Xanthus

As the dust begins to settle Percy begins to sense that something is wrong. Right before impact he sensed a fluctuation of energy and his sword colliding with a barrier.

"Oh what's this someone else who doesn't belong here" the mysterious voice hummed

Startled at the sudden arrival of apocalypse's savior, Percy flys back and sends out his senses to see if he can determine who it is.

"There's no point in doing that, don't you know I can detect your usage of that?" The voice chuckles before continuing

"It seems you do not belong here either on this earth. Or should I say this multiverse in general?"

Unsure of how to react to this information, Percy prepares for another long hard battle that could very well be his last.

"I'm guessing The One sent you to stop me? Not that I blame him considering my plans. Very well let's see who's stronger then!" The voice says as sends Percy flying through the building with a sonic boom producing kick

"I don't even know who you are?" Percy asks recovering from the sudden blow that sent him across the compound

"I've long since forgotten my real name, but you can call me Xanthus" Xanthus replies sending a kick towards Percy

Sending slash after slash at Xanthus, he gets a good kick in on Percy sending his sword flying across the room.

"And now he has dropped his sword, whatever shall you do now?" Xanthus says smirking

As Xanthus dashes toward Percy to deal mortal blow, Percy's claws begin glowing

{It's now or never, I hope it works} Percy thinks to himself

Sending a upward slash with his dragon claw at Xanthus, he manages to produce a few blade lights from his claws consuming most of his cultivation base. With Percy's attack being a attack of desperation, the lights manage to collide solidly with Xanthus' arm sending it flying.

"Oh it seems you can do something if you put your mind to it after all." Xanthus laughs as he collects his arm before he continues "As much as I would like to continue this fight with you it seems I have overstayed my welcome here. Very well tell The One Above that I will forgo my original plans as per our agreement. I will give you one piece of advice however before I go boy, do not put too much trust in him for he is a very much a trickster. Ta ta for now, I do hope I get to see you again for another fight once your stronger my dear Percy" Xanthus chuckles as he tears a rip in space time and disappears.

As the danger from before was finally gone as the sight of his allies landing near him Percy collapses from the lack of energy. Waking up Percy finds himself in a hospital bed with a agent of shield posted outside his door.

{That Xanthus seemed to know who I am, and not just from this life but from my past life as well. I guess I shouldn't find it too strange considering what he said about having a arrangement with The One Above, but the last thing he said bothers me. What arrangement does he have, and what does he mean by him being a trickster. When I see him again I guess I'll ask about the arrangement, but he can never know about him telling me he is a trickster or my life may be at risk.} Percy thinks to himself as he sits up

Noticing Percy stirring the agent lets Percy know that he was ordered to bring him to Fury once he woke up.

"Well, well, well welcome back to the world of the living. I must thank you for your assistance with that matter yesterday, some of our heavy hitters were unavailable at the moment so you being there really helped fill in the gaps" Fury says gesturing for Percy to take a seat.

"No need for thanks, once a avenger always a avenger. Though I'm not too sure how that stands with me being in the wrong universe" Percy replies

"None the less you did a fine job today. Without you there I'm afraid we would have been in a heap of trouble. If you need any more help with anything do no be afraid to ask" Fury says

"At the moment there is nothing I can think of, but I will be sure to let you know. In the mean time I will return to where I was before this, just call me if you need any more help with world ending events" Percy says as he summons a portal back to Baigaku's house

Alerting Baigaku of his presence, Percy returns to the river where he found his sword art to do some closed door cultivation. With the energy he could sense from the stones he found in the riverbed he feels like he may be able to breakthrough a level at minimum and 2 levels if he is lucky. Before closing up however he figures now is a good as time as any to investigate the mirror and the ring that was found along side the sword art. Putting the ring on and channeling his energy through it, Percy feels a sudden pain in his finger as the ring absorbs some of his energy and blood as he suddenly feels a connection to the ring.

{Oh its a storage ring kinda like the one I already have, just a little smaller. Nat would love it. Wonder if there is anything fancy about the mirror.} Percy thinks to himself as he wipes out his connection to this space ring.

Sending energy into into the mirror he feels it begin to absorb energy until he slowly begins to worry. Just before he cuts the connection with the mirror, however, the mirror stops absorbing his energy as it begins to glow. As the glow begins to die down the mirror changes from a ancient looking hand mirror into a dragon necklace. Putting the necklace on, information begins to flow into his brain. Amulet of nrakyatu, transforms itself into something that is inconspicuous to be had on the wielder. Increases the wearers resistance to harmful energy and any forms of telepathic attacks, as well as translates languages into one that the wearer can understand.

Happy with the 2 objects, Percy begins humming a little tune as he begins his cultivation session in hopes that he can break through a few levels.
