"Damn, they look insane." Andre said.
"They sure do." I said.
We exited the Isolated Space and see Ashley descending down.
"How did it go?" Ashley asked.
"No problems." I said.
"Same here." Andre added. "Also Ashley, I got something that needed your help."
Andre pulls out a black journal from his inner pocket.
"What is that, a journal?" Ashley said.
"Yeah, it's from Song Jin-Ho. He's a half-blood Outworlder." Andre answered.
"A Korean name...where is he now?" Ashley said.
"Dead. I killed him because he came for my life." Andre said.
Ashley realized that Andre fought an Outworlder Hero and decided not to question further.
"Give it here." Ashley said.
Andre gave Ashley the journal for her to decipher the language. Ashley blinked and blue light came from her eyes like flashlights.
After a few moments, she furrowed her eyebrows as she is not impressed.
"Are you sure this isn't his rough draft for his novel?" Ashley said.
"What is it? What does it say?" I asked.
"This journal says that portals came from nowhere in 2025." Ashley said while she skimmed the pages. "In 2035, rebellion against the Blue Giants guild in South Carolina? This is just another portal-dungeon trope."
"I asked him about the rebellion we had in 2023 and he said that there was no rebellion." Andre said.
"The rebellion never existed? How can it not exist? Every country was covering it!" I said.
"Yeah, it was still being covered for a couple years and it was intense for a while." Andre said.
"If what you said is true, then this Song Jin-Ho is from our world, but in a different timeline." Ashley said.
"It's the best I can come up with." Andre shrugged his shoulders.
I was shocked. A timeline where a rebellion never existed, but there are things that can lead into a rebellion not happening. Damn, with the clues we're getting, we're gonna be facing even more answers.
Ashley began skimming through the journal and her eyes widened.
"Andre, this journal is mentioning you in there as a...Blood God?" Ashley said.
Andre nodded.
"A Blood God? The highest evolution stage for Vampires is Blood High Emperor." I said. "This would mean that he has to become a Deity."
"And it confirms it. It was run by a cult and has subsequently made him become one. Usually, the other Deities would've prevented that." Ashley went back to reading more of his journal. And found something more of it.
"This entry shows that he went into the golden portal that led to this world. Meaning that he was truly transported here to kill you before you become the Blood God." Ashley said. "Then there's me."
Ashley closes the journal.
"You were mentioned in that journal?" I said. Ashley shook her head.
"There's another of myself in a timeline different than Song Jin-Ho and ours." Ashley said.
Silence filled the cave. Things are going out of control and heroes coming from different timelines are here to kill us. But I remember who sent them
"I think who's responsible." I said. "Myridermas. I knew because of Aerizaka, one of Myridermas's children."
"Of course...when I heard those heroes about an elderly man, I deducted that it's either, Myridermas, Zeres, or the Elf God Vegelion." Ashley said. "I believe these lights in the sky scattered across the world with the intent to separate us."
"Then it means I have to get more of the sanguine weapons. The nearest one is the Sanguine Explosion in the center of Dystoark." Andre said.
"Looks like we're going back." I said.
"What you mean?" Andre asked.
"I went to Dystoark to build a secret base, away from kingdoms. Away from conflict and made new friends." I said. "But that went out the window."
"How so?" Ashley asked.
"Solufreya appeared and trapped me within the space. Killed me too." I said.
"Wait, wait, wait! Solufreya!? The valkyrie!?" Andre yelled.
"Yeah, she sealed a good number of my skills including my Tyrant Aura with that Ultimate Skill called Holy Law of Dominance Aura." I explained.
The two of them are shocked from receiving this news.
"There's no way Solufreya has that skill. Only Arukatha has it." Ashley said. Then she realized it "Arukatha gave it to her and sent her to kill you."
"I was completely isolated, but even with some of my skills back, I still lost." I said. "I even went fully berserk."
When it comes to Solufreya, she'll make sure no enemy of hers resurrects by destroying their soul. Argeizeth has no doubt saved me from that fate, but I can't hope he'll do it again.
"Will she return?" Ashley said. "She's a Rank EXT and took 10 of our top ranking members, including us to kill her. What makes you think we can take her on?"
"I never said we can take her. Besides, she 'killed' me and I resurrected." I said. "Meaning, her job is done."
"As long we don't encounter a large group and leave any stragglers, we'll be fine." I added.
"How will we hide from the other people since we're Tyrants?" Andre said.
"Your auras can't reach far unless there are heroes around." I replied.
We walked outside the cave and Ashley transformed into her dragon form. We climbed onto her back and she flapped her wings to lift us into the air.
I used Space Magic to get us higher into the air.
*Voom!*
We travel high into the night sky where the moon is bright and the stars are numerous. On our way back to Dystoark and here to meet the chieftains again.
And speaking of chieftains, I'm pretty sure Friis saw my body when Hyoran was mourning me. If that's the case, I'm sure every chieftain knew of my death too.
I'm gonna have to explain them about this when I meet them. As for the streaks of light, I'm sure they'll encounter at least one of the heroes.
*Voom!*
I transported us into Velizar Plains with my Space Magic again. I smiled from the slight nostalgia from visiting this place and meeting different races in the giant forest.
I am excited to see them again.
That is until I see faint flickering lights coming from the trees, seeing embers and smoke. I could've assumed that they have a large bonfire, but they're not careless enough to risk a forest fire.
Yet, I assumed the worst. They've been attacked.
"Ashley! The heroes are already here!" I yelled.
"I can also see multiple spots being on fire as well! We'll go for the one closest!" Ashley replied.
Ashley dived downwards towards the closest fire which is most likely Friis's village. Last time I saw his stats, he is a C rank. He'll stand no chance against a hero like that!
I surely hope he and his people are safe!
