Chapter 26 The Rukh Shards (1)

And so after that event in Baal's life. He had woken up in a camp with bandages around his body. By the looks of it, most of his injuries were already healed at the time. When Baal had finally realized where he was, he immediately thought to himself, "Huh... where am I? How am I still alive? I felt that I would have died just like my Father said back then when I used that forbidden technique. But I wonder where I am. I don't even have anything to live for now since everyone from the Tribe had already died."

And as Baal had just thought of this, he suddenly saw a smiling blue-haired boy, which Baal remembered to be, according to his hazy memories. The one who may have helped him there since he was the last person he had seen before he had fainted.

The Blue-haired boy who seems to be named Solomon from his last memories before fainting said with a grin."Oh, mister, you finally awake, huh? So are you part of the Dragonoid tribe in the northern forest right, so can you tell us what you know about happened in the north since. My companions here and I were heading to your Dragonoid Tribe to invite your Tribe to the resistance army which my companions over there and I is part of."

"And we also came here to help your Tribe, since according to a source of information we got, it seems the phoenix tribe which your Tribe seems to have a bad relationship with. Had allied with our enemies, the Empire, so we are technically on the same side. So we could ask you to join us to subdue them since believe me, you will not stand a chance against them once the Empire had helped their overall strength against your Tribe."

When Baal heard this, he suddenly became very petty and angry. He suddenly stood up while holding on to Solomon's clothes very strongly, as he said, which made the other companions of Solomon in the camp about to launch some magic attacks towards Baal. As they thought Baal was ungrateful to their Master Solomon. The latter had helped this Wild Dragonoid, earlier on the brink of death, by using his Life rukh magic on the dying Dragonoid back then.

But as they were about to send out the magic attacks towards Baal, they suddenly heard inside their minds a telepathic message from Solomon saying. 'Stop, I sense that this Dragonoid doesn't have any ill will against me but seems to be having an extremely angered and sad. And this guy's emotions inside are in a wreck too, and I guess my question was a bit too rude, ain't after all. After finding this guy, we already saw the massacre of people in this Northern Forest and the massive destruction. This Dragonoid was even the last one we saw in the forest to have remained alive, although barely. So let's just let him let put his grief since although I haven't experienced it. I think if someone has lost his entire family and Tribe, that someone would probably be pretty aggrieved and in intense emotional pain if that happened to them.'

When the companions of Solomon had heard what Solomon had told them through their mental message. They all nullified their attacks, but they still held their wands close to them in a ready and attentive stance. Just in case that Solomon was wrong about his feeling with this lone surviving Dragonoid, which to them was still a very suspicious character. As they all thought, how could everything in the forest be dead except for this one Dragonoid, found in the outer part of the Northern Forests.

Then as they did that, Baal, who was the lone Dragonoid, said with a grieving tone

"Huh, so you here to go to our Tribe, But you're too late! Two days ago, the Phoenix tribe and four of the servant tribes in our home, the Northern Forest, had attacked my Dragonoid Tribe, leaving no one alive from my Tribe. left including my Father, the previous Patriarch, and my Brother, who was the current Patriarch to my now extinct race."

"Dammit, if you guys had just come a few days ago, my Tribe might have been able to survive, even with the few members in your ragtag groups from the resistance army. I know with my eyes that all of you here have a terrifying amount of magoi in your bodies, which obviously could have taken care of them….."

"And do you guys even wanna know why everyone in the forest was dead right and the forest being in such a bad state as well, huh, Well I guess I can tell it all to you. I was the one who did that. Hahaha, using my Tribe's secret technique, I managed to get revenge on those Bastards, but…..At what cost? Hahaha, I'm pathetic, aren't I." And as Baal had just finished saying this, he suddenly let go of the part of Solomon's clothes and became silent.

When Solomon heard everything this Dragonoid said along with his companions, they all became silent as none of the people in their group didn't know how to help this Dragonoid, who seems depressed. Still, surprisingly Solomon then said with a laughing looking, which seemed to be extremely rude to a normal person's perspective after just hearing a person grieving about a person's family death.

"Huh, so that's just it, and now that I took a good look at you, aren't you Baal the Thunder Emperor of the Dragonoid Tribe, right? How about how you stop moping around about something that already happened and nothing you can do about it. Then since you seem to be a pretty strong guy, so how about you join my resistance army and get revenge on the phoenix tribe if you want to, under me, the future king of this world."

And so after that they surprisingly Baal became the first Household member of Solomon and became one of the most feared generals under the Resistance Army keeping his old title as the Thunder Emperor, and in the future also managed to find surviving members of his Dragonoid race which he had thought to have been extinct throughout at that fatefully day. He drove to revive his Tribe from scratch, although that effort was mostly useless due to III Ilah back then. But in this current world, the surviving members of Baal's bloodline along with the Finalis at the time who evolved to a human form, Baal's bloodline also experienced the same transformation and now in the current world had been known as the Imuchakk tribe.

Flashback end

Then after suddenly seeing all these scenarios in his Mindscape, he finally discovered who the voice that came from behind really is as he then said as he turned around while bowing as well, "Master Solomon, you're here, how can It be we all thought according to Ugo that you had sacrificed you Rukh to sealing III Ilah back then, so how could you be alive Master."

But as Baal turned his eyes up and saw the figure of his Master Solomon, unlike Solomon's old look which he had expected to see he saw Solomon looking completely different, having long blond hair, similar to his old hairstyle, But having a mixture type of face which had some characteristics of Solomon's aged appearance as a seven-teen-year-old, with some traits from a different person who was seventeen years old as well although Baal himself who. But due to this being his Mindscape, he was able to recognize that it was his Master's Rukh who was in front of him now, although feeling that it was slightly different as well.

When Baal saw this, he then asked Solomon who was in front of him now while having a confused face. " Master Solomon, may I ask, but why is your current form different from your previous form when you had to talk to me like this before when we were in Alma Torran? Is this some disguise or look you wanted to pull after meeting after thousands of years."

When Solomon heard this, he then said with his past mischievous tone of voice, "Oh this well, the reason my Rukh looks like this is because I actually reincarnated 2 years ago, although I know that you can't say this but like everyone else who died in Alma Torran, My Rukh was also absorbed inside of III Ilah. But unlike them, I suddenly got out of III Ilah in an uncertain way, and so after that, and spending an unknown amount of time in the void left behind of our world back then. I was suddenly guided by some Rukh's who suddenly came out from a space crack, which seemed to have been the reason I reincarnated in this new world along with another rukh who fused with my original Rukh, so now don't call me Solomon now, since that is my last name, contact me by my current name now Baal, Alibaba Saluja the Third Prince of Balbadd Kingdom/country.
