Chapter 48: Meeting Edian, & Talking with Muzaka. (Time skip)

On the island, Ignes sat besides Raizel. Rai had come back here to check on her, she didn't have anywhere left to go. Her reason for all that she did was gone, the organization just didn't feel like somewhere she wanted to be right now.

Raizel looked at ignes besides him "You know, you can go back to Leukedonia now, I can talk to the Lord. She will accept you back, you can revive your clan. It's fallen really hard you know".

Ignes gazed silently into empty space "Even if you forgave me doesn't mean they will" she paused going silent again......"I did a lot of things to the Nobles we captured over the years".

Raizel gazed silently at her and smiled. He stood up, drawing Ignes's attention as Raizel held her hand and took them to Leukedonia. Ignes looked around in shock as she found out she was in Leukedonia "Wh–why would you bring me here" she asked in a panicked state.

"Just come with me" he said as he flew her all the way to the Lord's castle and entered the throne hall. All the Gajus turned around and saw Rai, they gave a bow and greetings. But then their eyes went to Ignes, and turned cold meanwhile Raskreia still with an impassive look had just calmly watched as Raizel walked down over with Ignes.....

Raskreia's gaze stayed on Raizel and then back to Ignes, her gaze went back to Raizel once more "What is the meaning of this Cadris Etrama di Raizel" she asked still impassive as her gaze returned to Ignes.

Raizel looked towards Ignes and back at Raskreia "I forgave her, and as you saw Roctis is dead".

Everyone flinched as nervous sweat ran down their face *clears throat* "So you were aware Raizel-nim" Gejutel asked. Rai smiled "Although I don't have magic but I still have my divine senses".

..."Right....of course you do" Gejutel said as he looked at everyone who looked like they wer berating themselves inside for their stupidity and not realizing such a clear loophole.

Raskreia's gaze met Rai's ..."You still haven't said why she's here Raizel".

"To become a part of Leukedonia again and...." Raizel paused as Ignes stepped forward and took a bow. Raskreia watched, "It's an honor to meet you Lord" she raised her head up as she looked at Raskreia "Ignes Kravei, daughter of Roctis Kravei and former traitor of Leukedonia".

Raskreia was silent as she only nod her head looking at Ignes "Tell me Ignes, why are you here" asked Raskreia as she patiently waited for Rai's answer.

"Well...truthfully lord, I didn't want to come here yet. I was dragged here by the Noblesse" ignes said.

*{Wow, blaming me huh *chuckle* }* Raizel thought and silently watched as Ignes continued

"I have no words to say that will be able to pacify what I have done" her eyes turned watery "I was just too weak, I was the biggest disgrace to high level pure blood Nobles. I got so mad envious and jealous, everytime I saw Gaju or met an heir, I just couldn't help feeling so small in front of them. I Just couldn't control it, it just drove me crazy. I really can't say how sorry I am, for everything I had done to shame Leukedonia. Which is why all I can ask for is yours and everyone's forgiveness" the tears were already streaming down her face midway through.

Everyone was silent as they watched the sobbing Ignes, she had regained herself a few seconds later "Forgive me for such an inelegant display Lord, I guess I will have to relearn proper behavior" she apologized.

"It's okay....." Raskreia watched the whole room as her gaze travelled through every Gaju present here "This decision will be left up to you other Gajus, do you forgive her or do you want to forever cast her out" she said to them.

All of the Gajus were silent as they pondered their decision, the Lord had given this decision to them out of respect since it was they In actuality who would be affected the most by whatever decision would have been made here today.

All the Gajus already had a coordinated way in which they work and they were always comfortable in their spaces even when around each other. Nobody interfered with anybody's decision in each of their clans. If another Gaju was just thrown in there all of a sudden without knowing the space in which they interact and especially one like Ignes who would have a high tendency of doing that, It would cause some discomfort amongst them. Because all Nobles have and always will be

Gejutel looked to Raskreia "...I do not say that I forgive her Lord, but I propose we try letting her stay. But she would be under watch, and we shall see how she does as a Gejutel" proposed Gejutel as the rest of the Gajus nod their heads to his proposal.

