"So there you are, pest."
Jade said as she looked down at the massive white beast below her while standing on her gigantic sword before suddenly it flew up to her arm, and she lunged forward in a flash of transparent purple light that filled the sky with a majestic star-like light. This left behind an intact after-image, which appeared in an instant in front of the beast and slashed swiftly with such force that there was a violent tornado forming behind her, sending the beast flying in a smooth arc.
Boom
The attack caused a massive explosive sound, which reached thousands of miles away. The explosive sound caused the air to move away, and because of this, the snow-filled mountain became nothing more than a piece of rocky land.
Without waiting for it to land, she disappeared in another flash of transparent purple, reaching it quickly again; her massive sword seemed light like a feather almost as though the weight became non-existent, and her small arms made a sharp contrast, but the power it carried was terrifying; making the beast that didn't even manage to recover from previous hit to lose its hind leg, blue?
As the fight continued, Jade felt an extreme annoyance. Why can't you just die?! Just die already!
But even so, she managed to hold herself back. Keeping a steady focus on the strength she is using and not unnecessarily using too much strength.
Blue blood gushed out like a waterfall and out of its injury, while Jade suddenly froze in place. The air around her seemed to become darker, and visible strain appeared on her expression. Suddenly, she raised her sword high up in the sky, her breathing calm and composed, her aura rising like a mortal ascending heaven for the first time. With a loud boom, the sword pierced forward; the sound was so loud that the ice cracked and the surroundings toppled; the giant and uneven snowy landscape became a flat white cover, lowering by several meters, and the beast now had a huge hole in its chest, barely managing to dodge the fatal strike.
"Hmph."
Jade snorted, pursuing the escaping beast.
Suddenly, the beast vanished in a flash of white light, even after searching for it for a long time, Jade wasn't able to find it.
"What an annoying pest."
She said in annoyance and displeasure, before turning around and leaving this task behind, rushing to the meeting, not bothering with it since she couldn't delay it any longer.
As she left, the whole battlefield was covered in dust clouds finally alone. The dust clouds slowly dissipated as the aftermath of the battle was free to be seen.
It was as though the heavens roared in anger and gods and demons sent a disaster to this land. The mountains, which once were filled with snow and frost, are now gone. It all became a barren wasteland.
…
“What is it? Zhong Lei? Is there something?” A considerably young man spoke in a soft tone. He appeared friendly and soothing like the midnight breeze.
He had white jade-like skin, long black hair, and deep black eyes. He wore a green robe that fluttered with the wind as he stood on the balcony. His gaze is friendly and soothing like the midnight breeze. His eyes filled with kindness and wisdom. He is the ruler of the Human Race, Zheng Wang, the Human King.
Behind him stood a well-dressed man. He had white jade-like skin, long blond hair, and bright blue eyes. He wore a blue robe covered in lightning patterns. He gave off a serious yet friendly aura around him. He is Zheng Wang's most precious friend and right-hand man, Zhong Lei, the Brilliant Lightning.
Zhong Lei spoke as he explained calmly, “A rampaging demon was sighted in the southern region of our land. Its appearance was described as having a body comparable to a mountain. It was filled with yellow and green fur that covered its body. It had a human face that was colored in scarlet blood. Its eyes are filled with bloodlust and madness. One part which stood out the most was its gigantic breast covered in white fur.” He continued calmly, “Based on this, we can conclude that the Fertility Demon has given birth to this monster.”
Zheng Wang's gaze seemed to falter from this as he spoke his thoughts out loud. He appeared saddened by this, “It seems that even my late Father's sacrifice was for naught.”
He sighed deeply, his face filled with intent. He spoke once more; this time, his voice was filled with resolution, “I shall go out to slay this demon myself. If I am unable to slay it now, I will do it later. This demon must perish.”
Zhong Lei nodded as he asked; he appeared serious and concerned, “In that case, you will be late for the meeting. This won't do.”
Zheng Wang smiled lightly as he spoke, “I will do it myself. If I can accomplish this today, our reputation will soar above the clouds. Even if I am unable to do so, we can always make an excuse that I sought to slay the demon and that is why I am late.”
