Chapter 121 - Armakan and Parsine

---Three weeks later---

At this moment, two people could be found sitting on a Shadow Giant Bird flying in the sky while looking at the vast land below them. Suddenly, one of them asked after seeing some kind of large infrastructure in the distance, "Are we close now?"

"Mmm." The other person replied seeing that they would soon arrive at the place their destination. With that, he then ordered the Shadow Giant Bird to land somewhere near the place not to gain their attention.

With that, their speed suddenly slows down before finally finding a place to land. These two people were none other than Lev and Yamraiha who finally arrived at Heliohapt Kingdom, a country situated in the north of the Dark Continent.

Heliohapt Kingdom,

Entering the kingdom, Lev and Yamraiha could now be seen walking while looking at the surroundings seeing several monolithic structures everywhere. Yamraiha was in awe seeing such a place while Lev was looking at the people surprised to see them really wearing such revealing clothes just like in the original.

Lev and Yamraiha walked for a while looking from place to place and seeing different kinds of goods in the market but it mostly consists of medicinal plants. They walked around before they got stopped by a person who told them to follow him which Lev and Yamraiha heed and followed him behind.

Heliohapt Palace,

At this moment, several people could be seen standing in the place. Two of them were old and three other people were young but the most notable was the person resembling a teenage man could be seen sitting on the throne with his eyes closed.

"It's been a while since we had a visitor." A man behind the man sitting on the throne said while looking at Lev and Yamraiha upon seeing their unfamiliar faces.

"King Armakan, I think it should be best to ask where these two came from." One of the older people said while looking at the old man beside him and the man sitting on the throne then nodded.

"Visitors, our country was small, but I hope you had a good stay here." The old person said while looking at Lev and Yamraiha with a kind expression on his face.

Hearing his words, Lev looked at him before observing the man sitting on the throne who was none other than King Armakan, the current ruler of Heliohapt Kingdom, and could only shake his head upon thinking something on his mind.

"Well, I have always been fond of traveling wanting to visit every place in this world and one of them is Heliohapt Kingdom." Lev replied seeing that the current Heliohapt Kingdom really wanted to bring peace to foreign visitors seeing them so kind to both of them.

"Oh, a traveler. Well, you will always be welcome in our kingdom." The man they called King Armakan replied with a smile hearing them being travelers after remembering someone who came here in the past.

With that, Lev stayed for a while as King Armakan was curious about their adventure before bidding their farewell excusing themselves that they wanted to visit the notable places of the Kingdom.

After leaving, the two old people inside looked at King Armakan seeing him very quiet after the two left.

"What do you think my brother was doing now?" King Armakan asked remembering the time his brother left the Kingdom deciding to follow a certain man to be this Kingdom's representative for the alliance.

"Well, he should be fine." The person wearing a bird mascot replied but there was also a hint of worriedness in his voice as they just got some news lately on what happened to them.

In an Inn,

Finding a place to settle in, Lev could now be found lying on the bed while thinking about something while Yamraiha was watching him curiously on her own bed.

"Lev, why didn't you take an action earlier? Is it because he's young?" Yamraiha suddenly asked as she was confused seeing Lev didn't do anything as she knew that their purpose of coming here was to steal a Mettal Vessel again.

"Well, he doesn't still have one." Lev replied while telling the truth as he couldn't feel some sort of connection. He then could only say that this probably might not be the time King Armakan conquered a dungeon for himself.

"Oh, then what are we going to do now?" Yamraiha asked again seeing that they came here for nothing. She got up on her bed while looking at Lev with expectation thinking that they could go outside and see more of the place.

"Well, we might as well enjoy ourselves for a while and stay here for a week." Lev replied while smiling at Yamraiha seeing her getting excited for some reason.

With that, Lev and Yamraiha then just stayed in the Inn for a while before heading outside to see more that this Kingdom could give and used a week's time to enjoy their stay and their time worth a while.

