What is Anger? I Am Angered (2/2)
"You! What... how?" Astral shouted in confusion upon seeing the Heavenly Demon Sect's Leader.
"Oh, you're surprised by what...? My beauty, or the fact that both of us are the same...?" The Heavenly Demon retorted. Astral's expression sank.
Tch!
He was cautious. And this concept in him was etched into his bones. He wasn't willing to fight the Heavenly Demon after seeing her appearance.
Fighting another transcendent of this world was okay but unlike any other, the Heavenly Demon had horns and radiated with a non-human aura.
Seeing her features that weren't human, he finally understood this fact. The Heavenly Demon was just like her name implied... She was a Demon!
This was the first time she appeared in public since he appeared in this world and maybe others didn't know but, she definitely was like him, and not from this world.
Astral was a critical thinker and cautiousness was first so he decided it was best to retreat. "But, give me the body of my disciple!" He ordered in a deep voice.
"No, this isn't how it works. You and I both know, we demons rely on the blood of others to cultivate, and someone soo talented like this Dolion, my lovely son will use his body well."
Boom!
An explosion of aura from Astral changed the relaxed expressions on the face of the Heavenly Demon but, her aura also exploded.
Astral wasn't scared, but he wasn't confident. If a battle between Mortal Transcendents took place inside Limitless Sky Continent, the consequences would be unimaginable.
A vein popped in Astral's temple but he had no choice.
First and foremost, he was a member of the Limitless Void World. The Limitless Sky Sect was a branch of this.
Even if his disciple died, he couldn't destroy the homes of members of the Limitless Void World, no matter how painful it was.
Fwoosh!
His figure disappeared.
He had re-entered the void crack and returned to the Limitless Sky Sect. Silence descended before the Heavenly Demon disappeared.
But, her words resounded throughout. A voice that entered the ears of all inside the Limitless Sky Continent.
"One of your Young Holy Children has fallen in the hands of the Young Holy Child of my Heavenly Demon Sect... Fufufu, what a waste you people of this continent are!"
Though it wasn't loud, it entered the minds of every being inside this continent. No matter how close or far they were, they heard it on the same level.
It didn't harm them but the contents caused them to feel light-headed and their skins to pale as some even dropped to their knees.
What was this...? An outrage occurred. This was a complete embarrassment..! Someone from the Demonic Faction could enter this continent and make them a laughingstock.
Worst of all, it was of the Demonic Faction! If before, they of the Limitless Sky Continent were slowly becoming a joke, now that process soared and their names were officially sullied.
The meaning of the word joke was now synonymous with the name Limitless Sky Continent and Limitless Sky Sect.
Soon later, other forces of the world released even more news. Eventually, the whole world knew of this and also of the fact that an Overseer of the Limitless Sky Sect had threatened a junior of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
But most importantly, one piece of news took the world by storm. Everyone outside the Limitless Sky Continent was eagerly awaiting it...
The news of the Young Holy Child of the Heavenly Demon Sect's declaration! In one week, if the next Young Holy Child, Blade Pure-Heart, didn't appear in front of him, he was would head straight to the Main Branch of the Limitless Sky Sect and kill all of the younger generations.
From Direct disciples, Core disciples, Inner and Outer disciples, to the little children who were now learning to cultivate. None doubted the ruthlessness of the Heavenly Demon's Young Holy Child.
Or one could say, the Heavenly Demon's Young Unholy Child...
The reaction wasn't good.
...
...
Within the Concealed City...
"What a f*cking waste." Inside an Inn, several tens of figures spoke with each other. Their faces were either red from being drunk or from rage.
"Our new generation is a f*cking waste!" These people were angry and drunk. "Even a Demon could lay waste, what about those other more powerful sects?!"
"What about that trash named Blade? Do you think he even has the guts to appear in front of the Young Holy Child of the Heavenly Demon Sect...?"
Humph!
