Reva turned to find an older looking man behind her. He was dressed similarly as Ejiro. “Geez, Erhi, you scared me,” Reva yelled. “What’s going on? Who is that? How come he seems similar to us?” “Slow down with your questions I don’t know. Let’s take him to the chief,” Reva replied. “Very well,” He bent down and picked the man up. “Hey, Erhi, why did you leave me?” Ejiro arrived and asked. “I’m sorry,” Erhi apologized. “I’ll go ahead, get your hunt and follow behind,” he added. “Okay,” Erhi shot away into the depths of the forest. Reva looked at Ejiro. “Let’s go,” they agreed and left.… “Welcome back,” “Mom!!!” Reva shouted. She dumped the huge crab and rushed over to a woman in white clothing. A white cloth covered her blossoms while a white skirt was on. “When did you get back?” “At noon. I heard you and Ejiro found a foreigner,” the woman said. “Oh yeah. Unlike us his skin is white and so was his hair. His dressing was almost strange. He is definite
“Huh?” he looked at his left side and found his left arm was gone. “Oh, right,” he said. A five colored arm grew out before blending to his skin. “Incredible. You also use other power, other than Urhukpe,” the chief said. Dafe walked back with a wooden tray and placed it on the log between them. “You may excuse us,” the chief said and Dafe bowed. “What do you call that?” the chief asked as Dafe left. ~GROWL~ “Haha, it seems I should allow you eat,” the chief said. Huno smiled wryly as he looked at the food. He had never seen a dish like this. It seemed to be a black soup with leaves and meat in one bowl and a white substance in another bowl. Looking at the soup, Huno felt he saw death in front of his eyes. “I can assure you, it is not poison. There is no point in poisoning someone from the outside world,” the chief said. “Outside world?” “Yeah, this island and the ocean you see from its beach are all enclosed,” the chief said. “Those before me had tried
Huno laid on the ground. His breathing heavy and painful, his right eye lifeless and at the moment he had only one wish; death should take him. “He stopped screaming,” Hidi yelled ten minutes later. Huno mouth was open but not a single sound leaked out. His right eye closed and tears ran out from it. It wasn’t tears, rather blood. “He passed out!” … “I’m alive!” Huno manage to say. “Sir?” “Glad to see you are alive,” Huno looked around and found Hidi and the chief. He closed his eyes and slept off. … “Finally conscious,” Cleo voice sounded. “How long was I asleep?” “I don’t know, I too was asleep,” Huno sat up and stretched. “Is it just me, this place seems to have grown again,” “It’s not only that. I am completely healed. I don’t need to sleep,” Cleo replied. “Oh, that’s good. Does this mean whatever you did healed us?” “I didn’t do anything I only translated what the chief said,” “Well, we aren’t doing that again,” “I would say the g
It didn’t take long for the two to overtake her. She reduced her size and held on to Hidi as they two continued. “Kirin, just a little longer,” “A Phoenix isn’t known to be like you. Tell me why do you struggle so much? I would understand if this was related to the all father’s purpose but it doesn’t. Why struggle so much? When you can enter serenity and return to the blossom of the all father? You will be reborn in a new era,” “Currently I see things from the perspective of a mortal being. You see it from that of an immortal who can be reborn,” “So because of that you cling on to life and consider it an extremely valuable thing that you can’t let go. When in actual sense life is worthless. We are born with hate for beings we have never met and when we meet them we fight to the death and maybe die only to be reborn eons later,” “If you didn’t know you were going to be reborn after death what will you do?” The voice didn’t reply her question. “Well, I just found out th
