Cross was already long gone, wheeling off into the distance, hoping to find even a single person. Unexpectedly, he found no one. He turned his head and looked around to see and absolutely massive tree in the distance. He raised the only eyebrow he had and wheeled in the direction of the Tree.
Coincidentally, Lu Mingxuan passed by and they missed each other. She was anxious and scared, she saw his condition before, she didn't see the necklace though. She needed to find him immediately!
A while later
Cross wheeled to a city, he stopped in the distance and whistled. A crack opened and Saya walked out of the Inner World. Turns out that before he went to the arena, Saya and 10 million Dark Elves collected the mission and came back, the rest of the Dark Elves died tragically.
Saya was startled and said quickly "Your Highness! You!" Cross said "Shh... Change to a Wood Elf and push me into the city." Saya did as she was told and transformed into a beautiful woman with golden blonde hair and a light green sundress. She pushed the wheelchair and Cross said "Don't call me Your Highness..."
He had a sly smile and said "Call me, Big Brother~" Saya pursed her lips and blushed faintly as she said "Your Highness... I didn't know you felt that way about me~" Cross chuckled and said "This is for infiltration, Saya." Saya smiled beautifully saying "As you wish, Big Brother~"
Cross smiled and leaned back in the wheelchair, slapping the armrest with his hand. The wheelchair changed to a more comfortable version and Cross had a comfortable smile as he said "Much better." Saya smiled and they entered the city.
Cross looked around and saw elves! Everyone here was an Elf! Wood Elves, Forest Elves, Water Elves, Moon Elves... Cross couldn't believe his eyes! Saya was similarly shocked and she said "Big brother.. Are we?" Cross frowned and said "Continue, Saya."
Saya continued walking in the city and Cross surveyed the Elves around with a appraising eye. He watched their demeanors, personalities, eyes, and other things. He frowned at the happy atmosphere, he saw a little elf girl selling flowers on the road. She was dirty and wore rags but she had a smile on her face as she sold flowers, presumably to feed herself or someone else.
Cross raised his hand and Saya stopped, a young man walked by and trampled the flowers. The little girl was devastated and teared up, the man looked down and sneered as he said "Filthy Snow Elf." he kicked he little girl to the side and said "Dare to sully this young master's shoes."
The elves around started whispering "Isn't that the Sun Elves' Young clan master? What's he doing in our city? Shouldn't he be in the Royal City?" another elf said "You don't know, 'Mother' finally reacted a while ago. It should be time for a new king!"
Someone else piped up "I heard the Sun Elves' Young Clan master is in line for the throne! I mean it would make sense, the patriarch is the acting King after all." the rest sighed and Cross frowned, motioning Saya with his hands.
Saya pushed him to the little girl, who was crying and holding her stomach. Cross felt his heart break looking at the crying little girl. He reached out and helped her up with a smile, murmurs erupted and the Sun Elves' young clan master frowned saying "Did I say you could help her, Cripple?"
Cross ignored him and said softly to the little girl "Are you okay?" The little girl sniffled and nodded, Cross picked her up and put her on his lap saying with a smile "Big Brother will bring you to eat food, okay? Do you have a brother? Sister? Parents?" the little girl teared up and said "N-No..." Cross hugged her and stroked the back of her head as he said "How about you come with me from now on, okay?"
The Sun Elves' Young Clan master shouted angrily "Are you ignoring me?!"
The little girl said "You... You want to adopt me?" Cross smiled and said "Do you want me to?" The little girl nodded excitedly saying "Can I call you Papa?" Cross smiled and said "Sure. Do you have a name?"
The little girl shook her head and Cross said "You're new name is Sora, how's that?" Sora cried happily and hugged Cross saying "I love it, papa!" he smiled and signaled Saya to leave. The Sun Elves' young clan master stood in the way and shouted "Do you know who I am!?"
Cross said "A soon to be corpse, if you don't step out of the way. A mere Sun Elf is this rampant, I truly fear the mess that is the Royal City." the Sun Elves' Young Clan Master grinded his teeth and said "You bastard! You must be a spy of the Great Brahma!"
The surrounding Elves gasped and looked at Cross, who was frowning hard. Cross looked at all the surrounding Elves and sighed deeply, the Sun Elves' Young Clan master sneered and said "You have nowhere to escape, traitor! 'Mother' will deal with you!"
Cross said "The situation is worse than I thought... Saya, let's go." Saya pushed the wheelchair around the Sun Elf, who stepped in the way saying "Trying to escape!?" Cross said coldly "Block me again, and I will kill you. Don't test my tolerance, boy. I have no problems spilling blood here."
The Sun Elf froze at Cross' gaze.
Currently, Cross was wasted, only his fleshy body and one eye was available for use but to clean up this trash. It was very simple. Even if he was a true cripple, Saya was Half-step Heavenly God Realm from the resources in the Inner World.
The Sun Elf never felt a fear like this one before, it came from deep in his soul. He looked at the people, who were looking at him in shock. He grit his teeth and said "You won't escape!" Cross looked up and his left eye glowed with a cruel and vicious light.
The Sun Elf suddenly had his head explode into blood mist. Cross looked at his corpse and it disappeared as he said "Saya, go to a restaurant." Saya left with a smile, sure enough even if he was crippled his demeanor never changed, this was her King!
Cross, Sora, and Saya ate at a restaurant. Sora was shoveling food into her mouth, as if it was her last meal. Cross was amused and Saya fed him, much to his annoyance, but she said "You're very weak right now, let me feed you!"
