14 Sun

Right below the stronghold cliff; Fiora's onslaught was unstoppable at this point.

One swing of her sword, hundreds would die. Two swings of her sword, thousands will die.

She cuts every soldier like livestock, she was a butchered that hunt and plagued every enemy mind.

If she's the embodiment of nightmares to the enemy, she was the Goddess of War in the eyes of the opposite sight. They cheer for their Queen's unstoppable slaughter as they watch on the safe walls.

However, in the next moment, Fiora felt something. She took one step forward and swung her sword upwards to cut a fireball projectile on her.

Boom! Boom!

The background shook instantly and black and red fumes exploded into the atmosphere.

"...So you've come, Brother."

"Of course," Leon answered hovering 15 meters away from her. "Long time no see, for about a months."

"Likewise... So, here I come."

Sigh... Looks like there's no monologue between us.

Inwardly, Leon sigh troubled.

Then in the next moment, Magic and Sword exploded into the area. As both armies watch two of the strongest living creatures in the world fought each other.

...

5 minutes ago...

"Don't tell me..."

I...was...speechless...

That's all I could say for now.

Regaining myself for a moment, I looked at Aqua's eyes questioning and probing look, trying to see if I'm at fault.

"...Are you sure about this? That I'm the father of your children?"

"Wait, are you saying I'm lying to you!?"

"...No, I'm not... It just..."

I'm really lost right now... I don't know how to process this...

"Tell me the truth, Licht, tell me the only truth. Do you know the existence of our children that's why you've visited or you just visited me because you've missed me?"

...Neither...

"So...the latter, huh... That's good to hear."

My silence brought him to assumed that it was the latter. She was glad that even if I don't have responsibility for her to commit I will love her either what's reasoned.

Obviously, I love her, I really do. But I'm not prone to live with her and just watch her life withered slowly while I'm vigorous and healthy and young.

I can't take it... If I do, I might've gone berserk and lost my sanity just like the rest of my siblings.

Slowly pulling her to my embrace, I whispered to her. "Can we...not talk about it for a moment... Please..."

"...Okay... If that what's you want."

Sinking herself into my embrace she hugged me back. But before she could find herself enjoying my warmth she sprung back out of my arms.

"Licht!! The children!!!"

"Don't be a worrywart, promise I will take responsibi-!!"

Before I could finish sentences, I suddenly remembered Aqua's children, Leon and Fiora are in war right now.

After I turned the assassin(Guy) into his puppet, I immediately learned Leon and Fiora situation, Aqua's children which also mine now.

I was quite hurt when I'd learned these facts. My lover has children, and it's not me...

Of course, it was inevitable to happen, and a normal outcome for her after I had left her alone. She deserves to be happy, to someone fill my role on her heart.

But now, I felt relief knowing that I was the father. I am very glad, very-very glad.

Actually, my clone was, as of the moment, watching the battle unfold between them.

Out of nowhere, there's this feeling of Fatherly feelings inside me. And it was screaming to straighten my children and discipline them to not hurt and respect each other.

Fatherly feelings are not a foreign emotion to me. In my whole life now, I have already adopted hundreds of children throughout my journey.

And it might have the best memories I have along with my lovers. As I watched them grow and be independent.

Nothing beats that feeling.

But this time it was different. This! This time, it was my own flesh and blood!

Without idling around, I controlled my clone to stop my children from hurting each other. My clone should be enough to stop them.

Exerting the limits of my clone, its influx of Mana exploded, garnering all the soldier's attention of both side, Leon and Fiora also too stop their fracas.

Instantaneously, I controlled my clone to appeared in front of my Son and dragged him there out of reach of my Daughter.

However, before I could put my hand on my Son, a figure appeared in front of him.

"A clone?" He's hostile. "Who are you!?"

I have no time to waste my attention on him, I need to separate my children from each other.

Controlling the clone, I attempt to put some weight on him and disregard him to the side but not killing him.

But out of all of my expectations, he was an Immortal too!!

"Not answering, huh?" He said self-deprecating. "Then turn to dust, [Blaze!]"

His body exploded in inconceivable heat that only Immortal could muster.

Reinforcing my clone defense to stand the heat, it glows its light, and as if its light has a physical body it clashed with his fire.

The clash between our aura exploded exponentially in a matter of time. To the point, Leon and Fiora my children almost flew away because of the wind.

Fortunately, they are quite a thinker and let themselves be carried by wind and put some distance with us.

Now, I don't need to worry about their safety and focus on subjugating this unknown Immortal.

My clone extended its hand and grasp something into the air and a manifestation of light-saber appeared.

"Ho... So you wanted to close-quarter-combat. I'll take you on!"

The Unknown Immortal also manifest a blade made out of flames.

Then he charges at me.

He swung his sword-flame at my clone but I controlled it to deflect it with relative ease. Projecting his swing to the ground, the earth shook, and the ground explodes like a volcano.

In an instant, I immediately concluded that my clone would not fair with his strengths, I need a decisive moment to finish him off.

I was trying to minimize the casualties in the surrounding that's why I'm not still switching places with my clone to confront this Unknown Immortal.

If I did so, this world might be destroyed by our sheer power. I was avoiding that aftermath.

Another swing came at my clone to the side which my clone blocks, again and again.

The force behind his swing would constantly explode at the back of my clone, disseminating every life, even the oxygen.

He's clearly not adept on blades, that I can tell. Which is good.

Then, another swing came downwards, attempting to hack my clone to two.

Now!

Seeing the opportunity, I controlled my clone to dodge the blade side-way.

I'm certain at this point that I can't catch this Immortal alive using only my clone, so I aim for his vital!

My clone arms swiftly positioned its saber towards the Immortal neck and thrust it forwards in just two moves.

However, out of nowhere, a black chains bind my clone, restraining it to move.

Seeing the opportunity, the Unknown Immortal regained his stance once again and slash at my clone, dissipating it to nothing.

My clone loss... It seems I need to show myself to subjugate the Immortal.

But before I could excuse myself to Aqua, I heard the Unknown Immortal conversation towards the unknown bind who restrain my clone. My son, Leon!!

My face darkened, and I was emitting cold throughout the room... I'm livid!

Then I muttered, "[Light]: Eye of the Sun!"

...

"Wheww~ Thanks kiddo. If not for your interference, I might probably a cold corpse now."

I thank, Leon, the one I was manipulating in accordance with what my task says.

"...Master... who was that?"

He inquired about what just happened awkwardly for calling me, Master.

Yes. I did tell him to call me Master when we're public, which is it now, as his sister was nearby.

"Well that, is an Immortal."

There's no wrong telling him that information. After all, he already knew that I was an Immortal too.

And I was already guessing that this young man, Leon would probably be recruited by General and joined our rank in "Immortal Federation", hence why I was here maybe to evaluate him.

But the thing is that plaguing my mind if I'm going to evaluate him, why need these all conspiracy.

But I should probably not dwell on that matter for now. Now that an Unknown Immortal appeared on this planet is trouble.

I need to eliminate it as soon as possible. And it seems I need back-up to accomplish that.

Sigh... Waiting for the man who will stop Leon from this war is already troublesome and now I need to eliminate a strong Unknown Immortal who controlled light-puppet also...

I bloody hell got raise after these!

Before that, I probably stop this pointless war for now as I hunt this Immortal.

But-

"Leon, stop the army for now-!!!"

The warmth bright of the sun in the sky became brighter than it ever had.

And I am having a premonition... And it is not good!!

...

Happy 15k words for me!!! ☺
