Sin tapped forward blinking into a crowd of enemies, a series of sword lights, klangs and klings resounded out. Sin combined the Water and Sky paths, freezing the ground underneath his foot. This served to boost his lowered speed, and to debilitate the surrounding enemies. Sin skated around like a professional ice skater, bodies were dropping continuously and slowly creating a crimson world of ice.
While skating around, Sin was buying himself time to secretly attach a steel wire to Kaiser. Sin sped towards the highest pinnacle of his world of ice, Sin leaped falling backwards bobbing in and out of the oncoming attacks from behind. Letting his body free fall downwards over 70 kilometres an hour, Sin kicked his right leg out and then began making circular motions with it. The viewing members watching this started to laugh loudly.
"Look at this comedian over here boys! He's finally cramping up."
Kaiser however, completely destroyed that person's joke. Kaiser accelerated to an insane speed and quickly became a miniature twister. The surrounding 20 enemies had been sliced in half from the waist down without failure.
Alaris had returned with her mom and various loyal warriors. After they arrived at the scene to see a giant crimson ice sculptor, they stared in shock but also marvelled at the detail put into it. The Ice sculptor was of a man slashing through thunder clouds, above the clouds was a gate that was half opened.
Sin sensed the arrival of 5,000 dedicated warriors, and 10 generals each general that would roughly be able to handle him at his peak before becoming a cripple. Sin nodded his head internally at this lineup, despite the short amount of time. The Fairy Clan was still very capable, and could've been better prepared for Sins next plans if given more time.
"Listen up all of you, I am known as Raizen. I will be making my grand debut in the Fairies Clan tonight, I would like to offer all who are interested front row seats."
Alaris' mom came forward as she politely bowed towards Sin.
"Hello Sword Master Raizen, I am known as Acacia, the current matriarch of the Fairy Clan. I am sorry you have to be involved with this mess since arriving here. Our clan has traitors which compromised us to the Black Rock Organization."
Sin nodded back. "I am sure despite it being a rather short reunion, your daughter has filled you in with all the details of our journey, and the other news?"
Acacia's look was both stern and sad. "That is still hard to accept. But the timing here would be too coincidental wouldn't you think?"
Sin pushed the daggers out from his back, after rotating his shoulders multiple times and loosening his arms up. Sin declared loudly.
"To get rid of the pests in your garden, you must uproot the weeds from their roots. Do you follow me Matriarch Acacia?"
Acacia had an undesirable look on her face. Before she was about to comment further, Alaris walked towards Sin and got right to the point.
"5,000 Warriors and 10 Generals, what is your given estimation of deaths compared to your percentage?"
Sin took a thoughtful look for many seconds, after calculating the differences from the 'common' fairies to the Black Rock Organization members he just killed. Sin had shot out his answer.
"125 deaths minimum to uproot the weeds."
All of them present had looks of disbelief on their faces. The Black Rock Organization had over 55,000 personnel, yet Sin was full of confidence without any form of cockiness.
"Actions speak louder than words do they not? So let me show you the impossible become possible before your very eyes."
Alaris looked back at Acacia, they made direct eye contact which contained everything needed to be said between the two.
"Well then Raizen you may show us a spectacular show. Listen up all of you are under direct orders from Raizen, his commands are my commands! If any of you dare to fuck around, I will be the one to relinquish you of any good future."
"Yes young matriarch!" All the Warriors and Generals behind saluted respectfully.
Sin leaped down the Ice sculptor and walked towards Alaris and Acacia. "Provide me the clear directions towards the Black Rock Organization. I will set out to erase these parasites and return with fortune.
After Sin had been given crystal clear instructions he set out.
Acacia asked Alaris something that's been on her mind. "Raizen isn't his real name is it? You look at him in complete and utter infatuation."
Alaris looked Acacia in the eyes and said. "Would you believe me if I said, Grand Warrior Sin of Desolate Kingdom was the very Raizen standing before you?"
Acacia was gobsmacked; she struggled to contain her overwhelming shock. "But Grand Warrior Sin was technically a vegetable after sacrificing his cultivation."
