Last night has been long, Rudra spent almost his whole night talking to Xian about Verge, parallel systems that exist and their beings. Xian was briefing him about the training when Nina knocked on the door and Sylvia flung open the door in desperation while forcing Nina out of the way. Rudra and Xian abruptly looked towards the door, when Sylvia said "We saw Professor and Aragorn going inside the tower ", just after hearing those words Xian knew they both have found something weird.
Sylvia and Nina were trying to catch their breath when Nina said in a very suffocating voice, "I think they were going to look into simulation", and it seems Xian wasn't concentrating on Nina; he was still looking towards Sylvia waiting for her to say something when she frowned with anger, he smiled and added, "Isn't this jumping to conclusion Nina ?" and added, "we all know they both work with each other..."; Sylvia interrupted in between, "but this time they were with Professor Vazul".
The name of Professor Vazul was something that generated suspicion inside as this was like two different poles were walking with each other, everything about both of them was contrary to one other except for their ability in their respective strength, they both were prodigies.
All three of them were looking towards each other waiting for someone to say something while Rudra was sitting beside Xian watching all of them like a child, try to put everything in the place with whatever knowledge he had.
"We should follow them", said Sylvia breaking the silence.
Xian looked towards both of them, he wanted to refuse because of caution but he also wanted to know the reason for everything that was happening, "How we are going to do it? I know if no one is able to find simulation or whatever important is inside that tower it will be protected and we are in no position to bypass anything that champions were not able to bypass until today."
Xian's concerns were well placed and all of them were required to prepare properly if they were going to do anything. Every aspect of the plan needs to well think and apart from that if they were entering their illusions needs to be perfect and contrary to everything they didn't know where they were entering and hence developing illusions was almost impossible.
Sylvia snapped her finger, "So? Now what, anything on the mind."
"We need someone who knows stuff and are best ", Xian looked towards everyone and Sylvia knew whom he was referring to and the chances of those agreeing to their terms were almost zero.
"We have to ask Odelia and Shinak", added Xian.
And again they were standing in front of a dead-end, how they'll reach them, contacting Champions was not easy and apart from that they were not just Champions, they were best of all.
Suddenly there was a smirk on Xian face like he planned something crooked and deceptive, he knew about Shinak affection towards weapon and his arsenal has something he would love to have and once they will have him getting Odelia won't be hard.
There was only one place where they all can find Shinak without much hindrance and that's in Arena and after that, it's almost impossible for anyone to reach him.
They all were sitting around the arena along with few others who came to see the prodigy practice. Xian was holding an Axe, it seems normal from its appearance only its blades were made of some glassy stone with a silvery-white handle, Xian was holding it in front of him so that Shinak could see what he was holding whenever he gets the sight of it.
Shinak was fighting two other champions simultaneously, their attacks were fast but Shinak was still overpowering them and as soon as any one of those lost their weapon, someone else from the standing troop joins. This was going on when Shinak got sight of the Axe and within the next few attacks, both his opponents were on the ground. He then signalled everyone else to rest and moved towards them.
All of them until today have only witnessed him from far and not a single one of them really had an idea how huge Shinak was, he was huge not in a giant sense but was tall and chiselled muscle almost every muscle was as it was meant to be, he's body was all about physical prowess.
Shinak was staring towards the Axe and all of them were waiting to know what happens next when he looked upwards and smiled, "Where you get this beast ?".
"Belonged to my ancestor", Xian smiled back and offered Shinak to wield it.
Shinak with no delay took the Axe, took few steps back and with all his strength throw it towards the middle of the arena where a pillar stood and in a tenth of a second, Axe was on another side of the pillar, the sliced pillar started falling.
But the falling pillar never touched the ground, it vanished like it was dropped in a bag and everybody except Shinak seems surprised even Xian had no idea what really happened.
"I didn't expect it to cut through space fibre", Shinak looked towards them and was acting embarrassed.
To cut through space you must throw the blade with more speed than the speed of light but regular blades lose themselves in the time and space continuum but obsidian blade balance themselves over space and time to remain in the same timeline in which they were thrown.
Xian knew about weapons that time and space doesn't affect but he had one like that, it was a surprise.
"Suprised ?", asked Shinak.
"What you were doing with this beast, I don't think you plan on fighting me".
"We have something to ask you?", added Xian.
"So this is a bait and so thoughtful, you have my attention", Shinak smiled and looked towards them.
With few minutes Shinak knew everything that happened and every other individual was just hoping to get a favourable outcome.
"You devils, it will be fun but I must add you knew there are high chances that you'll be killed", asked Shinak without much concern about them.
"That's why we have asked you and can you please persuade Odelia for the same", added Sylvia.
"You need princess interesting. Am I not strong enough ?", asked Shinak with a grin on his face; when Xian added, "everyone knew when you two group together your strength is comparable to Professors."
"Ok, will try", Shinak picked the Axe and throw it gently towards Rudra and started walking toward his combat companion.
"How will knew you are ready ?", shouted Sylvia.
"You'll ", Shinak uttered those words without looking back and continue his walk.
