"sure, I mean- it's not like I have anything else to do" Yin replied without any hesitations after hearing our plan.
"But, what do you even do?" She added another statement while staring at me.
It was a good question since the plan mentioned me not doing anything apart from fighting when necessary. But she can apparently do that too since... Well she is Jay's daughter.
"He is important because his partnership with Jared can give her rule legitimacy in the empire. Now, all he has to do is stand quietly near Goftkza, and in case something happens, he will have to fight." Obediah answered on my behalf.
"I see" Yin nodded her head fully understanding the plan. "But- I have one request" she added something. I mean, nothing in this world is free.
I wonder what she is going to ask? Money? Property? It would be funny if all she asks is me saying to her, "you are a better sibling than Yang"
"Sure, go ahead." Obediah replied
"I would like you to say that I am a better sibling than that thing" she stated her request while pointing at me.
Maybe I can use this secret skill of mine to manipulate other people?
It would be funny if during Yin's speech, Mizy's father just randomly has a stroke.
But going back to her request. While it was such an easy request, I still have my pride. I don't even know her that much. No, I don't know her at all, apart from her being my sibling. But still, I could just... Lie?
"I'll say it, after the whole ordeal is done"
She nodded after hearing my answer.
"So, when will this plan happen?"
"In 5 hours" Obediah replied to Yin's question.
What? I thought it would happen in a few days to a week at most!
"Ladies, and gentlemen. I have come to enlighten you about the truth." Yin started her speech to the whole audience, with her father included.
The stage was massive, we were at the center. While everyone else's was all around us in all 3 dimensions.
I don't really have anything else to do, except stand by her side.
"As all of you have known, the Goftkza family prides itself as one of Eversor's descendants. However, I have just recently found out that none of it was true" When she said that last sentence, the whole crowd burst into confusion and intrigue.
Her father meanwhile, remained calm all while smirking in his chair. He probably would not expect the bombshell she was about to drop.
"I have two witnesses to prove that I am not lying. Two of Jay Everos's children." When she said that, the crowd went into an uproar. Some call her a fraud and a heretic. "I found this valuable information from a reliable friend and a partner of mine from the military"
"Jared Everos, one of Jay Everos's children"
The crowd became crazy when she introduced me to the crowd. Oh well, as long as I don't say anything, I don't have any problem with it.
Finally, Obediah's podium floated closer to us. This captured and filled the guests with curiosity. Even Mizy's father who remained nonchalant now had widened eyes.
Obediah stood up from his seat and began his part.
"Gentlemen, what she was saying is correct. He is indeed our Lord's son." I wonder why he didn't include "ladies". "Unfortunately, my Lord's son here has an issue of speaking in public, and so we will have to use our Lord's daughter. Yin Everos" He did not have to insult me like that.
Yin, who was previously sitting in Obediah's podium, stood up. She was about to begin her part, but I felt something was about to happen.
I instinctively made a barrier on Mizy, and there was a blade that hit the barrier.
Her father attacked her.
I summoned my sword to my hand and destroyed the sword he was and will be holding on his right hand.
He immediately teleported away from my vision. Then I felt a black "thing" appear on the right side of my vision.
I was pierced on the right side of my eye with his hand. That hand was imbued with erasing spells, but I was confident that I was not going to die.
I didn't.
I activated the sword that I was holding, and his entire right hand disappeared.
He immediately teleported away, and his right arm was replaced with an arm made from magic.
Space manipulators are annoying.
I was having trouble maintaining my location since he was trying to teleport me to his side.
Kuh!
I felt half of my head disappear. There was no mana involved, just space manipulation.
He teleported near me and was about to stab me in the chest, but then he suddenly screamed as if he was in pain. His face and features changing into something different. I didn't do anything!
His concept changed. His hair turned into a grey white hair as if he was old. His eyes turned into purple and green, while his lean body turned into a skinny one. His appearance that has some resemblance to Jay suddenly now resembled nothing to Jay.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
I looked around and saw Yin holding a pistol. She most probably did this to him.
