Yun Che casually walked in the separate pocket dimension of the trial. The dimension has nothing to begin with. It looks like a condemned arena and he is walking on the center of it. The place was full of fire and no life can be seen. It is true the trial last him for a month in here and that"s why he a.s.signed those girls to guard the village until he returned. Not long after he started appearing, voices suddenly shouted inside him and those voices are not happy."MILORD!!! You gave sister Retsu a kiss just now, I demanded an equal treatment." Shirayuki said while puffing her cheeks. She"ll make sure to ask him from time to time and squeeze the juicy info from Retsu later.
"You refused our advances and makes a move on her. Oh, it"s like you"re asking to be attacked by us." Saru and Hebi said jinxing with each other. They tried to make a move on him from time to time but all of them are easily pushed away. Now he finally kissed a girl, looks like they need to top it up a notch.
"HAHA, THE b.a.s.t.a.r.d FINALLY KISSED A GIRL!!" Hoyuu shouted from inside while old man Zangetsu just nod.
Yun Che immediately sweat dropped hearing their antics. Then he heard another voice. "Looks like you"re having fun." The owner was none other than Jasmine.
"Well, I promised her a kiss. So, I fulfilled it." Yun Che defended himself. He admit that kiss was awesome to begin with. Why did Jasmine get so worked up with just a kiss?
"Really? Because I had to shield Mizu and Kaze"s eyes from seeing your behavior just now. You dare sully that sweet girl?"
"Hey, I made her a promise and I did fulfill it." He stops talking all of a sudden as if he was struck with realization. Then, he let out a grin and said "Ohhhh"
"What?" Jasmine didn"t like how he made a face and the last "ooh" part.
Yun Che simply said "You"re jealous. Aren"t you?"
Jasmine went red and immediately dismissed his question. "Whaa… Who in the world jealous of a kiss from a dumb, despicable, perverted and a rapist like you?"
"Like I said, you don"t need the rapist part. If you want, I can give one anytime you desire." He said while pointing towards his lips.
"One more word and I"ll kick that little brother of yours until you have no more descendants."
"All right, all right. I"ll stop." Yun Che wanted to continue but he decided to let Jasmine sulking in her own feelings. One day, she"ll be the one who asked more and more from him. Besides, if he wanted to do that, he needed his b.a.l.l.s intact.
Then, another voice sounded around him. Looks like this voice came from the dimension itself. "Welcome challenger to the Phoenix Trial. It"s been a while a challenger has appeared here. I am the Phoenix Spirit, Guardian as well as the master of this temple. On behalf of the Phoenix G.o.d, I seek to find an inheritor of its Legacy. The Legacy of the Phoenix itself. Many have tried and able to obtained the bloodline of the phoenix but there"s no complete inheritor to its powers."
Then the voice asked him. "Challenger, are you ready to begin the trial?"
Yun Che sat down on the center and said "If I pa.s.sed the trial, what do I get?"
"In the ancient times, normal challenger would get only a drop of the Phoenix Bloodline thus making them able to use the exclusive cultivation art from the Phoenix itself. The World Ode of the Phoenix. However, the trial also functions as a method to find the complete inheritors. Challengers usually pa.s.sed the trial with expected results but so far there are no spectacular challengers able to pa.s.sed with flying colors."
[Ding....Main Quest Achieved – Travel to the Phoenix Trial Ground Status: Complete.]
Triggering second objective – Obtained the recognition of the Phoenix Spirit as Complete inheritor of the trial.]
Yun Che looked the trivia last night about the trial. The trial consists of three parts of the test where challengers must face the three trials. Anyone can pa.s.s the trial but not all can trigger the hidden objective the phoenix G.o.d has set. Therefore, if he wants to be the complete inheritor, he must trigger the hidden objective and pa.s.s the trial itself.
The voiced asked him once more "So are you ready to challenge the trial?"
Yun Che immediately replied "Not yet. Can I complete a few things before I start?"
"If you"re ready, tap the center of the arena to begin the first trial." Then the voice went silent and the arena was quiet once more. The only sound he can hear right now is the sound of the burning scarlet flames around the arena.
Jasmine was back to her usual self before asking "So, you"re going to challenge the trial itself. Do you know what is the first trial?"
Rubbing both of his hands together, he said "Sort of, but I am going to take my time in this. The girls outside can handle things especially when Retsu is around. Right now, I wanted to complete one thing before I enter the trial area."
Jasmine looked at him curiously. "And what is that?"
Yun Che pulls something from his inventory. When Jasmine looked closely, he actually pulls four blue glowing cubes and place them on the ground of the arena.
