Chapter 99: Balance Of The World
" Correct, I figured we would need a more peaceful place to speak to each other Mute. But the odd bunch behind me are known as the disaster curses."
Says Kenjaku pointing behind him using his thumb. Mute looks over Kenjaku's shoulder, glaring at a volcanic-like curse. The cursed spirit lets out a wide grin before speaking in a raspy voice.
" The name is Jogo, the little red curse next to me is Dagon and I'm sure you have met Mahito already and Hanami is the one with a flower on her shoulder. "
Mute stares at the odd group in front of him pondering to himself...
Each of these curses is fairly strong. Jogo has the most curse energy leaking off of him. I'm guessing he's the strongest in this group. I glanced around observing the curses before Kenjaku abruptly spoke.
" There's no need to be on guard Mute. We've already made a binding vow, and if you're worried about the numbers of this group don't. A strong sorcerer named Uruame will arrive in this domain shortly. "
Another sorcerer? I figured that all of Kenjaku's group would be curses, I watched as Jogo and Mahito walked away from Kenjaku and me, Mahito annoyingly strolled over toward Hanami before he reached up and playfully grabbed onto Hanami's branches before he tried to rip them out of her head.
Hanami let out an annoyed sigh before she kicked Mahito in the stomach launching his body back until it crashed into a nearby palm tree. This Mahito seems to be the weakest of the group, but you can tell he's young. He acts like a child.
I guess Kenjaku saw me glaring at Mahito because he quickly spoke to me about him.
" Mahito is a curse that has only recently formed. He appeared around five to six months ago. So, try to ignore his annoyance. But I have a question to ask you, Mute..."
I look at him intrigued, as he finishes his sentence.
" Do you know why there have been so many strong curses forming recently? "
I shake my head at him. Truthfully, I've never thought about it. I was too busy trying to figure out how to kill Gojo. Kenjaku grins at me while I shake my head before he speaks.
"It is because of Satoru Gojo, His birth shifted the balance between curses and sorcerers. Naturally, the world will change trying to balance the world back into harmony. Creating strong curses is nature's way of balancing itself. "
" That's where my plan comes into play. I plan on bringing back the golden age. During my plan, there will be strong sorcerers and curses born. If you can beat them, the legacy you leave will be mind-boggling. "
Says Kenjaku while holding onto his chin with a bright grin on his face, I stare at him while thinking to myself,
Tch, this Kenjaku has a silver tongue. He's trying to persuade me to follow him blindly. Unfortunately for him, the binding vow we made was one only to make sure we didn't kill each other. I won't follow him, we will only be acquaintances.
I will work with him here and now. But I plan on doing my own thing even if Kenjaku's plan does sound pleasing. I nod my head at him, until suddenly a hole opens in the domain, and a small figure with white hair walks through the hole.
This must be the sorcerer, Kenjaku was talking about. This Uruame seems to be quite powerful. I glare at them until they lock eyes with me and grin. They wave at me before walking away and sitting on a beach chair.
I look back over at Kenjaku before he smirks and gestures for me to look to the right by pointing with his thumb. I glance over to the right confused as a kick slams into my side sending my body crashing into the nearby ocean.
I sink into the ocean with an annoyed look on my face. I hear obnoxious laughter while submerged under the water before I swim up and break through the surface of the ocean. Water pours down my face as I stare at the beach, seeing Mahito holding onto his stomach dying of laughter.
I exhale loudly trying to keep my cool, while Kenjaku chuckles lightly...
Mute has little to no idea about the situation he has put himself in, and the consequences following his decision to ally himself with Kenjaku...
