Dual Sword God Box Set

by Shadows Finger

  Feng Yu hearing this was momentarily surprised, but he quickly recovered and willed for the list to appear before his eyes. Soon, a semi-transparent list appeared in his front showcasing a variety of War Commands each with a corresponding war points in regard to their difficulties.

  Typically, one would be happy upon seeing their War Command list. However, the current Feng Yu felt like he had left a dark prison and fallen into the bottomless pit of hell itself.

  War Command, A Phoenix’s Way!

  It was what could only be called a dreadful sight, collections of commands listed together in an orderly manner with rankings of a different scale. If one carefully skimmed through these listed commands, they would realize that most of them had a ranking of ‘B’ and above meaning, that each of the objectives associated to these duties was dangerous beyond the average level.

  Naturally, the corresponding war points related to these dangerous war commands are higher.

  A youth with red hair was currently hidden within some tall shrubberies carefully inspecting a semi-transparent list that was visible only to his eyes, as he browsed through the list his brows would furrow as a dark expression grew on his face.

  Feng Yu inspected the War Commands List before his eyes in a bad mood, as he frowned and complained in a helpless tone, “God-damnit! What kind of commands are these? Are they expecting me to be able to accomplish these tasks?!”

  He said as the frown on his face grew more noticeable, and expression only became worse. The War Commands are as listed:

  “War Commands List – Central Region”

  “Sabotage Command”

  “Sabotage Matuk’s Tribe Rituals - Rank B Command – War Points: 10000.”

  “Steal the Dark Palace’s Aqua Pearl - Rank +A Command – War Points: 250000.”

  “...”

  “Assassination Command”

  “Kill the Aqua Nymph Queen - Rank ++A Command – War Points: 500000.”

  “Kill the Orckusfiend Matuk - Rank ++B Command – War Points: 50000.”

  “...”

  “Hunting Command”

  “Hunt a Nymph Fiendkin - Rank +C Command – War Points: 2500.”

  “Hunt a Ghoulfiend - Rank C Command – War Points: 1000.”

  “...”

  Feng Yu looked at the list, again and again, hoping it would re-update, but soon, he eventually gave up and decided to accept what couldn’t be changed. He gripped his fists tightly as a firm look came on his face while he spoke, “It no longer matters whether it is impossible or utter suicide. Since I cannot escape this region, I will move forward even if I must walk through a sea of fire. The Phoenix doesn’t grow without experiencing the flames of rebirth!”

  He skimmed through the list and spoke once more, “Hmm, to Steal the Dark Palace’s Sapphire Orb, the Dark Palace? Where is this place supposed to be?”

  Upon saying this, the information before his face changed creating a map screen with its edges mostly covered in darkness and a title saying, ‘Map of the Endless Rain Zone.’ Towards the central section of this map was an endless sight of trees and mountains that stretched all the way into the darkness, a few faded outlines of constructs could be seen at random locations.

  There was an extensive outline of a palace placed on top of a massive mountain surrounded by other mountains at the very center of this map; this palace was highlighted in a bright blue color.

  Feng Yu who saw this couldn’t help but frown as he thought to himself, “So if this section here is this so-called Dark Palace. Where am I currently placed on this map? Where is the Gloomy Forest?”

  As he said this, the map information updated once more.

  If one carefully looked at the edges of this map, they would see a forest that occupied a small fraction of the area covered in darkness. A tiny patch of visible regions could be noticed as a small circle was surrounding them, looking closely at this forest's center one would see an even smaller red dot that flickered now and then.

  Looking at this red dot at the edge of this massive map, and the distant mountains and trees leading all the way to the glowing blue palace. Feng Yu shook his head and rejected the idea, “I can’t even tell if I will be able to safely leave this forest much less travel to steal a precious orb from a place at such a distance. Let’s see if there is a better option available to me.”

  He continued to skim through the listing soon coming across an unusual name, and spoke with a voice of puzzlement, “Matuk? Such a strange name, I wonder who this is... hmm, the Orckusfiend Matuk?”

