At an underground of some Mansion on Earth, a cute and lovely young girl that is about 12-13 years old is currently breathing heavily due to extreme exhaustion.
Wearing a gorgeous white dress with white long hair and silver eyes, she looked like a beautiful and cute little angel.
In fact, even if she wears casual clothes, her beauty is something that cannot be denied. A beauty to the extent that can make a flower blush and make the moon hide because of her cuteness and loveliness. Although she looks young in her appearance, she gives off an impression of a mature young lady.
"-----Indecisive bastard! Insecure scoundrel! Irresponsible Rascal! I'll make sure you regret confining me here!"
While glaring at a certain young man that is about 25 meters away from her, the young girl spoke up with resentment in her exhausted state.
"Oi, oi, oi! Since when did you learn to speak like that Alicia!? I never recall that I've taught you to speak that way!"
When the young man heard how disrespectful the young girl spoke, the young man replied as he furrowed his eyebrows.
The young man wore a casual combination of clothes while wearing a black jacket with a beautiful 2D female character printed on it. Looking about 21-22 years old in his appearance, he gives off an impression of a composed middle-aged man.
"Blah, Blah, Blah!" Is what the young girl replied annoyingly to the young man.
Seeing how disrespectful his disciple, the young man's cheeks twitched with irritation.
-----
Standing up with great difficulty like a waving bamboo, the young girl hold up her giant axe and made it as a support.
The giant axe that the young girl is holding up is colored pitch black. Miraculously with her tiny body, she can move the giant axe that is three times her size as if it was nothing!
With gray skulls attached on the giant axe serving as it's design, the young girl looked like a barbarian with her begrudging eyes despite her beautiful and cute appearance.
After standing up with great difficulty, the young girl's eyes are still filled with determination. Although she failed many attempts of breaking the confinement array, she never lost hope and felt despair.
'----...*Heavily Breathing* You-you've got to be kidding me!
If [Ocean's Obliteration] and [Tearing Sky] have no effect, then---'
"Give up Alicia. You can't destroy that confinement array. Even if you do, I still have a defensive array around me. Therefore---"
"SHUT UP YOU DIMWITTED ******, SHUT THE **** UP. DON'T INTERRUPT ME WHEN I AM THINKING!"
Interrupted by the young girl's angry and disrespectful tone, the young man's eyebrows and cheeks twitched again with irritation and anger.
Of course, as the Master of the young girl, she is the reflection of his teachings!
Hearing her use such vulgar and disrespectful words towards him, he can't help but fume up with anger!
He never taught her those of things, when and how did she learned all of those vulgar way of speaking!?
...*Breathing Heavily*
But, when he saw how desperate and how exhausted the young girl in front of him, the young man felt like his heart is being cut by a dozens of blades. Seeing his own disciple on such sorry state, he can't help it but replace his anger to concern towards the young girl.
With about 25 meters of distance from each other and a separation of two spherical barriers like walls between the young girl and the young man, it's hard if not impossible for the young girl to reach the young man.
One of the spherical barriers like wall is color pink, it is the barrier that is responsible for confining the young girl.
While the other one is a blue spherical barrier, covering the young man and blocks everything that will come near him.
...*Ning* ...*Ning*
While the young man is feeling guilt of seeing his disciple in such exhausted and desperate condition, the ground below him shone with azure symbolic characters of unknown language. With the young man as it's center, all the places within 20 meters in radius shone with azure light.
Feeling that his presence is already fading bit by bit in this world, the young man looked at the young girl with mixed feelings. Seeing her useless struggles, the young man unconsciously gripped his fists tightly until blood came out from it.
-----
...*Breathing Heavily* ...*Cough*
With a blurry vision because of extreme exhaustion, the young girl coughed a mouthful of blood before looking at the pink barrier in front of her.
...*Ning* ...*Ning*
'---There's no time left... Or else... Master will really---'
Agitated by the sudden azure light in front of her, she closed her eyes and begun to execute something.
'---There is no other choice... I can only use 'THAT'!'
...*Blaze* ...*Blaze*
When the young girl opened her eyes, blazing white flames suddenly emerged out of nowhere. With only a few more moments after that, the blazing white flames grew bigger and bigger. It crawled all over her surroundings and begun to burn everything it touches.
'Master, sorry... Please don't blame me for using this skill... You've forced me to use it after all!'
-----
Seeing the blazing white flames, the young man's pity towards the young girl suddenly vanished and was replaced with fear. For someone who used and experienced it once, of course, he knew perfectly the effect of using 'that' skill.
