The Human Giant



"Is it saying that all immortal cultivation manuals have a hard stop once one becomes immortal? If that is the case, it makes sense why a few of the spells that Immortal Welse used were not included in the Immortal Tattoo manual." Yoze said as he began walking back to the Beast Hunter Sect library.

In Yoze's mind, he had doubted why he couldn't remember any mention of the Black Fog spell that blocked and hindered all five of his senses. Not only was there no mention of how Immortal Welse was able to create these more complex and powerful creatures by using an egg.

At first, he chalked it up to the fact that Immortal Welse didn't want to give him everything even though he was in a difficult position since they were his most valuable techniques. However, with the oddity in the Immortal Tattoo manual, Yoze felt that the possibility of Immortal Welse holding back information was low.

Instead, there was a high possibility that those spells were his own creation. With hundreds of years of life experience, it made sense that the spells provided simply weren't enough in certain circumstances.

Especially when Immortal Welse had to fight against demons and other immortals, being able to summon Blood Master rank monsters and being able to create a clone of yourself didn't matter if your opponent could simply turn you to dust.

With no additional spells that were custom-made for immortals, these new immortals needed to work harder than before and make new spells and techniques from scratch. However, creating spells and immortal techniques was extremely difficult and time-consuming, to the point that even an immortal like Immortal Welse had only enhanced his known spells and created only a few techniques and spells.

With these spells not being a part of the initial Immortal Tattoo manual and Immortal Welse not wanting to give more than he needed to, he simply didn't include them in the information he gave Yoze. So if Yoze wished to use the Black Fog spell or the egg technique, he would have to recreate them himself.

"Unfortunately, I am not going to be able blind my enemies yet, but that just means that every encounter I have with an immortal is going to be unique. Next time I have to ask them to give me all their spells and techniques instead of just their immortal cultivation manual." Yoze muttered to himself as he reached the Beast Hunter Sect's library.

As he walked closer to the building, he noticed that his White Tiger and giant serpent were on the bottom floor of the library, trembling in fear. Knowing that they were most likely frightened by the explosion that ate up half of the sect's territory, Yoze patted them on their heads.

"Don't worry about what made that noise. I already dealt with it and got a new weapon out of it," Yoze said with a smile.

Understanding that Yoze had dealt with the thing that had caused the explosion, the White Tiger and Giant Serpent both nodded their heads. Then, after looking at each other and seeing the fear in both of them, they felt comforted since if they were on the right side of the Beast Hunter Sect, they would not have existed anymore.

"It is time to collect my dues and go home, but first, I need to collect some books. Can you two go collect some crates and long pieces of straps and rope while I select the books." 

After giving them some comfort, Yoze asked them to grab crates and boxes so he could get as many books as he could. He was pleased to have the large beasts that could help him carry everything in one go.

With the help of the White Tiger and the giant serpent, Yoze nearly took all the books on the first and second floors before feeling that he had collected enough and traveling back to New Swamp Town. Knowing that there wasn't any possibility of being able to move all the crates inside the town, Yoze ordered White Tiger and the Giant Serpent to hide them in a nearby cave so they could collect them later.

Once Yoze had blocked the entrance to the cave to prevent any from accidentally finding the entering the cave, they went back to their journey back to the town. Unfortunately, by the time he arrived back at the gates of New Swamp Town, Yoze had noticed a flood of new people trying to enter the city.

Most of these people were martial artists that were either a part of the Martial Wheel Sect, the Beast Hunter Sect or any more minor sect that had decided to temporarily disband until the recent sect destruction storm had passed. However, what drew Yoze's attention was the massive army covered in dark brown armor lined up just outside the city.

Each one of the soldiers had a grim face as if they were going to war. As if they knew they would not come back in one piece. Not only that, the atmosphere of the entire town was tense as they looked at the soldiers with pride, worry, and sorrow.

Even the martial artists that had traveled a long way to escape from the town's purge had similar looks as they looked at the soldiers with gratitude. Yoze even recognized that Luvi, the grandson of the founding sect master of the Beast Hunter Sect, was patting the shoulders of the soldiers and giving them some words of encouragement.

"Even though I only knew you for less than half a day, I already treat you like my family. So regardless of what your mission entails, I will take care of your family for you." Luvi heaved as he gave his new friend a pat on the shoulder before walking away with his Giant Polar Bear.

As Yoze watched this all unfold, his curiosity to find out what mission would require New Swamp Town to send out their army peaked. However, it was only after listening to the conversations that the people around the soldiers were having did he lose interest in the whole thing.
