Chapter 176 XIII Another Daughter (1/2)
Days later, a young man wearing fancy clothes awaited by the Zetrad nation's space craft terminal while dozens of people stopped him to ask for autographs. Hundreds of spaceships, from the small to the huge ones could be seen coming in and out of the planet every few minutes.
From a dark corner, a silver-haired man walked out before spotting something and heading to the man in fancy clothes.
”Bi... I mean Hamon, when we leave?” Seeing Edward, Biman's eyes shined before he ran toward him.
”I'm sorry everyone, but since I've finished my last show yesterday it is time to part. I've a auction to go now so if you excuse me.”Taking Edward's arm, they quickly walked away before heading to the Hangar 4 where all the really expensive ships would stay.
”See, that is my mephisto.”Biman spoke with sparkling eyes while staring at a small but elegant. Without definite shape, the spaceship was like liquid metal, always changing and never looking the same. Seemingly random, assuming a triangular shape or other geometric figures. Inside the ship, Edward gasped. Even if he had been free for a few years, it was impossible to escape the gap left by the time he was imprisoned.
There were no windows. With only five seats, four lined up on the around the rectangular prism in the middle of the ship showing all the systems of the ship, maps, fuel while the last seat positioned on the opposite side.
”I'll start the engines and take off.”
Whoosh! The first notable thing was the absolute lack of movement or, more precisely, it moved so fast that Edward could not even feel it moving. In a split second, images of outside the ship appeared on the rectangular prism. Seeing a huge yellow and blue planet, Elijah who was observing everything sighed darkly. This reminded him that his world that was very similar to this one had been missing for some time now. Maybe not so much as how different is the flow of time in the two different Cosmic Realms.
”Mephisto, set the destination to the Cat's Eye galaxy, Ineo system, headquarters of the Mortal Alliance at Arcadia station.”
[Destination selected. Time of Arrival: One month.]
One month later. Within Ineo system, thousands of spaceships and cultivators headed to a huge space station built on a huge asteroid. Edward and Biman were meditating when a blaring alarm broke the stillness inside the spaceship.
Jumping out of his sleeping chamber, he unsheathed his longsword without even blinking. Edward had never heard this type of alarm before to know what it means, yet his years of training had prepared him for any situation.
”It's the proximity alert! We have crashed into something.” Biman's tense voice came from the other side of the ship, one floor above him.
Running into the control room, they hurried to see what was the thing that clashed with their ship when they saw a huge bright chariot drawn by two big winged-horses.
”Pegasus.” Biman blurted out and Edward nodded with his head. Pegasus was a extremely rare species of horse, their bloodlines could be compared to a divine beast in terms of purity.
