East Meet West

175- Remnant Soul 1

Orochi swiped his palm on the sharp blade of the sword and he had to use some strength to make a deep cut.

‘ding’

‘-211 HP’

‘ding’

‘Host is suffering from [Bleed Debuff]’

‘Host will lose 10 HP every second.’

Orochi did not pay attention to the system’s notification as he knew, that the wound will soon heal by itself and all the lost Hp will be filled.

Then as soon as blood started leaking, he splashed it on the wall as instructed from the words written on the wall and waited for the changes to occur.

Then after 2-3 seconds, the whole cave started shaking as if an earthquake had occurred.

And the Orochi’s blood that was splashed on the wall, got miraculously absorbed by the wall.

The cave continued shaking for almost a minute then finally it stopped.

As soon as the vibrations stopped, a wall adjacent to the wall on which words were written started showing some movements.

SHWAA

BANG

A small passage enough for a single person to enter was revealed.

Seeing the passage appear, Orochi assured June and Armelia before stepping into the passage.

After Orochi entered the passage, a white curtain was formed and it blocked anyone from entering and prevented Orochi from exiting.

Orochi walked a few meters before he came across a huge number of steps that lead to the underground.

Without any hesitation, Orochi took the steps and continued going deeper into the underground.

SWISH

There was no light, so Orochi used the ‘Fire wisp’ spell and a small fire appeared in his palm, which allowed him to observe the surroundings.

Finally, after walking for more than 10-15 minutes, the steps came to an end and what appeared in front of him was another bronze door.

Based on his judgment, Orochi felt that his location was almost 50-60 meters underground from his original position.

Throwing these thoughts away, Orochi tried pushing the bronze door.

Maybe it was due to the long passage of time that certain parts got rusty or maybe the bronze door was originally heavy, but Orochi had to use his full strength when he tried to push open the bronze door.

CREAKKK

BANG

Finally, Orochi was able to create enough space for him to step into it.

As soon as Orochi moved in, his vision went dark as it was too dark inside, so he was not able to describe the place he arrived at.

SWAAHH

Just as Orochi was about to make his next move, a bright light hit his face, so he had to instinctively close his eyes. After a second or two, he opened his eyes and saw that he was standing in a large empty hall, and in the middle of the empty hall, there was a small black altar and on top of that altar, a palm sized jade crystal was radiating light.

It looked like the hall was naturally formed and it was not man made. He also saw numerous naturally formed huge stalactites a few dozen meters away from him. There were so many that, if anyone stands below them, then his hair will stand upright due to the fear that if all the stalactites fall on him, then his whole body will resemble a honeycomb.

And even though Orochi’s ‘Defense’ stat has entered 4 digits category, even he felt some fear when imagining all the stalactites falling on him. Just looking at the sharp tips of the stalactites, made his eyes feel a stinging sensation.

Drip

Drip

Just as Orochi was trying to calm himself, he saw a milky liquid drop falling from a stalactite.

And even if he was a few dozen meters away from the falling milky liquid drop, he could sense the amazing energy contained within it. And when his eyes followed the trajectory of the falling milky drop, he found that it fell into a small pond which had a diameter of 1-2 meters. And he could sense a rich source of energy from it.

Whoosh

But just as he took a step towards the pond and wanted to inspect what it was, the Jade crystal on the small altar fluctuated once again.

Just as Orochi was amused by these changes and stopped his actions to watch what was happening, he suddenly felt an extremely dangerous feeling creep inside his body.

He knew that one of the ‘Charm’ stat’s abilities- Perception & Intuition got activated.

When this happened, Orochi panicked and stepped away from the altar.

But what followed next, made his body tremble with fear.

He saw that two eyes were projected from the jade crystal and they were looking at him.

This made his back soak in a cold sweat and a chill ran across his spine. The feeling of danger almost doubled and he wanted to run away from this place as soon as possible.

The projection eyes continued staring at Orochi and Orochi also stared back but he did not move because if any changes occurred, he would immediately activate the ‘Sprint’ skill and run away from here.

The staring competition between them lasted for almost a minute, but for Orochi, it felt like more than a day has already passed.

But the next thing made all of Orochi’s hair stand straight.

The projection of eyes suddenly blinked and the eyeball started looking up and down as if it was scanning Orochi’s body.

This made Orochi feel that he was standing naked in front of those two eyes and they are able to scan Orochi’s body and all his secrets.

Just as Orochi was almost about to run away, a cold voice rang in Orochi’s ears,

“TCH. Just some skinny boy who hasn’t even stepped into the Transformation realm, wants my clan’s inheritance, aren’t you being too greedy, skinny boy?”

Orochi saw that the projected eyes withdrew back into the jade crystal and a woman’s face came out of the Jade crystal, following which, her whole body came out and started hovering in front of the altar.

As soon as that woman emerged, she coldly looked at Orochi with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

But Orochi’s mind was distracted because in his mind only one thought was revolving at a rapid speed- A ghost.

This is the first time in his two lives that he came across a ghost and he was terrified by this scenario. Although, he had seen many ghost movies in his previous life, but he never came across one. And all the scary and horrific thoughts accumulated against ghosts in his previous life exploded instantly.

“What happened? Cat got your tongue?”

Orochi tried calming himself and asked in a low tone,

“Hello senior. Are you Bindu Katan, the 30th clan head of the Katan clan?”

“Yes, I am Bindu Katan.”

The women answered in a plain tone.
