Reconnecting A Family Lost In Conflict

Heavenly Sword Villa (Blue Polar Star)

Emilio opened a portal to the Heavenly Sword Villa and began searching for the formation that contained the old demon. He finally found it in the center of a large plaza, but it was empty due to the late hour.

Emilio then cut off the surrounding area from this dimension so as to not alert anyone that the seal was being broken.

Emilio also destroyed the other defenses around it as Emilio began to raise it from the ground.

Soon enough, the formation has been destroyed so that an old-looking man can be seen hanging by chains to what is essentially a giant pillar, after which he begins to stir from his rest.

The old demon then proceeds to shout, obscenities, and other vulgar sayings, while also shouting out to the darkness.

"Who has released this demon has the sacred grounds finally decided to end my life, to end my humiliation, show yourself cowards!".

Emilio then decides to end the older man's prattling by revealing himself to the man. Then noticing him and with a glare, he asks the mysterious man, "Who are you? You do not seem to be a member of the sacred ground yet; You are here alone".

Emilio then greets the old demon by saying " Yun Canghai I Emilio Reese, the God of Freedom and Evolution, I have decided to release you from the seal in order for you to fulfill your duty to the royal family of the illusory demon realm. Additionally, I possess information that may pique your interest".

The demon then stares at Emilio as if searching for lies in his statement and, seemingly content, asks "Lord Emilio, why are you freeing me? You are not a resident of the demon realm; I can sense that, yet, you are freeing me. Why!".

Emilio informs CangHai, the demon Lord, that his realm is facing a rebellion as the majority of the prominent families have turned against the Crown.

The current queen ruling the realm is unable to legitimize her authority due to the loss of the seal and her inability to learn the Golden Crown's arts. Emilio emphasizes that the seal is crucial for the survival of the demon realm.

After explaining the circumstances of why he is being freed, the demon then looks almost scared, maybe for himself or his realm.

Emilio does not know, and he would rather not have to read the man's mind as he proceeds to release the man from the seal while lowering it back into the ground and replacing all the defenses that were there so that they would think he's still sealed there.

Once released, the demon proceeds to scream that "The heavens have not abandoned me. This demon has returned, and soon so shall the demon realm, but for now, I thank you. Lord Emilio, may I also trouble you in helping me return as I am currently weak due to my time in the seal".

Using his ability to manipulate time, Emilio rewinds the man's time to before he was trapped in the seal. As a result, the man's cultivation returns to its peak, and he is left in awe of his newfound youth.

The old demon then says in a thankful tone, "Thank you, Lord Emilio, for returning my strength now. I may serve the Demon realm ever more faithfully, but before we leave, I would like to know what information you had other than you seeking me to return the seal?".

Emilio then says to the man, "It's mostly due to the whereabouts of your grandson, as the Xiao Clan has taken him in under the name of Xiao Che at the Floating Cloud City. And don't worry; he is relatively safe as well. He isn't the strongest being there; he is protected by loving people".

The old demon then gets a bit watery in the eyes as he turns away, seemingly thankful that he has some remnants of his family to look after.

Emilio then asks whether or not the man wants to see his grandson or return to the illusory demon realm.

The old demon then replies "I have waited hundreds of years to be released from that damn seal. After one hundred years of waiting, not knowing if my family had lived, And now that I know that my family still lives, my realm is in peril. I must do my duty, take us to the Demon realm, Lord Emilio".

Emilio when he scanned the entirety of the Primal Chaos and opened up a portal to the Demon Realm.

Which was seemingly like its own little secret realm, as they reminded him of the reverse side of the world from the Fate universe.

Emilio then wonders if he should go there to help out CHALDEA, as there was a bit of a childhood dream of his. (Wink Wink)

Cortana seems to agree with him by saying in a bit of an excited tone.

[Chief, I believe it would be beneficial for you to visit the world as it will not only provide you with ample opportunities to gain more combat experience but also let you meet other famous personalities. In fact, I am particularly interested in being introduced to Leonardo Da Vinci.]

After considering it, Emilio located the illusory Demon Realm and opened the portal so that both of them could enter.

As the two men then stepped through the portal. They find themselves in the capital city of the Demon Realm with the old demon, then requesting to return to his family home before heading to the palace.

Although when approaching the old demons' ancestral home, some guards noticed the two heading toward the gate and shouted at them.

" Halt! You are on private property that belongs to the Yun Family; identify yourself, or we shall have to remove you painfully".

The old Demon then scoffs at the two as he pulls out a Crest that the guards recognize and then bows, allowing the two to enter the property.

As the two enter the property, the old demon starts to yell out authoritatively. "Yun Canghai has returned, and I would like every member of this family to gather at my location to discuss the current issue about the imaginary demon realm".

But as very few begin together, the old demon then asks about the current status of his son Yun Qinghong.

At the mention of their patriarch's name, the servants smile, then dim as they lead him to his room, in which they find a frail older man that has seemingly lost all his life.

Then, the wife of the current Patriarch Mu Yurou is noticed by the old demon as he widens his eyes and stares at him, after bowing and apologizing for the current patriarch's absence due to illness.

The old demon looks at his son with sadness before turning his attention to Emilio and saying in a quiet manner.

"Lord Emilio, even after all you have done for me, may I be shameless enough to ask that you heal my son". Emilio then smiles and lifts the man from the floor while saying, "Of course, my crusty friend as the more secure your family is, the more secure your realm is. It's a win".

Emilio then approaches Yun Qinghong, as the patriarch's wife asks the old demon, "My Lord, who is this man, as he doesn't feel like a member of any star realm that I have seen or felt?". The old demon then simply nods and remains silent.

Emilio then looks to the man that is seemingly in utter pain and agony as he places his hand on his chest, and a green glow bathes the room in light, and after a couple of seconds, the light then recedes with the man returning to his younger form.

Mu Yurou then cries with relief as she approaches her husband's bedside along with the old Demon as he kowtows to Emilio in thanks.

Emilio then says "This night has been strenuous for all of us. I suggest we wait until morning to clean house". Emilio then leaves with the old demon close behind.

Upon returning to the living area, the servants were still gathered there, some crying at the sight of their Patriarch. The old Demon then roused a few of the servants and instructed them to prepare a room for their honored guest, Emilio.

They arrived at the room and prepared it for Emilio and after the old demon beat him good night. A portal then opened next to him, with Li Suo looking at him with an irate expression.

The goddess of life then proceeds to say in an annoyed tone, "You have been busy, my love, as you have gained multiple divine inheritances and received prayers from an entire empire".

The goddess of life then sighs while placing her fingers on her nose as she mutters, "What will I do with you?".

Emilio then smiles and grabs his wife by the waist as he pulls her towards the bed and says "Well, as your husband. I have missed you over the past few days, and you have seemingly kept busy with all the novels you've read in my library".

His wife blushed deeply, avoiding eye contact, and said that "You are fortunate to have such a kind-hearted wife as most women wouldn't have tolerated such mistakes". Despite her serious tone, there was a hint of irony in her words.

Emilio then says to his little minx of a wife as they lay on the bed. "How about I make it up to you right now?".

Li Suo then replies with "What are you waiting for? Show your master a good time".

Soon enough, all that can be heard from the room is certain extracurricular noises, which luckily can't be heard by the rest of the house.

Emilio had placed silencing runes as his wife entered. But as the night concluded with a hopeful future for the illusory demon.
