Better luck next time!!
Jay in his dragon form released a monstrous roar that visually shopk the entire room. The Hidden Guardian grinned widely and rushed towards the mindless Jay.
A white mist overtook his hands. He then aimed it directly at Jay's massive dragon head and forced it inside.
"ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARR"
He roared with anguish filling his booming tone. His eyes were almost bloody and his viciousness continued to rise.
When it seemed as though he was about to completely lose all chance of reclaiming his clarity however, his monstrous roars went silent.
His head fell slightly with a weird aura of darkness enveloping his giant dragon body.
"U-urgh..! W-what happened..?"
A loud and deep yet ancient voice echoed within the room. The giant dragon raised it's head with cold sweat drenching its entire being.
The Hidden Guardian sighed in relief before sitting upon the ground in a lotus position.
"Good to have you back kid.."
"H-huh? Wait… I- Holy..!! Did it work?!"
"Damn right it did! Here, have a look!"
A giant mirror condensed out of thin air. Staring at his reflection, his eyes sparkled with amazement.
His dark purple irises had such a ferocious and wild look to it, it could make even gods tremble. His four giant dragon wings that hid a mysterious glow didn't go unnoticed by him. After all, it was his body.
His towering size made him feel like he was superior to all. He couldn't help the vicious snarl which crept up his face. He was thoroughly satisfied with his dragon form.
"Haha!! I look so damn badass!!"
"Hehe! I did a good job, didn't I?"
"Damn right old man! But why can't I change into my human form?"
"Hm? Oh! I forgot to mention! Since dragons are superior beings they are born at the Mythical Realm!"
"WHAT?! Does this mean that there's higher realms??!"
"Well duh! Wouldn't you like, know this..?"
"Oh right! Im so dumb! Cultivation worlds… endless amounts of realms haha!"
"*sigh* You're really an idiot.. well then prepare to head out.. I'll be sending you off now!"
"Huh? Now?!"
"Yes now! Those Universal Protectors are still searching for your dumbass!"
"Fuck! Wait, not yet! I have a request to ask of you!"
"Hm? Speak.. what is it?"
"Allow me to contact my family one last time! I also want you to give them something for me if you don't mind.."
"Oh? Sure kid! Tell me what you wish to give them, that's so important!"
Jay lowered his massive dragon head and whispered his 'gift' into the ears of the Hidden Guardian, shocking him greatly.
He looked up towards the giant dragon and asked, "You sure about this kid? If they trigger something the Universal Protectors might all sense their locations!"
However Jay was resolute even after hearing this. He nodded with determination in his eyes and replied, "I'm positive! Now hurry up! I want to talk to them!"
"Alright! I'll be taking all of your system points for a little compensation, okay?"
"Mn!"
"Then… let me connect you…"
[NOTICE: The Hidden Guardian is now connecting your mind with several lower realm monsters! Do you wish to proceed without further delay?]
Helix's voice was like a holy mantra to Jay. He smiled widely showing off his massive teeth.
"Yeah!!"
[Understood sir! Beginning link! Link has been formed!!]
{Within a far and distant world}
A beautiful young woman with milky white hair and amethyst colored irises walked through a forest with a blue haired middle aged man following her from behind respectfully.
On her right was a young teenage girl with raven black hair and ruby red irises.
Her pupils were of vertiful slits and her gaze held one of happiness yet a hidden loneliness noticed by none.
The trio were obviously Tora, Sven and Miku. Within the 10 years which had passed since Jay's disappearance their cultivations had all risen past the Spirit Realm.
They now held cultivation at the Mystical Realm.
Tora had a warm smile on her face looking towards Miku. She was about to speak when a sudden sound went off in her head. In all of their heads actually.
[Ding! Forming a connection with the host. Connection has been formed. Greetings Mistress. There is someone trying to contact you. Do you wish to accept the call?]
Tora listened to the robotic voice with bewilderment evident on her angelic face.
Miku and Sven were also shocked and immediately looked at each other before glancing towards Tora.
Tora also turned back to them with a suspicious look plastered onto her face. "Did you hear that?" They all questioned simultaneously.
Shock.
Immense shock filled their hearts as their eyes widened immensely. "W-what the hell is this?"
Tora blurted aloud with a weirded out gaze. However Sven the obvious fanboy stepped up and spoke.
"Mistress, Princess! I believe this is a sign! This strange voice said that someone was trying to contact us! What if it's the Master?!"
