The lightning elements churn and white light obstructed Red's vision as a spatial passage opened. He is filled with smiles for he knows that after a couple of months, he finally has a chance to return home.
He is melancholic as the faces of those whom he wanted to meet flashed on his mind but when he regained his vision he almost spat all of his blood.
…
Meanwhile, in the royal palace of the kingdom, Hudson was talking with a middle-aged man who was wearing a crown atop his head, along with Luna.
"When are you leaving? The meeting of the five kingdoms is about to commence," Hudson reminded the king as he sipped his tea.
"I don't know, I still have not chosen five representatives for the younger generation," he replied then added, "the youths today barely meet my standards."
"Father it's because you expect too much," Luna interjected.
The Central Kingdom is the center of the world, well, if you look at the perspective of normal folk and low-level maguses.Red and the others were brought by Benedict into one of the halls of his royal palace. Inside it, there is a young man the same age as Red. He has fine black hair and sword-like eyebrows. He also looked scholarly and gentlemanly.Benedict looked at Red and said, "this is my son, Kevin."Red nodded and, "hello, I am Red," before giving a polite bow.Kevin looked at Red and was curious why he is with the royal family of the Northern Kingdom. He gave it a thought and understood the introduction of his father.He felt a pinch in his heart.
The next day, the royal 'family' of the Northern Kingdom is in the dining hall while eating their breakfast. King Benedict was not able to join because he needed to tend to an urgent matter that recently came up. While Kevin is attending the selection for the five representatives of the younger generation of the Central Kingdom.Red did not want to join them but he was forced by Hudson.The dining hall was silent and only the sound of the eating utensils hitting each other can be heard."Can maguses manipulate blood?" Red asked all of sudden.He kinda regretted not pursuing Talia at that time. He was not sure why, but his gut feeling is telling him that there will be big trouble because of her in the future.<
"I have defeated you last time, I can defeat you again."Red waved his hand and the lighting serpent bared its crackling fangs towards them. The serpent is ten meters long and is extremely fast and agile.It dashed towards them at a great speed, which terrorized them. They furiously flapped their wings while most of them that were not fast enough turned into a blood mist and barely avoided the serpent.They tried to move out of Red's range but Red won't let them off easily. He flashed and chased after them. Red knows that this is a great time to reduce their numbers.He speculated that they must be weakened. He remembered that Hudson said that although they might be able to become otherworldly for a short moment, th
"The leaves of the king tree are scarlet just like Red's hair," Lily mumbled as she saw the tree."Senior Tree, we are being pursued. Can we hide here?" Kane asked politely to the Tree of Knowledge."Hmmm, come now, those ants won't be able to hurt you here," the tree said with a voice of mockery.Lily looked around. She was stunned by the view. She sees a lot of things atop the tree."Uncle Kane, when do you think I can see Red?"Before Kane could even answer, the voice of the Tree of Knowledge reverberated on their heads."Don't worry, you will meet again."
Red and Luna did have a few rounds on that night. Red wanted more but Luna was already at her limit so he had no choice but to hold himself.They departed the cave after they ate the rabbit that Red roasted.They were not far away from the city and arrived at the royal palace after flying for a couple of hours.Hudson and Lewis were waiting on a balcony of the palace. They searched for Red and Lily but they could not find them. All they saw was the remnants of the battle as if Red and Lily disappeared into the thin air.They did not sleep and even asked Benedict to mobilize the city task force to search for them."Uncle Lewis, we cannot find them," Kevin re
"Everyone, we will be postponing the meeting of the Five-Kingdom Alliance," Benedict announced."We know your time is precious but we should also know that the attack of the vampires is too sudden. Furthermore, they are also prepared and we are caught off guard.""Yes, we lost two oracles," the southern king agreed, "we will wait for the news regarding the heir of the oracle of Middle Earth.""I disagree, we need to take action now," the sea desert king expressed his opinion. "We don't know when they will take action again. Moreover, we also need to find out their goal."When Red heard the Sea Desert King, his heart faltered. He knew the reason for the attack of the vampires but he was afraid that maybe somehow they
Round two continued."I challenge number thirteen," the number eleven lady from the Sea Dessert challenged Red."I am Hali, let's have a good fight," she said as she slightly bowed down.Red stared at Hali for a while. She was beautiful, her face, her eyes, and her body was perfect but Red did not give it a second look. If he did not have Luna, maybe he would."I am Red," he replied in a plain voice.Surprisingly, the lady took out a staff. She never used a staff in her previous fights.Red felt flattered, but he did not say anything nor take out anything. He only has his spear in his hands.
