As the black mist dissipates Arden takes Emilia and the unknown man under his arms carrying both their weight with ease. The large man groans but is ignored by Arden who thinks 'Excellent I've finally found a worthy rival'. A few seconds later a woman garbed in a black ninja outfit appears, she turns to Arden "Why didn't you give chase to him?" Arden shrugs while saying "I cant beat him in a one on one fight, he evaded me when I tried to slash him and he'll now be wary of pursuers. We should just go back so these two can get treated". She nods once then carries the large man. Seeing the drill like wound in his stomach a low hiss comes out of her lips as anger flares in her eyes. "You take them back yourself, a squad is coming to assist you which comprise of four people, one will carry Emilia and the other 3 will assist me". Immediately after she disappears, her body moving at rapid speeds to where the attacker went. As Arden watches her go he thinks 'I hope he doesnt get killed, it would be such a pity. I wonder if this big dunce Alec will die?'. Then he sits on the ground thinking 'Wanderer you must survive this encounter and become far stronger than you are now'.

I rapidly run at full speed, well fly would be a better term. Then suddenly I'm enveloped by killing intent so brutal that my whole body turns cold. My face turns unsightly as I think 'Well fuck me, must be the sister he talked about'. I stop abruptly landing on the ground which breaks apart due to the speed of my flight. I pivot on my foot facing the focus of the killing intent which rapidly comes straight for me, the grass moves wildly under the pressure they cause. I see a woman clad in a black ninja outfit, her eyes bloodshot with rage, without speaking she draws 2 long daggers and gets into a fighting stance. I lower myself into the horse stance and see a notification [User has acquired dao of the spear. Offence Dao order is as follows: 1. Dao of the spear. 2. Dao of the fist 3. Dao of the sword]
I bring out a bundle of cream coloured cloth which is wrapped around a weapon 6ft long. I harshly tug a the cloth until I see my spear. It is gleaming ebony with blood red wards carved into its shaft and spear point as well as the butt of the spear. I drop the overcoat and charge her. My spear is thrust out aiming for her forehead and I release my killing intent as well. She blocks my first strike with difficulty with her left blade while striking at my side with her right blade. I backtrack dodging to her right as I unleash my 100% aura and charge again. I pivot on my left foot when I'm behind her and she slashes at empty air as I embed my spear-tip into her rib cage. I swiftly roll backwards as her blade again meets empty air. She grunts as blood flows out of her wound. Then she unleashes her aura and then she's behind me aiming to skewer my brain and spinal cord. I spin around bringing my shaft around aiming to hit her side, With no other option she blocks with both blades but I hear a loud crack as the bones in her forearms crack. 'Hmph, now to end this'. I change my fighting style to brutal fluid attacks. I slash 5 times at her stomach, they appear as if they are one movements and I slightly change the position of my hands with each slash. She blocks 2 and staggers back heavily. I dont let up as I keep attacking her, I attack her left side with the spear shaft again and she screams as her bones are further shattered. Using that moment I charge at her eye. [One thrust kills all] Red aura accumulates on my spear tip and my spear rapidly moves towards her, she digs her feet in the ground and moves her upper body turning it her left and shifting her body to the right. My attack causes a scar on the right side of her face. 'That was a feint imbecile'. My left foot digs heavily into the earth and I pivot as I kick her with my right in the solar plexus, I hear multiple bones shatter and I thrust with my spear breaking some of the bones in her rib cage. A huge chunk of blood as well as organs spew from her mouth as she staggers back heavily, then falls to the ground. I walk to her slowly then crouch down as I whisper into her ear "Come after me again and I will kill you". I stand and feel the pressure of 3 powerful people 'Dammit, that must be a mere part of their squad, I'll hide'. my body disappears as I activate [Cloaking] I send out a clone before I move 10m away from her body. A few seconds later 3 figures appear, two women and a man, all appear to be in their early 20's, and all are good looking. Seeing her prone body on the ground the man howls in anger, his features twisting in a gruesome fashion. His teeth gnash as he curses and sees her injuries. After inspection one of the women say "Both her forearms are broken, as well as 18 ribs, her right thigh bone is damaged along with her left foot. Her organs are also badly damaged. She may not be at 100% even with our best medicines, to be honest even if she survives she may be crippled for the rest of her life...Whoever did this...they are calculating and cold, as well as cunning" She sniffs the air, her long blonde hair moving slightly. "They did this with a bladed weapon, maybe a spear, sword or dagger. They are also an expert in torture" The rate at which she sniffs increases, then