In the middle of a forest,

Meanwhile, a man could be found lying on the ground while coughing up blood as if he was in great pain. The man then crawled towards the pond as he looked at his reflection in the water seeing himself in agony.

"I can feel that I could grasp it soon." The man murmured as he came for some training in this place. Shortly after the pain subsided, he let himself fall on the pond wanting to wash himself.

---One week later---

In an area in the Dark Continent that was abundant with trees, Lev and Yamraiha could be found taking a break after traveling some distance away from Heliohapt Kingdom as they were now on their way back to Artemyra.

"Summon: Forneus. Alloces." Lev said before the two eight-pointed stars on one of his Infinity shone brightly. Right after that, two giant gates appeared in front of them and two blue giant creatures came out of them which surprised him as unlike the original which they could only appear to be floating and connected to the Metal Vessel, but right now they seemed to an independent being seeing them really materialize their whole body in the surface.

Lev and Yamraiha then looked at the both of them as the two had different appearances. One of them resembles a sea-like monster seeing it having an appearance similar to that of a shark, while the other one, on the other hand, was so cool to look at seeing a person clad in armor sitting on an armored horse while holding a spear on his hand. These two were no other than, Forneus and Alloces respectively.

"Where is this again? Did we finally lose those ugly vile green creatures?" Forneus looked at the surroundings with great fear and anticipation upon suddenly seeing that he appeared to be in another place yet again.

"L-Looks like it. What a relief. Huff. Just what was really happening?" Alloces replied with great relief. He then just looked at his surroundings again to see where in the world they were now.

"It's my first time seeing a Djinn in person. They really look weird in close-up." Lev muttered while being curious as to what they were talking about. Yamraiha, on the other hand, stopped what she was doing after seeing two giant blue creatures come out of his weapon and talk to each other.

Hearing a voice, Forneus and Alloces immediately put their guards up as a gush of their aura came out from their bodies but that was when they noticed Lev and Yamraiha in front of them. They looked at each other first before calming down upon seeing that it was a human.

"Human. Who are you and where are we?" Alloces then asked a question since this was the most important thing that they needed to know since they were still running out of their lives from something.

"Before that, I seem to hear about something like you were running from an ugly vile green creature. Can you tell me more about it?" Lev, however, didn't answer and asked a question instead. He was curious as to how the two felt like they were together of some sort.

"Hey! We are the ones who were asking here. Don't test my patient or I might eat you." Forneus does not have any patience and immediately threatens as he looks at Lev viciously.

"This is interesting." Lev didn't know what was happening but he kind of felt like there was something more to it. He then just held Infinity in this hand and pointed it out to them and before the two could react, an Infinity Gate appeared and swallowed them whole.

"Yamraiha. I might be gone for a while. In the meantime, make yourself get close to Sia first, my other companion." Lev followed before he summoned Sia from Infinity world before he waved Infinity itself from which a gate appeared in front of him which he entered without hesitation.

With that, the place suddenly became awkward seeing Yamraiha looking at Sia who was smiling at her. She didn't know what was happening, but she chose to believe in Lev before introducing herself, "H-Hello, I'm Yamraiha."

Infinity World,

Entering Infinity World again, Lev was surprised to see the place quite a mess. However, before he could call his summon to know what was happening, a commotion suddenly happened seeing Forneus and Alloces start running while using their powers to escape.

"Stop." Lev said upon seeing that it was the goblins who were coming after the two Djinns. With that, the goblins then stopped their actions and returned to his side while looking at him excitedly and respectfully.

"Fenrir. Stop them." Suddenly, a large gate appeared out of nowhere and Fenrir came out and growled loudly, and with that, Forneus and Alloces suddenly stopped as they stiffened in their position.

"Forneus. Alloces. So, these are the ugly vile green creatures you two were talking about. Fortunately, I am here now. By the way, they are my companions." Lev said as he walked toward the two Djinn's positions. He was thinking just how the two groups came out to be against each other. He didn't even question why they were there as he thought that it must be the same thing that happened to Saru and Hebi.

