Chapter 20: Secrets-II
Tom's dream:
"Go find our Lord! " The captain shouted as he charged towards the dark figure knowing full well that he was meeting his demise
"Noooo! " Ezra shouted but the roars of the wind silenced him
*Boom* Ezra fell down from the sky kicking up a massive dust cloud but surprisingly he wasn't hurt, Ezra looks at himself 'I am not injured!? ' he then look towards the sky and murmured "even at the last moment... he was protecting me " Ezra wanted to cry but he steeled his trembling hurt. "I have to find our Lord" saying that Ezra stood up and started running towards the direction of the main caravan
Ezra was running with all his might, what he saw along the way was hell, multiple black bones were piercing his fellow comrades bodies, his fellow escort warriors crying for help while struggling in a desperate battle. Rivers of blood and mountains of corpses overflowed the surrounding forest .
Ezra truly felt like he was in hell.
His comrades were crying for help but he couldn't help them, if he stop there to help them then he will fail the mission entrusted to him by his captain "Forgive me.. " Ezra cried while running with all his might, his friends were dead and possibly his little brother too, yet he couldn't afford to mourn them.
Countless such thoughts spiralled inside his mind and he finally reach the escort king who was fighting 4 shadowy figures by himself
"It's over escort king, just give us the vase! " A person wearing a Black cloak and a oni mask who seemed like the leader spoke with his hoarse voice
"LEADER!! " Ezra shouted with all his might to distract the enemies, he wanted to distract them so that the escort king can escape while they were focused on him.
"Who is this numb skull? " the person with the oni mask spoke "Go kill him" he ordered his underlings and soon a black figure flew towards him
"Perfect timing! " the escort king smiled and slammed his hands on the ground
"Heavenly immortal arts! Cascading Hurricane! "
"Shit! not good! " the man with the oni mask exclaimed and almost instantaneously, an enormous Hurricane spanning 100s of meter in diameter emerged from the ground destroying everything in its path, an entire area of 2 km was being uprooted and swung into the air
Among the spiralling dust and debris, a hand grabbed onto Ezra and lifted him up in the air
"Fret not! it is me" Thee escort king reassured Ezra as both of them flew away from the hurricane at a break neck speed
"Do you think you can escape! " the man with the oni mask showed a cruel expression. An enormous black bone of 20 metres in height sprung up from the ground and flew towards the escort king at lightning speed
"Golden cicada! " the escort king shouted, a golden cicada bubble surrounded both him and Ezra "Brace for impact! " the escort king warned
*BOOOOM*
The explosion swept the hurricane away and splitted apart the clouds
*Whooooosh*
Two figures were rapidly falling from the sky and crashed into the ground
*Boom* a huge dust cloud rose up
*Cough* *Cough* Ezra coughed as he slowly stood up, The dust was swept away by a strong wind and he saw the escort king plunging his sword inside the ground and Standing in a dignified manner.
His aura was radiating with majesty, he spoke with a calm demeanor
"Listen closely to me Ezra, the fate of the continent depends on it. " a vase emerged in the hands of Ezra
"Seal inside this vase is one of the demonic masters , the immortal Moryo.
If they get a hold of this then the entire continent will be plunged into chaos.
At first I didn't want to handle such intricate task but the Wu mansion Lord begged me saying that the fate of the continent was dependent on it so I couldn't reject him..
Sorry for causing all of this... "
The majestic aura of the escort king dimmed with the heavy guilt on his conscience
"I don't wish to be forgiven but please grant me my final request... Run away from here with the vase and this key, it's the only way to defeat Moryo! " the king handed Ezra a copper key
"Run and never look back, please survive till the end! "
Saying his final words, the escort king pulled out his sword from the crumbling ground and slashed at the oncoming demonic cultivators.
Turbulent wind qi covered his sword laying waste to everything his sword qi passes by, the ground was blown apart, the clouds split and even the heaven shook!
Seeing the lonely yet majestic figure fending off hundreds of demonic cultivators by himself moved Ezra's heart. He bit his lips till blood came cout, Ezra turned around and ran away as fast as his legs could carry him.
"Chase after him! " ordered the man with the oni mask
Dream end

Arthur's pov:
After killing the nightwalker, his system prompt were going crazy with notifications but Arthur decided to ignore it, why you ask? because he was exhausted, he used almost all of his chakra in the previous battle but there were still things that he needed to do before passing out like carrying Tom inside their cave...? the cave and the mountain was nowhere to be found as Arthur's previous attack blew it up.
