IDOLIZING CHAOS

To show you true fear!

"You are!" Aeries shocked face gave out his horror!

“I see you've remembered eh? There's no place left to run boy! whatever artifact you used last time won't work anymore. It won't be able to save you now. Why? because I've got the perfect bane for all Artifacts. Hahaha!!! "

Fuck!

The Youth in front of him had shocking cultivation of peak Ist Rank of Martial Great General Realm!

.

One would recall that Lhaw[1] was only at the Low tier[2] General Realm and he was this old. But that could be very much explained when the real owner of the body was an ancient being with knowledge from the far past.

.

To face him alone here wasn't what Aeries wanted, added to the fact that the Old Ancestor claimed to have something hidden under his sleeves.

“I don't believe you're still alive. Did you stay here to ambush me?" Was only Aeries could conclude.

Don't think too highly of yourself, the only reason I remember you was because you and I still have unfinished business. Or isn't that right?"

That's right, due to the System's timely help, Aeries have cut off the Ancestor's Soul from part of his memories... These memories had been with him for almost a year, yet throughout these times he never got the chance to open the Memory crystal.

'Right, the first mission is still pending. If he could vividly recall, it was to raid the King's treasury and was a D- mission.

Which could not be considered high me low.

'Accept.'

[Ding mission accepted. Time starts now...]

.

Aeries immediately pushed out. His hands now contained his Blood Axe, and add to that, Knuckles made from refined Star Gold... This had cost him a huge amount of gold - It'll be unbearable if he did not use it now.

One might ask why he did not battle The Trio (Chosen) with it. Although this weapon was a ranked one- It's weight was astonishing and its usefulness in a ranged fight was minuscule, if not void.

But against a one-on-one melee, Aeries could finally bring it out to play.

"Boy, you're awfully confident in yourself. To come at me with your cultivation at the— How could this be????"

.

Chan Long had greatly underestimated him, and Aeries fully exploited this.

.

Rumblings from the collision formed cracks that webbed underneath and above them. Aeries did not mind But jeered and fell in again.

“Don't underestimate me! Ghost hand!"

A curved blade with glistening Red materialized on Chan Long hand. Almost immediately the environment changed and a cold bloodthirsty aura filled the room.

'This isn't going to be easy as I thought.'

Another clash caused Aeries to skid through precious resources and crash into the wall. He grimaced for a split second but carry a blank look.

.

The same technique as when he killed those rebels but now more refined with an almost 10x increase in both power and speed.

[Clang Clang Clang.]

The jarring noise upset Aeries. From Chan Long's eyes, a wave of alarm could be noticed. This then turned to a look of determination... bordering on fanatism.

“Yes... This is the type of body I need to fulfill my dreams. I must rule this continent by all means. Come, serve as my footstool with your soul."

Aeries eyes turned glossy. Whatever Chang Long did had somehow managed to inflict his soul with pain as if millions of steel ants were feasting on it.

‘Could it be true? The System can't help me here?' Aeries thought of what Chan Long said. He insistently increased his Qi output but hey he was forced back step by step.

This wasn't some random cultivator. This was a being that probably lived some thousand years ago. He recalled that The Way of Finesse that he uses now was gotten from this Old Ghost.

"Give up boy!"

“Ahhh!!” He decided to stake it all to make leeway.

A boar appeared behind him and roared to the heavens. Different from before, it was plated with gold protection around it.

The already violent underground increased its tempo. Causing them to frown. Both of them had the same thoughts, 'This battle has to end... and fast.

"Go!" Aeries threw his Blood Axe with that command and watched the boar take off furiously with it.

[Bang!]

The clash triggered their worry. Cracks appeared all around them and smatterings of concrete fell with their magnitude.

Because of haste, Aeries had wanted to finish things quickly, choosing to transmit all his Qi to his Skill.

Thankfully, the boar did collide with Chan Long, long with his ranked shield... which got Aeries worried.

“You've managed to piss me off Boy. This is the second time now. I swear am going to dice your soul after this... Arrrgh!"

'F*ck, how could this be!' Left with no other choice, Aeries decided to steer far from the range Chan Long can reach. Playing the game of atrocity would be fair for him since he could use the time to recover.

But to his shock, he discerned that Chan Long had no intention to move closer... To be precise, it seems he couldn't.

“Damn body! With all the rare materials I fed you, just a flimsy assault could waste you like this. F*ck!"

The attack Aeries expended with all his Qi finally showed its fruits. Chan Long had nothing on him except broken arms and one leg - the other had been burnt to crisp.

"Don't be proud yet fool."

Aeries had yet to heave a sigh of relief before a Soul attack weekend havoc in his sea of consciousness.

The once calm mind was like a rolling lake, crashing everywhere and threatening to tear his brain apart.

What he fears finally came about —the system made no effort to thwart the hostile body damaging his soul.

A Soul Avatar of an agley 'Wise sage' appeared in his Sea of consciousness and smirked.

Just like the Red Serpent of Ancient Egypt[1] his mouth expanded to a terrifying point and like a hose, sucked in the void in him.

In the outside world, Aeries' screams tore through the third dimension and compelled ultraviolet waves to appear in his surroundings.

Of everything he knew, A Forbidden Soul Skill wasn't one of them; So the only thing to do was wait for death patiently or fight against it... A futile attempt.

“F*ck! I can't die! Screw the system mission!"

As his soul was supposedly engulfed by Chan Long, Aeries' eyes grew droopy and a feeling of sleep washed over him intensely.

‘I can't... close my... eyes’ Try as he may, he got even more drowsy to the point of almost letting go...

“What a pain in the ass. Before you inhabit this barely manageable abode... shouldn't you first have my consent?”

O-old Ghost! Aeries grinned and let go in acknowledgment... Though, deep down goosebumps ran through his spine as a realization struck him...

.

What would anyone think if they knew that Two aged, obsolete seniors were fighting over him... in him.

'I need a girlfriend soon'

... I'd then the world became blank.

————————

Meanwhile, Plaque faced off Chan Old... In Aeries *ahem* sea of consciousness.

The Old Ghost was inwardly face-palming himself while pointing condemning fingers at Aeries.

‘I was waiting patiently for him to finally shout for help... I could've shown my usefulness then. That ungrateful fool, he still never thought of calling me out till the end.'

“Oho? Another Soul Avatar... Was it you that obstructed me the last time? It doesn't matter, all shall bow to be the end—"

“It's time to nap... young pup. I can see you've fondled a bit in Soulcraft... A pity you met me. Come let me teach you a bit about modeling of the soul..."

'Bad!!!' Chan Long's eyes narrowed he couldn't help but shudder uncontrollably. Although this new master that came out from nowhere seems to just stand idly without lifting a finger... Only those well submerged with Soul Crafting would understand what horror this Master could coop on...

“How can this be! No one should have such sophisticated Soul Craft in this Realm. Only the gods can possess a domain... Just who are you?"

“Sah!! Let me show you what true fear is..."

If one could view the serene atmosphere down a height of hundreds of meters... They would be shocked to see a looming shadow resembling a great Leviathan gliding under the feet of the two old ghosts... This chaotic beast took almost a thousand meters and spread far as an eye could see.

The most astonished person that would've glimpsed this perspective would be Aeries... This was because he knew that monster.

It was the forsaken Time Monster!!!
