their main skills, they were able to set up an extremely powerful defensive formation, which even people above their level had difficulty penetrating.
Of course, apart from defensive formations, they could also set up formations that could help them escape and hide themselves, which was why spirit masters were so hard to kill.
But compared to that. What made spirit masters more respected was due to their special ability which allowed them to summon mysterious Spirits. They are living things said to come from another very mysterious world.
...
When they searched for the origin of the sound, they found what looked like an egg right in the middle of a lake that had dried up.
Even though the egg looked very ordinary to the eyes of the people, they were all sure that the voices of the previous young men and women came from that egg.
They stared at what looked like eggs with wary eyes. But more than that, they seemed more curious about what was inside the egg.
After digesting the previous two's conversation for a while, they began to grasp the meaning of their words.
Alu are the fastest at understanding their words.
"Could they be?" Alu guessing.
There is a story that says:
It is said that the reason spirits came to this world was because they wanted to increase their cultivation with the cultivation resources of this world.
But in reality, spirits summoned by a spirit master to this world also have the desire to move freely without bonding with a spirit master.
However, the problem is; if they did, they would be considered to be breaking the rules of this world, and that would cause the will of this world to suppress them. It didn't kill them right away, but it would slowly reduce their strength until they fell to the point where they would become mere mortals without strength.
Even if they tried to cultivate one more time, the will of the world would still suppress them until they returned to being human.
Unless there was a spirit master trying to help them, they could only wait for death as ordinary humans.
It was an absolute rule that any spirit who came to this world could not break.
Some spirits may possess treasures capable of helping them withstand the world's will pressure. However, that in the end could only help temporarily. As time passed, even the treasure itself would be damaged by the pressure of the world's will.
Even though those rules are common knowledge that is known to all spirits. There would still be some arrogant spirits who came to this world without passing through a spirit master's intermediary.
Spirits like that, they were usually born with such extraordinary identities that they would think even the will of a foreign world would exclude them.
But the will of the world is ultimately an emotionless existence acting only according to established rules.
"It's better if I act now." ALU said after he guessed the two who spoke earlier.
Shua.
After Alu said that, Hawke's body he was using suddenly gave off black flames.
Whooss...
Before anyone could notice the changes in Hawke's body, Alu was already moving at his fastest speed.
The people could only see the black flames suddenly charge up from behind them.
"Who is that." Shouts resounded one after another.
"There is an intruder."
But Alu doesn't care about them.
When Alu arrived in front of the egg in the middle of the lake, he immediately reached out his hand to take the egg.
Before Alu's hand reached the egg, the voices of the two previous youths once again echoed from the egg.
"What." The young girl was shocked.
"This kid, he's actually a descendant of the Phoenix." Said the young man.
This time it was Alu who was surprised.
Although the Phoenix clan proudly used the name Phoenix as their clan name. In the eyes of others, it was nothing more than mere naming.
In the vast cultivation world, there were so many people who used the names of legendary beings.
If one were to search for it, perhaps on every continent one could find a clan that used the name Phoenix or Dragon as their clan name.
Some people may wish to add to their majesty while others may only wish for the blessings of those legendary creatures.
People didn't mock them but no one cared about them either.
Even though Alu's Phoenix clan was truly a descendant of the Phoenix, no one really knew that apart from the members of the Phoenix clan themselves.
ALU didn't expect that the creature in the egg, which was probably just a lost spirit, would actually know that she was a descendant of the Phoenix.
"Wow. The Phoenix Clan is a good friend of our God clan. It really is destiny to meet him here. But unfortunately he is not a spirit master." Said the young girl once again.
"No. It's true that he's not a spirit master. But I can feel an extremely powerful spirit master aura from him." Replied the young man.
Their next words left Alu reeling once again.
However, this time Alu didn't have any more time to be surprised as he felt a lot of spiritual aura directed at him from behind his body.
ALU immediately took the egg and put it in the storage ring.
"I don't know who the two of you are. But from now on you are mine." Said Alu in a low voice.
"What words, how dare you."
Alu's words made a curse sound echo from within the egg. But the words weren't finished yet because the egg had disappeared from Alu's hand.
Whooss...
Alu then jumped forward to avoid the auras that were coming towards him.
After keeping his distance from the Sacred Wind Kingdom's people, Alu then turned towards them. The black flames enveloping his body also disappeared as he turned around.
But still no one could see Alu's figure clearly because of the black robe that Alu was wearing.
Only Alu's black eyes looked like they were emitting a black light that was clearly visible in the dark crypt.
Several people then lit more fires so they could see Alu's face. But the hood covering Alu's head made it difficult for them to see Alu's face.
"Who are you? You're disguised as Hawke?"
Prince Varog who was standing at the front finally spoke. This time he no longer looked polite when he spoke.
Alu's black eyes that glowed in the darkness made even him feel uneasy. He was completely alert at the moment.
"Heh." A light laugh escaped Alu's mouth.
Alu then opened the hood covering his head while saying.
"At first I just wanted to catch you and Princess Reva. But well, I was also surprised by this matter myself. But it doesn't matter anymore now. Since everything is over, I can work on my first mission."
Alu's face was revealed completely after he said that.
Alu's expression of indifference and pale skin made Alu look like a grim reaper emerging from the darkness.
But no matter how creepy Alu looked, the women who were there and even Princess Reva herself were still stunned when they saw Alu's face.
"You may have heard of me." Alu said after his face was revealed.
Alu then took the posture of introducing himself in the style of an elegant noble.
"My name is Alu. The Prince of the Great Phoenix Kingdom."
