114 The Second Reaper's Retainer And Becoming A Grim Reaper

Vladimir flew towards s.h.i.+n and Hanzo, before stopping in front of the two.He look at the pair of swords at s.h.i.+n's hands before saying to the later. "Are out the one that freed me from my seal?"

Hanzo formed a mysterious smile while waiting for s.h.i.+n's reply. 'Let us see what kind of person are you.'

s.h.i.+n take a look at the swords on his hand before raising them up and replying at the Blood Spirit. "Are you asking me that, because of these?"

Vladimir nodded his head and wait for s.h.i.+n to continue.

s.h.i.+n shrugged his shoulders before saying. "If that is the case, then it is not me."

He stop for a moment to point at Hanzo before continuing. "According to this Old Man, you have already acc.u.mulate enough powers to break your own seal."

"All I did is to take these swords from the stone platform on that church. It may may awaken you, but that is in your berserk state."

"And this Old Man is the one that help you calm yourself down. In short, I didn't do anything at all, except for watching your battle."

Hanzo nodded his head repeatedly as if saying that he is satisfied with s.h.i.+n's answer. Then he turn his head at Vladimir waiting for the later to say something. But what he heard is beyond his imagination.

"I knew it! I know that a weakling like you can't do that!" exclaimed by Vladimir after hearing what s.h.i.+n have said. And those words almost made s.h.i.+n and Hanzo to fall on the ground.

"Tsk, So my plan worked pretty well. Heh! How can that ugly Demon seal me forever? I'm the most powerful and most handsome Elemental Spirit after all." said Vladimir while ignoring s.h.i.+n and Hanzo's reactions.

'The heck!? Did this guy lose some screw on his head after sleeping for a thousand of years?' thought s.h.i.+n in his head while looking blankly at the Blood Spirit.

Hanzo shook his head while smiling bitterly. Then he pat s.h.i.+n's left shoulder with his right hand. It is as if he is mocking s.h.i.+n. 'What a good taste for taking your Reaper's Retainer.'

s.h.i.+n do a facepalm as he release a helpless sigh. 'What kind of luck is this? My first Reaper's Retainer is an strong Old Man that is too full of himself. While I'm planning to take this narcissistic individual as my second one?'

Kuhum!

Hanzo cough hardly to catch Vladimir's attention.

"Oh~♪ How can I forgot about a Senior that help me calm myself down?" said Vladimir smilingly as he look at Void Spirit.

Hanzo is about to nod his head and say that it is nothing when he heard Vladimir's next words. "Anyway, I hope that you are alright. I know that I'm strong and you are quite old, so I hope that you didn't suffer any kind of serious injuries while fighting me. And I'm very sorry if there is."

The corner of Hanzo's mouth twitch after hearing that. And he became eager to teach this young Elemental Spirit a lesson that the older an Elemental Spirit is the stronger they are.

For Elemental Spirits, someone with an age of one thousand five hundred and below are still quite young. Especially for someone like Hanzo who lives since ancient times.

s.h.i.+n can't take it anymore and give up on taking this guy. He feel that he will lose his mind if have this guy around him all the time.He tap Hanzo's right shoulder before signaling him that it is time to go.

Hanzo look at s.h.i.+n for a moment before chuckling softly. "Hehe.... I thought you want to take him as your second Reaper's Retainer?"

And those words were heard by Vladimir. He look at s.h.i.+n with a skeptical gaze before pointing at s.h.i.+n and himself respectively while saying with a mocking tone. "You? Want me? To become your Elemental Companion?"

Then Vladimir started laughing loudly while sneering at s.h.i.+n. "Hahaha.... That was the wild dream, Kid! Did you hit you head or something?"

"Do you think that an amazingly powerful and super handsome Elemental Spirit like me will take a feeble human like you as my master? Hahaha.... That was an impossible dream, Kid."

s.h.i.+n rolled his eyes at Hanzo, since he know that this Old Spirit have done that on purpose. He look at Vladimir before nodding his head while saying to the later. "Yeah, Yeah. You are right about that. That is why we going now."

"Wait! Going? You are going?" asked Vladimir as he suddenly realized something. "Ah!? That is right! Why is my Kingdom suddenly become a desolate place? And where are my citizens?"

'Kingdom? Citizens?' These words sink in s.h.i.+n's mind when he heard Vladimir's words. He turn his head at Hanzo, and signals him to tell Vladimir what happened to this place. Unfortunately, the Void Spirit refuse to talk. No, he don't want to talk to this narcissistic Blood Spirit to be exact.

s.h.i.+n sighed helplessly before telling him what have happened after he was sealed by that powerful Demon. He also told the Vladimir that he already killed all the other monsters that are living on this place previously.

"D*mn that ugly Demon! I should have killed him if he didn't got lucky on that time!" cursed Vladimir when he heard the first part of s.h.i.+n's narration.

And he can't help but look at s.h.i.+n weirdly when he heard the later part of it. "You? Oh~♪ come on~♪. Don't try to trick me, Kid. How can you kill all the inhabitants of this place? You are just a Kid in his First Awakening. If you tell that this Old Spirit have done that, then I might believe you."

s.h.i.+n rolled his eyes at Vladimir and said. "Alright, Alright. Whatever you say. I already told you want you want to know, so let us leave for now."

After that, s.h.i.+n turn around and planning to leave this place as soon as possible. But before Hanzo formed a special gate, Vladimir call them out. "Wait! You are going right? Then let me come with you!"

s.h.i.+n and Hanzo turn their heads at him, before the former open his mouth. "You want to come with us?"

