The God Who Watch Above

Chapter 6: Holy Spiritual Bead

Inside the Dying Land, in a certain lake.

"Is this a spiritual lake?" Robin ponder for a while as he touch the surface of the lake. Upon direct contact, cool and refreshing feeling surge inside his body.

The lake was not too cold nor hot, but it was just enough to give a person relaxing moment. The lake rippled upon the light tap on its surface, creating a beautiful consecutive waves.

"No. It isn't really a spiritual lake, but nonetheless, it can still help someone recover their energy by taking a bath on it." Robin receive an answer after careful analysis.

As Robin was about to walk away from the lake, a sudden breeze rushed towards him. Robin felt something dangerous and immediately took out his mysterious bow, Pheonix's Bow, and struck it in front of him.

Bang!

A metallic collision suddenly echoed as Robin was actually sent flying away from his Pheonix's Bow.

"What the! That.. that's so strong!" Robin was surprised by the sneak attack. He didn't expect that he almost die if he was a little careless.

"Oh, you fend off my attack? Good job." In the calm lake, a sudden movement appeared as the water start to twist upward until it form a human body.

The water that became human, or in simpler terms, the water spirit exudes an ordinary aura but Robin didn't take it for nothing. He was not fool and blind. That attack just now almost end up his life so if he take it lightly, he don't need to know how did he die.

"Why did you attack me?" Robin was a bit confused since he didn't even do anything and yet, he was being attacked.

"Because I want to? Anyway, you really do have a great potential, so, wanna get the treasure beneath this lake?" The water spirit said in a meaningful tone as he anticipate what Robin will answer.

"Hehehe... I may be rude but please, don't take me for a fool. I will be offering my life if I agree with you." Robin said as he let a smirk. He felt like he's been too smart for the water spirit.

"Well, If I want to kill you, I'll be able to do it with just a wave of my hand, don't you think so?" The water spirit replied with a calm composure.

Robin, of course, know the underlying meaning behind his words, but since it was true that he's weak, he just let it pass.

"Well, what you said is indeed true. But I never see some treasure keeper letting someone take its own treasure." Robin said as he touch his Pheonix's Bow.

"Hehehe... It's because I'm unique. And also, what you said is not quite right. I indeed ask you if you want to take it, but I never said that the road is open. Of course you need to be beaten up half-death to get it or else it would be the shame of me for the rest of my life." The water spirit explained while walking around the lake.

"I see, so you want to beat me half-death then? And why would I let that happen? Just for some trashy treasure?" Robin find the water spirit scheming.

"Tr.. trashy treasure?! What do you think of me?! Are you looking down on this Heavely God Crystal Lake Water Spirit?!" The water spirit said in anger as he took a portion of water before freezing it and shaping it into a spear.

The spear was then thrown towards Robin with incredible speed since it just teleported right away from Robin's position. The power that the spear holds were so strong that blasted Robin away despite the Pheonix's Bow defending him for a few meters. Actually, there's even a crack on the energy bead on the center of his bow.

"I.. I'm sorry." Robin was so scared that he didn't even hesitate to apologize despite his anguish for the crack that appear on his Bow.

"Hmmp.. you better be careful with your words when talking to this Crystal Lake Water Spi... Ah damn, why is it so long to pronounce! You better be careful with your words when talking to this Divine Spirit!" The water spirit finally calmed down.
