BXBX NOVEL Chapter 153 - Spirit Possession
But after repetitive failures, the heavens had a different idea, as long as Dante was still a child of heaven, then he had to at least follow the basic rules set meaning that he could still also be used for that...
As soon as the heavens came to the realisation that Dante could still be useful to it, the hesitation and anger it felt at Dante died down considerably. And so finally, in a strange twist of plans, it decided to include Dante in its little game.
It was this delayed decision that caused Dante and Klent to not recognise each other as Children of heaven at first.
And it was also this delayed decision that lead to the abrupt feeling of hatred between the two of them that we were seeing right now.
But even with all these factors and variables affecting Dante\'s circumstance as a child of heaven, Dante was still oblivious to it all.
All Dante knew was that he and Klent were both children of Heaven Meaning that a conflict between them was inevitable.
And if a conflict was going to happen Dante was sure he wasn\'t going to be on the losing side!
He had changed considerably from that weakling that could barely even fight people on his own level in the body refining stage.
He was simply incomparable to him from the past. Ever since he had awakened the memories of his past life, Dante had never truly lost, and this wasn\'t something that he was planning on changing.
Child of heaven or not, Dante wasn\'t afraid.
He would be a part of the heavens little game, but Dante wasn\'t just planning on being a part of it.
No, Dante was planning on dominating it to the very end!
With this new burning desire and ambition growing inside of him, Dante quickly shuttled through the forest, heading towards the designated location between him and Klent
.....
soon, after journeying for a few minutes, Dante approached a small clearing.
Here, the spread of trees was considerably thinner and it was also here that he could make out the figure of a person.
The person was stood calmly with his arms behind his back, while an emotionless gaze could be felt from his eyes.
"Klent." Said Dante coldly
"Dante." Replied Klent in a similarly cold fashion
For a few seconds, Klent and Dante just stared at each other, testing the other in a strange game of will
soon, Klent broke the silence as he started speaking
"I can\'t help but find this situation slightly funny," said Klent as he chuckled to himself.
"You were the first person I fought after I broke through my 3-year bottleneck, you were also the same person that allowed me to comprehend the first stage of sword intent and now you\'re also a fellow child of heaven!"
"if this can\'t be considered fate then I don\'t know what is!"
but Dante wasn\'t too keen on Klent\'s little musing and just interrupted.
"cut the chase Klent, there\'s no need to sit here speaking. We\'re both children of heaven. I\'m sure you know what the title entails by now. The fight between us is inevitable."
hearing Dante\'s word Klent just lightly chuckled.
"I know this, but even so, I still can\'t help but find this amusing."
As Klent was casually speaking with Dante, a totally different and much more urgent conversation was happening in his head.
\'Klent what are you doing?!\' asked sword master Rho in panic
\'You know your match for the boy. Said Sword master Rho in disbelief
\'I know I am not his opponent\' responded Klent \'
\'But Isn\'t this where you come in? You\'re the one who said you\'d be able to help me in a hopeless situation like this.\'
Hearing Klent\'s thoughts, Sword master Rho could only sigh
\'Well then boy, you better not complain about the result\'
As these thoughts were going on in Klent\'s head
Dante and Klent were still staring each other down.
suddenly Klent spoke, breaking the eerie silence between them
"Well, then Dante, I\'ll be going now, but I do hope you can at least put up a good fight for him." Said Klent with a strange smile on his face
"a good fight for him?" Asked Dante in confusion.
Hearing this strange sentence from Klent, Dante was left puzzled as to what he could possibly mean.
But before Dante could ask Klent, he lightly tapped his rusty sword.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
the light tap seemed to ring throughout the Forrest, with it getting louder and louder with each subsequent ring until it could no longer be described as a ring and was instead more like the deafening chimes of a tower bell!
The whole forest seemed to shake as disturbed birds and small animals were sent scattering through the forest in fear.
It was as if the whole forest was resonating with Klent.
Almost as if they were seemingly at one with his sword!
Suddenly, a giant pillar of golden energy burst forth around Klent.
The pillar of energy was so bright, the rest of the forest around Klent seemed to lose its colour. even Dante wasn\'t spared and was forced to look away from Klent for a few seconds.
After the light show around Klent calmed down, Dante turned back to see what had happened, but what he saw truly surprised him!
Klent himself hadn\'t changed much after the light show, but what had truly changed was the aura around him
If we were simply comparing auras, then the Klent now and the Klent from before were simply incomparable!
There was a dominating yet somehow tranquil aura about the Klent Dante was seeing.
Small fragments and visions of sword dao were actually occurring around Klent while the constant yet also calming hum of swords rang throughout the forest.
The new Klent seemed to stare at Dante with a new pair of piercing golden eyes as he spoke.
"It\'s my pleasure to meet you, little boy.
I have been quite intrigued at your recent performances," said the new Klent with a strange smile
"it\'s just a shame that our first meeting would have to be in these sorts of circumstances"
As this new Klent was speaking to him, Dante seemed to suddenly realise something
"so you\'re the soul that\'s been living in Klent\'s sword this whole time"
As soon as Dante said this, The new Klent seemed to twitch but Dante paid little attention to this and just carried on speaking
"I\'m also guessing that Klent\'s recent changes and improvement in strength all have something to do with you as well" Said Dante
As Dante said all this and came to this realisation an arrogant smile slowly started to form on his face
for a second the new Klent had a shocked look on his face before he burst out laughing
"Hahaha! You really do have a good pair of eyes on you kid" laughed Sword master Rho
"since you guessed it, I guess there\'s no need to hide it anymore.
Yes. I am the soul that has been following Klent around all this time. To make things easier on you, you can just call me Sword Master Rho."
But I just can\'t help but wonder?" Said Sword Master Rho
"This realisation. Is it something granted to you by your recent awakening as a child of heaven, or is it something you have known all along?"
If Dante was being honest, then he had to admit that this was something that he only realised right now.
But honest or not, it\'s not like he was going to tell Sword master Rho the truth worthier way.
Besides, it\'s not like this was something he had to think hard about before he even figured it out
Dante already knew that Klent had a fate changing treasure identification granted to him by his dragon souls
Dante already knew that Klent had a fate changing treasure identification granted to him by his dragon souls.
And after finding out that Klent was a fellow child of heaven and seeing the possession of Klent happen right in front of him, it really wasn\'t hard to put two and two together.
Dante had read a few novels back in the day, so Klent\'s situation actually seemed pretty cliche when he thought about it.. In fact, Dante was slightly embarrassed that it took him this long to figure it out.
