บท 42: First Form!
"The records did say that these races were mad..."
The figure materialised in the air as a simple tattooed man shone into view. His skin was dark with a dense accumulation of tattoos that wreathed with vigorous depictions of celestial beasts that seemed holy and majestic.
"H-holy one!"
Though, just as appeared before the village, a simultaneous exclamation rang out as everyone kneeled down face first. Their expressions shone with fervour, fear and awe...
"Mhm. Stand."
The man nodded a tad as he motioned for them to stand up. He gazed at each of them, where the faint suppression of his four circles made the villagers lower their heads.
"Did you speak to that man over there?"
Pausing a bit, the man spoke with a soft voice as he pointed toward the uncaring figure who continued to pummel the ground with logs upon logs.
The group of villages tensed a bit as they heard the question, then with a nudge, a boy popped out with shaky legs. He was the same boy Su Min talked to, though his eyes were riddled with fear.
"I-I talked to him."
The boy stuttered out a sentence as he kicked the ground out of nervousness, twiddling his thumbs and gazing at his feet. The man, showing interest, asked once more.
"What'd he ask?"
The boy paused, then with a gulp, spoke some quite strange words.
"He asked where he was, and about a race known as 'Humanity'... Nothing more, holy one."
The man's eyes seemed to glimmer with a mysterious nature as his face broke into a smile; it was as if he was confirming some suspicions.
"You did well facing that man, now, I'll try doing so."
Patting the kids head, the man grinned as he stared at the run-down forest in the distance. The boy's face became frightened at the sudden action, though he didn't dare move.
"Now, please my children, shelter yourselves."
Speaking, a light wind fluttered around the man as his existence hazed with a frizzly blur, and, in the time it took to blink, he had disappeared. Everyone felt their legs weaken out of pure stress, but the kid was different. He gazed, with intent, at the forest a kilometre away!
...
...
"Hm... This should do."
Standing atop a piece of rubble, Su Min nodded as he stared at a simple wooden house in front of him. It was made out logs, large logs in fact, and exuded a faint gold from the dissipating strands that manoeuvred them.
It was simple, but it was enough for Su Min to get some shut-eye. Too much has happened, and he needs some rest... He needs to sleep away the worries he has back at home, all of them, commingling onto his emotionless self.
*Wooosh*
However, just as he was about to step in, a faint wind sprung beside him. His face glistened with the same expression, but his body reacted differently...
*BANG*
Like he was swatting a fly, his still hand seethed as he slapped at the empty air with an intense boom. The sky trembled and the logs beside and under him shattered into dust, all from a simple thrust...
"Good!"
A man, revealing himself in the wind, roared as he stood before Su Min in the newly formed crater. Su Min frowned as he stared at the house he had just built, one which was now nothing but sawdust.
"My house..."
Su Min frowned, then looked at the man who had disrupted his sleep. It annoyed him, so he with a raspy rumble spoke at the grinning man. He needed to teach this annoying bastard a lesson!
"You're the reinforcements those two spoke of?"
The man's smile widened and spoke with an ignited excitement.
"Yep! Now, you who came from the ancient realm, would you like to duel? Don't worry, our race originates from a real heaven's race, so I assure you that you may be surprised!"
Su Min's eyes shined as he heard the comment.
'Originates from one of the heaven's races? So that's why I felt such disgust! Although it's so faint...'
Feeling enlightened, Su Min felt obliged to follow the commandment of his race. He is THE Ancient Race. The true, one and only, Ancient Race! Above all, the pride of the entire Ancient Realm!
"Heh? You originate from a heaven's race? Guess I have to clean this filthy realm up, as it is my mission, you see."
Su Min, lifting with a terrifying smile, laughed as he glared right back at the man. It was a glare of gold, and it made the mans bloodline shiver out of pure eeriness and unscrupulous warning. It was as if it was trying to make him stop; like he was about to rouse a beast he should never rouse!
"Alright! Then achieve such a mission! Ancient Scum!"
The man's eyes glimmered as he, with a sudden tremble, disappeared without a trace. Su Min's eyes remained unchanged as he stood there, though, his eyes gleamed a mystical light that shrouded the world.
