Hated mate Chapter 18
Assea moved at full speed alongside the wall. Lucinda inside it was only looking at the path in front of him, nothing else was worth his attention. Some of the snakes in the pack started to hiss in his direction as if it was some kind of entertainment. Then, when he had crossed a bit less than fifty meters, the first blow arrived. What Lucinda initially felt was an incredible pressure that flung her into the wall. Then, the pain came. Assea's body was the first line of defense and was shredded into pieces almost immediately! Lucinda forced its body to reconstruct but it only delayed the impact on his body for a moment as Assea was wrecked again in just an instant. She slammed into the wall and many cuts appeared on her skin but, before she suffered any serious injury, she summoned Assea a third time to endure the rest of the attack. Its body was destroyed till only a silhouette remained but the first blow was successfully blocked! A huge amount of mental energy was expended b
Hated mate Chapter 19
Aldophus was in a torture room below the guards' building, tied to the metal table. A black and smelly liquid came out from his body as he absorbed "Breath" in the point where his acupoints once were. Aldophus had already predicted that situation so he was calm during the process even though some scream was still yelled from time to time. The figure of the lightening wolf was hidden under the clothes on his lower body and was waiting patiently for the process to be over. A huge amount of "Breath" was being accumulated in Aldophus's body, strengthening and refining it. The process lasted for about ten minutes before he could finally form the new acupoints. These acupoints were crystalline and seemed incredibly sturdy. They absorbed "Breath" at an unimaginable speed and Aldophus felt an immense surge of power coming from his body. He nodded to the Vice sect-master that was at his side and he undid the bindings to set Aldophus free. A smile was on the Vice sect-master's face as h
Hated mate Chapter 20
The Vice sect-master wasn't considering on the issue, he felt that this wouldn't be posing a problem for his able disciple. He thought about the one month of hellish torture that Aldophus and been through, all day with no plans of resting as, he had been infusing Aldophus's seven Meridians with his lightening. The Vice sect-master shuddered as he remembered the crazed look in his disciples eyes. "One whole month of such torture and the foolish kids thinking of getting more power, I have to train this one carefully as I don't even know how he'll end up". Hmm!!! "I wonder how the others are faring. With Old Lady Chen's previous behavior I'm guessing her new disciple is probably in hell right now". Pheww!!! The Vice sect-master exhaled and began to walk towards his private chambers with a pensive look on his face......... Roarr!!!! "Not enough, move faster" Argh! ' I'm moving as fast as I can' "You're not as fast as you think" Hmm!!! A bout' of words were being exchang

Good now that that's been covered, let's talk about you, how have you been feeling? Although I feel personally it wasn't much of a hassle to you I'd still like to hear your side of the story... Umm!. "Don't worry feel free kid;Lady Chen spoke to put Lucinda at ease". And so Lucinda began to give a detailed explanation on her adventure, Lady Chen listened with rapt attention as she didn't want to miss out even the tiniest details. Pheww!! That's all that happened, Lucinda heaved a sigh as she had finished telling her story. "That's fine, as long as you're alright, this Master of your's is at ease. Come let's go and meet the rest of the Sect". Lady Chen spoke as she carried Lucinda with her towards the center of the sect. The Vice sect-master was also bringing Aldophus there, same went for the other top elder's who had picked up a hidden but talented individual......."Can you believe it? They really took up personal disciples" "I know right even the Vice sect-master was no

Arhh!!! They clashed and the whole barrier trembled, the Sect Master struck down dispelling the force of their attacks. After that had been done everything returned back to normal... This battle would be continued on a later. Lady Chen began to explain the rules of the sect to all the young intakes. "You will also be examined every year in those courses and, if the results won't be satisfying, you will be requested to abandon that subject. You will still be able to attend it but it will cost you some Credits." Lady Chen stopped speaking for a moment before resuming in her explanation. "You must also complete a mission for the Sect every two months. There is a large board on the right side of the river where you can find all the tasks that you can complete. Being successful in a mission will grant you merit points that you can exchange for techniques, materials, or weapons. These services will be open for you after you undergo the test of your nature." "Lastly, any Elder can ch

More lessons followed in the next days.There was the alchemy course held by Wanda Hamman, the real battle course held by Bruce Nairti, and then courses about the general history of cultivators and magical beasts.Lucinda was happy to discover that her chances of becoming an alchemist weren't that bad.She had a strong mind and a good attitude at repetitive works, the only problem was her cold nature that contrasted with the warmth needed to take care of useful plants.However, during Bruce's lesson, she shined like no one else."It's a pity that I already have a student as a disciple and he requires all my attention. Otherwise, I could have become your master right away."Those were Bruce's words after Lucinda didn't lose any one versus one fight in his class.'His student is called Daniel and it seems that he is some sort of celebrity around here. Apparently, he had the previous record of the hunting tests but I broke it. I've probably made an enemy out of him already if he is like

