The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

Chapter 563 - ABSORBING THE INHERITANCE



NOW that Luo Yan finally solved the problem with Shurayuki, he turned to the direction where Shen Ji Yun pulled Dusk.  He was planning to just use the earring to tell him that they could come here now.  But when he saw that the other was already looking at their direction, he simply gestured to him that it's safe to go back now.

He saw Shen Ji Yun nod.  As expected, the other really did understand him.  It seemed that their tacit understanding had increased another level.  He was happy to realize that. 

Shen Ji Yun seemed to say something to Dusk and then the two started walking towards their direction.  Nearing them, Luo Yan noticed the juice stains on the dragon's mouth.  Looking at the piece of red fruit the other was eating, it's clear as day where the juice stains came from.

"Eating so messily like a kid.  I now believe that he really lost his memories," Shirayuki muttered beside him.  "Maybe his brain development also stopped at the juvenile period."

Hearing what the female kitsune said, Luo Yan almost laughed.  "Wasn't he like that when he still had his memories?"

An inexplicable emotion flashed in her eyes, as if remembering something fondly.  But it only lasted for a fleeting second.  If he wasn't looking at her, he might have missed it.  Then, her expression went back to normal again. 

"No, he's lazy and indifferent.  Interacting with others seemed like a chore to him.  Sometimes, he couldn't even be bothered to respond to others," Shirayuki answered.  "Well, at least that's how he was when I first met him."

Frankly speaking, Luo Yan couldn't connect the person the female kitsune described to the dragon they had known.  Dusk, for the lack of a better word, was a stubborn tsundere.  Like some kind of anime girl who would make bento for her crush but instead of saying that he made it especially for them, she would say instead, 'Here, eat this.  I just happened to make an extra one!'.

Maybe his personality was really affected by his memory lost.  Thinking about it, during that memory that Lhoris had shown them, Dusk was indeed much calmer than he was now. 

Maybe the personality that Shirayuki just mentioned was the result after existing for hundreds of years.  It had been honed by time and experience.  If one lost their memories, of course, their personality would also revert back to the personality he had during his childhood phase.  When he was the most innocent and still hadn't experienced anything.

Luo Yan wondered if that would change once the dragon fully regained his missing memories.  He felt that it was a bit of a waste.  After all, Dusk was just too fun to tease.

Soon, the dragon and qilin pair finally reached them.  Luo Yan then introduced Shen Ji Yun to the female kitsune.  Since the two still didn't know each other's name.  Of course, he also introduced Dusk.  But the dragon only scoffed and continued to eat his Mana fruit.

"Childish," Shirayuki muttered in an almost mocking voice.

Before Dusk could start another bickering round, Shen Ji Yun smartly opened up a new topic.

"What is happening with Eclipse now?"

"He's currently activating his inheritance," Luo Yan said, telling the other the same explanation that Shirayuki had told him earlier.

Shen Ji Yun nodded.  He kind of already guessed that.  Considering how calm Luo Yan was, there was no was no way that Eclipse was in danger.  So, it turned out that it was because of his inheritance – the very thing that they went here for. 

He glanced at the female kitsune.  From Luo Yan's introduction, this Shirayuki was Kagetsuki's sister which also made her Eclipse's aunt.  No wonder she looked a bit similar to Eclipse's mother.  Surely, this NPC wouldn't just ask them to leave the little fox here after the other successfully received his inheritance, right? 

But the possibility of that was still high.  After all, that Elementum was the symbol of the leader of the demon fox tribe.  Could they let the leader that they had just found leave so easily? 

Anyway, whatever the outcome would be, he would still be on Luo Yan's side.  If his rabbit decided to fight against these kitsunes, then he would just fight alongside him.  Could he still be afraid of a skulk of foxes?

"Once the power of Elementum is inherited within him, would Eclipse be able to fully utilized its power?" Luo Yan thought of asking while looking at the little fox floating inside the blue bubble of light.

Shirayuki shook her head.  "No.  Eclipse's body is still too young.  He wouldn't be able to accept all of the gem's power.  Right now, he could only accept ¼ of it.  But that would still make him still a lot stronger compared to other ordinary kitsunes."

In Luo Yan's ears, that sounded like her saying that Eclipse's level was still not high enough.  This was a game, so, higher levels meant growth.  "In your estimation, once Eclipse finishes absorbing the inheritance, how strong would he be?  Let's use the number of tails as an analogy."

Shirayuki fell into thought.  "Hmm, in my estimation, probably five tails?"

Five tails?  That's indeed a big leap from the three tails that Eclipse currently had.  Then a sudden thought came into his mind.  Wait- could it be possible for the little fox to finally able to transform into his humanoid form? 

He remembered that orange-haired and red-haired kitsunes.  Each had five and four tails respectively.  And both had their humanoid form.  Then what he thought of could certainly be possible.

Luo Yan suddenly felt complicated.  He wasn't sure what to feel exactly.  Of course, he was happy that Eclipse could finally have the humanoid form he so wanted to have.  But thinking how big of a blabbermouth the little fox was, he felt complicated again. 

And then, as if confirming his guess, the blue bubble of light suddenly brightened once again.  It was so bright that he had to squint.  He refused to close his eyes.  Whatever was going to happen to Eclipse next, he wanted to witness it. 

The shining blue bubble of light floated down.  The blue light faded slowly.  It was so slow that Luo Yan almost felt that years had already passed.  Then, when it was gone, what's inside was finally revealed.