"Petty tricks!"
Thrashing the air behind him, Su Min grasped a shocked silhouette that was aiming at his neck. Not taking heed, and with a grasp of pure iron, Su Min walloped the man right onto the ground!
*WOOOOSH*
Though, just as he was halfway there, Su Min felt his grasp clench at air as the man somehow escaped his grip. He turned with a frown and looked at the man who was appearing a couple meters away from him.
"Impressive!"
The man's eyes thrummed with a passion as he laughed, though through this his eyes gained a certain seriousness.
"Then I'll show you a spell made to kill beings like you!"
Mocking Su Min, the man, with a sudden press, grasped the air with a firm palm. A strange shiver permeated throughout the realm as Su Min felt his blood that had remained unchanged until now quiver.
"Heaven's Declaration!"
A majestic voice, echoing outwards and into all beings, erupted out of the man as his palm got enveloped in a dense milky light that came from his body. Though, Su Min's eyes turned as he stared at the light.
The man wasn't commanding the energy in the world, no, he was using the energy in his body. It was different compared to Su Min, who had some control over the world's ancient energy.
"Heavens energy?"
Just as he was pondering, the whole sky shimmered as a blinding beam of light ripped like a clawing beast and descended with a feeling of absolute suppression.
"Death!"
The man's voice became hoarse as he pointed at Su Min, where that beam of light, with a faint roar, flashed and shot right towards Su Min! Nevertheless, Su Min didn't seem fazed as he watched it fall.
"This law... Is too weak!"
Su Min's eyes glistened as he spoke towards the incoming beam that wanted to vaporise his existence. A strange hum erupted out of his chest as all the ancient energy within a 5-meter radius responded to his will.
*MMMMMMMMM*
A faint rumble shook the ground as the beam nosedived with a peaking blast, leaping right onto Su Min. Su Min, in turn, with a muffled breath, spoke.
"Fist arts. First Form."
He didn't move nor did absorb any energy, no, he commanded the ancient energy around him to move for him! An aura that seemed to surpass anything in the world erupted out of Su Min as the man's expression changed.
"?!"
Before he could even react, a blitzing aura seemed to erupt out of space as a golden glow shrouded the clouds, the heavens, and the earth. It made the villagers, the man, and any other being with a couple kilometres shudder with an intense trepidation that flooded their bloodline.
"Might of the Ancient!"
His roar, echoing out like a mighty law, sundered the clouds and thrashed them out! With this, a desolate and strange wind emerged and covered the sky and everything in it for hundreds of meters...
The falling beam, as if it had met its nemesis, shrieked with an intense hatred.
*BANG*
However, before it could even retaliate, the golden laced wind that shrouded the world snapped and thrashed! A faltering illusion of a golden being enveloped the sky as, with a single palm, it pushed down on the entirety of the landscape!
*POP POP POP POP BANG!!*
The man's eyes became dismayed as he stared at the golden figure in his sky. His legs weakened and his heart rate boomed in his head like thunder. That figure, why was it so scary..?
"What is that..?"
Not caring the least, Su Min's solemn eyes flickered as that massive palm annihilated the beam as if it were a speck of light and crushed it to oblivion. Though, Su Min's face became a pale ashen as the figure in the sky shuddered and became unstable.
Subsequently, the figure seemed to be unable to support itself as the all-encompassing palm disappeared out of everyone's view. If it were to carry on... Most felt that they would've been crushed.
"What are you..?!"
The man stammered out as he calmed his pounding heart and bloodline, gaining some form of sanity. He couldn't understand it, but that move made him feel as if he were a beggar fighting his countries enemy king. It was indescribable, but the fear it induced was enough to make him lose it.
Su Min's face was pale as he wiped his brow that was wet with sweat. He, glancing at the shaky man, spoke.
"Someone lost in this world..."
Currently, Su Min felt his mind seething with dauntless pain and fatigue. It seemed that controlling that figure strained him way too much...
'Mhm, I need to finish this fight quickly... Let's hope this guy loses it.'
