Jumping on the Ship [C165]

In front of the dumbfounded expression that Yubei Kelos had while staring at her, Aura Azusa's face reddened, 'I didn't do it on purpose… it was an accident, I swear!'

If the Longevity Realm experts who had been previously hit had known her thoughts, they would spew blood until they'd collapse.

Meanwhile, both Melkial's and Ifera Runa's eyelids were twitching continuously. The Winged Freaks, who was a group with a similar strength to them, actually proposed a 12 years old child to be their leader!

Ifera Runa sighed, 'Why do I feel that… he will complete that test easily?' She shook her head, believing that the more she thought about what was possible or not, the more she would grow insane once Shu Himo succeeded on it… so, she may as well just hold the impossible possible!

Snapping out of his stupor, Yubei Kelos looked at Phylia and said, "What about her?" Clearly, he did not have anymore a complaint about inviting Aura Azusa.

"Eh?" As if he said something weird, he suddenly felt the awkward gazes of every Longevity Realm expert.

"Did I say something weird?" He was baffled, what kind of reaction was that?

Mustering courage, a Longevity Realm expert explained, "Actually… she together with Shu Himo destroyed over 500 Met-3 in a couple minutes by themselves…"

"Wha-? Over 500 Met-3?! And in just a couple minutes?!" He quickly turned around to stare at the two, unable to believe his ears.

Feeling his gaze, Shu Himo felt wronged, "It's indeed awful... if it wasn't for those annoying Met-2 bothering us all the time we may have killed over a thousand… don't you think it's unfair?"

'Unfair your head!'— The same thought passed in the mind of everyone— 'Normally, a Nascent Soul expert is about the same strength as a Met-3… so what is that expression as if you're annoyed about having killed just 500 of them?!'

Unable to believe it, Yubei Kelos scanned the expression of the others, and seeing them he knew that he was not lying. Feeling stifled within, he forced himself to say, "Okay… you are both allowed to come… but don't make me regret such decision!"

Neither Faithe Malkia or Hynvers Azharde said anything to refute his decision, showing to have the same thought.

Shu Himo nodded happily to their decision, and pointed at the two, "She is Aura Azusa, while she is Phylia."

As both Aura Azusa and Phylia did not refuse the invite, saying that they would follow Shu Himo, the six then began walking toward the flying ship, when Shu Himo suddenly turned around, and said in a loud voice, "Everyone, stop the war for a bit, later tonight we will make a banquet in the Shu Kingdom all together! Wait for me in the capital!"

Without waiting for the answer of anyone, he then began walking again with an excited smile on his face, he could not wait to go on the flying ship.

Ifera Runa and Melkial were speechless, a banquet? With both demons and angels?

They looked at each other… for the first time in their life, they were left without the strength to argue with each other… it appeared that being close to Shu Himo depleted completely their willpower.

Shaking their head, they vanished from their spot, going away without even saying another word.

Both the Longevity Realm experts and the remaining Met-2 and Met-3 stood still… being completely baffled. What were they supposed to do now?

Ifera Runa and Melkial left without giving any commands, so no one knew if they were supposed to restart fighting or not.

Not having another choice, the Longevity Realm experts shrugged their shoulders and began to walk toward the capital of the Shu Kingdom. Surprisingly, even the Met-3 and Met-2, unable to analyze how they should act, simply followed the Longevity Realm experts as if they weren't fighting until a couple minutes before.

Standing below the flying ship, Shu Himo frowned. The ship was at a height of a kilometer… how was he supposed to reach it? Were he to use a stacked [Hopper_x5] he may be able to reach the ship… but would it be worth it if he would end up hurting himself?

"What's the problem? You can't go up there? If that's the case there is no problem, I can help you." Yobei Kelos smiled, 'It seems like he is really scared of heights... '

Shu Himo frowned, 'Is he treating me like a kid?'

He stared the flying ship, when he suddenly smiled, "Oh, right, why didn't I think of that before?" He then took out an Essence Qi Clock, examining the flow of the Essence qi.

"Huh?" Widening his eyes in shock, Yobei Kelos saw that Shu Himo took ten formation rods and stabbed them in the ground. What was he going to do with a formation?

Looking at Phylia, Shu Himo smiled, "Come here and hold onto me." Turning back to look the others, he continued, "Everyone else, stand back!"

'Stand back?' Puzzled, the other four saw Shu Himo snapping his fingers, activating the formation.

The air appeared to be absorbed by the formation, and the group collapsed on itself, as if everything was being absorbed inside of the formation.

At that moment, Shu Himo used a stacked [Hopper_x2], jumping on top of the formation, while Phylia was on his back.

*BOOM!*

As if collapsing on itself, the formation exploded, releasing all the energy it absorbed earlier. A red pillar shot up to the sky, threatening to destroy anything on its path. It was an exploding cannon formation!

When they were worried about what happened to Shu Himo and Phylia, they noticed the two surfing on top of the blast. Standing up on an indestructible violin, they abused the force of propulsion of the blast to fly up to the ship.

They were speechless... for somebody to cause an explosion just to propel himself onto a ship.. was there something wrong with his head? Even if he was able to absorb a part of the blast with a shield, he would still be hit! Who knew what unbearable pain and severe wounds they may have caused to themselves with such a mindless stunt?!

Unknown to them, the two were instead having fun.

With a smile on her face, Phylia exclaimed, "Master, this is fun!"

"Hehe… this is the first time you try surfing… I'm happy that you liked it!"

"Hmh!" Nodding happily, Phylia held herself on Shu Himo while laughing.

If it was a normal explosion, Shu Himo would not be sure about resisting against it, but it was his own attack! How lame would it be if he were to get hurt by it? Altering slightly the formation, he not only reduced its strength but also modified its focal point, so that instead of a large burst it would be focused on the violin.

Aura Azusa, seeing that Shu Himo and Phylia were fine, smiled as she clenched her fist, 'I can't lose to them!' Softly tapping on the ground with her right foot, her feet suddenly detached from the ground, as she began to fly, rushing to the ship as fast as possible, attempting to arrive before the other two.

Yubei Kolas's jaw fell as he muttered in shock, "But… they could just use the rope from the ship to climb up on it…"

While he was still shocked by what he was seeing, he heard the voice of Hynvers Azharde from behind, "The results of the divination are interesting this time… it seems that if Shu Himo were to become our leader, we would pass the rest of our days in tranquillity and peace."

"Eh?" Yubei Kelos froze, "You're kidding, right?" If his divination resulted in tranquillity and peace… wouldn't the rest of their lives become hell?

Faithe Malkia instead, had an excited smile on her face, 'Maybe with him as the leader, it will become more fun?'

"I know, it would be boring, right?" While giving a knowing smile, Hynvers Azharde attempted to ease his worries, "There is no need to worry, I also made a divination to know if he will pass the test or not… and the result was that it is impossible! He doesn't have any chance at all to complete it."

At that moment, the back of Yubei Kelos was covered in cold sweat.
