Chapter 08 - Dream
Jian Nan already gave Xiao Yu treatment in the infirmary, and using a few herb that been mixed with light-magic essence to fast recovered. However, Xiao Yu only able to wake up for a brief moment. After he eat the warm food prepare by Jing'er, he went back to sleep to rest his body.
As I went back to sleep. Peacefully, I was emerge to the dreamland. In this dream I found myself in my previous world. Currently with my party consist of 7 people. I'm as a leader, and my sister as support from rear. with another 2 healer, our exploration of the unknown dungeon proceed smoothly yet coutiously.
This time, I dream where I and my party was going to venture to the Dungeon Called "Abyssal Dungeon".This dungeon coincidently was near to my house. But our house no one was living there. The two uncles and the two aunts already having childrens, both of the family was living in the capital city.
Since both of them was serve our grimoire family, I can only part with them after giving each family 500,000 gold coins. This riches was not belong to me, because this is my deceased brother riches. He said use this when the time is right, I guess that time is the "right" time since both me and and my sister was planning to leave the house. Only will return to visit the grave when the anniversary of my parent death.
Though I hate them, I still pay a visit to respect the death. No matter how deep my hatred was, one can't denied that both of them still my parent. As we walking through to the abyssal dungeon, we founf the entrance and made a camp in front of it , to prepare for the unknown.
After our last war with demons, I'm personally bringing a hundred peoples of SS-Rank adventure with me toward the Demon Terrytory and erradicate all the demon we encounter. Be it peace loving demon or Vicious demon, we kill them all. Mostly, I'm the one who killed them because of my brothers death. In my heart was to avenge my death brother by erradicate all the existing demons.
Since Demon Lord and Demon General already been vanquish, the left only was minion and demon civilians. Through and through I kill them. In the morning of the next day, we prepare enough for the 7 of us to enter the abyssal dungeon. Entering the very first floor of the abyssal dungeon was filled with a wolf-type monster.
However, the wolf only see us, and does not initiate any attempt to attack us. I can felt that all the wolf watching us with a feeling of pity. As if we're only atoys to played with. I got a bad feeling about this. As we walking through the down to second floor. This time, on the second floor was filled with fairy-type monster. Yet the pressence and the pressure it hold was enormous, far stronger than general demon.
This time, one of the fairy spoken when they catch our pressence. "Oh? Human has dared to enter our sacred land." and then a whole fairy monster from a far crowding the place where the first fairy floating at. As the first batch of nearest monster arrive, thousands fairy have surround the entrance. It is a good thing that we had not enter the second floor. Still in the stair ground.
"Rest assured human, if you value you life. Please leave this land. Or else, don't blame us to be come a ruthless. I'm surprise how did you guys managed to passed the first floor without any scratch of injury. The wolf above should be fast enough to kill all of you with ease.
Oh well, they must let you pass but not ours. So, please leave this land." said one of the fairy with an arrogant voice. The word he spoken can be felt enormous strength of pressure from it. The presence this fairy hold, far stronger than any of the others fairy. I decide as a leader to leave this dungeon, because we only came to a meaningless death if we continue to venture this dungeon.
Why did they said 'land' instead of dungeon. As we ascend to the first floor, we were stopped by a gigantic wolf. The wolf does resemble Chronos. "Li'l-Lu?" said the gigantic wolf with a gruff voice. "Chro?" I let out a mumble in silent voice yet can be heard by the wolf.
"Are you leaving?" the wolf asked.
"Yes, Chro. I need to bring my party out of here." I answer.
"I'm sorry, Little Lu. If you want to leave, you must battle me as the group representative. I'm the leader of my tribe, and your as leader of your party." Said Chronos with a solemn voice.
"I see, even if it resulting of my death. Please let my party leave this dungeon." I said.
"You have my word, Little Lu." Chronos gave his promise.
"Very well. Then, shall we begin?" as i said the word. The wolf take a 500meter distance from our current place. Left both of us in the middle of the circle. I draw both of my swords, while Chronos unfold both of his 'swords' on his shoulder. As both of us ready ourselves with intensefied bloodthirst, Chronos however let out the pressence of majestice presence and it was similar to my brother presence yet different.
