Chapter 12: Chapter 12 A Little Talk with Zi
"Little Lad, why are you just granting me permission?
"you shut me out for what".
As soon as Dean gave access to Zi. Zi was furious at Dean for shutting it up.
"Oh! Zi exclaims when it recalls what Dean said after he granted access to it.
"How come you were able to kill him, without using the chaotic lightning energy". Zi Said with disbelief at what happened.
"I will always shock all those who doubt me"
"So you were not in full support of me winning right?
Dean could not help but ask Zi in a peaceful manner, like he was completely aware that he was being doubted but would not allow it to bother him.
"How come you were able to kill him without using the energy?
Zi asked again like it wouldn't stop until it got the answer it was looking for.
"I guess it is because I am capable and a genius, understand" Dean replied.
"My name is Dean, not Little Lad, that is annoying. I don't like it". Dean said with a serious tone.
"What you are mad at me for not telling you that you were being monitored". Zi asked and continued
"Why can't you check your environment frequently with divine sense even if you are fighting". Zi asked.
"Why have toys if not to play" Dean countered with a statement and continued
"If you can't be useful to me then there is no need to let you be active all the time, like what happened earlier is to be shutting you down sometimes"
"Are you planning to deny me permission, you can do just that". Zi didn't back down
"What is this?". Dean asks, showing Zi the token in his hand.
"Oh, that is a life-saving token with an attack in it meant to save the life of a specific person once it is crushed" Zi explained
"Oh no wonder I was feeling that something dangerous would happen to me when I saw him holding the token," Dean said and continued
"I will have to be extra careful," he said, cleaning invisible sweat from his head.
"Are you done with your stuff? I need to go and rest, after resting a bit to gain my divine energy I will go out to complete the kill, to help you get through your heat period" Dean said, a little bit tired.
During this time most of the cultivators that were inside Fountain Hilltown already found their way out of the town, seeing that there were someone able to kill Night Fury inside the town they had no option but to leave since he was the strongest inside the town.
And before the battle began he had already told them to retreat but he felt not killing a talented figure like Dean was a waste who knew that he would be the one losing his life in the process of clearing a potential threat?
In the end, the call was what led to his end. Most of the cultivators took one last look at Night Fury who was lying lifeless and at Dean to keep his face in their memory before leaving.
"You don't need to fight more people anymore, this essence energy will be able to complete all that is remaining so no need to bother".
Zi said while drawing the life essence it needed for Night Fury.
"Wow, that's nice to hear I will be able to rest for some time and avoid some fighting".
Dean said with joy for finally having what he had been praying for.
"Why are you so happy with resting? The road to getting stronger will not be easy, the more you walk the road, the more you will have to grow.
Zi said advising him and his journey of being strong was not an easy fit. So he has to be ready, with a steady mind would he be able to go far.
"I hear you Sir/Ma. Promise I will do my best, you know I am diligent". Dean said with a serious tone.
"Okay since everything is a little calm now we should talk. I don't truly know you, even if you are inside of me, I still have to know even if it is little about you to build our trust.
Dean said he felt it was about time that he knew more about Zi, not just the name and Zi zone.
He had died once so he was being careful and trying his best not to experience it again. If he should die it should be far off.
The experience of Zi not telling him that he was being monitored was still fresh in his memory and he knew it was his fault for not being vigilant enough, he felt they were indeed partners Zi could have told him.
"Okay I told you from the start that the more you grow the more you would know," Zi said and continued speaking without wasting more time.
"I am a system and my purpose is to help whoever I am in their possession to grow rapidly"
"Sometimes they would have to go through some tests to get somethings from me so that things would not be that easy for them".
Zi's statement was a little confusing for Dean but he tried his best to follow up on the information Zi was giving.
"Okay I got it, I've heard a lot about systems," Dean said in support of what Zi said.
"Let me show you, your profile" just focus your site a little with your knowledge sea call my profile," Zi said, which Dean immediately did.
"Name: Dean
"Level: Starter
Help/Assist point: 1000…..
Merit point: 00…..
Victory point: 500…
"Wow this is my profile," Dean said feeling that things were different from before.
"That is your profile for now if there is any update you will see it ". Zi said
"But for now don't ask too many questions the more you grow, the secrets of the world will be opened to you".
"I am here to guide you, I am not your enemy just know that", Zi said to Dean, giving him the feeling of a close friend.
