5 [[[THE INEDIBLE CICIDA]]]

SHHHH!!!

"Don't be so loud!" The old man was alarmed at how stupid he was. He beckoned for him to come over. "Come closer so I can explain to you". "We can't have the whole cell block becoming aware".

Cruden walked in the direction of the man, steadying his pace. He was not too fast but not too slow either. In a few steps, he was in front of the old man.

Jack could now see the young man's face. He was a very skinny boy but he had delicate features. His face was very dirty and sunken like he had eaten in days. It was small and oval. His eyes, nose, and lips were small but they were well proportioned on his small face. Only Adam's apple protruding from his throat and his voice gave away his gender.

Jack was now very pleased. "Such a beautiful young man," he thought His hands twitched as he could already see himself strangling his prey.

The closer he got to him the more sinister the energy felt and the more excited the energy in his body got. He wanted to see what would happen once that energy touched the old man's body. He was not afraid of the old man anymore. if anything he would use the darkness to attack him

Jack walked closer to the bar of the cell to meet Cruden. Then his body flashed. The delicate-faced young man was now in arms reach. Jack's hands flashed as he reached out to grab the Cruden's throat.

In truth, he didn't move that fast Cruden could see the old man's actions. While his eyes could follow. His body was lacking. There was no way he could dodge. He has never been in battle before

Cruden was surprised. The old man acted out of his expectation and he was so fast. He didn't expect the man to try and grab him right away. He wanted to get close enough to send the dark energy out without the old man noticing.

He decided that in the future he would have to be more careful.

As soon as his fingers touched Cruden, a light-dark glow rose from his neck blocking the attack. The old man was shocked. Not only was his attack blocked but he realized that to his dismay, he could not move. He was horrified. His hands were still in a claw shape around Cruden's neck but he could not squeeze or pull back his hand.

When the old man attacked he realized how strong the old man was. He was probably a 3rd Qi condensation.

He thought. He was at the first level of Qi. Normally, he wouldn't be a match. sweat started to pour down his forehead but he was relieved by the outcome

A chuckle escaped Cruden's mouth. The energy inside his body had instinctively reacted and created a small protection around his body. It was the bane of all evil existences. If the old man's energy was stronger or had more dense Qi then he could have shaken it off but his foundations were shaky after the many years of being locked up. In addition, he was scared shitless.

The reason why many of them could not break out their cells was that the cell bars had a formation that Limited the circulation of Qi. Cruden too was under the effect of the formation before but after he came back from the mysterious space. He could not feel the suppression.

Cruden could not tell but from jack's point of view, the unknown energy was giving him endless chills. In his eyes, the delicate boy in front of him had turned into a demon. He tried to speak but only inaudible mutters could escape his mouth. His teeth were shuddering.

Base on how the energy was reacting he knew it was barely suppressing him albeit successfully. Any experiment he had in mind had to be quick.

"Because of my lord's blessing, I can suppress others 2 levels higher than me." Light glinted in his eyes. He must serve his lord well in the future.

The darkness moved to encompass the old man's whole arm then slowly made its way around his neck. Tightly locking into it

Jack's eyes were filled with terror. He had bitten off more than he could chew. He could clearly tell that the kid was weaker but this strange power had him thinking otherwise.

"How the tables have turned old man?" "You wanted to kill me and now I will kill you! "Cruden said decisively.

Cruden could feel energy slowly flowing into his body from the old man but the whole process was too slow. He could tell the energy was being quite resistant.

"How do I speed up this? Do I really have to kill him?"

At first, Cruden had no plans of killing the old man he wanted to see how the energy would react with his body but who would have thought the old man would be so vicious. Since the old man was delivering himself on a platter. He would try out his powers on him.

He instantly came to a decision. He flexed his arm and a loud snap was heard. He looked up and the old man neck was hanging to the side

His face changed as soon as the old man died. The evil energy that was moving slowly not too long ago rushed into his body uninterruptedly. The energy was circulating through his body making him stronger.

Boom.

LEVEL: 3/20

The energy was violent but in his body, it was as calm as the sea.

"Ahhh'" he moaned. I could get use to this. .A smile crept on his face. this strength, my strength.

He had just killed someone for the first time but he would do it again to experience that wonderful feeling. Besides, based on the amount of energy he received and the fact that his energy only reacts to wickedness. He could deduce that the old man wasn't a saint.

He could now more clearly sense the evil energy around him and he could feel he had more darkness energy than before. He looked around and the majority of the people in the prison had strong maliciousness emitting from them. Only two were normal and without maliciousness.

He did not know how truly strong he was in a fight but all the bad guys here were locked up.

"I will be the judge of who dies here today. As the reaper, I shall send all wickedness to the depths of hell!"

The inmates didn't know what was going on and they were unaware that the jack has died but they all shivered at the same time when Cruden made his proclamation.
