(Chapter 19)

"So, are you ready, Manli?"

"... Yeah. I'll try to kill the fishes but only one by one okay? My whip is only a Mutant grade so we don't know yet if it will really kill them..."

Yang Manli summoned his green whip with the appearance of a scorpion's tail.

"... Does it have a poison attribute?"

"Yes, but don't worry if you're worried about the meats that might go bad and will not be able to be sold or eat. It has an antidote too if something mishap happens. And this is the Mutant Beast Soul of Emerald Frigid Scorpion."

Yang Manli winks at Shyrveen while waving her beautiful whip, that can slash, whip, and pierce.

"Frigid?..."

"Yeah, once hit, it will slow the creature while being poisoned to death. Real beauty it is, right?... Want to try?"

"No, thank you. I'm not masochist..."

'Don't I? But I can't feel any pleasure from it and I will only endure the pain if it's only necessary though...?'

Shyrveen heavily decline fast and lost to his crazy mind again and shook his head after thinking that kind of idea...

"Once you can kill, the collaboration starts. The first Beast Soul will be mine, but the whole corpse is yours. Then we will take the body one by one alternatively, and the second Beast Soul will be yours, is that okay?"

"... It's an equal contract then?"

Yang Manli thinks this seriously since the gang is involved here because Shyrveen is seeking for the gang's service.

Then she looked at the bear creature that standing on the shore while staring seriously at the flat and silent waters of the Loch, with four High Orcs on stand by beside it.

"Well, it's not that bad since you can't kill the fish once it was thrown on the shore, but I can't kill the fish in the first place if that is not the case too, so we're both doing something to achieve this... Alright, I accept this as the person of the gang."

"So we can start now?"

"Yeah- Wait!"

Yang Manli nods but shouted suddenly after remembering something.

"Hmmm?"

"How we will bring those bodies back? Each of them is thrice the size of the human's stomach..."

"Oh... I'll take care of it, don't worry."

"... If you say so... Are you really sure?"

Yang Manli looked at the man confusedly and agreed but asked again for the second time because she can't think of how he will do something about it.

Because once they leave the place, and fetch helpers to go back here, there's a chance that other creatures or people already snatched it. They're Mutants after all.

"Of course."

"... Then okay... One of your secrets then?"

Shyrveen shrugs and lets Tank start the operation.

Tank took a dive professionally and swam like one of the fishes on the lake just to see how big this school of fish in his front.

And roared but no sounds were released. He is a shadow soldier under a strong king and so, no need to breathe and hunt those fishes that he expected to run away from him but only to be stunned and triggered his anger.

He thought that the mere fishes dare to hunt him!? A bear leader of the pack that once sitting at the top of the food chain, were against him!?

Above the water lake, they can see how so suddenly to have a disturbance in the water. The waters are splashing here and there. Soon, they saw the waters started to be stained with red hues.

Shyrveen can see how fast his status window changing. It's more suitable to say that his status window was an old hunchback television with bad signal and the screen is changing with the real images and static images, from the decreasing of MP to a restored state.

'... So Tank is above Mutant creatures, but he is being overwhelmed by numbers...'

On the Earth.

Sung Jin-Woo is staring at the ceiling while focusing his mind on the voice saying.

'Mutant creature Crimson Iron-Bone Fish was killed. No Beast Soul gained. Eat the flesh of Mutant Crimson Iron-Bone Fish to gain 0 to 10 Geno Points randomly.'

"... So, my shadows can face those Mutants that Hyung can't handle for now... But why all this time, how many my shadows kill the creatures, I didn't gain a single Beast Soul? Even only this Ordinary one..."

He murmurs in his room after thinking about the possibility and found one answer.

"Is it because I still have an incomplete access?... Hyung said that the place is in another universe... So, it might be the reason why the Beast Soul isn't transferring here?..."

It's been three days that soon to be four, that he completed his quest but the system didn't give him the continuous quest of how to complete the Teleportation Skill.

[! Skill

Incomplete Teleportation

- Can access a certain place in the !@#$%^&* Universe to kill creatures and gain Geno Points.

- Incomplete Stage: Need a physical contact with the "One" to teleport in God's First's Sanctuary, and the same way to get back in this Earth.]

And now he's stuck in his room thinking how to trigger that quest...

Back to the God's Sanctuary, Ethereal Loch.

Shyrveen shouted.

"Tank! Don't kill them all, throw the fish here alive!"

That soon got a response of the fish flying towards the High Orcs that came from the water. And the High Orc subconsciously swing its axe to cut the fish in half but only to be stunned and saw how the fish made a flight path in parabola style towards Shyrveen.

But Yang Manli twist her wrist to make her whip to pierce the head of the fish on the air.

"Thanks. Did you got the Beast Soul?"

"... Where's my 'I love you'?"

Shyrveen asked but answered by not related question. And he blinks and tactically dodges the question as he murmured then looked at the High Orcs.

"I guess you didn't... Guys!... Seems that all you can do, eh?"

"ROAR!!!"

The High Orcs felt insulted and decided not to use axes but their bare hands this time and ragingly went in the water to massacre the fishes.

"Don't forget that I need them alive! Or else I'll complain to your king!"

But Shyrveen threatened them and thinking that those shadows already hate him to boot because of this and provocation from the past days.

"King?"

"Secret~"

"Muu..."

Yang Manli got confused from the word and asked Shyrveen, but only to pout after answering her while winking at her.

