Somewhere on an island, a small child with black hair and emotionless dark blue eyes was walking.
He looked at his small hands before looking around; he knew this place. This was an island prison; different rules applied here.
This island was filled with criminal magicians; if you lose focus here, then you might die.
Suddenly, he felt a change in the surrounding in the next moment he was standing in from of a corpse with blood splashed over his face and hands.
His pupils dilated, beads of sweat appeared on his face, he felt his body shaking.
Morning,
Tatsuya opened his eyes; the clothes he was wearing were wet with sweat. Tatsuya rubbed his eyes, 'What was that?' the way things happened were different from how they really happened.
He did go to that island; he did kill the magician, he didn't feel anything like that after his first kill. He was not capable of such emotions.
Tatsuya took a deep breath before using soul force to dry his clothes. He looked at Duan Jian, who was still sleeping, and went out.
The sky was still dark even though it was morning; this was a cold and dark place.
A figure closely hugged him from behind, "Miyuki."
"Tatsuya-sama, I felt strange fluctions."
Tatsuya pulled her in front of him, "Just a bad dream."
Miyuki put her head on his chest, still half asleep, "Onii-sama, I am here."
Tatsuya stroked her back, "Yeah."
"Miyuki."
"Onii-sama?"
"You have grown up," After being thrown here, Miyuki rarely threw tantrums or complained. Which was really different from how she acted when they were on earth. Before he realized she had become reliable.
A smile appeared on Miyuki's lips; she squeezed him while hugging him.
After a while, Ziyun walked out of her tent, yawning with clothes and hair were in disarray.
She looked around, Tatsuya and Miyuki appeared in her sight, looking at them standing there in each other's arms her face turned red, but a smile appeared on her face. Maybe this was the feeling that emerged when you saw something romantic or sweet.
She slowly backtracked her steps and went inside the tent; she didn't want to be the one to disturb them.
Sometime after that, Tatsuya rubbed Miyuki's arm and whispered, "Everyone is awake and waiting to come out of the tent."
Miyuki exhaled, "I know, just for a few more minutes."
Tatsuya kissed her head, closing his eyes, "Ok," he also need this.
A few minutes before they woke up, the teleportation Array that Tatsuya and others used to enter shined again. Seven shadows flashed in the light before seven people appeared on top of the array.
One of them asked in a shocked voice, "where are we?"
They all looked around, surprised as if they didn't expect they would appear here.
One of them pondered and said, "this place should be similar to the heavenly sacred border created by a supreme expert."
"Guji! Guji!" when they were talking, monkey-like creatures that Ziyun and Ning'Er fought appeared again.
One of them shouted, "these are scarlet ghosts, hurry!! we need to get away from here."
They started killing the ghosts while running. They kept running, but the scarlet ghosts kept appearing. Sometimes the scarlet ghosts attacked them but were slashed apart.
They kept running until,
"What the hell is that?!!!" One of them pointed in front. He saw the road in front blocked by gigantic swords that were probably hundreds of meters tall. Tens of swords covered a large area, separating the two sides.
Everyone was shocked, looking at those swords blocking their way, "We need to get across these swords." The orange head boy leading them said.
Some of them flew, some jumped, some helped others get across. When they finally crossed the swords, they sat on the ground, letting out a breath.
These people were from Glory City, Nie Li, Du Ze, Lu Piao, and others. Other than the usual group of six, there was also a beautiful teenage girl with pink hair was with them.
Lu Piao leaned on the sword, "Man, the enemies were really endless. We were lucky we found this barricade."
Du Ze also glanced towards the swords, "The one who wielded swords these big must be really huge."
Xiao Xue nodded, "Yeah, I wonder if there were many of them."
Nie Li touched the different swords, "They are exactly the same."
Lu Piao looked at Nie Li weirdly, "Of course, they all look the same?"
Du Ze frowned; he felt there was something more to Nie Li's words.
