33 Kekeke! (1/2)
”Kekeke!” An irritating and sharp laughter rang out, echoing throughout a small golden room. This room was a very simply place, with only one simple metallic door as an exit. There were no windows and hovering just centimeters from the far wall of the room was several hologram-like images that showed various scenes.
Upon these monitors, one could see scenes of orange and red trees, cliffs and other such foliage. In these surroundings were random Magical Beast's, roaming about and hunting, living their daily lives while on the center and largest hologram, a familiar sight was displayed upon it. In this screen, the scene of around a hundred people trudging their way through the various landscapes could be seen.
The most striking aspect of this room was the figure watching these monitors. In the middle of the room, it sat upon some sort of sleek device that floated but just a few centimeters from the floor. It was a smooth, white device that came to a point at the bottom and got gradually wider until it reached the devices top part, where a soft cushion laid upon it. And sitting on this comfortable cushion is the being responsible for the loud, cackling laughter that had just reverberated throughout this golden room.
This being was bizarrely transparent and gave a dim azure glow, its posture was extremely relaxed as it sat upon the hovering device, one knee up with its lanky right hand draped over it. Its body was covered in short red fur and it has a long tail that swings back and forth like the wagging tail of an excited dog.
”Its nearly time!” The transparent monkey-like creature cackles, a mischievous glint in its red eyes. ”Lets see how I bully them this time! Kekeke!”
★★★
As predicted by the two Sky Magician's, travelling up the rest of Thunder Mountain proceeded without a hitch and just in time for the sun's descent, the over a hundred Magician's arrived at their long awaited destination with ample time.
As everyone settled down, Hidden Blade speaks up for the last time, telling everyone to spend the next four days diligently in their cultivation. As nobody wanted to waste this chance to experience improvement, people were quick to assume a cross legged seating position and soon, a scene of many people cultivating with serious expressions could be seen.
”This amount of external aura is negligible to Magician's of our rank...”Hidden Blade said as he returned to Mist Step's side. ”...Should be just keep a watch over the surroundings, make sure nothing unexpected happens?”
”Hmm.” Mist Step nodded his agreement.
Soon, unnoticed by the surrounding Magician's, those two Magician's had spread their senses throughout a large area of the Thunder Mountain's peak. They did not dare to spread their Conscious Eye's senses too far, lest they aggravate the dormant Thunder Scaled Half-Dragon Queen whose location was presently unknown.
Meanwhile...
★★★
”Ah, those bastards!” The monkey-like beast growled, waving one of its fists threateningly. ”I forgot about this part... Boohoo... I'm going to have to wait even longer?... Can't they do this part after I've whipped their bum's, the aura's not going anywhere! Boohoo!...”
★★★
As a certain impatient monkey cries, the little kitten, like everyone else was diligently cultivating alongside Jonathan, Uncle Kil and the rest of the Wilderwolf soldier's.
'Amazing, while cultivating in this external aura, the improvement I would see in around 10 minutes can be achieved in around 6 minutes...' The little kitten exclaimed in thought. 'I think... By the end of those four days, I might be able to reach the peak of Late Stage... Possibly.'
★★★
Soon, four days passed by like the breeze. Time seemed to pass by in seconds for the cultivating Magician's due to the effects of their meditation. Throughout the whole four days, every single person didn't dare to waste their chance to improve their cultivation, which was of the greatest importance to any Magician and Magical Beast.
