Chapter 53: DANGER LURKS IN EVERY CORNER OF THIS REALM (2)

A huge frown appeared on Henry's forehead, then he screamed as he felt the sword intent coming out from the ripping sword to get weaker and weaker with each passing second.

"RIPPING SWORD ARE YOU ALRIGHT!!!" HENRY EXCLAIMED AS HE TIGHTEN THE GRIP ON THE RIPPING SWORD.

A second or two later, the sword intent coming from the ripping sword started to increase, and this caused Henry to relax a little bit.

The barrier of sword intent surrounding them also started to recover its strength. Within a few seconds, the barrier had already recovered to its peak condition.

The sword intent in the surrounding aura started to rush towards the spirit who had breached the barrier.

Gales of wind infused with sword intent rush toward the beast and tear them apart.

Then a familiar voice resounded in Henry's ears.

"Yes, I am alright at least for now"The ripping sword replied to Henry in a tired voice.

As the ripping sword voice resounded in his ears. He calmed down a lot. He let out a sigh.

"Sigh you had me worried, I hope you don't do this again.

However, what happened to you??"Henry asked in a serious voice.

The sword almost instantly replied.

"Don't be too happy nor too relieved, if you don't hurry then you will surely perish by the next day or so"The ripping sword announced in a serious voice.

Henry knew that he would die in a day if doesn't reach the Primordial Realm by then. However, if the ripping sword knows about this then it has to do something with it.

Henry asked in a cold and serious voice.

"What exactly has happened in the outsider world?" Henry asked as his voice carried a tinge of coldness and seriousness.

The ripping sword let out a sigh.

"You see, I have calmed down half of your body. That's why you are conscious in the realm of eternal slumber.

The other half of your body is overwhelmed by your evil power.

The evil aura is really powerful but I had thought that I could keep your other half calm enough just so you don't lose consciousness in this realm for the next 2 weeks.

However, three strong cultivators are going to attack you any second now. If I don't let that energy take over your body you will surely die.

Since your body is not capable of protecting itself when two conscious people are fighting for control of your body" The ripping sword explained to him.

Henry fell into deep thought after knowing this. He let out a sigh and said.

"It essentially means if I let evil aura take control over my body then I will survive but I won't be myself anymore.

If you don't let that aura control my body then I will still die. So there is only one way to truly survive, reach the Primordial beginning by the next 24 hours or so"Henry asked with a frown on his face.

The sword trembled a little bit signaling that what Henry said was right.

"Ripping sword, do you know of a way to travel faster since if I can't travel faster then I will surely die"Henry explained to the ripping sword.

"There is….." as the ripping sword was talking, it was interrupted by a strong gale of wind infused with his sword intent heading towards it.

The ripping sword quickly absorbed the sword's intent from the gale of wind to protect Henry from injuries.

"What's happening? Has the defense been breached???!!!!"Henry screamed at the top of his lungs

All of a sudden, Henry felt the presence of thousands of weak spirits slowly yet quickly approaching him.

Among these spirits, he felt the power of a spirit at least 1000 times stronger than the rest.

The spirit, life force, and power are so strong that they sent shivers down his spine. Henry couldn't help but let out a curse.

"Damn it, a strong enough spirit that can breach the barrier has appeared"Henry muttered as he tightened the grip on his sword.

A notification appeared on his retina.

(You have triggered the sub-emergency quest.

1)An army of spirit:

As you wander deeper and deeper into the dark realm in search of the Primordial beginning, the density of weird energy that the spirits are made up of increases greatly.

This causes more and stronger spirits to form to protect the Primordial beginning of the realm.

You have gotten close to the Primordial beginning, hence a strong spirit has appeared to slay you and to keep the Primordial beginning clean from mortal waste.

Kill the strongest spirits.

1) Rewards golden coins based on the number of spirits you kill along with the strongest spirits.

2) Get another clue on how to reach the Primordial beginning quickly and easily.

Penalty: Eternal slumber or in other words death)

Henry read the lines of words that appeared on his retina. The second reward got his attention.

"Can I find a faster way to reach the Primordial beginning if I kill the strongest spirits?

This looks like my only option to survive."Henry thought to himself.

He tightened the girl on the sword and then he asked.

"How much full strength can you exert in your current strength? ''Henry asked.

The ripping sword thought carefully before answering.

"Hmm around 40 percent I will say," The ripping sword said.

Then Henry let him know about his plan to fight the army of spirit. The ripping sword will be shocked, it would want to refute this plan.

However, Henry's voice resounded in his ears before he could say anything.

"This is the only way that I can survive, I know it's risky but we don't have any other choices.

Also, I am ordering you as your master to follow this plan"Henry ordered with a ripping sword.

The ripping sword didn't say anything else. Henry tightened the grip on his sword. At the exact moment he did so, his body started to overflow with sword intent from the ripping sword.

It covered his body from head to toe. A thin layer of sword intent also swords the ripping sword.

It's a lot weaker and thinner than before since the ripping sword it's at its peak.

A second later Henry let out a war cry.

"Let the battle to survival and death commence!!!!!!!"Henry let out his war cry.

He swung the sword 180 degrees horizontally when he spotted any spirit in sight. With each swing, the sword produced strong gales of wind, and thousands of spirits were killed.

Their bodies dissipate into countless small fragments of light. These small fragments produced a little bit of light in the realm of eternal slumber.

Henry let some sword intent infuse into the gales of wind. The gales of wind traveled through the realm, killing any spirits that came in contact with it.

Henry kept traveling towards the spirit with the strongest life force and vitality. He killed any weaker spirits that got in his way.

"I must slay the strongest one before taking care of the weaker one. Moreover, they will be taken care of by the gales of wind that I produced"Henry muttered under his breath as he slayed any spirits he saw without mercy.

He kept traveling in that direction for the next minute or so, after that he spotted an enormous 12-foot-tall spirit holding onto a sword that was attached to his wrist by red chains.

That spirit is surrounded by 5 shorter spirits. However, these 5 short spirits are much bigger than the normal soldier.

"That spirit is the strongest in the entire army of spirits since his life's aura is much stronger. His body is also overflowing with vitality.

The shorter spirits are I think commanders of that spirit. Since they are in no way normal spirits

Regardless I will have to kill the bigger one first" Henry muttered under his breath.

He tightened the grip on his sword, his body was covered in as much as sword intent the ripping sword could supply at the current moment.

The ripping sword is also covered in a thick layer of sword intent.

Henry kept charging toward the spirit. The eyes of the king of spirits locked up on Henry.

After that something shocking that Henry didn't think in a million years had happened.

"Commanders, go and kill him. After that bring me his head"The king of spirits announced.

Henry narrowed his eyes in disbelief.