  “What is an Orckusfiend?” Feng Yu asked as he willed to the interface before him, soon, the image of a familiar looking towering humanoid creature with a robust figure appeared before his eyes.

  He exclaimed in surprise, “Wait! Isn’t that the large fiend trying to catch me, he’s actually a type of Orckusfiend?”

  Feng Yu quickly looked over the details after willing to select the mission and was stunned. He said, “Well! The Chieftain of Matuk’s Tribe which is inside of the Gloomy Forest, that True Foundation realm bastard. Haha! Who would have thought? While I won’t be able to kill you, I don’t have to since there are plenty of ways to get revenge...”

  A fierce light shone in his eyes as he looked at the sabotage mission instead of the killing mission and willed, “I will accept the command - Sabotage the Matuk’s Tribe Rituals!”

  As Feng Yu said this, a voice quickly responded in mind, “Request granted! You now have 3 Days to accomplish this mission. If you fail this mission, then because you have no points you will lose all rights to participate in the Ancient Dragon Battlefield Wars. The War Command has been issued!”

  Upon finishing its words, a flash of light flickered briefly over Feng Yu’s body as he felt himself become restricted to a greater will. A genuinely uncomfortable feeling, however, he quickly recovered his state of being and looked towards the area in the forest where he had escaped from as he thought to himself, “Hmm, now that most of the forests fiendkin have been notified of my presence I will have to find a way to travel back to that camp I first saw when I came to this place. What method would be the best means?”

  Feng Yu thought to himself as he scratched his chin with his fingers, he then spread his soul force around the environment while carefully keeping himself hidden within the tall bushes. Soon, a few fluctuations of energies could be felt coming from the distance.

  Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!

  As if a storm was passing through, a group of black rays beamed their way through the bleak forest as they tore through the harsh downpour that fell upon the forest’s lands. These beams of black lights had trails of red amongst them which if one was capable of perceiving connected to two bright gleaming red eyes within each of these beams of lights.

  These creatures radiated a shocking aura as they swiftly swept pass Feng Yu’s area beaming there way further into the forest. Their spiritual senses swept about the area covering even including Feng Yu’s form, however, unnoticed by even Feng Yu himself, his figure remained hidden to all as an odd bright light flickered for a moment at the depths of his soul.

  Feng Yu seeing them pass by let out a sigh of relief as he thought to himself, “Whew! That was close! I was even prepared to tunnel through the earth to escape once more. How on earth did they not find me? No matter, this isn’t important right now I have to figure out how to get--”

  As he was thinking this, his words were soon interrupted by another change.

  Swoosh! Boom! A towering figure dropped from the sky as his feet pressed into a grassy field creating a massive crater, he then swiftly pressed them unto the ground once again and launched himself into air soaring towards the distance.

  The voice of the figure echoed throughout the region as it roared in anger, “Damn human! You better not let me find you again!”

  As Feng Yu saw the Orckusfiend Matuk vanished towards the depths of the forest, he couldn’t help but radiate a tinge of kil
ling intent as he thought to himself, “Ma-tuk!... I hope you’re ready, for when I am done with your tribe. You will rue the day you set out to catch this young master!”

  Feng Yu was so upset that he didn’t even notice he had spoken in third person a way usually expressed by his former or ‘their’ former bodies main ‘resident.’ He then picked himself up from the ground and began to swiftly but cautiously make his way towards the tribe’s location.

  Swoosh-swoosh! As his figure, danced through the trees and tall bushes, a few unusual events couldn’t be avoided.

  Swish! A thick and dark looking vine that had mouths all over it abruptly shot towards the figure of Feng Yu that was traveling through some bushes. The vine was quick as it moved like a pale green light that instantly surrounded Feng Yu’s body, as he sensed the danger his eyes weren’t capable of perceiving, he promptly acted by using his instinct.

  Like it was second nature, he moved one of his hands that had been continually holding the hilt of Black-lightning instantly drawing the sword from its sheath following up with a blindingly quick assault.