So now what?
He was just levitating in the air, all while in pain. Was he in pain because of the effects of what Yin did? Was he in pain because his concept was forcefully changed? Or was he in pain because he no longer resembled Jay? I will never know.
"Let's just arrest him. He can't do any- huh?"
I fell to my knees. There was this chill in my spine.
"W-w-what!" Mizy also fell to the ground, while holding her shivering body. It was as if she was afraid.
The atmosphere became grim. It was as if the grim repear passed by. The crowd also felt it, even Mizy's father who was levitating stopped being in pain, and instead shuddered.
"What happened? He was supposed to be still sealed!" Obediah muttered under his breath with some difficulty breathing.
Was he mentioning Ashura? Probably not him. Maybe it was just some random fellow.
!!!! I can't do anything! I can't concentrate. I can't use magic. I can't use law manipulation!
Suddenly, Yang appeared in front of me still with his monotonous face. But his eyes were filled with fear.
"I messed up Jared. I'm so sorry" He said with a raspy voice. Wait why did he even go here.
He looked around and saw the dire situation everyone was in.
"Tch" Yang clicked his tongue after seeing Yin's face. "Whatever, this is far more important!"
Suddenly our surroundings changed. Yang only teleported us siblings.
What in the hell is that?
Something was there. A monster appearing in a humanoid figure. Everywhere on his body were eyes, mouths, limbs, wings, and tentacles.
There was nothing consistent nor patterns on his body, except for three things. His eyes and hair. His eyes were like precious rubies that kings and conquerors would be willing to wage war for. His hair was beautiful, they were silky dirty blonde hair. And finally his smile. That cute but yet creepy smile.
"I can't see anything, can you" Yang asked me a rather odd question
"Me too" Yin joined in. Wait, so am I the only one seeing him?
"Yang, what did you do?" I did not respond to Yang's answer, and instead asked him a question.
"I just went here, and then everything went.... This" Yang replied. I feel like he was not lying.
There was no reason, nor purpose for him to lie since I would eventually find out.
Finally, everything stabilized. His form stopped glitching and his appearance started to be more "human"
"!!!! He!" Yin muttered out of fear
Finally, his transformation, or rather revival was completed.
What appeared was a rather short person. 144 centimeters tall, with beautiful dirty blonde hair and red eyes. He also had a small smile that made him quite unpredictable.
"Huh? It appears I am currently being sealed¦>}]" 'ash' muttered to himself in a rather carefree tone. And why did he say "currently being sealed"?
"Oh well, I guess this is a happy accident¦>}]" he said while sitting in the air, still smiling. At least that creepy atmosphere disappeared.
"You saw me didn't you?¦>}]" He asked
"Let's have a chat shall we, after all, we are siblings. I'll start, I am an aura of Ashura Everos. You?¦>}]"He began looking at my way.
But what he meant was rather confusing. What does he mean by, "I am an aura of Ashura Pendragon Arturus Everos"? Does that mean he is not Ashura?
"Jared Everos" I replied. There was no point in antagonizing him, he just appeared, who knows. He might be innocent.
"Yin Everos"
"Yang Everos"
"I see, I see, I see. It seems mom and dad have been busy.¦>}]" He replied still in his usual carefree voice that was somewhat childlike.
"I have a question" Yang asked for permission to ask.
"Go ahead, whether I answer or not depends¦>}]"
"Who is Ashura Eversor? Do you know him?! Why is my friend having his books?"
"None of your business!!!!¦>}]" Ashura replied still with his usual tone and smile.
Finally Ashura stood up from the chair of air, but he was still standing in the air. He began to punch the air, and he for some reason looked at the palm of his right hand. Is he schizophrenic?
"It appears my powers are the same as back then. I am going to unseal myself later, but.... Let's have some fun. Shall we?¦>}]"
!!!
Hagh! That was the first time I felt that. Was that what sleeping feels like?
