Chapter 23 - The Blood Moon Scroll

I stayed about four hours waiting for Lu-min to come back from my court, at least he came back alive. We went to the blood moon temple to find a tunnel to get to the underground temple. We kept looking around and finally found a trap door under a huge rug. We opened the trap door and under it looked like a bottomless pit. There was no light in it and no sign of the ground. We just had to take the risk and jump in.

We went in and kept falling. We were getting faster as we fell downward. It took about five minutes until we landed into a pool. We floated to the top and found ourselves in a red castle that looked like my inner demonic chamber. We kept walking around looking for clues and finally found a huge creepy looking door. It had a weird language on it, the door that Lu-min could not understand. When I looked at it, my left eye turned red but it didn't hurt this

time.

~~So~~ I could understand the language and the encrypted words said "Blood zone, do not open, unless dark energy is put inside door." Ha, the writer is dumb (I hate you so much). I poured some of my dark energy into the door and it opened, now something really weird was in front of me. The door was connected to an entirely different place. Outside the door was a field. We passed through the door and found out that from the outside, only the door of the castle could be seen and the walls of the castle was not there. The door was there but the castle was not.

It was night and the moon shined pitch red making the grass on the field look red and everything here red. There was nothing on the field, not even a tree. Lu-min and I walked around but found nothing. After some time, the door disappeared and the ground began to shake. Suddenly,

an army of undead started bursting out of the ground. I tried to use my sword blade but it didn't work, even sword techniques could not be used with qi. Looks like we have to defeat the blood moon zone to attain it.

We had to fight the undead with just swords and they were also strong themselves. They were about hundred so it does not look like something that would cause a lot of damage. Before we started killing, Lu-min said we should do a competition on who can kill the most undeads. Ha, this guy really knows how to party. We both rushed at the undead and started slaughtering them. It was really harder than I thought but any time I looked at Lu-min, I would want to kill more.

In about thirty minutes, all the undeads were now dead. I killed only thirty-eight while ~~Lu-min~~ Lu-min killed sixty-two, this guy is really something. We rested thinking of what to do next. Suddenly a single undead came out of the ground holding an orb. The

orb was releasing a lot of dark energy. Suddenly, a portal opened under the undead and more undeads started to rush out. Lu-min and I raised up our guard but this is obviously too much for Lu-min and I to handle. We kept fighting and fighting, it was about two hours since we have been fighting and we were getting really tired.

Lu-min had a plan. He would make an opening leading to where the summoner was. Lu-min rushed at them, slashing them with all his might while I ran behind him, jumped at the summoner and was about to slash it when it summoned a huge undead that blocked my attack. The undead used a huge sword to push me away. Oh come on, now we have to take care of that. The huge undead didn't seem to be attacking, so it's meant to protect the summoner.

So we had to go again. This time ~~Lu-min and~~ I charged at it, it could not

attack us both at the same time so he focused on blocking my attack. Lu-min then rushed and slashed the summoner but ~~his~~ the armor of the undead was too strong. There was no way we could kill that thing. Lu-min's sword even got damaged from that attack.

I had an idea. Since the summoner summons the undead with the use of the orb, I could just absorb the orb since it is made of dark energy. I sat down to cultivate while Lu-min used my sword to protect me from the undead. I started absorbing the dark energy and trying to convert it to demonic qi but it did not work. What the hell, this energy was not just normal dark energy. I tried to hold on the dark energy, but it was rushing into my demonic chamber.

I could not handle it. I wanted to stop absorbing but I couldn't, the energy just kept flowing into me. I tried dispelling it with my demonic qi but it didn't work.

The dark energy became too much, it was now more than my demonic qi. The energy could not contain with my demonic qi and the blue blossom jade's qi. The dark energy filled up my demonic chamber and broke the wall, pouring into my soul. This is just like the fight against the Blood Moon Sect.

My skin started to tear even after I had a rebirth before. The energy started draining my soul. I... could... not... hold... up... any... longer.

..... Uhh, I went through another Rebirth. Now I had an Inner demonic chamber, a blue blossom jade chamber and a dark energy chamber in my soul. So now I had an inner demon, a blue blossom spirit and a dark spirit all in one soul. I absorbed every drop of the dark energy.

I finally opened my eyes and I saw Lu-min looking at me like I was trash. I asked him what happened and he said "How could a human being do that to himself. Like, I saw your skin tear off!" Hmm, good thing he didn't see the other one.

He was concerned if I could keep going but I kept replying that I never felt better. When I was out, the door reappeared and we left. We got back to the red castle and there it was, a huge scroll. Lu-min and I ran and held the scroll. Immediately we touched it, we appeared back in the Blood Moon Court and we were with the scroll. Ha, we were finally out
