《The Lonely Wanderer》Chapter 17: Eril and Meril
Advertisement
Hearing all the notifications ring in his mind, Shenzi decides to put them on the backburner for now. What's most important, after defeating the demon general. Is to reclaim New Heart Village, and tear through the rest of the demons.
However, after gaining insight into the Gemini Constellation, Shenzi had to do a quick check of his Worldly Purification, summoning out the spirit from Worldly Purification. To his surprise, two mid teenage year girls come out together.
"Hello father, we are Eril and Meril. Thank you for supporting us with your Sword Qi for so long. Normally we would have been birthed during your 6 1/2 years of training. However, we felt your Sword Qi was nourishing and being birthed to early, would only give us a half ass foundation. Plus we're of the rare evolvable type most Weapon Spirits, stay at the same rank they're born as. However, for the both of us we are able to absorb the life force of enemies you have killed."
After their conversation, Shenzi is unsure of how he should take this all in. Imagine being in such a situation, your 16 years old. Two other teenage girls of roughly the same age or just a little younger, start to call you father. Hell, there would be no need for future pregnancy scares.
Putting it all to the back of his mind for now. Shenzi summons out his Worldly Purification and begins his slaughter of the demons. After a grueling day and night of slaughter. Shenzi had killed the remaining 3,500 demons gaining another 7,000 Kill Points. Along with the original 2500 he had before. Having two free Skill Points.
However, unlike skill points in RPG games, these skill points do not advance your technique level. Instead, they're meant on the side to stabilize the foundation, so there are fewer chances of Shenzi possibly falling along his path. This can be considered a cheat since with Shenzi's Worldly Compressed Sun, it is similar to getting 3X the benefit most would gain. However, in a war with the human race suffering from the demons, and their vassal clans. A brighter shining star can bring more harm to the demons while protecting the humans.

Having ridden the village of demons, Shenzi plans to train the villagers, while setting up a Mercenary system. The villagers can go out and kill demons of various ranks. Stage 1 demons at 1-3* level are worth 2 points, 4-6* level is 4 points 7-9* level is 8 points and the 10* level worth 25 points.
To encourage the villagers, Shenzi teaches them the various sword skills that Reiya had sent as a "book" into his soul sea. All ranging from offensive, defensive. How to utilize their Spirit Force in ways to combine with the elemental dao. As well as forming the Sword Seed to enhance the Sword Qi in general.
While Shenzi under Instructor Smith's teaching has been appraised as a Master level blacksmith. Shenzi puts up many of his created Swords, Sabers, Pikes, Spears, Halberds, up as redeemable with sufficient enough of Points. While also putting up advanced Sword Dao and Sword Technique lessons as 25 points each.
With all these incentives given, instead of being an overlord like many. Strength lies in numbers. Of course, it is still wiped out by absolute power. However, Shenzi himself is the absolute power while everyone else is the extension of his blade. Given such benefits, the humans of New Heart Village ONLY have the chance to advance and not remain weak.
However, while setting this up Shenzi also keeps a close eye on every villager. While humans are compassionate, for our own benefit we backstab each other just to "get ahead". With an eye for an eye mindset, we are our own self ticking time bomb.
One week passes relatively peacefully, Shenzi uses his Soul Smelting technique given by Instructor Smith, continually enhancing Eril and Meril. As well as making an example out of others, who kill each other for points. Shenzi in the mind of New Heart Villages villagers is seen as overbearing. But for the truly wise ones, as well as the demon spies. They know all too well, Shenzi was getting rid of the moles, Having farmed this Yang Major World for so long. The demons, of course, got human vassals to invade and stir the pot for human factions

And so with this Shenzi is not so lonely anymore. Gaining power continuously while strengthening the villagers. Shenzi can't help but think back to earth. This all started three years ago, if none of this happened. Would Shenzi have had the hope of saving Adria's soul? Would he have been able to dream so big? Yet inside the seeds of revenge are have been sowed. Will these seeds eventually turn into mental demons? Who knows but as of now Shenzi is only focusing on raising a base he can once again call "Home".