Nie Li shook his head, "I mean, they are entirely the same. If they were created, then the person did everything the same way as they did when they made the first sword. Even the environment they created the swords in were the same."
"That's impossible!!" there were always variables; no two weapons were totally the same.
Nie Li nodded, "This is just a guess, but they were created by someone's powers." Not only that, he felt they were too strong. He wasn't sure he could even leave a scratch on them.
A grave expression appeared on everyone's face, "We must be careful while traveling."
In the trees near Mining Area,
Tatsuya and Shen Xiu were standing on the trees looking towards the people who have already started mining.
"Is that girl the target?" she looked towards the girl with brown hair and white wings. She could see the proud expression on her face. Seeing her reminded her of how she was before she met Tatsuya. She looked away.
Tatsuya gazed at the girl before glancing at Shen Xiu, "You are becoming quieter and quieter; is everything fine?."
Shen Xiu observed him before curling her lips, "Why would you care even if something is wrong?"
Tatsuya glanced at her, "Didn't you ask me to take responsibility? I am taking responsibility."
Shen Xiu scoffed and looked away, "I don't need you to take responsibility."
A smile appeared on Tatsuya's face, "I am glad there is still some fire left in you."
Shen Xiu stomped her foot on the branch and shot towards the white-winged girl. Right after she jumped away, the bough under Tatsuya's feet broke into pieces.
Tatsuya directly used flight to keep floating in the air. He glanced at Shen Xiu, who had punched the girl hard in the stomach. She silently picked the fainted girl and was standing on the other tree.
He floated towards her before shaking his head, "Now we would have to wait for her to wake up."
Shen Xiu gazed at him with satire filling her eyes; she used her soul force to shake the girl completely to wake her up.
Tatsuya rubbed his forehead, "You don't have to take out my irritation on her."
Shen Xie didn't say anything just looked away after throwing the girl in front of him.
The girl also woke up; she felt her whole body was in pain. Before fainting, she only saw a woman with red hair appear in front of her and attacking her. When she looked up, she saw a boy around her age, sitting in front of her.
"Who are you!!! Do you know who I am??!!!" A cold light flashed in her eyes.
Tatsuya took out a yellowish-golden stone from his ring, "Have you seen stones like these?"
The girl looked at the stone. She had seen a few like that, but she didn't say anything.
Shen Xiu used her soul force to shake her internals again, "Answer the question!"
The girl spat blood; she grounded her teeth but still kept her mouth shut.
Shen Xiu knitted her brows; when she was about to attack again. Tatsuya stopped her, "Are you angry because she is not answering? or is it because she is so much like you?"
Shen Xiu's soul force went wild after hearing that; she glared at Tatsuya with anger in her eyes. She hastily controlled it, she knew her soul force must have given their location away.
Tatsuya stood up before pulling her closer, "We need to leave; your soul force must have attracted everyone."
Shen Xiu glared at him before looking at the girl, "What about her?"
"Leave her be."
The girl looked at them with blurry eyes before she fainted again. Shen Xiu's soul force also affected her.
Shortly, few guards appeared, "Lady Hongyue!!!"
Far away, Tatsuya and Shen Xiu were standing, Shen Xiu had calmed down.
"You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Shen Xiu realized that he provoked her on purpose.
Tatsuya accepted, "Yes."
She turned around, wanting to slap him for manipulating her like that, but he caught her hand, "You are overreacting."
Anger appeared in Shen Xiu's eyes before she let out a breath, "Fine" she pulled her hand away before running off in the direction of the trading town.
Tatsuya held his head, 'This is becoming more and more troublesome.' He knew why she was so angry, she probably thought that he didn't trust her enough to tell her the whole plan. But, he had something else on his mind.
In the last few days, his violent tendencies had severely increased. Especially the dream in the morning, his mind was becoming a mess.
'I need to take care of this before a split personality or something like that is born.'
His desires like; anger, lust, hate, greed, madness; was slowly started to overwhelm his reasoning.
Taking a deep breath, he looked towards the girl surrounded by the guards before leaving.
