Chapter 1067 - Wife’s Anger Is Scary
"Seven Purities Slash."
With moving alone, the sword created a rippling effect that would make the world unstable, especially the barrier Alex built earlier.
"Not good." Rilt thought as he quickly activated his strongest strength. "True Spirit Body. Eternal Light Body."
His eyes changed into silver color, glowing with the help of his G.o.d Eyes. A cross made of light appeared behind his body as one of them shone. "Four Light Authorities. Fourth Authority, Grace."
The sword"s energy wavered the moment it felt Rilt"s powerful light before the person in question took the hit himself.
He used his G.o.d Eyes to suppress the Spirit Crown"s Nature Energy while using his own light to suppress the Divine Energy and Life and Death Energy.
Unfortunately, the Pure Divine Sword Qi slashed the energy coming to suppress it as if showing its sovereignty. At the same time, Alex"s s.p.a.ce Element sent all the energy inside the s.p.a.ce World while his Pure Fire burned it. That left was his Absolute Blade Intent and Weapon Spirits.
Crack.
Suddenly, Alex"s Special Realm cracked before anything could happen as a shadow rushed inside.
"You two b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. What the heck are you doing?" Vina appeared above them with so many black patterns in her body. She was already using her True Spirit Body even though this was only a spar between an old man and his son-in-law.
It showed that they had gone way overboard with this spar since the real "ruler" of the house had made her appearance.
"Eternal Darkness." She waved both hands sideways as each released a powerful Dark Energy, shrouding the entire field with darkness.
Surprisingly, the darkness swallowed everything. Even his Pure Fire, s.p.a.ce Element, and Pure Divine Sword Qi could only uselessly struggle without being able to withstand the oppression.
Alex quickly understood that this was the real power of a Rank 2 G.o.d. This was far different than what Rilt showed this whole time.
The Absolute Blade Intent was the first to be swallowed before his Weapon Spirits stopped struggling and returned to the sword.
The technique that almost made h.e.l.l let loose was stopped by Vina in her Night Ripper Form, suppressing all the remaining energy to nothingness as if they never existed to begin with.
The darkness disappeared as the light from the sun illuminated them again.
Vina landed on the ground and looked down without saying anything.
Rilt gulped down and took a step back.
Suddenly, killing intent permeated the air as she raised her vision, looking at these two fools in front of her. She forced a smile while saying, "You two. Kneel in front of me right now."
Rilt instinctively followed her order and kneeled, knowing that she was p.i.s.sed off.
Alex was slightly late as Vina ended up turning to him and said, "You piece of sh*t. Kneel in front of me, now!"
Her voice carried a lot of weight as Alex also followed what Rilt did as if his body moved by itself.
"So, anyone wants to explain what happened here?" Vina asked after seeing these two in front of her. Her gaze was cold and her voice carried killing intent, freezing both of the two up. Even Alex, who was supposed to be immune to the ice element, couldn"t help but feel a chill down his spine.
"It"s his doing." Rilt quickly betrayed Alex and pushed everything to him.
"I can see that you were sparring, so who invited who?"
Alex pointed his finger at Rilt.
"What is the condition of the spar?"
Alex looked down and thought for a moment. Rilt was staring at him, threatening him to not say it or else he would fight it out.
Alex paid no heed and decided to tell her. "He suggested fighting without holding back."
Vina narrowed her eyes and looked at Rilt. "Any last words?"
"Ehm? Wife, don"t you think that I need to defend myself first?"
"Alright. Die." Vina stomped his head, using that power to bury him one kilometer deep underground.
Her rage couldn"t be stopped by burying Rilt alive as she stared at Alex. "You brat. You might be the Spirit King, but you should know that the king of this house is not you, but me. You know it, right?"
Alex shuddered when he heard it. People said that parents" anger was one of the scariest things in the world, and Alex believed it just now.
"Yes."
"Your technique earlier won"t be able to hurt him, but it will surely leave marks. With this kind of situation, there might be a chance that someone finds your ident.i.ty before the time comes.
"If I didn"t suppress it, the entire garden would be destroyed while a huge crater with this place as the center would be created. Not only that, your Sword Qi would make a deep slash underground, which might potentially create a chain reaction underground.
"Your Special Realm wouldn"t be able to take it. No, I dare to say that your barrier would end up in pieces in an instant. I don"t want to think about what will happen after that.
"I heard that you are someone using your brain first before acting, but where was your brain earlier?" Vina looked down at him, releasing an immeasurable pressure that made Alex gasping for air.
"I am sorry. I didn"t think it through. I just believed that father-in-law could take it, considering I am only a Rank 6 G.o.d while he is a Rank 2 G.o.d."
"As I said, taking it and suppressing it is different. This is like asking someone to capture a powerful person alive and asking them to kill that person. The latter is easier. I am sure that you know about this already."
"I was greedy." Alex lowered his head as if he was ready to get any punishment. "I am sorry."
