บท 8: Chapter Eight
The lifeless body of Wang Wei was in her grasp dangling in the air. "No matter what you say, I won't be swayed by your words specially the pity that your eyes showed me, for I will do everything to avenge my fallen brethren!" muttered Vritra to herself.
Up until today since the Silver King saved them, not single one could fall asleep. Every time they closed their eyes the repeated massacre hunts them, reminding them not to forget. And one day when they tried meditating by practicing the God's Art the recurring nightmare lessened a bit. And the speed they cultivate was extremely fast.
The Silver King didn't left and was observing the Void Dragon tribe from the distance and was shocked by how they cultivate continuously without rest. The Silver King sighed helplessly because the support he can provide was limited. And the problem they have is best solved by themselves. Since the Void Dragon tribe settles down without problems, he disappeared silently.
However Vritra who now realize the biggest flaw she had was now paralyzed and was contemplating how to solve it.
"Forget it, I can only find an opportunity in the future" she thought helplessly. Looking around he saw the mess she created and was worried that they will come and find her for it. The vibrant trees were no longer present and the muddy ground transformed into scattered rocks. Not forgetting the river of lava cause by her breath attack.
By canceling her magic the surrounding trees did not return and the affected area became an open field. Finally the door that was blocked by one of the stones was now visible to her. With a leap she arrived in front of the door.
-Eye of Iris-
An azure colored eye appeared above her head it was transparent. Compare to those eyes in the sky hers was like a disfigured glass created by a beginner. A blurry image of a giant hall appeared in her mind. Rocks littered the ground; broken towers can be seen through a hole in the high ceiling, patch of grass was growing in between the tiled floor.
"What is this, ruins?" thought Vritra, every time she increased her focus her stamina was being depleted in alarming rate, she has no choice but to stop. Because of this she didn't notice the five shadows approaching her from behind.
"How was it?"
The sudden voice that appeared behind her sent shivers down her spine, hurriedly turning around she summoned her chaos weapon and ready to confront the strangers in front of her.
"Woah woah easy dragon girl, you're so tense, you need to relax a bit!" said a girl whose towering height loomed above others. Approaching two meters tall her bright and cheery attitude was out of place in this gloomy environment. Wearing an orange battle robe, Vritra felt she was going on an expedition or something.
She also saw four more girls however her sight was focused only to a boy who was smiling at her. Wearing a silver-loose pants, his bare chest even though was not comparable to her Uncle, was toned well shaping his muscles perfectly.
"Your majesty, what are you doing here?" blurted Vritra shockingly "Wait did they saw my poor performance just now?" understanding this Vritra hurriedly kneel with one knee "Forgive me for showing you my poor set of skills your majesty!"
"Now now, there's no need to feel ashamed about it, you just started cultivating and by the way you shouldn't have fought anyone at your level. However the door opening is out of my…expectations" The change in the Silver King's voice felt by the girls, it seems there's someone making trouble to his majesty.
Noticing the tense change in the air the Silver King hurriedly put back his bright smile and reassures the girls again. "Don't worry the Guardians are already looking into it and they should be able to find the cause in a days' time. Now what I want from you Vritra is to assign you a mission! You're already approaching the 2nd realm of God's Art so you need to cultivate your Guardian beast by searching for worlds that are still full of lifeforce and the target world this time is behind those doors" pointing at the wide opened door at Vritra's back he continued. "However you will not be going alone, these five girls are going with you, ladies introduce yourselves"
"Me first me first!" said the girl who approached Vritra sneakily when she was unaware of her surroundings.
"I'm Sol and as you can see I'm from the Monkey King race nice to meet you!" said Sol, from what Vritra sees she has an easy going personality. Monkey King Race, people there has airs that's screaming majestic! They're tall height makes them more dignified. The different hairs that covered half of their bodies were smooth and soft to the touch. Brimming with energy the Monkey King race is one of the experts who prioritize combat.
Wearing a tight fitting robe for easy movements, it prevents unnecessary actions and makes her respond fast. Her slender arms and legs were protected by leather armor for deflecting blunt weapons. Her strong tail was tied to her waist. She's not wearing any type of shoes; the strength produce by her feet was equivalent to her hands.
"N-Nice to meet you too, I'm Vritra from the Void Dragon tribe of the Primordial Dragon race" nodding her head, even though no one can see what expression she's making right now, but the sound coming from her shows that she was slightly respectful, like a new resident meeting their neighbors for the first time.
