Almin, confused by the words, followed the gaze of the muscular woman and noticed Ruri kneeling... and breathing frantically...
Only after that mont did Almin notice soone’s absence, frantically turning his gaze in all directions. "Where the hell is that giant whale? Did he disappear? How can sothing that big disappear in the first place?!" He raged furiously.
Then, a ssage resonated in his mind. ’Fight with everything, or she’ll kill you. Don’t cower, this is your first test.’
It took Almin a while to process the information, but his instincts echoed like torture, almost begging him to flee. Driven by this urgency, he leaped with all his might to the left.
BOOM!
The black saber descended exactly where he was as if cutting through the void. A wave of dirt was lifted while a violent sound echoed everywhere.
When the dust finally settled, Langrum stood still, searching for sothing. Then, she let out a furious scream and advanced again.
"WHERE DID YOU HIDE HER, YOU BASTARD!?"
Almin felt death looming over his head and drew a spear as his arms trembled with fear. The fear of death took hold of him, but instinctively, he burst with all his Qi in desperation.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Alm and Bruno were on top of a relatively small hill nearby, observing the fight. Sitting on their shoulders was Ruri, watching everything with a mischievous smile.
’This coward idiot. Langrum is only at the first level of the Foundation Establishnt Realm, and he, at the third level, can’t even counter a single move from her.’ Alm comnted angrily.
’He... he’s not cut out for fighting like this.’ Bruno sighed wordlessly. Almin not only was a coward but had skills so poor that they elicited pity. His facade of a young master was just a mask to hide how diocre he truly was.
’How did he beco known among the young disciples and still survive until now? Did he sell himself to the elders?’ Alm spoke, completely distraught. ’He must have so hidden card.’
Then, Bruno rembered sothing. ’He used to like studying plants and reading books more than fighting... even as an adult, he never showed interest in cultivation. Maybe his talent lies in sothing specific.’
’A trash! If he can’t fight, what good is he then? Is he going to depend on external forces?’ Alm retorted.
Alm and Bruno decided to test their brother in a life-or-death battle first. They needed to know what Almin could really do; only then could they think about how to train him in the future. But... even with low expectations... it was truly bad.
’I thought about the worst... but this is worse than I thought...’ Bruno shook his head.
’That’s a terrible pun,’ Alm answered.
’I know,’ Bruno didn’t seem to mind.
It was at that mont that a giant gash opened in Almin’s chest, spraying blood everywhere. Langrum quickly understood Almin’s ridiculous defense pattern and injured him violently.
She raised her saber for the finishing blow, but Bruno and Alm sensed in Almin’s gaze that he still had sothing up his sleeve.
Almin’s eyes glead in intense red. An explosion of flas erged like a supernova, causing Langrum to take several steps back.
’That idiot!’ Alm spoke sharply, and both jumped forward quickly.
They ran a few steps and then stopped.
’What?’ Alm spoke, looking ahead. ’That was a beast core from a fire beast... how co he didn’t get burned?’
In the midst of the flas, Almin was with his lance thrust on the ground, leaning on it and breathing deeply. The wound on his chest was closed by the fire, creating a very ugly black mark; it clearly burned intentionally.
’He has an affinity with fire... even the fla of a core didn’t hurt him... interesting,’ comnted Bruno.
Alm then replied, ’What good is that shit if he can’t fight normally?’
It was clear to both of them that inside the tower, Almin had a lot of confidence because he thought no one was watching him. Surrounded by lackeys and having high cultivation compared to others, it was impossible for him to be killed.
In the next second, the flas were cut by a black saber, creating a tunnel to Almin. Langrum, with her slightly burned skin, advanced even more furiously.
All her power was concentrated in a single blow; she wanted to kill Almin and not let him reveal any more tricks. Almin had no more strength to fight back and just looked trembling at the falling black saber.
When the saber was a few inches from Almin’s head, a sudden tremor caused the saber to petrify, and Langrum’s face twisted even more in anger. Her entire body and weapon were covered in earth runes, and a subtle ntal aura sealed all her Qi and movents.
"You finally showed up, you bastard!" She shouted.
"Sorry, sister, that was a mistake." Ruri’s gentle words sounded, making Langrum turn to her on Bruno’s shoulder.
"I called you and said I needed help. But... it wasn’t that kind of help..." Ruri continued slowly, with tears in her eyes, making Langrum completely lose composure.
Alm and Bruno asked Ruri to send a ssage to Langrum. They used so of Almin’s abyss crystals for this; the sect had a paid ssaging chanism for anyone inside a city.
Ruri knew where Langrum was in the city they were in before, so she asked for help. Of course, her words were in a completely different tone, attracting Langrum, who ca running furiously.
Langrum made a strange face... what was that scene when she arrived and saw Ruri kneeling? Ruri simply made an excuse, saying that her master made her train with her new sword while doing other activities.
Ruri’s words, "Master was busy," and the aningful look made Langrum understand a hidden ssage, or she created it in her mind. Being subtly manipulated by that innocent face.
"Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, I ca to collect my favor. I need a pack mule to complete the group and carry out so missions." Alm spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"WHAT?!" Langrum shouted.
"Don’t get worked up. I didn’t want a pack mule to protect. If you weren’t even stronger than my pet, how could I accept you?" Alm replied calmly. Almin clenched his fists, completely upset.
The hand holding the black saber trembled violently, but Langrum didn’t dare to attack. Ruri called her, so there must be sothing or an opportunity to kill this whale. She wasn’t strong enough to kill him... so she just had to be patient and wait for an opportunity.
Alm then laughed at that woman holding back her anger. "So much unwillingness. I don’t rember doing anything to deserve this; I’m starting to think that maybe this is actually love. Don’t get the wrong idea, I’m a one-woman man."
Langrum then exploded. "A GROTESQUE WHALE LIKE YOU? IT MAKES SICK JUST TO THINK ABOUT. DON’T BE RIDICULOUS."
Ruri then waved and murmured. "Hm... master is a bit chubby... but! He’s cute."
Alm and Bruno glanced before thinking to themselves. ’How co we clearly rember her saying we were ugly before?’
Almin imdiately saw a chance to get back at ’Goku.’ "He’s a wild beast! You have no idea of the bloody scene in his room with this poor little girl. He’s a shaless fatso!"