After eating half of the king gold, Rocky went into the corner and closed his eyes.Red looked at Rocky helplessly. He kinda expected that Rocky would go into a deep sleep after he ate the king gold. Although Rocky won't be able to help him in this way, he did not mind because this is like seclusion for Rocky. When he wakes up, he will surely become more powerful.Red put him into his mana dimension and also placed the remaining king gold into the pile of ores in his other pocket dimension. Then, he went back to the royal palace and prepared himself for the first meeting of the Five-Kingdom Alliance.He took a quick bath and put on one of the suits that he bought when he was with Luna before the assassination.After
180 The Truth And How It EndsWhen Red disappeared he has emerged with the memories of this world. He saw how the world was birthed and how it nurtured its inhabitant.At first, the world is just an energy. However, it attracted the other energies and absorbed them until it become big.Then, the first life form was birthed. This life form is the simples form of life. It did not have a mind but was not sentient.All it knew it to eat and reproduce. Further than that, the creature did not know it.Meanwhile, as time passes by, the first creature had evolved.For thousands to millions of years, they evolved, and finally, some gained sentient.After a billion years, the first human had appeared. At this point, the most intelligent creature is the humans. However, they are weak.It was like a character from a video game that had high intelligence but low physic.Red waited for a long time to see them evolve. However, their ev
Whoosh!In the next second, there is another World Pillar heading towards the Threads of Fate.There’s no doubt, this is indeed the Pillar of Wood that the Tree of Knowledge is holding into.Since the two binders are dead, he no longer has use for the Pillar of Wood. Thus, he might as well return it to where it would be useful.Tink!Indeed, with the addition of another World Pillar, the Threads of Fate had its power become a bit stronger.“So, that’s how it is. The fate is akin to a net while the elements are its pillars.”Red understood the further the fate.“It has control over everything. If not for me, the eye would have not entered. There shouldn’t have any trouble like this.”“Is this why it was trying its best to control me?” Red asked himself.At this point, his fragile heart was pierced. However, he gritted his teeth and he was even more determined to
Kring! It took only a moment of the eye to remove the shackles unto itself. Fortunately, the Threads of Fate is a sturdy thing, Meanwhile, the pupil of the one gigantic eye glowed and launched a concentrated beam towards him. Pfft! Red flashed, but he underestimated the beam. He was hit by the shockwave and gained some injuries that were healed in a matter of seconds. However, before Red could get a breather, another beam was launched towards him. “This Bastard.” This time, he had learned his lesson. He flashed at the same time that the beam was launched. This simple action is not simple at all. It is hard to predict when will the beam be launched. If he flashed ahead of time, the eye will definitely hit him. At the same time, it was also the same if he is a bit late. Fortunately, Red had foresight. Pfft! Then again, there is another one. And again, Red dodged. This went on for a while. T
177 Ten years had passed but the war is still not done. However, the result of the war could now be seen. The forces of the Threads of Fate had already suffered an overwhelming defeat. A bit more and they will finally be defeated. Indeed, after another year, the forces of the Threads of Fate are now wiped out. However, just like normal times, the war would always be cruel. Both sides suffered many deaths. At the same time, although Red’s forces won, they are not in a good mood. They are grieving for their dead companions and family members. “Everyone, the war has always been cruel. However, I would like to express my sincerest apology. If not for me, none of them should have died in this manner.” At this time, Red is not merely talking. This is indeed what he felt. However, he knew that he cannot afford to make their sacrifices useless. He had to finish what had been started. He needs to defeat the Threads of Fate and l
Red managed to defeat the binders; however, he still has one enemy left, which is the Threads of Fate. “The binders are dead. Time for me to face the Threads of Fate.” Of course, Red knew that he cannot be carefree in dealing with the Threads of Fate. It was, after all, a very powerful Divine Weapon. Or perhaps, it even surpassed the ranks of a Divine Weapon. Of course, whether it really surpassed the ranks of a Divine Weapon or not, Red would not know. At this moment, the Token of Fate in his spiritual space vibrated as it wanted to leave. “Eh?” Seeing that, Red took it out. Then, in the next second, the vibration becomes a lot more intense. After which, an illusory figure of a middle-aged man appeared. The man is not someone familiar to him. At the same time, he doubts that the man is from the current era. “Hmm.” The man looked up and scrutinized the sky. “It had already reached to this degree?