Lucinda opened her eyes.Her image reflected on the floor made of mirrors slowly brought her back to reality.In the eyes of her reflection, the brightness of the stars in the sky shined like it had become a part of it.'So, this is who I am.'She had a deeper understanding of her true nature after the test.'An endless search for a higher power. It seems that even Heaven can't suppress my ambition.'She raised her gaze to look at the sky.Only the clear ceiling of the building was visible but Sara's eyes seemed to look through it.I was suppressed and forged my way to freedom. I shall not be bound by human's law nor by Heaven's will.'A list appeared in his sea of consciousness which had the names of the courses and her attitude on them pictured on it.'Attunement with the "Breath", highly incompatible, I had already guessed that much.'She attentively read the list.She discovered that if she focused on certain courses, an explanation for the judgment of the test would appear.'My n

Lucinda entered the building and sat on one of the farthest seats from the teacher's desk.Megan was already there waiting for all the students to gather.Yaoyao arrived right after and sat next to her."Why didn't you join Daniel?"Lucinda replied in a calm tone."Because I had a lesson.""But isn't he the most famous person in the academy?"Lucinda shrugged her shoulders."Should I care?""Well, face is really important to nobles. There is a high chance that his group will retaliate."Lucinda shrugged her shoulders again and focused on Megan.The course went on for a few hours with the Professor explaining the most common usage of the various centers of power.After that, Lucinda went back to her lodging and found out that Yaoyao's warning was on point.Two male students were standing in front of her accommodation with smirks on their faces."Do you think that breaking Lord Daniel's record gives you the right to ignore him?"The other continued."Lord Daniel is too kind and doesn't

Peak of the third rank of the body at the age of nineteen and a half!That was an incredible feat!Most of it though was due to the Forging of the Seven Hells in which Lucinda had trained in his childhood.Unorthodox techniques had a faster pace of training but required for the cultivator to undergo risky procedures.The Forging of the Seven Hells had endangered Lucinda's life many times, it was no wonder that he could reach the peak of the third rank at such a young age.'Now, I need to store "Breath" through my whole body.'A lot of energy was required for the reconstruction of the body and, of course, the best source of energy of that world was the marvelous "Breath".Lucinda resumed her cultivation, she had to be sure that her body was filled with "Breath" before she attempted in the reconstruction.One week passed uneventfully, with Lucinda focusing each night concentrating on the Yin body and using the rest of the day to sleep.Rest was necessary during that process, the body ne

Lucinda's life became quite engaging. She would still maintain her usual training routine most of the time but, at specific intervals, her presence was requested in Kurt's hunting group to organize and plan their next mission. They would usually hunt twice a month and only in danger zones where they were sure that the number of rank 4 magical beasts was not too high. Lucinda was a burden for them after all, they couldn't risk being ganged up by several strong creatures. That's why their focus was on the lone packs in specific areas, they had to be sure that nothing unexpected could happen. It had to be said though that Lucinda wasn't completely useless. The group of hunters soon discovered that, during the planning phase, her insights on the behavior of the magical beasts were extremely valuable, so much that Ada would often ask for her opinion. There was a time when they had to face two packs of Hellish hounds both led by a rank 4 magical beast. Lucinda suggested for the two s

Another wave of attacks crashed on the Shrinking elephant once it was on the ground, when dealing with a rank 4 creature, it was better not to take any chance.The magical beast was laying on the ground, its skin was torn everywhere and its gray flesh sprouted blood on the terrain.Newton and Kurt hit repeatedly its head for a while before they stopped seeing that life was abandoning it."Lucinda, it's safe now!"Kurt shouted seeing that the elephant was about to die.Lucinda didn't hesitate and ran at full speed toward the battlefield.She had come prepared: she was wearing a black robe that featured long and large sleeves that completely hid her hands.That allowed her to perform the Blood drain spell as she ran without being noticed by the others in her group."Turn."Lucinda ordered once he arrived next to Kurt.Snorts could be heard coming from some of the hunters, yet, under Kurt's admonishing gaze, they all turned and left Lucinda alone with the beast.Only when he was sure tha

Recognizing the danger before it was too late was one of the key aspects of survival.Hunters generally relied on reports and on their senses to understand if an area was too dangerous or if a pack had rank 4 magical beasts among them.That's why many of them just ignored the study of traces or weren't adept in that field, the senses of a cultivator were generally enough to recognize beings of such might.Yet, having more information could only be considered an advantage, no matter how small it was."This is indeed surprising, I had to hunt in this area for a month before becoming able to recognize the rank of those beasts by their footprints. The academy is worthy of its fame."Ada praised before continuing with her questions."And, what do you think will it be the best approach against them?"Lucinda's answer came immediately."In their reduced size, they are too dangerous because they can maintain the same strength behind each attack while removing the weakness of their huge frame.