She can't focus her mind about the thing since she's blushing and losing from her fantasy about the winks.

'... So easy.'

Shyrveen said smugly in his mind and the fish that rarely flying on the shore started to increase and glancing from time to time in his broken status window.

'Seems I worried for nothing, I thought the system will be overwhelmed too from the fast supplementing of MP to the shadows to regenerate their bodies...'

Under the waters of the lake.

Four High Orcs can be seen walking on the ground.

They can't swim but they're abusing the aggressiveness of the fishes and soon, they switching places to kill some while throwing some in the air towards the shore.

And five of them, shadows, heard an absurd order from the hateful human, but for their king, they will do anything.

"Don't forget to bring the meats of those you killed! Your king will be pleasured to eat them, one of them is enough to suspend five of you not to be summoned for one month you know!..."

Shyrveen was elated in his mind seeing the business in the waters started to be more lively.

While Yang Manli is multitasking in her mind;

First is doing what she needs to do for the gang, kill the creatures on the airs that flying towards them.

Second is fantasizing herself and Shyrveen making love in this place.

Third and lastly, is listening to what Shyrveen is saying to the bluish-black creatures for more information about them.

She can't keep her mind doing them and so she decided to do it moderately and alternatively.

Soon, after half an hour, Yang Manli notified Shyrveen, and willed the Beast Soul to appeared in a sleeping state, and instructed him how to make the Beast Soul be in tradable state.

"I got the Beast Soul, take it. Just imagine and willed it that you're taking the Beast Soul with your two hands and it will fly to your chest and it will be yours now."

Shyrveen followed the instruction and saw that it's really the case. And can't wait to summon it on his right palm.

While the metal bow appeared and starting to change to the melded bow.

Yang Manli can't still get used to this uniqueness of her love.

Even Qin Xuan was shocked to see and know about it and decided to accept the plan of Shyrveen in the first place even though she really wants him to officially be in the Bulleye team.

Shyrveen tried to fire the arrow and easily pierced through the head of its own kin, but it disappears and reappears on his right palm.

"Woah... Nice penetration. But what if... Stay there Manli and continue the killing, let me get used to this first..."

He decided to step back and melded the brown feathered arrow with the Beast Soul.

Yang Manli was confused but soon panicked after hearing and seeing Shyrveen fell on the rocky ground while having a seizure, she tried to stop doing the killing and check him but only to hear his voice with authority.

"Don't!... I'm conscious... Just let my body... Like this..."

Yang Manli clenched harder her whip and gritted her teeth.

"... Fuck you! I don't care about these creatures!"

Swung her whip to kill all the fish at the same time that's on the air and then got the second Beast Soul of the fish but she ignored it and ran towards him.

Shyrveen sigh in his mind and open his mouth.

"... Guys... Come up... Pick your kills... Separate them... And guard us..."

"You! How can't you be more careful of yourself and stop being more worried than the other thing!?"

Yang Manli shouted at him while she don't know what to do if she will hug him or help him stand up, she really can't decide.

'... That's what I did...'

Shyrveen smiled bitterly in his mind but didn't voice it out.

"Just... Let this be... And can you... Help me... Put my left hand... Facing the lake?..."

"... What for!?"

"Please... Sweety..."

Shyrveen can only use his trump card and call her like that.

'I'm sorry, but it will take a long time to let this body familiarized with the pain... And the corpses will turn bad once I'm finished...'

Yang Manli gritted harder her teeth and had an urge to punch this man to stop his doing, but hearing her greatest wish to hear from Shyrveen was used like this.

She is happy but angry, wants to cry in joy but to hate it at the same time.

"Fine! But I want to hear that word from now on! Okay!? Damn you!"

She wipes her tears and pick Shyrveen's wrist only to feel how tense the shivering is, and it's more feels like she was holding a hand of a dead person minus the shaking.

Yang Manli wants to bite Shyrveen to lessen her mixed emotions but controlled herself then finally position his hand facing the lake.

"Done! What now!?"

And can only use the shouting to let out her feelings, then suddenly she was stunned again for the unknown times already after seeing what's happening in her front.

The bodies of the Mutant creatures for more than one hundred pieces, her kills plus the kills of the five creatures, disappeared, completely, as if her eyes are only playing with her.

"You-... You had the ability of the Demigod?... That thing can only be acquired in the creatures of the Fourth Sanctuary... Or rarely in Third Sanctuary... Wait, wait, wait! Since you have something like a space bag, then order your creatures to follow me and protect us while I'm bringing you back to the shelter..."

Yang Manli was intended to put him on her back but was stopped.

"No... Commotion... Pain... In the ass..."

"Argg! I want to bash your numbskull just of once! I thought, loving you will be less frustrating since your not interested in any girls but it wasn't the case!"

"... Then... You can... Leave me... Now..."

Shyrveen said with broken words since the pain he feels from the Mutant Beast Soul was three times more painful from the Ordinary.

His clothes are long gone wet from the sweats and his eyes blinking irregularly, but still grasping the brown feathered arrow strongly.

Then only to feel a strong slap in his face and tried his best to look at Yang Manli and heard her.

"Fuck you. Don't compare me with the other girls that will turn off from such shit! I'm just frustrated that you lack emotions! But my feelings are still true! And I already decided a long time ago that I'll make you feel again! Hmmph! But just for now! Let me hit you!!!"

Then she slaps for more than unknown times the poor and an indefensible man's body on the ground.

And waited for a few more hours before Shyrveen can move his body again...