“Oh, so the healing over the island helped many of you breakthrough,” Huno said after he swallowed. “It turns out this is good. Don’t judge a book by its cover. More please.” He handed the bowl over to the little girl who stood behind him. She smiled and hurried away. “Why is she so excited?” Huno asked. “Light god, she is one of the few that had never given up on leaving this place. When she and her friend found you, she believed you’ll be the one to bring us out,” “I see, but I won’t be bringing you guys out any time soon. I wish to stay here and cultivate to a higher realm,” “We are but your humble followers. We have no place to go against your decisions,” “Good,” “Sir, here you go,” Hidi said. He turned and found her holding a sword and a shield. “I made four platinum grade artifacts,” “Oh, it seems you made use of the past year,” “Madam has been very helpful. She taught our people many things. And she’s also part of the reason we could advance fast,” “Oh,
~Eleven Months Later~ ~Boom~ “What’s going on?” Huno asked as soon as he shot out of his hut. “Madam made it to a higher realm,” the chief replied. “So quick? It’s be barely seven years,” “Well three months ago she went into seclusion saying she had gotten enlightenment,” the chief said. “That was after she made something she called the king grade artifact,” “Oh…” “I apologize for disturbing your cultivation,” Hidi’s voice sounded interrupting him. “You don’t have to apologize. I’m happy. Prepare the next set of people, I’m about to breakthrough too,” Huno said. “Understood,” the chief replied and flew away. “Sir, these are for you,” Hidi said and handed him two artifacts. “You gave me two platinum grade artifact not long ago. You keep them,” “I can’t do that sir. You need them more than me,” “What happens if I don’t take them?” Huno asked. “Uh, nothing,” “And if told you to destroy them?” Hidi frowned while looking at him. “I… I can only obe
Huno sat found a place to sit down. He urged his energy and one after another his nine stars appeared around him. Their size increased and showed no sign of stopping. “What’s wrong?” Cleo asked after thirty minutes. “I don’t know,” Huno replied. It doesn’t usually take long for him to break through but this time it was different. He opened his eyes and exhaled. “Huh?” he frowned staring at the nine gigantic stars hovering above him. “Huno, don’t you think we should postpone your breakthrough?” “Can you feel that?” Huno asked. “Yeah it feels like Cosmo is filled up,” “Yeah but it can still contain one more, so why?” One of the stars started rotating vertically. One after the other the rest followed. The sky roared and it seemed to be happy. The dark clouds cleared as the roaring continued. “This?” Huno gasped. From all directions nature essence flowed towards him. It wasn’t only nature essence, Qi (True Qi and Legend Qi) energy, monster Qi and an energy that Hun
“I don’t know I just noticed it,” Cleo replied. The three worlds which had completely formed were merging together. The fourth one which was still forming had moved closer to the three but didn’t merge with them. “I don’t feel any harm, so it’s a good thing,” Huno said and turned to the sun. After fusing with Kiri’s core, it was bigger and brighter than before. “When’s Kiri waking up?” he asked. “To be honest, I don’t know. I’m a little worried,” Cleo replied. “I hope things go well,” Huno said and disappeared. ~Two Month Later~ Huno opened his eyes. ~I would like to ask everyone to step out of the encirclement~ ~What’s wrong?~ the eagle asked. ~Senior, this phenomenon concerns my cultivation. With everyone cultivating here my cultivation is regressing. I would drop in realm if it goes on~ ~Oh, if that’s the case, then…~ ~Because an ant orders it, you want to obey ~ the snake snickered. ~Why are some of you just dumb?~ the raccoon muttered. It slowly go
Huno appeared inside a room. In it Sarai who sat beside an unconscious Wu Yi, held a napkin. With it she wiped Wu Yi’s body. His heart ached at the sight.“Mom,” Huno called out and Sarai paused. When she looked behind, her eyes widened. Tears flowed down her eyes and weak sobs escaped her. Huno walked up to her and embraced.“You are back… I’m… I’m so sorry…”“It’s not your fault mom,” Huno interrupted. “It’s not your fault.”“Ah!” she cried her heart out in his arm.“It’s alright, everything is gonna be okay,” said Huno, embracing her more.“But Yi’er won’t wake up. The alchemist said there’s nothing they can do,” she said gripping his shirt. “I’m sorry.”“There’s something I can do, so relax mom. Yi’er is going to wake up,” Huno assured her. “I’m here now. Everything is going to be alright.”“There’s something you can do?” Sarai asked with tears still running down.“Yes.” Huno nodded. He disengaged himself from her. “Give me a second,” he added.Sarai nodded and watched him move to
