Chapter 218 - PREMONITION OF DEATH (1/2)

GREECE

ATHENS

The winds of the city of Athens have always felt familiar for her. She remembers that when she was a child, her mother would take a trip down to Athens a few times in a year.

She comes from a relatively wealthy household.

When Greece suffers from bankruptcy her family emigrated to overseas and they live in Australia for a couple of years.

When the financial situation recovered, her father returned back, always loving the smell of the sea.

It was a simpler times back then. She smirks as her straw sandals stomp onto the ground in annoyance.

Her face is being shrouded by the purple hood. If one could see her eyes one would see her cloudy eyes that resembled the clouds that moves in the wind.

That eyes seems to see through Times and Destiny

Her oversized long purple robe does not touch the ground as it floated by an invisible power. She closes her eyes, and opens it again, the swirls of clouds in her eyes lessened.

She look in front of her and sighed before walking forward again.

Walking beside her, is a young man with curly hair and muscly physique wearing a glistening grey armor that seems to enhance the man valorous spirit

Even thought that man covered his face one could feel that the one beneath those cover is a valiant and a heroic person

The man golden hair flows elegantly as it being blown by the sea winds.

'My Lady….should we continue? People seems to have noticed you. Is it not wiser to ask the others to come and secure your safety?'

The woman smiles and she smirks before she take a step forward not saying anything. The man did not press on the woman, following the woman with devotion.

The woman is the world famous Oracle Erika, the woman who sees the future, feared and revered and the man beside her is Antonius her loyal protector

'Time has gone awry. I see Demons and Saints, a great war that split the Sky and divides Gods and Mortals. I need to seek the source and peer more through the Veil' she said.

Antonius did not respond.

He knows that the Oracle mutterings and words couldn't be understood not until the time came for her words to be understood.

Erika waves her sleeve and her energy rises up and in those cloudy eyes of her were two Disk spiraling through her pupils, showing her countless possibilities and paths of one's life.

She walked, and walked, her steps did not waver, her heart refined with each steps, her eyes become clear as her heart is refined.

She needed to walk this journey even though she is afraid.

Because she wanted to know…why? She already knows what will about to happen so the only question is why?

Why she do it?

One might not understand her thinking but that is probably because they were not Erika…the famous Oracle.

She wanted to know who the person with ten rings…but most importantly she wanted to know why she will give her eyes to that person.

Why? This question haunted her at night…..and it was her own smile in her vision that haunted her the most.

She already almost completely sure that the person with ten rings is none other than The Death Monarch.

She already heard the news of what happened in Poland. Since she knows….now she knows where to go.

She keeps walking through the center of the city where a large gigantic portal twelve meter tall is set up in the middle of the large square.

When people noticed that it was the Oracle, they all drop down their eyes, their head is half bowed not daring to look into the eyes of the Oracle.

Antonius is vigilant, his eyes scans the surrounding if there is any suspicious person.

As she walk closer to the teleportation portal platform and as more people recognize her, the people created path for her to walk straight to the portal.

They all kneeled like giving way to a holy existence.

A guard was protecting the portal and was busy collecting the fees when he spotted the two people.

He was about to yell to queue but when he saw the floating robe that did not touch the ground and the color of the robe, and saw that tall muscly guard beside the woman, he immediately knows who the two person is.

Not to mention he could now see the sea of people kneeling below the ten feet platform

He kneeled

'Great Oracle' Erika only nodded slightly as she walk forward, climbing the steps and almost approaching the portal

She stand a few meters from the kneeling guard and then she ask

'Do I need to pay?' She said innocently but what comes out of her mouth was that calm and ancient voice.

The guard flinched a bit, his eyes look at the ground, fearing to watch that famous eyes of the Oracle.

'Of course not great Oracle' he replied with respect and a hint of fear.

Oracle smiles

'Is the Teleportation Portals of the Island of Peace is still open?' she ask. She saw a few symbols on the portals gate that has dimmed.

'It is closed off Great oracle.' The guard replies. Erika nodded. She expected it.

'The Three Chain Islands?' Erika asked

'It is still open. But it will be closed in a few hours.' The guard quickly explained

'Is it because the matters of the Death Monarch?' Erika ask with a smirk in her face.

The guard nodded

'Then open the portal of Blue Island for me.' She said

Antonius was anxious.

'My Lady….will that be alright? We don't know the situations in the Island. I fear…'

But Erika calmly said

'I will find a way to enter the Island of Peace.' Antonius could only nod when The Great Oracle insist.

The guard pretend he did not hear anything. The guard knows to survive in this harsh world sometimes one have to be deaf, blind and mute.

Erika then orders the guard

'Open it for me'

The guard opens the portals.

