Chapter 39 – Unyielding Disciple
Hearing that no one can sense me inside this peculiar place, I sighed in relief. I then decided to ask more questions.
Nelus: Why did the Gods sealed you? (I’m not aware as I only partook some of the creation back then so it really made me quite curious.)
Domun: Enough questions, entertain me…
Nelus: As you wish, just answer my questions later.
Domun: Hah! Sure thing only IF you manage to live.
Domun then slowly moves towards Nelus. As he then lashes his tail onto him. Nelus just grabs it and pulls on it.
Domun: What are you doing!?
Nelus then puts the tail on his shoulder as he performs a throw towards the ground in front of him. Domun then smashes into what seemed like the ground. He stood up and glared at Nelus, he was slowly getting infuriated. He then used his claws, thinking that it would be enough to kill him. As his claws get closer to Nelus, Nelus then performs a kick smashing the claws upward as he runs towards Domun at full speed and tries to target his other frontal leg. Nelus then smashes his elbow into it as Domun loses his balance.
Domun falls down and gritted his teeth, thinking that the man in front of him dares belittle him. So far Domun wasn’t using any skills or magic because Nelus wasn’t too and it would hurt his pride if he were to use it first. Still, Domun was reaching his limit. His eyes turn red as he returned to his original size. He didn’t shout as his voice was filled with indifference.
Domun: Be proud. Out of all the beings, only you had managed to make me go this far.
Domun disappears and appears near Nelus, using the skill,
Nelus then slowly looks towards his direction… As their gazes met, Domun’s eyes open wide as he shivered and trembled uncontrollably… some force was pushing him down forcing him to back away… he didn’t know what just happened… he felt fear for the first time… his intuition was telling him to run away now. It was the first time Domun felt that kind of feeling so he shrugged it off… still the feeling was quite unusual for him.
Domun: You… what did you do…
Nelus: …
Nelus remained silent as he looks at Domun with a calm gaze which caused Domun to be further irritated.
Domun: Answer me now or your friends are going to die!
Nelus had a hint of anger in his eyes, it wasn’t like before… he was aware that he was angry… he noticed that he was slowly changing, his expressions isn’t are becoming more clear… still… while his emotions grew, something else is growing within him… it was a familiar feeling.
???: (It is time. Feed me. Use Me.)
Nelus: (Silence!)
The voice was starting to get familiar… it was something hidden in the back of his mind… and he wants it to stay that way… something tells him that it is something that must not be used… he used his power to forcefully push back the thing inside him and succeeds. He turns back towards Domun , his expressions changed… it is of anger obviously visible on his face. Domun’s heart started to race… cold sweat was forming quickly on his face… it gave him a bad feeling… a feeling that he had just awakened something that mustn’t be… he took a step back… noticing his own actions, he growled.
Domun: What is this!? Who are you!! Tell me right now!!
Nelus: One of those who created this world.
Domun: What nonsense are you talking about!!!!
As Domun cannot take it anymore, mana started to gather on his mouth as a bluish sphere starts to get larger and larger until it completely surpassed his size. It was 10 times larger than him. He looks towards Nelus, seeing him still being calm his veins popped out. He roared loudly as he releases the sphere as it heads towards Nelus. As the sphere gets closer to Nelus, he lifts his arm and pushed the sphere as if it was a simple matter.
The sphere then returns to Domun and explodes with an explosion unlike before. Domun’s skin was burned and he was pushed back. His pupils contracted as the whites of his eyes turns red. His mind went blank and was going to use his skill,
All of them attacked Nelus at all sides with burst of mana from all directions. Nelus was following Domun’s actions with ease and counters at times. Domun thought that this was impossible; there should be no other beings other than those who watch over the world can match him. Suddenly, he remembered what Nelus told him… “One of those who created this world”.
Domun: You’re a God!? No! There should only be five Gods!! Since the time I was born during the creation I didn’t feel anyone other than the five! You shouldn’t be here AT ALL!!
Nelus then unlocked his seal that prevents others from feeling his Godly presence. Sensing this, Domun’s face distorts and was starting to get horrified.
