The World Of Demons And Gods

The man couldn't take the force of Cyrus' fist and passed out, his body limped forward at Cyrus, before he could even touch him, Cyrus grabbed him on the back of his collar then leaped down the roof and landed on the road.

He quickly got surrounded by the police and on their faces, they were full of admiration and amazement.

Seeing the faces of the policemen, Cyrus lightly smiled before releasing the man on his hand then fell on the ground with a heavy thud.

'I guess I can finally get my horse!' Cyrus thought to himself before approaching the group of policemen, on his other hand, he was holding the thing that the man stole. Seeing the gemstone on his hand, The police who drank the tea came running towards him and gave a slight bow at Cyrus, "Thank you so much for the help!"

"Hahaha, it's nothing… Now then, where's my horse?"

"Oh, you don't have to worry boss, that's your horse, it's my personal horse and it's travel ready!" The cop enthusiastically said as he pointed at the horse not far away from them, and he started calling Cyrus as his 'boss'.

Cyrus looked at the direction where the cop pointed his fingers, and what he saw is a tall horse with a complete set of equipment, however, this horse is very different on the ones you could find on earth. Because this horse has a fluffy long ear and the pupils on its eyes were slanted… It also has whiskers on its snout.

In fact, seeing this with his eyes, he finds this animal exotic. Extremely exotic.

The cop on his side took something from his side bag and when Cyrus looked at it, it was a thick handcuff, however, this handcuff isn't normal because this has a special engraving on it and the metal itself is very special because it creates a suppressing aura whenever Cyrus tried to inspect the handcuff.

"Is that a handcuff for demi-humans?" Cyrus asked in great interest.

Hearing his question, the cop nodded as he started putting the handcuff on the man on the ground, "Yes, however, this kind of handcuff would only be useful to this demi-humans to what they call Knight rank and below. Above those rank, special forces of the Alexandrian Police can use more powerful handcuffs." He explained.

"Hmm…" Cyrus looked at the handcuff, and he thought that this kind of material can be used for humans to fight the demi-humans if they created bullets and use black powders to fire a gun, however it seems that humans haven't grasped the idea of it.

After cuffing the man, the policeman looked at Cyrus and once again bowed at him with respect, "Thank you for helping the police."

Cyrus smiled and turned around as he waved his hands at them and went towards his newly owned horse.

He touched the snout of the horse and what he found out is that their behavior is extremely the same as horses, although their appearance isn't graceful as the horse back on the earth, these horses have fluffy ears!

"Hi there, I'm your new owner I hope we can be good friends!" He softly said.

"Neighh~"

Cyrus pats the snout before mounting on the horse, finally he flick the reins and move forward, he did not bid goodbye or anything to the group of police, however, the policemen were shouting and bidding him good luck and goodbyes.

…

...

...…

Outside the city, Cyrus increased the speed of his horse to the max and seeing its speed shocked Cyrus, this speed can match him at his full speed, it might be even faster!

"You're amazing!" Cyrus laughed while patting the horse before focusing on the road once again.

Hours of traveling on the long dirt roads on the vast grasslands, Cyrus looked above the skies and noticed the sun is just above him, "It's already noon…" He muttered before looking at his horse, "Let's slow down a bit okay?" He patted the horse.

Cyrus stops and rests every 30 miles by the river for his horse to drink water.

…

...

...…

Hours and hours of traveling, the sun is already sinking on the beautiful horizon of this great plains on the land of Alexandra, Cyrus obviously noticed this. "It's already dark, the horse is also tired… I guess I have to set up a camp near the river."

He patted and lead his horse off road and went to the nearest creek, as for choosing the area, he chose the area where trees are near at the creek.

Cyrus tied the horse at the tree that has a high ground for it to sleep and near enough to the creek to drink some water, Cyrus also gave a temporary bed using grass on the surrounding area for his horse. After it was done, he stretched his back while yawning.

"I guess, I'll take a bath first. Those guys earlier spurts too much blood, it made my body quite icky." Cyrus removed his clothes and slowly went to the creek then bathe himself. The creek was very clean and crystal-clear making Cyrus quite happy, not only that due to the hot long day, the water is still warm.

While he's at it, he started catching fish with his b.a.r.e hands, and sure enough, Cyrus caught plenty fishes, after that, he quickly finishes his bathing and using his fire anima his wet skin went dry as water vapors flew to the air around him, as soon as he did that, he took some clothes from Lynae then settled down.

Oh, you might be wondering if the spirits inside his dantian are able to see him bathing and seeing his dingdong. Well, the truth is, both Lily and Lynae are too shy to see such thing, because, for Lily, it wouldn't matter if Cyrus is only 16 years old however after knowing that Cyrus mentality is an a.d.u.l.t which is the same as her age, which is 43, she's too shy about it. Meanwhile Lynae there's no denying the fact that she's curious however she knew it's inappropriate to see someone bathing n.a.k.e.d, oh Lily is still asleep this time.