“Dear, dear,” said Lee Wei who arrived behind her. He patted her shoulders and added. “She’s alive and that’s all that matters.”Xue Li faced him and nodded. Her embrace loosen a bit. Luna pulled out and flashed her a bright smile. “You are right husband,” Xue Li said.“Elder brother Wei, Sis Li, brother Chiro, I missed you all,” one of the ladies called out. Luna gave way for her and she hugged Xue Li.“You are… Saint?” Xue Li asked.“Yes,” the lady nodded. “Husband, brought me a body.”“Husband!” Chiro coughed. He and everyone else turned to Huno with questions written on their faces.Lili eyes twitched while she faced him. Lin Si cleared her throat while Lu Yal and Lu Yan stared confused.“A lot happened, we’ll explain,” Luna said getting everyone’s attention. “But first…”She bowed to Lin Si, hands cupped. “Greetings second mom,” she said.Lin Si looked at her. “I’m Luna, Huno’s first wife and I pay my respect,” Luna said.“Raise your head…”“Not yet mom,” Luna interrupted. “I kno
Without a word she shot forward. No one among them saw where she went next. She moved faster than anything they’ve ever seen.“Huh?”“Ah!”With every gasp, every scream, a head flew or a body got divided into two. People lost their life before they even realized it. Lin Si watched the scene in awe. Something within her ignited. She couldn’t explain it nor could she describe it. However, she knew she had to meet the real Lin Si quick. The onslaught before her made her blood boil.She turned to Luyi and said. “Tell her I need to get back to my main body. It’s urgent.”“Huh? Yes ma’am,” Luyi said and yelled, “mom, madam needs to get to her real body.”Fuyi halted before a man, her sword stopping inches away from his neck. He sighed quietly as she turned to Luyi’s direction. The man tried to leave quietly, but she swung her hand, uprooting his life in a slash. She took a deep breath and sighed before she flew towards Lin Si. The orders of Huno’s mother came before her desire to kill.***
***“Is there any need to continue this pointless war, Lin Si?” a man roared while striking the sword in his hand. His torn garment had blood stains on it from the ugly wounds he had all over his body. He looked terrible but his opponent looked worse. “Surrender, and your city will remain intact, I promise.”The woman he spoke to, Lin Si, turned a deaf ear to his words. She couldn’t believe him, not in a million years. Lin Si had only one intention, kill him and end this war.She let out a loud shriek and transformed to an eagle. Flames rushed out of her mouth at him.“You are a monster race,” he frowned as he blocked the flames. His frown grew intense when he found three Lin Si staring at him. “You think two fakes will prevent me from pinpointing you.”He struck at the Lin Si to the left. However, she dodged while the others attacked.“Tch,” the man tsk. “How come the attacks of the fakes are real?” he thought.He could barely block their combined attacks. “It’s as if they can all re
He disengaged, stared at her and smiled. She had a black and white dress on, her hair flawlessly white and eyes blue just as his own.Huno kissed her lips, they were as soft as he remembered. Well, he couldn’t really remember how soft they used to feel.“How’s junior sister Saint?” Luna asked him.“She’s possessing the body I brought,” he replied her with a smile, then took her hand. “Let’s go see.”Their surroundings changed, they had returned to the house. The duo watched quietly and made sure they did not interrupt her.“Huno,” Shinari’s voice sounded in his head.“Huh?”“Are you close to Melina’s body?” she asked him.“Yeah why?”“Open a portal towards it,” she instructed him.“Is something wrong?”“Who are you talking to?” Luna asked.“Shinari, the world spirit of my world in Cosmo,” Huno replied.“Nothing is wrong, just do it,” Shinari replied.“Alright.”A portal appeared before him and Luna. Nearly instantaneously, a green light shot out of it and entered the body on the floor
