I really regret what happened to Fei, but I can't just give up and let Eros get the better of it. During my studies I came to discover a technique that would allow me to create my own Yin and acquire immortality without the need for a partner, however nobody dared to try this method, as it was quite risky and the preparations that would have to be made would be an odyssey by itself, especially with the enemies I made along the way, yet I have no other options.

Decision made, I go in search of the first ingredient, the extract of a lotus flower that grows in a lake enriched by ley energy, it is similar to a pressure point in our body, but it is present in the earth itself. There is one in a village on top of a mountain.

It wasn't that far, but the journey was not exactly easy. I came across the mountain pass with the twelve blades of the children of the scythe, a Mantis clan. It is an old story, a few years ago the daughter of the clan leader fell in love with me and asked me to marry her, I politely refused so she demanded a retribution for combat. She lost and honestly she was very weak, but persistent. Eventually she stopped trying and fell into depression, the rumors are that she died of heartbreak, I don't know if it's true, but the clan has been my enemy ever since.

The twelve surrounded me demanding retribution for combat, I didn't have much choice. They are masters of two-bladed combat, but I have my own resources. I reveal two swords, two soul weapons.

Soul Weapons are weapons that bind to the host's own life force, are very convenient, as they do not rust, do not need maintenance and they grow stronger as you cultivate, but the problem is that getting many different types in a short time can come to disrupt the future of your cultivation.

We fought for three days and two nights without stopping, in that period of time I defeated nine of them, the other three, however, were much more experienced and difficult to defeat, when we reached the limits of our forces they went into formation for an attack.

"War God Style: Sword, Heavenly and Earthly Destruction"

Three air blades that charged of energy fly towards me, but I can resist the attack with my swords and my own energy and apply a blow that dissipates the cuts.

"War God Style: Sword, 3000 Heavenly Cuts"

Dozens of smaller attacks came in my direction like leaves in the wind, I will not be able to cancel this attack, then.

"Water Dragon Style: Suiken"

I pass through the attacks with fluid movements, following a steady rhythm with those of the three Mantis, without hurrying, I approach them until I get very close for the next movement.

"Thunder God Style: Sword, Sword in Light"

In the next moment there is a flash of light and in the next the three Mantis fall unconscious to the ground.

It wasn't an easy fight, but I won, I didn't kill any of them, because that would only further fuel the clan's hatred.

Finally at the top of the mountain I find the lotus. As it was late one of the villagers let me stay in a guest room for the night, I accepted, but it turned out to be a mistake.

Even that night I was approached by a Youko who tried to immobilize me, I noticed her coming and managed to avoid the worst. I knew the girl, her name was Haruka, I knew her a good 600 years ago, she needed help to control her energy at the time. Some things happened and I helped her with the problem, it wasn't exactly on purpose, but it happened. Her mother offered Haruka's hand at that time and I obviously refused, it didn't cause any problems at first, but years later she came to me almost desperately, we fought several times. She remains the same, the same ivory skin and black hair as the night sky, but now she has nine tails, two more than when she last saw her.

Haruka: You stay sharp.

Me: And you remain bold and to make clear it is not a compliment.

I look around and see the village disappear, apparently she learned new tricks too. Not only that, but with help, behind her was a jabberwock transformed with the face of someone who hasn't eaten yet.

Haruka: Shall we dance?

Me: Do I have a choice?

The fight begins, the Jabberwock advances towards me in an onslaught, I absorb it, climb into her body avoiding the attack and Haruka comes towards me and we exchange a few blows, at the end of the exchange I can dislocate her wrist, which doesn't make much difference, Haruka is not as good at martial combat as I am, her real strength lies in her skills as a spiritualist and magician.

"Fox Style: Night Chase"

Several foxes composed of blue fire run towards me, I draw one of my swords and strike back.

"Water Dragon Style: Tide"

I cut to the last of the foxes and follow in sequence to attack. A wall of fire forms between us, I dissipate it with a movement, but that was enough for me to lose sight of Haruka. She was in an open sky preparing another attack, I needed to act quickly, but Jabberwock reacted and tries to knock me down with her tail, I avoid being hit directly, but the blow makes me lose the initiative. The monster sends a jet of fire at me.

