Chapter 954: Dangerous

Again? How many body parts is this weirdo gonna grow?

Since the condition was dire enough for Venerable Surari to use another of his hidden cards, then that meant Sage was already pushing him too far. The point of the monks move would be to free him from the current situation. As such, Sage would be foolish to give the monk what he wanted. Instead of changing his tactics, he kept doing the same thing without interruption to keep the pressure up. If this new move was going to help Surari to fight back, then Sage wasnt going to make it easy on him. If he wanted to break out of the webs, then hed have to overcome the many strings of silk that Sage was constantly layering upon him.

Unexpectedly, the two new heads that Surari spawned werent intended to break him out of the webbing. At least not directly. Instead, the two heads opened their eyes and stared at Sage, opening their mouths to release a loud shout. This sudden yell ignored the webs and struck Sage through his ears. Worst yet, it wasnt just a wave of sound. If that was the case, then all the Sage would have to worry about would be losing his hearing. Instead, the sound was just a carrier for a more insidious attack. A wave of energy penetrated into his body and shot towards his Nascent Soul. Sages soul resisted the incoming attack, but the golden wave of energy broke through and entered Sages Spiritual Sea inside his Nascent Soul.

Upon reaching the sixth rank, the Spiritual Sea, and Core would merge into the Soul to form a Nascent Soul. This made it much harder for spirit based attacks to harm the mind, but it also meant that if they were successful theyd do far more damage because the Spiritual Sea, and the mind, were now part of the Nascent Soul. Damage to one meant damage to all. When the gold wave of energy entered Sages Spiritual Sea it transformed into a golden buddha. A huge giant landed upon the sea, standing upon the choppy water and slowly marching towards the island at the center with his palms pressed together and his bald head shining brightly.

The monk walked up to the gates of the castle and after giving a push they swung open. The giant monk shrunk in size so it could fit through the gates. It walked inside and into the hallway with its head nearly scraping the ceiling. Stomping inside, the large buddha smiled as it turned the corner but ended up in a hallway. It walked to the end of the hall and ran into a fork. It went to the left and walked down toward another fork. The happy smile of success slowly faded the longer it stomped around.

That's not how I was hoping that would go. Being respectful with these debtors doesnt seem to work, and matching strength with them only seems to make it worse.

Sage realized that the only way to avoid a fight might be to show off his most powerful options right from the get go to terrify them into compliance. This was opposite to everything he knew about fighting. Hed always been careful not to reveal too many of his tricks in public. If he showed off his secrets, and those who saw it were still alive afterwards they could spread that knowledge around. If others knew what he could do, they could figure out how to counter him and his trump cards would lose their value. Yet, now it seemed the only way he could intimidate these debtors into paying without a fight was to awe them with overwhelming force. The only person who had voluntarily paid was the weakest one and the most scared of Sage strength.

Eh, its too small a sample size for this to be conclusive, but looks like Ill have plenty of chances to test it out. Then again, if they fight back I can get everything theyve got instead of just what they owe. Hmm, if I threaten them hard enough then its possible to get everything as well.

Resolving to do more testing, Sage went back into the pagoda where Venerable Surari lived, ignoring the dirty looks as he returned exactly to the room of the monk and collecting the secret hiding spots that Surari had left behind. On the Inner World, Surari was even more helpless than hed been at the end of the fight and the only way out for him was to spill all his secrets. They started by telling him there was no way off of this new world, to give the monk hope for survival. If there was no way that Surari could spread Sages secrets then there was a chance he could keep his life. Surari wasnt a fool and he knew that most people wouldnt hesitate to kill in order to keep their secrets from being revealed to the public. While he wasnt thrilled to be trapped in another world, it meant there was a chance for him to live through this.

It was only after giving Surari hope for survival that they started to threaten him with torture to get the information they were looking for. L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