Tora and Miku widened their eyes to a certain extent that it almost looked like their eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.
Tora who suddenly had tears welling up at the corner of her eyes said in a shaky voice. "Y-you mean…."
"Mn!" Sven also had tears in his eyes. Miku who stood frozen at the side immediately snapped out of her daze and selected 'yes' instantly connecting her with the messenger.
"Hey Miku.. I missed you…" A deep and monstrous voice sounded within her head. But to Miku that voice was like a sweet melody which brought back good reminiscences.
Her tears fell down her young and immature face beautifully. She then asked in an emotional tone, "D-Daddy… is that you…?"
She asked this aloud which almost immediately drew the attention of the soon to be sobbing Tora and Sven.
"Who else would it be, sweetheart? Judging by how you sound it seems you've grown into a fine young woman… oh how I regret not being there for your childhood days.. I hope you won't hate or blame me for leaving… I had no choice…"
"Mm!" She shook her head and denied. "I would never hate you daddy.. I'm sure you left for a good reason… I just wanted to know if you're okay and when you'll be able to come back… uncle Sven and mommy misses you… I'm sure grandma and grandpa misses you as well…. Even my other uncles may miss you… please come back home soon…"
Miku once again spoke aloud with her emotional voice tugging at Tora's fragile heart.
She too had several lines of tears running down her cheek, looking towards her crying daughter.
She hastily accepted the call and was immediately connected with both Miku and Jay's one.
"A-Abaddon…? Are you there..?" Her voice was also shaky as she questioned painfully.
Jay's heart was aching as he too began to shed tears. However his tears were like waterfalls, shaking the room with every drop.
"Yeah Tora… I missed hearing that sweet voice of yours… I'm so sorry… I truly am…"
"You damn bastard! *hik* W-where have you been?! I've been searching for 10 years! Yet I couldn't find you! Where?!"
Though Tora sounded angry, inside her heart joy was filling it passed the brim. She felt the loneliness which had appeared during the 10 years disappear.
She loved this feeling so much. The thought of being able to hear the voice of the man she loves once again.
"Tora… I can't really tell you where I am right now but I can tell you the situation… but before I tell you I want to once again apologize for leaving so suddenly… it wasn't my intention actually. I had no other choice but to leave… because If I had stayed the world may have been destroyed and you all may have died… all because of me.. so I understand if you hate or resent me.. I just want you to know that I love you… so much..! And if i ever get the chance to return someday I promise that even if it's the heavens… I won't let anyone separate us ever again!!"
Tora's silent sobbing turned into loud wailing as she fell towards the ground, landing heavily on her knees.
After bawling for five minutes along with Miku and Sven who had also joined the call, Tora composed herself while still slightly shaking with emotions remaining within her mind.
She then spoke to him with a forced sternness in her tone which however quickly turned into shame and self-depreciation.
"Why would I hate you?! Do you hear yourself?! Even if you left for a million years I'd still love you! *sighs* I'm so sorry… for my selfish way of speaking earlier… I just missed you… alot.. and now knowing the circumstances I know that you won't be returning anytime soon which I-"
Jay cut her off immediately. He said with resolution in his voice, "No! I promise I'll try my hardest to return as soon as possible! I can't get into the details of the people chasing after me right now since I'm running low on time… I need to contact my brothers and parents… I'll tell them to meet up with you all.
"Oh and also, the voice within the three of your heads belongs to a being called a 'System'! To find out what the functions of your system are, just give it a name so it'll gain a personality and then you can ask it whatever you want to. I'll even ask my brothers to teach you all how to properly utilise them since they have experience with them.. understood?"
Hearing that he was leaving so soon they all felt heartbroken but knowing that super strong bad guys were trying to kill him their determination only grew.
They breathed out a breath simultaneously before Tora took the opportunity to speak. "Okay Abaddon.. stay safe wherever you are and no other women are allowed!!! Do you hear me?!"
Jay cold sweated hearing her words but still teased her. "Oh? Have you finally accepted me as your husband publicly?"
Tora blushed but still replied with a firm voice. "Humph! Of course! You're the only man who is worthy of me!"
"Aw~ Thank you babe… I love you."
Tora blushed again but felt so happy in her heart as she replied happily, "I love you too, dear!"
'FUCK! I'm sure Tora is beautiful as fuck in her human form!! THESE UNIVERSAL PROTECTORS ARE GOING TO PAY!!! I WANNA PUT MY DAUGHTER IN HER STOMACH SO BAD!! FUCKING UNIVERSE!!!!'
