This type of experience wasn't new for me because I knew that if I had pushed the situation more, then maybe I would have lost everything that I had earned till now, and my harvest was not that bad because Bona collected much information while we got a clear view from the side of Spirit King. So it was time to accept our defeat and enjoy our survival, and once again I realized how correct I was that I didn't let any female join us, because thanks to them the palace was not joined to the spirit world, and thanks to it, the number of spirits was not endless. While I captured many worthwhile gifts for myself, it was time to return because my ribs and brain were nowhere near good enough to make me properly stand, so I got in the car while looking at Antak and others while this motherfucker Bona was still busy assessing the palace. Well, at first he was feeling like a cool guy, but now he was looking more annoying because this motherfucker didn't even come to help our asses, and it was only thanks to Kid that our asses were saved from that motherfucker, or we would have been turned to pulp like others. So to taunt him, I spoke in a pretty taunting manner: "Oh, Antak, do you know we have a pussy in our group that won't even think about saving the ass of his people while his people are about to turn to ashes? Some motherfucker was busy collecting information, while the raid surely made us aware of whom we should trust with our backs, right?" Hearing my words, Antak also understood what I was saying, so he also spoke in a ridiculed manner: "Oh brat, don't tell me, you were hoping a junior would help a senior; don't make me puke. The junior didn't have the balls to stand right in front of the spirit king to save his people's ass." Hearing our words, he smiled with ridiculousness and spoke while taunting with a firm manner: 'Yeah, surely Junior isn't bound to save anybody's ass other than his own, and don't tell me Senior was expecting a junior to save his ass, and if Senior truly required the help of his junior, then how can Senior call himself senior? Because the most basic rule of survival is that every person has to clean their own mess with their own hands, how can you expect someone to come and wipe off your shitty ass for you? We all have our own roles, and we can't expect each other to always stand by our sides, so we better at least first take care of our business before thinking about helping others!" Hearing his words, Antak and I both had dark expressions because we both knew that what he was saying was true—that if there is a team, then it is basic for people to clean their own mess and then only think about helping others—but surely we can't say that was applicable in situations like today, so I spoke in a sighful manner: "Bastard, do you know who we found in the basement?" Hearing my words, he looked at us with the same expressionless face and spoke, 'Of course, it was the spirit king, Yanma! The only spirit that could even shake the entire realm of gods single-handedly, the one who is said to be equal to the demon lords and supreme deities. That was the reason why I didn't interfere because I had some insane history with him also, and due to that history, I was sure that he wouldn't let us leave without tearing us to shreds. So thinking that you had senior and spear, I knew that you all would survive, and you also have that, so I didn't have to worry much about you all!" Hearing that these nuts knew about the person whom we were dealing with, he was still this calm. I was not much shocked because this creep was like this ever since I met him, while Antak surely was not feeling that great from this mess, and we soon reached the spot where Angelina and others were present, and before we could reach there, we saw that they all were already waiting for us, and seeing them this desperate, we all got the idea that they also didn't have an easy way with them, so it was better to pick everyone quickly, but the person who was most happy to see me was Nona. This little bitch was surely feeling quite happy to see me and was about to hug me, but to maintain her same shitty attitude, she cursed me and spoke: "Bastard, just where were you? Did you know what happened here? The spirits started popping up like crazy; every ritual of ours started backfiring, and the moment we were feeling that we might be able to survive, we sensed an insanely powerful aura from inside, which completely crushed our ritual right before our eyes!" Hearing her words, I realized that due to miscalculations regarding the spirit king and those strange rituals, their ritual must have gotten crushed. Well, it was just that I didn't think that spirit king would be personally living in that basement while experimenting on humans and spirits. This was the same shock for me as when I heard that Goddess Kali would be personally joining the war, and now even this Yanma guy has also started making moves. Now I was feeling more terror from the demon's side. What would they be pulling? If the divine and spiritual side has such moves, what would the demonic side choose, which is famous for ruthlessness and brutality? It will be quite a headache to hear of another big player in the game, and I even have to worry about that inner bastard. I didn't think that he would be a demon, and even the spirit king was shocked by him. So many questions lie in front, but no answers can be expected from the journey.
