Unfortunate Heero (5)

The journey which was supposed to be a month journey, Heero reached Nebraska Mountain in ten days with his wound worsened. Blood oozed out from his wound and his face looked exhausted.

Saint was shocked to see his disciple condition. The seven fairy mothers also let a cry as soon as they looked at Heero's condition. Currently, Heero was kneeling before his master, he had his face on the ground and said, "Master, I want to be stronger! Please train me! I want to be stronger!"

Heero's voice hoarse and dry, but one could feel the strong determination behind the words. Saint was curious what happened to his disciple, but his wives were ahead of him.

"Child! Don't worry, your master will train you. Even if he does not want, we will force him to. For now, let's treat your wound first, okay?"

After that, Heero's seven fairy mothers brought Heero inside and treated the injuries. When seven fairy mothers were treating his injuries, Heero told them what happened in Morabaka City. Not a single detail left, including his lover, friend, sister, and the elder who treated him well.

Saint and his wives could feel Heero's anguish from the words came out from Heero. They could feel it and the seven fairy mothers also turned furious when they heard their daughter-in-law was killed during the attack by Evil Dragon.

…

A week had passed since Heero back to Nebraska Mountain. It took Heero a week to get completely healed from the injuries he suffered.

"Master, I want to be stronger, please…!

"I know! I know, we will start after you have your breakfast!"

As soon as Heero healed, this was what he did. He asked to continue the training. Even though he had calmed down as his seven fairy mothers consoled him in the last week, the urge of revenge still became stronger.

And then, Heero continued his training under Saint's guidance.

Time passed by and five years had passed.

"I already taught all I have…" Saint held his chin as he fell into deep thought, "But if you feel it's still lacking, I can only bring you to meet them!"

It seemed his Master did not have a hundred percent confident on him to defeat the God Specter Horas. Heero could perceive it based on his Master's words.

"Then let me meet them!" Heero responded spontaneously. His eyes were firm and resolute as he said this.

"Good!" Then, Saint brought Heero to the peak, the highest place of Nebraska Mountain. At the peak, Heero found a door and his Master brought him to the door.

From the outside, it was just a normal door made of wood. Saint opened the door and said, "What you are looking for is inside, you can go in!"

Behind the door, it was only darkness. Heero could see nothing, but only darkness. Without hesitation, Heero entered and found he was inside a cave? Heero himself did not know where he was but based on the interior, he seemed to be inside a giant cave.

"Hohoho, Saint send us another a new toy. This boy comes at the right time, I am bored and want to play a little!" A sonorous voice sounded.

Heero looked toward the voice and found where it came from. However, finding the voice belonged for, leaving Heero's mouth opened wide. He just could not believe what he was seeing.

A dragon, yes, the voice belonged to a dragon. Moreover, not only one, he found three dragons. However, it seemed it was not only a dragon, but there was also a giant bird shrouded in flame, the mythical beast, Phoenix.

Not only Phoenix, Dragon, but there was also another creature popped out. The creature he hated the most, God Specter. There was also God Specter here, four God Specter.

He found three Dragons, a couple of Phoenix, and four God Specters. Then another round of training continued, he continued the "training" and it was the beast and specter who trained him.

Another five years had passed and Heero came out of the door. After ten years of training, Heero finally ready to fight, he was ready to kill God Specter Horas.

As soon as he came out, he said farewell to his Master and his seven mothers before he departed to Specter territory. He went ahead to God Specter Horas's castle.

A wing made of Ki formed on his back and he flew toward God Specter Horas' castle direction. With the wing made of Ki, it only took Heero three days to reach the castle.

As Heero headed toward the castle, he found many heroes camping outside the castle. The castle seemed to be surrounded by heroes. Heero however ignored the group of heroes and rushed in.

"God Specter Horas, I am coming. Offer your head to me!"

When the group of heroes noticed Heero rushed in toward the castle, they tried to prevent Heero. However, Heero did not listen to the warning and just directly headed inside the castle.

"Don't head to the castle, Horas has set up a trap! Don't get in!!!!" It was the warning, but Heero ignored the warning.

He stepped in at the entrance and then, suddenly he could not move his body. Yea, he could not move his body and coldness assaulted his body. Without him knowing, he was sealed in Eternal Ice. This was a trap God Specter Horas had set up.

He could see hero after hero went inside the castle. However, before the heroes entered the castle, they would pray to him. Besides praying, Heero also found some of the heroes were thanking him for opening the path toward the castle.

In the end, he was still unfortunate. Not only all his achievement was robber by the other heroes, but he also became a sacrificial lamb to open the path in the expedition of slaying God Specter.

And then, an image appeared in his mind. It was the image of the last moment before his parents and grandfather died.

"Heero! Don't try to get revenge for us! You must survive and continue Xing Family line!"

It was his parents' last wish. Even his grandfather also nodded his head at the side.

"Grandfather, I am sorry! I can't achieve your dream to be a great hero!"

"Father! Mother! Sorry, I am let you down. It seems I can't continue Xing Family line!"

Then, slowly his conscious blurred, but then with the last spark of will, Heero shouted in his heart!

"Father! Mother! I will be obedient! I will stop to be Hero and continue our family line, please release me from this Eternal Ice!"

Then, Heero lost his conscious as his vision darkened.

Maybe, his father, mother, and grandfather heard Heero's last shout. Heero somehow awakened and managed to break free from the Eternal Ice.

However, he found himself was not at the entrance of God Specter Horas' castle, but inside water. Heero was confused and swam to the surface. Then, he found he was in the middle of the ocean, but it was fortunate that he was not far from the land.

Heero swam to the land and found himself in a foreign place. He was supposed to be sealed inside Eternal Ice at the entrance of God Specter Horas' castle. Yet he found himself in an unknown wasteland.

Yes, the soil was black, the tree only left with trunk and branch. It was clear the tree was dead. No single life could be… Found?

No, Heero found something, it was undead. However, the undead was different from the undead he used to know. The undead he found here had a form similar to a human, but their body seemed to be rotten.

Foreign land and a weird undead, this place was unheard to Heero.