"Alicia! Stop! STOP!
I'll cancel the portal, the confinement array and the defensive array immediately! So please! Don't use 'that' skill!"
Knowing the consequences of using 'that' skill, the young man nervously, restlessly and desperately tried to persuade the young girl from using it immediately.
Right now, the young man's calm and composed temperament earlier suddenly vanished into thin air and replaced with fear, concern and desperation.
"Master, do I look like a three year old child...?
And also, I'M ALREADY A G*DD*M*T 21 YEARS OLD!
YOU BASTARD, DO I LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT FOR YOU TO DECIEVE!?"
As if she heard a silly joke, the young girl replied with an angry justifying tone.
Seeing that the young girl have no thought of consideration right now, the young man hurriedly tried to stop the portal and the barrier he built. Sadly, he lack the time needed for the barrier and have no way to stop the portal.
Although the young man had sincere intentions on cancelling everything right now, he can't deny that the portal cannot be cancelled anymore!
Just like a gun that it's trigger have already been pulled, he can't stop the bullet now! Therefore, he indignantly clenched his teeth due to being powerless and watch the young girl helplessly.
Right now, he felt like a prisoner from his own actions and regretted everything. If he only knew that his disciple have already comprehended such dangerous skill, he would have to think other safer method before 'leaving'.
'---A desired outcome can only bear fruit with necessary actions and 'undying resolve'---'
Waking up from his helplessness because of his motto, the young man forcefully cancelled his own defensive array. Although he can't cancel the portal he built anymore, it doesn't mean that he can't open up the defensive barrier and stop his disciple.
...*Spurt*
...*Break* ...*Break*
Spurting out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, the young man looked at the defensive array surrounding him break like a fragile glass. Because of forceful cancellation of a high grade defensive array, the young man received some grave repercussions to a certain extent.
------
Glistening like a miniature moon in the dark night, one big silver crests with peculiar designs that is twice her size suddenly appeared behind the young girl. On top of that big silver crests, another golden crest with peculiar design shines inside it as if it serves as it's core.
At the same time with the big silver crest floated at the young girl's back, her whole surrounding was already engulfed with raging white flames.
...*Crack* ...*Crack*
Oblivious to what is happening around her as she looked at the young man begrudgingly, the pink barrier started to have cracks.
For only several breaths that have passed after the cracks begun, the pink barrier was then burnt into crisps by the white raging flames.
If the young girl have seen how fragile the pink barrier to the blazing white flames, she would be left speechless and spat a large amount of blood from shame. After all, she has spent an hour attacking that barrier but much less a crack, she didn't even able to leave a scratch on it!
...*Crack* ...*Crack*
In her blurry vision, she saw the blue spherical barrier break like a fragile glass. Oblivious to the young man's actions, the young girl smiled, thinking that the blue spherical barrier broke because of her actions.
'Even if I can only manage to use below one percent of it's might, I only hope that it's already enough to stop master---'
Even though the young girl knows the consequences of using this skill with her pitiful condition, she still used it as this is the only idea she came up with at the moment.
If she is lucky, then all the demerit she will receive is a severely damaged meridians, profound veins and a lose of cultivation.
As for the worst, she will most likely lose her life directly on spot without even finishing her attack.
With such kind of transaction for power, her resolve is obvious that is as clear as day!
'--- I've already lost my mother because I'm powerless at that time... This time... This time for sure! Master, even if I die... I can't lose you as well!
If you think that I lack resolve... Then I'll show you---'
Right now, all that occupies within her mind is to prove her resolve and to stop her master!
Being clad with white flames, the young girl's left hand suddenly shone with dazzling silver light. Without herself knowing, tear after tear came out from her eyes until it gushed out like a broken dam.
'---That I do---'
Reminiscing a lot of things especially the happy times she spent with her master, she suddenly became even more resolute on using 'that' skill.
At the back of her left hand, a glowing symbol 'XI' shone brilliantly. Along with the 'symbol' on her hand, her strength have risen to some extent.
Sadly, the young man didn't see the 'mark' on her left hand because of the raging white flames covering the young girl.
'---POSSESS THE RESOLVE AND DEVOTION YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!'
As if she's an angel who descended on earth with her white hair, white gorgeous dress, silver eyes, a big silver crest behind her and clad with white flames, she raised her giant axe that is contrasting to her majestic appearance and executed her move.
