101 Well Shit, Since I've Been Found Already...

Chaos.

That is the first thing Shuhang felt the moment he arrived. The multi colored sky of this world were constantly flashing in all sorts of color. Even more brightly than usual, if that is even possible. The giant land mass was splitting apart similar to when an earth quake occurred in earth while his nascent soul is trembling nonstop as if it were enduring something under great strain.

Shuhang: "Fuck! The hell is going on?!"

*BANG!!*

Before he could figure it out, something smashed into the ground next to him. It didn't take Shuhang long to figure out what that was. It was actually the figure of Ddraig lying in a crater and wounded. Thankfully, it didn't seem to be anything too serious.

Shuhang: "Ddraig! You alright?!"

[I'll live, partner. Though, I couldn't hold her back as I wasn't expecting the 'attack'.] said ddraig as he rose from the ground with his wings spread out imposingly, instantly clearing away all the dust while he was at it.

"Wait... Her?"

Hearing the word 'her' and the currently impossible situation, Shuhang felt like he knew the one responsible. There should only be 2 begins in this world that could possibly perform such a feat. And only one of them could be called a 'her'.

As if choosing that moment to prove his theory right, Shuhang suddenly felt a tug on his sleeve. Though very unwilling, Shuhang turned his head towards the source anyways after quickly bracing himself mentally.

"...help me defeat Baka-Red, Dragon God... of Reality... Verum." said the tiny intruder with wide, hopeful eyes as she stared straight into his eyes unblinkingly.

Shuhang: "..."

Shuhang face palmed with a loud audible smack.

Her broken sentence aside, Shuhang choose not to give any immediate response. Ddraig himself was sporting an awkward look, unsure of what to do in this situation. Turning his gaze away for a moment to study the aftermath of Ophis' forceful intrusion, Shuhang was relieved to find that the shaking had stopped.

His nascent soul seem to have returned to normal as well. The damage had already been done however. Other than the lotus island where his nascent soul resides at, the giant land mass was... a complete mess to say the least. The 'Unlimited Blade Works' island/mountain even broke off competely and some how drifted a vast distance away, such that regular human eye would only barely be able see it.

Shuhang: "Yeah... I'm not even going to ask how you did what you just did, but I can't right now. You can... Stay here for the time being. Just ask Ddraig to show you around."

Though unwilling, Ddraig could only just grumble to himself and agreed anyways. It's not like he could do anything else other than agree to be the guide.

Shuhang: "Ugh... Guess I'll do damage assessment later once I'm done with my business here..... Wait a second. Ophis-chan, what was it that you called me just now? 'Dragkn God'? Why did I not remember becoming one? And who the heck is 'Verum'?"

Back on the outside world.

Being unable to stand the silence, Kuroka was just about voice her apology for shamelessly asking for the impossible. She wasn't able to however as light seem to have return to Shuhang's eyes while letting out an exaggerated sigh. This made Kuroka flinch as she thought it was directed at her. She couldn't be any happier for being wrong this time around.

Shuhang: "Your offer, I shall accept it. I'm in need of a teacher in the arts of [Senjutsu] at the moment anyway which is perfect. Lead the way. I happen to have... Come under the possession of a very scary title which can most likely 'convince' just about anyone in a 'discussion'."

Hearing his answer and seeing the confident look 'Shu' sported, Kuroka's heart felt at ease. She wanted to give her utmost thanks, but even that was denied by that Shuhang.

Shuhang: "Here, eat this while I fix up your wound. You look like you're about to drop any moment now."

After saying such, Shuhang opened up his palm to reveal a round and very colorful bead. Although Kuroka didn't know what that bead is, she was still able to 'sense' a very powerful life force emitted due to her Senjutsu.

After handing the 'Dragon Pellet' over, Shuhang extended his palm in the Nekoshou's direction and a glow, the same color as the bead in her palm. In almost an instant, all the wounds Kuroka had been struggling to suporess disappeared as if they never even existed in the 1st place.

Thinking about it for only a moment, Kuroka unhesitantly swallowed the 'Dragon Pellet' in one go. What point is there in hesitating when Shuhang's power was so much bigger than hers'. She could somehow tell that even if she tried to suicide, she would never succeed should 'Shu' not approve of it.

Watching her action, Shuhang have a slight smile on his face while pondering to himself. (Well then. Since the one i wanted to hide from had already invited herself into mg 'house', I might as well do things with a bang. Time raze-- uh, raise some hell on this unsuspecting [Underworld]."