Domun: This feeling… it is true… you are a God!!!
Nelus: No I am not.
Domun: WHICH IS IT!!??
Domun was at his limit; using the space around them he has increased his capabilities to the max rivaling a being with an existence of X-S. His skin was completely black as wings popped out of his back. He then roared with all of his might as black energy was gathering in his mouth. Black light was starting to leak out from his mouth as he slowly opens it. He then released the energy as a massive beam of void element was heading towards Nelus. As the void covers Nelus wholly, Domun smiled as he form returns back to normal.
He was catching his breath, relieved that it was all over. Looking towards the direction filled with void his eyes bulged as a terrified expression surfaced. Nelus has completely exceeded his expectations… that attack he used would have severely wounded even an immortal that has attained Godhood, had no effect on him whatsoever… but what he didn’t know is that Nelus was in fact a God King! A being that is a pinnacle existence among the Gods, he was not just God but some thing that had long passed from that existence more so than an immortal that had attained Godhood. The powers between Gods and God Kings are like heaven and earth. If it was the Nelus from before, it might have managed to wound him as he was still at a lower level. Right now his power had already increased at a very high amount. As the void completely vanished, Domun noticed that Nelus has surpassed the powers of the Gods and that he was wearing something completely different from before… he was wearing “white star”. It is the proof that he was indeed a God King but of course Domun didn’t know this, all he knows is that Nelus has completely exceeded reality.
Domun: Th-this is… absurd!!
Nelus: Now will you answer my questions?
Domun: Hah! Even if you kill me here I won’t die in the real world! I can only feel pain and only a fraction of my injury can retain.
Nelus: So you lied?
Domun: I don’t need this world to kill you all! If it wasn’t for the barrier around you and your friends you would have died ages ago!
Nelus: What if I unleash my powers when we are out of here. What then?
Realizing this Domun’s face went pale. As Nelus’ was getting irritated large amounts of fire element gathered above him. He then slowly reaches up as the element gathers on his palm. He slowly forms the element into a ball of fire. As he repeats the process, he then fuses it with the ball of fire on his hand. Afterwards he repeats it continuously… until on his hand was a small sphere of fire except unlike its previous crimson color it was completely blue… it was the Y rank spell,
Domun: Why!? Why did you come to my cave!!!??? Is there something you need? If there is I can provi…
Nelus: You have already tested my patience, now die…
As Nelus stood still, he used spatial magic to fly up. Domun then decided to run away, but there is nowhere to run. What Nelus has used is a magic strong enough to destroy worlds with ease. Nelus then throws the ball of fire as Domun was frantically trying to escape. He then tried to go out of the zone he created but something was preventing him. As the ball of fire made contact onto the ground, the whole space shook. An explosion of unseen proportions occurred. Everywhere a sea of blue flames spread, filling the space to the cranny with blue flames. As it reaches Domun it slowly engulfs him starting with his tail until it reaches the head as it devours him completely.
Domun: Guuuuauaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!
Suddenly, the zone shatters… Nelus was back to the familiar cave. He then approaches Zala and the others and it seems that they were just unconscious. He then looks towards Domun and saw that he was completely covered in blood. All over him were open wounds and his eyes were dull as life was slowly leaving him. Blood was flowing out of his mouth as he spoke.
Domun: I can’t… believe that the damage was… so great that it even managed… to get my real body into this state… you truly are a monster among monsters…
Nelus: Here, take this.
As Nelus opened his Spatial Storage he reaches in and takes out a whitish crystal.
Domun: This is… a God class healing crystal…
Nelus: Use it; after all you already know my identity so giving an artifact such as this won’t change anything.
Domun: What if I… decide to attack?
Nelus: Will that change anything?
Domun: Ahaha… I guess not… why didn’t you… kill me?
Nelus: I still have questions left unanswered.
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
Domun: Fine… I’ll answer the questions that… you will ask me…
Domun then touches the crystal and activates it; it then completely heals his wounds as if nothing happened. I then moved the others into a corner and applied a Spatial Barrier around them except it was sound proof as I set it to absorb the sounds around it.