"Oh, you had enough for another one?" Jasmine said as she suddenly appeared next to him. The temple didn"t eject her because it only works at the entrance. So anyone appeared in there is not ejected. However, Yun Che kept in mind that the spirit is observing everything right now. He"ll be fine as long as he faced the trial alone.
"Yeah, I wanted to summon one ever since the sect masters were destroyed but couldn"t find the right moment to use it. In the end, I can do it in here because I am totally alone right now."
"So what are waiting for? Get it on, I am more curious on the trial itself." Jasmine stood by near him. She was more curious on the trial because it is from the Primordial Phoenix itself. Why was the phoenix conduct a trial in the lower realms?
"All right, all right. Calm your horses." He sighs at her antics. He properly placed all four cubes on the ground before moving back next to her.
[Ding…. Four wisdom cubes placed on the ground. Initiating an Ultra Rare summon?]
Yun Che immediately pressed the b.u.t.ton [Yes]
[Ding… Initiating the Ultra Rare summon.]
With building anxiety, he awaits the process to complete. Once again, the cubes slowly float into the air and slowly forms into a single being. However, Yun Che"s gaze was widen when the cubes slowly formed a giant amount of energy before compressing into a single form. But, the thing is the form was getting smaller and smaller. It was smaller than the standard size of a man"s or woman"s body.
Yun Che as if knew the shape started to murmured "No..."
The form suddenly sprouts and two arms and two legs simultaneously. But the arms and legs doesn"t have fingers but instead small triangular shape fingers and toes. Another thing the figure suddenly sprout a small tail behind it.
"Nooo…nooo.. no…"
The head was slowly formed into a large head surrounded by triangular shaped mane around it. Finally, the figure was finalized with a yellow colored body, white fingers and toes and brown mane around its head.
Suddenly bright lights cover the whole arena as the process was complete and the figure looked like a lion plushy doll emerge from the light and standing on the ground looking at the despaired Yun Che.
[Ding…Congratulation host for summoning "Kon"]
"Yooo, IT IS I, KON-SAMA. Finally meet you….(SMACK) ARAAAA!!!!!" He didn"t even finish his sentence before the lion plushy Kon was kicked to oblivion by Yun Che.
"GIVE ME BACK MY f.u.c.kING CUBES!!!!!" He shouted before collapsing on all four looking depressed. Those cubes were collected by schemes and leveling up. To face the fact that it was used to summon a plushy.
Jasmine shielded her eyes before opening them and immediately heard his scream. She looked around and didn"t see any woman nearby. So she asked "So where is she?"
The despairing Yun Che was sitting down while hugging his legs slowly said "It"s not a she, it"s a he and it"s not even a human."
"Not a human?" She asked while being confused.
"OI b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you have a problem with me or something?" The summoned figure appears to ran back to him and when Jasmine looked at it, it was never human. It wasn"t even one. It look like a lion but it was more of a doll compared to a real and gruesome looking lion. Even when it ran, it gave out sort of a cute sound. All of a sudden, the summoned creature named Kon turned around and saw Jasmine"s beautiful figure.
"HOHO, it"s a beautiful nee-san." Kon suddenly jumped towards Jasmine bosom but instead...
(Smack!!!!) Jasmine immediately punched Kon"s face with full force to the ground causing the arena ground to crack. She recovered her strength to the Peak of Spirit Profound Realm. Something even a beginner like him wouldn"t survive. Yun Che was to depressed to think about Kon"s situation.
"Ahh, I felt a perverted gaze from him. I hope I didn"t kill him by accident." Jasmine said before connecting the current situation back to her brain.
All of a sudden, Kon rise from the ground as if nothing happened to him in the first place. Jasmine and Yun Che were shock once they saw this. Kon was a total beginner but he can survive a full powered punch from Jasmine as if they were nothing. He even survived Yun Che"s full blown kick just now.
"What"s all this? I wanted to make friends but you two punch and kick me for some reason." Kon said as if the punch meant nothing. Yun Che snapped out and had his eyes widen once more. Kon survived both full powered strike from him and Jasmine. What in the world is going on?
"What is this thing? This thing use all of your four last cubes?" Jasmine asked while being confused. She suddenly picked up Kon"s head as if he was nothing. She did notice Kon"s body made a weird sound when she pressed his head. Well, Kon was plushy after all.
It took a while for Yun Che to calm down before he rose from his depression and said "This is Kon. In our world, he was a modified soul created to support our gigai back in our world. However, he had a sad past during his creation. Since he was born a new in this world with a clean slate. You can call him a perverted lion."
Jasmine let go of Kon before he stood in front of them again. With a heavy sigh, Yun Che said "I am the one who summoned you just now. I am Yuuki but you can call me Yun Che."
