Sin spent the remaining 4 days in peace and quiet, everyday he would take Alannah out to play, go to fairs, go out and hunt bounties and so forth. During this period of time, Sin had felt he was close to mastering the Earth path of [Blood Dragon Sword Methods.] When Sin came back to town, there was a man in a robe decorated with dragons, on his waist was a lifelike Sword glowing multiple lights. The man walked towards Sin asking politely.

"Are you the new generation Wolf King by any chance?"

Sins eyes narrowed just as he was about to reach for his Soul Weapon, Alannah jumped off of Sins shoulders admiring the persons sword.

"Waaaah it's so beautiful!"

Sins focus was solely on the man, if he were to move a single millimeter regardless of being god, the devil, or buddha, his head would roll.

The man seeing this tested Sin, before the man moved however, Sins blade was already drawn on his neck. Sin instantly put 40 points into both Agility and Dexterity, leaving 20 left in his stockpile.

"Alannah come back to papa."

The man raised his hands "Easy now tiger, I'm the king of these lands. You wouldn't be willing to initiate a full out war would you?"

Sin smiled meaningfully. "That depends on which side of the blade you tread upon."

The man looked back, uttering a single word. "Humans."

Sin sheathed his weapon. "Very well, let's get this over with."

The King noticed how fascinated Alannah was over his sword. He took it out of its sheathe and showed it to her. "Little girl would you like to keep this Sword?"

Alannahs eyes widened she squealed with excitement. However, she turned to look back to her papa eagerly asking. "Papa can I take it, he offered it to me. It would be rude to turn the offer down right? What was it you like to say, accept kind gestures to pave the future roads?"

Sin shook his head while smiling. "Yes you can have it sweety."

Alannah jumped up and down clapping her hands together. "Papa is the best in the world!" Alannahs hand reached out so fast, the King didn't even have time to react before the Sword and sheathe were already strapped on her waist.

The King had a rather awkward look on his face. A 5 year old girl had just swiped the Sword and sheathe off his being, the scariest impact being that he didn't even feel it. Nor did his 'domain' alert him of Alannahs movements. [Swiper no swiping!]

Sin seeing this was pleased. He knelt down and ruffled Alannahs hair affectionately. "You did well my girl."

Alannahs eyes were bright and she smiled as wide as can be.

The King coughed bringing Sins attention back. "Shall we go somewhere comfortable?"

Sin replied "Sure."

The King brought Sin and Alannah to a private tea house, when he entered he asked a waiter to take Alannah to the play area. The King then went up to to VIP room, Sin followed behind keeping his senses sharp.

After entering the room a mystifying aroma that made ones mood and nerves ease started working. The King sat down comfortably. The King asked something that instantly put Sin on full alert.

"Did you raid the Azure Dragon Clan?"

Sin made eye contact with the King. "Would you prefer I be honest or lie?"

The King smiled as he too also relaxed. "That's a good enough answer. I want to thank you as King of these lands, the Dragon King has long since been the Demon's bitch. I just never had the proof, or clear motive to wipe them out of existence. While I am King and my authority here is absolute, the civilians are not aware of these facts. And even if they were, why would they believe it? The Azure Dragon Clan has served my family for the last 5,000 years. They have long since planted their roots in everyone's hearts as loyal to a fanatic level. If I were to simply uproot them without solid evidence, many would fear me and would take advantage of the chaos to overthrow my position. I have been safe guarding these lands for over 9,000 years, I have killed many pawns of the Demons. And I will be the first to admit, there are ears in the walls."

Sin nodded thoughtfully. "That does make sense, the Azure Dragon Clan even affected my clan. One of my elders named Chrom was working for them. It's a shame I had to kill him, Sirius and Chrom were life and death brothers."

The king also nodded. "This is how life goes, you never know if the ones you feed, will one day kill you in your sleep."

Sin asked a question. "Besides asking me about the raid, what other intentions do you have for seeking me out?"

The King hesitated for a second, but still answered truthfully. "I would like to ask you to be the human representative of the Grand Warrior Trials. Truth be told, you would be sent out of Desolate Kingdom into another plane of existence all together. Us humans we are the lowest on the power spectrum in the universe. Even a 45th grade existence such as the Demons threaten to wipe us out, let alone the Dimensional beings, Chaos creatures, Ashuras, Deities and so on."

"Why do you think I am capable enough to represent the other Kings and Queens?" Sin asked.

The king looked into Sins eyes. "Because I can see your destiny is like the blinding rays of the sun."

"And how can you believe one day I won't become someone who kills any being I see?"

The king thought long and hard before answering Sins question. "Because you and I are cut from the same cloth."

"I will not make you any promises. I will only protect those I have the power to protect, I am not a hero blinded by justice."