After Cyrus fixed himself up, he took camping equipment from the storage pack of his horse, he started building it and started a campfire, when there's enough heat to cook a fish, he started roasting the fish.

"Man~ I haven't eaten breakfast and lunch yet, but I don't feel hungry at all. Being paladin rank will take one and half a year before they could starve if they are not eating, being a human to a cultivator really makes my old habits feels fascinating." He muttered silently as he watched the fish getting roasted, with the sizzling sound coming from it.

[Cyrus, did you finally arrived on the kingdom?] Lily's voice rang out from his head.

"Oh, good evening, you have a long sleep eh?" That's right, Lily has been asleep when he arrived on this kingdom, she got exhausted transferring her anima to her child and when she was about to sleep she gave Cyrus a notice.

Cyrus smiled and replied to Lily's question, "Yup, I had arrived here early in the morning and there are small interesting things that had happened earlier back on the town where I first arrived." Although there's no one around, if people looked at him while he's talking with no one around, people would surely feel that Cyrus isn't right on the head.

[So, what do you think about this country?]

"Nothing really special, although there are some amazing things and equipment here that I have learned, with my past life experience it felt like everything feel a little shabby here hahaha."

The two started chatting and both seemed to be happy, and when they finally have any subjects to be discussed, Lily spoke,

[Hey, I think it's fine to start refining the pills that your mother gave to you.] She casually said and continued, [And since I'm awake, I can protect you so you shouldn't be worried about your protection or something that will distract you.]

Hearing this, Cyrus chuckled lightly, before responding he ate his roasted fishes quickly, and as soon he finished he stood up and clenched his fist as he assured, "Alright! I'll leave everything to you!"

Cyrus went inside his tent and sat on lotus position, he asked Lynae for the wooden box and when it appeared at his hands once again. The rather familiar unique aura has once again radiated into the air making Cyrus feel light. He took the bottle and took one pill; this bottle contains three-coin size pills.

The pill's appearance was rather unique, it has a faint blue color and the aura it releases were soft yet heavy, it gave off a warmth feeling yet suffocating to Cyrus.

He stared at the pill at his had for a while and as soon as he built up his courage, he took a deep breath then deeply exhaled, "Here's goes nothing!"

He popped the pill through his mouth and with a gulp, the pill went straight to his stomach.

*Swiish~!*

A powerful surge of anima suddenly created a vortex around Cyrus and he was shocked to see this, he quickly closed his eyes and soon, he started cultivating and started absorbing the surge of rich anima on his surroundings.

As his body attracted rich anima on the surrounding, his body has also started improving, from muscles, bones, and veins, they started to get nourished on extreme rate! This made Cyrus' body stiffed and in fact, he felt that his entire body is made out of stones!

It's no wonder why Shane had noted that Cyrus needs to ensure the surrounding from distraction!

The energy from the pill acts like a super glue and that's the reason why Cyrus' entire body stiffens, and the only thing he could do is to release then absorb again the energy in circulating manner to soften this energy from the pill, and by doing so, it also his refined his anima in purest form! Not only that, it causes Cyrus to expand his stamina!

Outside, the scenery is astonishingly beautiful! On the vast grassland, if one could see what's happening before their eyes, their eyes would pop out of their sockets and if they're cultivators, their temptation would go uncontrollably run for it and try to absorb such amazing vortex of rich anima!

The pillar of the vortex of anima had a beautiful rainbow color, and inside it, the youth, inside his tent had his pores open and absorbing the colorful and rich anima on the vortex on his surrounding, not only that, his tattoo, unknowingly is activating once again.

However, due to the strong force of seal, the tattoo could hardly spin, however, such spin actually absorbing anima on the surroundings, although it was much slower compared to Cyrus' absorbing speed, it was no by means slow!

…

...

...…

Night has passed, early on the morning, the vortex of anima has finally grew weakened until it dissipated into the air. Soon, Cyrus opened his eyes and there his eyes once again had a vivid color and sharper than ever.

Staring at his fist and feeling the power within his body, he was amazed at the improvements in his abilities and skills! Although it wasn't much, don't belittle such a small improvement because every cultivator just to get a slight improvement on their strength, it would take days, months, or even years to have those slight qualitative improvements to their strength!

And the higher the rank is, the tougher to have those small improvements!

And to Cyrus, although there's no increase on the force of his fists and feet, there's however an improvement on his mental state and physical agility! Not only that, he noticed that his anima reserves have also increased a little if he could see his anima pathetic river that looked like a creek, the depth of his shallow creek had increased half a foot! Not bad for Cyrus!

"Such a terrifying and precious pill…" Cyrus muttered in silence as he clutched his fists tightly, on the bottom of his heart, he was extremely grateful for his mother and the love for his mother have grown deeper once again.

On the bottle of his hand, he stared at it once again… There are only two pills left…

The better the strength, the better I will survive in this world!

Without hesitating, he popped one pill on his mouth and did the same process once again.
