Murim Recurve Chapter 176
Advertisement
Just as she had expected, Re'Kha found another space underneath the granary. But, it was the same width as the granary and was barely a metre high. Contained within it was just a crate, within which were some weapons to use.
There were four Magic Artifacts, each one of them corresponding to a respective element each. Moreover, they were all shaped as gloved bracelets with four dangling chains. The chains seemed to be the type to be wound over the arm wearing the bracelet.
It was a weird design, for Re'Kha didn't know why they were made as such. It seemed inefficient if she thought about it. But, as it fully covered the hand like a glove, it would increase the potency of their Palm Projection, doubling it even depending on the quality of the Magic Artifact.
But, it seemed they were a group of four that operated away from their base. And hence, they only brought with them the items needed to complete their mission. They were unlike back at the Burkurel Ju Clan's Western Settlement, hoarding a tremendous number of resources.
Except for the food in the settlement branch, Re'Kha did wipe them dry for the rest.
For a moment, she did plan to steal the four Magic Artifacts in the household. But after a moment of thought, she reined in her greed. Even if she was capable, it wasn't wise to take them.
After all, her objective was to deal with the three Sha. Followed by it was capturing the four people that were responsible for using them. But, unless she could determine who that hidden helper of theirs was, Re'Kha didn't plan on taking action.
After all, even destroying the crate with the three Sha would prove to be tough. It was a Magic Artifact, so it would be ridiculously tough. Unless Re'Kha spammed attacks on it for a long time, she wouldn't be able to damage the crate.

That alone would cause too much commotion. Moreover, destroying the crate wasn't enough. She had to destroy the Sha placed within. But, the moment she destroyed the crate, the three Sha would break free and would simultaneously attack her.
Dealing with three of them at a time was a suicide mission. Maybe, if she was a Martial Master, she could still preserve her life against them. But she was just a little Harmoniser, only possessing a reserve of 12 units of Elemental Qi. So, Re'Kha couldn't take any risks by springing in abruptly.
Besides, she didn't know if the four were Harmonisers or not. As they were part of the workforce, people would find it suspicious if they had been Harmonisers. But, the fact that they possessed Magic Artifacts proved otherwise.
'Maybe they aren't Harmonisers and are planning to fight against one with their Magic Artifacts?" Re'Kha thought, frowning at the possibility. There was a lot about them that she was clueless about.
And, for a moment, she was inclined to ambush them one by one during the night and kill them. After all, thanks to the Wind Qi perception, she was able to move unhindered through the night.
And, she did have the Wind Blade Pranic Art to silently reap the lives of people without making any sounds or leaving any traces behind. Just by using that, she could kill them, since their Magic Artifacts were stored away.
But, all that would only be possible if they weren't Harmonisers and hadn't been secretly trained in any ability to detect the appearance of a third party. Moreover, the moment she killed one, she had to swiftly kill the rest before the scent of blood alerted them all.
Besides, it wasn't easy breaking through the house. She hadn't attempted to see how her Wind Blades would work on solid objects. There were way too many uncertainties in the matter.

'This is just the first day of my observation. Over the days, I'll surely get some clues on them to act accordingly.' She thought, then realising that the restaurant was getting crowded. The servants were already darting eyes on her for a while.
Re'Kha finished the rest of her breakfast and exited the restaurant, slowly walking around as she found another restaurant, one that served cold drinks for people to relieve themselves in the heat. It was a speciality during the Fire Season.
Re'Kha entered it next, planning to spy on the household from there. Time passed in such a fashion as it was evening by now. Re'Kha then boarded a cycle rickshaw and returned to her house.
Ideally speaking, she wished to spy on them during the night too. But unfortunately for her, she didn't have the time to do that. She had to visit Burfuna Ki'Nua the next day early in the morning. So, she had to sleep early.
Besides, once she was done with the matter about Ki'Nua, she would have enough time to spy on the four for longer durations. Theoretically speaking, she could technically extend her Wind Qi perception towards their household all the way from her house in the Mu Clan.
But in this way, the volume of information she was perceiving would be way too much for her to handle, quickly tiring her out. This was the reason Re'Kha travelled all the way to the market in the first place.
But she still planned to spy on them during the night for at least a couple of seconds, just to see if there was anything to be gained from it. Re'Kha returned to her room, meditating as she focused on her Wind Qi perception, increasing her understanding of it.
She was hoping to increase the sensitivity of the basic sense that she had obtained recently. By improving it, she didn't need to depend on her Wind Qi perception and could use her Water Qi attacks without trouble.
It was what she hoped to do for the rest of the night. Re'Kha took out the Wind Qi Essence, activating it to create a sphere around her, increasing the concentration of Wind Qi in it. From a gentle breeze, it was soon akin to staying within a twister.
But, she wasn't affected, thanks to her affinity with the element.

Odyssey of the Unrivalled
What do you do when you have it all? When you can do anything, go anwhere, know anything with less effort than stretching your fingers? When you feel jealous of any passer-by, just because they have something to do, somewhere to be? The answer was simple to him: erase your memories, seal your power and live a normal life. Still, something felt wrong. It just didn't feel... fulfilling. But then a magical formation appears in his office, and he and his co-workers get catapulted into another world. Profanity will be kept to a minimum, but will be included to keep realism. There will be some gore, vegans and animal activists alike beware. Will include some comedy, some meaningful conversation (I hope) and some things you will (hopefully) never expect in this genre. Hopefully quality will increase as it goes on. No schedule for chapters, but they will keep coming. Feedback welcome. View my other story at https://royalroadl.com/fiction/13168/fork-this-life

Return of Chaos
For the longest time, it was thought that the citizens of Earth were the only denizens of the galaxy incapable of developing superhuman abilities — but recent events have flipped that assumption on its head. Between Austin Travis, Mote Emerson, Pierce Bradley, and their friends, Earth is now host to 12 Chaotics… as well as a myriad of mysteries surrounding them. From a new nemesis in the form of a clone, to connections to ancient technology from a long-lost civilization, to the ability to summon powerful legendary weapons, these 12 Chaotics have unknowingly become entangled in something larger than any of them have ever imagined. As if in response to these discoveries, the sinister machinations of galactic evil are churning. The metallic infection, a calamitous nanotechnology “disease” thought to have been vanquished 20 years ago, is slowly returning — and alongside it, a number of conflicts thought to be long past. While they only seek to better grasp their own abilities, Earth’s Chaotics will soon find themselves in the crossfire of returning threats and old heroes. These superpowered Earthians may not have chosen this path through life, but it will still be up to them to determine if history remembers them — to determine if history remembers the saga of the Keys. Return of Chaos is a direct sequel to Chosen Chaos, which begins the Key Saga novel series. Be sure to read Chosen Chaos first, to understand the plot and the characters thus far! Additionally, the Key Saga as a whole takes place 20 years after Rise. You will not need to read Rise to understand the events of Return of Chaos, however the latter will spoil many of the events that occurred in Rise, due to the simple chronology of taking place later in the timeline.