"Human, it's you!! Wh--" Forneus shouted upon hearing a familiar voice and after he saw Lev, he couldn't help but feel surprised. However, before he could finish his word, he stopped midway as Fenrir glared at him coldly.

"It's okay, Fenrir." Lev calmed Fenrir down before he shifted his gaze to Alloces thinking that he might be the only one he could talk to properly as he felt like Forneus had a little bias and some hatred towards humans.

Meanwhile, Alloces saw a glimpse of Lev and he couldn't help but gulp as he looked at Fenrir and the five goblins beside him. It was only then did he realized that Lev was not an ordinary human that he thought he would be seeing how those horrible creatures were so respectful to him.

Just like Lev thought, Alloces and he started a conversation in which he started explaining things to him in detail what happened, especially how they came to this world and their sudden conflict with the goblins. In fact, the both of them just happened to stumble over each other from which the two then started running and escaping together and the following event comes afterward.

Lev couldn't help but smack himself knowing that it wasn't really Alloces and Forneus's fault as to why the two groups became against each other as it was all the Goblins' playful thought that resulted in this. He then just looked at the goblins laughing behind them which he could only shake his head.

"Well. I hope you can forgive them. Well, that's not what's important right now. To tell you the truth, both of you were now in my possession as I have stolen you from your original contractors. So, we better get along with each other from now on." Lev then said upon seeing them finally calming down.

Alloces and Forneus did not seem to understand what Lev was talking about. They looked at each other before asking with great confusion, "What do you mean by stolen?"

"Have you still not noticed it? Your connection with your original contractor. Can you still feel it?" Lev did not answer directly and asked instead. He could understand them since their mind might still be in chaos upon coming to this world.

Hearing Lev, Forneus, and Alloces suddenly became quiet as they suddenly felt that he was telling the truth. They couldn't help but wonder just what happened but all they could think of was that it must have something to do with Lev.

"I have one thing to ask." Processing such revelation for a while, Alloces then said as he now became really interested and curious in Lev. He then just wanted to ask something that seemed to be the most important thing for them to know right now.

"Go ahead." Lev replied as he had time to talk with them.

"I'm sure you're not a Magi. So, if you're the one responsible for us being here, just what kind of method did you use to do such a feat? Also, just who really are you? And what and why are those creatures behind you obeying you? I could tell the difference between your strength, it's weird no matter how I look at it." Alloces didn't hold back and asked all the questions that kept on running on his mind.

"That's some questions coming for you. Well. You're right, I'm not a Magi because I'm way more special. For your question, this weapon of mine can devour any weapon in existence so your Metal Vessels weren't an exception, but I can't fully explain why I can summon you out because I just can." Lev replied and tried to answer Alloces' question one at a time.

"And these creatures behind me, they were my companions. Well, truth be told, most of my powers have been greatly restricted right now but they were completely loyal to me. So, if you have any intentions of doing something to me and this world, I think you already know your fate." Lev followed before several gates appeared out of nowhere from which White Fang and the rest came out of them.

With that, Forneus and Alloces were completely dumbstruck by what they just witnessed. Those goblins were already enough for them to run for their lives, but it was only now that they realized that they were one of the weakest among the group especially compared to the gigantic toads who were looking at them at the moment.

"You will be seeing each other in this world. So, you might as well get along with each other. Also, I plan on finding your other friend too. You two can just wait here and brief them about your current situation." Lev then said from which he looked at Ulmer with a smile before caressing her smooth fur.

With that, Lev, Alloces, and Forneus continue to have a conversation trying to completely comprehend the situation. The two Djinns, on the other hand, were easy to talk to and did not complain about a single thing and were even grateful and excited knowing the fact that they could live in this beautiful world and the fact that the place seemed to have a familiarity to them.

On the other hand, Lev was also happy to know them, and not too long after that, he talked to his summon for a while and asked about their situation and their progress with the mission that he gave them. After that, he then bid farewell as he came back outside since they were still restricted by the system.

