“What about the Hilami, teacher?”
“Don’t worry about them. They won’t go anywhere and someone will take care of them later on.
If you’re concerned about losing your magical beast, don’t be since your name has already been imprinted as its owner. No one in the sect would steal someone’s possession inside its premises.
That least I can assure you.” Corin replied with a smile.
“Okay, teacher.” Maru said and observed the towering buildings around him.
While it may appear rundown compared to th
“I recommend this one, Maru.” Master Corin took out a cultivation manual from amidst the sea of books.Since this was the first time the boy would see this innumerable collection of knowledge, thus he deemed it necessary to give some kind of guidance to the little child.If not, then they would stay here for decades to finish scouring the place up piece by piece.“Is he really only at Body Cultivator Stage, Master Corin?”Saladino queried while the boy was busy flipping the pages and looked at the various demonstrations of body forms and kata in order to complete the entire cycle of the technique.
All were instantly wondering who the little boy was in the midst of the Elders but none got the courage to speak their minds out loud.It would be an exercise of stupidity to do so since it was of no concern to them whatsoever. They would only invite the ire of the Elders and nothing good would come out of that.“Give me a set of sect robes for this new disciple and register him for the best available cave of dwelling in the sect. Do it at once, Kathi!” Master Saladino instructed the one in charge of the registry.They were now inside a lavish room that hinted at the extravagance not only of the sect but also of the taste of the one who occupied the office.
Although Master Saladino was more potent than him in might and status but he did not believe that he would do anything untoward unto himself.Internal strife was strictly prohibited by the Sect Master and the sect rules were there for a reason.The existence of the Tomb of Traitors was a clear manifestation of the iron will of the Infernal Blood Sect’s Leader and its Elders.“What about me?” Master Saladino lamented. A fleeting thought of murdering Master Corin flashed through his eyes.There was a slight chance that he could escape the Sect Master because a report landed on his ears that his Master suffered
“Walk through the door.” Was the man’s only response.“I’ll try.” Maru replied and waved a hand out in front of him. He started walking forward and when his outstretched palms touched the gates, the view around him completely transformed.“What kind of magic is this?” Maru wondered out loud as he witnessed the colorful images created and recreated time and time again.At first it came to his house in the slums and to his wooden hut second, then his mansion in the city of Antavale, next was of course his castle in the late Vestal Virgin Sect,and lastly was his recent home in the
"Negative, Maru. This spirit has been buried in this place for countless eras and has already forgotten to associate with the material plane of existence." the system replied."Can you help her, Madame Ais?" Maru wished."Affirmative, Maru." the system responded positively."Hello, little child. Are you lost?" the woman finally looked at Maru and lent him her winning smile once more."Hi auntie! I'm Maru. What's your name?" and Maru smiled back. Aside from the complete white that graced the scene, only the azure gown of the unknown woman made a drastic contrast anywhere.
"Take me back, Madame Ais." Maru was crestfallen after he met his recent acquaintance and it had shadowed his will to cultivate at this time. Nevertheless, this was the reality of the situation. No sense in clinging on something that could not really ascend simple words and futile wishes."CREAK!" The imagery shattered to birth a new visual delight for Maru.Gone were the boring tints of a singular cast but it was now superseded with the entrance of bountiful vibrant tones."I'm back." Maru muttered and chose to roam his vision upon the beautiful paintings on the wall.After five minutes of inactivity, it was then that the lit
* * *On a precipice of the void, two voices reached out to one another.“That giant is making a big movement this time. The other continents are currently suffering with innumerable deaths on all sides. Only our continent of Qeeton remains untouched.”The first voice stated.“The question rises if this is but a ploy to lure us out or does this present us a chance to finally strike a fatal blow at that unknown traveler.” A second whispered back.“Do you think the power of that class would need trickery to wipe us all to the
Wherever he may go, from now until the end of time, Maru couldn't imagine a life without his family. This was why he was extremely adamant in gaining strength.To be with them until the last of the night stars fell to darkness."I'm afraid not, Maru. The journey will be long and tiring. I won't advise you to bring anyone else with you if ever you choose to journey in those realms.But what I can promise you is that time will halt on this world, only to restart once more upon your return. Isn't that magical?" the devil spoke in tongues and riddles.Madame Ais' honeyed words brought the little child into the wondrous expectation