“Everyone is gone to where?” Huno frowned.“To the Dou realm, Lin Si took them away,” Saint said.“Everyone left you?” Huno’s frown turned to a sad face.“No, I kicked them out. They didn’t want to go,” Saint replied. “It’s not their fault I’m stuck here. I’ve made peace with fate. Everyone is meant to leave me one day.”“Not if I have something to say about it,” Huno said. “I brought a body for you… why are you laughing?”“Come on Huno, you think in all my years alive, I haven’t tried possessing a body?” Saint asked.“Oh, it didn’t work?”“I tried one thousand one hundred and sixty seven times. Every time the body I tried to possess disintegrated before I got to complete the process,” Saint replied with a sigh.“Hmm, it wouldn’t hurt to try again,” Huno said with an encouraging smile.“Alright.” Saint rolled her eyes at him then asked. “Where’s the body?”Huno stretched his hand out and a body appeared on it. With it’s appearance came a terrifying aura. Huno felt his body go numb. Th
~Two Days Later~~BOOM!!!~ The dark sky roared and expressed its anger. Milto, the one who had caused its rage, sat quietly underneath, preparing to face it. Afar off to the south, watching him were the Melings and several others. To the east were a group of creatures he knew not off and to the west were more creatures. Unbeknown to him, Huno appeared in the Melings camp.“Husband,” Bing Ya called out. He kissed her forehead and turned to Elta, who smiled at him. He returned the smile and gave her a kiss on her forehead.“Welcome,” “Is everyone here?” Huno asked.“Just the pseudo kings and above,” Elta replied. “Okay. Greetings third mom,”“Oh, you finally noticed me,” Bing Yu said with a smile. “I’m sorry,”“It’s alright. Who are they by the way?” Bing Yu tilted her head towards the creatures afar off. “Subordinates of a few friends. They were brought to watch,”“I see,” “Allow me to step away for a while,” Huno said.“Okay,” “Ladies, I’ll be
~A Few Weeks Later~ “Mhm, Mhmm,”“You are up?” Luna’s voice sounded. Huno turned to her and closed his eyes while muttering. “Heaven and earth release,” His body shone slightly, and his realm dropped slowly. “Thank you,”“For?” “Caring about Elta and Bing Ya, and taking the time to worry about their insecurities,” Luna’s eyes widened and shone like a touch. “You heard us that day!” “Yeah. I woke up and slept back several times. The recoil of borrowing that power took a toil on me. I might need to sleep for a few weeks. My muscles are still a bit strained,”“Pease forgive me, I didn’t mean to hide…” “I have no concerns of your past sweetie. I care for our present and our future,”“But… I…” “You don’t have to worry sweetie, I’m not angry. And if there’s anything you feel I should know, or there’s any problem we need to work on, you can let me know when you are ready,”“Thanks,” Luna flew to his side and kissed him. “To be honest, there’s not much problem.
... “We are here,” Huno said staring down at the ice fortress beneath them. “Thank you,”“Are these your subordinates? They look different from humans,” Golden crow said looking at those that had flew out to greet them. Several third petals had flew out to face them. Seeing Huno, their expressions had changed. They were greatly relieved.“It seems, they were ready to die while biting a bit of our flesh. Haha,” “Yes, those are my subordinates. They are Melings, they aren’t human,”“There are several of them. Their number is quite large. Do you want to take them over to the Fallen world?” Qiong Qi asked.“That would take months,” Golden crow said. “Just a few days. I need to rest a bit so we won’t be moving immediately,” Huno replied. “I haven’t rested properly since my resurrection,”“Okay,” Huno turned to the third petals. “Prepare a resting place for the various seniors,”“Yes sir,” Izu responded.“Well, we too need to rest, I guess,” Golden crow said. Huno
