1 Prologue - Sansui's Awakening

-- Please take a look at the Auxiliary Volumes. There is a introduction about the current characters, locations and magical abilities --

-- Fanfic starts from chapter 15 of the manga while Eckesachs is talking about the past of Suiboku. --

["Suiboku was an extremely conceited and ambitious man. His personality was such that it was completely unthinkable for him to serve under another."]

'Huh? S-Serve... under another?' Listening to Eckesach who talked about his master, Sansui's face went pale. A pain he never ever felt in his life came up into his brain moving down to his heart.

["No one knows how many countries were destroyed after incurring his wrath!"] Eckesachs kept on talking as Sansui bit his lips and pressed down on his heart.

["Wrath...wrath? AAHHH!"] Sansui screamed out. A scary amount of blood spurted out of his mouth and he was breathing so heavily you could think he fought for his life.

["PAPA!!"]["SANSUI!"]["SANSUI!"] Rain, Dewey and Brow screamed out. Rain started to cry seeing Sansui vomiting blood and Brow immediately went over to lend a hand.

["What happend?][What's going on?] Everyone else looked over with a confused face. They never saw Sansui take a sweat or even wounded which made them even more worried than normal.

But Sansui's heavy breath started to normalize and the color returned to his face. He opened his closed eyes and breathed out a strong gust of Spirit Energy. After checking on himself using his Spirit Sense he gritted his teeth even going so far pressing his nails into his skin from anger. He unconsciously started releasing a pressure which pressed down on everyone around a thousand meters of him.

["PAPA!"]["AHH!"] Rain and everyone started screaming out in pain startling Sansui awake again. He removed the pressure and crouched down to Rain and circulated his Spirit into her to check for any damage.

["I'm sorry Rain, Papa lost himself there for a second. Do not worry I am fine now, I just spat out some bad blood which clogged up inside me when I was training. It is nothing serious."] Sansui smiled at her in hope to calm her down.

["Wait! Something changed about you! You... Before you radiated a calm and friendly presence but now it disappeared. It's like you vanished into air... "] Eckesachs noticed that something changed in Sansui and pointed his finger at him.

[Impressive Eckesachs, you are right. Something on me changed - you must have accumulated a lot of Spiritual Power in your life to notice a little change like that.] Sansui grinned at Eckesachs with a surprisingly kind smile. But the smile that looked so kind that you could confuse with the smile of a long time friend seemed stark in contrast with the chilling pressure that exploded before.

Eckesachs felt a chill going down his spine and his body started to tremble. He knew something was wrong. His instinct was honed for over two thousand years and he knew with whom he could mess and whom he should get away from as far as possible. The last time his instinct told him to run was when he met one of the elders in Suiboku's Sect.

While Eckesachs froze up Sansui slowly walked to the window to take a look at the surroundings. Taking a deep breath he closed his eyes only to open them again while looking at the door of the room.

["Come out right now, it's no use I already now that you are spying on us."] said Sansui in a cold and emotionless tone.

'What!? He found me? I have the cloak of hiding personally granted to me by the princess! Sh*t I need to run!' The dark shadow behind the door thought as he immediately tried to run away. But suddenly he felt a chill on his neck as if the grim reaper was standing behind him. Without hesitation he instantly used his teleportation scroll to escape in to a random direction a thousand meters from him. This scroll was only used for the most important emergencies and it's worth could be weight in gold as it was very hard to create them.

["Hmph!"] Sansui sneered at his escape which he saw using his Spirit Sense. The shadow just had landed out of the portal into the air when he suddenly spat out blood and fell to the ground. The power that attacked him made him realize that he won't escape alive out of this.

["I am sorry my princess. I wish I could at least warn you - shit to think I would die like this..."] With tears in his eyes he decided that there is only one way out of this. Biting down on his lower outer left tooth he released the poison his was hiding for emergencies like this to unwillingly breath his last in this world.

'So he decided to kill himself. That was a real professional, interesting.' Sansui thought and couldn't help himself but smile to that. It sparked emotions inside him like excitement and respect. Finally he was free to use his real power now and explore the exiting world. But then his face turned dark again because of the person who imprisoned him or better said imprisoned his mind in the first place - Suiboku his so called Master.

'You actually forced your believe your understanding of the sage art on me Suiboku making me clown around here. But your believe is not the only way to the top, there are many ways and I will show you soon.' Sansui thought as he looked into the distant mountains.