Raskreia listening to this turned her gaze back to Ignes "So it's decided Ignes, you are now under probationary stay in Leukedonia".

Ignes took a bow "I thank you Lord, this is much more than I would have expected to receive". Raizel moved his hands and changed Ignes's attire to that a Gaju. He turned to Raskreia *[You're not going to ask why she has two soul weapons]*.

Raskreia calmly gazed back at him *[It's not coming as much of a surprise to me, do whatever you will Cadris Etrama di Raizel]*

Raizel was in silence for some time before he smiled as he turned around and vanished with Ignes from the room...

Above the top of the Kravei clan castle Ignes stood watching over the view, Leukedonia was always so silent and peaceful, with the most beautiful scenery to see from at high point.

"Thank you..... Raizel-nim" she spoke. Raizel turned his face to her "I didn't do anything, I was just going to tell them to accept you and they would have done it. Out of respect for me but they would never have seen you as someone they should give a chance".

Ignes scoffed "Thank goodness I intervened then". Raizel lightly and nod his head "Yeah, your way was much better".

Raizel turned back to gaze at the view, the cool wind blew and like that he was gone. Ignes sighed as she began walking back down, she had a lot of work to do......

Back on the Island....

*urgh*. A sound was heard as deep underground inside the island, a man floating inside a huge tube opened his eyes. His eyes shone with pure power and rage *Rooaaaaaar!* His aura burst out to the surface and going as high as 100kilometers in the air before it finally dispersed.

*hah...hah...hah...hah* He fell the ground as he panted, his pupils were nowhere to be seen, only the white of his eyes remained. He grit his teeth as a deep and primal angry growl was produced from his mouth. He stood up, staggering at first but then bit but gaining more stability as he began walking and as time passes that walk had turned Into a run. He ran at normal speeds and then stopped as his calf muscles flexed and then leaped high into the air. He burst out into the surface as a loud roar resounded through the whole Island causing a tremor as it passed all around the island and travelling to the sea. All the critters went into deep hiding and birds flew off from trees and took to the air, the pure instinctual fear they felt from such a primal roar putting their senses into overdrive as they flew for their lives.

Muzaka floating in the air as his glared at the being in front of him with pure insatiable rage "Raizel" his voice a deep growl as he called that name. He unleashed his werewolf transformation as his long light grey hair became even longer and his arms became furry claws as his aura rose and became even stronger. Everything about him screamed power, but.....something was different. One of his shoulder length bangs had become a deep red and the fur of his claws had red markings running over them.

Raizel watched Muzaka calmly he could sense the energy from those red markings, they only came from.one source. And that was the blood Stones, Muzaka's source was now merged with that of a blood stone. When the Noblesse was put into existence, his power being too great for any other being to handle was made to be balanced by two beings. The first is his elder brother who has the same source as him, and the second was Muzaka. Not one person is aware of this but the former Lord was stronger than Muzaka also. And when Raizel fought Muzaka, his intention was not to kill but to main or stop.

But even then the Noblesse's power was still the strongest, so a balance was made. His life force was made to be the fuel for his power, his brother had the exact same power as him and he was even stronger than Muzaka himself but his power was never tied to his life force.

People failed to understand that from the very beginning Raizel never face Muzaka at his peak, the hardest battle he fought was always his elder brother. His body of this lifetime had already been ruined a long time before, only if he were to have died would that problem be fixed. But if he had died for this lifetime, the small remaining balance that was left would have been shattered completely as the new him would have massively more powerful than before.

"Muzaka" he called looking into those rage filed eyes of his. -wake up- he whispered and a second later, Muzaka's pupils had returned back to normal as he blinked his eyes in confusion *urgh* "R...Raizel?....RAIZEL!!!" He roared "GET OUT OF MY WAY RAIZEL!, HOW LONG DO WANT TO KEEP STOPPING ME!!". His aura had made the entire atmosphere turn heavy and dangerous as he roared at Rai In rage.

Raizel looked calmly at Muzaka as he spoke "Muzaka, I have no interest in stopping you from doing what you want. I only came here to awaken you, so you could go on your slaughter spree with a clear mind".

