Missions

This time we slept in the same bed of straw, there was not much more space, so it was the best solution.

The next day Rin woke up first somehow she woke up hugging me, but when I felt movement I woke up, I was not used to sleeping with anyone, the light of dawn filtered through the cave.

"Rin, can you move now?" I asked I thought it would take him several days of rest to move.

"Evolution is much shorter than you think if it lasted a long time would need some method of defense, the evolution of wolves is not so problematic. But I feel that something has changed, this time I notice more elemental energy and different elemental energy. My absorption rate is the same as the one we cultivate together, I'm confident of reaching the bone strengthening pinnacle. Rin explained as he stretched his body, he had gained muscle mass, his figure was no longer slim.

"That's great, so we can move faster, we need money and status to go to the war camp, it's the best place I can grow. I said after thinking momentarily, the Warfield was my greatest strength.

"To go to the zone where the dimensional force is weaker we have to increase our rank of knight, besides our cultivation, the demons that go to the war zone, are not so easy to treat, we should at least reach the core stage, I need time to find out how the other elements work, this time I can see elementary particles that I had never seen...". Rin answered while cutting some meat and cooking it on the grill, it was a strange breakfast, but we had to satisfy the hunger.

"We can go to the city to pick up some mission, and already think about our next steps while we do the mission, this time you can choose much more difficult missions, I am confident to finish them as long as they are extermination...". I said to Rin in a serious tone, we could not waste time, every day more is one day less.

"All right, but let's do it as fast as possible, I'm afraid they'll recognize me and put reward back in my head...". Rin replied, a trace of fear filtered through her voice.

We ate and set out, the cave was 3 hours from the city, so it didn't take that long.

The Port of Greenstone was quite beautiful, the sea could be seen from the entrance, the wall was in bad condition due to saltpeter, but still fulfilled its function, you could not see high houses, but the village was beautiful. Small sailboats and some boats without sails could be seen next to the port, I remembered instinctively the fishing boats of the Earth.

We entered the port of Greenstone without any problem, as long as you paid the fee they wouldn't examine you too much, Rin led me directly to the main square. Rin gave me the badge that I placed on my chest, it was still 1-Star Mortal Knight, the missions had a maximum delivery time, so they counted as failed.

Upon entering the building, I saw that the building followed the same layout as the first Guild, people gathered around the board, there were some tables to trade, or just talk.

I went straight to the board, people looked down on us, but I didn't care, I only had one goal in mind. Some murmurs came from a particular table...

"Look at those kids, they think they can play here... In the end, they will end up dead."

"If those kids take a mission and complete it, I'll pay you 1 gold coin..."

"You are trying to swindle me, that slave that accompanies him is not worth a silver coin, that little loyal to bring slaves into the Guild..."

"Anyway, they'll end up dead, it's not your problem..."

But before they could continue laughing, I looked at the table where I heard the teasing, two young people in their 20s were drinking beer, their badges were 4-star Mortal Knight because they were similar to mine but had 4 stars.

The Blood Qi accelerated due to the anger, I looked them in the eyes, this would be the only one warning. When my gaze landed in his eyes, one of the young men lost the grip of the cup of beer and was paralyzed with a face of terror.

"Come on Rin, we can't waste time. I whispered, two people of this caliber didn't even deserve to know my name."

We arrived at the board, this time there were many more missions, but I didn't know anything about the locations, nor the characteristics of the objectives.

"Rin, choose the ones that are close to each other, I don't want to spend too much time traveling, besides I plan to climb several ranks at the same time...". I whispered quietly, I didn't want others to hear these words, they would just provoke more mockery.

"Okay, I trust you..." While she was saying that, she played several missions, she had stayed here for a few years, so she understood the geography of the area much better, so she quickly got 12 consecutive missions, they were the maximum, they all belonged to the extermination category.

After getting the missions, we left directly, but before crossing the door I looked again at the young man before, this time I removed the Blood Qi, the anger made the Blood Qi seep into the mind of the young man.

When we were out, I heard the young man's voice again.

"Yirup, don't offend those two young ones again, or we'll be courting death, I've just fallen into a nightmare with just one glance..." Said the young man who was paralyzed.

