The Emergency Quest

["SIR, WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY QUEST INCOMING!]

Stuck there just after he had picked the Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus; Mesa was assaulted by an alarm going off in his head followed afterwards by JARVIS announcing an Emergency Quest.

['JARVIS, what the hell is going on?! What is this Emergency Quest you're talking about?!']

["Sir, an Emergency Quest has just come in.

'What the hell?! Another Infinity Stone! And so soon!' Thought Mesa whose mind was still in turmoil.

["Emergency Quest Starting!"]

And right after that, Mesa noticed that he could move once again. After he had plucked the Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus, he could feel the ground that they were standing on starting to vibrate. Remembering this moment from the story, he knew what would happen next and Put the Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus inside the Sky Poison Pearl.

"We need to leave, right now!" Said Mesa as he grabbed Xia Qingyue in a princess hold and teleported away from there. Reappearing a kilometer away from there, Mesa put down Xia Qingyue and took out the Yamato from the Gate of Babylon and waited. Looking back to where they had plucked the Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus, the ground was still shaking violently. After a while, the ground starts to lift up and break. Apparently, the Emperor Awakening Heart was sitting on top of a lake that was frozen over on top a thirty-meter-thick layer of ice. And now, it was broken like thin sheets of paper and chunks of ice were thrown far away into the sky. And after that, a huge wave of water came barreling out of the formerly frozen lake and towards them. Xia Qingyue had an expression of pure terror on her face and she didn't know what was going on. All she knew is that, whatever broke out of the ice was something of unprecedented power.

Taking quick action, Mesa thrust out his right hand and calls forth his flying mount: "Come out Articuno!"

With the swallow tattoo on the back of his right hand momentarily glowing in an icy blue color, Articuno comes out and appears before them. Grabbing Xia Qingyue around her waist with his right arm, Mesa jumps the both of them on top of Articuno before they fly off into the sky and evade the wave of water that came towards them. And then out of the water, an incredibly huge figure rises up out of the water and leapt a hundred feet into the air, coming down with a world shaking sound.

AWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

A terrifying roar sounded out of the mouth of the huge figure that came out of the water. This figure was an enormous beast. It was around three hundred meters tall and white hair covered its entire body. It had a humanlike body and a vicious wolf like head with scarlet red eyes and clawed hands. The aura that it released put it at the early stage Tyrant Profound Realm. Xia Qingyue was tightly clinging on to Mesa, her mind completely engulfed in fear and unable to think any further.

(A.N.: Basically a giant ass werewolf)

In between two icy mountains, Ling Yuefeng finally found his first reward from an ancient forest that wasn't completely covered in ice and snow. Just as he was about to pluck a pitch black Reishi, the sound of a profound beast suddenly echoed from the distance. The place it came from was very far away, so the sound wasn't very loud, but it shook Ling Yuefeng's entire body. His face showed a shocked expression and he was trembling hearing this roar that originated from faraway.

"This is… this is… the power of a Tyrant Profound Beast!!" Ling Yuefeng looked in the distance and an uncontrollable fear loomed over his face.

"Inside the Heaven Basin Secret Realm, there was actually a Tyrant Profound Beast… Wait! This cry is filled with anger! Could it be that someone stepped into its territory or provoked it?"

While thinking about these things, Ling Yuefeng's expression kept changing. The power that this sound contained could send him, a Throne, into deep fear. He felt that the owner of this sound could destroy him effortlessly. Tyrant Profound Realm... a level never before seen in Blue Wind Empire. It was a level that they could not comprehend and imagine.

The person who offended this Tyrant Profound Beast, he would instantly turn into dust. It was impossible for there to be a second outcome.

Ling Yuefeng subconsciously took two steps back and then flew towards that roar in the distance. Right now, he could only pray that the ones who offended this terrifying Tyrant Profound Beast wasn't a part of his Heavenly Sword Villa.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Mesa, what is going on?! Where did that Tyrant Profound Beast come from?! And how did you guys provoke it?!" Asked Jasmine in distress. She and Ophis were relaxing inside the Sky Poison Pearl and watching a movie until they heard the roar from the Tyrant Profound Beast and looked outside and saw a huge and angry beast.

"We found this treasure and suddenly I got an emergency quest from JARVIS saying that there would be an onslaught of monsters coming that I have to take out! You and Ophis stay in there and don't help me out! I can earn a second Infinity Stone if I complete this emergency quest, but only if you two don't help me out!" Said Mesa quickly as he used the shadow clone jutsu to summon five clones.

"Alright boys, here's the plan! You four go out and set up a barrier and make sure NO ONE can come in! I want this barrier to have a radius of at least a thousand kilometers!" Said Mesa as four of the clones took off in all four wind directions.

Looking at the last remaining clone, Mesa gave him his orders: "You stay here on Articuno and keep Qingyue here safe! I am gonna go down and take care of this!"

