It was a block of land that stretched miles in every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a place where some players would go hunt down some animals and, occasionally, some monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also the location of Killua Temple, a sacred land within the forest of monsters, where it was possible to communicate with the dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon stepped up stone steps, leading the way towards the temple entrance, and his heart was quite erratic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was feeling nervous... There was a bad feeling gnawing at his gut... that whatever awaited him inside the temple was not going to be pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I don’t like it that Father told me to come all the way here... Away from the Safe Zone.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was dark, even though it wasn’t that late but felt like it was late in the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was all because of the tall trees and their branches that blocked any notion of sunlight penetrating the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Fang Raon was walking through the forest towards the temple, he did encounter some wild animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with a few sword swings, he dispatched them very easily, as most of the wild animals weren’t a match for level 3 players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon reached the top of the stone stairs and walked through an arched entrance of the ancient temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temple had few shacks. Stone-tiled ground. A few statues, even a couple of tombstones, were scattered around, but there didn’t seem to be any signs of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Fang Raon came across people, who were waiting over at the main building of the temple that was used to communicate with the dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aizen was kneeling before the altar, his head lowered in prayer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sons, Raizen and Raikou, were leaning against the wall with their arms crossed over their chests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna, on the other hand, stood up as soon as she saw Fang Raon arrive, and she gave him a quick wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aizen opened his eyes, then he stood up and turned around to face his youngest son, a small smile appearing on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Interesting place you chose for a meeting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s distant. We won’t be bothered in here. And I’ve heard a great deal about Killua Temple and its connection with the dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y’see, I was just trying to communicate with the dead, but it doesn’t seem like they are a talkative bunch. Nobody answered me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aizen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is he interested in the afterlife since he is kicking the bucket, or is this just another one of his acting gigs?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of his talk with Anna, he was being suspicious of everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway... We’re all here to hear your answer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aizen spread his arms wide and spoke, like he was preparing to embrace the answer no matter what it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon looked silently at his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Aizen looked calm, Fang Raon knew that it could change as quickly as the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve made up my mind, and... I decided not to come. I don’t want to come back to the Fang Village.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon crossed his arms behind his back and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh~ The cold wind blew across the Killua Temple and carried all the orange leaves off the ground and into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Tch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raikou clicked his tongue angrily as he thought it was extremely childish of Fang Raon to say no to their father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since he was dying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raizen looked disinterested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna’s lips curled down as she didn’t like the answer, as she would’ve liked for him to come back home with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was also now worried about what their father might do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aizen looked silently at him, and he leaned against his walking stick, which he used to balance himself straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to say that I am quite disappointed. It wasn’t that long ago when you wanted to come back home, even asking Anna to convince me to let you return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yet, in that short timespan, you’ve completely changed your mind for some reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aizen said curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was surprising him, and he wondered what could’ve caused such a drastic change in the attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother... Just come back. We all know what kind of dump that Megaworld really is. You’ll be much happier over at home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve made my decision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, what a waste of fucking time. I hope you enjoy your shitty life. Can we go now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raikou asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that it was useless for their father, who was a very busy man, to personally come meet Raon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Raikou’s opinion, Raon didn’t deserve that kind of attention, as he was simply a nobody.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truly disappointing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aizen whispered, and he then, with the help of the walking cane, stepped down the couple steps of the shack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like he was going to approach Raon, but after a few steps, he stopped walking and stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My children... Kill him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aizen suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It came as suddenly as a bolt of lightning, and it took everyone a moment to process what he had just said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew you wouldn’t take no for an answer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t a humorous chuckle. It was a painful chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I gave you life. I can take everything away from you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aizen said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"FUCK YOU!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon pulled out his King’s Shortsword, and lunged towards his father with raging fire in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hard Slash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screech~ With a screeching sound, Aizen pulled out a hidden blade from his walking cane and blocked Fang Raon’s attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do not need levels. I do not need skills. I am enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aizen said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?!?!?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon’s eyes shook as he suddenly felt immense pressure, and despite his strength, he was being pushed back by his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aizen wasn’t at the prime of his life anymore. He had grown old. And he was also dying, so he was looking weaker than normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was physically overpowering Fang Raon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t do that, Dad, please!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Silence, idiotic daughter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aizen screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung the sword cane, and Fang Raon got pushed back, his feet sliding on the stone tiles as if they were coated in oil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What is this crazy strength?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is not strength. This is skill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aizen said coldly, and then he slid the blade back to his cane and started walking back to the temple shack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My sons... Take care of him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said to Raikou and Raizen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t mind me if I do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a smirk on his face, Raikou pulled out his dagger and slowly approached the sword-wielding brothers of his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t handle them!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought, and he turned around to run away, but then his own shadow suddenly wrapped around his ankles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shadow Bind... You’re not going anywhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raikou said with a smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Raizen pulled out his beautiful-looking spear from his inventory, and he let out a bored yawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he leapt across the air and aimed the spear towards Fang Raon’s head and was ready to strike with lightning speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I am going to die!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure that Raizen emitted was crazy, even though he obviously wasn’t even trying, but he was one of the strongest people in the tower for a reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Fang Raon only had about a 5% chance of defeating Raikou, he had even less of a chance against Raizen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was most likely at 0%—even less if that was possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spear...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raikou whispered the starting words of his skill, but in that moment, he shot a gaze to his side as he saw something coming at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung his spear at the thing that was suddenly upon him and clashed with the sleek-looking shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get away from him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna growled as she pushed her shield against Raizen, and her overwhelming strength was enough to push him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raizen whipped the spear at the shield, and it sent Anna flying back, and she smashed through a couple tombstones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing, sister?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raizen asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you really think I will just stand aside and let you hurt my beloved brother? I will kill you if I have to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked petite and gentle, as if she could barely wield that shield of hers, but looks can be very deceiving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was, after all, known as Destroyer, and everyone who had underestimated her had paid dearly for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raizen was conflicted about what to do, and thus, he turned to look at his father, Aizen, for an answer to his dilemma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disarm her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aizen shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raizen raised his spear and struck it down at Anna, and she blocked it with her shield, causing a loud clang to echo throughout the temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground cracked around them, and the wind swept in every direction, blowing away the leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Raikou slowly approached Fang Raon while twirling his daggers around, as if he enjoyed tormenting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What the hell can I do about these shadows? It makes no sense that I can’t do anything against this skill!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought with an angry expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt like there was an answer somewhere to counter this skill, but he simply lacked the knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he found the answer... Maybe there was a chance to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>",1632,"2026-06-06T02:35:08.438Z",1,"novelbin.me","db6be308dfcf63612ba286bb09175b6bc62ef2136ee941d2e74c76f5bc3d751a","black-online-chapter-207","black-online-chapter-205",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fblack-online-cover.jpg"]
