(Chapter 38)

"I was asking you! Don't ignore me fool! Who are you!?"

But only to be answered by a big hand that made of ice and floating in the air then clenches into a fist and punched towards him.

The hand isn't that too fast, or too slow.

If Shyrveen wanted it to be, for sure he can kill Son of Heaven with a snap of fingers.

'... It was said that the human body is made of 75% liquid... Should I try?...'

Son of Heaven summoned his Mutant Beast Soul Armor and crossed his arms to his front to block the ice fist smugly but only for his face to be contorted in shock expression and his body smashes again to the few trees before stopping.

Fist Guy saw it and decided to be chill and raised his both arms to Shyrveen to see.

"Easy my friend... Even though I'm angry at you from the sudden attack under the water... Seeing you harnessing the power of ice... I want to ask, if you want to sell the Beast Soul to me?..."

"... What Beast Soul?"

Shyrveen was confused that made all the people confused too.

"???"

Then Fist Guy shook his head for feeling the masked man in front of him isn't lying, then something clicks on his mind.

"... Wait, you were under the water all the time... You didn't saw the phenomenon here?"

"What phenomenon?"

Shyrveen turns to look at Han Sen, which he pointed for Shyrveen.

"There was once a small ice world here... See the destroyed landscape over there?"

Shyrveen glanced at the location and saw the things in the diameter turned into small ice cubes, balls, and whatever, then he shifted his eyes to Fist Guy.

"Ahh... Sorry to burst your bubble but it wasn't made by any Sacred-Blood creatures... It's my Innate Ability... And call me 'Coin'."

'... I should tell Jin-Woo to play 'Bill', if it's okay with him... Since they know that 'Bill' harness the darkness... And now, I don't have his shadows to play 'Bill'... It's safe to say like this... Well, of course, I don't know about these two women but brother Sen already know this act play...'

Shyrveen shrugs in his inner mind and waited for Fist Guy's response, and after several seconds. He can't wait anymore for there's still the Sacred-Blood creatures that need to be killed.

"... If you're still doubtful... Tell me... Can you see the sign of the Beast Soul being used while I'm doing this?..."

Shyrveen imagines for his ice to become a Snow Globe and shattered the glass and the deer, rabbits, birds, bees, and other inhabitants in the miniature forest inside, spread out in any directions, and disappeared soon after the glass wall was gone.

Fist Guy's face became dejected after seeing this.

In the Alliances, some kind of Innate Abilities can be awakened as well just like this, they are very rare but still known by many in any corners and planets of the Alliance.

And so, Fist Guy can only shake his head after he confirmed this, then glanced back at Son of Heaven that has been put into an unconscious state.

'... Even with Mutant Beast Soul Armor wasn't enough to stop this man's icy hand to knock him out... Wait... The fish from earlier is sure a Sacred-Blood though...'

Then stared at Shyrveen before opening his mouth to ask.

"Are you killing the Sacred-Blood fish? Can we make a deal?..."

That made Qin Xuan and Yang Manli to realized that this is the right time to join in the conversation.

"Coin! We can make a better offer!"

Shouted by Qin Xuan while glaring at Shyrveen but she didn't make it show on her face.

While Yang Manli is restricting herself to jump onto Shyrveen but that will blow up the acts to nothing.

Shyrveen can feel both stares and decided to hurry this thing because he knows too well that Yang Manli is on the brink of 'I don't care anymore!' thing.

And Han Sen was stunned after hearing successful notices from gaining Four Super Geno Points from the Life Essences that make him shiver in excitement, but no one other than Shyrveen was noticing him because from the other's sight he is the Ass Freak, the forever loner and weak Non-Evolver.

"I'll think about it... Brother Sen... Can you take care of these two Mutant Beast Soul first?"

Shyrveen said and looked at Han Sen and gave him the Beast Souls that he got from the involved Mutant fishes earlier.

"Sure, brother Coin!"

Han Sen nodded while smiling so brightly.

'... I can guess that becoming the second person knowing that there's beyond the Sacred-Bloods makes his blood boil to seek them...'

Shyrveen thought as he flew to the air and while in flight, he summoned the old Mutant Arrow and the third one he got earlier, then started to merged them like what he did with the Dragon Tadpole.

But only to wince after feeling the pain and saw that it failed, the two Mutant Beast Souls can be seen floating in his front away from each other and saw that there's a crack or damage from both figures.

'Ugh... C'mon... Don't tell me getting three Mutant Beast Souls drained my luck?... And there's a damage now... So, I can only merge Beast Souls for certain times, or else they will be killed in the process?...'