  Shing! ~ “Extremity Sword Path: Path of Speed – Thunder Flash Sword!” Feng Yu roared as his blazing, and slightly thunderous aura energy swept towards the thick vine that surrounded his body. His Half-Step Sword Intent pushed towards the max as it formed a sharp semi-transparent beam with his aura energies that soon quickly collided with the vine.

  BOOM! “Sreeee---!” Following a loud boom, the scream of an unusual creature could be heard within the forest as the vine was burnt and sliced to pieces. The remaining section of the vine had swiftly retreated to a dark part of the gloomy forest as the dense rain fell drowning the remainder of it wails.

  Feng Yu who had successfully cut away, the vine did not waste any time as he moved like a streak of red lightning quickly escaping the unknown dangerous plant's territory. Soon, he arrived at the destroyed narrow pathway.

  He looked at the scene in front of him with a frown on his face. He spoke, “Tsk! How troublesome? Now I will have to find a new way around, and I still haven’t found my way to sneak into the---”

  Feng Yu was about to complain some more, but soon, his expression changed. He looked at the hand of a corpse in the rubbles before him and spoke with a strange smile on his face, “Hahaha! There is also that way...”

  His eyes gleamed in an odd light, as the reflection of the dark skinny creature shone deep within them illuminating his dark mood...

  __

  Matuk’s Tribe, A Dangerous Mission!

  The Gloomy Forest was as bleak as ever, as the constant downpour carried with it a heaviness that weighted down on the souls of many of the forest’s inhabitants. Still, while many would be lost in the dull mood a few inhabitants displayed unusually excited and ferocious traits.

  It was a vast and loosely fortified tribal ground, with fences made of wood that resembled oak that enclosed an area spanning no more than 1000 meters. This wooden fence was crudely connected and plunged deeply into the ground; it was connected to a central entryway that had no obstacles with a tower positioned its center elevated a few meters from the ground.

  A bundle of sharpened versions of these oak-like woods was bounded together tightly with sturdy looking vines as their pointed tips aimed forwards. They were placed around this wooden enclosure as well as a few meters away from the entryway of the tribe.

  Within this tribal ground, was a group of crude buildings made of wood, grass, and stones. A few more ancient and unusually advance buildings could be seen at random locations inside of the tribe, but these buildings only remained as a remnant of their former prestige.

  Tum! Tum! Tum-Tum-Tu-Tum! ~

  In a wild and archaic style of beat, a group of dark skinny creatures gathered together in the form of a ceremony. They were wearing crudely crafted armor made from the dead wood and grasses collected from the surrounding environment while dancing in a tribe-like manner.

  As if they were in-tuned with the beat both of their legs would tap the floor four times before they pointed their claw-like palms towards a large central pillar at the direct center of this tribe.

  Upon stretching their palms outwards, they would shout in unison saying, “Ou!” Their voices echoed throughout the area. There was a strand of dark energy leaving the inhabitants’ claw-like palms and shooting towards the central pillar.

  This pillar was strange, it was coated in a white tone with its structure made from an unknown source material. An arrangement of complex runic patterns was laid out across its plain white surface each of which would usually be dull was now glowing in a myriad of colors.

  As the strands of dark energies entered the pillar, the glowing runes on its surface only grew brighter and brighter with each passing moment. Soon, the energies gathered within the pillar reached a point of saturation causing it to send ripples of energies in throughout the sky.

  Phew! Quickly, a beam of light shot towards the sky soon after returning to the pillar which then formed a new runic design on its surface. If one observed the pillar once again, they would see that approximately 97% of the pillar was covered with these markings.

  Suddenly, the beating of the drums had come to abrupt end. The dancing creatures became silent as a taller and a well-armored elderly looking creature surrounded by a few others walked towards the pillar of the ritual.

  The elderly creature then inspected the pillar for a moment before shifting its gaze towards the congregated tribesmen and spoke, “Fellow Tribesmen! In roughly three days the Ascension Pillar will be ready, and our Chieftain will finally be able to ascend to new heights to become a High Tier Leader under the wing of our great Zone Commander! If this happens, we will be able to join the direct army and go to battle against the humans on the frontlines earning us points to buy our freedoms!”

