Chapter 20 ancestor's dream part two
Dez was also having his personal experience. But in his case, he was standing with his back to a group of people.
“Father, why do you have to do this? You're walking to your death. It's absolutely foolish.”
“Why not? The family is strong, prosperous and you all have grown up and built a family."
"We already have another soul Emperor in our family capable of ruling this Empire, my presence is not needed here anymore.”
“No, father, you're the only Emperor. The ruler of this city, you have built this from the ground up, why leave it now, why take this burden on yourself.”
“Melikai you don’t understand it's not a burden but a promise. They killed my sworn brother. There is no way I can accept it like this."
Some of the people present had sad faces, others cried intensely. It all seems that the person in front of them was already sentenced to death.
“Nothing will change my mind or shake my will even if I perish in the process. I just wish you guys can live a good life, and don’t let your actions shame me when I'm gone."
"Don’t shame the name Selklor."
"I hope this name can be carved in the lines of history. That is my will and only request. and I hope you guys can hold onto my last wishes.”
After saying those words this man did not look back. Not to his daughter or his sons, not to his 4 wives that were crying and being held back by others.
Holding his resolution firm he took to the skies.
White rings appeared around his body.
He sat there in the sky when the starlight rings appeared and disappeared frequently. It happens faster and faster until his body begins to dematerialize and he vanishes from the view of others.
Cosmic shift.
Dez saw the surrounding change. He suddenly appeared at a place that had a very disturbing smell. A land that had gray skies and red moons with bloody rivers. A land of corruption. Below him, he saw skeletons and zombies walking mindlessly.
In the sky instead of birds or flying beasts, ghosts and phantoms were wailing in sadness and grief.
This was the land of the dead.
Dez's body began to shine with a bright starlight color. light came out of his body in rings and shot out in a 360 degree around him expanding to the far distance. Power ring after power ring went out eliminating the lesser undead.
The rings swept the land, destruction, and disintegration of all undead followed. The starlight power was clearly very effective against this type of monster and was killing everything in his way.
From the far distance, he felt tremendous power rising. The legion was coming.
A raging mad roar came from far away but Dez could clearly hear it.
“Disgusting vermin, you dare enter the death continent to hunt my underlings. You seem Tired of living. Death shall cleanse the world.”
“ You garbage, you think only you have the power to cross to invade others. You come to my land spreading destruction, why can't I cross over to murder your filthy sorry ass.”
“Today I will seal you for good and for eternity.” Behind Dez’s ancestor, 7 portals opened, and out of them walked 7 Soul companions.
The first to come was an astral tiger. This beast looks majestic like no other.
His body looked like it was made entirely of astral energy but still, he had armor covering part of his body.
The second was the astral lord. The astral lord's body was white like paper and white hair falling all the way to the ground. He had a Crescent Moon in front of his face covering his eyes.
From the rest of his body, you were only able to see his white hands. The rest was covered in darkness with bright blue stars. It looked like he had ripped the starry night sky and used it to cover himself.
An astral chain came our third. This chain moves like a living snake that goes and wraps itself around Dez's arms.
And last came four different elemental lords. One of fire, Light, ice, and lightning.
They all descended around him. Dez saw how amazing the soul companion looked and was really wishing he could awaken already to have his own.
The chain attacked first and sent chains of astral power shot out like hungry ravaging snakes ready to devour all the undead.
The astral tiger called a rain of astral blast. All the elemental rained down attacks of fire, lighting, light, and ice on the undead. It was a terrifying massacre.
The astral lord had a sword in his hand and was moving at an extremely fast speed, he was the boldest of them all diving into hordes of undead and fighting multiple enemies at the same time.
Mortifying wails of evil spirit, ghost, and undead all sounded from all places and rushed in a single direction. The Phantom Emperor was coming with his legion.

Dez fought and fought. It was a never-ending battle, the ancestor was happy he was a chosen one and that his soul world does not only have a higher level of energy production than others but also that his ability was astral energy manipulation. Which was very effective against the undead.
Dez was learning a lot during this battle. The way to actually use his ability. He rains down skill after skill like his energy never ended. He didn't know how many different skills or how many abilities he used. In all this battling he had lost track of time.
His summons went up against the subordinates of the Ghosts, Poltergeists, Specters, Shadows, and Wraiths; all of them were Incorporeal Undead. This was the vanguard legion of the undead army.
But at the end, Dez stood there, with a sole undead in front of him bound by chains and rings of astral power. Suppressing and containing all his evil powers. But Dez's ancestor had also suffered some losses: his ice and fire elementals couldn’t be found; only his light and lightning elementals were left but they were badly damaged. They were still alive purely based on their elemental advantage.