Then after he is sure that he is high enough, he stopped and started to concentrate on merging them, which was successful and merge into a new, without damage, Mutant Beast Soul.

Beast Souls gained: Ordinary Black Beetle, Ordinary Illusionist Snake, Ordinary Azure-Tailed Eagle, Mutant Crimson Iron-Bone Fish (3 Stars), Sacred-Blood Obsidian Dragon (4 Stars),

'... Only (3 Stars)?... Is it because it wasn't a Sacred-Blood?... Stop this first... Let's try to give this Mana...'

And after several minutes, the Mutant became Mutated. Which now have an element of Ice.

But Shyrveen noticed that nothing changed from its name that made him confused.

He shook his head and summoned the new bow that's been melded by Ordinary Bow and inserted the mana that changed its appearance into an ice bow with the characteristics of Azure-Tailed Eagle.

Looking down, he pulled the string and his sight zoomed in under the lake which he saw the three creatures are looking back at him.

'... Sacred-Creature's sight is really overpowered... Or maybe because they are fish, it's using the water as their mirror to be binoculars?... Welp... Bye and give me your Beast Souls...'

From the other perspectives, they saw Coin stopped in midair for several minutes before a blue arrow and bow appeared in his hand and pulled its string.

Shyrveen let go of the string and the arrow disappeared from their sight, no one from them can follow the arrow on its flight path towards the lake but only to see something on the air broke.

Then everyone saw a mini tsunami again that has been made to the lake and only to hurriedly covered their ears after hearing a loud booming sound.

Shyrveen didn't stop and willed the arrow to reappear again and to fire again until to the last Sacred-Blood fish.

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

He only got the Beast Soul from the third kill that made him sigh.

'... Oh well, I'll just ask Qin Xuan or Manli for where this fish can be hunted...'

Then he dives as he flaps his wings to reach the surface of the lake and dive under the water to put into his inventory the corpses of the four fishes that each of them has one hole on their heads.

Then he looks around and puts the other corpses of Mutant fishes for not to be wasted.

'... This should be enough... No need to emptied this lake of these fishes since the qualities of their meats are top-notch...'

Shyrveen decided to stop now and gone up to the shore and went to Han Sen as he laid down his palm.

"I'll give you a gift someday, brother Han."

Han Sen gave Shyrveen back the other two Mutant Arrow before hearing someone shouted that got the attention of all.

"Wait! Coin!"

Fist Guy shouted as he wants to make Coin remember him to make a deal but Shyrveen stops him from saying.

"... I'm sorry, but I'm going to use the Beast Soul and about the meat of the creature... I'll share it first with my good brothers. Unless you want to buy the corpses of the Mutant fishes, leave your room number to this good brother and I'll find and ask brother Han about it."

"Huh?"

Fist Guy, not only him, but other people too looked at the calm waters of the lake only to found nothing but red stains.

"... Then aren't you the 'Bill' person too!? He has the Space Bag too!"

"... And how the hell I can be my brother Bill?... First of all, Bill's color is black, Dollar's color is gold, and me, blue. Please don't be mistaken by each one of us. Two of us had an innate ability of Space Bag but mine is smaller... And in this case, this ice is my second awakening... Are we good now, Mister?"

"... Yeah, just Fist Guy is fine... Second awakening?... Then aren't you the genius of the geniuses then!?..."

Shyrveen stops talking and passed a few seconds to support what he will say.

"... I'm no genius, just lucky... Now, Miss?"

Then he looked at Qin Xuan.

"Qin, Qin Xuan... Are you gonna offer me what you said to Fist Guy?"

Shyrveen only nodded and glance at Son of Heaven that has been awakened by the sound barrier being broken by the arrows.

After meeting with the eyes of Son of Heaven, Coin stated for the others to hear.

"Try to isolate our good friend Han Sen again... Or we three don't mind coming for your ass to throw you out of the shelter..."

Then Shyrveen flap his ice wings and flew away from the place and disappeared to the horizon in just several seconds.

Han Sen smirked in his inner mind while bowing before Shyrveen disappeared from their sight.

"Thank you, brother Coin! Thank brother Dollar and Bill too for me!!!"

With matching cheerful waving of his hand and jumps for the more realistic act.

While the other two women rolled their eyes and grab Han Sen and Qin Xuan waved her hand to say goodbye at Fist Guy that nodded while sighing at them.

"We will go back first, Fist Guy... I'll talk to this Ass Freak before you can talk to him..."

"... Alright."

Fist Guy glanced at the Son of Heaven that cursing at his people and to Coin too to the sky while emptying his lungs with air.

'Three Money Kings?... Haa... The Steel Armor Shelter is sure lively now, eh?...'