she stops suddenly and looks straight in my eyes, her jade eyes piercing my very soul. I try to move but her gaze pins me to place. Cold sweat drips down my forehead as I think 'Shit, shit, shit'. Her body shimmers and she's behind me. I quickly change into a normal shirt and jeans before her arms wrap around me and force me out of stealth mode. I attempt to struggle but I cant even twitch. Her arms tighten and I grunt in pain. The man garbed in black robes walks toward me with a twisted look on his face and says "Well, well little bro. Today seems to be your unlucky day because I need an outlet for my anger". He stands in front of me but I dont look up at him. He puts his right hand under my chin and slowly brings my head up to face him. He says "My name is Jin little bro. What happened here? Do you know who attacked my little sister?" I nod once and tell him "Yes, I was hiding here and saw some man in an overcoat and trousers attack this innocent girl. The man was flying in this direction quickly covering ground but then he stopped and turned. Then the girl appeared behind him and drew out 2 daggers and advanced on him. Being weak I didnt dare interfere with those seniors when they were fighting, even though he was stronger that demonic creature didnt give her ground and just keep slashing and pounding at her until she was in this state you see now. Then he crouched down and whispered something to her before flying away again". His left hand tightened as he hears my story, then he says "What did he tell her?". I appear to be lost in thought then with my eyebrows raised I ask him "If I tell this senior the truth he wont hurt me?" He nods "Of course I wont". I tell him "He said 'Stupid skank, come after me again and I will kill your whole family..but not before I screw your sisters and mother' " The veins in his neck, forehead and arms bulge furiously, to the point that his fair skin looks like it has purple snakes writhing underneath. Jin lets go of my chin and sighs deeply. Then he looks to his companion and says "Sandra let him go". Her arms linger for a few seconds then she lets go. Jin hands me a small bag which I take. He extends his hand and rubs my head saying "Sorry for the trouble...So what way did that fucker go?". I point to my left, Jin runs first then the woman with black hair. Sandra looks at me with what I believe to be anger for a few seconds then she runs too. I raise my middle finger to her back as she runs. I turn to the girl lying on the ground which they left behind and walk over to her putting my hand on her forehead. She's burning up fast and without treatment may die. I crouch down next to her before producing a light green pill from my inventory: Its the weakest pill in my inventory which I only made one because of its impotence. Without warning the three figures reappear around me and Jin says "What is that?" I reply calmly "A healing pill" Then pop it into her mouth. Ninja girl regains her faculties and when she sits up I put my arm around her back. She attempts to spit it out but I clamp my hand on her mouth forcefully hissing to her "Dont you dare spit it out". She reluctantly swallows the pill and is healed almost immediately but for a protruding rib bone which I yank out. Ninja girl gasps but the bone grows once more, all her wounds are fully healed and her clothes are fully repaired. I turn seeing that Jin's mouth is wide open as well as the black haired woman's mouth. Sandra pounces on me gripping my forearms and straddling my stomach. Then Sandra says "Become our healer". In my mind I snort 'HAA! I'll pass'. Ninja girl bows to me and respectfully says "Thank you for saving me"(I changed my face when I went into the forest, and now its back to normal). Jin angrily pulls Sandra off me and helps me up clasping my hand. He doesnt let go as he smiles at me. Then he suddenly kowtows to me saying "Thank you for saving her life brother. I am now in your debt, ask whatever you want". I hurriedly drag him to his feet and smile "Dont worry about it" He grabs my shoulders, his face frantic but he soon calms down and nods. He touches my forehead with his index finger and I feel a soothing strand of will enter my soul and he says "That is some of my will, think of it as a bell that you can ring when you need me". I nod Ninja girl says "I am also in your debt, my name is Katara. Call if you even need me for anything". I nod and tell Katara "Dont move around too much for a few minutes so you dont open any wounds again" Katara nods and asks my my own name "Its Jay" I bow to them all then start walking to the nearest town without giving them a backward glance.
When they believe I'm out of earshot Sandra looks at Jin and says sourly "I could have made him join us, but now we wont get his healing skills and medicines" Jin snorts "No. I owe him a debt...and besides I feel some queer energy coming off of him. He most likely has a few powerful backers and masters which we cant offend yet"

I find a town and walk around and through it confusing any people who are following me. After about 30 runs I go into an inn. I eat a filling bowl of stew and chicken then retire to my room. I ward the area around my bed and have Terrrordragon stand guard over my body as I sleep....
