The Human Giant



Yoze turned his attention to his empty hands and could no longer feel the weight of the crystal. But the feeling of the crystal dust being absorbed into his crystal nerves was still vivid. 

He could sense that his crystal nerves were growing more and more saturated with crystal dust meaning he was getting close to reaching the next level. He couldn't help but smile as the speed of his progress was even faster than his expectations

And the main reason for this unexpected speed was his discovery that he could use both of his hands to absorb crystals. His rate of improvement in his immortal cultivation doubled at the expense of slowing his rate of absorbing crystals a small amount. 

Yoze was happy to make this exchange as that meant that he could go from taking four months before he could reach the first level of Nerve Accumulation to 2 months. Now that he had been using this new method for several weeks now he predicted that in a little more than a month, he would break through.

"Having two types of crystal nerves has its benefits. Not only did my rate of absorption of crystals increase but they also allowed me to absorb two crystals at the same time." Yoze smiled as he went to pick up another two crystals from the large crate in front of him.

"Knock Knock knock"

Suddenly hearing someone knocking on his door, Yoze turned his attention to the sound and saw Dreyer's spiritual energy behind the door.

"Come in," 

The moment Yoze told Dreyer to come inside, Dreyer busted the door open with a birthday cake. On the birthday cake was a custom candle that displayed the number 106.

"Oh, Regi's birthday is coming up in a few days." 

The moment Yoze saw the birthday cake's candle he was reminded of the letter that rogue immortal cultivator Regi had sent inviting him and his family over to New Swamp Town. 

"Yes, and Dad wants you to get ready so that we can get ready to meet up with Grandpa Regi," Dreyer said with a cheerful voice.

This was his and Tiki's first time in years traveling outside of New Swampscott City. So they were excited to see how things had changed and check out all the cool sights that New Swamp Town had to offer.

"Alright, I should be ready in 30 minutes. Also, I'm guessing that Jewel had already taken care of the transportation." Yoze said in a calm tone not letting Dreyer hear how suspicious he was over this trip.

"Yup, she had already rented out a carriage large enough to hold three people comfortably. She also mentioned that we didn't need a driver since she was going to be driving it." 

"Great, that should be enough for you, Tiki, and Dad to be comfortable during the short trip." Hearing that everything had been completed already, Yoze stood up and went to get himself ready.

As he got ready for the trip his mind began to race as he thought about all the things that Regi could be planning. His greatest worry was that he was going to harm his father in some way when they arrived. 

As an immortal cultivator who had reached the limits of what a rogue immortal could reach, Regi had a large bag of tricks up his sleeves. Just the fact that he seemed to be in control of several bodies of Blood Masters was already a strange trick that Yoze was weary of.

When Yoze remembered the fact that during the attack on his family, Regi had used his body to trigger the attack before quickly abandoning it. When he did get the chance to take a look at the body that Regi had abandoned he realized that it wasn't Regi's original body nor was it Winter's body.

Instead, it was the body of another old man that was dressed head to toe in the same black clothes as Regi's three puppets. Just imagining the number of people that Regi had to kill to use as puppets or extra bodies sent a shiver down Yoze's spine.

"I need to figure out a good time to quietly kill him," Yoze's eyes glittered with colorful speckles as his desire to kill Regi grew as he thought about how much danger he had put his family in.

Even though Yoze felt he could easily kill Regi in a blink of an eye he didn't want to upset his father who felt that he had made a great friend. Even though he knew his father would understand he didn't want him to deal with that extra stress.

Instead, he planned to take out Regi in secret by devouring his spiritual energy. It would be best if he was able to kill Regi spiritually while they were leaving but Yoze was willing to kill him during the trip in case he felt it was getting too dangerous.

After making a few adjustments to his plans, Yoze went outside of the Ten Tin Inn to see that Jewel was on top of a large carriage, and right next to it was Leah. The carriage was made out of special smoothed wood and had gold engraved into the wood.

Just a single glance at this carriage would allow anyone to see that this was a carriage of luxury and must have cost a large amount of money to rent out. As Yoze walked closer to the carriage he saw his father's, Tiki's, and Dreyer's spiritual energies inside the carriage already.

"Yoze are you ready to go? The others are already in the carriage so we can leave whenever you are ready." Noticing that Yoze had arrived, Jewel asked for confirmation of when they were leaving.

"Yup, we can go. " Yoze said with a nod to show that he was ready to go.

Being familiar with the route to New Swamp Town and the road not being unexpectedly blocked by a disguised martial art sect made the entire trip much smoother and they ended up reaching the town much quicker than they expected 

As they grew closer to the town they were able to see tall buildings above the town's walls reminding them of New Swampscott City. If it wasn't for the fact that New Swamp Town was much smaller than New Swampscott City they would have mistaken that they were going to another city.

As the group got closer to New Swamp Town they were able to see the long line of merchants, travelers, and residents trying to get back into the town. Seeing this long line reminded Yoze of how he was forced to stay outside of town while Jewel, Leah, and his father had gone inside to process their paperwork.
