(Chapter 74)

"Darling!!!"

"Brother Shyr!"

Yang Manli runs and jumps towards Shyrveen before kissing him in a deep kiss.

Han Sen recalls everything and hugs Shyrveen too after waiting for the lovers to finish their lovey-dovey moments.

"... So, what was that, that I saw, brother Sen? Wait... You both awakened now?"

Shyrveen tried to ask about the first thing that he saw after he was out of the egg but only to feel the magical presence of Han Sen and Yang Manli.

"Yup!~ And I got a Wind Element, darling!~"

She grabs his hands and jumps around like a child.

"Oh~ How nice, that's better for you being an archer, sweety."

"I know right?~"

She was in ecstasy after hearing the compliment of her lover that full of love, care and etc. now, compared from the past that lack of emotional things.

"What about you, brother Sen?"

"..."

But Han Sen only smirked before producing some lightning bolts that are golden bolts.

He tried to produce the green and silver lightning, but it seems that the Beast Souls didn't even leave a single drop of both bolts of lightning for him.

He scratches his cheeks about this, but didn't let it to be in his mind for too long before looking at Shyrveen.

"Lightning, eh?~"

Shyrveen put a thumbs up for Han Sen while smirking too.

"But, Brother Shyr!"

Han Sen summoned the beetle and the minotaur before proceeding to tell Shyrveen for what happened earlier and requested for Shyrveen to take care of the Beast Souls to evolve.

All of them knew that they can't sell these irregular Beast Souls now and so, decided to evolve them into a higher stage instead.

"Good news though, we can evolve them further into a stage of the second sanctuary's Beast Souls."

Shyrveen smiled for them and drop the bomb.

"What!? T-That's wicked! Hahaha! Then I'll search for Beast Souls that can complement the minotaur and the beetle too!"

Han Sen laughed so loud after recalling the Beast Souls and started to think every possible Beast Soul around the shelter for his sworn brother to merge with the minotaur and the beetle.

'Maybe I can try to contact Su Xiaoqiao as Dollar to know more about Beast Souls...'

But only to be teased by Yang Manli while grinning.

"Pshh! Bitch please, Sen... You like a shit, when you shapeshifted into minotaur then flying with what? Three pairs of slim and thin wings of the beetle? Instead of recognizing you as Dollar, they might hunt you down as a mutated Sacred-Blood Bloody Slayer..."

Making Shyrveen laughed as he remembered the flying minotaur with some like wings of the insects that really bad for the appearance.

"Hahaha! Sweety has a point, brother Sen. It will be a good one if your wings are beast-like wings."

Han Sen rolled his eyes after hearing this and stopped for a second and imagine himself from different perspectives before nodding unwantedly.

He groans before softly complaining.

"Do I look really weird? But if I didn't use the beetle while I shapeshifted into a minotaur, it will useless..."

Shyrveen taps his shoulder before reassuring him.

"Just tell me if you found a good foundation for the beetle and minotaur before becoming a Super Beast Soul."

"Alright. Thanks, brother Shyr!"

"No problem. But the only downside that all of the evolved irregular Super Beast Souls will be loyal to me, before you both..."

Making Han Sen and Yang Manli look at each other before smiling at Shyrveen.

"Nah, it's fine, darling~"

"Yup. We can just collect other Super Beast Souls too but won't evolve it by your abilities, I remembered that [Pet] Beast Souls will evolve naturally after consuming meats, lots of meats."

Han Sen elaborated to Shyrveen to reassure him this time, that nodded in relief, before dropping another bomb.

"Oh... That's good to here. Alright, if you all are fine with it, then so be it... And another good news again. Mostly for sweety since it will be too long for yours, brother Sen."

"Eh? What do you mean, darling?"

"You all know that I have Soul Shards right?"

They nodded and waited for Shyrveen to continue that shook their hearts compared to the first good news.

"And in every Soul Shard, it contains a Supreme Geno Art..."

"!!! W-What!? Supreme!? But there's only a Hyper in our records!"

If Shyrveen is a stranger to them, for sure they already beat this foolish man saying some bullshit things, to death.

But with the irregulars that already happened, happening, and will happen.

They were force to believe Shyrveen, and thought that even he got back and settle the things within his mind.

Shyrveen's nature of not joking with something like this, will not change.

"That's why this is good news. Because one of the Soul Shards in the first sanctuary is Wind Element. I can guide you sweety to learn this."

Shyrveen nodded and lovingly caress the hair of Yang Manli before looking at Han Sen.