"Fck it! " Arthur cursed and laid down on the ground, even his calm personality couldn't bear the effects of exhaustion.
Generally, lying down on the ground in the open like this is a very bad idea let alone a forest full of ferocious beasts but Arthur was pretty sure that the previous holy light blast scared all the monsters around here shitless so they won't be coming here any time soon.
Morning came and Arthur was full of vitality, the holy light clearly did it's magic, Arthur stretched his body for a bit and glance over to the sleeping Tom who was snoring as loudly as humanly possible, ignoring his snores Arthur checked the system's rewards
*Congratulations to the host for defeating your very first high innate realm monster! you have received 10,000 pts! *
"That's quite generous! " Arthur smiled wholeheartedly
*You can spin the wheel of fortunes !!! *
Arthur's face twitched, ' Yeah right, as if I will get what I want! ' but still it was a freebie so Arthur couldn't complain much, beggars can't be choosers can they?
"Let's see what you got" Arthur smiled
*Ding! the reward pool is 1) Shadow monarch: shadow extraction 2) God ki
3) Wood style complete mastery 4) Uchiha flames formation
"Damn! all the rewards are top quality ! tbh I didn't expect that. " Arthur smirked "Now let's see what you will gift me, spin! " Arthur commanded and the hands started spinning
*Ting! Congratulations🎉 the host has received Uchiha flame formation! *
The system congratulated and Arthur was genuinely happy too, with this formation, he can even trap 8 tails!
"Now for my other upgrades" Arthur immediately opened his system shop and there it was, the upgrade for three tomoe sharingan. Arthur immediately clicked upgrade and a strong torrent of chakra rushed into his eyes. A tomoe slowly appeard besides his other two tomoes then all of the three tomoes started spinning rapidly.
*Ding! 3T sharingan upgraded! congratulations to the host 🎉
As a bonus for achieving this milestone, the system has awarded host with all stats boost to jonin level! The host has unlocked 3 more chakra attributes! water release, wind release and earth release!*
"Jonin and 5 chakra attributes! that means I am pretty much a high tier jonin with my 3T sharingan!! " Arthur shouted with excitement "I am basically a 7th level innate realm expert eh" Arthur smiled
"Time to buy some new Justus and weapons but let's check the pts required for mangekyo sharingan" Arthur checked the system's shop and was baffled to see that it required 100 thousand pts!
'Guess I will check the jutsus first' Tom thought while feeling a bit down, mangekyo was still too far away from him but it kinda made sense since the awakening of mangekyo puts the user's strength on atleast kage level, it is such a cheat so naturally it was expensive.
"Let's see what we got here. " Arthur scrolled through multiple jutsus on the system shop that were either too expensive or too weak.
After deliberating for a while, he bought chidori, sunshin no jutsu and basic mud wall (cause mud wall was cheap) . He originally wanted to buy ftg and raikiri but it was way too expensive, and finally he bought Tengen Uzui's Dual Cleavers as his weapon.
During his previous fight, he understood that he was a nimble fighter who leaned more towards dexterity, his nameless sword or swords in general was stopping him from using his dexterity to it's fullest potential due to their long length of the swords that's why he chose dual welding, he wanted to buy dual daggers at first but the only dual daggers that attracted him were sun jin woo's which were ridiculously expensive and he didn't wanted to buy a nameless dagger which might break at the heat of a battle!
And there was another reason why he bought
Tengen Uzui's Dual Cleavers, it's effects were awesome!
*Tengen Uzui's Dual Cleavers: When using this blade with user's chidori combo, the cutting power will be enhanced by 3 times.
The base dual cleavers also provides +10 dexterity and +10 speed.
Special effect: Reduces enemy regen*
After seeing such stats, there was no way he could ignore it.
Arthur quickly bought Tengen Uzui's skills and immediately ran chidori through the cleavers!
*Chirpchirpchirp* like it name's suggest, it felt like thousands of birds were chirping at the same time. The lightning chakra covered the cleavers giving it an unreal sharpness.
"Let's try it then! " Arthur went near a giant boulder and causally swung both the cleavers in a X shape swing
*zzzz* a low hum sounded and before you know it, the giant boulder was neatly cut in 4 parts, it didn't provide any resistance at all as if the the cleavers was cutting through butter!
Arthur smiled in satisfaction and put back his weapon in his inventory