His astral tiger had parts of his body missing, his armor old and rusted, his astral lord was the strongest and was heavenly targeted by the generals, but was the key to this battle having killed more than 4 undead generals and helping him fight the undead phantom emperor, but the astral lord is in a very bad state, his life force is diminishing every passing second.
Dez's right hand had a black and decaying look to it. You could see the flash start to fall apart and decompose. Ugly screaming faces crept up his arm which he had to use his astral power to push back and suppress but still wasn’t able to cleanse this evil curse. part of his astral chain also completely chained that hand sealing the evil power within.
He came here ready to die, how he was still alive was all thanks to his astral chain.
This undead type had been the hardest he had ever faced. they have a few really nasty abilities tacked on.
"You foolish human do you believe this will change anything? "Death is my only reward. The undead shall rise and the death shell comes to all who live.
No life can stand in our way. All life will join the never-ending marching legion of the dead for eternity.
This is just the beginning. I’m just the scouting platoon. You soon shall know sorrow your soul will forever suffer.
GWA GWA GWA you all will perish… PERISH IN AGONY !!!!
Shut up!
You annoying cringey bag of bones. Who said I'll kill you. Do you think I don’t know that after killing you, you will resurrect in the death continents, you will become the power of my future generation and your abilities will all be my Selklor family abilities that shall be your punishment.
Waving his hand Dez sent out a ring and sealed the skeletal head completely in an astral band.
Moving back Dez Appeared back in the human continent. His home. After appearing his eyes landed on a huge and mighty city in all its glory.
"I wonder how much time has passed?"
Then the ancestor spoke again.
"It's time for me to retire. Don't you think so too Dez?"
"My boy, I will leave behind great power for you, use it well."
Dez was shocked!
Did he mishear or did his ancestor really speak to him?
About one hour after the 3 kids laid down they all woke up one after another.
They all seem to have a different aura around them.
It seems they all had changed in some way or form.
All of them had lived through their own experience. And had grown tremendously.
Memories that lay deeply dormant inside their blood. Inside their genes.
Memories so profound that only Dream could dig them out. Not only did they understand how to use the bloodline powers in a more efficient way they even lived it and felt it.
Not only were they blessed with knowledge and a deeper understanding of their bloodline but each took something with them. Some sort of power.
Ethan when he woke up clearly remembered that feeling of pressure inside his body. Unknowingly he pushed on that feeling and pushed it like his ancestor did all around his body.
Power flowed through his body. A deep desire for battle rose in his heart.
He grew taller and his color changed into copper-like skin. But this time it wasn't 3 sec but a lot more. His chest kept popping power all over his body and he felt amazing.
The power of the mad raging Titan.
An ancient power.
Turning off his bloodline power he was extremely happy.
Suki's feelings still didn't calm down.
Suki also felt that she benefited tremendously. But she felt very emotional. She just experienced her first death.
She felt that despite the bad experience she gained a bond with the dragons she never felt before. She also felt her body had changed somehow, she somehow had a lot more energy. And also she could clearly hear her own heart beating.
While Suki was exploring herself Dez also woke up. He had a lot on his mind. Especially that ancestor's world bead.
“Raisel, could you take us all outside the Dream forest? I think we all desire to…. ”
Before Dez could finish his sentence he heard a scream of terror.
It was suki.
She was horrifyingly looking at Raisel.
With her butt on the ground, she was hastily pushing backward with her legs. Her eyes were like snake's eyes while she kept shaking her head in terror.
The next second raisel appeared in front of her and gently tapped her forehead.
Suki's eyes then revert to her normal pupils.
Then the others realize that suki did not have 2 different colors of eyes anymore.
Her eyes have fully awakened.
"Little girl, you should know that not everything is good for you to see. And at such a young and tender age.
If you look too deep you will find things you never wished to see.
A chill went down Suki's back after hearing those words. "Come stand up, don't embarrass yourself in front of your friend."
Suki then realized the state she was in.
"Ok kids now that we are done here we should prepare to return back to the city."
"Raisel what happened with Suki?" Dez has never seen her lose her composure like that. Something clearly just happened to her.
It was a backlash of her ability master Dez.
"Maybe she didn't know, But she just looked at a soul emperor. She has to be happy, she is still sane."
Looking at the kids Raisel happily nodded.
All the kids expressed their gratitude to Dreams and were ready to leave.
But before she left Raisel still had a task to complete.
"Found something?"
…
Asked Raisel telepathically with Dream.
