10 Demonic Nest

This time the luck with the booty was not so good, we only found 2 silver coins, the bandits spent money, so there was much less of this. The only thing that was worth it was that we found 10 horses tied in a pasture not far away, that was our biggest booty.

"I have already registered all the small village, I have also gotten all the records we need to claim the mission reward, let's go back to the tent, take 2 horses and wait for me there I have things to do," Rin said.

Uhmmmm, things to do, it's strange, but Rin would not hide anything from me, no matter what. I have never ridden a horse, this will be the first time, I do not think it is difficult for me with my current physique.

I went to the two horses and tied a saddle, put the stirrups, tied the other horse to mine and went up. It seems that it is not too difficult, and slowly I arrived at our tent, I tied both horses to a tree and dismounted the tent, when I was already loading everything on both horses when I saw Rin, I knew why it had taken more time.

Every time I saw Rin in her half-wolf shape I fell more in love, this time I was wearing better quality clothes, I guess she got them from the women who died. She looked incredibly pretty, I took the time to look away from her face. When I realized I was embarrassed to death, Rin was too hypnotizing. When she got on the horse, the view was worthy to be photographed and framed.

With the horses, we moved much faster, this time our objective was quite far, 1-week walking, but with the horses took 4 days, I could also concentrate more on acupuncture points since my horse was attached by a rope to the horse of Rin and I did not even need to concentrate. Rin was also cultivating along the way, she did not need to concentrate so much, I guess it's the difference between having the talent or not ...

In these 4 days I managed to open 6 acupuncture points, only 75 were left, knowing Rin was my best advantage in the way of cultivation. I went back to ask Rin about our mission, I needed to be prepared for the battle.

"I was going to tell you tonight anyway, our current mission is much more difficult than the ones we've done before, the two previous missions have given us the 10 points needed to advance from rank to 2-star Mortal Knight, but for Go up in rank you have to execute a mission of greater difficulty than your rank.From 2-star Mortal Knight you must have stepped on the path of cultivation, the minimum level required is to be in the Bone Strengthening stage. " Rin explained.

"So we have to finish opening our acupuncture points?" I asked, if I finished opening my acupuncture points I would have more confidence against a mission of greater difficulty.

"Not really, this is a special mission, the demons enter through space cracks, sometimes they invade directly, but normally they sow seeds of Chaos, they create their own dimension, they are usually called demonic nest, inside there is a core that we have what to break.

It is heavily patrolled by demonic beasts or demons. The difficulty is to enter and annihilate the entire nest of resources. It is important to break it because it continuously extracts life force, killing everything around it slowly, the demons also tend to kill living beings to accumulate more life force. "Rin explained.

"Then is not it better that we wait until we open all our acupuncture points?" I asked I felt less secure than before.

"No, we will cultivate when we break the core, these missions are the most dangerous, but when the nucleus is destroyed it starts to collapse, the Qi will be much more abundant so our cultivation will be 10 times faster, maybe we can even absorb the energy of life. Another advantage is that the inner core that demonic beasts and demons have are quite valuable since there are few for sale. We have achieved this mission by luck, perhaps it was too far from the city, since we have to make a detour through the route we've come, and that's why the people with the greatest capacity do not want to waste time here ... "Rin sighed.

It seems that people put selfishness always ahead of the security of others.

The night ended, this time I was somewhat nervous, this mission would not be as simple as the others but still trusted our abilities, and Rin always had a correct judgment.

When we awoke, we went directly to the Demonic Nest, the closer we got, the more black the earth was. When we arrived, before our eyes a gray wasteland stretched out, it seemed that it had been raining ash, there a beam of black light in the middle of the meadow, it was two meters high and it was as thick as a tree.

"There it is, I'm going to change into Wolf, you just have to touch the beam of light, prepare for battle immediately," Rin said seriously.

"All right" I replied. I did not watch as she became a wolf, maybe she would get angry. When I saw that she put the matrix of 5 elements, I advanced towards the beam of black light, my whirlpools of Origin Qi were spinning to the maximum.

When I touched the beam of light, it was similar to entering a mirror, only that no color could be seen, this world was black and white, a kind of ash was falling continuously, in my view I could see a horde of 30 dogs with 2 heads approaching us.

"Do not get nervous, you are much stronger than them, just focus," Rin said, it woke me up from my nervousness.

This time I did not allow myself to go easy, I imbued the spear with all the Qi that it admitted and made a wide horizontal cut, all the dogs that suffered the cut, were divided into two halves, their bodies withered and turned to ash, but They left a small sphere, it was the size of a marble and its color was blood red.

The remaining 20 dogs split, they wanted to make a pincer attack, but those on the right side fell into a swamp, which stopped them bluntly, Rin was as reliable as ever. I went back to do a horizontal cut, this time 3 dogs dodged jumping, but my spear was much faster than they thought, 3 thrusts in succession ended their lives. The other 10 dogs were frozen in the swamp, it seems that Rin was not wasting time. I hit the ground and pieces of ice fell, along with the red blood core.

"Let's move forward we can pick up the loot later," Rin said.

We advanced 100 meters and saw an orb floating in a matrix, they were both black, and you could see how they absorbed the white color of the environment. Protecting this nucleus 5 humanoid forms were guarding it, one had a bow and the others an ax.

They were very different from those of the movies, their skin was full of scales, some irregular spikes came out of them, their limbs had claws but they could still handle weapons. The biggest difference was his head, his head was more deformed as if a face were melting, his skin was red. All the features of the face were mixed and it was different in the 5 demons.

"RhIg focus! The demons know how to fight, they are not like everyone we've found so far, and they have already begun to cultivate. As usual, a demon always has a stronger than a human body. I trust you." Rin reassured me.

The demons came running, the archer stayed behind, they wanted to surround me.

I crossed several shots with them, they were formidable, but we were in a stalemate, with Rin's support I only received a few light wounds. But at this moment something changed.

An arrow shot at my shoulder, Rin took strength from the Elemental Qi, but it still stuck a few centimeters, but I was smiling, I do not know when I started to like the feeling of fighting, but from the bottom of my soul I was having fun. the best moment of my two lives, a feeling of fulfillment. I did not lose my rationality, the more I was on the verge of death, my senses were sharpened, a hidden strength within me, and the thirst for blood could not remain hidden.

Today I discovered that the Earth had suppressed my true personality, but I could no longer suppress it. A new berserker was born.