"What!?" Muzaka asked with widened eyes, never in a million years would he ever imagine Raizel say something like that to him.

Raizel nod his head "Yes, however I only ask that you postpone your slaughter. Until I'm ready to leave".

Muzaka glared at Rai with focused eyes "What exactly are you saying now Raizel, you want me to hold off on killing the humans until you're ready to leave?"

"Yes Muzaka, that is exactly what I am saying. Also it's been centuries since that time we fought Muzaka".

"What!?" Muzaka exclaimed.

"You and I have been asleep for 820 years, I woke up almost a year before you". Muzaka still couldn't believe his ears, how did they.....his mind went back to the end of the fight they had, all he knew was that after that final clash. Everything just went blank, and the next thing was waking up here.

Raizel watched Muzaka as he was still clouded by confusion "You shouldn't worry so much Muzaka, they'll tell you everything you need to know later".

"They?" Muzaka asked raising a brow but Raizel had vanished leaving Muzaka staring into open space *{what happened to Raizel}* he looked down at his fur "what happened to me also" he spoke to himself.......

Weeks later At the House....

TV: News Reporter[Korea]..

– "In all my​​ days of reporting, I never thought a day would come in which I would have to regret taking up this profession as much I have had to do so today. Today will be marked as currently the greatest disaster that ever struck mankind, we have no idea how or why it started but the earth had gone into a state of chaos, unbelievable freak tornadoes and lightning storms broke out destroying countries, tsunami's washed cities of the map, the gravitational balance of the earth had gone off completely. The worst of all is something I truly am thankful for that it didn't happen here, I know that no one would truly be able to find fault with me for saying this.

A whole continent was on the verge of Extinction, about 15milion sq km was the estimate of the destruction. And the depth of the crater was calculated to be deeper than 2,000 kilometers underground.

This place out of every other place was hit the hardest....*blip*

Silence rang out inside the whole house, it had been weeks now since the catastrophe that struck the planet. The most strangest of things was that not one single thing in the whole city was affected by the whole event, in fact not one single bit of south Korea was affected by anything at all. It was like they had been separated from the world because even though the news said there was world wide darkness, for them everything was still perfectly okay.

Of course Raizel was the cause of all this, there was no way he would ever want to have his fan club come to school with trauma because of fear that they would die or for them to lose someone close to them in all that destruction.

At Yuna's house....

Yuna, Suyi, and Seira sat in the Living room as they watching the news while eating a bucket of ice cream. After their maturity in personality and character, they had all gotten along with Seira even much better than before.

"Wow, things are really crazy outside" Suyi said in a bored tone. The rest Nod their heads as they continued eating their bucket of ice cream. Yuna watched the news with complete impassiveness "I really would have been very angry with Rai if something like this happened before" said Yuna.

Suyi raised a brow "Why?" she asked as she turned her gaze back to the news. "From the beginning the blame was never on him, he wasn't the true cause of the destruction. It was Arith's power that caused the Crater, and Mary was the reason for the freak storms, Lunark's pressure was causing massive shockwaves and earthquakes".

Yuna nod her head "he said it wasn't intentional that he was never the true cause for any of the destruction, it just happened as it was. And even if he did cause all of them intentionally, he can't be judged or held accountable by any laws that bind creation".

"The concept of good and evil is just a role play for existence, for all we would have known the meaning of those two concepts could have been very different in another session of creation. The two concepts are just what it was willed to be, like every other idea and concepts that exist. Their meaning is what it was willed to be, they hold no true meaning because after this session of creation has ended the those concepts could just be willed to mean another thing entirely and may not even be related to each other anymore or they might not even exist altogether in the new session of creation.

Every being from the very beginning had already been imparted the meaning of what those two words would represent in this session of existence, and like he said. He is role playing the side of the greatest evil, no....he said his original meaning was just as the darkness, it was creation that gave it the name of evil" said Yuna.

"But that is also when we're applying the meaning of the concept to him that it becomes meaningless, but in actuality also those two concepts are very real and absolutely apply to almost any other being. Which is why the two ideas of heaven and hell exists, beings recognized as evil and go to hell while other beings recognized as good go to heaven and then there are other beings who don't belong to any of the classes because the concept is meaningless to them also" Suyi said to Yuna.

