flash stepping at most can take me 100m with each step. every time I move I try to freeze the ground. 20km I find a level one demonic beast, I pull out my sword and in one motion stab it though it's eye. killing it before it knew what happened. looking at my arms, do you want to eat it, both snakes stick out there head sake, ever since they became demonic rank 2 beast they got so picky with there food. oh well I just store it in the ring. I wonder how much room I have left in this ring. not bothering to check she starts walking, just taking in the sights of the forest. when walking she eventual finds a soft robe.
I wonder where it leads, maybe I should find a town or city. walking down the dirt road with her mask on the side of her face eating an apple. she hears a carriage in the distance. the sound of hooves were getting loud, she quickly tosses the apple and slid the mask to fit over her face. nyx steps to the side and waits for the carriage which aprroching fast. the carriage sees nyx standing by and stops with the door to go in facing nyx.
" are you lost? a young lady voice sounds comes out the carriage.
"I am, in trying to find the closest city" nyx says using qi to change her voice into more if a guy voice.
" well youre on the right path it's a 1 day ride with carriage and should be a 2 day walk. even with the carriage being driven by demonic beast we still won't be their till just after sundown. if nothing bad happens" the lady in the carriage says.
" young miss are you sure you should be talking a stranger whos only a knight, so much information" an older gentalman says to the lady inside.
" it's because hes just a knight I'll tell him, he looks no older then 16. to be a knight at that age? he must have excellent talent, so it's better to make friends" the lady says to the older gental man.
" you are are wise as always young miss. he says back.
staring at the door of the what appears to be a red carriage, I started to pay more attention. to the details, the wheels don't look worn out so it's probably new. they have large p on the door and it's surrounded by gold, I guess it's a fancy noble. lost in my own thoughts, I started to hear mr get called a lot.
" Mr. mr. mr"
"can I help you? I replyed to the lady voice.
" do you want a ride" she. says as the tone in her voice gets higher, trying to act cuter
"sure" I said the door opens up and I walk in.
the interior was all red too, I guess thete family must like red. I take the the seat opposite of them. facing the gentleman who looked more like a butler, with very hair and a clean appearice. sitting besides him was a lady no older them 16, maturing quite well. her devilish curves can be seen though her red robe, her breast look nice standing nice and firm. looking at hers I subconsciously look down at mine and see almost a flat chest, forgetting I was wearing something to keep them from bouncing around so they looked smaller.
"so why are you heading to the city? and what clan do you belong to? why are you wearing a mask? the lady asks.
thinking for a moment at the questions she asks I'm rapid fire" I dont belong to and clan, I'm sightseeing, where the road take me, and i wear this mask because I have a hideous scar on my face" I tell her in a calm manner so she won't get suspicious.
"I see," giving a questionable look.
"do you know what city we are heading to? also ant gossips of any genius that rose in our generation?" asking her. trying to find information about my brother and his friends.
the lady smiles and a glimmer appears in her eyes for a moment.
"well first we are heading to Grand city, and there has been a few genies for our generation all coming form peak powers but 3 of them. it's a wonder where they came form, and how much luck the 3rd string school had to use to trick them into staying." sighing as if it's a let down.
"3rd string school? I ask curiously.
" are you really a country bumpkin that you don't know? staring with wide eyes and disbelief. " the heavens are unfair" shaking her head.
"okay, I guess I'll do the job of an educator, there are 4 ranks of sects/schools/families. starting from least to greatest. we have 3rd rank schools they have at least one level 5 or above sky knight or mage king. for 2nd ranks they have at least 3 peak sky or mage king. for 1st rank they have at least 1 heavenly king/ mage emperor. and finally there are the true peak, immortal rank, just by their name immortal, they produce an immortal. they are the true powerhouses." stars appears in her eyes and she can only dream of joining an immortal sect/family or school..
" what about those that don't have any rank? curious to find the answer.
" well of course they aren't ranked why ask such a basic question? she says
" I know very little and only just started wondering around, it's better to understand who and what I can't offend." I answer.
" I shall do my best to tell you" she seems happy to have someone to talk to. we talk back and forth for hours, her butler have been staring daggers at me the whole time.
hours fly by as I found out more and more about this country or should I say world since it's as big as one. this culvator country was massive, that no one fully explored it. it housed many danger areas, with many pocket dimensions. their were a total of 4 immortal schools, 7 immortal sects and their use to be 4 immortal family but not their were 3 due to war. it seemed like a lot immortals but if you count them up their are only 14 know immortals In this vast world. since no one knew it's name everyone refers to the immortal world.
" so can you tell me about the 3 mysterious genius from the 3rd grade school?" I ask kind of impatiently
" well the first one is called yu I think, I don't know how first name. but rumor has it he jumped form apprentice to the 5th realm of knight in 7 years, not only that he is also 9th realm novice mage with 2 elements, he is practically a monster. if he joined a immortal sect and focuses on knight he could be a grand knight before he turns 19.. lucky school" she says with eyes full of envy.
" the other two are lack luster compared to him, a guy with silver eyes and a girl with red hair. both broke though to knights and reached the second realm with 6 realm novice mage. it's a real shame they don't focus on one one the other. only heaven defying geniuses will ever be able to do both successfully. shaking her head. before bouncing back" want to hear something I heard from a friend?" she ask with eyes fully wanting to tell.
"sure" I replied.
" on the low key side, yu has a younger sister who was taken by someone". she pauses to cause a dramatic tension. but failed since she couldn't see under my mask. " apparently his sister has better talent then him. but on the night they were picking schools a person ripped open space and took her". staring nyx in the two holes of the mask as if she wants to read me though my eyes.
"oh, that's terrible news, did anyone hear what happened to her after" I ask trying to sound concern.
" no, it's like she vanished. but it threw the immortal world into shakes, as some immortal powers secretly sent out people to look for her but it turned up nothing. she could be dead or worse" shaking her head with pity on her face.
" young miss, we are arriving at grand city' the butler who was silent while we talked finally spoke
turning my head I see a huge wall city, with a twin head symbol on the large gate. we quickly arrive and a solider comes forward and knocks on the door.
name and reason for being here? he asks.
the butler just shows him a symbol as if doing it carefree. staring at the symbol the guard quickly bows and beckon them to go on through.
once inside the city i look around though the door and see all manner of things being sold or walking around. people with pets, people with slaves, commoners, homeless, wealthy people. it's overwhelming to a person who spent 7 years alone in a tomb.
the carriage slows down and finally stops. we quickly get out and then I cup my first and give thanks to the lady and her butler for taking me this far. I almost forgot to ask her for her name. " I'm Nyx by the way" I say waving the back of my hand as I turn away and getting lost in the crowed. not stopping to hear her reply.
the lady looks questionly at my disappearing figure. and thinks. "nyx nyx... wait isn't yu missing sister a girl named nyx? but he had a guy voice... but his figure from the back looks like a girl.. just a coincidence.." she shakes the thought to the back of her mind.