"But the Lightning Soul Shard is in the second sanctuary so you need to wait a bit longer, brother Sen."

But Han Sen shook his head about this, he didn't mind before bowing again sincerely to him.

"It's fine, brother Shyr, I'm already getting a lot of things from you now... Thank you very much for everything."

The help that he did when he met Shyrveen for the first time on the creek was insignificant to what his sworn brother repaying him from the past few weeks even till now.

With Shyrveen's help, everything in his family is starting to lessen the pressures above their shoulders.

He already even made his younger sister study in one of the better schools even though it is not a posh one because they don't have a nobility or aristocratic title, but a good private school is still much better than integrated compulsory education that he only got.

Plus, with the meats of the Mutant and Sacred-Blood creatures in the Abysmal Depths, gave him enough money to sustain his little sister's education fees and maintaining their new lifestyle, not luxurious but not that poor and hard from the past.

'And now, a Supreme Geno Art!? Damn! Brother Shyr is really too good to me...'

"Nah, we're already sworn brother! Don't mention it! But since the good news for you will be delayed, let's change that good news, shall we?~"

Shyrveen smiled mysteriously for Han Sen, before dropping the third bomb that specifically for him.

"?..."

Han Sen tilted his head before his eyes are getting wider and wider as he hears what Shyrveen is saying.

"The thing inside your room... Consume it, Irveen showed me what it can do. It's your fortune that you found it, then you will know what I'm talking about."

"You sure!?"

Han Sen can't believe that the thing was included in here, he was confused and stared with doubt to Shyrveen's eyes, but he saw him nodding seriously.

"Very sure."

Yang Manli is looking at both men while confused and tried to open her mouth to ask about it but stops and only smiled as she stared at the face of her lover satisfyingly.

'I have my darling now... I don't need to know everything as long as darling don't leave me...'

Before she hugs him tightly savoring the warmth of her lover's body, making Shyrveen confused and worried a little bit for a sudden random hugs.

"What wrong, sweety?..."

"Nothing!~"

"... Alright."

But Shyrveen carried her and hugs her back while hugging him like a koala.

"But some good news is still followed by bad news, of course."

Then decided to drop the aftereffects of dropping bombs continuously.

"!!!"

Shyrveen felt Yang Manli's body became tense and became a little worried for this bad news.

While seeing Han Sen closing his eyes slowly, nodding before softly mumbling.

'Of course, everything has counterparts...'

"It's about the Supreme Geno Arts, once you both learn it. Don't say a thing or two about it but only tell something like its another Hyper Geno Arts."

Making the two raced their mind to think about this and realized what the real threat of the bad news, before agreeing with Shyrveen.

'Supreme is a Supreme, first time after the Hyper in the 100 years after discovering God's Sanctuary.'

But Yang Manli looked so seriously to Shyrveen's face while caressing his cheeks.

"Why everything that will be the 'first' in the Alliance, always related to you, darling?... First, about the Super, then next Supreme Geno Arts... What's next? Sooner or later there will be a seventh sanctuary?..."

Shyrveen rolled his eyes from this and chuckles.

"No, there's no such thing as the Seventh Sanctuary, but it seems that there's a Sixth Sanctuary though... I'm not really sure, based on the knowledge that I got from the pure remnants of Irveen, there are a few clues and hints about it..."

"That's!..."

But Yang Manli shook her head and ignore this first because this will be in the very very far future and went back to the bad news again.

"Then tell me about the characteristics of those Geno Arts and I'll try to search if there's one in the records that have similarities once we got back to the sanctuary, darling."

Since she is much more resourceful about information than Han Sen.

And Han Sen nodded for his friend because he knows the gap between their families.

"We can continue that talk once after we are in the Guild's conference suite, Hyung-nim."

Sung Jin-Woo reappears with his shadow exchange with one of the shadow soldiers that lurking in the place.

"Oh, Jin-Woo! Long time no see!"

"Err... Long time no see too, Hyung-nim... But isn't it only 9 days that we saw each other?..."

Sung Jin-Woo was stunned after hearing this awkward thing and greeted Shyrveen too before making sure.

Then he saw Shyrveen pointed at his temple and smiled.

"For me, it's a long time, since I spent around 7 digits days inside my inner mind~"

"7 digits days... Wait! 10,000 days!? That's around 27 years!"

Han Sen exclaimed but gasped while wanting to cry after Shyrveen corrected him.

"... Why it can't be 47,000 plus days?..."

Yang Manli calculated in her mind and softly mumbles.

"... 130+ years?..."