Jay raged within his mind. However at the moment of his mentat tantrum Miku's soft and delicate voice filled his head. "Daddy I love you too!! I hope I get alot of mommies! Also a lot of siblings, hehe! Be careful!"
Hearing this Jay started to sweatdrop beyond normal. He mentally scolded Miku as he felt a deadly glare from all over the universe originating directly from Tora. 'Damn it Miku! Are you trying to have your father get his head chopped off?!' But he still replied, "I love you too sweetheart!"
"Achoo!!" Miku cutely sneezed. Sven ignored their conversations as he started his own. "Master! Thank you for this gift! With this I can protect the Mistress and Princess! I promise to give it my all even if it costs my life!!"
"Sven, you're such a good brother. Don't worry, soon the safety of your Mistress and Princess will be reassured!"
Jay said with a wicked coldness emanating from his chilling tone.
Sven felt his blood boil but ended up staying quiet about it. The trio wished Jay off one more time before the call was directly ended.
{Far across on the other side of the world}
"It's been ten years since the world almost got f'd up! Jay's been real quiet since then…"
"Right?? I wonder if he's okay…"
{On another side of the planet}
"Hmm… I really wanna see the bros… I can't wait to meet up with them eventually!"
The owners of these thoughts and conversations were all handsome young men.
They were naturally Ethan, Alex and Josie. Just like Tora, Miku and Sven they too achieved a human form after reaching the Spirit Realm.
They are all now way above the Mystical Realm. As they were having their usual thoughts and reminiscences an emotionless voice rang out within the trio's head.
[Ding! Forming a connection with the host. Connection has been formed. Greetings Master
Someone is trying to contact you. Do you wish to accept it?]
However, unlike Tora and the rest's reaction, their first one was filled with excitement. Immediately, they accepted the call.
"Yo bros! Been a while huh?"
"JAY?!"
All of them at the same time shouted aloud with shock lacing their tones. They never expected their benefactor of the system would actually be their brother.
Jay chuckled hearing their reactions but spoke up instantly jumping into the topic. "Okay… I can't stay for too long but this is my little gift for you guys… I gifted Miku, my woman Tora and my servant Sven a system as well. I'll send you all their coordinates. I want you all to firstly go to their location, pick them up and then head back to mom and dad's side, okay..?"
Hearing his requests they wanted to say something but after feeling the sense of urgency within his voice they ultimately decided against it.
Ethan was the first one to speak up after he said all of his requests though. "But where are you? Why can't you be there to be the one who guides them and keeps them safe?"
"I'm not on the planet anymore. I've been taken to another one far away by a mysterious expert! Look, just meet up with Tora and the rest of 'em now for me! From there, you'll learn the entire story.. cya and be safe!"
"Alright! Cya bro!" They all shouted in unison. After they did so, detailed coordinates of Miku, Tora and Sven's location were sent to all three of them.
Alex and Ethan looked at each other and gave a slight nod before disappearing whereas Josie stood up and flashed his figure about.
'I've lost the bet bros… haha better luck next time for me I guess!'
{Within an old yet ancient looking cave}
A giant 14 meter tall black lion sat in a newly adjusted cave. Next to him was a massive 11 meter tall white lioness that held a loving expression on her face.
She suddenly spoke. "I miss our children so much~"
The lioness grumbled with loneliness flashing through her eyes. The giant lion resonated with her and spoke up, "So do I… Kira… but hais~ we must not dwell on their return time for-"
[Forming a connection with the host. Connection has been formed. Greetings Master. Someone is currently trying to contact you. Do you wish to accept?]
[Forming a connection with the host. Connection has been formed. Greetings Mistress. Someone is currently trying to contact you. Do you wish to accept?]
"WHO?!" They both screamed as wariness and battle intent shone within their eyes. Looking around they saw no one or nothing that could ultimately be the source of the almost lifeless voice.
Their wariness lowered but there was still suspicion within their gazes. Eraison, who was still looking around, eventually signed and began to think about the possibilities of whoever it might be.
But the moment he did he saw the same message which he heard from the mysterious voice popped up within his mind.
"What is this…?"
Kira who was on his side saw his changing faces of emotions and couldn't help but get curious. She too followed his actions and when she did she was beyond baffled. "What is this…?"
She unknowingly blurted aloud. That's when the robotic voice sounded once again. [I am the system sent by the ancestor as a gift and tool for you to use. The ancestor wishes to speak to you, do you wish to accept?]