"But he did say say that throughout everything no matter what session of creation were in, there would be immortal concepts and ideas. Death is an eternal constant, so is darkness, time and then there is God. The meaning of those four would always stay the same no matter which session of creation it may be". Yuna nod her head to what Suyi had just said

Seira had completely left herself out of that conversation, it wasn't her problem and she had no interest in it.

Suyi suddenly raised her head up "Where's Rai, he hasn't been around for a week now". Yuna shrugged "Ask Urne or Mirai, they should know where he is, they're always with him now". She turned to Seira but she too shook her head, they couldn't reach him with their connection. Suyi looked around at both Yuna and Seira.

Meanwhile Raizel, Mirai and Urne we're back on werewolf territory. Urne looked around the land, *sigh* "Such Nostalgia, it's only been three weeks since we left" Urne said as she turned her gaze to Raizel. He had been very quiet through out the whole trip here, he even cut his mind link.

Raizel gazed at empty space as he begun releasing his aura "Come out Lagus, Gradeus.....Edian" her name was said in an almost whisper like voice.

Raizel patiently waited, but the ones who came out weren't the three former clan leaders but three other people. One was a big blue guy with a round body, his face was like that of a cute innocent little baby, he was Mount.

The other was 2meter tall ripped blue man with golden braids as his hair, this was Drakun. And the last one was a beautiful toned dark skinned woman, she had beautiful light blonde hair, and although she was muscular it never took away anything from her beauty, only adding more to it. Her huge mounds and her curvy body that was still incredibly visible even while being bigger than some men in build.

Mirai grinned when she was her as she waved and with enthusiasm "Hey Kaiyo!!" She called over to her. "Hey Miriam" she smirked as she waved back her gaze went to Raizel, "hello Raizel ".

Raizel smiled "Hello Kaiyo, forgive me but I will have to attend to you later" Raizel raised a palm and caught mount who had launched himself like a meteorite straight at him. *Kurgh* mount groaned as his angry baby eyes looked at Rai's glowing red eyes that just served to demean him "You....you bad man, you took Kaiyo away from us" he put in all his power as his aura began churning and rising even more, Raizel was indifferent and moved his hand to the side as he ripped off mounts head from his body. Massive amounts of blood splattered, as mounts headless body fell to the ground as blood continued to pour out.

Raizel looked at Drakun "Move, I'm not in the mood to play with you" Raizel warned but Drakun still stood his ground as he began releasing his aura and released his werewolf transformation "I know that I am no match for you, but as a true warrior I cannot run away from an opponent.....no matter who they are".

Urne and Mirai turned their faces to each other and then back at Drakun, the look on their face said it all. Urne stepped forward "didn't you hear, he's not in the mood....but I'll play with you if you want" she grinned.

Drakun looked at Urne in thought "When did you get back your eyes, it's something that isn't supposed to recover" he asked her.

Urne smirked "why would I have any interest in telling you, come on let's fight" Urne motioned for him to come at her.

Drakun glared at Urne "aren't you asking for death Urne, I know exactly how strong you are. And you're no match for me, you know that alrea....*Wheeze*. The air got knocked out of Drakun's lungs as Urne impaled her fist to his gut, he couldn't even react. "You really talk too much ya know" Urne said as she gave him a backhanded punch to his face. The force being so powerful it compressed and shattered his entire skull and his brains had burst as his eyes too popped out making a *Puff* sound. All this happened in just within a second as a massive shockwave burst out shattering 40kilometers of land.

*sigh* "damn, I really didn't want to kill him that fast" Urne said shaking her head.

Raizel looked straight ahead to see the figures of Lagus, Gradeus, and Edian coming towards him. The fear radiating of Gradeus and Lagus was palpable but his eyes were on Edian, her face was stoic but her eye contained massive sadness in them.

He couldn't let her suffer anymore, everything that had happened to her was all truly his fault. His stupid self of before and his righteous behavior. Raizel's eyes went to Lagus, this guy. He had never wanted anyone more dead than this guy.