As I moved forward with my itmost speed, Chronos take the blow without even tried to dodge it or block it. The moment I stand clost to chronos, he let out a piercing ears howl. Made me stunned by standing too close with him. Within this chance, I remember that I was injured closed to death with his Magic. Chronos able to take human form with morphing magic and take my swords and then he execute Twin-dragon swords style - [Light and Dark - Dance of the Seven Lotus].

And then my sight was blacked. I found myself in another place, this time this place was unknown to me. The place was utterly darkness. Only a small dote of light can be seen from a far. bit by bit I walking to the light to close our distance. As I closing our distance, the light becoming bigger and bigger. And when finally I reach the light, I seen a figure of myself was standing inside prison.
The prison was surrounded by a YinYang Battle Qi, slowly I watch the figures transform by absorbing the Enery and then take a shape of my current self. And when I approach the prison, as if something was blocked my path and I heard my own voice said. "Leave, you have not yet qualified to learn.... the... tr......u....th" The voice is fading slowly and then I awake.
The moment I open my eyes, I found my self in my own room. Probably Jian Nan or Chang Zhao the one who brought me back to my room. In the table beside my bed, there is a warm food with a paper slip below.
Eat slowly and rest.
After I done eating with my meal, I take a shower and then trying to remember my dream earlier. Vividly I can only remember part about meeting myself and what was it the 'me' inside my dream said?. When I look out on the window, I see it is already night. How long was it I lost my consciousness?. When I exit my room, Forbidden Dorm was already dim with a faint light all across the hallway.
Going through to the hall, I stop upon reaching the place called "Library". I see another student still reading at a time like this. Seeing me they just nodded and continue their reading. Better not bother them. I walk to the nearest bookshelf, and there is a tagplate on the shelf. It written as "Yulan History". As I take a few that I interest such as "Apocalypse Day", "Genius Magus" and "Yulan Continent geography".
I'm pretty much needed information since this world is unknown to me. First book I read 'Apocalypse Day', in the book written about Forest Emperor of the magical beast, lead an army of saint-level magical beasts to invade the human population. Such a day, 1/5 of the Yulan Continent become magical Beast territory. It tell a story about a few expert fought againts the beast and how many town was destroyed. Wushan town also included in there.
As I finish reading the book, I continue to read the next book. "Genius Magus in History". The book tell a profile of the years of few genius magician that reach 7th rank and above at the young age. The youngest one was Linley Baruch, at the age of 17th, he already reach 7th rank of magus. and using "Soaring Technique" at the time he graduate. It is also told that this Linley was First Emperor of our Baruch Empire brother.
When I open "Yulan Continent Geography", it is only show a map of Yulan Continent. A few place marked, the red place was called "Magical Beast territory, while other told about human population city. THe map only told about Yulan Continent, outside of the Yulan continent? nothing was record.
As I felt tired, I'm return back to my room to sleep.
[Somewhere in Magical beast area]
silent breeze of night has been disturb by a fast approaching figure, nimble with it movement, agile with it's feet. the fast figure was approaching a single woman who seem to be meditate in the center area of Magical Beast. This woman hold a tremendous pressence, proof of her magnificient power. The woman is, a dean of the Academy. Dean Li Wan'Er.
Dean Li open her eyes when she felt a familiar aura approaching. And waiting for the figure to coming closer. When the figure arrive in front of Dean Li, it show the figure face, and it was Wen Qiang.
"Junior Wen, payed respect to Senior Li" said Wen Qiang while kneeled in front Dean Li.
"What is it, Wen Qiang?" ask Dean Li.
"It is about the boy, Dean" Short answer was given.
"And what would that be?" Dean Li asked with interest.
"The boy was capable to use Forbidden Spell, even though he had yet to have energy saint-level. However, the boy version was a bit weird, Only it a single bolt cover enourmous area, the attack power it hold, similar to Forbidden Spell - Thousand Bolt Rain. Only it much weaker than the original." Briefly Wen Qiang explain what happen at the field while testing the boy.
"I see, the boy itself said he was an orphan. Seem like this realm going to be under turmoil of chaos. Be prepared Wen Qiang, sooner or later, the day of those Superior Expert will descend for the boy and for the 'things' inside both of the dorm. Worst case scenerio, Human population may gone extinction. Prepared for the worst, Wen Qiang." said Dean Li with serious tone in her voice.
"Yes, Senior Li. I will. Please excuse myself" Wen Qiang kneeled respectfully and disappear from Dean Li vision. Move to it utmost speed she can mustered to return to the forbidden dorm.
