Life Drain System

Chapter 103 - A Morning To Remember

    'Hmm, I need to go ... to ... sleep? Goodnight' Yueliang thinks to himself as he falls asleep.

---- A Few Hours Later, About 10 Am ----

    'Mmmnn, why does my head hurt?' Yue thinks to himself, as he wakes. Sitting up slowly, and opening his eyes, he looks around, only seeing cave walls, and the bodies of all his subordinates scattered around him. 'So it was not a dream, but a great party, ended by sleepiness and kidnapping?' Yue processes the situation before him.

    Getting up, he tries standing feeling a little weak, but continues forward. Standing before one of his people he kneels down to wake her, whispering. "Blake, please wake up."

    "..."

    Having received no response, he turns to his left, seeing another, he shakes her whilst whispering. "Victoria, would you place wake up? We need to go, now is our chance." Hoping such words would rouse her, he awaits her awakening. 

    'Seriously, why am I the only one awake, how could no one else .... You have to be joking, are you telling me not one of them cultivates? I am sure some of them used magic, unless the lower your cultivation, the lower your resistance. However if that is the case, what could have taken us?' Yue wonders, while checking other bodies. 

---- 30 Minutes Later ----

    A voice resounds behind Yueliang. "Anything?"

    Quickly responding, Yue says. "No, it seems only Shen Hu, Huoli, and you Xue Meiren, have high enough cultivation to awaken at this time. I guess this will be an order for me to give the rest when they awaken, before I ... ahem, before we leave this planet."

    Meiren hearing steps says. "And here come the other two, it seems they were unsuccessful as well. You know this is extremely bad right?"

    Hearing this, Yue asks. "How bad, and why?"

    Meiren shakes her head replying. "You remember they saying that there is always something stronger? Well, here on this planet, while as you know, humans can be the apex, there is a different group. You see, this is a taboo topic, but it seems necessary now. Long ago, many centuries back, there was a group that appeared from another planet. They were strong cultivators, however there was something different about them."

    Just as Meiren is about to continue Shen Hu interrupts. "Yes, this group was a strong group of cultivators, but they were cast out from their world."

    "Cast out?" Yue asks.

    Shen Hu continues. "Yes, you see, they do not cultivate properly. I am sure your master, told you about this, but Yin cultivators, while faster, and stronger in the beginning, they can never last. They will always lose out to Yang cultivators. Now back to the point, from the way they swept in and took us, it seems Meiren is right...."

    "...These people cultivate one of many Yin techniques, but this one is especially terrible. As those who practice such arts, become deformed, yet obtaining great skill in, well, let's just say hunting tactics. While this does not sound like a problem, they become cannibalistic, with an insatiable hunger." Shen Hu sighs, before continuing. "It seems a few must have escaped the eradication of their clan long ago."

    Hearing this Yue asks. "If someone killed them before, we could just use the same tactics now right? I mean we are Yang cultivators after all."

    Shen Hu just lays in wait, as Huoli continues for him. "It is not that simple. It looks every divine tiger, and other divine creatures on the planet to pull our power together to wipe them out. Also, that was centuries ago, since one escaped it will be much stronger by now, as well as having many beneath it to revive its clans practices."

    Yue comments. "I see, then I guess there is only one option."

    Closing his eyes, Shen Hu adds. "You are right, but the cost is too high as you are not strong enough yet. However if you only took a few it should be fine."

    Listening to his comment, Huoli, and Xue Meiren knowing it to be true, just nod and close their eyes. However Yue on the other hand exclaims quietly. "No! I will not leave them. Although I likely will get sick, or possibly even die, I am certain that I can save them."

    Swiftly Meiren interrupts and says. "Just stop. There is no other way, you see even if you saved them, if you die in the process, they would likely try to avenge you even if it meant their death. However even if that is not the case, they now know where we live, and that means they will just come again. Also, while they can find food easily, and have insatiable hunger, they are smart enough to store food for a while, why do you think the population has not been wiped out yet."

    Curious Yue asks. "What does storing their food have to do with it? It is not like we could come back to save them." Without giving them a chance to reply, he quickly continues. "Whatever it does not matter, we are leaving now. Yang."

    "..."

  "Stop messing around Yang, I know if I am awake, you certainly are as well." Yue says feeling slightly annoyed.

    "Fine, however I agree with the beasts." Yang answers, before continuing. "It will cost the remainder of your shop credits, as well as one more problem. Since you do not have enough it will cost 2,000 years, which considering all the naming you did earlier, will send you into a coma. This will mean unless we send your people on missions, you will die, and to repeat myself. I cannot save you this time, or send them, thus you WILL DIE!!!"

    "Then let me die, and just do it!" Yue says stubbornly, and the moment the beasts heard him, they leapt forward as if to stop him, even while knowing they could not. Regardless, before they could reach him, all the bodies on the ground, as well as Shen Hu, Xue Meiren, and Huoli, were teleported with Yue.

    A few moments later, everyone arriving in the core of the ship, Yue had them make, they all reappear. Upon arriving there, Yues' vision fades, his bodies energy all disappears, the light in his eyes fading, and his body falling to the ground in slow motion before the three beasts. 

    Seeing his body fall before them, and laying lifelessly. Seeing this, Meiren as the first to act, rushes up exclaiming with tears falling down her fur from her eyes. "NO! You cannot be dead!" Reaching his body, she listens for a heart beat and breath. *Thump ... *Thump. Hearing this, and the faintest of breaths she exclaims, still with tears running down her face with a relieved smile. "He is alive, just barely, but he is!"

    Her words deeply hitting the two others, they feel deeply relieved, but before anything else Shen Hu starts giving orders. "Xue Meiren, find a room, and make his body comfortable. I am sure these High orcs will have something. Huoli you work on waking Rei, I will work on Yin. Whoever finishes first works on Blake next."

    Having their orders, the three all go their separate directions. Meiren carrying Yueliang with her chi, while she explores. The other two rushing to find the bodies, to get to work.

    Whilst Meiren searches for a place to make him comfortable and watch over him, Shen Hu finds Yin, seeing his cultivation flowing, Shen Hu sighs in relief thinking. 'Good thing our king gave him cultivation manuals to fix his body, and bring him back. Otherwise this would take a lot more work. I hope you are happy and grateful Yin, you will grow because of this.'

    Breathing in and absorbing the chi in the air like normal, Shen Hu guides a concentrated flow of it into Yins' body following the flow that Yins' chi is going along, lest he give Yin chi deviation. Not wanting to kill Yin, Shen Hu has to be extremely careful, and at the same time spread it slowly from the original path through his body to make his body as a whole much much stronger, and healthier.

    Doing this extremely stressful and difficult job that requires extreme focus, Shen Hu whispers under his breath. "I apologize in advance, just in case."

    On the other side of the massive gathering area of the ship, Huoli, is working on Rei, doing the same procedure. Although, since Rei is living and not undead, it is slightly less difficult, but only by a hairs breadth. 

    Meanwhile Meiren has found a place, and is currently by the bedside watching his body, not even daring to cover his body with a sheet lest she make his condition worse, or missing a sign of his body worsening. She focus' on his body as if her life depends on it, as she feels like she will have lost the only person she has left if he dies. And Meiren feels that she cannot go through such torture again.

---- At The Sametime Elsewhere ----

    "*Howl. Where are they? Find our food!" An albino figure looking exactly like a wendigo shouts to another wendigo.

    In the next split second the wendigos disappear from where they were standing just moments ago.