In the main hall of the Hunter's guild, a dozen cultivators were sitting around Lucinda's.Some of them were shouting and pointing at him, others were angrily drinking from their jugs, it didn't seem that the conversation was peaceful."No, I won't stop. No, I don't care if you can't gain Credits due to my behavior. If you can't match my hunting speed, you should just consider changing your profession. Is this clear enough for you?"Lucinda said calmly.She had sold the magical beasts' corpses and then joined the other hunters on their table.Yet, as soon as the conversation started, she was asked to slow her killing of rank 3 magical beasts.It was obvious that there had been a lot of complaints after her initial refusal for the conversation to reach that point."Impudent! We have families here in the capital! We have maintained ourselves for decades hunting magical beasts! I won't accept that a new hunter, that gained his entry with the help of the Royals, will ruin my job!"Many hu

Lucinda's biggest issue in using the Blood drain spell to boost her body's strength was that she could only use rank 3 magical beasts in the process.Rank 4 creatures gave more nourishment but she simply didn't have the power to fight them.What happened with Abel was a fluke, his physical strength was in the third rank and he was also injured, making him the perfect target for Lucinda's spells.However, magical beasts had a far stronger body than cultivators, Lucinda didn't have the confidence to beat the latter let alone the beasts.'I guess, I'll be forced to strive for quantity over quality.'Lucinda thought.She was inspecting the various boards listing the hunting zones in the Hunter's guild.'They are quite crowded, as expected.'She sighed internally as she inspected the low-danger areas featuring large numbers of rank 3 beasts.'Basically, all the hunters that can't join parties hunting rank 4 creatures are here.'There were a lot of names next to those zones, Lucinda guessed

Eliminating the unstable parts would reduce the effective power of the item but it made possible for the forging to continue.Lucinda's attention was completely on the internal composition of his creation.Every time she saw signs of instability, she would manipulate that specific part to separate from the core.Little by little, the item in her hands reached the length of a Moon needle.Yet, the forging was not complete.The toxic smoke continued to corrode the bone, forcing Lucinda to cut even more pieces from it.From the size of a needle to the one of a small shard.From a shard to a fingernail.From a fingernail to nothing.The item completely turned into dust, the forging had failed.However, Lucinda was excited.'Finally, it didn't explode! This is the right method to forge with my current materials, I just have to accept that I can't create a complete weapon while I have a rank 3 body.'What she was aiming for with those processes was to gather experience toward what would eve

On one side, there were the nobles that wanted more power and wanted to dethrone the Elbas family.They tried to probe a reaction from the Royals to understand their line of rule and sent one of the heirs of a large-size noble family for the mission.One the other one, there were the Royals that wanted to maintain control over their subjects.They could not personally attack Samuel's group because doing that would lead to a public uproar but they also wanted to limit the growth of the other noble families.That's why they used the criminals that they were gathering for the creation of a hidden army.In a world where birthright decided most of your future, there was an overabundance of individuals that broke the rules in order to become stronger.Those individuals were under the control of Lady Chen's' branch of the Royal family.Lucinda clearly understood why the Royals needed to create such an army.'There are too many noble families. No matter how strong they are or for how long the

'It's over.'Lucinda heaved a sigh and looked around her.The signs of the battle were clearly shown on the terrain.Large red puddles covered the ground and corpses filled the environment.The mountain path had been ruined, holes and marks were everywhere on the terrain, normal carriages could not cross that road anymore.'I should first gather all the valuable things and then rest. Even with a rank 2 dantian, I'm almost out of "Breath".'Lucinda went to every corpse on the ground and searched for storage devices or valuable items.The soldiers of the Calhoun's family had no space-rings and their weapons could only be sold for pieces of gold so he simply ignored them.By selling one Obsidian Credit, one could obtain a large amount of gold, that currency had completely lost any value in Lucinda's eyes.The only exceptions in that group were Abel and Samuel from whom Lucinda obtained three space-rings.As for the cultivators recruited by the Royal family, their situations were poor.Mo
