Chapter 2 : hitman
Yún ( cloud village )
West , training forest
A cold sweat started to drip from jin wei and yun yu's forehead . Making a deal with sun was like selling your soul to a devil.
For those two , sun's smile was like grin of a devil whispering them for scheming.
After hesitating for moment , jin asked " a… can you , can you go to a more specific details " yun nodded in agreement
Sun smiled widely as he explained " it's very simple . This time deal is to catch a silver fox for me. See it's so easy-peasy . You two are already near becoming a blenders while I am only a helpless kid with no powers on my hand. If i were to go hunt silver fox , wouldn't I be asking for my death ? "
After sun explained them about their deal , both of them sighed in relief. They felt as if a heavy weight has been removed from their chest.
" if it's only about hunting a silver fox than we are more than happy to do it. Consider it done " yun said .
" oh and one thing , I need the silver fox until evening. If you can't bring me one until evening , than consider our deal voided " with that sun left with his huge smile.
After he left , jin wiped his sweat from his forehead and said " that… that smile creeps me a lot .enough to chill my bones "
A cold breeze blew and the duo just looked at each others while feeling somewhat confuse. After a while later , both of them sighed and left training ground and went for hunting.
…..
It was date 120 while the month was 3 , it was heavy raining on the mountain side.
Shān ( mountain village )
Month 3 was season of rain in mountain side while it was summer and autumn and so on other side because of phenomenon created by nature energy.
The village was huge enough to be called city but it wasn't. Almost covering 2 kilometer area or more than that , the village was surrounded by forest and rivers along with huge landscape and hills.it was very beautiful because of green forest , Shān ( mountain village ) wasn't located on the part of snow side mountain so it wasn't that cold .
But the residence living in Shān village were almost everyone an ice blender . A practitioner that can manipulate and blend ice at their will.
Blenders are called to those that has learned energy or could call those that has opened their chakras that are in their bodies.
The village was covered in little fogs at some places and it was heavily raining , wearing huge hat enough to protect them from rain , some people were running outside the street.
The park was empty while the busy street were not that busy anymore unlike other season.
People prefer to live in their house at a time like this. Coldness were mixed with those breeze , and the ground was blanketed by water.
Beneath a huge parasol like green tree , a small kid wearing sky blue colour clothes that a practitioner from kendo class wears , he was carrying three swords , one each on his left and right waist while one on behind his back. But it was right behind the same level as his waist ( a little above his butt ). They were 4 feet long and sharp , their sheath were coloured in white making them shine like a light even in this chaotic rain that was very ferocious.
His both legs placed under his body , closed eyes and his right palm placed on his left palm. He was handsome and looked elegant , a tranquil aura was flowing around him .
His black hair and his dress were completely soaked in rain , despite the chaotic atmosphere , his mind was in peace. It was as if no one can shake his will power.
Suddenly from near him , on the ground , a 4 feet round shadow appeared . From the shadow , like a demon awaking from his slumber , a person's silhouette raised from inside and appeared out. The figure belong to a very beautiful women with otherworldly charm . It was as if her beauty had transcended from the mortal world and achieved immortal beauty that never dies. Her body was slender and seductive with mature aura , long silver hair with her sultry appearance . Snow white and soft skin with long refined jade legs , she wore a long dark cloak and her face was hidden inside the hood and her black mask.
Her mask was dark and had a butter fly carved on it , the butterfly gave the vibe of a demonic and sinster feeling. Despite hiding her face behind her mask , anyone could tell that behind that mask is a hidden heaven .

But looks can decisive people , despite having immortal beauty , her voice was calm and cold making other feel the snow mountain has confine them with both mind and soul.
The beauty didn't waste the time and said " master ancient has gave you the task to hunt this target " with that she threw a scroll toward the boy that was meditating under the tree.
Catching the scroll with his left hand , the kid slowly opened his eyes and opened it. There was a photo of an old man . The old man looked old and had winkles all over his face that seem to be left by the river of time.
The man in photo wore a hay hat , when the kid saw the old man's photo , he turned to look at the beautiful fairy like lady in front.