The conversation continued for a little bit longer until it finally stopped. Zheng Wang flew up high after departing with Zhong Lei.
He flew quickly as the air around him exploded to further boost his already ridiculous speed.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
Boom
At a mountain far away from any civilization. A gigantic mountain sat near it. It had the same appearance that Zhong Lei described before. It was truly the Fertility Demon.
Zheng Wang took in deep breaths as he focused to slay this demon. As he breathes, the air around him seems to compress into a single tiny sphere colored in jade green. The jade green sphere’s aura continued to rise as time went by.
Finally, when its aura reached an unfathomable strength, he sent it flying at the demon. The sheer speed of it created an immense explosion that made one's ear beg for mercy. Thankfully, Zheng Wang had made sure to prepare before using this move.
Boom
As the jade green sphere was about to hit the demon, the demon suddenly stood up and sucked the air all around it. This included the jade green sphere which lost all its strength after being sucked by the demon.
Zheng Wang wasn't fully surprised by this. He had expected it to already have made a counter for this move. He was simply probing the strength of this demon.
He sighed deeply as his aura rose exponentially by the second. The demon didn't let Zheng Wang continue further as it jumped to attack Zheng Wang at close-range combat. The ground beneath this mountain-sized demon cracked as a gigantic earthquake occurred.
Zheng Wang didn't let this chance slip away as he used a portion of his aura to agilely enter the demon's open mouth. The demon was caught off guard by this move; its body seemed to freeze in place as though it was thinking of a solution.
Zheng Wang's aura was all used up as a sword appeared before him. He swiftly took the sword and focused his whole body and mind. As he slashed, the blade of the sword extended with immense strength and aura.
With one swift cut.
A demon.
Perished.
The demon was sliced in half, it can't even be healed anymore.
Zheng Wang breathed deeply as he was about to slash once more. Unfortunately, a white light covered the demon whole and disappeared in an instant.
Zheng Wang was unable to react and now, the demon is gone.
Zheng Wang's face has already turned as pale as paper after this fight, but he still kept his composure.
He sighed deeply, he appeared disappointed, “I shall slay you another time. I have to go now.”
Just as he was about to fly and leave, he puked out a mouthful of blood, and his seven orifices bled.
“I almost forgot about the recoil. Sigh, Granny should be able to do something about this.” He smiled lightly as he endured the immense pain.
…
Inside a specialized training room.
Two people stood on opposite ends of each other.
Both were men. One was a boy with slightly dark skin, gray eyes, and short brown hair. He wore a leather shirt and leather shorts made specifically for training purposes.
The other was a man who seemed to be at least fifty years old. He had slightly dark skin, golden eyes, and short black hair. This man was this child’s father. He wore the same leather shirt and shorts that the boy wore. He is also the Dwarf King; Mason Eisen.
Suddenly, the boy moved swiftly and agilely. Once he reached the man’s body, he jumped and used his leg to kick.
Mason, who is currently holding back by a huge amount, used his right hand to stop the boy’s kick. But it was a feint, and the boy threw a quick and steady punch.
Mason was quite impressed by this but he quickly countered as he blocked the punch with his left hand. He then kicked lightly and sent the boy flying.
The boy quickly stood up; not the least bit worried about his injuries.
The boy smiled as he expressed his enjoyment and praise, “Father is so strong! You were able to predict my moves! Such is a wise fighter!”
Mason lightly chuckled; he explained with a light tone, “I wasn't trying to predict any of your moves. I was simply watching. My years of experience have taught me to read moves. Your move there was pretty good. It impressed me. Good job. And also, don't forget that I don't enjoy being showered with praises. They tend to get in your head after all.”
The boy nodded in happiness at being praised but remembered his Father’s words.
Suddenly, the door to the training room opened wide as a servant entered the room.
The servant lightly greeted the two as he explained, “The Ancient Heat Demon has been found. It's currently going towards the sea route. What should be done?”
Mason seemed to consider and ponder over this question for a good while before finally speaking, “Send the ten troops to surround it from all directions. Stop it from getting out and subdue it. I'll prepare before going.”
The servant nodded and quickly left the room to tell the order.