Nelus: Why did the Gods seal you?
Domun: I am not actually sealed… I am just bound to this place… what I told about escaping here was a joke, I was just bored…
Nelus: Is there a reason why you are here?
Domun: Shouldn’t you know? I mean you are one of them Gods right?
Nelus: I am, also to correct you I am what you call a God King.
Domun: A God King… I haven’t heard of Alxia having a God King?
Nelus: It is because I left most of the governing to the other Gods and that is why only a few knows of my existence.
Domun: I see… are there more Gods other than the five?
Nelus: I can’t answer that; also… tell me what the initial reason why you were created.
Domun: Alright… we are what you call “Watchers of the World” we are created by the Gods to protect this world.
Nelus: Protect?
Domun: That is right… once Alxia is in danger we will appear. Also, I wasn’t planning on killing you and the others, I was just acting… well I did try to kill you in the Execution Zone at some point… Ah! Don’t misunderstand! It is just because my emotions took the hold on me as I went berserk…
Nelus: What about those corpses?
Domun: Ah, those? Those were just people and beasts that have died ages ago. My brethren love to collect them.
Nawons: Ugaa!!
The Nawons shouted gleefully.
Nelus: …
Domun: Anyways… I was just going to erase all of your memories in the end as my brethren carries you outside…
Nelus: I see… (He doesn’t seem to be lying…) Which God created you?
Domun: It is the most beautiful and gorgeous of all the Gods! Lord Folia!!
Nelus: (Folia… hahh… I can see now the resemblance… that easily bored attitude… that luck where she always is getting into trouble… and that behavior of doing mischievous things…)
I sighed as I cover my face with my hand. I then realized… then why wasn’t he in the land of darkness?
Nelus: If so then why are you here instead of the land of darkness?
Domun: It is because I like it here! It is warm and cozy.
Nelus: …
Domun: You came here for my brethren right? Is it for making mind protection equipment?
Nelus: Yes.
Domun: I don’t know why someone like you would need it but I will not ask further.
Domun then ordered the Nawons to cut of some of their claws and tails as they then put it in front of me.
Domun: Will these be enough?
Nelus: It is more than enough.
The amount that I received from the Nawon is at least three times than what we needed. It seems that there are more than ten floors in this cave and within those floors are completely filled with Nawons.
Nelus: Isn’t it hard to feed them?
Domun: They feed on air so it is quite easy to feed them than you think! Below here, there are plants that instead of converting air it increases its quantity.
Nelus: Quite the convenient plant.
Domun: It was Lord Genbalt who made it for us.
Nelus: I see… then we should be going now…
Domun: Okay, and if you see Folia tell her that I miss her! We always talk once a month.
Nelus: What do you talk about?
Domun: Umm… I am sorry… I can’t answer that…
Nelus: If so then we will be going…
Domun and the Nawons then waved goodbye as I carry them away.
As we reached the second floor Zala woke up.
Zala: Nelus…? Ahh!!! That lizard!!
Nelus: (I can’t tell her who he is…) It is already taken care of.
Zala: I see…
Zala then walked behind me and gripped my arm… worry filled her eyes as she looks down into the ground.
Zala: That thing said in that weird place that he had already killed you I was so worried…
I then smiled at her gently as our gazes lock towards each other. Zala’s face became flustered as she started to panic.
Nelus: Thank you for worrying about me. As you can see I am perfectly fine.
Zala: S-stupid! Who would worry about someone like you! Ahh!
Suddenly, one of the four that I was carrying using Space magic moved which startled Zala and made her even more flustered. We then decided to stay for a little while to wait for them to wake up. Upon waking up…
Yora: Wha!? Mosie?
Mosie ran towards Yora while crying it seems like it wasn’t just Zala who got lied to…
Mosie: I thought I would never see you again…
Yora: Idiot… I am here aren’t I?
Mosie’s chest started to flutter and pounded furiously. Her breath became hot as she gazes towards Yora. Yora feeling her gaze became quite uncomfortable as he looks away.
