Chapter 63 - Beneath the Mask

Meanwhile...

The winds rushed against a couple that were side by side on a red goldish looking cloud. Before them, they saw the black masked individual flying through the air with complete ease.

" Taf....?"

" How do you know this fellow?"

May brought forth the question that had plagued her mind ever since they were requested by the stranger.

" To be honest...

...Well I wouldn't say I know him per se"

Hearing her question Taf decided to tell her about the matter as it stands.

" What the hell do you mean by that..?

A fuming May now looked at Taf after hearing his response.

" You know me, would I do something for no reason?"

Seeing that she was about to explode somewhat, he decided to try and calm her down first. After a while of thinking and looking into his face, May calmed down A bit before waiting for his explanation.

" Remember that dream I told you about the other day...?"

" The one with the three individuals that call themselves demigods and archangel...?"

and also the voice I heard after I had suddenly woken up..?"

Taf went on to say to May who awaited his explanation. After thinking it through for A bit, she seemed to have recalled them speaking of such a thing.

" Yeah... I do remember but wha..?"

She went on to reply before a sudden thought came to mind.

"Wait... Is it his voice that you heard that night?"

After hearing her conclusion he wasn't surprised on how fast she had deduced the situation.

" Yes, it is indeed.."

" So my thought process is this. If this individual is so powerful that he could deduce my peculiarity. Even before I did the test that I was found to be an oddity by those of the Dark Abylis Sect."

" If he had wanted to harm me in any way before today. He could have simply done it with the snap of his fingers. "

May seemingly analysed all that Taf had to say and could not find that many flaws In his argument except for a few.

" Yes I agree but why didn't he take you back then?"

" Why wait for today and inviting more trouble?"

" Also Why am I also requested?"

" ...and lastly where are we going?"

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

She went on to ask the questions that in her mind were warrant some form of explanation.

"Those are also the questions that I asked myself after accessing the situation as it stands"

"... but I guess we'll have to wait for those answers from the one individual that has them"

They both looked at the masked man that continued to fly apparently unperturbed by the conversation of the two.

" All your questions will be answered soon"

He then went on to say after seemingly feeling the gaze of the pair.

Hearing the reply of the stranger they could only continue to look on their surroundings.When they both saw what became closer the more they flew, their eyes met the other and the same thought came to mind.

Before them, they saw the Red storm like clouds becoming ever closer. The thundering roars of beast could be heard near and far away.

Suddenly red lightning struck the below forest as the bellow of a beast could be heard after the impact.

" What is That?"

May became startled by what she had just witnessed.

" You will see that often while you are here. It is what's called a beast tribulation. "

Taf also became curious after he heard the term uttered by the Mask man.

" To walk further on the path of cultivation demon beast go through what is called a tribulation. If they are successful they will be able to enter the next stage in their path. "

" However if failure were to occur, injury or death is a certainty. Unfortunately for that beast below, the latter was its outcome."

An explanation of the process was given to the teenage couple that continuously looked on with curious gazes at the forest below.

After a period of time, the couple realise that something weird had been occurring. Although they had seen a significant amount of beast whether land-based or aerial. As they flew it seemed the beast made sure to keep their distance from the travelling trio.

Soon they arrive at a building that appeared to be the entrance of some cave-like structure. The red golden cloud then took its time as it descended to the entrance of the building.

From the outside, there was not much that could be said about the building. It's appearance though could not be said to be deplorable was by no means a palace welcoming for kings and queens.

At the entrance stood the man with the mask who surveyed the two.

" So am guessing you have some questions to ask me, huh"

He broke the ice by issuing a statement of his own.

" Who are you....?"

Taf went straight to the topic without offering any pleasantries in return.

" Hehe.., just as I expected from you child. You don't disappoint do you"

" Who I am is not important for now, however."

" Just think of me as...

hmmm Well... your benefactor of sorts"

Hearing his words Taf kept calm but persisted with his questioning.

" Why did you let me have that dream the other night?"

The man appeared as though he didn't hear the question posed while opening the entrance.

" How about I answer your questions inside. We are civilized after all right..."

" ...and based on my actions you can tell that I mean no harm"

He then went on to say as he eyed the couple who were still a bit on guard.

After his words were heard Taf nodded to May then held her hand as they entered the building.

They were however caught by surprise as they walked through its entrance. Inside they saw what can only be described as an endless amount of space spanning a great distance.

It could be said that what was seen outside, was nothing but a mirage. Seeing the looks of surprise on the face of the two the man laughed.

" This what is called a spatial device of such. It can contain an infinite amount of room or space if you like, for the user's convenience. It can be transformed based on my own whim and is my personal device."

Taf could not help but walk around while marvelling at what he was witnessing. Soon it seemed the area warped and they were in a grand hall.

A massive table could be seen in the middle of the hall with chairs at each side.

" Come...have a seat and let us have a little chat young ones"

He uttered to the two who were still bewildered by the turn of events they had just witnessed.

Taf was the first to come out of his stupor before squeezing May who then also came back.

They then drew the chairs that must have a been of a material that gold was by its best standard quite inferior.

It was beautiful but also quite heavy for the two. As they tried to pull they saw both chairs move on their own seemingly after receiving a command.

" I grow tired of this mask. It doesn't suit me or should I say him"

A voice was heard from the masked man who moved his hands to his face. He then slowly removed the mask from his face.

After seeing the face that was behind the mask Taf was stunned into silence. Seeing his reactions May also looked and became lost for words.

" What tha...."
