Soul Fusion Online

As Chi kited the demon, Ryu was behind it, slashing out with everything he had.  "Shit, is my damage really too low?" It seemed the demon was not even affected by Ryu's attacks. He felt like he was not landing any damage on it whatsoever.

Ryu continued to slash at the legs of the demon as he opened his skill window, looking for something more to use. He looked at the Swordsmen skill line and saw many skills. Currently, he still has 140 ability points. As he looked at the skills, Ryu realized there was a new path in the tree branch that was not there before.

[Dao Of The Sword]

"There are no actual skills until you reach higher into the skill tree, but each node actually adds an insane amount of damage. Almost 300% permanent damage boost if I get all the boost until the first skill which is called [The way of the Sword]. I have just enough points to get there too… Since I plan to keep using swords, I guess this should be it." Ryu made his decision and spent all his ability points on the Dao Of The Sword tree line.

*Ding!*

[System Message: You have chosen the Path of the Sword. Your future as a swordsman will be a long one. Only those who reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship can be considered a true sword god.]

[Damage with swords increased by 300%. An extra 200% was added due to being the first player to step into the Path of the Sword. ]

[New passive skill: The way of the Sword]

[With each swing of your sword that is infused with your Soul Qi, a sword ray will shoot out, slicing towards your enemies from any distance. Damage based on Attack Power.]

"This is a bit insane, but I love it!" Ryu checked his other skill lines and noticed each one had a Dao path he could choose from. "If there is no level cap in this game, doesn't that mean I can grab all of these Dao lines? Hehe…"

Ryu was excited to see what his future would hold as he went down the path of the dao. He truly did not need any skills, really, and the ones that the dao lines offered seemed to have very good skills once you reached certain parts of the tree line. There was nothing but boosts before each skill unlock, making those skills that much more powerful. "Now, I will stick my 40 status points into attack power as well!"

Ryu swung his sword and injected a bit of soul qi into it. Not only did his sword slice through the demon's leg but the sword ray that shot out completely severed the leg right off.

"Ahh! Damn human!" The demon yelled out as it lost its center of balance and fell to the ground hard. "Chi! Use your ability points on your dao line. Ignore the main skill lines!"

"Ah? Okay!" Chi only had a few points because she used most on her skills already, but she still had quite a few, so she was able to make it almost to the first skill. When Chi felt the ground shake, she quickly turned around to see the Demon had crashed into the ground, and part of its leg was still upright, sitting far behind it. "Ryu, you're amazing!"

"We can't give it time to collect itself! Hurry up and attack!" Ryu yelled out as he ran towards the demon. He tapped his foot off the ground and launched himself up above the demon, and landed on its back. He quickly made his way to the neck of the demon and slashed out with another sword ray.

At the same time, the sword ray hit the demon's neck, Chi had stabbed the demon right in the eye, causing it to yell out in pain and lift its head up, exposing its neck even more. Chi quickly retreated as she watched the sword ray slice right through the demon's neck, severing its head from its body.  The demon's eyes slowly dimmed. But from the look on its face, it was one full of confusion. It probably still didn't understand how it died at all.

Ryu jumped down off the demon's back when he got a quest completion notification.

*Ding!*

[Special Unique Quest: Demon of Roland Village Completed!]

[Reward: Wind Walker Movement Technique]

"Oh!? Chi! I got a movement technique!" Ryu yelled out happily. He only saw the question marks in the reward field so he had been wondering what he would get, but now that he has seen it he was very happy!

"What's that!?" Chi asked as she hopped over to Ryu and hugged his arm.

"It's a technique that will allow me to move faster. Hmm… I was wondering… If I take this technique as well as the cultivation method, and copy them, would they still be useful to others? Like would you be able to use this wind walker movement technique if I made a copy of it?" Ryu said his thoughts out loud.

"I am not sure, but you may be able to. The only thing we can do is try it and find out." Chi answered. But inside, she hoped it was possible then she could share with Ryu.

"Let's head back to the palace and see if it is possible. I also need to make some new armor. I can't keep walking around like I am. I wonder if there is anything useful on this demon..." Ryu looked at the massive demon that was now shrinking in size, reverting back to the beautiful young woman she was before. It was just that after her transformation, her clothes were destroyed, and now she was completely naked.

"Ryu, you can't look. I will check the body!" Chi made Ryu turn around before walking over to the dead woman.

Ryu stood there scratching his head: 'But I am a girl in real life though...'

Chi walked over to the body, stopping to check behind her to make sure Ryu was not looking. She looked the body over, only finding a single ring on the woman's finger. When she pulled it off, the woman's body turned into balls of light and disappeared. "Ryu, there is just a ring on the body."

"Hmm? Ring? Did you identify it?" Ryu asked.

"Space... Space ring… Ryu, it's a space ring!" Chi yelled out. A space ring was like a bag but time inside of it stopped.  This meant they could store food and other items for long journeys without worry about the food's expectation timer going down. It was an annoying fact about this world's items that some things had expiration times on them. When it hit zero, it would turn into rotten food.

"That's a good find! Hold on to it and ask Fu Shi how to make it yours." Ryu could see that Chi really liked the ring, so he was not going to covet it, but it did bring something to mind that Ryu did not think of before. 'When I can at least move my upper body, I will get mom to take me out and get Chi a real ring for her finger...'

"Thank you!" Chi smiled and ran back over to Ryu and stood on her tiptoes to kiss his lips. "You're the best!"

"And you are just too cute! Look how much your tail is wagging!" Ryu said as he wrapped his arms around Chi and pulled her close to his body. He suddenly felt his lower half reacting. He was not the only one who felt the twitch in his pants.

Chi also felt it and giggled. "Hehe! Someone seems to be getting horny! Let's go back!"

"Mmm.." Ryu hummed as he swiped his tattoo, teleporting both him and Chi back to the palace.  The two went directly into their courtyard for a hot bath and a quickie.

Greg Evergreen's home…

"Father! I know you wish to be good to Yuki due to her trying to protect Sister, but what you did today exposed that we are more than what we seem! Not to mention your ability uses your own lifespan!" Greg was not happy! The Evergreen family had kept their special abilities a secret for the longest time, and now his father exposed his!

"She would find out sooner or later anyway! Plus, I had to do that at that time! Her gene therapy was starting to be rejected by her body. If I did not use my power to stabilize her condition, she would have died a horrible death right in front of all of us! Greg, do you still say I should not have done what I did? Do you not realize who Yuki is!? If you don't, then you really should get your head checked. Yuki, to Trisha, is like humans needing food, water, and oxygen to survive. The one thing in her life that she can not live without is Yuki. If she died, I can guarantee with Trisha's personality, she would have committed suicide right then and there. So we would not have been mourning one death but two.

"Greg you're still young and have a lot to learn but do not be so damn biased about shit! If I do something I do it for a reason. I did not become king for no reason! I'm going back. "
