Chapter 106 The chase

The Exalted Overlords left the room one step at a time, each of them were silent as he kept his arms to the side.

He's quite the talent I guess, it seems like I will have to resort to some trickery to pull him in.

The Exalted Overlord gave Nightin a 11/10 rating in his mind while he began formulating the plan to rope him in, but he would have to meet a few of them first to get this done.

Back in the room, Nightin was holding the manual in hand as he read the main introduction page first.

There was only one absolute rule to follow as a student of the only Evil academy in this realm, that was to never harm others without a valid reason.

You can suppress them and even target them, but it would be a offence to even cripple them, not to mention taking their lives.

Orochi could see Nightin looking at this rule with furrowed eyebrows as he said "You must be thinking of asking where we gain our combat experience from, am I right about that?"

Nightin nodded and replied "Yes, it is two different concepts for a battle against other races other than humans, every race has their own advantages and weaknesses."

That's right, there may be the demon race which are always aggressive with destructive attack power. There are also races like those oceanic species which excel in water or those species which are renowned for their tremendous speed. Yet, none of them can compare to the cunningness of the human race.

Orochi explained "I know where your worry is coming from, but you wouldn't have to worry about that. That is because the Evil realm, is constantly at war with the other ten Overlord realms."

Nightin asked "If that is the case, then why haven't they invaded the Evil realm yet? Why would they allow the presence of it and allow it to grow until it overpowers them?"

Orochi chuckled and took out a map, on the map was a line and it was divided into hundred blocks, around twenty percent of them are purple while the rest are of other colours.

"You see, our Evil realm alone already rules over twenty percent of the cultivation universe, the other ten Overlord realms can only fight for the remaining, but none of them would even get close to us." Orochi explained to Nightin even though it was something which he shouldn't have knowledge of.

Seeing the chance for more questions to be answered, Nightin continued on "But still, why wouldn't they just collaborate and attack us?"

Orochi smiled, but didn't explain on as he walked away while gesturing for Nightin to follow.

Nightin followed in as he asked a few questions along the way, but Orochi didn't answer him this time and only walked on.

Haha, seriously though, this young fella is just way too amusing. I have to keep some distance with him on the way to the academy though, would have been fine without his orders.

Those were Orochi thoughts whenever Nightin asks him a question every few steps they walk.

What the hell is wrong with him all of a sudden, weren't we still joking about with each other just a moment ago?

Exiting the castle, Orochi turned back to tell Nightin "Follow closely behind me, don't blame me if you lag behind even when I'm just walking quickly."

Swoosh

Orochi dashed off before Nightin could react, but he was truly just walking and yet he was able to throw Nightin way behind.

He was making use of the lines in the space, he would always step on the two connecting points which would bring him forward.

Damn it, there's no way I can do something like that. Nightin cursed under his breath, but his Samsara sword still formed below him as he took off and chased.

"Hey, I am going to lose sight of you soon! You need to slow down!" Nightin shouted in desperation after just about three breaths worth of time, the distance between them was just increasing at a rapid pace.

All he can see right now is a man walking away from him, his crimson hair was the only thing visible alongside his eye catching robe.

I'm sorry young fella, but it's my job to train you and I'll be doing exactly that. Closing his eyes, his crimson long hair swayed along with his momentum as his fringe fell and cover his brows, a smile was plastered on his face as the snake coiled around his arm opened its eyes.

Scanning ahead, he noticed that there were two lines which connected further for another few hundred metres with just one step.

Damn, just where the hell is he? Nightin lost track of Orochi, he had suddenly vanished from his sight with just that one step.

He was initially only at an arm distance from him, but it gradually increased that to him being barely visible to disappearing in just five breaths time.

Nightin summoned his Life and Death swords as they took on the shape of wings behind his back, one of them was white while the other was black, just like an angel and devil which formed behind him.

Flapping his wings, his hair actually changed into the colour mixture of white and black, but his pupils still remained of an enchanting purple.

His skin looked fairer and if one didn't know about his gender, they might even think he's a female.

His facial features were close to perfect and one wouldn't believe one could have such well sculpted features until they see it with their very own eyes, everything about him right should only exist in a picture, how could such a handsome man even exist in this world. Universe?

Flapping his wings, his Samsara sword merged into the Phoenix sword as energy, his sword slashing the air aside to reduce air resistance while he flied forwards, the ability of flight which should be exclusive to only Martial Saints.