She let out a long sigh while looking upward, wondering what she should do. "Since this is your first offense, I will let you off as long as you help me in the kitchen for a week."
"I understand." Alex repeatedly nodded, not daring enough to reject it.
"Alright. Since this matter has finished, I won"t pursue this anymore." She inhaled a deep breath and changed back to her gentle appearance and tone. "So, are your training done yet?"
"Yes. I am done. I will be waiting for Lin Xingzhi to give me a perfect world to train until I am a Rank 5 G.o.d. That way, I can speed things up." Alex nodded with a serious expression.
"In that case, let"s go back." She nodded. Before leaving, she didn"t forget to shout to the hole. "Don"t you dare to climb back up for a month or I am going to hate you."
"Noooo!" Rilt"s voice echoed as one could feel his despair. With how much he loved Vina, this was one of the hardest punishments he would ever think of. However, he was lucky that she only punished him for a month. If it was a year or even longer, no one knew what would happen to him.
Alex and Vina returned to the house with Anna and Anya staring at him with a weird expression.
"So you are alive." Anya let out a sigh of relief.
"What do you mean, Anya? Are you saying that I am an evil being that will kill my own son-in-law?" Vina smiled while narrowing her eyes. Her gaze was cold, giving a chill for even Alex, who shouldn"t be the target.
"No, no. Mom is the best." She quickly changed everything and began praising Vina.
Yeah, Vina was still p.i.s.sed by how Alex and Rilt fought. This was the first time she stopped it, but it also showed what level that fight was.
Anna looked at him and asked. "Are you injured?"
"No. The fight didn"t last too long anyway. It was only a few rounds."
"Yeah, a few rounds, and it ended up with you using that kind of power." Vina snorted.
Alex scratched the back of his head. "I mainly used my Sword, Spear, and Fire abilities. I haven"t even gone to s.p.a.ce Element and Array that much, so the battle might change after that point."
"You are planning to fight that idiot again?"
"No, no. Mother, I apologize for doing such a reckless thing." Alex let out a long sigh.
"I will just give you one piece of advice. After feeling your Life and Death Energy, I noticed something. I am not sure whether I am right or not, but that Life and Death Energy is only related to your Third Eye and Spirit Crown. In other words, you should not be too reliant on it unless you plan to reveal either of the two."
"I understand, Mother. I have no current plan to use that powerful strike unless it"s necessary. As for the Third Eye, it would be my trump card for the time being since I have realized that it"s a powerful eye that I have never seen before.
"The Death Energy allowed me to perceive someone"s intention and felt it all over my body. I would notice where they intended to attack me and so on as if reading their mind. As for Life Energy, it gives me the strength to use Spirit Crown over and over again. These two effects will increase my strength again." Alex nodded.
"Just don"t be reckless like this one. I couldn"t afford to have you ruining my backyard to the point it can"t be fixed anymore. This is my retirement house after all, but I think I will wait until Anna succeeds me."
"How about I use my Spirit Crown to open another Dark Spirit"s True Spirit Body, Mother? Like the one I did to Reila."
"I am grateful for your thought alone. People might think that this is the best chance to get their True Spirit Body, but I want the one who takes over my position to gain their True Spirit Body with their own effort. In other words, even if you use it on them, do it only after they have won the compet.i.tion." Vina shook her head.
"I understand. I won"t say a thing about this matter anymore then." Alex nodded in understanding. He knew that Vina didn"t want to spoil the Dark Spirits just because she knew Alex, but Alex seemed to have misunderstood the entire situation.
Seeing his expression, Vina explained. "That"s only one of the concerns, but I have one more thing to say. The fact that you are doing it for all your subjects, including the ones outside Eulja, you need to be fair.
"I won"t say anything about your blood-related daughters or sons, but it"s better for us to not take advantage of it just because Anna and Anya are your wives. The people won"t take it that kindly because you are just spoiling us. After that, the situation will grow into a complete mess.
"At first, I thought that you might want to have your own daughters and sons to achieve it by themselves, but we don"t know about the future, so I won"t say anything about this. Just do what you feel is right. After all, you are a father before a king. Remember this, okay?" She smiled.
Alex nodded with a smile. "I understand. Thank you for teaching this, Mother."
"Good." Vina then walked to the kitchen. "Now, let"s have you in the kitchen. Help me prepare lunch, will you?"
Alex quickly rose from the floor and followed her to the kitchen with a smile. "Yes."
After eating their lunch, Alex got a message from Lin Xingzhi.
[Alex. I have the perfect world for you to practice.]
"Good." Alex nodded.
[It"s related to Ragi, so it"s better to visit him since he will be the one leading you.]
"I understand. I will return after the punishment." Alex agreed. Although Vina wouldn"t be angry if he asked her, he wanted to be responsible and reflected upon his action, so he decided to complete his punishment first.
[Alright. I will be waiting. I will also tell Rose, Evelyn, Letizia, and Silvia about it.]
"Thanks." Alex nodded and continued helping Vina for the whole week.
