"Here is my humble abode and what do you know? It seems that everyone has already arrived and the party is about to begin."
Regi's old body stepped outside of the carriage revealing himself to Yoze for the first ti since he arrived at New Swamp Town. Imdiately Yoze noticed that Regi's old body seed to have aged a bit since a few weeks ago.
His wrinkles had deepened and his steps were shakier compared to when they first t. He even began to use a walking stick to move around.
Noticing that Yoze was examining him, Regi's old body smiled at him before continuing to walk into the three-story house where the party was located. The house was covered with birthday decorations and had paintings of when Regi was younger and filled with energy.
Not only that Yoze noticed that many of the paintings had Regi as a skinny lad and always sickly pale until there was an unexpected jump to when he was no longer sick or skinny. No, he went from a weak person to a powerful martial artist whose body radiated both health and strength even through the paintings.
"Winter, Sumr, and Spring you three didn't need to make such a large cake for my birthday. I would not be able to finish all this even if you gave several months." Regi's main body said to the three puppets who were all Blood Masters.
Yoze turned to the three Blood Masters and noticed that none of them had spiritual energy aning that they were simply puppets. However, it seems that Regi's control over them was much higher compared to the puppets before since their faces were a bit stiff but not enough to make people notice it.
They even had various kinds of body types from Winter's strong and muscular body to the fat male puppet which Regi called Sumr, and the skinny male puppet which was called Spring. The mont Regi finished his sentence his three puppets stood up and helped him sit down at the table that had a truly large fiver-tiered birthday cake.
"Nonsense, we of course had to get the best cake possible for your 106th birthday," Winter said as she expertly put on the birthday boy hat on Regi's main body.
"Plus, just look at how many guests have co to this party. We should be able to finish not only this cake but even the cake that they brought along as well." Sumr said as he patted his belly before grabbing the cake in Dreyer's hand and placing it on the table.
"Co take a seat," Spring quietly muttered to himself as he grabbed a few more chairs and placed them around the table.
The display seed almost so natural that Yoze want to applaud for such good acting. Everything from the birthday boy to the family mbers was puppets yet Regi controlled everything from the background with such accuracy and control that he seed to be a great puppet master.
If this didn't show how much ti and skill Regi had done to create a masterpiece then nothing would. Even though everything was fake Yoze had to admit that the party itself was fun.
If it wasn't for the fact that Regi was out to get him by using his father, Yoze wouldn't have been so determined to kill him since his father truly saw him as a friend.
"Yoze since you are so big you should eat more to help balance everything out." Winter slapped Yoze back as she encouraged him to eat more cake.
"I currently am on a strict diet for a body cultivation thod I am training in so I can't eat too much," Yoze said as he quickly denied Winter's encouragent.
"I see, " Winter looked at Yoze with surprise before giving him a final pat on the back as support before she went to chat with the others.
"This is the third ti I was encouraged to eat more, is there sothing wrong with the food?" Yoze thought to himself as he placed the empty plate in his hand on the table.
As the party progressed, the atmosphere beca warm as everyone except Yoze grew more comfortable with each other and chatted with each other. However, at the sa ti, Yoze felt himself becoming more alert as he felt that the lack of Regi's spiritual energy throughout the party ant that sothing big was coming.
"Knock Knock knock"
Suddenly, Yoze heard a knock co from the front door which drew his attention. When he looked at the door he imdiately noticed Regi's spiritual energy behind the door with several others he didn't recognize.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
This ti the knocks on the door were more forceful and snapped the other's attention out of their conversations. Dreyer, Tiki, Jewel, and Drew turned to Regi's main body with confused looks in their eyes.
"Did you invite more guests?" Regi's main body also displayed a confused look on his face as he asked Winter.
"No, I didn't invite anyone else but let check to see who is knocking," Winter frowned as she got up from her chair and walked to the front door.
"Bang!"
Just as she was about to open the door to see who it was, the door shattered due to being slamd open by a heavy kick. Before Winter seed to co to her senses she was assaulted by the sll of blood and was covered in a blood mist.
The blood mist rapidly spread throughout the house and covered everyone under heavy pressure. The pressure was so high that Yoze saw that his father had fainted while Regi's main body pretended to faint as well.
As for Tiki and Dreyer even though they hadn't beco third-rate martial artists yet their strengthened bodies and extra large amount of spiritual energy as the support they managed to remain conscious.
Jewel on the other hand managed to resist the heavy pressure from the blood mist with no issues. If anything she seed to be as comfortable as when the blood mist wasn't there.
Seeing that Regi had finally started his plot, Yoze imdiately went to take action as he quickly stopped his father's body from collapsing to the ground and held him close.