"You lots were so easy to kill!!!!¦>}]" Ashura screamed like a maniac. In an instant, I saw Yin and Yang's head disappear. "you were the hardest one that I ever killed, but it still was easy¦>}]"
I saw him briefly. Only a frame tho. He was killing us with his bare hands. No magic, nor law manipulation. Just simply brute force and plane manipulation.
I saw darkness once again. And then I can "see " once again. What I noticed however was that our surroundings changed. It was extremely hot, and dense.
*Tap *tap *tap.
I moved my head to the side and saw Ashura walking around us gently as if he was taking a stroll.
It was beautiful. Not him but the way he moved. He was using plane manipulation to move his body around. But what's more rude was that he does not have any body in all planes.
What we are fighting is just an aura puppeteering a body.
“come on, you guys are my siblings. It is no fun to keep ressurectin ya!¦>}]” he just revealed something demoralizing. I never even learned how to ressurect myself so I was quite confused on why I was being ressurected, and yet this guy was resurrecting us to have fun.
“I gave you guys some of my powers. So, better keep up!¦>}]”
I can now see him move clearly. But still, his movements were extremely precise. Plus, his use of space manipulation to move makes his movements faster and have more power.
Yin summoned a gun and shot at him.
“…”
“…”
“What did that do?!¦>}]” He asked with a tilt on his head.
Yang teleported behind Ashura, but he was immediately turned into red mist the moment he came contact with his skin.
Ashura dashed towards Yin, grabbed her face, and pierced the back of her head with his ever-changing body.
I summoned my sword and attempted to destroy what he was doing, but…. Nothing changed.
“Agh!” The hand that was carrying my sword disappeared, and so did the sword.
“Aaaah, so you got him huh?¦>}]” he said with a smile while examining the sword now in his hand.
Suddenly, the sword cracked and disappeared.
This man just erased destruction. Doesn’t he know the repercussions to it?
“Come at me with your powers, I will match it¦>}]”
Suddenly, I felt becoming weaker. This man really knows how to ridicule his enemies.
“No borrowed powers. No artifacts, just your power.¦>}]”
I summoned two swords made out of magic and dashed towards Ash. But I felt my neck sliced.
I began to hold my head and neck to prevent it from moving away.
“Do you even know how to use space manipulation and plane manipulation? You were even using law manipulation aside from defending against mine.¦>}]” I really should have plactised my space manipulation, if I did, maybe I could have began moving like Ashura.
“Those two are boring, only you can entertain me. We two are the same as dad. We are misfits on this WORLD” Suddenly he disappeared again, and everything went black.
And then I can see again. As usual, everything was black because of the fact we were in a black hole. Well except for Yin, Yang, Ashura, and my body.
“I am getting bored¦>}]” suddenly he grabbed his left hand with his right, and began to pull it. Blood spilled everywhere. And then in an instant, his arm was back, but he was still holding his former hand.
There were also these chains around us. I tried to break them, but I was met with a short darkness, and then I could see again.
“Jared, just stop. We can’t do anything to him.” Yang replied in a defeated tone which was surprising, considering the amount of excitement he had when searching for Ashura, well here he is!
Huh? I saw the blood from his former arm come out, and then the DNA changed into something else. I do not know what, but he removed some of the DNA on his blood cells.
Suddenly, a magic circle made out of blood appeared.
“See you soon.¦>}]” he said with a smirk before everything went black.
I woke up in a field full of flowers. And who was in front of me was Jay drinking tea.
“You.. no, you three died, and it was quite an embarrassment.”
I sat up from the field of grass, and the two siblings behind me followed suit.
“Oh well Yang, you should have listened to me-“ Jay stopped talking when he saw and I heard a slapping sound.
I turned around and saw Yang covering his right face with his hand. And besides him was Yin whose palm were red.
“What did you do?” Yin asked Yang with utter disdain. Oh wait, I haven’t fulfilled my promise yet, and do I really have to? She didn’t really do anything there apart from. Standing up.
“You retard! What did you do?” Yin grabbed Yang by the collar and began shouting at him