Slowly she enters that liquid like substance that fills the portals. Feeling a bit nauseated as she enters, her right foot falls down and she was at the Blue Island

All around her was large tall trees that covered the land.

The branches with thick leaves obstruct the sunlight from coming down yet the flora of the forest was unaffected with this phenomena.

And blue stones could be found almost anywhere on the island. Behind her Antonius appeared almost a second later.

Erika then look left and right and said

'We need to go to the Island. I guess I need to find a way' She opens her eyes and her cloudy eyes turns completely white as she peers through the Veil and the Disk inside her eyes spirals.

She no longer overdraft her longevity and youth as easily as before now that she has enter Disk Formation.

Then she closes her eyes. She shift through the Visions of the future, making sure that she will not enter those future that involves those Seven Godly Beings.

Then she saw it. An opportunity. A path to reach the Island. She saw a shabby man wearing patched clothes collecting some crystal coral nearby the shores of the Blue Island.

She saw that is where her solution lies. Then she opens her eyes and her eyes returns to being cloudy.

'Find a thirty year old shabby man wearing patched clothes collecting some crystal coral nearby the shores of the Blue Island. There lies our way to the Island'

Antonius nodded and began preparing. He has no reason to doubt the word of the Oracle. She has never been wrong before.

Now that Antonius began moving, Erika walked down the platform of the teleportation portal as she walk slowly and calmly.

She opens her hood as she let the wind breeze blows over her. The sea breeze reminds her of Athens….and a life which is so far away from her now.

Erika knows that if she were to seek Death Monarch in Poland, she would miss him.

Not to mention the space around Poland was sealed, by the moment she arrived, the Death Monarch would not be there anymore.

And how does she knows? Because she could see the future. She knows...he would be there.

On the Island. And he also saw the premonition of death.

'Hirate….could you survive this calamity? It seems your time is slowly dwindling.'

And she laugh a bit before walking away.

***********************************************************************

SOMEWHERE ON THE ISLAND OF PEACE

A snake slithers the ground nearby the Field of Thunder belonging to the Thunder Monarch Oreki.

In the field, thunders strikes every second, and very effective training spot of the Thunder Monarch.

Yet, these thunder did not strike this one tiny small slithering snakes that keep moving forward to reach the ordinary hut on the end of the field.

Oreki was sitting cross legged absorbing the thunder energy around the field, his eyes shining golden thunder and his body was as sharp as a sword and his body seems to repel all negative energy.

He enters into state of conscious and unconsciousness every minutes. Everyone have their own way to strengthen their foundation.

Azief has his own way and Oreki have his own way.

Since he did not pursue the Perfection he did not possess Azief powerful physical body that could even sometimes ignore Laws infused power and normal attack.

To compete with Death Monarch in a battle of physical body is akin to throw a mountain into one own feet.

But while Oreki did not pursue the path of perfection…does it mean he could not reach the level where he could at least fight with Death Monarch with his physical body?

Oreki…in a way was lucky. In the two years of the absence of the Death Monarch, he went into many expedition hunting beast in the forbidden continent…Australia.

In one of his expedition he managed to kill a twelve Legged Thunder Spider.

Nowadays….monster did not drop gold or silver anymore. And the rate of things dropping form a slayed monster has dropped considerably.

But…this time Oreki truly hit the jackpot. The Spider dropped something

The Nine Thunder Body Refinement Method.

The method involves Oreki creating Nine Body made of Thunder Energy. In other words a clone of himself made of Thunder.

Usually a true clone body could only be made in Divine Comprehension realm. But with the technique it made it possible for Oreki to create true clone.

Of course while it is true clone it did not possess the uniqueness of the true clone of someone who attained the realm of Divine Comprehension.

The True Clone of the Divine Comprehension realm was made of Law. Oreki clone is made of energy essence.

The difference is like Heaven and Earth.

But, Oreki still practices it.

He will create Nine Body made of Thunder Essence and when all Nine Body reached Energy Disperse Stage, he would fuse them all inside his true body.

This is Oreki greatest secret.

Of all the powerhouse in the World Government, the least eye catching and relatively quiet in the past few years after the fall of Island of Peace in the Fake World was Oreki.

In that silence of his, lies an indomitable will.

Why did his body need all to reach Energy Disperse Stage? Because that is where the Perfection of Body starts

The Nine Thunder Body Refinement while was not as overbearing as the Perfection Path that Azief pursues, that is only true when compared to Azief.

If he manages to fuse all nine, other than Azief being number one in terms of physical body, no one could claim number two if Oreki manages to fuse the nine clones into his true body.

All over the world, his clone disguise themselves and slaying monsters and accumulating experience.

Two years is not enough…even four years is not enough.