Alaris eyes became slightly wet at the edges. "He was a vegetable until I awoke his soul. I found his lifeless body at sea while coming back from our voyage. I guess Grand Warrior Sin was used to having his injured body filled with Nature Qi, his soul temporarily woke up and he mistook me as his wife Merala. After that he began his process of recovery, but his cultivation is still as it was 6 months ago, crippled."
-----------------------------------
Sin and the Fairy Clans Warriors made their way running full speed towards the Black Rock Organization, Sin handed out various holographic devices while ordering aloud behind him.
"I want all of you to study these techniques in pairs, I want you to understand the concept of them. Your main focus of learning right now is White Nebula, the rest can be saved for another time. After you have learned White Nebula, I want you all to learn how to combine your Mana from multiple bodies, and then transfer it to someone out of your own body. If you all can learn this in the next 3 hours, the death count will be less than I accounted for; however, if you cannot, many who are accompanying will die tonight!"
During their travel, Sin went over to the Commanders. Sin handed out multiple traps, poisons and formations to them. After explaining to the Commanders what their use is, Sin had them distribute them to fully trained assassins, along with a map with many x's drawn on it for major spots. Sin also had them relay to look for their reserve units. Tonight was going to be a full clean out, nothing was going to be left behind, and no Black Rock Organization member was going to survive tonight.
Three hours passed by, surprisingly each and every single one of the Fairies learned what Sin had asked of them. As beings who are magically tuned, it would be a disgrace if they couldn't learn the concepts of Mystic Sorcery. While they do not have the Mystic Seed foundation like Sin does, their own magical talents would bring future inspirations to Sin for his own Mystic Sorcery.
Sin pointed out a man, and said to him. "You are to follow my very being, without my instruction you are not allowed to let go of my hand, or stop your flow of Mana into my body for me to use.
After they arrived at their destination outside the Black Rock Organizations fortress, Sin had all the warriors take 30 minutes to recharge themselves. During this period of time Sin unsheathed Kaiser, storing up all his Sword Qi, Emperor and Conquerors Aura. After Sin had reached the peak of what he could control, he called over one man and women.
"Gather your Mana and blast it into my back, send me directly above the Black Rock Organizations fortress. The moment after I give them my welcoming gift, send your assassins the signals to ignite their bombs, traps and so forth. As for the rest of you, separate into groups of 1,250 advance from north, east, south, and west at the same time to make a bird cage around the escape routes."
After the Mana of the two people blasted Sin forward, he equipped his Midnight Reaper mask and ignited his Tier 6 Midnight Glory Sacred Flame. Sin slashed Kaiser downwards, a massive Sword Qi flame column shot out sounding like a clap of thunder. The earth rumbled when Sins attack sliced the Black Rock Organization fortress in half.
Sin controlled his Sacred Flame to claim lives, but not devour the buildings. There was japtem to be claimed, and Sin would be damned if he wasted a single thing from this raid!
Thirty figures shot out into the night sky appearing before Sin. After sensing their arrival, Sin put on his most sincere and apologetic look he could muster.
"Fellas is that your stronghold I just attacked? I must apologize in advance, if you want to name your price I will pay whatever you want."
The leader of the group furiously stared at Sin. "You fucking dare to act like you didn't do it on purpose?"
Sin started throwing out multiple pouches of gold coins. "There between those pouches, you have 2,575,000 Gold coins, is that not enough to satisfy you?"
The peoples eyes shun with greed, but then they felt the surrounding area compress and the lack of oxygen. After they came back to their senses, the entire scenery had become a vast galaxy of blankness. The oxygen contained within was speedily reducing at breakneck speeds, they would all soon die due to the lack of oxygen.
Sin smiled to himself as he mumbled to himself. [Money cranks the wheel making the smart become dumb asses.]
Sin called out to the Generals. "Zephyr, Smokey the bear, Sylus, Alaine, Rain all of you can act now. This barrier of mine will buy just enough time for you all to raid their treasuries, after that ignite all the bombs in various places. I will kill all the leaders, you all take care of the left overs."