I wake up with no nightmares and stare up at 10am seeing the blue skies as I sit up and admire the view for a few seconds before turning to Terrordragon who stands facing me with a tray in his hands. He hands me the tray and I thank him. "Master, the human girl who brought the food shook in her boots when she saw my face. Che" I laugh at that telling him "Choose a less scary face then". I devour the food quickly then dress in a plain shirt and jeans. Terrordragon curls up my arm and I teleport to Aradon's house. He's in the kitchen grinning at me when I appear. He hands me a cup of tea which I take "Well well, my student has come back". I shrug and a bright light goes through Aradon's eyes "I got what you asked for..all of it of course. The ghoul organs, blood and bone material were harder to acquire though". I tell him "I wanna do a soul rebirth, gimme all the chaosworlds you have". His face contorts in pain as he groans "You brat! You think its easy to get those things??" I tell him I'll pay with interest but he just shrugs "Dont worry...youre not the foolish type so you must have read this in advance..I have around a million chaosworlds and I'll give you them all". He walks towards me whispering "You see, most people do it with just one and it gives decent power..but the more you do it with the more your power rises and from what I know the max amount I've seen someone absorb is 1000".
[Authors Note: Think of a Chaosworld as a medium or large world].
I consider my next words then ask "Chaosverses would be better though, if you can spare them". He looks at me seriously and says "You woudnt be able to handle it yet, and besides that even at your 100% output even with your gold body you can only release maybe 0.05 power". I nod and we're transported to a field. I look to see large chaosworlds hovering in the air and I soon lose count at the number of them. Aradon says with a smirk "They are also of the highest quality unlike others so you'll get the best energy from them". I draw all my clones in dematerialising then to pure energy before absorbing them into myself. I breathe in and out then start the soul rebirth. I close my eyes feeling the presence of multiple world above me and feel my body slipping away, my body gradually crumbles away to nothing leaving my soul sitting in the lotus position. I create threads of pure energy linking hundreds of chaosworlds then I begin to draw them into myself as I create a new body. It looks exactly like the human body I've used with no alterations but I feel the sheer power and lightness of it as the body takes shape. After a few moments the body is created and I move onto nourishing the soul linking more chaosworlds to myself and rapidly drawing them in. I feel a light tingling as the chaosworlds are absorbed which turns to a light itch, an irksome itch then slight pain in my chest which increases slowly to the point that blood comes out of my right nostril. I nod once moving back to my body linking even more chaosworlds and absorbing them in a flurry as they quickly descend. After 5 minutes I breathe heavily and sweat streams all over my body. Aradon nods at the sight of me saying "Good, you've used almost all of them, just a scant few remain which you should keep for future use". He walks over to me and hands me a small circular ball which he says I should eat. I see that light and lightning spark across its surface as well as other elements. I swallow it and feel fire run down my throat as the pill dissolves and settles in my stomach, after a few seconds the pain subsides into a cool feeling. I raise my eyebrows and the Black Wizard replies "Its an artificial orb which I designed. I only made 2 which now settle in me and you. Yours of which I kept refining and adding energy to until now, its use is to store magic for the user. Magicians can only take energy from their surroundings but wizards and witches can use their own supply inside of them in the form of mana". I ask him, just out of curiosity "Is there anyone you fear?" He coughs once then says "Yes..Kate which you've met and my older sister". I raise my eyebrows again and he coughs three times "They call her the Witch of Slaughter. I just call her old evil hag". A grin slowly comes to my face before I feel a sense of alarm a distance away from the house. Sensing my alarm Aradon asks "Need me?" I shake my head as I stand and materialize dozens of clones and send all but one into my estate world for weapon forging, Dao and technique meditation. Aradon hands me a black backpack which I open and divide the information in it to my clones who quickly send me back information. I nod and my body disappears reappearing on an operating table as my clone heads towards the sense of danger. A clone in a black and red cloak wearing a medical mask leans over me inspecting the bag for the materials I need. 4 organs, blood so dark it looks black is placed in 2 large canisters and lastly a large orb which appears metallic and has a slight silvery sheen to it. My body is split vertically from stomach to chest and I'm opened up. The kidney, liver, spleen and pancreas are quickly transplanted, then my bones and blood implode as my body soak up the blood in the canisters and the orb takes liquid form as it invades my body. My body rapidly closes after the new additions to my body. I sit up slowly and clench my right fist, I feel the metallic liquid settle and form my skeleton and the blood settles in my body nourishing my skin, making it stronger and more resilient. Once I feel that the blood circulates normally and that the bones are set I stand up and switch places with the pursuing clone.