"Essential Arts: Nine Suns---"
-------
Hoping that Alicia might stop at the crucial moment, the young man tried to squeeze out every air and cells within his lungs until his voice turn hoarse and shouted with restlessness and anxiousness.
"ALICIA!!! STOP!!!"
Sadly, the young girl pretended not to hear the young man. In fact, she can barely hear at her current condition. Adding that her focus is entirely on 'destroying' the 'inscription on the ground' that the young man is standing on, she continued her assault.
Seeing that his attempt is useless, the young man was left with no choice and prepared to confront the young girl.
"YOU'RE REALLY A BIG IDIOT!!!"
"---Burning Core!"
As if oblivious to how dangerous the raging white flames are, the young man faced it head on and tried to reach the young girl immediately as soon as possible.
'---Please make it in time!
Nine Suns Burning Core is an Offensive Essential Art... Which means... I can 'only' counter it with a Defensive Essential Art---' With that in thought, the young man ran towards the young girl with a grim expression.
'Essential Art: Resplendent Moondust!'
Clad with shining gray dusts all over his body, the young man tackled the raging white flames head on as if it was nothing.
...*Ning* ...*Ning*
Coincidentally, the ground below the young man glew again with an even more dazzling azure light.
'Just a little more!!!---' is what both of them thought at the same time.
...*Ning* ...*Ning*
Just as he reach out his hand to the young girl, the young man turned into blue particles and vanished into thin air.
Before the young man vanish into blue particles, he saw his disciple that have shedding tears towards him. Seeing those tears, the pain he felt within his heart magnified.
Simultaneously, the young girl saw the young man with blood dripping from his mouth. Seeing the glittering gray dusts all over his body and the young man's eyes that is full of concern, she unconsciously stopped weeping because of bewilderment.
Her entirety then froze as her eyes opened wide. After all, she never saw his master show concern to anyone! Knowing that the young man also used an Essential Art to reach her on his own initiative and the consequences of using it, her uneasy heart suddenly felt warmed all of a sudden.
Before she passed out, she thought gladly 'Di-did... I... finally... made it... this time...?'
...*Blaze* ...*Blaze*
Oblivious to the destructive force of her skill, the raging white flames ran out of control after she passed out. Those remnant raging white flames then burnt everything within her surroundings including the ground with inscriptions immediately without delay.
At the center of the raging white flames, the young girl is currently lying down with her face on the ground. Her vitality and cultivation is currently decreasing in an alarming rate, leading her signs of life diminish in every moment that passes by.
Just as her life essence were about to die, the 'symbol' on her left hand suddenly shone again brilliantly. With a symbol 'XI' shone at her left hand, her vitality suddenly risen in an alarming rate.
------
"A-ah Wh-where am I...?"
Below in a steep cliff of who knows where, a young man that is about 16-17 years old with black hair and black eyes is currently lying down.
Dressed up with simple blue robes, his looks are just like your everyday neighbors. Neither handsome nor ugly.
AH!
When the young man tried to move his body, he suddenly felt an excruciating pain all over his body.
'Wha-what is this flower...?'
Holding a piece of flower, the young man is bewildered why is he holding it tightly. Adding that his body is covered with wounds and few broken bones, he is perplexed just what happened.
'Di-did I fall from this cliff?'
Seeing a very tall cliff with him lying on the ground, he speculated that he must have been at the top of the cliff and fell.
AH!
Once again, the young man felt an excruciating pain. But this time, it's not his body that is aching but his head.
Just like an enormous amount of water poured into a fragile little cup forcefully, the young man felt like his head might explode in any moment due to pressure.
Countless memories then emerged from his mind for an entire minute before easing up.
Opening up his eyes as if he just undergone an enlightenment, he asked himself.
'I should have created a one time portal with the idea of crossing over world's boundary but...
Why did I suddenly reincarnated...?
Did I perhaps made a mistake...?
Impossible! I've done the instructions precisely as what was instructed in the book!
It's also impossible that the book that came from master is a defective product---
Eh...?
Did I had a master...?'
As if he was struck by lightning, the young man froze as he just realized something is amiss.
"Wait a minute... Ah! Alicia! Right, Alicia! How is she right now!?
That idiot! How could she use Essential Art---
Eh...? Who is... Alicia...? She should be my disciple...
Huh...? I have a disciple...?
Wait a minute... Eh...?'
The young man then realized that the more he tried to recall something, the more memories he lose. But his theory is immediately proven that it's wrong the next after.
In just a few minutes, he totally forget everything 'once again'.