Then he went back to the shelter and order for his men to follow the path of Steel Armor Gang.

Shyrveen flew in low altitude and dive in the lush forest and changed his appearances out of his disguise and went back straight to shelter.

But only to be seen by one member of the gang of Qin Xuan that has been waiting for him at the entrance of the shelter and escorted him to the office where he saw Qin Xuan, Yang Manli, and Han Sen.

"And so the three-face person is here~... I won't merry go round around the bush, Bill, Coin, or Shyr, whatever. I'll buy the Beast Soul for 20 million Levo Dollar and ten million for the Sacred-Blood corpse."

Qin Xuan was sitting in her seat while crossed legs and went straight to the point as she asked Shyrveen.

"No... I told you at the lake I will use the Beast Soul and will feast for its meats..."

Shyrveen only stares at her eyes that after several seconds, Qin Xuan sigh.

"So why 'Coin' and not playing the 'Bill'?"

"... Hmmm? Didn't I told you both that it was only temporary? I contracted those shadows as my bodyguards for my personal deal with my friend and since I got my own powers now, I gave them back."

Shyrveen tilted his head to act innocent while Yang Manli pinching his waist while hugging his body once he took a seat on the couch.

"!? Huh!? Are you shitting me!? Innate Ability that can be given to the person temporarily!?... T-That's bullshit, Shyr!"

Qin Xuan stands up from her seat and smack the table for the shocking discovery and massages her forehead for this.

'Not in my world though...'

Shyrveen shrugs as he thought but didn't voice it out.

"Well, if you don't want to accept it, it's up to you, stationmaster... By the way, do you know where this kind of fishes inhabits a place?"

"... I'll tell you but you must sell at least one Beast Soul and body of the Sacred-Blood to me. Take it or leave it?..."

Shyrveen didn't agreed hurriedly and thought for a bit while glancing at Yang Manli and only for Qin Xuan to say.

"Don't take advantage of Manli's love for you. I'm asking you not as a friend but as the head of the gang."

"... What if the place only consists of one Sacred-Blood then? Just for you to know, at the Ethereal Loch there's two. I can't sell you the meats for now because I'll share it with my good brothers first."

Shyrveen lay down a problem for that kind of deal and gave an information to Qin Xuan but only for Yang Manli to intervene.

"Am I included?"

"I don't mind to share some for you and Qin Xuan, as a friend. But we're talking about things at this time as the deal by two sides."

Yang Manli smiled lovingly at him and kissed him on his cheek.

"Yay!~ Thanks darling!~ I still need 50 points for Sacred and 40 to Mutants, its been so long that I maxed out my Ordinary and Primitives just so you know~ But I didn't say this to be depended on you though."

"It's okay, no harm done."

"Eherm! If that's the case, I'll buy the Beast Soul first, after that for the next location, the meats."

"... Hee... Are you implying that I can gain the Beast Soul every time I kill them? That's making me under in this deal, stationmaster."

"... Haa... Fine! Then the meat will be traded first if you didn't get the Beast Soul and will be the vice versa for the second location."

"Are you sure? As you know, I'm a master of acting and disguise. How you will know that I'm not lying?..."

"... It's up to you. You're not even under my banner officially and now... You're stronger than any person here in the shelter... What I can do?"

Qin Xuan said sarcastically in Shyrveen question and stared at the dead eyes of Shyrveen for a long time, not backing down.

"... Alright. Deal... What about you, brother Sen?"

Han Sen didn't say anything first while they're talking since he is an outsider for those topics, but now that has been asked.

"I'm good, brother Shyr, and I was thinking of... To explore on my own for around one to two months, I think. To check my capabilities, since you've been helping me to gain Geno points from your kindness."

Shyrveen understood once what Han Sen is trying to say and nodded at him.

'So, he still wants to lay low... Alright.'

After spending more time inside the office to talk about business and personal things.

Han Sen went out and said goodbye to them, Qin Xuan relaxed her back to her own chair and thinking all the things about Shyrveen and this person who can give Innate Ability even only for temporarily.

Shyrveen went back to his own room and greeted the members on his way, while Yang Manli is clinging onto him all this time.

He glanced at her and thought.

'... I think it's fine for her to seal her lips about my secret related to Beast Souls... And I need to think over again all the things that I got from the Soul Shard and Irveen.'

Because when he thought about the planets outside of the sanctuary but still inside of this Great Gene Universe.

Irveen said to his mind for the second time while he is not inside the dark place, that he can spend half of his mana pool to teleport to these planets but he needs a mediator to that said planet and this mediator needs to think about the place or else, he, Shyrveen will go back to his own world with the mediator, instead...
