The Gods' Decree 118 Wrecked Habita

" Sigh It's a pity that spider's core got destroyed in the battle we had..."

He lamented as images of Marceline bursting into little pieces flashed in his mind...

" This injury sure has messed with my progress. So much so that with the absorption of the phoenix blood, even May has surpassed me in cultivation..."

Taf could only grin as the thought crossed his mind.

" There I was slowing my progress so as to not get too far ahead and she just surpasses me.

Even when I arrived at the 8th she will be making preparation to step into the 9th.."

Though she had surpassed him, he was filled with nothing but happiness and relief. Relief in now knowing there would be little need to worry when they engage in future battles.

It even seemed their overall goal of arriving at the peak together as they initially planned, was on track for the moment...

" I wonder how many realms are there above the realm of lords?"

He curiously thought as his mind drifted off a bit...

" How many before I too can be just like the draconian and do whatever I please in space.

Guess that will only give old Man Ming more material for selling his meals huh..."

He laughed as the thought crossed his mind. Soon images of huge signs and pictures of himself on billboards with the old man taking credit with his food flashed by...

As he thought of this however there was a bit of sadness that overcame him. Though he initially didn't want to think about it, within the future he knew there will come a time where Old Man Ming wasn't around anymore.

" There are herbs and pills that can extend a mortal's life a significant amount. I should collect some before my journey home. The stronger I become, the greater my clout and the better quality i can harvest.

Guess there is no better time than the present to start right?"

As his intend was made known he then closed his eyes before grabbing one of the cores that surrounded him...

🌟 Cultivation Art - Hungry wolf🌟

As he spoke red Qi found itself funneling like cyclones within dantian.

Crack!!!

The first core started to shatter before falling apart as Taf grabbed another. This process went on for an hour before...

Booom!!!!

Suddenly his dantian cracked open before once again reforming anew significantly larger than before...

" Finally the 8th stage..."

He sighed in relief as he observed his dantian that had expanded a bit. Everything had seemingly gone smoothly as nothing odd had occurred...

" I should try my inherent art and see how my body has adjusted. Hmm, I wonder if it would be significantly less taxing...?"

Curiosity got the best of him as he thought about the last attack he had used on Marceline. It was this same inherent art that caused him to be bedridden for over two months...

As Taf walked around his new home he started feeling as though it was too much. There were so many rooms and space yet it was only him. He was accustom to his room in the attic of the restaurant, small but somewhat cozy.

These rooms were, of course, to be occupied by servants, however, he refused as he didn't like the thought of others in his space.

" Guess not all dreams turn out the way you imagined huh..."

As he lingered in his thoughts he made his way into a courtyard that had luscious greenery all around.

" Here will do..."

He then aimed his right hand at a tree which had some green fruit with touches of yellow. Each seemed to have a few sprinkles of dew from the cold night.

🌟Demon Inherent Art - Devour🌟

He spoke before opening his palm and uttering...

🌟Absorption🌟

Soon a suction force could be observed coming form from his hand. Everything within the direction of his right hand similar to a magnet was drawn towards it. The tree leaves, fruits, branches even down to the bark was rips from its grasp.

" Seems way more powerful than it was initially...."

As Taf observed he tried making a comparison as to its strength compared to his previous use.

" With some practice, I should be able to use this at least twice with ease at full strength and a third time would be pushing it somewhat. However, before I come to any full conclusion..."

He then made a motion with his left hand...

🌟 Expulsion🌟

As he spoke the word and its attack was about to unleash...

" What the heck...?"

He shouted in fright, within his left hand he felt a strange sensation. It was strange yet familiar in a sense. The last time his hands felt like this was his last attack on Marceline when they fought...

His veins felt as though they were being baked from the inside, yet it was not as overbearing as the previous time.

Soon black lightning formed at the end of his palm before...

BOOOM!!!

The tree was blasted into bits yet the lightning did not stop there as it continued obliterating anything in its path.

Before Taf could even come to terms with what had happened, he saw the black lightning heading to a dwelling atop the mountain a bit further from his own...

" Oooh shit...."

As he saw what was about to unfold he slowly took a few steps back towards the door. As he hurried inside he heard...

BOOOOOMMM!!!

He didn't need to look to know what happened...

" Damn it, just when I promised I wouldn't cause a fuss., hopefully, no one was hurt."

He then took a slight glance and what he saw in the wake of his attack was indeed in his expectations. There was not a stone or brink left standing.

No more was there a dwelling but apparent piles of rubble that littered the side of the mountain...

As he spoke he heard cries from the direction of where the dwelling was located. It was not out of pain however but extreme fury.