The King smiled "That's good enough for me, take the time to rest up and get into a proper mindset. The trials open up in 5 hours, make whatever preparations you need to now."

-------------------------------

Five hours passed, Sin left the Vermilion Bird Clan with Ariya and Alannah. When Sin and company were about to leave the Vermilion Bird Clan, Reiya ran out shouting from behind.

"You better make it back alive Sin!"

Sin kept walking forward throwing his hand into the air. After arriving at the Kings palace, Sin noticed many strong people. Many looked at Sin, some nodded, some looked eager to fight, and some looked like superior assholes.

Sin spotted the Dragon King before calling out loudly.

"Yo snakey snake! I didn't think you'd be participating in the trials, you always struck me as a big pussy who gives commands from behind."

The Dragon King turned back with a face full of fury. "We'll see who the real pussy is!"

The Dragon King turned away, going to sign up for the trial. Sin followed behind with Ariya, and Alannah on his shoulders. When Sin arrived, he heard the Dragon King asking to be put into the hell mode. Sin smiled before walking forward.

"You can sign me up for the Asura mode."

The Dragon Kings eyes widened before sarcastically asking Sin. "You do realize what you just signed yourself up for right?"

Sin smiled with his middle finger raised. "Do you dare take the dive with me snakey snake?"

The veins in the Dragon Kings body flared. "Sign me up for the fucking Asura mode!"

After thirty minutes passed those that signed up for the various difficulties got into groups. Sin, Ariya, Alannah and the Dragon King were the only ones to take Asura mode.

The King came out and took center stage.

"All my brave warriors, it is my pleasure to open up the Grand Warrior Trials. I hope that everyone I see here comes back alive in 10 days. Your bravery and honour as humans is formidable, each life you take away proves that we're not the pathetic beings the other races take us as. Every enemy you kill earns you points based off how strong they are. The more enemies you kill, the more rewards you will get from the universe itself."

The King waved his hands and various portals lit up.

Sin and Ariya were the first to enter leading the pack, the Dragon King followed suit. Upon entering the other side of the portal, a vast world entered Sins view.

---------------------------------

AOUUUUU!

the roars of the beasts were shattering, Sin had his Soul Weapon drawn. The bushes rustled and a dimensional beast came running through it. Sins analyze did it's job

Dimensional Hog King

Level: 25

Health: 92,000

Mana: 1,250

Strength: 125

Intelligence: 10

Agility: 100

Dexterity: 100

Sins eyes were full of fighting intent, Asura mode really was no simple walk in the park. Sin flew forward swiping his Sword at the hoofs of the hog king, sparks flew as only a white scar was left on the hoof without drawing any blood.

Sin jumped over the hog king, evading the tusks primed to gut him. Sin landed on the hog kings back, stabbing his Soul Weapon down with all his strength, Sin managed to injure the hog king, but it was far from fatal or dealing any sort of real damage.

Sins body erupted in the [Phoenix Queen] Sacred Flame. After his refinement method upgraded to God rank, [Phoenix Queen] became a tier 4 Sacred Flame. The Hog King screeched out in agony, Sins Soul Weapon pierced the iron defense as if a heated knife through butter. Running on top of the 6 meter long hog king, Sins weapon ripped open the back revealing the half cut through bones.

Sin put all his body weight into his elbow and smashed it down on the hog kings skull. Sins fingers blazed with [Phoenix Queen] piercing through the hog kings eyes. Sin put his weapon back into its sheathe before quick drawing using [Illusionary Sword: Void Breaker.] The hog king was split in half, as the power of the void weighed down mashing it's body into a bloody pancake.

Sin received a log

[You have slain the Dimensional Hog King. You have been awarded +10 points]

After the Dimensional Hog King died, its soul flew out trying to escape. Sin reached out with his hand purifying the soul as [Phoenix Queen] erased the souls consciousness. Putting it into his Dimensional Bag, Sin was all smiles.

"Hey the beasts here give a decent amount of points. Let's clear out the surrounding are and create a camp for the night."

Sin, Alannah and Reiya made quick work clearing out the surrounding 10 kilometers. No Dimensional beasts survived the onslaught.

The Dragon King took this time to leave the party. "We'll meet up back at this area in 10 days time. I wish you both the best of luck."

Before the Dragon King disappeared, Sin imbued his Mana into a microscopic tracker noiselessly landing on the Dragon Kings combat boots. Seeing as there was no reaction, Sin smiled to himself. "No need to wait 10 days, I will kill you very soon!"

Later that night, Sin was warming up some premade food he cooked before.

Alannah was looking at it with a look of utter disgust.

"Papa why can't we have your yummy food?" Alannah said with longing eyes.

"Because we may attract many powerful Dimensional beasts, or higher race members who feed on humans."

Alannah wasn't happy with that answer. "So why dont we just kill everything that comes?"

