Chapter 38

A nightmare of how it always was. Paralyzed with the feeling of being naked, cold as your sense of touch slowly dies out.

Soon A masked man in a pure white robe then came closer with a knife, making sweeping movements to a music only he could hear. He would be closer now, then further away and then closer again. it went on and on as i watched him in panic.

Then the Masked man seemed to have only noticed me now as he began to look at my lying position with interest. Soon I was standing in a place that was unrecognizable, a place where the earth had a shade of blue and the clouds in the sky was thickened with Mana.

Here you could see blue in every direction to the horizon; where it met with the golden color of the wheat scattered all around. All that punctuated the dichromatic scheme was the odd lonely lake and the long strands of cloud being dragged across the sky by the wind.

Thick silver strands of mana pushed in the direction of the lake, as though they were being pulled by something.

It was then I heard it...

[Eliya... just tell me where you and the others sent your divinity?]

!!!

In my Shock, the Masked Man appeared next to me and made a sssh! Gesture before pointing towards the lake. As though the space around us shrunk, we approached the lake with great speed as I heard a female cuss.

[grrr...go smash your heard on the mountain of maletem, AaaaAArgh!!!]A lady with a messy blonde hair flew around as though to support her fury, her fury filled green eyes glared at another blonde man who sat on the clouds.

To her words the latter chuckled in delight.

It was then i recognized the Woman, "She was the one who gave me the system!!. Now she looks nothing like her previous look. I remember her beautiful golden locks and a healthy tanned skin but now..."

[Oh dear sister, just call back your divinity and all this would be over.]The blonde Male said.

[So you can repeat what you did to mother?.] Eliya quickly countered while the Man's mouth began to twitch in anger. [Hmph...] lighting suddenly appeared in his hand as he tried to strike, when I tried to jump in to block it, I found that I still could not move. I turned to the masked Man next to me only to find him shaking his head.

With a frown, I turned back to the scene only to see the blonde male throw down the lightning from his hands onto Eliya's direction, striking her rib, causing her to scream.

With gritted teeth, He coldly looked at Eliya before vanishing, unaware of the audience.

All I could do was glare in the direction where Alchrod stood earlier while swearing to kill the bastard, it was then Eliya finally broke into sobs [save me...]

I wanted to comfort her but Then everything went Dark again.

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

Haru woke up as if there was an emergency, if someone saw him right now, he would ask if sleeping had become such a dangerous thing.

His heart beat was fast as his initial shocked expression soon turned to one filled with rage. Only now did his brain recover from it's initial flat battery, the exertions of tonight had been a marathon of erratic problems which needed solving.

And so the night soon pass with Haru clutching his head as though he was hungover, not from drink, but from the dream that demanded solutions.

"Eliya is in trouble and I have been messing around comfortably...!" was the first thought the crossed his mind.

[ALCHROD!] He said through gritted teeth, [You dare do this to my Benefactor!!].

He got off the bed and looked out the window with a frown, [It's Only now that I understand the gravity of the situation],

He suddenly felt several people lock onto him with just this small movement.

This action only made him smile wryly as he thought, "Still don't trust me?!I wonder which one of them has this killing intent towards me, well Luckily I won't need to stay here for long".

He then pulled out the memory fragment from his inventory while thinking "I still need to find the other three before doing any other thing according to the Main quest."

{<Main Quest>: Find the Next Clue to the Next memory fragment.

<Grade>: C

<Rewards>: 1 Free level upgrade for all present jutsus}

"That means I still have to stick with this Identity for a bit longer to get the "clue" for the second fragment from the Guild Master, and I think I already found the clue for the third fragment." His eyes flashed as he thought about the monk at the hidden Temple.

"It all boils down to strength,I think it's time my clone stopped its meditation... after all, I believe I still have a date."

[..."Vindictus"] Haru finally muttered with a smirk on his face.

Moving closer to the castle window, He closed his eyes and tried to sense his surrounding, only to feel a huge interference in the air.

[I might as well use this]Haru muttered while pulling out three messenger birds from his inventory.

He had gotten this as gifts from the system for unlocking an achievement after toying with the gold armored bandit on their way here.

After sending them out, He proceeded to meditate in order to increase his cultivation.

LUCAS POV

Meanwhile,

Outside of Primux.

At the tip of southern Edge(Mountain)

Lone Castle(Home of Baron Molten)

I stood on the drawbridge as I stared at my home, upon the ancient wood. At One time this was were brought me joy and happiness as I spent my time in mother's embrace.

I often watched as Horses passed over as they carried goods into the citadel within.

This was home to My Father, "Baron Azi Molten", Devoted follower of Count Van and Keeper of Primux.

"Well we are about to change that" The old man's voice rang in my Head.

"yes" was all I said while a malicious smile hung on my lips as I slowly led my Shadow warriors into the Castle.

Primux town

<Top Floor: Golden Bella(Headquaters of the Wolf Gang in Primux)>

Joss sat with legs at the Roof of the Building as he hummed a tune while gently tapping the table, Diana busied her self with watering the tea plants that were planted on wooden flower bed. It was a serene scene, but not for those who knew this two.

Lefty finally concluded his investigation and was ready to report. He knew how Joss liked thorough reports, so it had taken him over a week to complete. Even at that, he felt worried that it would still displease him.

After summoning courage, He pushed open the wooden doors.

[ah!! Diana look!look! it's lefty!] Joss said with light claps like an excited child.

[en...] a dull response came from the apathetic maid, creating a stack contrast with Joss.

Lefty on the other wasn't the least bit calm like he looked, He knew that this was The boss being sarcastic.

And not in the funny way.

Joss my have said that but the wolf gang "translation" says "Oh diana, lefty finally decided to grace us with his presence."

[My Lord] Lefty finally spoke up.

Joss on the other hand had an amused smile on his face while mixing his tea.

Taking it as his cue to continue, he began his report[Since I began my investigation, I found that this attacks weren't specifically meant for us but it had been a general attack on virtually all the gangs in Primux.]

Hearing this didn't make Joss angry like Lefty thought it would, instead his eyes seemed to twinkle.

[Do tell] He finally said, send cold sweat down Lefty's back.
