"I got more visitors..."
Su Min stood up as he thought for a second. He couldn't die, so he didn't want to fight for no reason...
'Maybe I can avoid them?'
As he pondered, Su Min had already pushed open the hut's door as he stared out to take a closer look outside. Nobody was visible, but he had the clear feeling that somebody was closing in on him. It was a strange sensation, like an instinct.
However, Su Min decided to wait for a while and see whether he could sense that feeling more. Or as such, procure the strength of whoever was coming to, well, kill him.
"Hm?"
In no time at all his gold eye shook as a faint ripple emerged from the horizon, wafting a faint aura of blue. He could only catch a wisp of it, but this told him enough.
He felt their strength, their strength which although faint, was enough for him to know that dealing with whoever was coming would be troublesome. He could win, but to do so he may have to expend some strength, and he cannot do that.
'I need to stay at my peak until I find about who the top power is in this place. Dying isn't an option.'
Deciding on this, Su Min fled with a firm heart. His pace was that of a blur as he rushed out of the hut, nevertheless, he didn't emit any shockwaves nor any sounds. He was silent, but this required a scrutinous mind to repel any shockwave that came with golden strands.
Even with him trying his best, he couldn't stop a faint wind from emerging.
*woosh*
"W-what was that?"
A villager who was patting a trembling girl shook as he saw a sudden blur whistle out of the dilapidated hut that was now a forbidden zone from the corner of his sight. He rubbed his eyes but found nothing that would hint to anyone moving.
"Maybe that fiend left?"
He trembled as a thought emerged from his head, but he didn't have the courage to check whether such a being had left...
"Maybe..."
...
...
"Gheheh! It has been so long since I got fresh air!"
A single man draped in black giggled as he zoomed through the atmosphere like a blitzing bullet. The mountains on the ground and the clouds in the sky seemed like trivial things in his eyes as they passed by him at an everpresent blur.
However, he didn't make a sound nor did he induce a faint echo. He was silent, so silent that it was as if he was the wind himself.
"Hrmmm, Village 1023 right?"
The man's eyes glimmered with a bright blue as he scratched his frazzled blue hair that fluttered to his waist; though his forehead was covered by the robe. A strange air permeated him, and it made odd crystalline icicles form and flutter past him.
They dazzled the eye as they refracted the light, but within this light was a chilling coldness that spewed onto the air and froze it within seconds.
Thus, this man, with his chilling blue hair and eyes, left a trail of frozen ice in the air as if he were ice himself. Was he the wind, or ice? No clue.
"Found ya!"
He let out a wide grin that revealed his razor-sharp teeth as he saw a simple villager not too far away. Though, 'far' for him was vastly different compared to 'far' for a mortal.
Seconds passed, and with a sparkle of ice, the man tiptoed onto a patch of dirt as he stared at an absent sign a hundred meters away from him. He appeared like a ghost, and nobody saw such a ghost.
He breathed a deep whiff as the icy aura that surrounded him hid, making him seem ordinary. He looked around and saw the massive crater not too far away, and also the thunder that sizzled around it.
"Interesting..."
He pondered with a strange light as he strolled up to the village. It was as if he lived there, but numerous gasps were the only thing that responded as a couple villagers spotted him in no time.
They were only just recovering from what had happened earlier, and most didn't notice the strange occurrence that happened at the hut Su Min stayed in. So, they were tense beyond belief.
"Who are you?"
A burly villager within the group and marched up to him with a faint anger. He had already been stepped on by Su Min as if he were trash, so he couldn't help but feel anger towards a new intruder.
Though, he was careful, as this person could be another monster like the one who had just ruptured the sky and tortured a kid for no apparent reason.
"Me? Ehum. One second!"
The black-robed man's eyes narrowed into a playful gaze as he stumbled around to find something on his robes.
"Ah! Found it!"
He smirked as he picked up a small bag within his black robes. It was the size of a tennis ball and was encrusted in a dark leather. He opened it and took out a small ball, then tossed it into his mouth.
"Can you stop wasting time!"
The burly man become incensed as he saw the black-robed man twiddle the bag around his pinky, but the robed man didn't seem to care as he continued to do so.
"Hmmm. I'm guessing a being that made you piss your pants was here earlier? Otherwise, why do all of you look so tense... Just let it go man!"
The black robed man spoke as his eyes stared with intent at the dazed burly man. His eyes glimmered a blue, and the aura that he was suppressing started to billow outwards...
"W-who are you?"
He took a step back as he felt a strange chill creep up his spine and tingle his mind. It made him shiver on instinct, and before he even noticed it, the air surrounding him had begun to frost!
"Eh, an investigator known as Jin Ru. Now, trash, move. I need to find and bring that stray to master!"
Jin Ru grinned as he wandered past the shocked burly man and stepped into the village. The burly man, with a sudden shake, became unable to speak as he felt his body freeze over.
"He~lp..-"
Everyone took numerous steps back as they watched the burly man sway in a gentle breeze, then, with a slow but gradual tumble, fall and shatter onto the frosty dirt.
*BANG*
A collection of unwilling shards spewed out and onto the trembling floor as everyone witnessed frozen crystalline blood seep into the ground, displaying a smashed man who was alive just a second ago...
"W-what?!"
"Idiot."
Jin Ru disregarded the deadly coldness that seeped out of him as an array of sparkling icicles began to spit around him. It was as if a sovereign of ice had revealed himself in front of everyone!
"Get back!"
The villagers panicked as they watched the ground below them ice over and the air around them shiver and pulsate with a wafting blue. Some ran, and some froze with shock, then with coldness.
"Beast, Beast! Come out you fucking Ancient thing!"
Jin Ru brought down the hood on his robe as he roared, where a forehead shimmering with 4 circles revealed themselves. However, what was strange was that a faint outline of a fifth trailed around it!
"Holy one!"
A holy aura spewed out of him as a magnificent white submerged the whole village, making each villager tremble and pause whatever they were doing. They felt an undeniable and unquenchable instinct spew into their bloodline, invoking awe and worship.
"Come out! I don't want to come looking for you now!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
