Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World
Chapter 90: Monster

Chapter 90: Monster

"Monsters," Kenny Lin’s light voice echoed and accompanied by the explosion of the monster that shown in the holographic screen.

She was aware that the thing in front of her was a monsters, but Amalia wondered why these things could existed in this place.

"Could it be that the recent frequent incidents in Big Apple City are all also related to these things?"

A sudden realization then struck Amalia’s head.

"Did you come to Big Apple City for this?"

"Oh my, you’ve caught on me," Kenny Lin’s remarkably handsome face seemed shimmered magicly on the holographic screen.

"Why does Big Apple City have these kind things?" Amalia inquired further.

Kenny Lin casually slashed at the continuously surging monsters while responding to her, "They are exist all around the world."

"Where do these things come from?"

"There are some matters—"

"Is it not yet time for me to know?" Amalia interrupted Kenny Lin.

Kenny Lin’s gaze fixed upon Amalia’s eyes. His gaze always seemingly covered in the layer of cold ice that not easy to be melted away.

Although he allowing her to move into the apartment easily, Kenny Lin was actually very cautious, which could be seen in his many subtle actions.

But given his personality, being unguarded would be abnormal.

Before Kenny Lin could respond, Amalia averted her gaze, and focusing on the monsters that still ravaging behind him. He seemed to be the only one that fighting against the monster.

Kenny Lin’s slender fingers lightly brushed his face, and his dark pupils gleaming through the gaps between his fingers.

In an instant, he chuckled softly, "Some matters can’t be explained in just a few words. I’ll tell you more when i’m return."

As Kenny Lin spoke, a figure suddenly appeared behind him. He wore entirely black clothes like Kenny Lin, but he was exuding a full sinister aura All over his body unlike a regular spirit cultivator.

Upon comparison, there were still noticeable differences.

Amalia realize that she had been misunderstood. Kenny Lin is now facing a formidable opponent, and it was easy to get distracted if he was communicating with her while fighting. hence Kenny Lin’s choose to explain it to her later.

"You’re busy now, I’ll hang up."

Without waiting for Kenny Lin’s response, she cutting off the communication.

Kenny Lin stared at the disappearing figure of Amalia holographic screen. He then releasing a sigh before turning back his body to face the demon cultivators that was surrounded by several monster..

"Hehe, the heavens have been kind to me to sending me another spirit cultivator to be devoured," a crimson tongue stretched out from the demon cultivator’s mouth. It was longer than an average person’s tongue, accompanied by a wicked smile.

Kenny Lin chuckled softly, and tilting his head slightly. If the demon cultivator could see, he would able to notice that his pupils, even the whites, had turned into a deep ink black.

"Indeed, another one to feast upon."

Kenny Lin emerged from the darkness, and the pure spiritual energy on his body transformed instantly into billowing dark aura that was not less than that of a demon cultivator, or even purer.

"You..." The demon cultivator’s face changed, he seemingly realizing something, and abruptly turning pale.

"Could it be... you’re that person from the rumors?"

"Who knows which person you’re referring to. Since we’ve already met, then let’s not leave," Kenny Lin sighed.

Ten minutes later, Kenny Lin took out a milk candy from his pocket, sucked on it, and slowly vanishing into the darkness.

Half an hour later, when members of the Spirit Cultivators Association arrived, the battle had been long ended.

The surroundings are were in chaos, but similar to previous incidents, it hadn’t alarmed the nearby populace.

"Cruz, they’ve been ahead of us, and dealt with it again," a young man with green-dyed hair expressed frustration.

The expression of Cruz also solemn, "I saw it. Whoever they are, or this person, they always manage to outpace us."

"In order to set up such a massive barrier without alarming the residents nearby, it can’t be just one person."

The green-haired young man felt the term ’this person’ that being used by his boss is a little bit underestimated the situation, and It wasn’t just demon cultivators but also those filthy things too.

"Regardless of who they are, we need to ascertain their motives first. Whether they’re a mere demon slayers or they have an ulterior motives."

Cruz furrowed his brow, "The Superiors also have given us this task."

"If they’re demon slayers, wouldn’t it be easy to find them? Just check the one who claimed the bounty missions," the green-haired youth felt that this matter was obviously very simple.

"If it were that simple, do you think the superirors would give this task to us? and also after all of these incidents, have you ever seen any corpses of these monster?" Cruz’s tone shifted.

The green-haired youth’s face changed, "It seems like I haven’t seen any corpses of monster, only the demon cultivators’ bodies."

"Exactly, we need to figure out why they took away the monster’ corpses," Cruz then inspected the surroundings area while speaking.

"Cruz, there’s something I don’t understand. While there have been demon cultivator in Big Apple City before, it’s never been this frequent. Is there something that attracting them here?"

Cruz’s expression became serious, "This isn’t something you need to know for now."

Seeing the seriousness in Cruz’s face, the green-haired youth realized there was no point in pressing further and stayed silent.

The two searched the area near the battle but found no monster except for the demon cultivator’s body.

The air still retained a strong taint of impurity, indicating that monster should have been appeared here.

They just needed to understand why the monster body were taken away.

When Kenny Lin returned to the apartment, Amalia hadn’t gone to sleep yet. She was still tinkering with Martin’s eldest daughter’s artifact.

