Chapter 67 - Other side of the world (4)

Xen was continuously patting Ryan's head and Fiona was laying down while her head was over Xen's leg. She was observing the endlessly expended sky.

Their destination was still far away from there, but they are enjoying their journey.

Ryan was feeling bit sleepy, that's why Xen tightly hugged him. But then Fiona get up and took Ryan over her arms, as she hugged him and started to pat his head.

Ryan slowly closed his eyes, and Xen was observing him. It doesn't matter how much Ryan has grow up, he is still Xen's cutest son.

While thinking about that, an unknown smile formed over his face.

But suddenly Xen feels like white crystal wing waved behind of them. But after noticing unreasonable movement of something, Xen immediately grabbed his spear and instantly swing it on that direction.

That sudden strike was too much powerful that it almost break the space. And at the next moment, atmosphere of surround area scattered like glass.

Because of that sudden action, dragon couldn't able to balance properly, and three of them directly crashed over the ground.

"What happened Xen!!"

Instead of replying to Fiona's question, Xen point his spear at the sky. From where the atmosphere break as like grass. But right now that part of the atmosphere is totally unchanged.

But Xen is sure that his spear touched something right there.

"I know you are there, stopped hiding and revealed your self."

And at the next moment Xen feels the presence of an unknown existence and this presence is incomparable.

Then someone comes Infront of Xen, while breaking the surrounding, it was as if that person was hiding behind the space. She is an woman, her long figure and white hair was covered by white fabric.

Yeah she is the woman, who were with Yatoru-Kujo.

Then she come close to Xen and look at his eyes for the first time. Before Xen could say something, she immediately kneel Infront of Xen and paid the most respect possible.

"Nice to meet you. 4th Generation Strongest Emperor, emperor Xen. I apologised for my previous behaviour."

Xen looked down at her as he asked her, "Why you were looking at me from behind the space."

"I again apologised for this, but I weren't looking at you."

After saying that she moved her face at the direction of Fiona. Or more accurately at the kid, that Fiona was holding onto her arms. Ryan was sleeping, so he has no idea that someone were watching him.

Xen also looked back at Ryan, but then he moved his face back at the woman. He smiled as he figured out something. Xen released his grip from his spear.

The moment when the spear falls over the ground, that woman became confused. But the moment when she moved her face at Xen.

Xen moved his hand on her direction while saying, "It's a pleasure to meet you, true Angel. And thanks for choosing me as the 4th Emperor."

Fiona became confused after hearing that, but she became shocked when the angel grabbed Xen's hand and stood up.

When Xen noticed Fiona's expression, then he smiled at her. And explained, "Actually for to become the 4th Emperor I have to give my one finger at first. Probably that's because of observing my aura."

Xen moved his face at the direction of the angle as he continued, "They were summoned me there, 6 years ago. For the cultivation. Am I right?"

Then the angel smile and denied his words, "No, not there on the open desert."

Just after finishing her words, she snapped her fingers. And suddenly all of them disappeared from there.

That tree is big that it's branches are so expanded enough that many house can be build right there.

And somewhere in the branches of that tree, a cave was present there. That one cave is present probably on the centre of that tree branches.

It doesn't feeling like any branches at all, because infront of that cave, huge open field was present. Which is totally covered by grass. And sun light aren't coming there, because of those countless branches and the leafs over that.

Still this place was glowing, that's because of countless blue particles. And those particles are coming out from hundreds of blue flowers, which is present everywhere around there.

Inside of that cave, Xen was standing Infront of the Lance. That weapon was exactly same as 6 years ago. Still glowing, even though it's covered by vines.

The angle was present on little distance. She was observing Xen too carefully.

Xen looked back at her as he asked, "I think you have something to ask me."

"Yeah, many things. First, how did you know about our existence?"

Xen smiled before replying, "Isn't that obvious on this world, where evil souls like me and Kevin exist. Then angle must exist too. And over that I survived on ground surface."

"Okay, then I want to know about Ryan."

"He is my son and that's enough." Xen's eyes are turned into bloodlust and deep as sea.

Angle couldn't able to ask anything else after hearing his reply like this. It was as if, she was trying to grab long sharp spikes. Which would just hurt her.

Xen moved from there and come close to the side wall, more accurately that's not wall but tree wood, this entire cave was formed by tree itself. Then he slowly placed his hand over the side surface.

Xen feel something, and for to confirmed that he asked to the angle, "He is still cultivating there, right?"

"Yeah, Kujo started cultivating just a while ago. She is present on another cave, somewhere on those branches." By her expression it was cleared that, she is trying to hide something from Xen.

But the person front of her is Xen. And his words are always serious and deep.

Xen moved his face at her and his words turned into anger, as if he was giving warning, "I said 'he'...."

It doesn't take long for her to realise why Kujo run away from him. Because his words are killing her. She hold her breath before replying to Xen properly.

"Yeah, he is still on deep cultivation, he is totally recreating his physical body..... I apologise for my previous words."

Xen come close to the Lance, then he slowly touched it, he can feel the presence of that weapon. It was crystal clear, and this weapon isn't looking blood lust. But still that weapon will look beautiful when it will get covered by blood.

While thinking about those things, Xen looked at her, "Passed this weapon to him, when his cultivation will be over."

"Okay I'll remember this."

Then he slowly moved from there at the direction of exit from the cave.

Before leaving from there, Xen looked back at her for last time as he asked her,

"When you are going to die?"

"Anytime, just tell me to."

Xen comes out from inside of the cave, and the moment when he stepped on the open field, he crushed some flowers under his feet.

But he don't care about that, probably that's because Xen was thinking about something,

'One of the strongest existence on this entire world, an Angle. Who can remove this world under blink of an eye. But she lost her motive to live after some hundred of thousands years.'

Somewhere on the tree, on the edge of a branch. Emperor Xen was standing, while he was observing the sun set alone. That's his first time watching the sunset from the other side of this world.

Vastly expanded desert was looking like blood red sand, because of the reflection of the three sun. Which are setting down on the endless horizon.

That's so beautiful, even though it's not much clear because of leafs, which are blocking his vision. But the true beauty can't be hide.

This undescribable beautiful view failed to make smile over his face. Xen was worried about something.

"Suns are rising out on the other side, I don't know why, but this must be fear in my heart..... What is going on happen tomorrow?"

Someone grabbed the stone and reach out the top. The top of this world. Which is also the end of this world. That's the cliff of this world.

That person standing up and his shadow was direct under his feet. Because the three sun are direct on the top.

Because that's the time where one side was covering under darkness and other side was about to face the light. And cliff was directly facing the sun.

Then the person take one step ahead and his foot step was covered by blood. Gradually frozen plants started to grow up from the surrounding surface.

It was Lan who was standing on the cliff, while he was looking infront of him.

His body is badly injured, he received too much deep wounds, that the blood was continuously coming out.

Then he looked down as he said,

"So you are there, your presence is crystal clear from right there. Xen, it's the time."