A cold snort resounded. "I bet he's ducking for fear of losing his life! Thankfully that bastard Chu Peng said he'll personally go to the Limitless Sky Sect and kill all those trash."
"Yeah, I can't bare to live in this shame. Not another day! Those bloody garbage we call our young geniuses couldn't even kill one mongrel from that Demonic Sect." Everyone nodded their heads, agreeing to these words.
Thud!
But, their attention was grasped by the bottle of liquor that fell to the floor and spilled. The cause was a young child with long pink hair and a pair of large innocent eyes. She seemed angry.
Tch!
"All of you should feel ashamed. Not one of you could even lay a finger on any of those geniuses, much less Chu Peng! So why curse them for something you, the older generation can't do!"
Humph!
"Little brat, you know nothing! Those geniuses get all the best resources from the Limitless Sky Sect while we never got a single cultivation resource. Those bastards are useless. The Limitless Sky Sect fed them and fattened them, yet they can't defeat one person from their own generation!"
Humph!
But, the little kid was seemingly no older than six or seven harrumphed once more. "Our Holy Child will win! He'll prove you all wrong and kill that bastard Chu Peng...!" She said with confidence.
"Tch! If that Blade fellow dies with an intact body, one can say he has already done his best in the face of Chu Peng's pow-!"
Before the group laugh at the girl's words once more, another voice entered their minds. This voice entered the minds of those inside of a certain range.
Those close to the Forbidden Zone 029 heard this voice. Once they were present inside of the range of several hundred thousand miles, inside of a certain someone's divine sense, they heard this voice!
"Chu Peng! You can hear this so I'll tell you right now..." The voice was oddly calm. It was monotone and lacked emotion. It gave one the illusion that whoever was the owner of this voice lacked any human features and any human empathy.
It was frigid and aloof. All who heard it... All who were previously speaking ill of Blade... They all felt their blood freeze!
"What is Anger? I am Angered!"
"What Is Fear? You'll Know!" Blade's voice resounded in the minds of millions.
"What Is Regret? You'll Understand!" It was akin to a calm ocean that devoured everything.
"How Dare You Touch My Things? Today you'll comprehend what it means to not court death but to hug death's thighs and beg for her embrace. On this day, you'll understand what it means to have a fate worse than death!"
Thrum!
...
...
In Sector 15, two figures stood in the skies. Under the light of the star that floated in the skies, Athena carefully stood opposite Blade who had a weird expression.
His nails were dark purple and long like claws. These nails dug into his skin as he placed his right hand on his face.
"You know, Athena, there has never been a time where something that belongs to me has been touched and even damaged by another.
No matter who it was, they didn't dare in the past but less than a year after entering this place, some people have grown enough balls to do the unthinkable!"
Shifting his gaze to Athena, as purplish grey blood trickled down his face, he conveyed. What he said was true.
In his previous world, he (his loyal head servant) controlled the world economy and practically every power in the world was his subordinate. None dared to resist.
The commoners knew him. The rich knew him. But, only one percent of the one percent understood the true power he held.
Yet, no matter who it was, none had ever disrespected him, nor disrespected those around him.
It was a common fact to those special individuals who were in the one percent of the one percent that he, Blade Pure-Heart was possessive.
Though he never truly understood this, finally experiencing something that he considered his property being harmed, Blade was enlightened about himself.
Just like Athena who he gifted an Emperor's Fruit, Dolion... No, Andra was his property. He had unknowingly considered her his lover in a twisted way.
Upon hearing the news that spread throughout the continent once releasing his divine sense, Blade's screws had loosened and he had entered a realm of accepting his insanity.
Focusing on Athena's figure, Blade placed his right hand around her. Pulling her into his embrace, a purple glow escaped his body and slowly enveloped her body.
Though she didn't know what was taking place, she still understood one thing. And this thing was, Blade was truly angry.
"Athena, no... My Athena, let's go meet a fellow who is begging for death." He calmly said.
Thereafter, his figure disappeared from Forbidden Zone 029.
