(Chapter 23)

After Han Sen pulled Shyrveen up to the shore and in the very moment they hid their bodies behind the big boulder, camouflage from Shyrveen was gone.

Han Sen then asked him via code while staring at his gasping friend.

'What was that and took almost your energy?'

'Certain ability.'

'... You're really out of this universe eh, even if that's an Innate Ability, there should be still some limits for them in one body, but the case in you... Tell me, it's won't stop for eighth, right?'

For Han Sen's knowledge, 'Space Bag' and the bluish-black creatures were still added to Shyrveen's innate abilities, even Shyrveen already said it's only temporary.

But not knowing about the difference between Shyrveen and other people in Han Sen's universe while gaining Geno Points, that will be ninth instead.

'Just let me rest, I used Ordinary Beast Soul to cover us, with one Sacred-Blood and Mutant Beast Souls in our bodies, the burden multiplied.'

Han Sen and Shyrveen waited and Han Sen decided to peek into the cave to watch what's happening inside.

'Can you share the weird sense again? The thing that made me saw everything underwater?'

'Yes but it will be only applied once we're under the water.'

'Damn.'

'... What do you think about the snake?'

'It's Sacred-Blood creature for sure, but Son of Heaven will not be this hurried like a hell is on his ass if he aimed the snake itself from the very beginning...'

'... Can you see if there's an egg inside?... If there's any, this should be a nest... And if it's really true then expect that there will be one more snake. So prepare for the worst.'

Han Sen gulped and thought that this was much harder than he thought. Then Shyrveen said again

'... Can you deal with one snake?'

'... I can... But it will harder to fight than to escape if we will do what you said earlier before we marched up here though...'

'That's fine. Then are you sure you can knock out Son of Heaven?'

'... Do I really need to make him long unconscious? Why not kill him here?'

'It's fine if they didn't recruit those thugs at the very entrance of the shelter. If you went back alive and all of them did not. They will not only look down on you, the people behind that man might act against you, or to you're family if the worst.'

'... Shit...'

Then Han Sen glared at the Son of Heaven that snatched the two eggs and started running away while Luo Tianyang using some thugs as meat shields to buy them time and thought.

'These fucking heartless bastards! You're lucky that I broke my spear and brother Shyr made sense to my mind, or else you will become snake food here today like the others...'

And notified Shyrveen that Son of Heaven will reach their hiding place near the entrance in any seconds now.

'But I didn't hear you saying I can't break a bone or two, right?...'

'It's up to you how to let out your personal grudges with them just don't kill them, there will be a perfect time for that... Aren't you like that when you hunted the first three months here right?'

'... You're right, brother Shyr... Waiting for the perfect chance when to strike at there very best moment... Which is my strongest point...'

Then both of them heard the louder sound of running feet getting out of the inner cave.

As what they planned from the very start, snatch what Son of Heaven might up to, and now. They're in the very first phase of snatching things.

Han Sen appeared in the exact moment and punch Son of Heaven on his chin while wearing the Sacred-Blood Armor and transformed into a Bloody Slayer.

Son of Heaven almost passed out from the punch, that shook his brain so hardly. And in a dizzy feeling, he recognized the golded armor and that Sacred-Blood creature that was stolen from him.

"Dollar!!!"

But even with his almost eighty Sacred Geno Points, the punch that made of two hard Sacred-Blood Beast Souls, shook his brain for the second time into the darkness this time.

Han Sen became a boxing champion that gave Son of Heaven two fast consecutive heavy punches while controlling his strength not to kill him but breaking his chin isn't included to 'Don'ts' before saving the two eggs from breaking before they fall on the ground.

Then Han Sen throws the eggs to Shyrveen that was caught and sent into his inventory.

Han Sen picked up Son of Heaven and throws him to the opposite side of the river with full strength.

Son of Heaven's unconscious body can be seen flying in a parabola style on the air before hitting the wall hard.

Han Sen snickered after hearing a loud bang from the contact of Son of Heaven's body and wall. And started to run towards the inner cave, while ignoring the snake that was following Son of Heaven.

The six-foot snake was angered after seeing its egg disappeared and went to that place while ignoring Han Sen too that was running inside the cave but didn't forget to lash out with its tail to aim Han Sen.

'Holy shit! That was closed! But brother Shyr's conclusions were right!...'

But Han Sen let it pass and still running towards the inner cave.

'I need to make Luo Tianyang unconscious too but not without receiving several hits too from me! Wiping out all the members of the gang and leave those two alive... Before fighting the second snake... I just wish brother Shyr can still handle the first snake before I killed this one...'

While Shyrveen jumps to the side to dodge the incoming bite from the snake and summons the shadows and ran away to make a distance and summoned the melded bow and melded brown feathered arrow.

Slid on the ground and shifted the weight and aim and fired.

The snake rages after seeing the weird creatures blocking him from pursuing the hateful human that took its eggs, and took a bite to the body of the bear in half but only to be confused for why it is still alive and can feel its smugness and hate too.

Tank dashed out and cross slash to the body of the snake and made it bleed but not deep enough to be fatal, and was followed by for High Orcs with axes on their hands that dealt the same damage.

