Chapter 99: For God's sake!! II
...........
Nanda Parbat is a hidden city nestled high in the mountains of Tibet in china; it is said to be a place of healing and enlightenment watched over by the goddess-like figure Rama Kushna and her monks.
The city was Ian's target or his destination. He came in peace with no intention to fight, so surely nothing bad will happen.
The private jet took them to the closest airport to the place. A portion of the way was traveled by an off-road car, but they still reached a steep hill, and grounds that couldn't be traveled by car.
"Ian, can we walk for a bit? Please, I want us to walk along with nature." With her emerald puppy eyes, Ivy bugged cutely. She was truly like a child in nature.
"Sure, that sounds like fun. What do you think?" Ian shrugged his shoulders, not minding it much, but he still asked the two other companions.
"I wanna reach the place soon, but I can afford to wait." Raven also didn't mind.
"A picnic? Sure, why not."
And an interesting picnic it was, mostly with the group following after Ivy as she bounced around and looked at the diverse plant life of the mountains.
Her passion was equally reciprocated by nature as flowers and trees alike danced in her presence.
It was all the effect of her extremely potent powers which have become incredibly strong in the last month. Ian did put a lot more focus on intimate training sessions as of recently.
"I really want to live in a place like this..." Ivy softly murmured, her gorgeous red hair drifting in the air due to the mountain's sweet breeze.
"So do I. It's peaceful, isolated, and perfect for misdirecting blame." Ian agreed though his view was not as pure as her.
"I can make the place poisonous for everyone but us, a death zone which no human can set foot within." His words got her into character, her thoughts becoming extreme.
"Oh? Are we not humans?" Selina asked, seemingly amused.
"Hm? No, you have his mark... Why do you think I became okay with you touching him?" Ivy took the question too seriously as she observed Raven next, "You, on the other hand..."
"Calm down." Ian shook his head as he walked up to Ivy, hugging her to help her regain her composure. It was a very odd phenomenon about her, she sometimes becomes way too emotional, but a hug was always enough to soothe whatever it is that was brewing within her.
"His mark? And what do you mean you allowed me? I think I must've misheard things. You must've said I allowed you, right?"
Ivy's response was just sticking her tongue out before hugging Ian tighter though the latter noticed things were getting heated, so he performed the art of distractions. It's an art that's useful in any field. It's a way of life, I dare say.
"It's getting cold. It will be sunset soon, so let's move." He then let Ivy go and pulled Selina into his embrace, "Let's fly, shall we?"
Selina let out a giggle before also sticking her tongue out at Ivy, much to the latter's annoyance, "Hmph, you only get to do that because you're a weak bitch! You always pass out before me anyway."
She expected Selina to get angry, but strangely, a smirk emerged on her face. She didn't answer but just hugged Ian tighter, her legs wrapped around his waist in a very intimate pose.
She just let Ivy's brain rot with curiosity, but that didn't last alone as she moved, and so did the plants, the leaves, and the bushes. They all moved, flying around her like a hurricane, one that soon settled down, leaving Ivy with two colossal green wings on her back.
Another person with a smirk was Raven. She was used to their antics by now, so she didn't pay much attention to them. Her focus was elsewhere, "Another race? Who knows, you might just win this time around."
She was gloating while soaring into the sky, her purple energy spinning wildly around her.
"So silly," Ian let out a chuckle, his life force already in motion. In an instant, a pair of massive wings spurted from his back, inducing a gush of wind around him.
"She is adorable, isn't she? She's faster than you though," Selina laughed and added, "But I guess that won't be for long?"
Ian raised his brows at her, surprised she noticed, "Yeah, it won't be for long."
His feet lightly tapped on the ground, seemingly trying to jump with no force whatsoever. His jump was unsuccessful because what took place wasn't a jump, but a zoom into the skies.
He reached the moving clouds in a matter of a minute or so before rotating mid-air, making sure to hold Selina tightly.
His vast wings flapped once, and that was enough to leave a blast of wind behind him, flying directly towards his destination.
His flying speed was roughly the same as Ivy though he can fly much faster. The problem was how much air pressure he and Selina can handle, so he stayed within his limits.
At some point, the scenery changed. Instead of the greenery of the jungle, there was only ice and snow.
The mountains were tall, piercing through the clouds, and somewhere amidst them was his destination. His vision soon came upon it, hidden among the mountain tips was the golden city, Nanda Parbat.
Ian was certainly not a rude person. He is in fact so kind that even demons can't help but donate their everything to him, so it wasn't strange for him to land before the gate, expecting a response from the sacred city.
The four uninvited guests didn't have to wait for long before the gate opened. Few monks stood at the gate, signaling for the group to approach.
"To what do we owe the pleasure?" The leading monk spoke in surprisingly fluent English. They aren't as isolated as they seem.
"Ian Rose, an adventurer seeking a place of enlightenment and progress." His bullshiting techniques were superb, immaculate even in the eyes of the enlightened monks.
"We..." The monk strangely remained silent for a second before his expression became more welcoming, "We welcome all who seek peace in here, so you are naturally welcomed. Please follow me."
Things went surprisingly well. They even prepared an entire manor for him with a vast courtyard to go with it! They were generous, befitting of the enlightened.
"You always brag about it, never thought much about it, but You really have a gift for attracting charity," Raven pointed out, rather bewildered.
"Such is the fate of the kind," Ian shrugged, not confused in the least, 'The guardian of the place must've sensed something... Was it perhaps scared of Raven? I am harmless after all. Too bad I didn't have to use what I prepared though.'
He didn't dwell on those thoughts for long. Instead, he pulled out all of the group's stuff from his dimension and gave the girls time to settle down.
"As I told you all before. Times move differently here. My speculation is that two months outside equals two years in here, and that's how long we'll stay.
What we lack most are time and experience, so let's use all our time here to make up for those. A wise man once said that charity arrives at those who await it on its sacred road. The stronger we are, the more roads we can access to."
"I assume that the wise man has a name?" Selina questioned, barely holding back her laugh.
"Of course not. How can he be called a wise man if he wasn't called a wise man?" Absolutely shameless behavior, but an amusing one nonetheless.
Once the girls laughed their hearts out, Ian continued, "We'll spare constantly. We'll fight tooth and nail until exhaustion.
We'll learn and study because knowledge can mean power. We'll contemplate life, diving into the ways of enlightenment because tranquility can alter reality."
His speech was magnificent, vibrant with words of wisdom, but even in wisdom, stupidity thrives. Ian's eyes were laid on Ivy and Selina as he continued, "Most importantly, we'll descend into the depths of debauch... We'll train our bodies in the ways of nature... All for the greater good."
It was really for the greater good. He truly believes that. Now, what greater good are we talking about, that's left for deliberation.