"Sweety if you be a good girl tonight, papa will make a yummy breakfast tomorrow how Is that?"

Alannahs eyes lit up like a sea of shooting stars. "Is that a promise?"

Sin smiled ruffling Alannahs hair. "Of course it is my little princess."

Alannah was all smiles and obediently ate the 'yucky' food. That however, was not without a disappointed face. But with her papas promise It was worth the 'misfortune.'

After eating and bathing Alannah, Sin tucked her into bed for the night.

Alannah wrapped her arms, and her wings around Sins neck. "Goodnight papa I love you, don't forget your promise. If you do, I'll tell mom you've been a bad papa!"

Sin smiled kissing Alannahs forehead. "Don't worry papa wont forget promises made to my little princess."

Alannahs eyes grew heavy and soon she entered the land of dreams.

Seeing this, Sin went and sat cross legged in the middle of the tent. Sin closed his eyes circulating his refinement method, while his Sword Qi roared awake covering the surrounding 25 kilometers.

If any hostile threats were to enter, their only outcome would be death.

The night passed peacefully while Sins Sword Qi did its job. Sin raked in over 300 points! It was a decent amount to earn in only 9 hours.

Sin got himself up and started making breakfast. With the aromas wafting out, it was only a matter of time before the hungry glutton woke up.

Alannah came out of the tent yawning, but her eyes widened immediately becoming interested in her papas cooking.

Alannah ran over jumping onto Sins kneeling figure. "Good morning papa!"

Sin took out 4 pieces of bacon from the frying pan. "Eat this for now, breakfast will be ready shortly. Do you want to go wake up auntie Ari?"

Alannahs happy look turned to one of betrayal. "No I don't like her! She tried to take me out of papas arms!"

"Alright, that leaves it up to me then. Stay here and don't eat anything else."

"Okay" Alannah replied drooling as she stared at the pans full of food.

Sin went and woke up Ariya, she was much easier to wake up than Merala was.

Thank god for that Sin thought to himself.

Sin came back and made everyone's plate of breakfast. Ariya soon came out, stretching as she splashed some cold water in face.

After everyone finished breakfast. A tremendous aura swept the surrounding area. Beads of sweat fell from Sins body. His look became one of terror and uncertainty.

Sins entire being was shaking as he tried his hardest to reach for his sheathe. A figure appeared just outside of their camp.

The figure was a female whose body seemed to be completely made of water. She had aqua blue wings, blue eyes, flowing blue hair and a halberd in her hands.

"Mmh I knew I smelt the scent of a man nearby. And he's a damn good looking one as well, why don't you come and 'play' with your elder sister?"

Sins analyze flared

Name: Kyaku

Race: Water Nymph

Race Rating: 45

Level: 75

Health: 250,000

Mana: 750,000

Strength: 475

Intelligence: 528

Agility: 600

Dexterity: 600

Physique: 350

Comprehension: 300

Sins entire being was shaking like a leaf in the middle of the storm. His veins bulged, nearly ripping their way through the surface of his skin.

"How.... can.... I... help.... you...?" Sin asked already exhausted just from being under Kyakus pressure.

"I want to eat you up handsome man." The water nymph was licking her lips as if she found a delicacy.

Sins survival instincts kicked into overdrive. He grabbed Alannah by the cuff of her shirt, and Ariya by her arm. Throwing them with all of his strength while he yelled out.

"We'll meet up at another time. You two get as far away from here as you can!"

Kyaku watched this all unfold with a smile on her face. "I suppose I can let those two fishes escape from the net this time."

Sin unsheathed his Soul Weapon and flipped the switch in his mind. His killing intent billowed out, bringing a slight crease to Kyakus brows.

"That's a pretty impressive killing intent for a little human like yourself."

Kyakus body became encased by an aqua blue full body armour.

"That however is nowhere near enough to face me. A little human like you, who hasn't even generated their refinement armour. You should know better than to participate in these trials."

Kyaku flew forward stabbing her halberd towards Sins heart. Sins weapon became as heavy as if a 1,000 tonne mountain was crumbling.

Sin raised his Soul Weapon up with one hand, slashing it down all his might.

[Impose] Wield something light as if it were heavy!

Sins weapon clashed with the Halberd, a huge blast wave was unleashed, Sin was launched backwards 500 feet. Kyaku was left there stunned.

"A puny level 10 human warrior wasn't blown into a blood mist after receiving my attack? This just got interesting."

Sin and Kyaku clashed many times giving the same results each time. However, Sin was quickly becoming exhausted. Facing a higher races pressure, and someone who outstrips himself in combat power was extremely taxing.

Sins aura vanished as he used [Void Steps] while Kyaku was shocked, she was not worried by any means, the technique was rather mesmerizing to watch though.

Sin appeared behind Kyaku as lightning sparked around his body, Sins sword slashed out 75 times in one second, creating a beautiful lightning buddha.