"Don't mind her on-going attitude, her people are always like that very lively but you can trust her when it comes to combat, I'm Sylvia by the way" said a smiling girl who has the same height as her but Vritra felt that this woman was shrewd and full of schemes.
She wore a black dress that has lotus flowers design glinting with purple light. Her beautiful gray hair reaches the back of her shoulders adding a black bowler hat, emitting a noble lady's air. Her dress only reaches above knee level, showing off her slender legs.
Nodding her head, Vritra felt that this person is very difficult to deal with. Seeing the two pairs of white feathery wings on her back, shows that she's from the Celestial race; on what tribe, Vritra doesn't know.
"U-umm, hello I'm Lilith from the Blood fairy tribe of the Celestial race" greeted the smallest from the group, a girl of the age of twelve or thirteen years. She wore a dress the same as Silvia but hers was bright green in color, her shoulder length green curly hair only increases her innocent appearance. It makes you want to protect her.
However when Vritra heard the Blood fairy tribe, she can't help but feel chills all over her body. The Blood fairy tribe is his majesty's royal guard! Experts in the field of gathering information and assassination these people are always hiding in the dark following his majesty's orders.
"D-don't misunderstand, i-im different from my family! I hate killing people, that's why…" tears were coming out of her eyes and looked intently at Vritra. Vritra's aura spiked a little when she heard where she comes from.
Seeing Lilith's teary eye, Vritra don't know how to respond! She could only stand there unmoving waiting for something to happen then turned mute. "Does this girl wants me to apologize or something?" thought Vritra.
"Her physical combat whether using weapons or not, is number one in the younger generation, right?" said Sol who was poking the teary-eyed Lilith.
Lilith hurried hugged another female while avoiding Sol's fingers from poking her bulging cheeks.
"There there, you know your family already agreed to you that you can whatever you want right? Even his majesty approves of it" said a slightly taller girl than Vritra. Wearing armor from shoulder to toe, she was like a knight serving a royal family. With her crimson cloak folded on one side, a phoenix with a majestic appearance can clearly be seen sewn on it.
"Big sister Scarlet, Big sister Sol is bullying me!" hugging the armored girl, Lilith felt pain instead of comfort instead. "Ouch!"
"As you've heard I'm Scarlet, Vermillion Scarlet of Vermillion Phoenix tribe of the Primordial Phoenix race, and according to his majesty I'll be the one leading this expedition to the other world" said Scarlet with smile while patting Lilith on the back, evident on Lilith's face that she was in pain.
Now that she knows the rest of the girls, the last one was struggling to approach her and was sweating bullets. Looking at the last female of the group, Vritra suddenly released her bloodlust.
"What is a human doing here?" said Vritra in a cold tone. Slowly approaching the human female but was stopped by Scarlet instead.
"Why?" said Vritra confusingly.
"You need to hear her first" said Scarlet while standing in between Vritra and the human girl.
"I-I'm Zhang Min and you're right I'm human, actually you already saw me, as the one who was holding the sealing formation array that stopped you from moving" said Zhang Min with a pale face. Her heart was pounding loudly from nervousness, if not for the mission she was given to the Silver King she would already be dead long ago.
"I-I'm here as your g-guide and to provide information related to my world, and in turn I was allowed to learn God's Art from his majesty" said Zhang Min.
"There you have it, we need her to babysit us in the other side to make our life there easier" said Sol who was not worried a bit.
"For now" said Vritra coldy. "And? When do we leave leader?"
"Right now, we don't have time to waste" said Scarlet eagerly who was beaming with happiness. Arriving at the door, Scarlet was in the lead followed by Zhang Min, Vritra, Lilith, Sol and lastly Sylvia, the team that would change the fate on the other side charged ahead.
Zhang Min who was strong-willed, called a genius in the sect was now sandwiched with beauties that can start war on the other side. "How did this happen?"
Sometime ago when Zhang Min was separated, she felt pain seeing her teammates didn't notice her disappearance. A spike glinted with silver menacingly stabbed towards her direction! "No! I can't make it!" The thought of no one will notice her, the pain that of being left behind delayed her thought process for a second. But in a dangerous situation those seconds can decide life and death. Closing her eyes she silently waited for the death's embrace.
She felt a gentle breeze and the pain of being stabbed through didn't arrive. Opening her fluttering eyes, she was greeted by a silver-haired youth with perfectly carved handsome face was smiling at her. She was taken by his silvery eyes that can see through any veil and felt herself naked in front of this youth.
Confused, she glance at her surroundings and with difficulty she asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm called the Silver King, and I can give you something you truly want…"