  “Ouuu! For the glory of the Chieftain!” The group of creatures shouted in unison as they stomped the ground causing the area to shake.

  The elderly creature seeing their responses was pleased as it waved its hand causing the creatures to return to silence once again, it then continued to speak, “Good! Therefore, we must do everything within our power to complete the ritual. The hunting squad will patrol the outer regions of the tribe and prevent any other tribes and camps to find out our details, while tomorrow we will commence with the ritual once more at dawn!”

  As it finished its statement, waved its hand and shouted, “All Ghoulfiends are dismissed!”

  Hearing his words, each of the Ghoulfiends quickly left the ritual area and returned to their posts. A few more powerful looking Ghoulfiends with red markings over their bodies remained at guard around the pillar along with the elderly looking Ghoulfiend who looked at them and spoke, “You elites must remain vigilant at all times, I want the Ascension Pillar to be protected from any forms of danger!”

  As the elderly Ghoulfiend said this, he then walked away towards the central hut-like building of the tribe. The surrounding powerful looking Ghoulfiends then promptly responded with a firm tone, “Yes Sir!”

  Soon, the atmosphere within the tribe returned to one of solemnness as former liveliness had all but disappeared. Within one of the ancient buildings that did not stand out in any way, was a peculiar Ghoulfiend. It had all the necessary features of features of Ghoulfiends with only its hair carrying a shade of red, but this hair was mostly covered by a rusty helmet that hid its face from the world.

  As it noticed movements of the elderly Ghoulfiend and strong looking Ghoulfiends before its eyes, the strange Ghoulfiend couldn’t help but think to itself, “Hmm, so that pillar is the command’s main objective. I would have to find a way to either destroy or disrupt that pillars activities to successfully sabotage this tribe. However, those are Elite Class Ghoulfiends along with that Elder Ghoulfiend. While they are worth a lot of points respectively, I will not be able to handle them or easily accomplish this mission with them being on guard.”

  Feng Yu looked at the extre
mely vigilant Elite Ghoulfiends and strictness of Matuk’s Tribal members with a frown on his face as he pondered. Soon though, there was a disturbance.

  “Hey! You over there! What are you doing? Get over here immediately! It is time to patrol the regions outside of the camp!” A powerful voice said.

  Hearing this command, Feng Yu quickly reacted by moving towards the group with his head held down. The Elite Ghoulfiend who was the leader of the hunting squad frowned as he saw this, he shouted towards Feng Yu, “What! Is this how you reply to higher command? What is your name brat?!”

  Feng Yu hearing this smirked underneath his helmet as he replied with gestures signifying that he couldn’t speak. He waved his hand making hand signs soon after pointing towards his throat that had a large slit mark scar on its surface.

  The Elite Ghoulfiend seeing this frowned as he said with disgust, “Damn! Why did my group had to have another piece of injured trash?! Sigh...”

  The companion Ghoulfiends looked towards Feng Yu with mock in their eyes as they jeered.

  “Keke! What’s wrong with you? Did Catlin steal your throat?”

  “Kekeke! That's most likely the case as I can't even feel his fiend auras, he’s probably more suitable of being cannon fodder!”

  The Elite Ghoulfiend soon quickly recovered from his foul mood and no longer gave any attention to the members of the group. As if they weren’t worth his sight, he continued to march towards outskirts of the tribe and commanded, “Let’s not waste any more precious time! Hunting squad move out!”

  The jeering Ghoulfiends upon hearing his voice quickly reacted by marching forwards and responding in unison, “Yes Squad Leader!”

  Feng Yu who saw this scene smiled with a sharp light at the depths of his now oddly red-like eyes. He followed the group at a steady pace soon after vanishing with its members in the depths of forests.

  Boom! There was a loud explosion that shook everything within the range of 100 miles, a peerlessly beautiful figure with long white hair was blown across the sky turning into a beam of light that fell into distant dense forest bushes. Her figure continued to roll stacking up wounds all over her body. Soon, she crashed into a rocky wall leaving a deep impression within it.