Upon seeing Kenny Lin, she didn’t inquire about the monster.

It wasn’t until they were about to sleep, with Amalia settling into bed and Kenny Lin on the floor, that Kenny Lin suddenly nudged his foot against Amalia.

"Aren’t you going to ask me?" he said.

"You speak, I’ll listen," Amalia rested her head on her pillow, without a hint of drowsiness in her eyes.

She realized how little she knew about this world.

How could Kenny Lin not guessed what she was thinking; otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought it up voluntarily.

"Everything in the world has its most basic opposite. Where there’s black, there’s white; where there’s light, there’s darkness."

Amalia glanced at Kenny Lin on the floor. The moonlight pouring in from the window, and half of it falling on him, making him appeared like being divided into two halves, one side is in darkness.

"And what about you?" she asked.

Suddenly, Amalia began to understand why she couldn’t quite grasp what kind of person Kenny Lin is. It was because he always gave off a sense of being both righteous and wicked.

Some people could discern from body language which side someone belonged to, but he couldn’t.

Every time she felt Kenny Lin might belong to the light side, his actions hinted at her that he was someone who walked in darkness. It was very contradictory.

"Do you believe in absolute black and white?" Kenny Lin countered.

Amalia pondered for a moment. "No."

Kenny Lin’s words triggered memories of past events. In truth, she had thought about this question long ago.

She knew someone who could harm even a child but, at the same time, show kindness to a passing stray cat, buying it food and finding it a warm place.

They were both a contradictory amalgamation.

When Amalia expressed this, she didn’t look at Kenny Lin.

Hence, she didn’t notice the subtle smile creeping onto his face, and his eyes seemed shining like countless stars.

"Since spirit cultivators possess powerful abilities beyond humans, they’re destined to have a responsibility and obligation," Kenny Lin’s tone turned sarcastic when mentioning responsibility and obligation.

"Those monster?" Amalia asked.

"No, that’s just incidental."

Amalia: "..."

She always assumed so, given Kenny Lin’s that always had an expression of ’I’m about to expound on profound truths.’

"The real enemy of humanity isn’t the monster or demon cultivators; it’s the enemy from the deep sea. Do you know why, even in the Dharma Ending era on Earth, there are still so many spirit cultivators?" Kenny Lin asked with an intriguing tone.

Amalia shook her head.

"That’s due to Heaven’s mercy."

The tone was enigmatic, with little reverence.

And it more like mockery, Amalia thought.

However, his words coincidentally unraveled her initial two doubts.

From numerous sources that she had been read, Amalia had learned that the Earth in the Dharma Ending era lacked spiritual energy.

Even if it were an ordinary spirit cultivator, without spiritual energy, even the lowest fifth level spirit cultivator might struggle to sustain themselves.

Another doubt was about Earth’s destruction, which might be related to the enemy from the deep sea, but it wasn’t something she needed to worry about at the moment.

"Get stronger."

Kenny Lin opened his eyes, the light was reflected in his eyes as he looked towards Amalia. His smile not overly radiant but more like an expectation for something.

The bedroom fell quiet.

Just when Kenny Lin thought Amalia would stop talking, she suddenly spoke.

"I want to kill someone."

Kenny Lin chuckled softly, "The Incubus Boy?"

Amalia wasn’t surprised he guessed, she simply hmmed, "Since his existence threatens me, I want to take care of him before he strikes."

"And there’s another reason, he threatens your friend too," Kenny Lin’s lips curved, and gradually unraveling Amalia’s disguise bit by bit.

"You know, you have a clean and sharp skillset. You have a heart that shows no mercy to your enemies. I thought you were a ruthless person that unaffected by anything. Someone like you is very rare even among spirit cultivators. But every time you appear, you always refreshed my perception of you."

"You’re rational yet not irrational. You never afraid facing formidable foes. You’re like a calm assassin, yet you sympathize with the weak. You’re like a contradictory amalgamation. I’ve been wondering, what kind of place that could nurture someone like you."

Amalia could sense Kenny Lin’s intense gaze fixed on her.

However, instead of meeting his gaze, she choose to closed her eyes.

Hm, just when she considered him as a contradictory amalgamation, he also threw the same sentence back at her.

She vaguely recalling someone that had once said similar words to her. That person, later on, vanished without a trace, or perhaps even died.

"So, what are you trying to convey?"

"Do you want me to help you kill the Incubus Boy? My fee is quite steep," Kenny Lin didn’t answer, and took the initiative to return to the main topic.

Amalia had checked the Incubus Boy’s bounty price; within the Accacia Duo, the Incubus Boy was the real threat, so naturally, his price was much higher than the Succubus girl’s.

"I don’t have that much money."

Although she had earning a fair amount of money recently, his expenses were also not small, especially in the early stages when he purchased expensive materials to familiarize himself with unfamiliar formation.

"I don’t want money," Kenny Lin said.

"Then what do you want?"

Kenny Lin didn’t immediately respond.

Amalia had to turn her head again to look at him. Under the moonlight, Kenny Lin was unrealistically look very perfect. His eyes seemed to be able to speak, and shining in the light.

Only later, she realized it wasn’t the ability to speak or confidence, but a charisma that was unparalleled in the world.
