Chapter 380: The Calm
Ning reappeared high in the air, still holding on to Jha’Akim. He had confirmed with the system that exploding himself would definitely kill him, and that was all Ning needed to hear.
Jha’Akim’s hand was still inside of Ning’s stomach, but it didn’t matter anymore. In fact, Ning pulled on his hand and brought himself closer to Jha’Akim.
“What are you doing?” Jha’Akim asked with fear in his eyes for the first time since Ning had met him.
“I’m killing you,” Ning said.
“No, you ca—”
BOOM
A deafening explosion rang out high in the atmosphere, above the clouds. The shockwave parted the clouds very clearly and brought enough light through it to make people think that there was a second sun in the sky.
People from hundreds and thousands of kilometers away heard the explosion and felt the shockwave. The people from Klavia, especially Hyesi’s family immediately rushed towards the location, knowing that their ancestor had left for there a while ago.
Hyesi and the 3 beasts were on the ground looking at the bright explosion, wondering what had happened to Ning.
“Inikaka!” Hyesi called him. He even sent a message to him, but they got no response at all. It was as if he had disappeared.
“No!” Hyesi had a very fierce sense of Deja Vu as he remembered something similar happening last time. During that time, his Inikaka had disappeared for many years and only returned afterward.
He didn’t want that.
“Inikaka!” he started crying out again, giving no attention to either of his broken arms that weren’t healing at all.
Suddenly, he felt something on his shoulder. He turned and saw a black wing on top of it. “He’s fine, we can still sense him up there,” Night said.
Blue and Aegis nodded when they heard that.
“Is he really?” Hyesi asked.
“I’m fine, Hyesi,” Ning sent a message. “It’s just this headache I have is really annoying.”
“Oh, thank the sun he’s okay,” Hyesi finally felt relieved.
Suddenly, something appeared in front of Hyesi and a young body appeared, that looked exactly the same as the very first body he had seen being created all those many years ago.
“Inikaka?” he asked.
“Yes,” Ning said as he took over his new body. “How does my new body look? You guys never got to see it, right?”
“It looks good, Inikaka,” Hyesi said.
Soon, Hyesi’s son and grandsons all appeared in the vicinity one by one and started worrying about him when they saw the state of his hands.
“Grandfather, Are you okay?” Hijaka asked.
“This is nothing,” he said to them. “You should see the other guy. Oh, I guess you won’t be able to anymore, haha.”
“Ah, right,” Ning thought and brought out a pill. “Take this. It doesn’t work that well on someone in your realm but it should at least help a little.”
Hyesi nodded and ate the pill. Immediately, his wounded arms started to heal and looked a lot better. His bones were still broken, but with his healing, they should be able to heal by themselves in just a few days or weeks.
Ning disappeared and reappeared a few seconds later. When he did, he had Anya and Ely with him.
“Senior Hyesi, are you alright?” Anya asked worriedly. She walked up and looked at his wound before bringing out a pill herself.
“It’s fine. Inikaka already gave me a pill,” he said.
“Oh, then I guess this won’t be very useful,” she said.
“Are you alright? How are you both feeling?” Ely asked them both.
“I’m perfectly fine, miss Ely. You don’t have to worry about me,” Hyesi said.
“I have a headache, but it should go away in just a few hours… or maybe not?” Ning said. “I forgot that my mental strength had now dropped quite a lot. It’s not as good as what I had with my other body.”
“You should be fine soon,” Ely said.
“Alright, let me take Hyesi back. He needs to rest now. Afterward, I should go and let those beasts know that their threat is gon—”
“YOU THINK YOU CAN KILL ME?!”
A loud voice came from up in the sky. Ning looked in the direction the voice came from and barely saw a smidge flying high in the air.
However, the chilling voice was enough to give the person away.
“No…” he said silently. “How is he alive?” he couldn’t help worry wonder in worry. System had clearly told him that he didn’t have any chance of survival if Ning exploded himself, so why was he back.
“Ning, what’s going on?” Ely asked.
“I don’t know, let me ask the system,” Ning said.
“YOU WILL DIE NOW,” Jha’Akim shouted from high up top. The aura that came flooding down was enough to kill any mortal. Fortunately, both Ely and Anya stood in front of Ning, protecting him.
“System, why is he not dead?” Ning demanded an answer. This was the first time he had been given misinformation from the system and it was going to cost him a lot.
“YOU MADE ME USE MY ‘DEATH REJECTION’ SKILL, FOR THAT YOU WILL ALL DIE NOW!” Jha’Akim raged in the air and immediately came flying down at super speed to kill Ning and the others.
Suddenly, a bunch of metal objects flew in the air. Some turned into shields, some into weapons. Some of the remaining ones turned into some very unorthodox shape and its work could only be known after it was used.
At the same time, a pure cultivation aura appeared from the side quickly rising up high. A sword appeared from nowhere as well and was readily wielded right there.
“Sit back and rest, Ning. We’ll take it from here,” Ely said.
“Don’t worry, master. I won’t let him hurt you,” Anya said.