Kira was left startled hearing this. 'Ancestor? Speak to me? The hell?' But in the end she still accepted.
"Mom!!"
Hearing the deep and loud voice call her mom, her eyes widened with extremity. Her shakiness was evident as she slowly spoke. "A-Abaddon..? I-Is that r-really you…?"
Tears welled up at the corner of her eyes. It's been so long since she heard from any of her children. How could she not cry?
"Uh-huh.. it's really me mom… I missed you!!"
"Abaddon, oh my little baby!! Look how manly you sound! I missed you so much child! I really did!"
Her tears were rolling out like there was no tomorrow. Yet, her happiness was shining as brightly as ever.
Eraison finally managed to notice her tears. He panicked and became angry as someone had made his beloved wife cry but was in the end shot a glare by his woman.
Confusion flooded his mind but once he heard what Kira said he nodded and hurriedly accepted. "Accept you dummy! It's our son!"
"Dad!!"
"Little monster! Quite the manly voice you have their son!"
"Naturally. I got it from the best after all!"
"Haha! Damn right! But how are we speaking without seeing each other face to face. Is this some sort of communication magic?"
"No. I've already told Elijah, Amon and Omar to meet up with my wife, Miku and my servant. Soon all of them will arrive at your place. They'll explain everything from there okay?"
"Hmm alright but-"
"Did you say wife?!"
Kira excitedly interjected. A bad premonition rose within Jay's heart but he still answered his mother's question. "Y-yes.. I have myself a beautiful wife.. why..?"
"Yay!! I want lots and lots of grandchildren! Maybe 50? Or a 100! The more the better hehe~"
At this point even Eraison couldn't help but sweatdrop hearing her wild and weird delusions. "Damn it woman! There is no way that that many grandchildren are needed!"
"Huh? Shut the hell up! You speak like they're tools. They are young and lovable cuties that are just right for pampering!"
"Damn it! I said no! Son, if you ever give me that many grandchildren I'm sending half off to the next continent!"
"Uh-"
"Eraison~"
"O-oh no… I-I… AHHHHHHHHH- *BEEP*"
The call ended with his father's fearful scream echoing throughout his ear. Jay raised his giant dragon hand and saluted his father as if sending a brave soldier onto the next life.
The Hidden Guardian did the same since he was listening to the conversation. After all was said and done Jay was ready to take off.
The Hidden Guardian swiped his hands through the air creating a giant, thick shield of transparent energy around his body.
A hole appeared within the wall of the room and from within it was a massive, starry galaxy. Both beings glanced at each other and nodded before the Hidden Guardian pushed Jay into the hole.
Swoosh
He disappeared at the speed of light, shaking up the entire room from that one outburst of sudden winds. "Goodluck young one.."
Jay pierced through space with his giant dragon body slowly adapting to the speed and unknown levels of gravity.
{Within a mysterious space}
Several figures sat as still and serene as water yet had eyes as menacing as can be. Their conversation was quite simple actually.
But the moment they felt a familiar type of energy fluctuating as it pierced throughout space the atmosphere around them was close to bursting from the feel of their killing intent.
{Back to Jay's side}
Jay was beginning to think his journey was going to be rather peaceful and calming, when suddenly several auras which felt like godly ones exploded out from the far distance behind him.
A massive amount of thick pitch black killing intent entered his body and tried to corrupt him but was instantly devoured by the system.
[Congratulations sir! You have formed the 6th seed of the Grim Reaper's Intent!]
[Congratulations sir you've formed the 7th seed of the Grim Reaper's Intent!]
[Congratulations sir you've formed the 8th seed of the Grim Reaper's Intent!]
[Congratulations sir you've formed the 9th seed of the Grim Reaper's Intent!]
[Congratulations sir you've...]
[Congratulations sir you've formed the 28th seed of the Grim Reaper's Intent!]
Jay ignored these notices though as dread clawed into his heart. Despair was close to overtaking his body. He mentally screamed, 'FASTER FASTER FASTER GODDAMN IT!!'
Just as soon as death was about to welcome him, a familiar yet devastating aura tore and ripped through the space behind him.
BOOOOOOOOOOM
The shockwaves blasted out from the newcomer boosted Jay's speed, hastily sending him towards his destination.
The newcomer glanced at Jay and smiled before turning back towards the multiple bustling auras from the distance.
Crack
"It's been a while since I've kicked some ass."
