Heavenly Dao Child 224 Berserk Part-1

Next day a sweaty and stinky Ryuu stood up from his meditation spot as he stretched popping his joints in place as he gagged at the putrid smell coming from his body covered with black slimy stick filth, he so needed to take a bath. Maheswara was sitting opposite to him on a meditative position opened his eyes as he spoke, "So you have regained one level over night."

Ryuu nodded at that as he frowned, "Well why do I look like I the first time I had regained the level, I should not have sweated like that."

Maheswara snorted at that as spoke, "Who told you that, when you lose a level it basically means that the building you have created has some part of it which has collapsed, and you are rebuilding that part from scratch although you will have much easier time building it back since you already have the blueprint with you. Now run along you stink too much it is time for your bath."

Ryuu nodded as he left for his bath, with a yawn he felt a little bit tired.

Meanwhile the palace they were staying was having a guest in the name of Khygnos was visiting him along with Milena and Neacht.

Veena: "Welcome lady Khygnos, Milena and Neacht, welcome to our temporary aboard."

Khygnos: "Pardon me for the intrusion Lady Veena."

Celestia: "It has been eons since we had got together like this."

Khygnos: "So true and I believe not only that it has been even much longer since I have spoke with lady Nuwa herself."

Nuwa: "So true, it really has been many years since we spoke."

Milena: "Where is uncle and brother Ryuu?"

Maheswara who had just arrived replied on behalf of his "Ryuu broke into Level 6 Void Immortal Level and after his success he is taking a bath to get read of the gunk covering him."

Khygnos: "Ah brother you really are lucky to have such an uncut diamond in the form of Ryuu to have reached Level 6 Void Immortal is nothing short of amazing, I doubt there are any cultivator in this day and age who are as amazing as him."

Antariskh snorted as she with a smug smile bragged about Ryuu, "Lady Khygnos, actually that is not his true level a few months ago he suffered a tragedy which caused his level to drop from level 9th to level 5th."

At that the listeners eyes widened before Milena spoke, "Was the tragedy the reason he had to take the Demon Heart Pill.", as she asked the question the trio of sisters winced inwardly at that, last night they asked the same question to their parents, which resulted on the getting chastised by them, and it was not nice experience for them.

Maheswara sighed at that as he spoke, "No no, it only aggravated his condition but the reason he is suffering from it was because of his personal reasons regarding his family, and because of people he had befriended during his travels and were killed he blames himself greatly as such causing his suffering."

Khygnos: "I see and I believe it was one of the reasons he had gained enlightenment in the Dao of Asura."

Veena replied to her somberly, "Yes it was a tragedy."

Neacht winced at that as she spoke, "It is a Dao suitable for people who love combat too much specially the Orc race who love to bath in the blood of their enemies, I doubt Ryuu would appreciate it though."

Nuwa nodded as she spoke, "You are right, if Ryuu fully embraced the Dao he would be actively seek out battle just to satiate his lust for blood and what not but he is not like that causing his suffering so much."

Neacht suddenly spoke with a frown in her face, "Uncle, Aunty I do not mean to insult you but you know I had once gained enlightenment on the Dao as such I have some experience on it, so if you do not mind if I help him getting better control over it, you know well that as long as he actively tries to avoid it, it will cause him more harm than good.

As they were speaking the Ryuu had finished taking his bath as he arrived at the drawing room of the palace, where his teachers were having tea with their guests.

Ryuu gave a small bow as he greeted them, "Greetings Seniors."

Khygnos smiled at him as she spoke, "Ah the person we have been speaking about, Ryuu come here seat beside me."

Ryuu's teachers slightly tensed at that, except Maheswara who just gave them a reassuring look, before they arrived here they placed various arrays and what not even when Rishit came to visit Ryuu for the first time they had placed such things so as to prevent him from understanding he was a Dao Child, amongst all their acquaintances Khygnos was the one with the most keenest senses as such they were a bit tensed at that yet they could not speak anything openly so as to draw unwanted attention, even if Maheswara made sure to reinforce it, they were a bit tensed.

Fortunately for them Neacht's words came like a blessing in disguise, "Aunty I hope you do not mind I wish to test Ryuu in the art of sword."

Khygnos shrugged as she spoke, "Well I do not mind you children can go and mingle with each other."

Neacht stood up as she spoke, "Well I hope, you would not mind Ryuu."

Ryuu simply shook his head as he spoke, "I have no problem Senior, and it will be a great opportunity for me to learn."

Sylvana stood up as she spoke, "Well then please excuse us, we will be leaving with sister Neacht and brother Ryuu."

With that they left the older generations together as they went towards the courtyard of palace in order to spar.

Milena: "Neacht I do not understand why do you wish to spar against Ryuu specially a sword fight."

Neacht looked confused as she spoke, "What do you mean I use sword as well as such I do not see any problem with using sword to have a spar with Ryuu."

Milena had a false surprised look on her face as she spoke, "Since when do you use a sword, do not tell me you mean that giant slab of metal that you swing around like a headless chicken."

Neacht had a tick mark on her head as she began angrily, "Why you…", only to be stopped by Shamiran herself as she spoke, "Please Sisters stop it, and I do not want Ryuu to get some weird impression you two because of your rivalry."

The duo in question huffed at that as they walked silently towards the courtyard, as they reached courtyard Ryuu took a position with his sword pointing towards Neacht.

Neacht raised an eyebrow as she spoke, "Ho a proto cosmic treasure, must be something uncle made for you, well one advise Ryuu do not hold go all out, and by that I mean using your Divine body as well as even the 'Dao of Asura', my family has some history with that Dao I wish to help you."

Antariskh: "Go ahead brother I believe mother will have no problem with it right.", she turned her head towards Nuwa who had just arrived.

Nuwa simply smiled at that as spoke, "Child you have our permission."

Ryuu gave a small smile in return towards Nuwa before he spoke seriously to Neacht, "Sister Neacht, before we began our spar, I wish to tell you how sorry I am for my behavior, under its effect I am unaware of my behavior as such I am sorry if I caused you some anger because of it."

Neacht spoke with a smile, "No worries brother, come at me when you are ready.", with that she took out her weapon.

Ryuu looked at it with wide eyes at the weapon, 'It seems sister Milena was right, it is really a giant slab of metal no matter how I look it, I cannot think of it as sword after all who in the right mind would classify a freaking 15 feet long and 3 feet wide slab of metal with a long handle as a sword.'

Neacht eyes eyebrow twitched she could already understand what was going throw Ryuu's mind from his facial expression, it looks like she will have to teach him the long, hard and painful way about why her weapon is a sword.