Raizel raised his finger as he pointed it towards Lagus and Gradeus "if any of you two worthless beings dare speak my name, I promise to give you utmost hell, more than what you're already going to receive. So please do not waste my time and give your all, i want you to give every single thing, put everything on the line, your body, your soul, push yourself beyond what you ever happened was possible. Because if you don't, I promise to give you eternal hell" Raizel's eyes turned bright red as it glowed dangerously.

Gradeus gulped and looked at Lagus who shook his head, they knew that this was their end. Gradeus eyes turned black with a red iris as he summoned his soul weapon, it was a battle axe with a metal spider skull holding the blade for the axe. His power was a berserker, the more damage he took the stronger he became. Lagus tapped his cane on the ground as a large red mist was formed, huge red tentacles. As Edian was about to summon hers Raizel waved his hands "stop Edian" she paused. "Why, I am also your enemy Raizel. I am a traitor same as them" she asked as she locked her gaze into Rai's.

....."I'm sorry Edian, I know exactly what happened. Why you did what you did, I'm aware of the whole thing". Edian's eyes went wide in shock "y...you know" she asked her tone asking confirmation.

Raizel nod his head "Forgive me" Raizel turned his gaze to Gradeus and Lagus "But I have to deal with something first" Edian nod her head I'm understanding as she moved away from the battlefield. Raizel's eyes looked at Lagus "What are you doing Lagus, use the blood stone. And you too Gradeus, i told you to give it everything you have right".

Lagus flinched as he squinted his eyes *{so he can sense it}* Lagus removef his hand from his robe as huge red stone was seen being held in his hands *{even with this now it still would not be enough, we won't even make a scratch on him. How exactly did he grow so much}* Lagus stabbed the red stone into his chest as his Aura went up to Insane levels, his shirt burst open as green lines formed all around his chest, his eyes too turned bright green. Gradeus's too did his and his body became bigger as he turned completely red, his aura too was massive.

Raizel watched this, no....he watched those huge red tentacles that swayed around. The amount of disgust and anger he was feeling right now couldn't be described, the blood Phoenix opened it's eyes as it too felt it.

Raizel motioned with his index "come".

*Raaaargh* Gradeus moved towards as he swung his axe towards him with full force. The wind pressure from his wing lifting half the forest but Raizel flicked it away and in the same instant grabbed his head, as he smashed him to the ground.

He bashed him again and again and again, the entire country of the werewolves was trembling. Gradeus was still growing massively more stronger than before but it was useless. Raizel had bashed him and bashed over and over again and the lifted him up *Gaaargh* he roared as he held Raizel's hand trying to remove it but it wouldn't budge on centimeter.*{shit, this monster. He's not using his power of blood, since when did he gain strength like this, I'm even much stronger and yet I still can't move his hand}* Gradeus cursed in his heart.

His eyes widened when he felt Raizel's grip on his head tightening, his heart began beating loudly in his chest from fear *{No! No! No!..}* he became even more frantic, he even began kicking but his kicks always missed Rai even while he aimed directly at him.

Lagus had made his move as red glowing marks formed on his face,*{I don't know how much power I will be able to control but I have to use this}* he was devouring the energy of many werewolves and modified humans whom had been placed at an altar that was connected to the blood stone, he was taking their life force and adding it to his power.

Raizel turned his gaze towards Lagus, as he saw a massive pillar of red aura erupt from him shattering even more of the surroundings, his body had grown and became buff.

"So this is where he was" Suyi said as she dropped down. Urne turned to her "So you came too" she said turning back to look at Rai "can you feel it" she asked.

Suyi nod her head "Yeah, he looks very angry at something. I wonder why" she said as her eyes went towards the huge swaying red tentacles behind Lagus "Why do those things feel like some half copy of something, are those....blood vessels, it's almost like it wants to imitate...ahhhh.....I see" Mirai turned to her "did you figure out anything" she asked as Urne turned to her too. Suyi smiled "that guy has committed a great sin...no it should be called the greatest sin".

