Chapter 55: Chapter 55: The Fisherman
"Such a valuable resource, yet it is just there in a damned fireplace?!" Shi Fan cried his heart out. Based on his master's explanations that fire is a very important thing that even Emperors will have difficulty in obtaining yet is just used in warming a house. "The owner must be extravagant."
"Ummm.." Cecil who is still looking dazed at Shi Fan who is holding her began speaking as she began poking him with her slender fingers.
"Oh." Shi Fan suddenly was suddenly pulled out when he sensed something is poking at him. He redacted his hand with a slight blush on his cheeks. "Sorry. That fire looks dangerous to touch and we have no idea of its origins I had no choice but to stop you."
"It's...it's fine thank you." Cecil bowed down slowly as she slowly smiled. Despite being beautiful in real life and inside the game no man has ever touched her like that as it's either they are too shy or unable to do so.
Cecil slowly looked at the fireplace and felt a stinging reaction into her eyes. She squinted twice as she looked at the door they just passed as it is slowly opening up.
Shi Fan also noticed the creaking sound of the door and he turned back in response. There was a person that just entered. Wearing a straw hat and putting a bamboo fishing pole in his shoulders he looked at the two individuals inside the small hut.
"Hmm? Who are you both?" the strange person that just entered asked as he began looking at Cecil whose cheeks are ticklish pink. He then shifted his attention to Shi Fan and smiled.
"You're here huh." the strange person continued speaking however Shi Fan noticed that his mouth didn't move a single time when he said that.
"You anticipated my arrival?" Quan Shi who is inside Shi Fan's head began speaking. The latter confused by the mysterious happenings entered his subconscious where his master is located. He was shocked however when he arrived as they are only both of them which is usually talking to one each other yet there is actually another person that is inside and that man is the person who just entered the small hut.
"Of course, Hashmir already told me about it, plus knowing you wouldn't it be strange enough if you didn't come here?" the fisherman began laughing at the ball of fire in front of him.
"Darned old man, I expected him not to talk to anyone about it such a blabbermouth." Quan Shi furiously said.
"And he told me something he forgot to say to you." the fisherman continued on his words with a serious look. "It seems the Light Emperor is on the move."
Quan Shi who is still furiously burning brightly turned silent upon hearing his words. "What?!"
...
Empire of Fleece, Fiefdom of the 3rd East Land, Main Continent
The weak-looking figure covered in white robes began walking towards the gates of the Empire under the moonlit night. Along with other travelers and merchants, he stood in line with patience as he looked towards the guards managing the queue.
He sees several passersby walking past through him as they handed a pouch to the guards managing the gates, several complained of such bribery however they couldn't do anything as the head guard is Rank 7 which is higher Rank than them.
After a few minutes of waiting, he finally got inside the Empire without arousing any suspicion among the guards and he began walking toward the nearest inn. He booked a room and went upstairs. He opened the window with a smiling look. He lifted up his sleeves and held his hands outside the window as several fireflies began forming at his palms and flew away very fast almost at the speed of light and not a single person noticed on what is happening.
Millions of fireflies were needed to cover the expanse of the whole Empire. Yet their actions are so quiet as they didn't release a single speck of light a firefly should.
"Such a beautiful place yet they disgust it." the weak-looking man said as he looked above the crescent moon and to the tall buildings around the inn which is bustling with activities.
"Rank 10: Mass Shield of Everblooming Light"
"Rank 10: Sorrow of the Fireflies"
The weak-looking man spoke of two spells and a purple hexagonal barrier began forming around every person outside with him included with the exception of some.
The next scene would surely make every onlooker's hair stand and cold sweat dripping on their backs as million of fireflies began releasing light.
"What's this?"
"How could you cast a spell?"
"What are those things"
The people around were confused about the sudden appearance of a barrier around them and their confusion added when the entire sky began glowing white as they pointed out to the firefly illuminating the night sky.
"Release" the man slowly said as he closed down the windows he opened. And at that moment, every firefly in every corner of the Empire exploded simultaneously that even the former top of the 60-meter tall walls around the Empire could be touched by a toddler
In just 5 seconds after the explosion, an Empire was flattened to the ground without even knowing who did it nor why they did it. And the only people to survive the explosion are those surrounded by the purple barrier.
The weak-looking man slowly walked towards the Empire "gates" or whatsoever left of it as he inserted both if his hands at the side pockets of his robes. If an Emperor could identify this guy they would really think twice of crossing with him despite the same Rank.
"Rank 10 -Emperor of Light-, Emperor Solace, Level 656"
