AZI: Burial of a Selfish Lunatic

Full Title, AZI: The History Shattering Burial of a Selfish Lunatic, Who Walked through Reincarnation for Two-Trillion Years Volumes 1-3 Synopsis: “Who?” Holding a lone gourd in hand the young man raises it to the Heavens with a single question. “Who wishes to accompany me? To stay by my side for an eternity, and to walk through the mountains, and seas?” May container spoilers below Volume 4 Synopsis: Weapon spirits, such is the nature of every single Sinner within the Leng Bing Realm. In other words, all of them are but tools, and a tool… “A tool has no right to choose their owner, and what a tool does is decided by their owner.” “…Cruel, how very cruel the laws of this world are. Even upon death, a soul may not rest.” Volume 5 Synopsis: “Surnamed Ye, if you had a choice between being a hero or a demon lord, which would you choose? Naturally, you can also choose to be a villager A or B if you wanted to.” “What kind of question is that? Hmm.” Contemplating for a bit, Ye Chen answers— “I guess, the hero? Since he always wins in the end?” “Hero, is it?” “And you, surnamed Long?” “I think, the role of the hero—is a role that should only be played by a masochist.” “The hell? Is this entire question supposed to be a way to diss me?” “The fate of a hero is to suffer. They’re constantly being pushed left and right. …While everyone else drowns in a sea of despair, a hero must stand their ground, and step forward—to guide the deadbeats along. They must become the shining beacon of hope that others may follow—towards a future, where they may survive. Tell me then, if a hero isn’t a masochist, then what are they?” The world is a game board, those who control the game board, and the game itself… What are they? Volume 6 Synopsis: “A lunatic near death has three options. One, they can choose to pass away peacefully. Two, they can choose to spend the rest of their remaining life to find a solution that will let them live. Three, they can drag an entire world down as a part of their burial.” ……… “The longer you live for, and the more you experience, the less you care about the things around you. Maybe, I’m just someone who has reached that point?” ……… “You’re right in saying that even if this world goes up into flames, I’d still be drinking away at my leisure. Why bother to care for a world that is completely foreign to me? The people who I had cared for, they aren’t here; hence, I see very little purpose in getting myself invested into this environment.” ……… The 46th prince of the Hong Xiao Empire was born between the emperor and the 114th concubine. He was born on a moonlit night, and yet, since his eyes were blind, his majesty—the emperor decided to name him Bujian Yue. “Did you know—that the more fearful a prey is, the tastier it is? At least to me, since I enjoy chewing on my food to savor the flavor.” “…?” Enlarging its stature, the black serpent abruptly snaps its head forward, and swallows the palace maid whole. Leaving a bite mark on the ground, the black serpent begins to chew, as the sound of meat and bones being pulverized comes from its maw. And eventually, the black serpent swallows.

AZI Volume 1 Chapter 29

"Tch."

Kicking a rock, Ye Chen clicks his tongue.

It was already nighttime, and Long Hua was still nowhere to be seen.

While there was still daylight out, they had searched the area a bit more, but nothing was found.

"Take a breather. The fact that we haven't found a corpse, means he's still alive somewhere."

Leaning against the truck, Li Xue remarks on this.

"An Immortal descended as well a few hours ago. The longer we stay here, the worse it seems to get."

"Ai, captain, we really drew the short end of the stick, didn't we?"

"Next time we take an odd job, I'm doing a roll first. If it's R, it's a no go."

"Captain, you seriously going to decide whether or not to take a job based off that?"

"You got a better idea, 2nd Lieut. Yu Ji?"

Cutting Ye Chen and Yu Ji off, Li Xue says—

"Ai, knock it off you two. Let's eat first. We can always search more tomorrow."

"Right? I'm starving. C'mon, captain get the pot out."

It was also then that another voice joined the conversation, and it was not Qing Yue's.

"So be it I guess."

"…"

"…"

"What's wrong?"

"Welcome back."

Compared to Ye Chen, Qing Yue, and Yu Ji—who all looked as if they had seen a ghost, Li Xue's reaction to Long Hua's sudden appearance at the camp site is much calmer.

"Well then, 2nd lieutenant Long Hua, anything to say for yourself before I knock you on the head?"

"Captain, have a heart. I've been chased by a dog, then ran into an Immortal while trying to lose that dog. My body on the outside might seem fine, but I'm pretty battered up on the inside."

To make it seem more convincing, Long Hua shows his right hand that was scratched up from grabbing onto Kun when it was still connected to Huang Wu as their personal magic treasure.

"Tch. When I say, not to stray too far from the search area, I mean it, so keep it in mind next time."

"Sir, yes, sir."

"You ain't regretting it for shit."

"As the one who lead that beast to the squad, I felt it to be my responsibility to act as decoy. What's there to feel regret over now that the task is done, and I'm still alive?"

Placing a hand in front of his chest, Long Hua presents himself as a responsible recruit while smiling on the inside.

"That face of yours right now only makes me want to beat you even more, but whatever. So, what happened to the hound and the Immortal in the end?"

"Hopefully, they killed each other off. I didn't stick around long enough to find out."

It goes without saying that the steel hound is still alive, but since it had fled during his exchange with Huang Wu, Long Hua wasn't interested in chasing after it.

At the same time, that steel hound can also be considered his lucky star for having held Huang Wu back for as long as it did—to buy him time to ascend to Qi Condensation stage seven.

(I get the feeling that I'll meet that hound again in the future.)

...…

Back in the area where Long Hua and Huang Wu had their exchange—

"Hmm this should be the area, but…"

A man who looks to be in his early twenties appears on the site.

With him being dressed in a fancy white suit, along with a pair of black leather shoes, he couldn't be anything but an odd sight amidst this land of barren rubble.

Other than the man's white hair being an odd trait, his left eye is covered up with a cloth styled eyepatch.

"Nuó'er, what do you think?"

Turning his one golden eye towards his small companion, the white-haired man with the eyepatch smiles.

"Bái Wén, I'm hungry."

The expressionless companion of the man answers as such.

Much like the man, she also possesses white hair but has purple eyes.

Worn on top of the girl's head is a black military cap, while the rest of her body is wrapped around a uniform of the same color with a skirt.

"Ai, hold it in for now. A clansman had died a… Most unusual death."

Kicking a rock with her black boot, Nuo'er tilts her head to the side in boredom, while Bai Wen shuts his right eye and concentrates.

(Interesting. Not only was there an Apotheosized Sinner—as the people of this world would call them, but there was another practitioner here as well. However, they are not a clansman of mine, and…)

A solemn expression appears on the handsome man's face.

"Sword intent, one that not even I can hope to understand…"

Smiling suddenly, the white-haired man seems amused.

"As he is not a clansman of my household, he shouldn't have a medallion on his person, and yet he was still able to rotate his cultivation base… Whoever this visitor of Ling Beng Realm is, I do hope to invite them over for a cup of wine or tea."

"They might not be interested."

"So be it if they are not. Nay, even if they refuse, I'll still force them to sit at the same table for a bit. Should this individual come close to an Immortal detection system, they'll be found immediately. Shouldn't be too difficult to find them."

Turning around, Bai Wen nods to himself.

"Come then, Nuo'er. Let us return for a meal."

...…

"Mm anything tastes good when you're starved."

Unaware of what had happened back at the site where he had fought Huang Wu, Long Hua eats his meal with an expression of satisfaction.

Using a special method that came from his fragmented memories, he has sealed off his cultivation base completely.

Prior to returning to the squad, he had also tested himself with a computer terminal that had been on the way.

(Still how interesting. This world has machines capable of detecting spirit Qi.)
