章 28: A Glimpse In Time
As Ryūsei, Catherine, Jikan and Ryūshi finish up with their little snack break.
They immediately went back to the fencing exercise and like before, Ryūsei got his butt kicked again.
"This is to hard!!!!" Ryūsei complained as he continues to lay on the ground.
"Well there's no easy way to get stronger Ryūsei, Everyone had to train themselves hard to surpass there limits" Ryūshi happily said as he helps Ryūsei to get up.
"Even you guys??" Ryūsei asked. Ryūshi then smiled and said "Yup even us, We trained ourselves to the limit like this in order for us to use our Crowned Gear".
"Crowned Gear???" Ryūsei then asked "What's that" He added as he's still new to this Crowned Dragon thing.
"Our Crowned Gears are what you call our Elemental Weapons, The only difference is that the Crowned Gears were crafted by us using a fragment of our Legendary Dragons." Jikan replied. "The Dragon King's Blade is an example of a Crowned Gear" Jikan added.
"We don't normally use our Crowned Gears due to the drawbacks of it" Ryūshi muttered as he scratch his head.
"Drawbacks???" Ryūsei asked. "Try holding the Dragon King's Blade and see for yourself" Jikan then points his fingers to the Dragon King's Blade.
Ryūsei then grabs the sword but nothing happens. "Nothing happened, Are you sure this thing isn't busted." Ryūsei asked.
"Try removing the scabbard" Jikan replied as he continues to lay on the grass. "Wait Ryūsei!!! Don't remove the scabbard!!!" Ryūshi shouted but unfortunately Ryūsei didn't listen.
Ryūsei then removed the scabbard and the moment he does he immediately felt light headed. And suddenly he fainted.
"Grandpa!!!!" Catherine shouted as he then rushes to Ryūsei. "Jikan!!! Why did you told him that" Ryūshi then glares at Jikan.
"You don't have to worry Catherine, He just fainted from Fatigue" Ryūshi said as he then heals Ryūsei. "Just let him get some rest"
"Oh by the way, There's something you should know" Jikan then slowly gets up and approaches near Ryūshi.
"What is it??" Ryūshi asked. "It's about the Corrupted Elementalist, After the Fallen God attacked, I suddenly sense the presence of the Corrupted Elementalist in a glimpse before it disappeared again" Jikan replied.
"Where did you sense it" Ryūshi asked as he then suddenly created a map of the entire Elemental World.
"Here in the boarder between the Kingdom of Ryūgū and the Western Temple, The Llanto Hills" Jikan then slowly goes back to the grass area to lay down.
"What should we do then??" Ryūshi asked. "We should strike now, As early as possible" Jikan replied.
"I don't know how long I can keep the timeline from changing" Jikan added as both Ryūshi and Catherine were shocked.
"So that explains why your mana keeps on decreasing each day" Ryūshi then slowly approaches Ryūsei. "How long can you keep the timeline at bay??" Ryūshi asked as he then suddenly heals Ryūsei and he slowly wakes up.
"What happened??" Ryūsei asked.
"You fainted from fatigue, I wasn't supposed to heal you for you to learn your lesson of not rushing training but circumstances have suddenly changed" Ryūshi replied.
"Grandpa, They've tracked down my classmate..... Chad" Catherine saddly said.
"Is there something bothering you Catherine??" Ryūsei asked as he noticed that Catherine wasn't smiling like she used to.
Ryūshi then said "Ryūsei.... I think you should also know". "Know what???" Ryūsei asked as he didn't know what's going on. "Did something happen when I was passed out??" He continually asked.
"Ryūsei, The Timeline has began to change drastically, But thanks to Jikan continually restoring it back to the way it was before, If we don't do something the future might change." Before Ryūsei can react to what Ryūshi just said, Jikan suddenly got up with him out of breath.
"Jikan!!!!" Ryūshi shouted as he rushes over to Jikan. Ryūsei was about to go near Jikan to see what's happening when he suddenly heard Catherine screaming. "Grandpa!!!" She screamed.
Ryūsei then looks behind him and he was then shocked on what he saw....
Catherine was slowly fading away.
"Time Dragon Continuum Restore"
Jikan then casted a spell and Catherine then stop fading.
"There... that should keep the timeline at bay for the moment" Jikan said as he was exhausted.
Catherine then began to cry and Ryūsei hugged her. "Hey... hey, Don't be scared I promise we'll fixed this so don't cry now.... You won't disappear" Ryūsei then comforts Catherine.
"Ryūshi, Please open up a warp gate let's return back to the Kingdom" Ryūsei said. "Before that, Conceal the sword first" Ryūshi said as he gives Ryūsei The Dragon King's Blade.
"Conceal???" Ryūsei asked. "The Dragon King's Blade has already an enchantment around it in which if you conceal it, It'll turn into a ring" Ryūshi replied.
"Just say these words, "Dragon King Secret Art: King's Blade Conceal" Ryūshi said and once he did Ryūsei said the exact same words and it suddenly turned in a black ring with a blue dragon crest at the top.
"And for you to turn it back into a sword, Just say "Dragon King Secret Art: King's Blade Release" Ryūshi added.
After Ryūsei concealing the blade and putting the black ring on his finger they walked over to the Quartz Bridge and once they crossed it Ryūshi created a warp gate and they returned back to the castle.