---Night---

Magi World,

Coming out of Infinity World, Lev then saw Sia and Yamraiha talking to each other before they stopped upon seeing him. Sia, on the other hand, has already come closer to him and gave him a kiss.

"How's the situation on your side?" Lev then asked as he looked at Sia since she and Yoruichi were on the other Infinity World also working on completing the mission that he gave.

"It's all good. The shadow soldiers were doing a very good job. How about you come and visit, Master." Sia answered truthfully while looking at Lev lovingly. She was still surprised back then knowing that she would no longer stay at the summoning space alone and could now live with the others.

"Well, I will but there were things that needed to be done here. By the way, have you seen two giant blue creatures on your side?" Lev then said and asked as he was curious about it since he didn't have the time to come and check the other Infinity.

"Giant blue creatures? I can't seem to see any of them, Master." Sia replied with certainty as they have been working back on Infinity World together with Yoruichi and if there is something like that, Yoruichi should have already talked about it.

Hearing Sia, Lev then understood what was happening thinking that the Metal Vessel and its duplicate had shared the same Djinn, unlike his two Zanpakuto who even their spirits have also been duplicated. However, that might also not be the case as he thought a spirit and Djinn are different as there might be a difference in duplicating a flesh-living creature. As it was too complicated to understand just how it works, he then just let it be and no longer think about it.

Following that, Lev talked to Sia for a few minutes while giving her other resources knowing that Infinity World was still not ready before telling her to go back for now and focus on cultivating Infinity World.

"How about we continue heading back." With that, Lev shifted his attention to Yamraiha who was looking at him blankly. He cannot blame her though since it must be pretty surprising to her, so he decided to tell her slowly on the way back to Artemyra.

Following that, Lev and Yamraiha then ride on the shadow soldier Giant Bird. Even though Lev could just use the Flying Thunder God Technique to immediately come back, he stopped himself from doing so since he wanted to see more of the place.

---Two weeks later---

Artemyra,

Meanwhile, a woman could be seen looking at the entrance of the country and she couldn't help but feel surprised seeing how much the place had changed. Seeing it with her eyes, she didn't linger any longer outside as she came in before feeling a different aura coming in the surroundings thinking if she really was in her country.

"Ohhh, it's Parsine" A feminine voice then could be heard waking up the woman who was in a trance. She then just moved closer to her upon seeing her for such a long time and thought of wanting to hear some news from her.

"Just what happened in Artemyra?" Parsine, who just returned after being called back, directly asked the woman as she wanted to know what happened while she was not around since everything that happened here was too foreign to her.

"This? Let me show you." The woman replied before grabbing Parsine's hands as she wanted her to see the changes of the place which Parsine could only follow while looking at the place from time to time.

However, before the two could leave the place, they saw something flying and landed not that far from them which made all the people in the surroundings stop what they were doing and wait before the country got excited all of a sudden.

"W-What was that?" Parsine asked wanting to know what creature was that as this was the first time she had seen such a thing and never seemed to remember that there was something like that in the country before she left.

"That's Megatron." The woman answered while smiling as his coming down here only meant one thing.

"Megatron? Then, what's so good about it that it made everyone excited for no reason?" Parsine asked with confusion seeing that right after seeing this Megatron land on the ground, the people suddenly became weird.

"Well, that's because our King was finally back." The woman truthfully answered while imagining Lev's handsome face which made her blush all of a sudden.

"Wait what? K-King!!? When does our country have a King?" Hearing the woman, Parsine was now very confused as she thought that she really was lost right now while thinking if this was a dream.

"Yes an-" The woman wanted to say something but was stopped hearing a screeching sound from the sky before seeing a Shadow Giant Bird heading straight to the palace.

"That's our King." The woman said before pulling Parsine to the palace as people were also heading towards that place.

With that, Parsine could only follow the woman wanting to know who this so-called King they were talking to while thinking about why they were admiring him so much.