The lady explained " Wǎn ( night village ) , Ekisupāto ( expert ). You will have to visit Wǎn ( night village ). His name is sora yami and elder of the Wǎn village . He is also from yami family . He is from a family and not clan the target is not that hard to be killed. And remember your target is Ekisupāto ( expert ) blender with earth element and steel element. If you fail the mission than you may lose your life "
The kid asked in confusion " can I ask you something , if you don't mind than ? " the lady replied " you may "
The kid calmly asked " tell me this , the way you refer your master is like saying name of some kind of strong expert , so I mean if your master is that strong than why don't he kill this old man by himself ? And also you are also stronger than me . I mean I am only a pseudo Ekisupāto blender and maybe you are already a Shujin ( master ) or above. So why don't you or your master do it ? "
Looking at the kid , the lady frowned slightly. She said " you don't have to know about the inner details and only focus in your profession. If it wasn't for master ancient than you would have been that weak child from before . It's all thanks to master ancient that you are what you are today. The snow demon , this identity is given to you by master ancient. So do as he say and just act normal , don't try to go against master ancient .
You may think that you can go against master ancient once you are strong but power isn't everything in this world. So just mind your own business " with that she took out something from her pocket and threw it toward the kid. The kid caught it with his right hand and saw a small ring. The ring was round and was made of ordinary metal , more than the metal it had nothing .
But once the kid put the ring on his right hand index finger, he found out that his energy in his body has stopped flowing but when he channel the energy in his body , the energy wasn't sealed or blocked. It was only concealed , meaning his energy was hidden and not that many people would think that he was a blender.
He was surprised first but he quickly hid his surprised and looked at the lady.
" concealment ring , ordinary looking ring but with special ability . Not even Shujin blenders would be able to feel your energy and you will only be an ordinary person with no special qualification for blenders "
The kid nodded and looked at the ring. After that the lady started to shank in her shadow and the shadow started to move toward the village gate.
After the shadow left , the kid stood up. The kid was known as one of the hitman in the word , he was known as snow demon . His real name was kai ying from ying family of Wǎn village.
His history has his own story so let's not talk about it , he was only 7 this year and was already a powerful pseudo Ekisupāto blender that has opened his seven chakras in his body already. His birth element is ice element but he has already evolved his ice element into snow element . If ice can freeze the entire island than snow element has enough power to freeze an entire country .
He stood up and straighten his body straight as he closed his eyes while facing sky. The rain kept on raining while the snow demon kept on standing like a statue " like a ice , my heart has frozen. Like a snow my heart has scatter ." He didn't do anything as he just stood there.
Desert land
The land was isolated , with nothing but only sands and empty void. Even in 500 kilometer range , nothing could be seen. But on this land , there were two people walking around. They were wearing the uniform from Dominētā organisation. The man had an average looks yet attractive appearance. He was tall and had perfect built. His name was yama.
While another was a beautiful girl with short height ( 5 ft ) , blue short hairs and had her own unique charm. Her name was divine.
" this land is desolated for 20 years after the war between two villages " divine said with her emotionless voice just like her emotionless face.
" of course , the war was too huge for a small villages to survive " yama replied while laughing in a sadistic way.
" can you feel the function of an energy in the air ? " divine asked while feeling some tiny waves of energies in the air.
" of course I can. " yama laughed as he said " let's search for the source for now " divine nodded as she started running .
Watching her run , yama was left stupefied. He began to cry out loud" hey , hey , stop there . At least wait for me….. hey please . I know you are faster than me because you have mastered the root chakra to another level . So please stop there… you bitch, instead of slowing down you are using your full speed. Fuck you witch " after that he also began to run toward her but alas he was slow and see was faster than him.
After arriving at some destination , divine stopped as she looked around and said " the energy function seem to be too strong in this place compare to other "
"Huff , huff " after yama arrived next to her , he started breathing loud . He was exhausted as he said " even if I am a Shujin blenders , you know right I get tired because I don't have same level stamina as you. "
He kept on blabbing while divine didn't cared about him and said " take out the Shīringusukurōru ( Sealing scroll ) and use Shīringuāto ( Sealing art ) on the energy "
Yama scratches his head while saying " haha.. you know .. you know " divine looked at him with expressionless face and asked " yes , what ? " Yama forced a smile while saying ' I , I "
" yes , you what ? "
" I , you know right , few days ago I had a bet in gambling against rain ?"
"Hm… so ? "
" haha… " yama laughed while retreating few step back in secretly. This was noticed by divine as she asked " what are you hiding from me ? "
Gulp*
Yama showed his white teeth as he gathered enough courage to confess truth " I , I lost the bet , I lost the gambling and I lost the Shīringusukurōru "
Whoosh~
"………." A cold breeze blew pass near by them and a silence took place.
