Chapter 1877 Ancient Sinew
\'What do I know, then? For one, we should have entered through random teleportation. That means what opponents I have are likely to be separated right now. It\'s probably in my best interest to deal with them before they can team up…\'
Ryu realized that since he couldn\'t do anything about his lack of information other than slowly take his time to gather more. That said, what he did know was that he definitely had enemies. Although he wasn\'t there, he was sure that Iam had sent those disciples following after him in.
In that case, there was just one thing to do. The only problem was that those disciples were supremely powerful. Ryu had never felt such pressure from people with cultivations so close to his own. However, there was no other choice.
It was just going to have to be a gamble. Did they have methods of dealing with this chaos that were comparable to his own? Or not?
Ryu took a step and vanished.
...
Kira tried his best not to move. Or more accurately, he tried his best not to walk or run around. At the moment, he was focused on putting a few droplets into his eyes, but he kept missing and having to wait for the droplets to roll into the whites of his eyes.
It was too hard to do anything in this place, but Iam was prepared. These droplets would allow him to see through what Iam called the Fog of Chaos, but it would take several hours for his body to adjust to what his eyes could see.
Kira was none other than the tall, lanky man with slit pupils. He had a much longer history with the Ruin Master Guild, but what was interesting was… other than Adlael, none of the youths that came today were aware of what organization they were a part of.
All they knew was that they had to listen to Iam\'s words. As for everything else? They knew nothing. They didn\'t even know the meaning of the emblem that rested on their chests.
Kira\'s expression suddenly sharpened.
Danger.
He felt danger.
But where was it coming from?
Without a choice, Kira ripped the cap off the small bottle and poured it all down his forehead. He had to at least be able to see or else he would be finished.
SHIIIIIING!
Kira felt his heart leap into his throat. He had grown used to being able to use his Spiritual Sense in battle. But now, he couldn\'t trust any of his senses other than his eyes.
He subconsciously wanted to block to his left, but his peripheral vision didn\'t see anything coming from over there.
His body twisted and his instincts took over. A tail came out from underneath his cloak and slapped out.
CLANG.
Kira felt something solid, and a strong force nearly sent him plowing into the ground below. But he was finally able to see what had attacked him.
A long, great-sword blade attached to a polearm that bent almost as though it was spineless. Yet, despite the pressure the polearm was under, it showed no signs of breaking.
BANG.
The two separated, but Kira suddenly found that the Fog of Chaos had returned. Did too much of the solution miss his eyes? No, that wasn\'t possible. He had just been able to see before, why couldn\'t he see now?
Ryu landed heavily on the ground, looking at his wrist.
Just now, Kira had only attacked haphazardly and couldn\'t even commit much strength to it. As for him, he had put quite a bit of power into it. Of course, it was still a probing blow for him as well, but the gap was… stark.
An expert like Kira wasn\'t easy to attack, at least not without elite assassin skills. Their sense of danger was excellent.
In addition, this place distorted senses; it didn\'t create fake sensations or erase senses. That meant that Kira could feel confident about what he was experiencing and didn\'t need to worry about illusions. It was just a matter of where the true location of that sense was coming from.
A true expert would be capable of making a guess based on several factors. If the danger was high, it should be targeted at a vital region, but not a location that would result in an instant kill. There were only so many regions of the body that that could be.
Just using a process of elimination and their quick thinking speed, Kira would certainly be able to make a decision.
Not only was Kira intelligent enough to do this, but when he separated from Ryu, he realized that the reason his eyes couldn\'t see through everything right now wasn\'t because of the world, but because of a skill that Ryu had used.
Understanding this, Kira\'s mind and qi thrummed. In a rush, there was a Domain formed around him and a pair of reptilian eyes appeared in the skies. Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
As expected, it began to clash with Ryu\'s Inner World, and he could actually see somewhat again. And finally, he could lay eyes on Ryu himself.
"It\'s you." Kira\'s eyes became frighteningly cold. His slit pupils began to pulse, and the air of a beast began to emit from him in waves.
Ryu saw through what this talent was in an instant, but he was shocked because he had never heard of his Bone Structure before. Could such a thing really exist?
Ryu looked through the Lines of Fate and found its name. His eyes couldn\'t help but narrow.
\'Ancient Sinew Bone Structure…\'
It actually allowed Kira to incorporate the blood of beasts directly into his strength. He didn\'t need their essence because his Ancient Sinew Bone Structure was able to distill and purify normal blood into his own Blood Essence. This directly gave him the power of beasts without much restriction.
He could refine the foundation of his Body Realm cultivation whenever he wanted, as though he had infinite access to his previous cultivation realms. It was like the Perfect Blackbody of the Bones.
\'A Bone Structure I\'ve never heard of before…\'
Ryu\'s gaze flashed. The rivers of this Ruin Master Guild ran deep.