Sin said to his Mana supplier. "You can let go of my hand now, hide nearby and come out when those elders emerge from my trap."
Stolen story; please report.
Sin flipped his body as he shot down through the sky. With both hands out and grabbing onto a tree branch, Sin flipped around the branch multiple times to dismiss the momentum. Sin dropped himself down as the dizziness overtook him and he fell on his ass. After the dizziness passed, Sin took out some blocks of wood and a knife from his inventory.
While the big fishes were caught inside, Sin decided to pass the time and do some carving. After 15 peaceful minutes passed by, the trapped elders within broke through the net holding them. After getting out all of their faces were beet red as they huffed and puffed for air.
The Generals did as they were previously told, multiple loud explosions were heard as Black Rock Organizations Fortress went up in a sea of flames. The 4 groups of 1,250 Fairy Warriors charged in killing all of those escaping. They activated the formations left to them by Sin, the surrounding thirty kilometres had been covered by a big dome. This dome separated the Black Rock Organization from the outside world, meaning no distress signals could be made.
The thirty elders of the Black Rock Organization appeared before Sin. Their bodies were radiating a suffocating killing intent.
"Shitty brat you actually dare to cause all this mess to our Black Rock Organization!?"
Sin smiled as he shrugged his shoulders.
"What, just because you can raid the Fairy Clan with the help of Rheanon, we cannot come and raid you as well? If I were an outsider, this is a pretty stupid concept to have."
Sins Mana supplier came rushing back, with their hands held together. Sin flashed forward smashing his fist into the guts of one of the elders. The elder was launched into the air, Sin leaped forward and slashed the elder into two halves. After landing on the ground, Sin side flipped as he twisted his body ninety degrees in mid air. Sin dodged various attacks as he pierced through the skull of another elder with Kaiser.
Quickly taking out the last spare from his inventory, Sin swiped it upwards with his left hand deflecting many blows. After using the momentum of the strike to let himself fall back, Sin charged forward once again with one hand on his sheath, and the other on the hilt of his blade.
Sins body formed a golden zig zag followed by the sound of a "chhk"
[Illusionary Sword Second Stage: Void Breaker!]
The pressure of the void compressed those within, after reaching maximum compression it blasted itself apart, blowing the elders bodies up into meaty chunks.
Sin rolled backwards sliding through the legs of one of the elders. Sin shoved Kaiser upwards with its hilt smashing the balls of the attacking elder.
The elders voice was visibly raised a couple of notches as he screamed out in agony. Sin placed both hands on the ground, his legs crossed around the elders head in a X position. Swinging downwards the elder is smashed into the ground, Sin twisted his spine in a S as he grabbed the forearm of another elder and twisted it emitting a loud "SNAP"
The Sword fell out of his hands and pierced through the new assailants foot. Sin leaped upwards smashing his elbow onto the hilt, piercing the blade all the way through till the hilt was stopped by bones in the foot. Sin with a open palm smashed out in a straight line across the elders chin, his head spun in circles uttering multiple "krrks"
In less than thirty seconds Sin had already claimed a couple lives, while he himself was still in tip top condition and untouched.
Sin covered a yawn with his hand. "Are you just going to stand there? I am purposely leaving myself full of openings to give you all a chance."
Sins voice full of mockery had pissed them off, but they didn't dare step forward and test his words. Sin put Kaiser back into his sheath, then he placed both hands behind his back as he said once more.
"What are you being a bunch of pussies for? I'm only a single man, surely more than 20 prestigious elders should be able to handle one person right?"
Just as one of them couldn't handle it anymore, he rushed forward slashing towards Sin. Sins Withering Sword Dance turned into various coloured flower petals, when the Sword was about to cleave Sin in half. The petals turned deadly as they swarmed the attacker, blood gushed out of his body as he had thousands of minor to deep cuts. Soon he dropped dead, the flower petals devoured the corpse hungrily leaving no traces behind.
