The Soul Cultivator

Tale 63

*Thud* Landing ko sa likuran ng bangka nila.

"Waahh!" Sigawan nila na ikinatawa ko.

"Bwahahaha!" Turo ko sa kanila na mga naka hawak sa kanilang Spears.

"Zero?! Not funny!" Sigaw ni Can na ikinatigil ko.

They looked tense, are they still thinking about what happened to them?

"So- sorry, we were just having a serious conversation before you pop out of nowhere- wh- when did you found us?" Can

"I just heard uncle Ran's voice so I followed it, I didn't clearly heard it though..." Saad ko habang pinakikiramdamang lumapag si Lord Axcel sa aking tabi.

"Lord Axcel..." Bati ni Man.

"That's the first time I heard you call one of us uncle, weird but I kinda like it!" Ngiti ni Ran bago ako yakapin.

Napansin ko namang medyo may kinang ng liwanag sa mga mata ni Man, he must've used his Craft?...

"Don't worry hindi galit sayo si uncle Can mo, we just have a heated conversation that's it!" Bulong saakin ni Ran bago niya ako nilapit kay Can.

"Ahem!" Rinig kong fake cough ni Man.

"S- sorry... *Inhale* Can I ask you a question?" Can

"Y- yes?" Sagot ko bago hinanda ang aking sarili, I know this has something to do with the real me!

"Are you willing to meet your father in his worse state?" Can

"Of course, I don't mind if he's an Undead. This may sound weird but even thoug I never knew him, I am willing to end whatever misery he's in!" Ngiti ko sa kaniya, I think I kinda have this idea already because that's what I heard from man earlier!

"You really are his son!" Tanging nasabi ni Can.

I'm sorry but I am not! I will continue this charade until I figure out who's The Undead, I will be the one who'll end whoever is using my name and face in vain!

"Tungkol nga po pala duon sa lalaking nakita mo Ran na kamukha ni 2nd Zen, that might be the work of that woman!" Saad ko na ikinalingon nila.

"Then we must finish this mission quick so we can get answers from that woman herself!" Man

"Good, because we need your Sight to figure out JinLe's location!" Lord Axcel

"On it!" Saad ni Man at biglang umilaw ang kaniyang mga mata, he scanned the entire forrest and pointed in front of the boat.

"Where?" Dali dali kong takbo papuntang dulo ng bangka at hinanap ang tinuturo ni Man.

"A dark purple smoke is coming out of that falls, there must be a cave behind it!" Saad ni Man bago bumalik sa dati ang kaniyang mga mata.

"Thanks, Lord Axcle's knights and 1st Jin is waiting up on JinUa's entrance. We'll lure JinLe out and prepare our plan!" Saad ko bago ako buhatin ni Lord Axcel paalis ng bangka.

*Wchwchwchwchwch* Water fall sound...

"Open your eyes." Rinig kong bulong ni Lord Axcel sa aking tenga.

"Woah!" Tanging salitang lumabas sa aking bibig ng mapagmasdan ang isang napakalaking kuweba sa likuran ng talon ng Jin.

"This is the place where the Immortal God Jin used to gather all his subordinates, it used to be a very holy place... Now look what my son did!" Rinig kong saad ng nanghihinang Elder Jin Sei!

"Elder Jin!" Axcel immediately walk towards Elder Jin Sei.

I followed him and observed the surroundings, it seemed so well kept but you can feel the very powerful stench coming out from the very inside of the cave!
