Thirty minutes into the forest...
Nightin was panting and it became a challenge for him to even keep himself conscious due to the exhaustion. Looking up ahead of him, all he sees is a cliff leading to nowhere.
Behind him was the Spitfire Snake, in front of him was a cliff of unknown height. Considering the fact that turning back or even stopping now will mean death, he still made the resolution to jump down.
Will this be the end of my life? Life is just a fleeting dream after all, hahahaha. Those were Nightin final thoughts as he closed his eyes for the sole descent of his life. His mind felt so light, his face smiling as he descends against the wind as his mind goes blank. But what he doesn't know is that a gleam of green light had enveloped his body at this point of time.
A beam of sunlight suddenly shined towards Nightin's face, waking him up from his "eternal slumber."
Nightin slowly opened his eyes, his violet coloured eyes staring straight into the beautiful black eyes of a young woman standing in front of him.
The woman looked at Nightin and shouted "Oh my god! you're finally awake! You've been asleep for seven days straight and your life vitals were fading. How are you even still alive after that fall!"
Nightin looked at her and chuckled "Miss, thank you for going through the effort to save me. As for why I'm still alive after what took place, I'm sorry about that but I will have to keep it a secret."
Nightin knows deeply that he can't let anyone know about the existence of this system of his. The system may not have told him, but he knows that the only reason he survived was because the system did something right before the fall.
Nightin asked the woman in a polite manner as he sat up from the bed "By the way miss, how do I address you?"
The woman looked at Nightin and laughed "My name is Yue Lan. I'm from the Yue family of Qing Zhou city."
Nightin looked at her, saying "I see,thank you for saving my life once again, but I have a urgent matter at hand right now, I am afraid that I will have to take my leave first."
Before Yue Lan could say anything, Nightin had already vanished from her sight. Yue Lan muttered to herself "As expected,he isn't a simple person..." Yue Lan looked far away into the horizon,with hope shining within her eyes..."
At some place, further away... "I only have one day left. I have to take action tonight!"
Nightin travelled at full speed towards the exit of the Nascent Mountain. This is made possible due to the help of phantom steps, if his movement technique had still been restricted to swift steps, there's no way he'll make it to the Rosa family in time.
With the sun going down, the moon made an appearance. Giving off a brilliant shine so dazzling that every light source pales in comparison compared to its calming glow.
Late into the night, a shadow dashed into the Rosa family, heading straight for the core area of the family. "The core area must be where the mastermind is!"
Upon reaching the core area, a figure appeared in front on him. It's a middle aged man possibly in his forties. "So you're his son? Did you come here to seek revenge? You cultivation may have been improving quickly, but you aren't the only one."
Upon ending his sentence, a powerful aura was released by him.
Nightin looked at him and whispered in his mind "Data analysis!"
Cultivation: Martial Apprentice ninth realm
Nightin looked at him in shock and exclaimed "How did your cultivation improve this quickly?"
The middle aged man looked at him and laughed while telling him in a calm voice "Isn't the answer obvious, I used the blood essence of every single member of your family ,in order to form a blood orb. However, don't worry as they didn't die in vain. After all, they helped me to reach a realm I've never expected to reach in this lifetime!"
Nightin's face darkens as his voice rose "You're a cultivator of the evil path! You're a demon, a demon who should be exterminated!"
His voice was still immature, but the demeanor of a young man was already starting to develop from him as he brandished his voice.
The man looked at him, a sharp glint within his eyes. With a grin forming on his face, he whispered in a voice so soft that Nightin could barely hear it. "That's right. You don't get a reward though. I'll be sending you to your family. Remember this, the person who killed you is Rosa Whiz!"
Upon ending off, he dashed towards Nightin.
"Die!"
That was the only word he said towards Nightin before forming a claw made up of spiritual energy, slashing towards him at full force.
Nightin immediately focused his gaze "You may be strong. But you're still too weak to be my opponent!"
"Inferno slash!"
Nightin slashed towards Rosa Whiz with all his might, gathering as much spiritual energy as possible from the air around him.
"Clang!"
A resounding sound destroyed the deep silence of the night. Everyone from the Rosa family rushed to the area, curious and afraid of whatever is happening.
The first person to arrived at the scene was a young girl, probably around the age of twelve.
Worry was covered over the girl's face,he shouted to Rosa Whiz "Father, what's happening? I'm scared!"
Rosa Whiz body shook due to the sudden voice so familiar to him which made him lose his attention for a split moment. But in a life and death match,one split second can mean everything. Despite wanting to dodge,his body felt too heavy and he couldn't move...
Allowing the heavy slash from Nightin slash him into half.
His last words were "Please spare the life of my family members...They are innocent and have nothing to do with this..."
Nightin looked at his corpse, before looking up towards every single person. He told all of them "I'll be sparing all of you today, if you all want to take revenge, be my guest. Remember,my name is Nightin!"
Those were his last words before vanishing from the scene, leaving a bunch of people looking at the spot where he vanished. Fear was covered on their faces.
In a far corner...There was a girl whose behaviour was different from the rest. On her right cheek, was a light mark the shape of a crescent.
Instead of being scared and worrying about their future. She only looked at the spot where Nightin vanished, whispering to herself in a voice only she can hear "Is that the strength of a true cultivator? One day, I'll find you!"
Before running away from the family...
At a cave...
"Congratulations to host for completing the quest! Due to the sudden spike in difficulty, rewards have been greatly increased!"
"New sword technique(Mystic rank):Phoenix dance!"
"Cultivation has been increased to the Martial Master!"
"End seal(low grade),has the ability to instantly kill off a Martial Spirit!"
Finally I've achieved revenge for all of you. Father, mother and everyone. Don't worry, I'll find grandfather who abandoned us and demand an answer from him, all of this wouldn't have happened if not for them leaving us.
Sighing deeply, Nightin lies on the open grass patch facing the night sky where the dazzling stars and moon are, laughing to himself as tears of relief flow down his face as he begins to wonder about the future he wants. He can hear his heart telling him "I want to be protecting others."
But what he doesn't know is that things are taking place in the Rosa family as Whiz body merges back together and with a snap of his finger, all of his family members regained their memories as they took off into the sky and pass through the barrier without any restrictions. The young girl from just now still thinking about the young man who descended from the heavens as she aspired to be like him one day... And one day she will as the weapon of the blood moon cult.