That took both men speechless.

"..."

"..."

The three of them can't imagine Shyrveen just doing nothing but training and learning for that kind of very long time.

Even the school days were already making them somewhat bored but more than one hundred thirty years of school like life...

'...'

Shyrveen somewhat knew what they are thinking and shook his head as he smiled bitterly.

'I know the feeling...'

Before waking up from their trances.

"Alright, let's get out of here~"

But he was stopped by Han Sen calling him.

"Brother Shyr?"

"Yes?"

"..."

Han Sen only smirked before summoning the two Beast Souls again and repeatedly tap the silver axe with his left hand.

Shyrveen raised an eyebrow seeing the taunting gesture of Han Sen to him.

"Oh?~ You want me to beat the shit out of you?"

"Let's see about that!"

Han Sen excitedly told him, then Yang Manli climbs down before walking to a far distance.

Then Sung Jin-Woo decided to be the referee while being curious about the changes of his friends.

"Start- !!!"

Sung Jin-Woo and Shyrveen were stunned.

Sung Jin-Woo uses stealth and reappears to the side of Yang Manli.

While Shyrveen overworks his Genes and Mana in his body before disappearing from the incoming axe to dodge then reappears at Han Sen's back and kick his wide big back for a target.

Then the twenty meters tall minotaur somersault in midair before turning to face Shyrveen that softly landed on the ground and smiling at him.

"... So, you're showing your true nature now, brother Sen?~"

"Hehehe! Thanks for the compliment, brother Shyr~ I live to practice to hunt Primitive creatures and learned to hide my emotions and intentions, so that the creatures sensed no danger even when I approached them..."

He still remembers that when he was a new graduate started to hunt creatures using an ordinary alloy dagger, without any experience.

Even just Ordinary creatures posed great threats to a beginner, not to mention that they often came in groups, so he must have taken an individual creature by surprise and killed it.

Once surrounded by a group, he could only wait to die.

To minimize the danger, he had to ambush and attack, and the most important part was not to alert the creatures, who had more acute senses than men.

In the first month, Han Sen was honing these skills.

It was like playing dirty, but it was also the only way for him to survive at that point

Later, he had to keep practicing and improve his skills in order to kill Primitive creatures, and gradually they became part of his instinct.

Although Han Sen's fighting skills were not even close to advanced, he was no worse than a great assassin in his explosiveness and timing.

Like an assassin, his skills were also honed between life and death, and the only difference was that it was the creatures instead of men that he killed.

After hearing what Han Sen said, Shyrveen's smiles became wide and more excited.

"Then we should escalate these things further to another level, shall we?~ Apollyon."

The forty meters length Chinese Dragon reappears encircles Shyrveen before stopping to face the golden minotaur holding a silver axe.

But Han Sen sweats before this Beast Soul, because.

'He is a Super Beast Soul!'

"Uhh... Err... That's cheating, brother Shyr!"

"No, no, no~ I won't use him as a Pet, I'll try to achieve what Irveen achieved too. Give me a few minutes first."

Han Sen nodded and his nervousness just increases but his curiosity won that nervousness.

Shyrveen closed his eyes and remember what Irveen did.

Knowing that Irveen can't handle the cheat for thirty minutes plus Irveen was already a Surpasser at that time too.

He didn't dare what Irveen did in the dream world to elevate it to pseudo-Gene Armament, more so to be a pseudo-Xenogeneic, but only bypassing the Gene Core to create a pseudo-Gene Armor with Apollyon as he fused Apollyon to him with Bestial Ingress.

Soon, Han Sen, Sung Jin-Woo, and Yang Manli can see the new Shyrveen with black scaled breastplate armor and claw gloves that releasing some red hue, in stunned and shock state.

"... Incomplete? Hahaha! Welp~ I can't do anything yet since this is a pseudo-Gene Armor."

Shyrveen laughs and bends his knees, but before he can sprint towards Han Sen, the man that he is facing raised both arms while shouting to stop him first.

"Wait, wait, wait, brother Shyr! I hear something outrageous here! You said Gene Armor!?..."

"Yes."

Shyrveen nodded but was confused for Han Sen knowing about this after seeing his sudden exclamation.

But some nerves pop up on Shyrveen's forehead before clenching his fist.

And wanted to start beating Han Sen after hearing what his next words.

'Is this the feeling of annoyance?...'

Han Sen blinks and continued.

"... But what is that?..."

"..."

"... What a moron..."

"... He's dead..."

Making Yang Manli and Sung Jin-Woo facepalmed...