Vladimir nodded his head before saying. "Right! This place is already desolate so I can't do anything here. This place can only serve as my rebirthing place and nothing else."

s.h.i.+n turn his head at Hanzo asking for him the take over. The Void Spirit release a helpless sigh before saying to Vladimir. "You want to get out of this place? Unfortunately you can't, young Elemental Spirit."

"Why?" asked Vladimir almost instantly.Hanzo smirks at the Blood Spirit and said. "Why? Because you are also affected by the curse. Even of you are in the right mind for now, your Elemental Mana is already been corrupted. So the moment you walk out this place, that powerful Senior is going to kill you on the spot."

Vladimir already knows that there is a foreign Energy mixed with his Elemental Mana. But he still can't accept that he is going to become imprison on this place for the rest of his life.

He look at Hanzo and sneered. "Heh, so what? Do you think that I'm afraid of him? I'm going to beat him into a pulp after I get out of this place."

Hanzo find his words funny and said. "Heh! Can you separate a part of the Main World and turn it into an Independent World? If you can do that then go out by yourself and fight that guy."

Then Hanzo clicked the thumb and middle finger of his right hand, creating a s.p.a.cial gate behind him. After that, he jump backwards while dragging s.h.i.+n on it. And that gate immediately close itself after the two entered it.

s.h.i.+n and Hanzo appeared at the place were the dimensional gate towards the Atlas World will open. And there are still few minutes before the gate to open, so they sat on a boulder to wait.

And while they are waiting, a pool of blood suddenly appeared in front of Hanzo before it shot upwards and formed a humanoid figure. Moments later, that figure transformed into a humanlike creature, and it is Vladimir.

Vladimir look at Hanzo and asked. "Is there no other choice?"

'Heh, where is your narcissistic att.i.tude now?' Hanzo look at the Blood Spirit with amused expression and said. "Actually, there is still a way."

Vladimir's eyes suddenly turned bright after hearing that. "Really!? Come on. Tell me. A handsome and powerful me doesn't fit to this desolate world."

Hanzo point at s.h.i.+n and said. "Become his second Reaper's Retainer. If you done that, then your 'Heaven's Oath'(Contract) will suppress berserk nature of your mutated Mana. And that Senior will not take your life anymore."

"Che! Why would I do that? I rather die than to become that feeble guy's servant. And why are you serving him? He is too weak to become your Master." said Vladimir almost instantly.

"If you don't want to, then there is no other way for you to get out on here." said Hanzo while caressing his overgrown mustache.Then he added after some careful thought. "And as for why I'm serving him? Well I also don't know why. But I can a.s.sure you that he is an interesting guy. Especially his connections outside this world."

Vladimir look at s.h.i.+n and observe him a little. And after some time of careful thinking, he decided to take the offer. "Ahh!!! If only I killed that ugly Demon, then I shouldn't be in this situation!"

Then he called s.h.i.+n. "Hey Kid! Come here for a moment!"

s.h.i.+n tilted his head a little before walking towards the Blood Spirit. "What?"

"I agree. I agree on you becoming my Master. But! You have to promise me something. If we encounter a Demon named 'Balanar', let me kill him myself. And you should be thankful that an amazing Elemental Spirit like me is willing to serve you." said Vladimir directly, and not forgetting to compliment himself.

s.h.i.+n stared blankly at him for a moment before nodding his slightly. 'What the h.e.l.l is this situation?'

Then a glowing contract appear in front of the two. s.h.i.+n look at Vladimir and said. "I also have some rules. I know that you will not obey me at most of the time, but I need you to follow my orders at critical times. And one more thing, you are not allowed to talk if you are not going say anything important."

After that, s.h.i.+n signed the contract. Vladimir doesn't have any choice either so he just signed the contract.Then a bunch of System Notifications sounded on his ears.

*Ding!*

System: Congratulations! You freed all the imprisoned creatures inside the 'Independent World of Corruption' from their sufferings, giving you a full mark on your trial.

"Oh~♪ So this guy is included to my quest. But I can't say if it is a good thing or a bad thing." muttered s.h.i.+n to himself after seeing the system notifications.

And while s.h.i.+n is thinking about it, a Dimensional Gate appeared not far from them. s.h.i.+n turn his head on that Gate and said. "Alright, it is time to go back to the main world."

Then Hanzo and Vladimir transformed into small lights and circle around s.h.i.+n. One is a purple blinking light that looks like a firefly, while the other is a crimson light that is moving with a systematic direction.

After that, s.h.i.+n walk towards the dimensional gate and jump on it directly. Few moments later, s.h.i.+n is back at the ruined Altar at the middle of the woods.

And the moment he set foot outside the dimensional gate, s.h.i.+n heard a familiar voice. "Congratulations for pa.s.sing the trial. You are now a real Reaper. And you successfully become my first disciple."

After that, another batch of system notifications bombered s.h.i.+n's ears.

"Hey, can't I at least have an Ultimate Spirit Skill?" muttered s.h.i.+n as saw the names of the skill that he got.

"You wis.h.!.+ Do you think that you are strong enough to wield those skills?" said Hanzo when he heard s.h.i.+n's muttering.

"Heh, You are not worthy enough to have the Ultimate Skills of this amazing Elemental Spirit, feeble human." said Vladimir.

'What an interesting pair of Spirits?' Kentas chuckles softly when he heard those words. Then he said at s.h.i.+n. "Hey, Kid. You better go back to the Church of the Sun and the Moon to complete your ceremony. And I'll look for you when you are ready to take your Third Awakening."

After that, Kentas disappeared completely, leaving s.h.i.+n in that ruined Altar. s.h.i.+n release a helpless sigh when he saw that. But he still formed a satisfied smile when he look at his gains. And they are quite many and amazing this time around.
