Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Gia Ming and his subordinates, as well as Old Bho and the Bho guards, all stared at Dorian questioningly.

What did he want to do with that paper in his hand?

Was he trying to test the wind speed or something?

Everyone was at a loss at the youngster's strange actions.

But soon, their minds went blank, and their eyes dropped to the floor with what they saw.

Dorian raised his hand, letting go of the paper.

But rather than being blown away, it floated on the same spot, defying all the laws of physics they knew.

Testing, testing... 1, 2, 3...

Forgive them for being dumbfounded, but isn't this wind smacking their faces now? So why was the paper unaffected by these salty winds?

You could say it was tied to a string. But that would be impossible.

Strong? A strong to the skies?

This? How? You? When? Eh?

('0')

"Magic!"

Bho Jin's murdered words echoed out. And though Gia Ming, Bho Jin, and the rest wanted to yell out that there was no such thing as magic. But something made them swallow their words, having no other explanation for this weirdness.

Their jaws trembled with fascinating curiosity.

Magic... Did it really exist?

????

.

Vummm!

The paper suddenly enlarged 10 times its size, lighting up with a faint pinkish hue.

And it was only then that they wanted to scream and forget their identities.

F***!

Bho Jin was the first to tell. And the more Dorian did, the more he jumped, shook his grandfather, and pointed away like a 5-year-old.

And in the meantime, Dorian was chanting at his usual steady rate and moving his hands like the ninja Bho Jin thought he was.

~Shwshwshwshwshwshwshwshwshw~

Dorian's chanting caused everyone's heart to jerk back and forth severally.

The air became tense, the clouds above began swirling, and the entire body started using vigorously.

"Quickly, hold on to something!!!"

Someone bellowed, and the gang of ordinary people reacted instinctively.

Bloody Hell~...

This wasn't the time to be blown away by such magical abilities. That is, what if they get thrown aboard?

Old Bho's first instinct was to grab his grandson and protect the shouting moron.

Of course, the other Bho Guards also did their best to protect their masters.

And as for Gia Ming and the other Navy officers, they too reached for the rails, not daring to let go.

The ship twirled, shook, and moved with the heavy waves below.

Gia Ming was washed with salty waters as though he was in the middle of a Category 5 Hurricane.

'What a deadly move.'

Just like everyone else, Gia Ming was struggling to catch his breath after getting hit by deadly waves upon waves without stop.

At some point, he even felt the boat might overturn. But shockingly, the little bad boy proved stubborn against the waves, again defying physics by its actions.

However, Gia Ming didn't think the boar did this with its abilities alone.

Holding onto the rails with all his strength, he looked at his cousin, Old Gia, and the others close to the Grandmaster in shock.

That is, what did he see?

These people were standing like mountains!

They hadn't flinched or moved from where they stood all this while.

It was as though they were one with the ship. And even if the boat did a full summersault, he had a bunch they would still be standing in these same positions while upside down too.

Crazy... Insane... Not possible!

Since when did his cousin have the ability to defy the natural flow of nature?

(>°π°>)

For the first time, Gia Ming began doubting physics.

What next... Were they going to walk on water too?

Gia Ming and the other 'normies' thought they had seen it all.

But who knew this was just the beginning?

.

[Elder Ghu... Elder Ruddie... Elder Hou... You'll be one team.]

Understood, Grandmaster.

The duo hummed after hearing Dorian's telepathic message.

[Elder Hina (Old madam Ghu), Elder Mia... 2nd team.]

The ladies nodded.

[Elder Endo, Elder Gia... 3rd team... Elder Sheng, Elder Xiang Shore.... 4th team.]

Everyone knew who they were working with.

[Once in, split up. Objective: locate civilians; exorcize underworld entities.]

As for Bho Jin, Gia Ming, and the rest, they were coming with him.

The other elders weren't as strong as he was. Additionally, they would have their hands full with their current tasks.

So who else but him would look after these lot?

Of course, he also did this to give Old Gia and the rest the space to grow and improve their fighting abilities

He wanted to see just how much they had grown since they entered the academy.

So what better way to test them than out here in the field?

This was why he had them split up.

.

The shaking and rocking continued for what seemed like an eternity until suddenly, a crack appeared in the air.

What?!

Everyone had the illusion they were staring at a mirror that was constantly shattering, with lines running downwards until they touched the water's surface.

Break!

A strange image showed from the cracks, making Gia Ming, Bho Jin, and the others shudder.

This... This... This was too unscientific!!!

Behind the cracks was a strange barren land where the trees looked hunted and crooked with no leaves on them.

The soil was bluish black, the air constantly smelling of rot, and the skies covered with a thin layer of pinkish purple mist.

Old Bho and everyone felt their knees quake and wobble the more they started at the strange land beyond.

They didn't say they were chicken, but the strange sounds coming from that space was enough to make their shadows run for the hills.

Gulp~...

They... The ships that vanished were all in there?

Are you really sure?

Don't blame them for asking repeatedly.

It was really, really... Really, really, a creepy place.

(>π<)

"Everyone, drop your guns."

What? Drop their weapons?

Everyone stared at Butler Sheng speechlessly, as though saying: Have you lost your bloody mind.

So you want them to go in there unarmed against who knows what?...

Impossible!

Think again, buddy.

Their gun stays!!!!
