"Amazing, to think a bunch of random soldiers that I didn't even scout would suddenly become fearless generals standing in front of me, charging towards the front lines when the time comes. Sigh, I really am too cool. Even random soldiers become army-slaughtering generals when placed before me,"
The arrogant side of Raion got the better of him and he bragged about how awesome he was, though an exaggeration, it was also true at the same time.
"Okay, it's about time isn't it, Nyx, Chris and everyone else cease movement on the outside. For now, the world is going to undergo big changes very soon. Make sure you do keep an eye out for them,"
Chris, Nyx and the others nodded in understanding since Raion said something big was going to happen, something might actually happen and it would be big.
"To think that the journey would end so quickly, I really am too cool. Welp, before I call them over, I better check on my seedlings!"
Muttering this, Raion snapped his fingers and made ten silver mirrors out of thin air. He looked into the first one, his view was completely transferred to another place; a deserted island in China.
"Banzan's tantrums are becoming more and more frequent,"
"Yeah, I heard he had over ten today already!"
"What? That much?!"
"Yeah, and did you realize, every time a tantrum of his happens, something significant happens, a friend of mine in the upper echelons said that all through this week, numerous strange things have been happening, like unusual energy fluctuations in several places of the world, I also happened o get a hold of the times these things happened, and they all line up with the times of Banzan's tantrums,"
"What, impossible!"
"It is,"
"So what're you insinuating? That Banzan caused all these?"
"Hmm, I'm not sure, but considering the number of times this has happened, coincidence is out of the question, and Banzan might just have a vague connection to it, like sensing when it happens. He might not necessarily be the cause of it all,"
Another set of guards different from the last time Banzan checked on Banzan conversed about things that might have seemed otherworldly for normal humans.
'Oho, this monk is more special than I thought, he must be the only non-inheritor that is able to sense such thin energy fluctuations in this Universe! Amazing, the talents of the people I've gathered are just to good,'
He looked for a while and saw that Banzan's cell was being inspected, so he decided to stall his probing of Banzan.
He moved on to the next one; the monk was known as Shi Juexin, currently he was doing what he always did when Raion checked up on him, practising fist techniques on a tree. The tree was to be pitied, but so was the monk. His fist was bloodied everywhere.
Suddenly the monk felt it again, the weird feeling he had been getting during the past few days. The feeling was one of total suppression; it was like being viewed by a giant eye in the sky, unable to run or hide.
Raion nodded from the other side of the silver screen, Shi Juexin's growth over the past few days surprised and gave him satisfaction.
"Hmm, this seedling will be a fast learner."
Following that, Raion closed the silver screen he was looking in and looked into another one. In this screen was a black-clothed person who was breathing and panting heavily, he looked like he was escaping from something. The person was dressed like a ninja. He was dirty, with sand and blood covering him everywhere. His clothes were also torn, probably due to weapons such as knives, or shurikens, that is if he is indeed a real ninja.
"Where do you think you're going Kurayami? After attempting an assassination on the leader of our clan,"
The chasers were dressed in heavy amour and held small handguns, strapped to their backs were katanas dripping with blood. The katanas were probably what was used to stab the ninja known as Kurayami.
"Hahaha, what the fuck?! I'm only getting my revenge, you bastards killed my parents and my brother, raped my sisters!"
The men chasing didn't seem surprised at all but instead laughed with themselves.
"Kekeke, they tasted wonderful!"
A man who seemed to be the leader of the chasers laughed evilly.
"Bastards! For your actions, you shall pay!"
Kurayami yelled angrily, the rage visible from under his mask.
'Keke, Smh, such a classic plot, can't the japanese come up with something new?'
Raion muttered unamused, he could only keep those thoughts to himself and continue to watch.
*Bang*
A large bang was heard and a cloud of black smoke covered up the silver screen.
Everyone knew what happened, the ninja known as Kurayami used a smoke bomb. No one except Raion knew what happened next.
Spurts of blood flew across the black background, giving the originally bland area a more, you could say refined look.
The smoke cleared, and the ninja stood there panting heavily. A pile of corpses lay next to him. The next thing he did could have cost him his life if Raion did not interfere.
The motherfucker collapsed on the spot.
"Fuck it! I really wanted to look cool by calling all ten of them at once, it seems one will take an early flight."
If you're wondering, Raion was in the foul-mouthed narcissistic mode as Nyx liked to call it. It was the form in which she met him, white-haired and red-eyed.
Raion made a grasping motion with his hand and pulled forth.
Through the screen, one could see Kurayami disappearing from the spot in which he was in and consequently, he appeared in the secret room above Mount Everest.
The teleportation caused Kurayami to awaken from his unconsciousness. He was in a completely different surroundings.
This place didn't feel like Japan at all, just where in the world was he?!
As though he could sense what was on his mind. Raion reverted back to his elegant looking state and said in perfect Japanese.
"Welcome to Elysium!"
