Chapter 83: Tania Village (2/2)
”Those who attacked our village were looking for Rakuzen's successor… we don't know why but we don't think they will treat you well if they get you” She said, leaving Lucien stunned.
Not only did he just realize he is part of an ancient prophecy but he also found out his life is in danger for something he knows nothing about.
”What are your intentions when you get to my village? You are meant to protect our village… it is your destiny” She said but it sounded more like a plea in his ears.
Lucien only nodded in agreement and said nothing else. The duo kept traveling for another hour but soon fatigue from their previous battle caught up to them, forcing them to sleep while Lucien used the shadow cloak and the module Q1 to keep the ability active and keep them safe while they sleep.
The next morning, they continued traveling and only reached the village in the afternoon, making Lucien wonder how far did this lady go just to find someone that hurt her grandfather. He also put into account the fact that these people were far stronger than her, meaning she would most likely be killed if she found them and attack those invaders as she did to them. With all that Lucien concluded that the girl he was traveling with for a while now can be considered dumb and rash, so he took note of that and followed her silently into the village.
Tania village could be considered a small village surrounded by about two to three-meter tall brick walls with no form of enchantment added to them. Following the lady who he didn't even bother to ask her name, he easily gained access to the village while drawing the attention of everyone as he moved. His long shoulder-length silver hair and his snow-white eyes and expensive silver Kimono were not something they could ignore. As a formal noble, every step Lucien took and every movement he made looked so graceful not many could get themselves to ignore him.
Soon a relatively large crowd followed the duo until they reached the largest building in the town which should be the only castle here, looking old, tattered, and abandoned. With a glance Lucien could see green moss and grass growing on the walls, making him wrinkle his face in disgust.
”Chenoa! You dare leave the village without my consent and come back with a man who doesn't even know our ways?” An elderly man walked out of the castle with two guards following him tightly. He was bald, had very long gray beards, and looked so frail and fragile, he had to walk with the support of a cane.
”Spirituality cultivation focuses on training only the soul, so the body still gets old and perishes but our cultivation focuses on the body and magic and that's why we have people looking fifty while they are actually two hundred years old” Lucien muttered in understanding
But the old man heard his words and frowned.
”This little child has no manners! Maybe I should remind who your elder is” The old man growled as his eyes let out blue light and from his body erupted blue spirit energy which took the shape of a massive bear!
”I didn't come here to be intimidated by an old man who can barely walk!” Lucien growled as his eyes released colorful lights and three spectacular creatures appeared around him.
It was the Raizen God beast, the general level nightmare demon, and the general level hell hound!
”The Lord has returned!” The old man screamed in ecstasy as all the malicious aura released by him vanished instantly. He threw his cane aside and fell on his knees.
Just like him, everyone present did the same, including the young lady who brought him here
