Ah, senior what are you taking about, cursed element something?" asked Alen as he looked at the old man with curiosity.
"Wait, boy don't tell me that you don't even know about the natured cursed element, but that can't be possible as every cultivator knows about them,".
Said the old man while in deep thought, after some pause he looked at Alen and continued speaking
" which only mean, you are not an cultivator" Said the old man with cold voice.
"Now, then brat would you tell me about your real identity" said the old man glaring toward Alen.
Alen heart sank hearing the old man, he have already tried his best, to keep his identity secret as an mutant, but now as the old man have actually caught him red-handed, he can barely hide it anymore, still he was reluctant to give up easily.
Oh, wait a minute, yeah I remember cursed element, haha " said Alen with slight trembling, avoiding the old man gaze.
With a sigh, old man speak " Don't worry boy I will not harm you in any way even if you turned out a demon's child, just let me know your true identity." said the old man with coaxing voice.
Not properly convinced by the old man word's Alen hesistantly asked him one more time.
"Senior are you really not going to harm me in any way after knowing my true identity ?"
Seeing the young man, hesitation, the old man helplessly shook his head.
" I zhang zi, with the heaven as the eternal watcher swore to not harm Alen zerricks in any possible way , if I were to break the heavenly oath, let my soul perish in the deepest level of hell itself."
Said the old man in a high pitch tone, with one hand in the air, and both eyes closed.
A moment later a small thundering sound reverberated through the hall, as if in confirmation of the old man pledge or oath,the old man slowly opened his eyes after the small rumbling of thunder, looking at the young man in front of him, he smile seeing his shocked expression.
"Given, how shocked you look, it seems I didn't need to explain about the heavenly Oath ?. asked the old man shrugging slightly.
Alen hurriedly nodded his head in old man confirmation, he surely knows about the heavenly Oath, as he have witnessed many people swearing it before hand and he also know the merits of breaking the oath.
But He was really surprised by the old man sudden behaviour change toward him.
" To even swore an heavenly oath, just how much of importance is my identity in old man eyes?". Though Alen to himself.
Alen took a long sigh before speaking .
" My name Alen cathos , and I belong to the cat's mutant family, cats have high surveillance ability of their surronding, high speed, as well as their cuteness, my parents as well as my cousins all of them inherited all these stats from the cat except for me, Said Alen with some hint of sorrow before continuing, "For some reason I wasn't able to inherit any of the ability, except for my appearance I doesn't inherit any of the ability of cat family. But my parents wasn't unhappy because of it, and yes I also didn't let them down, At first , it was very hard for me to hunt the monster in the wilderness as I didn't posses any ability, due to which I always return severely injured from the wilderness making my parents anxious about me, but that didn't continued for long.
Said Alen, he pause for sometime before continuing.
" Besides their inherited ability mutants also learns various weapons arts that suits them, the cat mutant family hold an highly exception talent for daggers and claws arts, but I on the other hand choses sword as my weapon, and of course all of my family opposed and berated me for this, even my parents were questioned by the elders about my choice in weapons, but all that things didn't discourage me in the slight instead it only saws me how weak I was at that time.
With inspiration , and loved toward my parents, I started my practice of sword art, it didn't took me much time before acheiving significant breakthrough, I overcame one after another impossible task with my sword until I reach the apex of the world and eventually knows as sword God, said Alen with pride but soon let out a long sigh , remembering something from the past.
11th of the 5th months of the year 2565.
Summer city, Animalia kingdom.
Numerous building of various design stood sideways to each other separated by an path . The buildings architecture were quite weird as well as unique ,the huge buildings were made like some cave, narrow at front while broad on the other side just like a cave with statues on the top of every building.
The statue on the top of every building were made up of the shaped of various animal, some of them resembles a bull, while the other look like lion, moving onwards more and more building with different different animal statue on their top came to sight, but in all the animal's statue one of them outnumbered the others.
The cat statue, due to some reason there were more cat statue on the top of the buildings unlike other animals , soon the road came to end and the narrow path also became wider than before , at the end of road numerous people were rammed together in front of a building, not a building but more like a mansion.
Huge gates stood like an immovable wall at the entrance of the mansion , several guards with shield in their arms stood in front of the gates, Normally the guard of the mansion would always lazy around , or they gossip with one another to levitate there moods , but for some reason today the guard of the mansion were having a hard time , with smug expression on there face and large shield in their hand , they were trying their best to stop the hurdle of the crazy crowd in front of them from entering the mansion's gates.
The crowd consist numbers of people, indifferent to their age group, But if one were to look closely they will immediately notice an difference in their appearance, there body composition itself is like a human being, with hand legs and face, but despite all that they still have several limbs attached to their body giving an unique charm as well as fear to one's appearence.
Some of them have four hand, while other have four legs, Some posses Giant body, while other are diminutive , some have tails attached to them while the other were quite handsome. All in all despites their humanly appearance they still have some extra limbs as a part of their body, these are called mutant.
Let us in!
Let us go through!
You guys can't stop us from entering the gates.!
A large number of shout could be heard from the crowd every now and then, with every shout and yelling their strength also increases , by which the crowd is currently trying to breach the defensive wall of the guard in front of them..
The guards of the mansion were panicking, it was becoming harder and harder for them to stop the pursuit of the crowd in front.
They looked at each other, then look behind them and sighed helplessly.
Behind the gates stood a large mansion accompanied by lavish green land surronding it, just like an small island.
The mansion seems to be made of pure crystal , A Number of light effect takes place just as the sunlight hits the surface of the mansion, shimmering the surronding area with the dazzling light , The mansion itself is like a huge royal castle from an ancient architecture, but there was something specifically different about the mansion .
Unlike the other building before it doesn't have any statue embodied on its top instead some distance away from the mansion stood a large statue of an half animal and human, indeed a half human and animal or a mutant, just like a human the statute is made up of two legs , two hands and all the other limbs that a human would have expect for the ears, while an normal human would have their ears attached in the sideways direction to the forehead, the statue have a pair of large ears on top of its head just like an antenna.
The statue itself is 200 meters in heights, like an humongous giant, with sword in both hand , One sword pointing toward the sky as if its piercing the space , while the other in front direction , the figure in the statue look like an legendary figure from some fairy tail.
