Chapter 59: Training Zone (1)
After healing his wounds in the gray world, Hunter fought with Nakisha since he had promised her that.
Their battle was unlike their first one, as Hunter was more experienced and had skills, while Nakisha was naturally in her human form, making the entire fight more balanced.
It wasn't a battle of a man against a hulking red wolf, after all.
But even though it was still like that, Hunter was on the losing side as he couldn't properly see through all of Nakisha's movements, which were different from her blatantly hurtling against the towering ghoul monsters.
There was a wildness in her moves that Hunter had failed to tame…
…but not to endure, with a few pleasant surprises as his strength and Red Roses sometimes managed to draw gaps that Nakisha could only take head-on with her muscular body.
All in all, it was a fight that strained their origins, polished their teamwork and persistence, and bonded them closer, for Hunter had a beast within himself that peeked from his eyes from time to time, thrilling the red wolf about his future.
It ended with a draw, with both parties satisfied.
-
"You're probably naturally using Vitality Origin, mate," Nakisha said while gnawing on the bones of a meat piece she had utterly devoured, "Your persistence and that unlimited stamina should be connected to that, no?"
"Well… I've been strengthening everything with my Strength Origin, including regeneration," Hunter replied while stuffing his mouth with the raw flesh of a ghoul, bonding with the red wolf.
Which was him tasting her world while hoping she'd be a part of his world in the future.
Of course, it was a metaphor, and Hunter just wanted her to try things he would like to do in the future.
"Never felt your Vitality Origin?" Nakisha asked without hiding her surprise.
To which Hunter just nodded.
Understanding that it was a good time to try out that origin, Hunter shut his eyes and focused on it. Since his body was regenerating once again after the battle with Nakisha, he calmed down his Strength Origin, wanting to use the feeling of rejuvenation to find and touch the desired origin.
At last, he did… but the experience was unlike the Strength Origin, not even Blood Origin was the same!
Because the moment Hunter touched it, his mind was sucked into a black hole, with his consciousness being able to look at the Vitality Origin from a close distance.
Which appeared like the emblem floating above the black castle of the highest mountain! It was transparent and white, shrouded in a black aura. Moreover, the unknown language's white letters circled around the origin, chasing each other.
'Just like I don't have a mana origin… it appears I don't have vitality origin, but something else. Is this where my immortality stems from? If I turn into Dullahan, would something change?'
Since Hunter confirmed that the transformation into an undead expanded his origins and potential, he could only assume that his human self was holding back the power dwelling within him.
Which was why he turned into an undead race to see whether something would happen.
And it did…
…for a few letters going around the origin lit up in black color as though activated.
'A power is available to me… I must decipher those letters!'
It'd take some time as Hunter knew nothing about the history and old origins.
Would even the world he was living in have some bits of this old language?
'You aren't a vitality origin… you're Immortal Origin, and I will tame all of you!'
-
"Let's climb the first mountain!" Hunter looked at two beautiful spirits with a wide smile, "I go third."
Nakisha sneered at him, "Can't we just use Brandi's cloud to take a lift up? Give her some chance to gain back some of your favor, mate. She's all healed, and her powers should be enough to take us to the top, at least close, as the turbulent wind always stopped us before reaching the peak."
"Please, allow me to be useful, Master," Brandi straightened her back and joined her hands at the stomach, using her arms to bulge her already ample chest.
A sight Hunter couldn't really take his eyes off.
He was still a young fellow at heart, after all.
"Alright!"
After sending Nakisha a thankful gaze, to which the red wolf scoffed and turned around, Brandi summoned her dense purple cloud, expanding it so that everyone could comfortably sit on it.
She was about to hop in first and even raised her leg, only to back down and invite her master to have the honor of choosing the seat for himself first, welcoming him onto her cloud car with a low bow and drop of her chest, emphasizing her deep cleavage.
'Smart, so smart! She must have seen a lot of maids in her life!' Hunter inwardly commented before perching himself in the middle of the cloud.
After him, Nakisha jumped in, taking the front with her feet sinking in the cloud's softness, standing like a cool bodyguard with her arms crossed and the hem of her dress fluttering, drawing open the cut she had made on her hem, teasing her legs.
'This one is lucky and natural! Good for me!' Hunter inwardly commented once again, closing his eyes to take in the most of the pleasant experiences of the relationship building.
And then, Brandi seated herself at the end of her cloud before lifting everyone to the peak of the first mountain.
Just like Nakisha had said before, the real struggle occurred at the end of it, as the mountain didn't have plans to give the two exalted spirits a pass yet.
However, as Hunter was here, the fierce winds soon ceased, and the party of three could stomp on the first mountain's spire.
Which was flat and empty, only giving the vista of many challenges lining up ahead.
That soon changed as the two cave's mouths emerged from the ground, and their content stretched toward the spirits in the form of sharp winds.
It was a clear invitation for more challenges to become worthy to be part of Hunter's inheritance.
"This is where we part, mate."
"Yeah, have fun," Hunter chuckled at the red wolf before shifting his eyes to Brandi, "You too. Don't disappoint us this time."
"I'm no longer clouded, Master."
"You were never clouded. You just didn't know me."