Sin raised his palm creating two waves of flower petals with a clear path leading directly towards him. The path was wide enough for five people to walk within before touching the two flower petal waves inevitably dying within.
Five elders walked towards Sin with swords drawn. Sin stood where he was minding his own business, as if he were going for a relaxing stroll through the forest during Autumn. Sin flicked his fingers and five swords made out of flower petals formed before him. Sin reached out grabbing one sword while deflecting all the attacks coming his way.
After buying another 10 minutes, Sin figured all the organization's members should be dead by now, and all the japtem had been successfully looted.
The Withering Sword Dance expanded once more, this time the flower petals turned into two long rows of swords. All the remaining Black Rock Organization elders were now within the Sword Realm created by Sin.
Sin voiced out. "I will honour my master and let you all die by a technique I recently gained insight into from her Sword Heart."
The rows of swords began withering away into various lights and flower petals. The Sword Realm quickly became a scene right out of the Autumn season on earth.
[Ballad Of The Mystic Blade Empress!]
The lights and flower petals consumed all the elders within. All that remained was a pool of blood, storage rings, belts, and the weapons used by the elders. After picking them all up Sin was pleased with his job. After looting what was left by the elders, Sin left and regrouped with the Fairy Warriors. As expected less than 125 people had died, proving the Fairy Clans abilities and well trained warriors.
"Alright very good everyone this was a clean sweep. Let's head back before the sun rises, it would be better off to remain low profile about who eliminated the Black Rock Organization. Collect all the bodies of the fallen Fairy Warriors, when we return I will hand out the next 20 years worth of service to their families. Death is inevitable, but we can still take care of their families, and honour them in their death."
Sin and company began making their way back to the Fairy Clan. After thirty minutes passed, a group of middle aged men and women appeared with a elderly man leading the pack.
The elder floated above with his aura alone compressing the void beneath his feet. The elder attentively eyed the battlefield below.
"Some ballsy punk ass bitches dares to destroy my subsidiary branch! I will clean up these foolish bastards who raided my organization."
The elder waved his hands dismissing the group. After closing his eyes, his power spread out covering the Black Rock Organizations fortress. Events of Sin being blasted into the air above and slicing the fortress in half. As well as the following events of bombs detonating, and the one sided massacre that followed suit.
The elderly man's aura turned murderous. "Fairy Clan I will personally wipe you out once our operations have succeeded!"
After Sin and the company made it to the halfway point, he ordered the warriors to rest and take note of all the japtem they looted.
After sending out his various orders, Sins ears twitched as he heard the distant cries of a young child.
"Papa, momma wake up!"
The cries had touched a sore spot within Sins heart. Sin quietly slipped away as he followed the sound. After arriving at the scene, a mountainous village was set ablaze. There were raiders killing and pillaging the village.
Sin once again heard the cries of a little girl.
"You bad man! Leave my papa and momma alone!"
Sin withdrew Kaiser and flashed forward. Sins killing intent billowed out of his body, locking onto the leader of the raiders.
"Wh-"
Before the raider captain had the chance to call out. Sin cleaved the man's body in half, then with his fist burning with Phoenix Queen, Sin punched out incinerating the two halves.
Sin sheathed Kaiser as he retracted his killing intent. Using the hilt of Kaiser as his walking stick, Sin began making his way over to the sobbing little girl.
After hearing her gasp in fright, Sin stopped moving forward as he knelt down onto the ground.
Sin said with the most sincere tone he could use. "It's okay little one, I am not here to hurt you. What happened to your village?"
The little girl looked at Sin cautiously, but she did not find the ruthless look in Sins eyes. Nor did she feel as if Sin were another bad man.
"A band of thieves have been raiding our village over the last few months. Papa and momma are the sole cultivators in our village, they have always been able to always repel them. But the thieves came with stronger people, papa and momma died protecting me."
The little girl said as she cried more looking at her papa and mommas corpses.
Sin walked over to the bodies of the girl's parents. He absorbed their corpses into his inventory.
Sin then stretched his hand out to the little girl.
"Come with me, I will allow you to avenge your momma and papa. We will be going to a safe place soon where we can properly bury, and honour your parents."