Wriggling himself free from Xia Qingyue's grip, Mesa prepared himself to drop down and take out this Tyrant Profound Beast, until Xia Qingyue held on to him again: "Mesa! Don't go! We have to get out of here now!"

"Don't you worry about a thing love. I'll make sure we get out of this alive." Said Mesa while smiling at her and patting her on the head. Gently grabbing on to her chin, he gently pulls her face towards his and plants a kiss on her lips.

Opening her eyes in shock. Xia Qingyue, whose mind was a chaotic mess, first due to a Tyrant Profound Beast suddenly showing up and now because Mesa has just taken her first kiss. Separating their lips from each other, Xia Qingyue still hadn't regained her senses and was still replaying the entire scene.

"Thanks for the good luck charm. Now I am certain I will get us out of this alive." Said Mesa as he stepped of Articuno and dropped down to the ground making a small impact crater upon landing.

"Alright you furry piece of shit! Come and get me!" Yelled out Mesa and holding Yamato ready.

ROAR!!!

The Tyrant Profound Beast roared and rushed over towards Mesa. Suddenly, crystal blue colored Profound Energy explodes outwards out of Mesa and envelopes everything within a 500 m radius dome. And just as the Tyrant Profound Beast got to within a hundred meters of Mesa, he and everything else stopped.

JUDGEMENT CUT…

Across the entire dome, slashes appear that cut the very space itself, making it look like everything inside the dome, including the Tyrant Profound Beast, was broken like glass for a moment before...

…END

And then, Mesa sheaths Yamato back the Tyrant Profound Beast fell to the ground, all cut up into chunks of flesh. Xia Qingyue, who was in the air on top of Articuno with a clone Mesa was dumbfounded upon seeing Mesa take down this Tyrant Profound Beast. She was certain that no one in the Blue Wind Empire could take down such a beast and yet she saw Mesa cut it into pieces with a blade whose incredible and unparalleled demonic power she felt 9 months ago. Back then this demonic power had frightened her and now she sees that its source is with Mesa and he used it to save them.

"M-M-M-Mesa… you did it! You killed it!" Said Xia Qingyue out loud from atop Articuno. But just as she wanted to get off, the clone Mesa next to her stopped her.

"Stay here and don't move! That beast was but the first of many that are gonna come. Just stay here and wait till he tells us its safe!" Said clone Mesa as he held Xia Qingyue from going down.

Down there on the ground, Mesa was looking at the corpse of the Tyrant Profound Beast seriously. He knew that this Tyrant Profound Beast was but the first of many beasts that would come out and he was ready for them. A few moments later, the ground start trembling again, but this time it was worse. Looking around, Mesa saw the snow storm had subsided and he could see around himself for many miles. Looking at the mountains in the distance, Mesa saw the ground was rising there in multiple places and out of every one of these hills came a similar Profound Beast. Looking around, Mesa saw dozens of giant werewolf like Profound Beasts coming out of the ground. And each one was stronger than the one he killed just now and bigger. The weakest one there was at least two levels stronger than the giant werewolf Tyrant Profound Beast he just killed and the strongest was half a step into the Divine Origin Realm.

"Well, guess I have my work cut out for me." Mumbled Mesa to himself as he activated the Boosted Gear.

RED DRAGON EMPEROR: BALANCE BREAKER

"Alright you furry sons of bitches! Come and get me! I've got more than enough to kill every last one of you!" Yelled out Mesa to the giant werewolf Profound Beasts that were coming to him and Xia Qingyue.

BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST!

BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST!

Ling Kun, who was also in exploring the Heaven Secret Basin Realm, was shocked upon sensing the presence of a Tyrant Profound Beast. But he was even more shocked when he sensed the exact same demonic energy he sensed nine months earlier. Back then, he was in his house and enjoying a cup of tea when a pulse of demonic energy had swept across the Profound Sky Continent and it caused him to shit his pants in absolute fear. To make matters even worse, after the demonic energy had swept across, he saw an image of a dark silver and blue demon holding a sword to his throat. But just as quickly as it had appeared, this image and the demonic energy had disappeared. After that Sword Master, Xuanyuan Wentian had called in an emergency meeting and ordered them to scour the entire continent for this demonic blade and get it by ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Nine months had gone by and they haven't gotten a single clue about this demonic blade's whereabouts. And now, in this place of all places, he felt it again. The excitement that coursed through his body as he imagined delivering this demonic blade to the Sword Master and the reward he would get made him turn in its direction and he took off at breakneck speed towards it. On the way there, he started to feel multiple presences of Profound Beasts that were even more powerful. Some were even as strong as the Sword Master himself. But even so, Ling Kun was determined to go the source and get his hands on that demonic blade.

'I don't care one bit who managed to provoke so many Profound Beasts, I will get my hands on that demonic blade and let who or whatever provoked those Profound Beasts die there!'
