Enveloped in protective lights, two figures travelled through the space while in an unconscious state, time passed as the energy was used the protective light dimmed and weakened!

Crack! suddenly, a number of huge rocks collided with the barriers, causing the appearance of several fissures, varying from small to big, however, in the next moment, runes flashed and repaired the damages, and in return, the protective barrier's radiance dimmed once more,

By then another rune appeared, however, that one was of a different shape, rather than repairing the barrier it floated above the unconscious duo, and then started shaking violently, a moment later it separated into two smaller runes although they were similar to the original.

The two runes floated above the duo's foreheads, as a line of energy with similar looks to that of a tentacle moved slowly from the runes and touched their foreheads, a moment later the energy inside the duo's body started circulating in a profound way and then it was absorbed by the rune to eventually be transformed into energy that would support the barrier.....

Myriad Dao World

Sebastien stood, floating amidst the air looking at the ancient ruins below, his senses were sharp enough to see far beyond the surface to the underground structure, however, the battle there had long ended!

A man in silver armour lay gasping for breath above a hill of corpses, surrounded by four badly mangled bodies. Thomas's eyes dimmed gradually as what remained of his life barely kept him from passing the line between life & death.

Suddenly, from the outside, Sebastien spoke " Take that man to the Blades, and make him a worthy one! ". unbeknown to Thomas his future had changed from this point.

" As you command, my lord. ", a figure that silently stood behind Sebastien spoke, as its voice resounded it had already disappeared from its place.

Sebastien spoke again, " Find who's helping the Dark races, and make them pay a hefty price ", This time a shadow flickered momentarily and then disappeared " As you command, My lord " a faint and gloomy voice said.

A Few minutes later, a figure wrapped in a black cloak appeared in the distance, in the next moment they appeared beside Sebastien, an old voice asked " Do you think it's an insider? "

" Probably....." Sebastien said.

" ...Might you know the reason? " the cloaked figure asked in a probing manner.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

" ..... " silence roamed, a moment later Sebastien said,

" Someone at that level will not be interested in taking control of a low-level world like this! ", when it seemed like Sebastien was not going to answer the old man said.

" ...If it's someone from the clan's side, then there are some suspects, not all were happy that I married Davina, but they could not do to change it, later they targeted Elijah, but by then the latter started the trials, and his traces were covered by the Hall Master.... ",

" ..... they might have supported the Dark races for something but surely no targeting Arthur, not many in the clan know of his existence after all..."

" If anything was leaked then they probably think that Al is a disciple I'm grooming to control this world in our place, and not my son! "

" How come? " the cloaked figure tilted his head.

" ... You should know a thing or two about Arthur's bloodline's situation, and he recently started cultivating a Lightning Cultivation art, with such a faint bloodline, cultivation art and his innate aura that was drastically different from both me and his mother, other definitely won't think that he is my descendant, at most they would think he is a special Blood Knight that I raised. "

... the two's conversation continued.

.....

Unknown location, Abandoned world.

At the waist of a mountain surrounded by mist, stood an old village of a fairly large size, at its doors, a middle-aged man who looked to be acting as the guard slept on an old wooden wrecking chair,

His face was covered by a straw hat, while an axe was planted on the dirt beside him, the chair wrecked back and forth gently as the man enjoyed his afternoon nap, suddenly! a small child of seven or eight years ran from the village while shouting,

" Uncle, Uncle, UNCLE!! "

startled the man woke up groggily with annoyance on his face, and his straw hat fell from his face to the dirt, " Damn it, WHAT IS IT? " he shouted back!.

As if used to the man's tone the little girl said, " Tell me! Tell me! ".

" Tell you what? " the man asked.

" Grandma said our village is not called the mist village because of the mountain mist but because of something else! " the little girl said with eyes filled with curiosity.

" I don't know! ask your grandma " the man replied while he grabbed his hat from the dirt and dusted it, intending to cover his face and go back to continue his nap.

" NO!, you must know! " unwilling, the girl grabbed his hand and started shaking it!

Moments later the middle-aged man seemingly gave up as he said "It's because of the mysterious temple above! ".

The girl's eyes lit up, " What temple? "

" I don't know about it, you should ask your grandfather, as the village chief, he knows a lot of things! "

" YES! ",

" I'll go ask Grandpa now! ", energized, the little girl shouted and ran away in a speed no normal person could run at.

Having diverted the noisy girl away, the middle-aged man covered his face once again with the straw hat and went back to his nap.

Just before he closed his eyes he muttered something in a low voice.

" seems like we have two guests? "
