“Sorry,” Cleo replied as Huno stood up straight. “This…” he could see what he felt clearly now. “It’s coming from all of you,” Huno released his divine sense and felt the energy. Upon contact, his mind became left and an unimaginable amount of faith and believe filled his heart. At this moment, he sincerely believed everything was okay. His doubt concerning everything and anything cleared away. This was the power of combined faith and believe. “Huh?” He looked towards the river and his eyes widened. “No way!”“What’s wrong?” “It’s real, haha,” He raised his hands and waved towards the river with a big smile on his face. Above the river, Huno could see thousands of soul floating. Some were a bit reluctant to go, while others happily waved at them, blowing kisses with a smile on their faces. “I’m sorry I doubted you all. I wish you safe journey to your new beginning!” Huno yelled.“What do you…?“We can see them, all of them,” Cleo interrupted Milto’s
Hiroshi was the first to react. He didn’t understand what happened and he wasn’t the only one. Everyone who saw what happened were confused. It had happened so fast that they didn’t understand. Huno loud yell had shook the surrounding battlefield, causing those fighting nearby to become on lookers. Some had seen Huno thrust his blade into the old empress. Next a huge black phantom appeared and disappeared immediately. But that wasn’t the problem, the problem was the phantom looked like an eyeball. Though it had come and gone in a flash, it released a presence, one that caused each of them to tremble. Fear was an understatement to what they felt. Horror wasn’t enough to describe it and neither was terror. It was beyond anything they knew or have felt before. Hiroshi took a step forward and fell to his knees. His mouth opened wide and a large amount of blood gushed out. He felt all the organs inside him ache, it was as if he was stabbed by a thousand blade all at once
A long time went by, Huno continued forward slowly and the old empress followed behind. Constantly watching her back for the incoming threat that she could not see, she cursed under her breath.“Move faster you idiot,” She didn’t want to get too close, but the distance between them was getting shorter as time went by. All of a sudden, Huno stopped and landed on the ground. She frowned at him but also paused and turned around.“When? When did it… ?” She didn’t know when the threat behind disappeared. It had left without a trace.“He must have noticed it. Does that mean in here his senses are better than mine?” She turned to him and found him seated cross legged on the land. She didn’t dare do that but sat down where she floated to recover.“How do I escape this place?” The old empress closed her eyes and started tending to her wounds. She had to recover to her peak state as quick as possible. A while later, she opened her eyes back and frowned.“Time is different he
She gave him the cutest smile ever. “Long time no see, Huno,” His eyes widened and he hugged her tight. “You are alive!” he said.“Well, my soul, but yeah,” she replied.“I missed you so much, Luna,” Huno cried out. His embrace got tighter, and his breathing calmer. He didn’t want to let go for any reason.It took a while for him to disengage. He smiled and looked at her. “You’ve been in here all these while?” he asked.“You didn’t know?” She tilted her head and frowned at him. “I’ve been sleeping in here, recuperating,” “Why didn’t you let me know?”“I was sleeping, how do I do that in my sleep? Besides, weren’t you the one who woke me up just now?” Huno looked at her and blinked. “Never mind. I don’t care, you are here that’s what matters,” he said.“Hehe. Why’s your soul multi colored?” “I cultivate the five elements,”“Huh? I don’t understand. By the way, what’s wrong with your body? It feels different and more importantly, it feels like it’s hurt,” “That? W
“Hmm… oh, to be honest, I forget about them when I fight,”“They are really strong techniques,” “Noted,”“Let’s get out of here,” “I’ll do that,” Huno flew forward for a while then stopped. “When all this is over I’ll look for a body for you,” he said. Luna kept quiet and Huno asked. “Is something wrong?”“Nothing,” “You sure? Your emotion just now…”“It’s just, I thought of something. I finally understand why I was locked up,” Luna said. “Don’t let that bother you,”“It will bother me. Just like for you, may be Kurai tried to take my body. I probably lost control and the people around at that time, decided to lock me up,” she said. Huno could feel the sadness in her voice. He opened his mouth to reply but closed it back. “So what about it? They weren’t your friends or family, if they were they wouldn’t call you an abomination. Don’t let it bother you because you have a true family now, and it will never call you an abomination,” he finally said.“I know.
“Not bad. Nice reaction speed,” Huno said to Kong, who had increased the distance between them. “Peak, second petal. What an inconvenience? I’m very low on energy,”“You!” Kong brought out a pair of daggers and snared at Huno. “What are you?” he yelled. A sword appeared in Huno’s hand. To Kong, it gave out an aura, one that he was very used to. One he spent half his life fighting. His gaze roamed around Huno’s body, searching for a confirmation.“You are a transformed monster, aren’t you?” “Huh?” Kong gulped and held his daggers tightly. A monster who could transform was harder to deal with. This was something he learnt from experience. One reason be a transformed monster’s realm can not easily be determined. One could be facing a third petal and wouldn’t know until they had exchanged blows. The princess frowned at Kong’s words. Monsters were known for their ferociousness. It was foolish thinking asking one for help. “I assure you, I am human,” Huno ur
~A Month Later~ Huno opened his eyes and stretched a bit. “Shin, how’s everything there?”“Shinari! And everything is good, but the energy is terribly far from being recovered,” “It will take me years to recover it,” Huno said.“You just had to go waste it. When battling in the future, be careful not to draw from here. You better manage the energy in your body. Don’t go destroying my new body,” “I’ll be more careful,” Huno voiced and stood up. “It’s time I paid that crow a visit,”“Is that a good idea? That crow is stronger than a third petal and you sensed it from afar. Doesn’t that mean it has sensed you too?” “It has. The reason I sensed it was because it sensed me,”“Huh?” “From this distance I wouldn’t have sensed it. The crow sensed me and made its presence known to me. That means it is asking for help,”“Wait, you want to free it? If it gets free won’t it kill everyone around?” “Probably,”“And you want to release it?” “I’ll do my best to make sur
The duo continued onward and made their way to a big city. From where he was, Huno could see a floating island above the city.“This is Flamerol city, the capital of the Sun kingdom,” the princess said. “I see, but I don’t really care,”“The princess!”“It really is the princess!”“The princess is back!”“Spread the words, the princess is back,”… Several people shouted as they arrived the city gate. By the time they entered, everyone below had their eyes on them. “Let’s go higher,” Huno said.“Okay,” The two flew higher into the sky and continued forward. In no time they arrived the floating island. It was huge and on it was castle. “It’s majestic,” Huno thought. In front of it was a statue, almost half the size of the castle. The statue was of a man, he had long beards and long hair. His eyes were closed and his hand stretched out. He had a sword and a shield behind him. And countless small beast statues laid on the ground around him. The princess bow
