Chapter 54: Hypothesis

"...When will we reach?" Huo Wu said, leaning on Nian Zhen's body.

"Hmm...You saw that town right? That is the place. There you have to drink a Bloody Mary if you want to enter the slaughter city. Bloody Mary is made of Human Blood so there are chances of you vomiting. But, I wish you can hold on just a bit longer until you reach the city. After that, don't drink that stuff. It is basically poison if consumed for a long time." Nian Zhen reminded her.

"Hmm." Huo Wu nodded. After a brief conversation, Huo Wu fell asleep in Nian Zhen's embrace. The night came to an end rather early.

The next Morning, Nian Zhen woke up Huo Wu. After a light meal, the two headed towards the direction of the town.

Seeing this familiar and desolate town Nian Zhen could not help but feel nostalgia. Though, he was just here a couple of months ago.

Walking towards a certain tavern, Nian Zhen nodded at Huo Wu implying her to enter. As Huo Wu entered, Nian Zhen put on a mask and followed along.

Unlike last time, it seems the staff Nian Zhen ended up killing were replaced by others. The tavern was full yet it felt so desolate and gloomy.

"10 Bloody Mary." Nian Zhen's cold voice penetrated the gloomy environment. Everyone looked at Nian Zhen with shock. 10 Bloody Mary, is this guy joking?

"...Sir, are you sure?" The bartender looked at Nian Zhen in a strange way. At this moment, Nian Zhen took out a token that represented his identity in the Slaughter City. Seeing this, the people in the tavern could not help but suck in cold air.

"...Death...Death God!!" Someone screamed, looking at Nian Zhen with deep fear and respect. Seeing this scene, Huo Wu looked at Nian Zhen strangely. Nian Zhen had not told her about what Death God represented so she did not understand why everyone was in shock.

As soon as she had entered the Tavern, she felt lustful gazes staring at her unscrupulously. She felt deep shame and anger as she glared at the bastards. Yet, they did not remove their gazes but looked at her as if to see what was hidden inside the clothes. But as soon as Nian Zhen entered and ordered 10 Bloody Mary, she felt everyone's gazes turning away from her.

The reason Nian Zhen ordered 10 Bloody Mary was due to the fact that he was different from these people. He had Absolute Contaminant Immunity which is able to purify any poison in his body. Even without it nothing would happen to him due to the fact that he is a Spirit Beast, A Dragon.

The bartender finally came to his senses and shouted at the staff behind to prepare it immediately.

"L-Lord, are you the 'White Rakshasa'?" The bartender asked, handing over 10 cups of Bloody Mary to Nian Zhen. Taking the tray, Nian Zhen nodded faintly at the Bartender and walked towards Huo Wu. Seeing this the bartender suddenly took out a token and tried to communicate with the slaughter king's subordinates when his head fell off from his body.

The next moment, Nian Zhen's shadows in the World Of Limbo attacked and killed everyone present here in a flash. Nobody knew why they died or how they died. But, all of their faces had expressions filled with fear and despair.

Only one staff member remained. He was left in order to open up the passage to Slaughter City. Nian Zhen walked towards Huo Wu and handed her the cup filled with bloody mary.

"Drink it." Nian Zhen said softly. Taking off his mask, Nian Zhen gulped down the remaining 9 cups in a flash. Yup, it is still tasty.

Seeing Nian Zhen drink like it was nothing, Huo Wu was relieved and also tried to gulp it down. But, as soon as she took a slight sip, her face turned red and looked like she was about to vomit.

"Hold on for just a while. Then it will be okay." Nian Zhen's encouraging voice came in Huo Wu's ear. Looking at Nian Zhen smiling at her, Huo Wu nodded resolutely. Gritting her teeth, Huo Wu gulped it down in one go.

She forced the drink to go down. Seeing how easily Nian Zhen drank it, she thought she could do the same but who would have thought it would be so bad. Looking at Nian Zhen with eyes filled with grievances, Huo Wu suddenly felt an urge to vomit.

A hand slowly patted her hand, while channeling his spirit energy to her body so she could calm down. Feeling this Huo Wu looked at Nian Zhen and blushed.

"Open it. She is eligible." Nian Zhen said coldly to the staff. Nodding his head frantically, the staff immediately started some formations and opened the gate to Slaughter City, Right Now, he did not want to do anything that angered Nian Zhen as he wanted to survive. But reality hit, he was killed as soon as he opened the gate.

He could also open the path but he knew that the formation only reacts to the specified people. If opened forcefully, the formation will alert Slaughter King. This is not what he wanted to see.

"Go…" Nian Zhen said to Huo Wu as he walked towards the gate. Behind him Huo Wu followed closely.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Outskirts of Slaughter City,

Two figures appeared in this ragged and desolate area. The two were naturally Huo Wu and Nian Zhen. Nian Zhen wore his mask while he gave Huo Wu a black robe and veil to hide her mask and appearance. But, it just made her look more charming as the robe could not hide Huo Wu's figure.

"Go straight. No one should be there. As soon as you reach the gate, you will be met by certain people who will give you an ID which is extremely important. A guide will then help you to understand more about this place. I will meet you inside." Nian Zhen said to Huo Wu as he disappeared.

"Bastard, just disappeared like that!!" Huo Wu angered. Nian Zhen abandoned her as soon as they arrived. But she still followed Nian Zhen's instructions and went towards the place Nian Zhen told her about.

Looking at the figure heading towards the city, Nian Zhen in the air smiled as he followed her closely. Unless it is really necessary he will not shoot. This is a test for Huo Wu.

[Host. Did you really come here just to train Huo Wu and attract Hu Liena?]

"Hmm. Well sorta. But I wanna meet old man Chen and anger him." Nian Zhen said evilly. Though he is not going to do it. He will probably not meet Tang Chen personally.

[How much more until Hu Liena arrives?]

"Hmm. Well there is still time. Till that time I will temper Huo Wu to be able to contend with her and Tang San." Nian Zhen said as he looked at the figure below.

"By the way, how strong do I need to be to contend head on with a 1st Class God?" Nian Zhen asked. [About Level 80 host]

"Hmm. Show my status"

"Just a little improvement huh. Well for now training is not that much necessary. Let's take it easy for now. And the 'Law of ???'....what is that? Still not revealed?" Nian Zhen asked Enron.

[Hmm. As far Sanctuary knows, it may be a more advanced and stronger type of Law than the others. So, it must be taking a long time to reveal itself.]

"....Ok. I will focus on improving my comprehension of law while I am here." Nian Zhen thought. This should be really what he must do now. If he wants to bring back his parents, he must at least comprehend Law of Time and Law of Space to a satisfactory level.

[By the way, host. It seems your thought regarding me being the Child of CHAOS may be somehow true.]

"W-What!? Really?" Nian Zhen felt shocked. Really? Enron is the child of CHAOS. This gave him a massive surprise.

[Well, this is just a hypothesis. After analyzing many things, I think that this is mostly related to the Host's Archangel Martial Spirit. The CHAOS and Fallen Archangel were together until the end, It may be really possible that it was the Archangel who ordered CHAOS to give someone a chance and you got it. Regarding why you got the Archangel Soul only after integrating the Spirit Bone it is still not clear. And, I think the reason you got this soul must be that the Fallen Archangel got into trouble that may have cost him his life.]