'If they were still alive, they're nothing before Sacred-Blood creatures eh... But thankfully, this broken status can keep up with the regeneration of the shadows... If there's ten shadows, for sure five of them will not be summoned forever...'

Shyrveen wipes out his sweat after calculating the damages from the fight while seeing how big his MP was decreasing from each bite and whip of its tail to the shadows.

He was changing position to maintain distance and aiming at the possible chance to a higher one to hit the snake's eyes accurately with his melded blue feathered arrow this time.

But each time he fired, the hateful snake is prioritizing to dodge the arrow than those shadows.

The snake was using its size to full advantage not to be hit in the head by the shadows but its whole body is full of wounds now.

And accumulated over time for passed fifteen minutes now.

Inside the cave, two screams from the two snakes, two by two individuals trying to kill each other, and hitting the cavern's wall from time to time can be heard echoing to the whole cave.

Every people inside was killed, shivering from fear or unconscious by the snakes or Han Sen that sometimes by Shyrveen too once he felt a malicious stares aimed at him, he will fire without thinking using the brown feathered arrow towards its locations.

Shyrveen knows that if its Han Sen, he can dodge or block it. But if it's not him, death is only the answer for them.

He didn't kill those stares that have fear inside them and waiting for something before he acts but only to double make sure that they don't recognize him even in this very dark place.

These people didn't practice Jadeskin and their torches were already long gone.

And Shyrveen lost his disguised the moment he jumped in the river.

'After all, they're innocents, for now, I don't kill without a reason but they once saw a chance to kill steal from me, sorry but before you all can take your first step... Greet Yama for me...'

Shyrveen was observing the snake for most of the time and saw how those shadows trying to add more damages to those wounds to make it deeper.

But suddenly, he was stunned for why the snake went under the river and something clicks on his mind and rushed in the water without remorse to follow it.

'Shit... Don't tell me...'

Then he melded with the Mutant Beast Soul Crimson Iron-Bone Fish to make the creature's properties to be his as he grasped the arrow.

And he saw that the snake was recovering its wounds slowly, that saw him too and darted towards him, he dodges in time but a fang grazed him on his arm.

He didn't order the shadows anymore because they were enraged too with nothing to fear to be killed because of the lack of mana supply, then dive forward even if it is a disadvantage to them.

And once got a grip on the snake's wounded body, they did dare to let go, and instead they clutch harder to dig deeper.

That totally angered the snake and didn't care anymore for the shadows and aimed at Shyrveen, that dodges while wincing because the fang that grazed him has poison too.

Then an idea appeared on his mind and swim harder around the snake body with the head following him behind.

Just for three minutes, Shyrveen made a big knot under the water using the snake, even it's head is now immobile to one place and can't move forever.

Shyrveen smiled and went up ashore and drink one health potion.

'... Good... One more minute I'll be dead by this poison...'

He said in his mind before going back in the river, swam to the back of its head, and stabs harder for multiple times to the eyes until the melded blue feathered arrow reaches the snake's brain.

He didn't stops until the voice resounded on his brain.

'Sacred-Blood creature Obsidian Dragon was killed. Beast Soul of Sacred-Blood Obsidian Dragon gained. Eat the flesh of Sacred-Blood Obsidian Dragon to gain 0 to 10 Geno Points randomly.'

'Haa... Finally... And I gained it's Beast Soul... Nice... But wait! Han Sen!'

Shyrveen hurriedly put in the body of the snake to the inventory and went out of the water with the shadows and run inside the inner cave.

After reaching the place, he saw some mangled bodies and few unconscious bodies around the two individuals that are still fighting.

Shyrveen sent out Tank and the High Orc Guard to help Han Sen and shouted.

"Hey, Dollar. Let me help you!"

Han Sen knows that they need to act strangers and so replied back after a few seconds silence to be more realistic.

"... Sure! Beast Soul will be his and the meat will be divided."

"Alright, nice!"

Shyrveen said happily and aimed and fired. The other three High Orc became his bodyguards against those people who are still having delusional reality.

"Don't even try to be the second Dollar. Before you can even take one step in the battlefield, my arrow will be teleported to your foreheads. And don't even try to aim at me, these guys beside me are enough to deal with you all... So just relax there and have some picnic for the time being or else you all will teleport to another sanctuary called Hell."

With being intimidated by an unknown person because they can only see silhouettes of human shadows to where the voice came from, they decided to only fantasize that one of them was one the these people that can fight Sacred-Blood creatures, toe to toe.

Soon, the snake was killed and Shyrveen got its Beast Soul again that made him confused but didn't voice it out.

'There's the right time to ask and talk about this...'

"Let's get out and divide the meat... I'll take care of the body first."

Shyrveen made a gestured with his hand and for the people that still alive and conscious, the big silhouette in the dark in their perspective that telling it's the snake, begone, disappeared so suddenly that stunned them and heard Dollar's voice saying.

"Tell Son of Heaven that not all people are idiots... By the way, we can collaborate mister?"

"Of course, and call me Bill, related to money like yours..."

"Hoo... Same taste as mine eh."

And that's the last thing that those people heard from the two awesome people...