I could only smile, all the people here were like plants in a greenhouse, they had not known the implacable nature of war, Berserker's heart had made me immune during all the time I spent on the battlefield, but for others, it could be a traumatic experience.

"We have to buy another tent, even though we have little money left, it's cold at this time of year..." said Rin. Rin said as she went to a particular tent.

"hmm" I nodded slightly, hopefully, this time the buyer didn't send us murderers, we shouldn't have such bad karma, right?

We arrived at a normal shop and bought all the supplies we could, but the money only reached us for 1 horse, so we would have to ride a horse together.

After buying everything we needed, we went back to the cave to take my spear and anything that could help us and left immediately.

" Rin where our objectives are, I hope they are not too far I do not want to spend most of the time walking ... ". I asked I was anxious to fight.

"Within a couple of hours we will arrive at a bandit village, its size is 100 people, this is a 3-star Mortal Knight mission, or for several 2-star Mortal Knight. After the village, we will have to travel half a day to get to a mine, is infected with Kobolds, the mission is marked with difficulty 3-star Knight Death. After finishing all the missions you will have the necessary points to climb to 4-mortal-Knight, the most difficult mission is the last one, which is a Demonic Nest that has not been explored because it is quite far away. Rin finished explaining.

"Okay, let's hurry, maybe we'll get there to camp at the mine. I said dryly, this time the objectives were not too far away, fulfilling two missions in one day was possible.

After a few hours, we left the horse tied to a tree, 2 kilometers away from the camp of the bandits, this time we attacked during the day, I had already begun to cultivate, besides I am a Berserker, I do not think I needed the support of Rin.

"Rin, give me the 5 elements seal, this time I don't need support, so don't get too close, I don't want you to be in danger...". I warned Rin, if I didn't have to worry about her I could focus more on the battle.

"Uhm, I trust you. As Rin responded the 5-element seal was already on my back.

I began to increase the speed of the Blood Qi, crimson light could be seen around me sometimes when I was already in my peak condition I threw myself forward. My agility had greatly improved, besides the increased perception of time, I had no problem jumping the small fence surrounding the village.

The small village was composed of 4 watchtowers, each at a cardinal point, in the middle I suppose the leader's tent would be because it is daytime there were quite a lot of people working outside their homes.

My first objective was the watchtower, I filled the lance of the whole Blood Qi, acquiring the lance a crimson color, and made a wide cut towards the base of the tower, the Blood Qi increased the size of the blade by 1 meter by cutting the entire base of the tower, the two guards who were watching up fell brutally, one hit the stone path and died instantly, the other guard lost his life by my spear.

His blood this time, flew directly to me like a magnet, leaked through my pores, filling my Dantian with Blood Qi, I smiled, growing up with the blood of your enemies was cruel but comforting, I ran through the camp to the next tower, people were already alarmed, those who had no weapons ran to hide, those who had them looked for the invaders, but could only see one person.

"Where is the army that launched the attack?" I heard a voice a couple of meters ahead in a corner, but he didn't have time to answer, both were decapitated instantly.

The corpses on the streets of the small settlement followed one direction, every living thing from North to East disappeared, not a drop of blood could be seen on the ground or in the tents.

Uhm, Blood Qi seems to change my bones, I don't even have to concentrate on destroying the bone and rebuilding it with energy, I was amazed, so I would spend less time trying to cultivate because the process was much easier, the more lives disappeared the more bones became crimson.

When I finished knocking down the last watchtower, I went on to the second stage of Bone Strengthening, each stage was a set of 20 bones, forming small circuits where the Blood Qi was distributed.

After annihilating the 4 watchtowers and the people around the perimeter there was only the nucleus of the settlement, when I could see the small square in the center, a group of 20 people was gathered there, it seems that they were gathering to face the threat, behind them a fat man dressed in extravagant jewelry gave them orders.

I laughed out loud, these men who rely on money to gain power, had no place in this world, it was time for them to know their new destiny. Without taking any precaution I ran at my maximum speed, the 20 people made a semicircle to protect the chubby, no matter, all would suffer the same fate.