Yora: M-Mosie you should get off of… mmmpphhh!!??
Mosie then closes in and kissed Yora on the lips. Yora tries to break free but can’t as his strength was leaving his body. His mind went blank as Mosie tries to go further and make it into a deep and passionate kiss. She then holds him into her arms as Yora remains lifeless. He was confused on what to do as his face became beet red. Seeing this, Zala looked at Nelus as she becomes flustered while trying to look away. On her face was a serious expression as she tries to hide her expression. Nillie was excited while Rezald was felt kind of awkward.
Nillie: My! Quite bold of you Mosie!!
Rezald: Ahaa…
Mosie: Y-Yora I love y… Eh!!!???
Yora then faints before Mosie’s declaration. Seeing this Mosie slapped Yora and goes to Nillie for comfort.
Mosie: Yora is an idiot…
Nillie: There, there…
Waking up Yora was still flustered but suddenly he looks at Zala and knew the she was beyond his league as it was obvious that she likes Nelus… Nillie said that to him once when they were at the fifth floor. He didn’t believe it at once but as he observe her more he started to see that he had no chance at all so he was depressed. As for Mosie… he didn’t think of her as a woman before… sure she was beautiful but to him she was like that of a sister… he needed time to arrange his thoughts and so he faced Mosie…
Yora: Will you give me time to think about it?
Mosie: Just don’t make me wait too long…
Mosie smiled and was relieved that at least it wasn’t a rejection. She rejoiced that at least there was a chance and smiled from the bottom of her heart. Seeing this Yora blushed, for a moment he thought of Mosie as extremely cute… it seems that the kiss had a larger effect on him than he thought. Suddenly someone shouted…
Rezald: Uhmm… sorry for ruining the moment but what about the Nawons?
Yora: Ahh!! I forgot… we can’t just return to that place… we are all too tired…
Nillie: No… now what do we do…?
Nelus: Look.
Nelus then pointed inside the Spatial storage as they all look through… countless of Nawon claws and tails were inside…
Rezald: H-how?
Nelus: That is a secret…
Zala: Hahh… well at least we got what we came here for…
Rezald then gritted his teeth ad took a resolute look.
Nillie: Rezald? What’s wrong?
Rezald: I’m sorry for being selfish but… Big bro Nelus! Please make me your disciple!!
Yora: R-Rezald!? Why?
Rezald: If it is him who is teaching then I can truly become strong!!
Nelus: No.
Rezald the kneeled and prostrates himself.
Rezald: Please!
Mosie: For Rezald to go that far…
Nelus: No.
Zala: Nelus… I don’t think he will give up…
Rezald: Even if you say no, I will still follow you no matter what you say!!!
Nelus: I decli…

Rezald: Eh?... You have pledged yourself to Go… mpfh!
Nelus: Hahh… fine you can come with me…
Rezald: Really!? Also is this… real?
Rezald whispers towards Nelus as the others looked at us with confused looks thinking what had changed my mind so easily.
Nelus: What do you think?
Rezald: Ohh!! Master!
Rezald then bows to me deeply as he looks at me sparkling eyes.
Nelus: Hahh… just call me Nelus.
Rezald: Bro Nelus it is!
Nillie: Are you really sure Rezald?
Rezald: I have made up my mind… also, I can trust Yora to protect you all, right?
Yora: Of course! You can count on me.
Yora said as they shook hands.
Mosie: We’ll miss you Rezald.
Rezald: Me too… by the time I get back, expect a super cool and powerful mage to appear!
Yora: Hahahah!! Will do… goodbye Rezald, you’ll see, I’ll become stronger too.
As they bid farewell, I gave them a crystal that can hold their share of Nawon claws and tails using my spatial magic temporarily.
Rezald: So where are we headed?
Zala: You’ll see when we get there.
Zala giggled as she turns around continues walking… as for me, I was staring at a particular object that has a peculiar symbol that Folia always uses… he told me to give it to her as the previous messenger died on the way there… I then made a mental note to give it to her if by chance I would enter the land of darkness…
