Helping them figure out how to seal a dragon didn't take long, it was like sealing a tailed beast but without the dying part, though if I had to be more to the letter I would say is like fusing two souls in a symbiotic relationship.

One thing that still worried my mind was, not finding Kimimaro, where was he? Not even with the system I could locate him, it was as if he was out of reach.

But I knew he was alive and had the system searching for answers.

"I want to see the wedding of my Queen," Berserion said with a soft smile, "I want to see the young queen marry,"

I meet them not long ago and they trust me completely what a bunch of sentimental idiots, "I suppose... not really into the romantic scene anymore," I chuckled.

"Leave that to me," Irene said enthusiastically.

I couldn't help but laugh at her antics, as they started to deviate the subject of conversation to wedding themes.

I kinda zone out as I focused once again on finding Kimimaro, where was he.

[Kimimaro POV]

No matter how much I walked the maze seemed to ever expand as if copying the cosmos.

Left, Right, no matter where I decided to go the paths seemed to be endless.

"Maybe if I destroy, all of this, or maybe master yami is training me." maybe that was the best way to exit.

Beeep!

I'm sorry to interrupt you, Kimimaro. If that's even your name.

But I'm afraid you've been misinformed.

You are not here to solve a puzzle. Nor, have you have been put here by the individual you assume. Although, you have indeed been put here by someone else.

You have all been here. Into a labyrinth of sounds and smells, misdirection and misfortune.

A labyrinth with no exit. A maze with no prize but death. Most of you don't even realize that you are trapped without any escape.

(Author note: There are multiple people in the maze, each one hearing the voice but with their name)

Your admirable loyalty to your master has driven you in endless circles. Chasing the the hope of escape in some unseen path, always seeming so near.

It's somehow out of reach.

But, you will never find the escape. None of you will.

This is where your stories ends, sacrifices for a god so just and fair that it should be a honor to you be be eaten and hunted by him.

As of now you all have forty minutes to prepare, your new master awaits with excitement to kill you all.

"As if," I wasn't going to die, god or not I would slay the menace and return to my master side.

[Update.....

Kimimaro has been kidnapped by a local god...

The god of the hunt, Prata, he likes to prey in loyal humans for unknown reasons and took Kimimaro when you were sleeping....

....

Location unknown, most likely they are within his realm, which would take hours or days to break, without knowing where to find....

Would you like me to proceed?]

"Yes," I didn't need to think twice, I never thought I would have to kill a god so fast, but no one messes with what is mine.

I knew Kimimaro would survive and if he didn't I would avenge him, killing this god, for his hubris.

"Everything okay?" Irene asked, noticing my grin expression.

"Yes, I.. Kimimaro was kidnapped by a god," I sighed, rubbing my temples, "I'm focusing on finding him,"

Berserion took a deep breath and asked, "which god?"

"Prata," I answered, if he knew something that could improve my search was welcomed.

"I know that bastard," Berserion growled, stomping his claw on the ground in anger, "I know where to look, let's go!"

Berserion gave a sign for me and Irene to get on his back, and we parted to the unknown but one thing was clear a god would fall today.

"He is one of the minor gods, of this world," Berserion said, "He preys on really loyal humans, when he eats them he gains their power and memories,"

"Not for long," I practically hissed, I would born the world if it meant showing him not to mess with me, without noticing my The combination of my chakra and magic power was flaring wildly.

Irene was staring at me in disbelief, my magic power easily eclipsed every dragon in her country, by a lot.

Even Berserion was stunned by the sheer power he was feeling.

Noticing the looks I was getting I got hold of my emotions reigning my power back inside, "I apologize, I don't take kindly those who touch what is mine,"

Irene smiled and said, "I thought you were powerful but that's impressive, certainly you have to teach me how,"

"Haha I never thought I see the day that a human would make me shiver," Berserion chuckled loudly making our ride have extra bumps, "I approve of this union! your kids will take the world!"

"Little monsters," Irene hummed, "I like the sound of that, Irene the mother of monsters!"

I chuckled letting myself be swayed by their happy attitudes, "I don't think I would be a good father," how can someone devoid of emotion take care of others.

"Don't be stupid," Irene huffed, "you keep thinking you are devoid of emotion and yet you have shown anger, sadness, happiness, and... lust, just stop hiding under your shell let others bear your burdens..."

I smiled and hugged her back, and with a soft whisper said, "Someday, perhaps I'll be ready," maybe she was right and this was my way of copping with my terrible past.

"Sorry to interrupt," Berserion said, snapping me out of my train of thought, "But we are here, his realm must be somewhere,"

[Realm entrance forty meters south, capable of entering, do you want to enter?]

"Yes," I answered the system, teleporting everyone with me inside the realm, with thought clouding my mind, killing Prata.