"Hoo, you had two names?" Kon looked at him curiously. He admit he was quite relieved having a male creature with him. It doesn"t mean that he"s twisted. Being surrounded by girls didn"t allow him to be like himself.
"Sort of, but I prefer to be called Yun Che though. I"ll explain later. By the way, this "onee-san" you just tried to a.s.sault is Jasmine. She"s kind of my master and mentor." Yun Che said while pointing at Jasmine. Her stare was enough to scare Kon out of his wits.
"This thing doesn"t look strong. Are you sure you summoned it right?" Jasmine asked him regarding Kon.
Yun Che shrugged his shoulders and said "Don"t know, he"s more to a pervert than a strong one."
"Oi, b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Who are you calling a perverted lion. You should be lucky to call the Great Kon-sama for aid."
Yun Che had a vein popped out on his forehead and said "Lucky?!? This is the worst luck I had. All I want is big b.o.o.bed, beautiful and caring onee-san and all I got is a perverted lion plushy." His statement cause Jasmine sweat dropped.
"Well, you"re an idiot for calling the Great Kon-sama perverted."
"You"re the idiot."
"No, you"re the idiot.
"What was that, you idiot?"
Jasmine was really annoyed hearing them bickering with each. In an instant, she decided to do something drastic.
*SMACK
*SMACK
Both Yun Che and Kon lied next to each other when Jasmine knocked their heads. "You"re both idiots." She said while slowly sighing once more. She had to look after an idiot and now another one came.
"We"re sorry." Yun Che and Kon said while jinxing with each other.
All of sudden, Yun Che raise his head as if he was struck with realization. He turned to Jasmine and said "Wait, Kon wasn"t even a strong character back in our world. He was just a modified soul. He wasn"t even registered as a common character."
"So you"re saying…" Jasmine said and look at Kon once more.
"You jerk. Do you hate me that much?" Kon shouted while getting back to his feet and punch Yun Che with his tiny arms causing a plushy sound came out from his body. It didn"t even hurt but it was pleasant to hear.
He slowly stood up and said "No, you dumb-a.s.s. All I am saying is why did the system cla.s.sify you as a Super Rare character. It doesn"t make any sense."
Kon went quiet for a while before he too was struck with realization. "Now did you mention it. I don"t even know my own powers."
"Looks like you"re more than meets the eye, Kon. Let me check your stats to see what else you have in store for us." Yun Che was about to go into the system"s stats before he was greeted by stored notification. Most of the notifications he gets were merely congratulatory notification. Those notifications are discarded automatically but for important ones are stored until he decided to access them. These notifications probably came when he was too depressed to access it. Yun Che tapped to the notifications and it shows….
[Ding…. Congratulation for achieving "Captain Commander in Training" achievement. Summon two companions from the world of Bleach.]
[Ding…Host has triggered a special gift from the system for this achievement. Would you like to open it?]
"Sure, I just lost four cubes for a Super Rare lion plushy. What harm could it do?" He said while earning another bicker from Kon.
When Yun Che selected yes, all of a sudden, bright lights suddenly shines the arena once more. This time, Kon hid himself behind Yun Che"s leg to shield himself from the light. Jasmine shield her eyes once more. When the light dies down, Yun Che and Jasmine as well as Kon was shocked to the core.
In front of them was a young girl in a knee hugging position and was inside an egg shaped bubble. The bubble looked like a modernize and energized bubble use to secure the girl in floating mode. The girl appears to be unconscious and her body was smaller than Retsu when she first appeared. This girl"s body was slender as well as youthful and her b.r.e.a.s.t.s" size were considered moderate but it was still large. Too bad it is hidden behind her knees. Her long black hair floats inside the bubble. Her head was with slightly parted bangs. Her face had a young and youthful look. Aside from her closed eyes, the nose was small and cute. Her lips looked soft and smaller compared to a normal girl but by the looks of her unconscious face, no man were able to controlled himself if they were to see her in this state.
Kon"s nose went red but clearly he was excited seeing the girl inside the bubble. However, he was silenced when he saw Jasmine"s angry look. He climbed on Yun Che"s shoulders to see a better view.
"I don"t know whether I should be surprised anymore." Jasmine said while looking at the girl inside the weird bubble.
Yun Che was d.a.m.n speechless. This girl was gifted by the system. The reason she was a gift because she"s an artificial ent.i.ty. Not a summon from the cubes. This further raise another question in his head. If Kon was an artificial ent.i.ty like this girl but why he was summoned as a Super Rare? Then, who and what was Kon?
He was about to find out when this gift appeared out of nowhere. By the looks of her, he clearly knew this girl very well. Before he could tell Jasmine, the system had already shown a notification in front of him.
[Congratulation host for triggering the special achievement gift. The artificial modifiable ent.i.ty.]