…
At a particular desert. A gigantic mountain-sized beast was moving quickly. Its body is that of a molten rock, magma, to be exact. It had no face and was simply a chaotic monster running for its life.
In front, behind; at left, and right of it were the troops sent to subdue it. Each troop had over fifty members, who all specialized in different aspects of combat. They all blended well with each other which made them a strong force.
The demon suddenly roared as it tried to attack the troop behind it at full force.
The troops were already expecting it to attack, so they were already prepared. They shot multiple layers of rock walls which combined into one. This combined rock wall was slowly melting at the attack of the demon.
The other troops didn't let this opportunity slide past them as they shot multiple iron spears made from their abilities and some specialized spears forged by them.
This continued for two hours until the demon was near death.
Mason, who had unexpected troubles at the capital at the same time as the demon appeared, was completely late.
When he arrived he saw a blinding white light cover both the land and sky.
Boom
With an explosion. The demon escaped.
“What?!” Mason was completely stunned. How? What? What on earth caused this demon to get saved? What force saved it? Who dared to save it?!
…
At the Blessed Land of Illusion.
Two people were sitting next to each other.
One sat elegantly like a blooming flower in late spring, while the other sat still as he continued to look at the moon.
The man had snow-white skin, bright blue eyes, and long white hair. He had nine tails that had a hint of blue aura flowing around them. He had two fox ears connected to his head. He wore a simple and plain white robe. He wore a light smile on his face, he appeared friendly and would kindly help the weak whenever he could. This man’s name is Tsukiharu, the right-hand man of the Moonlit Fox Spirit’s Queen.
The one who sat beside him was of high importance to the whole Moonlit Fox Spirit Race. She had soft snow-white skin, long white hair, and bright golden eyes. She wore a simple pink robe. She had a friendly and wise aura around her. She only had one tail that had golden lights flowing around it. Her two fox ears also had golden lights flowing around them. She was the size of a child, a stark contrast to the adult-sized Tsukiharu. Her name is a simple one. Takechi Aiko; the Moonlit Fox Spirits’ Queen.
“How was your day?” Takechi asked. He sounded just like how a close friend would be if they asked such a question.
Aiko smiled lightly. Her face is bright as she looks at the round white moon. She spoke, she gave off a child-like aura, “It went pretty well. I was even able to play outside for once.”
Tsukiharu chuckled as he heard her speak. She sounded like a young child. But isn't she one?
He sighed lightly as he scolded her with a playful tone, “You’re our Race’s Queen, for you to still act childish after this much time. You need to be punished well.”
Aiko chuckled at the thought of it. She thought it wouldn't happen.
Tsukiharu chuckled once more before finally going back to the main topic. He sounded just like usual but with an added seriousness, “The Illusion Demon has been found.”
Aiko’s wide smile disappeared the moment she heard the Illusion Demon. She was a kind and merciful ruler. She never killed if there was still a chance but she always found that wall stopping her. She always found a reason why killing must be done. She never liked the loss of life. She is the kindest and most merciful soul.
She sighed deeply, her bright golden eyes dimming with her emotion.
“I won't fight. My strength isn't the usual strength to begin with, anyway. Send the Assassin Squad to take care of it. I won't fight.” She ordered almost immediately, her eyes dimming as the seconds passed by.
Tsukiharu, seeing this, tried to lighten up the mood, “Don't be sad, ok? Remember, the representative of the Blessed Land of Isolation might be an interesting person. It's an interesting opportunity to meet a completely different person, isn't it?”
Aiko nodded as she stood up. After a few more chats, she left and flew away.
…
“The Four Kings and Queens huh?”
“Jade; the strongest. The cold jade beauty and the user of the Weight of the Worlds.”
“Zheng Wang; the friend. The warm jade and the user of the Midnight Wind.”
“Mason Eisen; the strong. The rock brute and the user of the Metallic Lust.”
“Takechi Aiko; the kind. The jade fox and the user of the Phantom Love.”
“The four rulers of each race and Land. The ones holding this world's peace in check. This is… slightly interesting.” Zixin thought as he continued walking forward. He knew one thing was certain: a new order would be made.