The little girl was conflicted for a long time. But eventually, she reached her small hand out and clasped onto Sins.
"You're not a bad man. Papa and momma always said I shouldn't trust strangers. Why do you feel like my loving papa and momma?"
Sin answered back. "I have two little daughters just like you. But I am a bad papa, my little girls are all alone without their papa and momma, because I wasn't strong enough."
The little girl looked at Sin with her misty eyes. "Are you going to take care of me like papa and momma did?"
Sin hugged the little girl into his chest. "I will, but first we must go and avenge your papa and momma!"
Sin turned his back around, and the little girl jumped up, holding onto Sins shoulders with her hands.
Sin flashed into the village radiating his Emperor Aura. All of the raiders powerlessly knelt down to the ground.
Sin let the little girl off his back, he withdrew Kaiser from his sheath and gave it to the little girl.
"Vent out all your pain and sadness, these bad people do not deserve any mercy."
The little girl clumsily held onto Kaiser, but remembering watching as her own papa used to train. She walked forward and slashed down, sending the heads of the raiders rolling.
After she was done, she looked at the corpses all around her. "Papa, momma this kind uncle has helped me avenge you. I will become strong one day and make you proud of me."
The little girl gave Kaiser back to Sin. She held out her hand on her own this time, Sin covered her little hand and returned back to the Fairy Warriors.
When Sin returned he got various questions relating to the little girl.
"I heard the distant cries of this little girl. Her village was raided by thieves, I saved her and then allowed her to kill all the raiders to avenge her parents. The Fairy Clan wouldn't turn a little girl away would they?"
Sin explained and questioned back. The warriors hushed up as they looked at the little girl in a new light.
Sin took out some water, towels, bandages and a clean pair of clothes. Sin washed off the blood and mud from the little girls body and put bandages on her cuts. After she was changed and cleaned up, the girl looked like a little princess.
The girl claimed her spot on Sins back as he ordered aloud.
"Move out, we return to the Fairy Clan, bury the dead and honour their sacrifices. I will compensate the families of the dead Warriors."
After rushing ahead at top speed for 45 minutes, they had finally returned to the Fairy Clan. Since Sin had been given immunity to the formations, Sin was now able to cross through without any hassles.
After they all returned, the Fairy Clan was peaceful again. Rheanon had been captured and locked up, all the traitors had been killed successfully.
Sin ordered out his commands. "Bring the dead bodies of the fallen Warriors to their families. Each family gets a pouch with 3,750 gold coins. Inside their pouches are different Sword Methods for them to learn from."
Sin then ordered the Generals beside him.
"Distribute 125,000 gold coins, and 15,000 pieces of armour and weapons between the remaining warriors who participated in the raid."
Alaris came rushing out to see everyone's return. When she spotted Sin in top condition she heaved a long sigh of relief.
Sin asked Alaris. "Do you have any uninhabitable back mountains? I would like to personally build my own lodging for myself and the little girl. That way we won't get in the way of the Fairy Clan."
Alaris nodded before replying back. "10 kilometres south, 7 kilometres east, 4 kilometres west. There is a vast patch of land with a waterfall, various herb gardens and man made training quarters. It was used previously before my father passed away."
Sin thanked Alaris sincerely before making his way towards the patch of land. After arriving, Sin took out a hammer, nails, planks of wood and various other tools.
Sin quickly built a cabin, and smashed his thumb multiple times drawing many fucks and goddamn that hurt!
After the cabin and beds were made. Sin had finally been exhausted, not having Mana or cultivation was starting to become a real bitch of an itch.
Sin took out pillows, and blankets from his inventory. After tucking the little girl into bed, Sin was about to leave when she asked.
"Uncle, papa and momma used to tell me stories before bed. Could you tell me one?"
Sin turned around and temporarily saw Alannahs figure cross over. Sin couldn't help it. "Of course, I know many stories to tell."
And so the night passed peacefully. Sin and the little girl had both fallen asleep reciting, and listening to bedtime stories.