Edian watched Rai, his eyes although were calm still burned intensely *{is it because of Lagus's power he's like that}* she had never seen him get mad, his style of fighting too had completely changed.

Raizel watched as those tentacles launched at him, his eyes held indifference as he kept on squeezing tighter onto Gradeus's head at a very slow pace Gradeus still kicked and screamed under the grip. As those tentacles came with a meter of Rai, they froze.

*Gugh* Lagus groaned as he poured more power into it, he forced all the power he was getting making the tentacles even stronger but they still wouldn't budge and he couldn't draw them back either. He made more and bored them into the ground as they sneak attacked Rai's keg from the back but they too couldn't go any further than 5inches away from him.

*Raaaargh* he roared turning crazy "YOU BASTARD, I DID EVERYTHING FOR THE NOBLES! THEY COULD HAVE BECOME MUCH STRONGER AT ANYTIME THEY WANTED, THEY COULD HAVE HAD STRONGER POWER. IF THEY HAD DONE SO FROM THE VERY BEGINNING WE WOULD HAVE EVEN COMPLETELY DOMINATED THE ENTIRE WORLD IF WE WANTED AT ANYTIME WE WILLED IT, WE COULD UAVE COMPLETELY SURPASSED THE WEREWOLVES WHO WERE OUR RIVALS, AND THE HUMANS NOW CAN ACTUALLY POSE A THREAT TO SOME OF US, SOMETHING THAT WASN'T POSSIBLE BEFORE BUT THEY JUST SAT THERE! FROZEN IN TIME!!...I wanted to make Leukedonia better, but You...I know that you've changed now but this is all Your fault, why didn't you change then. Why now".

The wind blew as silence ensued, only the kicking and muffled screaming of Gradeus was left but his mouth had gone shut. Raizel looked straight at Lagus "I am aware of what my behavior was like before, I don't blame you for trying to make Leukedonia stronger even at the cost of betraying it and me....but, that is not your greatest sin. Your greatest sin is your power, You....have committed a sin against 'Blood', your greed for my power led you to commiting a most grievous of sins and making that distasteful abomination. And for that, You Must Pay".

Lagus's eyes went wide. A sin against blood? yes although he too admits that what he created is nothing like the original but why was he so made about that. Raizel turned his head towards the struggling Gradeus "you Gradeus, you.....you're just worthless" <CRACK.......PUFFFF.....SQUELCH>

Gradeus's body went limp as blood ran down his body and brain matter dropped down on the ground as Raizel released his hand and gradeus's body fell to the ground. <Thud>

Raizel raised his eyes up from gradeus's dead body and looked at Lagus <Kneel>

Lagus's body immediately went on its knees to tt ground, his body trembled violently as he looked at Rai's eyes. Raizel shattered all the tentacles as he walked towards Lagus and stood a meter in front of him looking down at him. "please...I know I was wrong" Lagus pleaded but Rai still just stared down at him –Let me show you blood– . Before Lagus could register what it was, he found himself in a very dark void he looked around in fear as his heart pounded "h–hello, show yourself!" he demanded as nervous sweat ran down his back. Suddenly a massive shiver ran down his spine as he felt something, he turned around to see a massive eye. This eye was still closed. He gulped hard, he felt like he was looking at his creator. He couldn't describe just how small he felt just by being near this thing, all presence of his very existence was completely gone, he felt like absolutely nothing.

Then... there was movement. The huge eyes slowly began opening, not even going past one centimeter but that was all he could bear as it was enough. Just with that small glimpse he felt like he was witnessing an endless abyss of inconceivable power, he couldn't even comprehend an atom of that power before his entire mind, body, soul and spirit shattered into nothingness.....

Raizel in the main word stood looking down at an empty space that once held Lagus's form. He turned around and walked away as he walked up to Edian and hugged her. She was frozen in shock there was no way that she would ever expect this day, Raizel doing this to her. After a minute of still being in shock, she slowly raised her hands up as she too reciprocated the hug.

She held onto him tightly as her beautiful silver white lashes trembled and tears began streaming down her eyes, Raizel brought her closer to him as he held her "I really am Sorry Edian"........< STAB >