“Haha! Old man, are you afraid that I will be able to learn your spell again?”Red taunted the old man with joy.Of course, it had an effect on the old man.“I don’t believe you can learn this.”After the old man said that, a series of spells were cast towards Red.The old man’s solution is simple. If Red cannot survive his attack, he cannot learn the spell and would die instead.However, to his surprise, Red appeared at his back and commended him.“Woah, that’s a lot of spells.”Red’s eyes were gleaming.“Old man, how generous of you.”Cough!As the old man heard that, he coughed out blood. Although he knew that Red can learn his spells, he did not expect that his trick would be useless against Red.“How did you…”The old man wanted to ask him how is he unscathed but Red silenced him but showed a Black
“Void!”The Shade Binder did not hesitate to cast his spell towards the tree of knowledge. He is intending for him to die.His eyes turned Black akin to a black hole. Then, from within, all that he saw would be engulfed by shadows and disappear.“Tree, if we had been on the same side, I would not be killing you. However, in consideration that you are against me, you will die. I will burn your branches to ashes.”Despite the taunting of the Shade Binder, the Tree of Knowledge is not a Tree of Knowledge for nothing. Just like an old man that was full of knowledge, the three of knowledge are calm and patient at all times.“Blood Forest!”It counter-attacked the spell of the old man.In an instant, the surrounding of the Tree of Knowledge turned into a forest of blood. Scarlet trees and scarlet grasses grew.Then, in the next second, the grasses turned into blades and flew towards the old man cou
At this moment, Red’s talent in forging was displayed by the extraordinary abilities of the weapons that he had forged.With the weapons, on their hand, it was rather easy for them to brave their ordeal.Meanwhile, the Galleon of Destiny also kept attacking some of the weavers making them into the passive side. At the same time, those that were targeted by the Galleon of Destiny will either be injured or dead.At this time, Luna had decided to join the fray. Thus, she sat cross-legged and took out the weapon that Red forged for her. It was like an orb. Then, on a closer look, one could notice that it has patterns akin to the moon.Unlike the weapons of the five, hers did not need physical contact. All it needed is to control it from her visions.With a thought, the moon orb flew out of the Galleon of Destiny and into the sky.As it rose higher, it also grew bigger. Then, when it reached a certain height, it could already block th
“Hmm?”In the respective ships that the two binders used to chase the Galleon of Destiny, the binders noticed the disturbance in the atmosphere.It’s not that they have a very keen sense, but rather, the Threads of Fate notified them. Red’s breakthrough is a thing that the Threads of Fate will not allow.Why? The two binders also did not know. And, there is nothing they can do about it.Well, they are hoping that the Time Binder will let them know; however, they cannot support Red because they are under the control of the Threads of Fate. Furthermore, they also want to break free from the Threads of Fate but the key to their shackles is in the Galleon of Destiny which was owned by Red, the heir of the Time Binder.Indeed, their situation is very complicated. But the most significant thing is that they can do nothing against the Threads of Fate.The Threads of Fate is absolute with its things.A/N: oh, well, per