[Spark Rush!]

Sins fist blazed with [Phoenix Queen] as he delivered a mighty blow to Kyakus temple. Sin appeared behind Kyaku, putting her in a choke hold. Through both attacks, Sin knew Kyaku let them slip by her defense. This greatly pissed Sin off, never had he been looked down upon in such a manner before!

"Since your so goddamn tough let's do it this way!"

Sin launched himself off the ground, his [Midnight Glory] Sacred Flame fused with [Phoenix Queen]

A brilliant yet deadly golden-black lotus flower shimmered in the morning sun. Its Aura raged as it sucked in all the fire essence within 1,500 kilometers.

Sin had been fighting with everything he had, just to keep Kyaku in the choke hold. His physique and God tier refinement method was showing their worth. But tricks only lasted so long against absolute power.

Kyaku swinged her Halberd backwards, impaling Sins stomach tearing out multiple organs.

Sins blood sprayed on Kyakus armour. But he kept his undying will strong, and bit through the pain. As his trump card had finished preparing, Sin smiled to himself before shouting.

"Yippee Ki Yay mother fucker!"

A beam of blazing golden-black flame shot down pummeling both Sin and Kyaku.

[Midnight Queens Fury!]

The beam pierced through the ground, creating a massive heat wave spreading out in the distance.

Sin was powerless, his body had blood burst out from all over, and steam was emitting from his bare upper body. Sin let go of his grip on Kyaku. Plummeting towards the ground, Sins body made big cloud of dust from the impact.

Kyaku was in midair still, her armour had slight cracks appearing as her helmet shattered into pieces. Her beautiful long blue hair was in disarray, and blood leaked from the corners of her lips.

"I was going to let you fuck me and be my pet, but now you've pissed your big sister the fuck off!" Kyaku roared as she threw her Halberd in a rage, piercing downwards towards Sins head.

Sin looked up weakly as his last thought went through his head. "Fuck me, I think I bit off more than I could chew by pissing Snakey snake off."

Just as the Halberds tip was about to pierce through his forehead, a tear in the void appeared, with a hand reaching out and snatching the Halberd.

A dimension shattering harrumph was heard before a cocky woman's voice followed suit.

"You are not worthy enough to kill the man my master has enlisted me to protect!" The Halberd was thrown back with insane amounts of strength.

Shooting towards Kyaku so fast, when the tip of the Halberd made contact with her refinement armour. Kyaku blew up into a chunky crimson blood mist.

This woman was naturally Shana. She walked over to Sins body and placed one hand on his cheat. A blue aura wrapped around her hand as she healed Sin. Sins injuries and spent energy recovered In less than 5 minutes.

Shana walked away in a terrible mood while she flew into long winded rant.

"Goddamn men and there fucking stupid actions! Oh Shana go protect him while I train his wife. Master I hope you get fucked in the ass by a Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

Sin who just sat up burst out into laughter.

Shana turned around with her fist clenched, she punched down on Sins head nearly breaking his skull.

"And what the fuck do you think your laughing about huh?! If it weren't for me, you'd be getting eaten by that fucking slut by now!"

Sin covered his head with his hands, a tear nearly escaping from his eyes.

"Well aren't you just a frisky one?" Sin said mischievously

Before Shana had the chance to beat on Sin more, she heard Ariya and Alannah returning. Shana vanished into thin air leaving a warning for Sin.

"Not a word about anything you just saw. if you say anything I will chop your dick and balls off!"

Sin shivered before he heard the worried calls behind him.

"Papa!" Alannah was running full speed and jumped into Sins embrace.

"Stupid papa bad papa!"

Sin hugged Alannah while patting her head.

"No need to be worried my princess. Papa is okay see?"

Alannah looked at Sin in disbelief.

"You just fought a level 75 Water Nymph. How are you even still alive?"

Sin was shocked hearing this from Alannah.

Sin questioningly asked. "How do you know that was a Water Nymph or her level for that matter?"

Alannah hung her head sideways with a questioning voice of her own.

"Your acting weird papa."

Sin was full of confusion, but he decided to not to bother about it now. What mattered is he was alive and that the Water Nymph died.

Ariya returned she too was stunned seeing Sin in one piece.

Sin seeing this sighed before saying.

"Yeah yeah I know, surprising I managed to survive right?"

Ariya nodded her head.

Sin sighed to himself before saying.

"Let's take it easy from here in, there won't be another miracle."

Sin picked Alannah up before walking off, Sin was unaware Alannah made direct eye contact with Shanas hidden figure.

Alannah transmitted her voice to Shana. "If you bring any harm to my papa I will kill you and your master!" Drawing her thumb across her neck as example.

Alannah then returned to her normal cheerful self.

"Papa I want to eat lots more of yummy food!"
