Reunion

"Why do you want to go to Limitless Sky Continent...?!"

Athena's master was confused. Why exactly did she pick Limitless Sky Continent out of all the continents...?

"Why should I not pick Limitless Sky Continent..? I've already traversed throughout Heavenly Celestial Continent throughout my life. The other continents are also intriguing but, I want to travel to a continent with the word "Limitless" in its name. I want to see how limitless it is."

Though she lied with a straight face, the point she brought up wasn't a bad one.

Limitless Sky Continent did sound majestic in a way. And to her master, Athena spent her whole life wandering in the Heavenly Celestial Continent.

Athena's master was convinced. Though she was pained by the fact that her student was leaving already, she didn't want to force her student. Plus, there was time. Unlike the other Holy Sons and Daughters, her student was beyond talented.

A monster...

The figure of the two disappeared from the teleportation circle they stood on. When they appeared once more, they were greeted with the sight of hundreds of teleportation circles with a layout quite similar to Limitless City.

The two had now teleported from the Sect so they appeared at the center, shocking the guards. Athena didn't wait as she directly jumped into one of the teleportation circles that had an infinity symbol on the surface before flinging some Spirit Stones on the dents.

The energy was infused. Athena's master watched in shock when seeing her student's actions, only gesturing goodbyes with her hand before her figure directly disappeared in an instant.

Wasn't she a little too excited to leave her poor master alone for years...? What an unfilial disciple she was. Athena's master thought of the teary goodbye scene but realized that this was simply her wishful thinking.

Humph!

With a snort, she disappeared. All this while, the guards were speechless by the scenes which had taken place.

...

...

"What brings you here to my city..?"

Suddenly, Athena's attention was brought to the skies where a figure appeared. It was the figure of the Limitless City's Lord who had just received the news.

His aura was imposing and domineering, carrying with it an aura of authority yet, Athena seemed to be unfettered by it. He had long grey hair and a pair of deep orbs in his eyes.

Normally, he'll be the calm and restrained understanding City Lord but, right now, his brows were furrowed as he stared down Athena's figure. After all, it wasn't common at all for those of the other Supreme Sects to appear in his city unless there was going to be some important event.

'I've not received any word about an event involving the top powers taking place inside the city, so this means, this Heavenly Celestial disciple is moving on her own accord.' The City Lord pondered.

His brows furrowed even tighter when he thought, 'Or maybe the Heavenly Celestial Sect wants to spy on... No, that'll be even more stupid. Why would they do that in this way...?'

"Oh, I came not for your city..." Athena replied. At the same time, the barrier blocking her from leaving the teleportation circle had dispersed, allowing her to exit the circle.

Her figure floated upward to the skies as she made her way out of the teleportation zone. She had a calm fairy-like smile on her face.

"I came to visit the Limitless Sky Sect. There's someone located there that I've not seen in a while... And I don't want any leeches to have the misconception that they can touch my property!"

As her words landed, the surroundings seemed to heat up due to a disgustingly huge amount of killing intent that had leaked out of Athena's eyes.

At the same time, the city lord's expression darkened when sensing the killing intent. 'There's no way I'll allow you to enter the Sect with such intent to kill in your eyes.' The city lord readied himself to enter battle.

Athena remained ignorant of the city lord's thoughts. She hadn't even realized that her bloodthirst had been released. But, it was soo much that it even alarmed the city lord enough to be a little more careful.

He had lived long and seen a lot. There were people in this world capable of fighting others who were multiple major realms above their own.

...

As the two were about to fight, Blade, who was led by the fortune-detecting treasure, made his way through the use of his will, toward the teleportation zone.

At a certain level, one needed to simply will for their body to fly, and it'll happen. It was easy for Blade to do such an act. The stronger one was, the stronger one's will, the faster one can fly.

'I wonder what could make this thing suddenly vibrate like this...' Blade pondered with a confused expression etched onto his face. But, his eyes flashed with coldness when a thought popped into his head.

'If it's coming from the teleporting zone, it means that this treasure is on someone who had used the teleportation circles. If this is the case, I'll need to hurry.' Blade said as he immediately sped up, his figure turning into a blur.

A cold smirk was on his face as he thought. 'I guess I'll need to start killing and robbing lucky individuals now... thank you, Master Astral, for this treasure.'

...

At this time, a great distance away from Limitless City, a certain meditating figure felt a shudder run down his spine. Opening his eyes, he confusedly uttered.

"What was that... I suddenly feel like someone is going to cause me trouble..?" Astral muttered under his breath as he calmed his mind and re-entered meditation.

Useless thoughts. Even if Blade exited the mountain, it hasn't been long, how could he stir up trouble already..?

...

...

"I came to visit the Limitless Sky Sect. There's someone located there that I've not seen in a while... And I don't want any leeches to have the misconception that they can touch my property!" Athena's seductive voice resounded, entering the ears of the city lord and the newly appearing figure of Blade.

Feeling the killing intent radiating from her tone, Blade furrowed his brows at that moment but, an idea later struck his mind. His lips stretched and parted, revealing rows of teeth as he clutched his belly and his voice resounded throughout.

"Hahaha... Oh, Athena, long time no see..." Barely keeping his laughter under control, Blade's voice entered Athena's ears, leaving her shocked to the core. Though it had been a while, it was for her, something that was unforgettable, Blade's voice.

Her body trembled once her mind processed who the owner of the voice was. Just like what one would think, Athena underwent great troubles to revive. After all, she did die and came back alive after birth, to undergo rebirth, the only thing that kept pushing her forward...

At first, she did like Blade, after all, his allure wasn't normal. But, it wasn't at a level where one would say she was obsessed with him. Unknowingly, in the state of death, she had found life once more due to the figure of Blade that appeared in her fading consciousness.

This man, the reason that she was living, once more appeared in her vicinity. The one she owed her life to, the one she was obsessed with, she was able to once more reunite with him... this time, she'll never let him escape her grasp.

"B-Blade...?"

Athena's voice cracked when saying his name. As if completely forgetting the city lord's existence, she turned around to see a figure she wasn't familiar with. He seemed to be around 6'0 with a slender frame filled with compact muscles that could be seen through his clothing.

The young man in front of her eyes had a deep pitch-black right eye that could drown one's consciousness and a dark purple left eye that upon further scrutiny, would send shivers down one's spine.

He had a head full of purple hair that was longer than his body and two bangs, one white while the other black. The current appearance of the young man was something that Athena didn't remember yet, she could instantly recognize who it was.

'Even more handsome...?' The world was truly unfair. If before, Blade could be described as a ten out of ten, then now, he had officially entered the realm of the otherworldly. But, Athena wasn't much lower, in fact, if not for her strength, her life would have never been as smooth sailing as it was, after her 'rebirth'.

"Athena, I think there truly is a misconception..." Blade smirked with a calm smile etched on his face. And at this time, seeing the two like this, the city lord also had a smile, a knowing smile as he winked at Blade before disappearing, ordering the guards to give the two some privacy.

"Since when was there something like I being your property." While he teased Athena, already wrapping his hands around her waist physically, and placing her in his palm on a spiritual level, his brain buzzed with countless thoughts, the most glaring thought...

How is she alive..? Does she also have a mysterious background...? Is she not a Human?!

All these thoughts were sending Blade mad with curiosity.