They were inside the room where the Fallen God recently attack. Ryūsei then looked at the clock nearby and it was already 1 am.
They immediately went to Ryūsei's room to pack up some stuff for the journey.
"The Corrupted Elementalist is located in the Llanto Hills" Ryūshi said as Ryūsei finishes packing up his stuff.
"We should move out now-" Ryūsei said before he was cut with a familiar voice behind them.
"And where do you think you're going??"
Ryūsei then turns around and he saw Yuki, Kayosha, Kasai and Sora.
"Y-Y-Yuki....y--y-y-you're still awake" Ryūsei said as he was shivering in fear.
"We were just in the hallway when we suddenly saw you guys so we decided to follow you" Sora said.
"Now Ryūsei, Answer my question where are you going" Yuki asked as the room around them began to feel cold and frost started to appear on the windows.
"Catherine help me" Ryūsei quietly mumbles as he turns around seeing Catherine hiding behind him.
"Sorry Grandpa.... I'm too young to die...." Catherine quietly mumbles as she continues to hide behind Ryūsei.
"These two Ryūgū's are alike, Like Grandfather, Father and Daughter..... Nothing still changes" Jikan thought as he both looks at Ryūsei and Catherine.
Ryūsei then explain to Yuki what happened except for the part that Catherine almost faded away from existence.
"Then let us help, The Grand Shōtotsu is still a couple of days away anyway" Kasai asked as he was excited to go out and fight.
They immediately pack up there stuff and headed out, Kayosha decided to stay behind to let Shadow and Shizen know what happened.
They all travelled through the night and it was around 7 am where they decided to stop by a nearby lake to rest and relax a little. And by the time it was 10am they continued to travel once again and by the time it was 5pm they arrived at the Village of Llanto.
Once arriving at the village they immediately went out to look for a inn where they rented Two rooms, One for the boys and one for the girls.
Once they arrive in there rooms, Jikan decided to sleep immedietly as he was exhausted from continuesly keeping the timeline at bay, Ryūsei and Ryūshi went outside the inn to look around and ask anyone if they saw something weird going on, Catherine and Yuki went to the buffet to eat and for Kasai and Sora they just talked.
Ryūshi and Ryūsei went around the town but sadly no one had report seeing anything weird lately so decided to head back but before that they went to a nearby blacksmith and Ryūshi bought a sword.
"Hey Ryūshi, I'mma ask but why did you bought a sword??" Ryūsei asked as he was confused. "Can't you just make one" He added.
"Well I can't use my Elemental Art as it could be imitated by the Corrupted Elementalist" Ryūshi replied. "So I'll have to rely on basic hand to hand combat" He added.
"But why'd you buy a sword when you can just make one??" Ryūsei asked.
But before Ryūshi could even reply they were at the inn already and they meet up with the others to go eat at the buffet except for Jikan who was still in their room sleeping.
After they've eaten Ryūsei and Ryūshi decided to go outside the inn to patrol once again with Catherine coming along while the others returned back to the rooms.
Ryūsei, Catherine and Ryūshi then decided to go to the forest since there hasn't been much going on inside the town.
"The town was quite peaceful tonight" Ryūshi said as they continue to walk the mountains.
"Yeah, Hey can I ask you something??" Ryūsei asked as they continue to walk straight up a set of stone stairs.
"It's about the Quintela, If the Crowned Dragons weren't strong enough to stop her.... And I'm supposed to be the one to end her reign..... What if I can't do it" Ryūsei then began to frown as a tear drops from his eye.
"Ryūsei, I believe you can do it, We Crowned Dragons will gladly risked our lives for your sake" Ryūshi happily said as he tries up to cheer up Ryūsei.
"For now our priority is the Corrupted Elementalist, We don't know for how long Jikan can hold the timeline at bay"
Ryūshi suddenly heard a scream they quickly rush over to the side of the mountain.
They continued to run jumping tree to tree, Dashing from place to place and after a while they arrived where the scream was coming from, An open field hidden between two hills.
Once they arrived they quickly saw the reason behind the screams, It was an Elementalist being attacked by a strange figure.
The strange figure was covered with a purplish black scales that covered it's entire body, It's eyes were black with it's pupils being red as it was the color of blood.
It had black hair with a couple of horns sticking out in the right part of it's head.
It's body was covered with a blackish area at the center of it's chest having a yellowish jewel shape of a broken heart at the center. It's right arm were covered with scales with a few spikes covering it's body.
The strange figure was attacking the helpless Elementalist, It's like it has a mind of its own, It's sworn job is to make people suffer, It had attacked the Elementalist so brutally that one of the Elementalist legs was brutally destroyed as a lot of blood was shed.
The right leg was bad enough but unfortunately the Elementalist was covered in bruises and blood but the strange figure just kept on attacking and attack.
Suddenly a certain voice was heard which made the strange figure stop attacking. "Chad!!! Please stop this" Catherine yelled as tears began to flow her eyes. "This isn't you, Please stop!!!! Don't let the Corruption control you"
She down slowly approaches the Corrupted Elementalist.
With Catherine getting close to him, The Corrupted Elementalist then roared and within a second he didn't hesitate to attack, He swing his right hand as he was about to hit Catherine.
"Catherine!!!! Watch out!!!" Ryūsei yelled as he quickly grabs Catherine before the attack hits.
Luckily Ryūsei manages to rescue Catherine in time as the ground beneath them was shattered.