" Which bastardly coward did this, come out now. I swear I am going to kill someone tonight..."

The bellowing voice of a man was heard shouting through the night.

The large explosion added with the cries of the man caused curious gazes and also a large group of spectators to make their way out of their homes. They all wondered what could have caused such devastation.

" While I was on the transmitter with a member of my squad, I briefly recalled something flashed before an explosion. Where the attack came from I do not know.."

A female in her 20's uttered as she assessed the damage. It should be noted that all that were currently at the scene had the cultivation of the 9th qi condensation.

" I think I saw it coming from a lower part of the mountain, if i am not mistaken it's from the direction of that dwelling below..."

A young man seemingly of similar age also spoke up as he pointed in the direction of Taf's dwelling. Hearing this Taf could only curse in his mind...

" Damn tattle tale...!"

He uttered as he heard the door to his dwelling open. Soon a familiar presence was by his side.. Seeing his destroyed courtyard and what occurred above it, it did not take long for her to put the pieces together.

She looked at him from the sides of her eyes...

" Sighs, really Taf, you couldn't go one day., What happened?"

The question was then posed by May as she knew something must have offset all of this.

" I just shot freaking lightning from my hand, that's what happened! I nearly pee myself in fright..."

Taf then went on to disclose all that had occurred. As he went on with his explanation the crowd started to build and even more, witnesses came forward.

" So that's how is huh. Isn't your body filled with surprises? Let's deal with the matter at hand first however..."

As May spoke she saw the crowd building above...

" I didn't know anyone took up residence within that dwelling..."

A voice spoke out of the crowd as they all curiously gazed at Taf's new home.

" Well this afternoon I saw Phillip showing around two teens, they both could be no more than fifteen. One a female, the other a male. The male was given that residence as his own..."

Once more It was the young man who initially spoke who offered readily available information to the masses..

Seemingly not all persons were aware of this as those who weren't as intrigued before had now found some added interest...

" Damn can that guy not shut up? I pity the person who secrets he keeps."

Taf once more looked hatefully at the man who seemingly divulged more details each time his mouth opened...

" Seems the sect found a few new geniuses, this is quite intriguing."

A blonde whose hair cascaded down her back spoke. Within her eyes, glimmers of battle intent could be seen.

"What a pity they are so young..."

As she spoke the other members around knew far too fell her intentions. Though she seemed so delicate and sweet, this girl was a battle enthusiast...

" I don't care what kind of genius he is, I am going to beat him to a bloody pulp after what he has done..."

The victim of the attack could care less about Taf's identity as he fumed charging his way down. Seeing the commotion unfolding he was followed by a crowd who even poured fuel to the already raging flames...

" Damn geniuses always thinking themselves darlings of the sect, doing whatever they want because they have some elder behind them. You teach him Malnor..."

A female shouted as Malnor raged seemed to escalate with the chants...

Seeing this May could only shake her head...

" My turn right...?"

As she spoke she readied herself to take a step outside before a hand held her back...

" How about I talk this one out, would be slightly harsh battering the fellow after i wrecked his house.."

Taf then stated as he watched the fellow and his ready-made entourage...

" You sure about this, he doesn't seem like he is in the mood for talk. Ok, work your magic."

She grinned as she wondered how on earth he would get himself out of the hole he dug with his words.

Hearing her words, he knew what she was thinking which fueled his aim to prove himself right. Soon he summoned a towel, rid himself of his shirt, before pouring water over his head...

This May found quite intriguing as she wondered what he had planned...

In a confused manner, he made his way out of his dwelling. Outside in his destroyed courtyard, he saw a crowd forming...

" Can't a man take a simple shower in peace without some commotion. Now, this is private residence so I will have to ask....."

As Taf spoke his jaws became aghast as he looked in shock at his courtyard...

" What in the hell...!!! Who did this...?"

This surprised the crowd who were left stunned by his reaction...

He then paused staring at the crowd led by a man of average stature. Whose qi was gushing forth from his rage...

" Oh I see, this is some perverted form of initiation huh. So this is the means by which new recruits are hazed. I must say your methods are quite overbearing and lack a certain tact..."

Taf looked on in disgust as the crowd formed. They were lost for words as they listen to his argument. What on earth was he on about...?

" Silent are we, at least you all have some shame, but destroying my courtyard. Now i dare say there are some mental issues to be looked at. Surely you lot need to exercise these demons that have possessed you...

Now I am no exorcist but i surely will seek compensation for the damages incurred to my property. So come forth the culprits..."

Some among the crowd started to waver as they heard the words of Taf. Maybe he too was also a victim of someone else's schemes. However, in the house, someone could not contain her laughter as she heard his words.