"Thunder God Style: Divine Blade, Sting"

I go through the flames imbued with electricity and hit the dragon on her shoulder, narrowly missing her heart and making her retreat, for now.

"Fox Style: Lunar Wedding"

As strange as this name is, this technique should be feared, it uses the flames to impregnate the air with the demonic energy of the nine-tailed fox, I can take it for a few seconds, but most cannot even breathe without passing out from tupor, while that Haruka can attack freely. She wastes no time in making my life even more difficult and uses earth magic to turn the ground into mud, and now I won't be able to run either.

Haruka: So, dear, I think this time you will have to accept my proposal.

I don't answer that, it's just her teasing me to talk and waste the time I should use to escape. I use my sword for support and high heels in order to get out of the "Lunar Wedding" area of ​​effect.

"Fox Style: Hunting Swallow"

Small blue fire arrow balls fly towards me, I avoid some, but the rest hit me, I regain my balance and using my sword I gain distance with a sand curtain, then I try to get out of there, but either blocked by Jabberwock in her humanoid form that punches me in the stomach. I stop because of shortness of breath.

We both exchange blows, but I'm at an obvious disadvantage without being able to use any big blows. I wanted to avoid using it, but it is no longer a luxury that I am capable of. With a sword move, I release a charged cloud that dispels the "Lunar Wedding" and drives away the Jabberwock.

Haruka: Is that it?

Me: Yes, that's what you're thinking.

What I showed her is one of the twelve master weapons I collected over the years, the Thunder God Sword, the same one used by the first master of the Thunder God Style, I didn’t want to use it on this mountain, as it would take a few attacks to bring it down, but it's also the only weapon that would get me out of that situation so easily.

Haruka expresses concern for the first time in the battle, she gives the order to Jabberwock knocks me down again, but she can no longer do that, with a simple exchange of blows she ends up losing her tail and one of her arms.

"Fox Style: Gale Shield"

Blue flames form a tornado around me.

"Fox Style: Flaming Flourish"

It hits me with a bombardment of fire.

"True Thunder God Style, Cyclone"

I form a cyclone of charged clouds and dissipate the two attacks and almost send Haruka flying with the impact, I approach with a definitive attack, but she avoids a direct hit, yet she was hurt enough and tries to escape, she will not let that happen this way Once again, I chase her with the intention of taking her head off, but Jabberwock changes again and tries to stop me.

"True Thunder God Style, Sting"

Like lightning I enter the dragon's mouth and injure its throat.

"True Thunder God Style, Sword in Light"

I make several cuts in the space I am in until I leave.

"True Thunder God Style, A Thousand Brilliant Cuts"

The Jabberwock was cut until it became several pieces of burnt meat, Haruka still tries to escape, I prepare another blow to hit it from a distance.

"True Thunder God Style, Flying Ray Blade"

The lightning bolt crosses the sky in the direction of Haruka who cannot escape, however she still had one last trick, she gave up one of her tails and much of her power and making it take shape and created a substitute to receive the attack and so she survived, even if weaker now.

Now it was dealing with Jabberwock, an interesting fact about dragons is that they never really die, even if you destroy their bodies, their essence remains and it can get a physical body again, even if it takes years, usually a century, a Jabberwock is not good in manifesting her own energy then it should take longer in her case.

I concentrate the essence of Jabberwock in a single point and it forms an orb, after a few hours and I am purify its energy so when she comes back must manifest herself as a normal dragon, when I let it out of the orb, which doesn’t it will be so soon.

After resting and cultivating for two days, it was time to run after the second ingredient, a preparation of medicinal herbs that is quite easy to find and to make as well, the problem is that you have to let it age for 120 years, time that I don't have, but I know where I can speed up the process and that’s the problem, I need a necropolis.

First of all I need an invitation, you don't go into a necropolis without one, luckily I know someone who should know where to get one.

I went to my hometown, there lives a Hakutaku who must know what I need, her ancestor was my teacher centuries ago, not much of the best track, but it is the best I have.
