'I guess I'll have to worry about them in the future.' Gale put this matter off for later and focused on what he came here for.
He looked at the squirming body of Nakal, which still wasn't healed, and from the looks of it, it might take much longer or he needed some healing pills.
'You dare to put your eye on my woman…it is unfortunate that I couldn't kill you fully with my own hands, but…' Gale dashed before Nakal's body in seconds, He took out a spear and glared down at Nakal. 'It doesn't matter; this might also count as killing you with my own hands.'
Puchi!
Gale's spear was easily able to pierce through Nakal's head as he was fully defenseless.
[ Congratulations, Host! You have made a double cross-realm kill for the first time. ]
[ You have gained 10 points. ]
[ Congratulations, Host. You have unlocked Gold Level Achievement "On The Way To The Realm of Monster" ]
[ This achievement can be called a skill, and it helps you increase your strength by half-fold for a short period of time.(2 Minutes) ]
[ Congratulations, Host, You have unlocked Gold Level Achievement "Fisherman's Vision" ]
[ This achievement can be called a skill and it helps you see 1 second in the future. ]
Gale stood dumbfounded as he received all these notifications all of a sudden that was filled with great skills, which he could simply say - were very rare.
"I guess, it was truly fruitful," Gale said with a big smirk as he condensed all of Nakal's blood essence into the shape of a ball.
As he was done with that, he was ready to leave, but something caught in his spiritual sense that made him halt in his steps. He turned his head to the side and saw a hunchbacked, old man standing quietly, looking at him.
Gale looked at himself and said with a chuckle. "Will you look at that? I didn't expect to meet you here…Elder Thunder."
It was none other than Elder Thunder, just as Gale said. Elder Thunder stared at Gale, devoid of any emotion. "I finally caught you in person, Gale."
Gale looked at Elder Thunder with mockery, not worried about his sudden arrival. "How did you know I might be here? I thought only trying to find how to get into power was going on in your senile brain."
"You don't have to rile up any of my emotions. You have already made me inside." Elder Thunder said with a bit of sadness in his voice. The death of his grandson totally broke him.
"Hey, hey, don't say it like that. People might interpret me as the villain. First of all, I am totally not sorry for killing your grandson, and how could I? That idiot was having sex with a girl sneakily, not doing his job." Gale ridiculed him in a voice pattern that made Elder Thunder go back on his word and become slightly angry. "Lastly, you are someone with a sinister mind who killed my parents and is thinking of overthrowing the whole town. As expected of the outer elder, how could I even feel sorry for someone like you?"
This time, the anger on Elder Thunder's face was replaced by pure shock. He looked at Gale with wide-open eyes. "How do you know?"
Gale looked at Elder Thunder with a grin, finding it extremely fun to toy with Elder Thunder's emotions. "Just like how you find me by analyzing the pattern of my fishermen's behavior, right….?"
"Anyone could pick that up if they used their brain properly, but yours don't make any kind of sense." Elder Thunder glared at Gale. "Because I am sure I didn't leave any clue behind."
"Hehehe," Gale chuckled to himself, "There are many things in this world that don't make any kind of sense."
Elder Thunder brought out a long, double-edged sword from his storage ring and said with a grim face. "I am done with your nonsense. I will just silence you very quickly."
Bang
Gale just ducked down to dodge Elder Thunder's sudden burst of attack, only to hear sounds of thunder and something exploding. 'That was so fast.'
Gale was genuinely surprised and had no mood to joke around. He took a spear in his hand and thrust it into Elder Thunder's stomach, but...
Bang
In a matter of seconds, Elder Thunder swept away Gale's attack like it was nothing.
Gale wasn't done by that and went to clash against Elder Thunder. But he quickly lost his ground and went into a defensive.
He slowly analyzed Elder Thunder's attack style. 'A sudden yet strong strike filled with every ounce of his energy, just like thunder. This explains his name.'
" [ Warrior's Spear - First Form - Celestial Dance ]." Gale used his first move directly from the start. He dodged and attacked from all around Elder Thunder.
Despite looking like Gale was at an advantage, he really wasn't able to do anything, as Elder Thunder was able to block all of his attacks.
'This gap in the cultivation realm.' Gale's face darkened as he knew why he wasn't able to do much. He was seriously weaker than Elder Thunder in the cultivation realm.
All of a sudden, Gale heard a rumbling sound like thunder grumbling in the clouds.
" [ Thunder Art - Rain ]. " Just as Elder Thunder said, Gale saw multiple strikes from Elder Thunder that were coming toward him in a bunched-up way.
Gale's eyes shot wide open as he quickly used his second move. " [ Warrior's Spear - Second Form - Killing God's Thrusts ]."
Gale forcefully broke past his limits and thrusted his spear on the same amount as Elder Thunder.
But he still wasn't able to contend with his strength and had his body shot backward, smashing into a big pile of rubble.
"I was expecting you to be easy to kill, but you are good." Elder Thunder said it with a bit of awe as he looked at Gale climbing out of the rubble.
Gale looked at his injuries and said."Nah, I am bad. I wasn't able to overwhelm such a weak guy like you. Your praise instead brings me shame."
