War of the Gods and Demons: Chapter 30

…

While seated inside the cave, Xin Ja concentrated as he continuously absorbed a large amount of chaotic and pure Ki inside his body and to his dantian. He could now sense the slightly forming sphere which made him feel a bit elated.

As usual, whenever he would go to another realm, he would need to absorb more Ki than he regularly would have. But for some reason, going to the Ki-Grandmaster realm is a bit different. He could sense that he would need to absorb at least ten times more Ki when he reached the Ki-Champion realm just to advance.

In advancing to the Ki-Champion realm, he absorbed many Ki from dead demons at that time. But that is a rare occurrence.

If he just hunted more demons, then he would need more than a thousand of them, just to break through to the Ki-Grandmaster realm. And that would take some time in this situation.

As he continuously absorb Ki, he could not feel a pang of pain deep within his body as the spirit meridian of his body are being tempered and strengthened by the Ki going through it.

Even his physique is being strengthened by them, and this made him grit his teeth through the pain.

Soon, he could feel that something is changing within his body. These changes seem molecular in aspect.

He is not surprised at this time because he knew that this is the process of advancing through the Ki-Grandmaster realm which is next to reaching the Shen realm.

While he concentrated on his advancement, unknown to him, atop the cave he is currently in, dark clouds are forming in the sky.

It was as if a rare treasure is about to appear in this world.

And such a phenomenon has already attracted the attention of both humans and demons.

Nedona who was following the trails of the humans who now has a new weapon that could easily eliminate the demons has arrived near a certain town.

While secretly investigating, she suddenly looks up and noticed the dark cloud forming from afar.

"A heavenly treasure is about to appear? This is… weird. No heavenly treasure should have appeared on this side of this planet…" she thought as she walked out of the town under the cover of the night.

After walking for a distance, a few of her draconian subordinates appear beside her.

"This town did not have what we are looking for…" she said with a frown.

"Then should we destroy it?" asked one of the draconian soldiers.

"No… This town might not have what we were looking for, but there is something strange in it… If we recklessly made our move, then we might fail our task." She said in a serious tone.

"We should go and check things out in that direction…" she said while pointing in the direction of the thick clouds forming in the skies.

While the demons flew high up in the sky, atop a 2-floored house sits a young woman with fiery red hair.

She is calmly looking at the horizon while eating a piece of cake on her plate.

"Tsk… I thought that little demon would have made her move…" she muttered with a smirk.

"We should have trapped them here, master."

"Then what? Let the town suffer because of our desire to fight?" she said with a reprimanding tone.

"Hehe… You are an A-rank awakened, how could they stand a chance against you, master?" the young woman sitting at the opposite side of the table said with a grin.

"You little…" she wanted to scold the young woman but just shakes her head.

She heaved a sigh and then looks in a certain direction in the town.

"I can't leave this place yet… Everyone here is dear to me."

The young woman did not say anymore and just nodded her head.

When her master awakened as an A-rank Shen, she saw how strong and powerful she was. She easily smack down the demons at that time and tore them apart like they were nothing.

However, she also could feel that her master would feel weak after an hour of battling.

She then learned that the power of an A-rank has limitations. Though they are strong, they have their own weaknesses too.

As she trained under her master for a year now, she learned a lot of spells that would make those C-rank and below envious.

Though she is only an E-rank awakened, she is able to conjure spells that would rival that of a D-rank awakened.

And this is the result of her training from her master.

"Master, I heard of the new weapon of the army. I even obtain one… Do you want to see it?" she suddenly remembers something and quickly raised her hand.

A subordinate walks inside the room they were in and presented something to the two women.

The long and slender-looking thing caught the eyes of the A-rank Shen.

She lifted her hand and touches the object.

"What fine craftsmanship…" she muttered.

Then she uses her spiritual sense and domain to check the object.

Not long later, she showed a shocked expression and then elation.

"If we can also create such a thing, then our town would be able to withstand any demon assault…" she suddenly said with a smile.

Her disciple sitting at the opposite side nodded her head in agreement.

This female Shen is Aria Gelan. She was once a regular citizen of Seal Town and has lived with her mother and sister till now.

One day, she was picking some fruits in the forest when a few men suddenly appeared. She was baffled by their presence because she is known as an ugly woman because of a large scar on her face and a partially burnt body due to an accident while she was young.

But then she realizes that these men are not regular men but demons.

Suddenly, for some reason, she felt something throbbing inside of her. And at that time, she has awoken as a Shen.

A young woman witnessed this and from that time forth, she became the protector of the town and the young woman became her disciple.

The two then left the second floor and enters a building with forge billowing and the sound of hammers clinking everywhere.

"Ah… Miss Gelan, welcome! Welcome!" a burly man wearing an apron greeted the two with a bow.

"Master Guan… Can you see if you can replicate this thing…" she said while showing the CAW to the blacksmith.

When Master Guan saw the CAW, he showed a delighted expression on his face.

"Hmm… This kind of crafting technique is impossible with our current style. But looking at the design of this weapon, I think this is the new weapon of the army, right?" he said with a delighted and curious smile on his face while scrutinizing the CAW.

"Yes…"

"Hmm… I don't know, but if I know the schematics on how this thing works, then maybe I can create something different." He said with a confident smile.

Aria Gelan thought for a while then walked towards a table.

She grabbed a piece of large parchment and then the pencil on the side. Then she began to draw according to what she understood after scanning the CAW.

Soon, the basic function of the CAW appears on the paper. At first master blacksmith, Guan showed confusion in his eyes, but soon after looking at the blueprint, he showed elation.

"Ahhh… So that's how it works… It would be a bit hard to accomplish, but… I think I can make a similar thing…" he said confidently.

With a nod of her head, Aria Gelan and her disciple Lena Arc walked out of the blacksmith shop with a satisfied smile.

With the demons on a rampage, they now have a way to protect their town. Once this happens, then the two of them will now have a chance to go outside and roam the world.

While walking, Aria looks at the forming dark cloud with a frown.

"Should I investigate that thing…" she muttered.

As an awakened Shen, she already regained a part of her memory from the other side of the planet. She wanted to know what happened to her family back then.

The reason for this is that, when she was promoted to Shen, her ascension arrived almost immediately. She did not hesitate to ascend, and that was the last thing she could remember.

She could recall bits and pieces of her memory on this side, but that was it.

She also knew that she has been living different lives for over five centuries now. But she knew that within those five centuries, her kin on the other side would still be fine.

She belongs to a merchant family surnamed Xun, in the prosperous city of Hai which belongs to the small kingdom of Xun under the Empire of Guan.

When she became a Shen due to her proficiency in runes and arrays, she was celebrated as the youngest Shen in the history of the empire.

Known as one of the tacticians of the empire, she gained her merit through her accomplishments in array formations and battle trap arrays.

Before her ascension, she created a formidable barrier that would protect the empire for a very long time.
