The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 520 - Zir

Tiresh Abhold looked at Jin Rou like he was a monster with her mouth open wide. She knew that the latter was mysterious and powerful. But nevertheless, she didn't expect him to be this strong! Just imagine, that bull's level, who killed so many emperors in the past, was helpless in front of him. How powerful was he? If she was thinking about despair a while ago, she found a little hope to lean on.

"That was very weak." Jin Rou said all of a sudden, "I'm directly challenging this place to hone my dao, yet they dispatched a monster of that mere level."

It wasn't that Jin Rou was getting impatient and overly underestimating the Uncrossable Sea. It's just that he wanted to let those hiding in the shadows hear this to provoke them. Who knows, they might come at him?

However, it was proven not effective. After all, the hiding creatures remained hiding and didn't dare to go out.

"Scaredy cats." Jin Rou sneered as he learned they weren't coming down. Anyway, he would face them later on so there was no need to rush. So the two continued walking down the sea.

Fifteen hours had passed and the darkness didn't come their way or anything, albeit they felt like someone was watching them. It was a peaceful day for Jin Rou anyway, so he wasn't bothered by the eyes watching them. But it was different for Tiresh Abhold, her guard remained up as she observed her surroundings. If even a slight abnormality occurred, she would be battle ready.

Jin Rou looked at Tiresh Abhold and couldn't help but sigh, "Don't you think you are too tensed up there? Can you please relax a bit?"

There was never a moment that Tiresh Abhold relaxed so it was stressing him out. He already showed a bit of his capabilities, yet she wasn't still feeling secured?

Tiresh Abhold jumped in fright from being talked to. She almost swung her sword as a reflex.

Seeing this, Jin Rou sighed once again. This lady was too serious about matters that he felt like her childhood was all about wars and battles. If that was the case, it was understandable why she was like this. Anyway, Jin Rou didn't dislike this trait of hers. At least, she wasn't someone Jin Rou need to carry all around their journey.

"You are safe with me, so relax." Jin Rou tried to assure the knight, "With me around, who would dare to hurt you? You aren't going suicidal by coming with me, so ease up some of your nerves. It will stress your body out and you might collapse."

Tiresh Abhold knew that she showed her guard overly and took a deep breath. Indeed, this would take a toll on her body if it kept going on so she needed to relax.

However, just she was about to relax some of her nerves, she suddenly felt a chill running down her spine with a familiar voice ringing her ears, "No, Tiresh. You are safe if you come with me."

Hearing those familiar voice and words, her body shuddered and looked up where the voice came from. It was a man with long black hair, and his features were very similar to Tiresh Abhold's. It was like that man was the male version and more mature version of Tiresh.

Jin Rou looked at the man also and could deduce his identity without much difficulty.

Tiresh Abhold tried to say something, but the words were stuck in her throat for some reason.

"How are you, my dear little sister?" The man who popped up suddenly smiled and asked, "It's been a while since the last time we have met. I missed you."

Still, Tiresh Abhold was speechless. This big brother of hers should have died already in the sea, yet why did he appear right now?

"Don't be a fool." Jin Rou warned Tiresh Abhold, "He is no longer your brother. He is someone who has been eaten up by the darkness."

The man looked at Jin Rou and examined him properly. He smiled and asked, "I remember that my sister has never taken a liking to any man, who are you perhaps?"

He paused for a moment and added, "And oh by the way, I am still Tiresh's big brother. Something has just changed but it's still me."

"You aren't qualified to know me." Jin Rou answered the question without hesitation, "You have no right, who is someone accepted the darkness as their power boost, to know who am I."

The man was named Zir. He sighed and said, "It seems like a talk will not be possible with you, you have a very bad impression of the darkness, it seems."

"The darkness itself is already bad enough for me to eradicate your existences." Jin Rou shot up a cold glare at Zir, "What's more for a previous human, but chose this path?"

"Darkness has a very important role in the balance. Even if you have the power to eradicate the darkness, do you think it will bear good results? The balance will be broken, and just that you will know that it will not be good for the world." Zir spoke and tried to push his argument, "Thus, if darkness plays an active and major role in the environment to maintain balance, why are you hating it so much?"

"Because you all are bunch of unreasonable beings." Jin Rou agreed that the darkness had a major role in maintaining the balance of the world. However, their methods were gruesome and merciless that he couldn't accept it. Jin Rou wasn't a righteous person and wouldn't dare to call himself a saint. But he would never sacrifice innocents to benefit himself.

In the first place, Jin Rou had always have a very a bad impression against the darkness, and it would probably remain the same as usual. So it wouldn't be unnatural if Jin Rou turned this sea upside down to find and slay the darkness.

Being called unreasonable beings, Zir felt like he was irritated for the first time in his life.
