chapter 1001: the white haired demon (part 2)



the sight that impress and krynic witnessed was extremely familiar to them both because something like this had also happened at the martial arts tournament. it was something that few high-level warriors experienced in their lives.

beasts were, in many ways, more sensitive than humans when it came to other senses. their simple-minded nature gave them top-tier survival instincts. of course, in some cases, they would forgo these instincts and try to test the limits one way or another.

in this case, though, the beast was listening to these instincts. if it attacked the person in front of it, its life would come to an end. it realized the mistake it was making and chose to back up.

this had also occurred at the martial arts tournament, but everyone was unsure of the reason or why. now, impress had an inkling that the same person was responsible.

"how could that be? even the basic beasts on this island are enough to give middle-stage warriors trouble. for one to cower in fear like this-that can't be what's happening, right?" krynic asked.

this was exactly what impress thought had occurred, and she was starting to think they were making a big mistake by being here right now, close to this individual. they needed a lot more than just the two of them.

'we might need all of the elders together to take on this man.' impress thought, and wondered if even that would be enough.

raze was looking ahead at the beast, seeing that it had backed away, no longer baring its teeth, but it wasn't running either.

"you nearly made a mistake," raze commented. "but i'm sure your rash actions on others would have cost many of them their lives. maybe, even if i were still the man i was before, you would've caused a hefty wound on me. for that, you will have to be punished."

although he had learned this beforehand, he found it hard to believe. he knew of spells and items that could do such things, but even then, there was a limit to how much magic could be stopped.

now, as a six-star mage, for his magic to still be stopped was incredibly impressive, especially for it to have such a wide range.

on top of that, there were other issues. he couldn't switch out his weapons, so he only had the enchanted ghost blade. and then there were the enchantments themselves.

his ghost blade didn't glow orange when he placed his demonic qi in the weapon. all the effects of the weapon were gone as well.

still, there were some things he had brought with him, one of them being a pouch of different qi pills. he wasn't so sure these wouldn't work, since they needed to be consumed, but he didn't want to test them out right now to see whether they worked or not.

he imagined taking a load of cursed qi pills only to feel their effects once he left the island.

'the beasts on this island aren't too hard. are they level-three beasts?' raze wondered. 'i guess this isn't like the other dimensions i've been in. i thought they would be more difficult.'

it wasn't just raze who thought this as well.

"maybe the beast wasn't as strong as we thought, and that was just a regular monkey?" krynic said. "i still couldn't feel his qi."

although krynic still wanted to fight, the same couldn't be said for impress, who was already shuffling her feet back.

"you guys over there! you've been watching for a while now... either come out and attack me or tell me who you are!" raze demanded.