Cross sighed and just let it happen, he felt light headed from just killing the Sun Elf... This wasn't a good sign. He sighed and paid for the meal with the Life Crystals he got from the Sun Elf.
The Elves used a different currency, consisting of Life Crystals. There were three different colors, Green, Purple, and Gold. Based on the amount of Life energy in the crystals, the more expensive the crystal with Green being the lowest.
Gold Life Crystals were the most expensive Life Crystals, one of them was worth 1000 Purple Life Crystals and one Purple Life Crystal was worth 10,000 Green Life Crystals. So a single Gold Life Crystal was worth 10 Million Green Life Crystals.
Fortunately, the Sun Elf was a rich man/elf and had tons of purple and green Life Crystals, but he only had 1 Gold life crystal, goes to show how rare the Gold Life Crystals really were.
Regardless of the rarity, the Gold Life Crystals were truly treasures. They were full of life and coincidentally used for cultivation as well as healing. Cross used a purple Life Crystal and absorbed the aura, but nothing happened. It was basically a drop into an empty ocean.
Cross sighed and kept the crystals as money, he tested throwing the green crystal into the black soil and surprisingly gave off the Life Aura equivalent to a World King beast corpse. He threw a purple one and sure enough it was a Hierarch Corpse, but he kept the Gold Life Crystal, he only had one. These magical things were amazing, who knows what other uses they had?!
Saya wheeled Cross around, while Sora sat on Cross' lap. Cross held her wrist and looked into her body, feeling out her bones, blood, and roots. He hummed to himself, she had normal talents, but that was okay!
He rubbed her snow white hair gently, injecting Supreme talents into her body. How many people had he killed? He had everything to make a Supreme of his own, the only question was what would she become? What was he missing? An Archer? No.
Cross thought to himself as he slowly changed Sora's body into a Supreme Seedling, while Sora pushed him to a Transmission array. They left the town and immediately after they left, a bunch of Elves showed up, looking for him. They spread a wanted poster with the limited details they had.
Though the details were limited, the picture was spot on. It was exactly Cross' face with bandages over the right side of his head, the eye pattern in full color, the golden markings on his face, and his pointed ears.
It was as if they took a picture from up close, how they got that much detail, well it was very simple. The Sun Elf had a picture of Cross' face sent to the Clan Master when he died, they immediately spread wanted posters and labeled him a Spy and Killer with a bloodied soul, a shame to the Elven Race.
Things were getting interesting.
Cross was currently sitting in his wheelchair, looking out the window from an inn. He watched the Elves walk by on the streets and even saw Elves passing out and putting up wanted posters of him. He looked at the posters and chuckled as he read the words.
He was a Spy for the Great Brahma? How come he didn't know?
He wheeled away from the window and struggled to get into the bed, Saya came in and saw him struggling. She helped him into the bed before smiling at his disgruntled and angry face, she said "Your Highness, you're very weak right now. Just focus on recovering, let me do all the work."
Cross replied "I can do it myself, Saya." Saya was helpless and said "Yes, yes. I know, just take it easy." Cross huffed and puffed but quickly fell asleep, Sora was curled up next to him with a little white dress on.
Saya gently moved the hair away from Cross' face and laid down in the bed next to him. This little assassin wasn't acting like a subordinate at all! If Cross was awake he would definitely be disgruntled and complain.
The next morning
Cross went to shower and grinded his teeth and his useless body. Saya was more than happy to help, she cleaned his body and dressed him. Cross was angry, this damn horny assassin! He wore the flower Kimono with the right sleeve hanging limp by his side, his black shorts, and a single pink fluffy bunny slipper.
The shorts were covering his manhood, but his right leg was only a nub that was ¾ of his thigh. Half way from his shorts to where he knee was, was completely gone. Leaving only a scarred nub and flesh over his right leg.
His face was covered with a black blindfold, that covered his right eye diagonally, circling around his head to his left forehead. The right side of his face was scarred and he had a scar over his lips, across his nose, and his entire right ear was missing.
Thankfully, his hair grew back quickly and covered the right side of his head or he really wouldn't have the face to be seen outside. The inside of his Kimono showed his torso and thankfully covered his entire right side that was filled with scars and had chunks of flesh missing.
In short, he looked very fierce and scary. Not at all the handsome Elf he once was, unfortunately. But maybe this was a different charm? A war torn charm, more mature less fresh. It was hard to tell but his entire being radiated confidence and seriousness.
He made a sword out of the Sunfire and Moonfire wood, making the entire thing blood red in color with black immortal bones for a hilt and Red Immortal Demon Blood Gold for a guard. The Jiu Li First Gen. characters for 'Slaughter the Gods' were carved into the blade itself and filled in with his own blood.
The entire sword and dunked in the blood from the eye and radiated killing intent. It was a True Immortal-Grade Weapon! It was in a black sheath, that had the characters for 'Destroy the Heavens' engraved on it and filled in with Immortal Bone.
The entire sword had runes swimming on it, they were very faint, almost invisible, but if you looked very closely you could see them. Cross leaned the sword named 'God Slayer' on his left shoulder and wrapped his arm around it.
Sora sat on his lap and leaned her back against Cross', listening to his stories. Cross was slowly teaching her Jiu Li First Gen. language, mixing it in with children stories he heard a long time ago.
Saya was stunned at Cross' actions, even she could achieve enlightenment from his words and it was being used on a child. She noticed that Cross was grooming Sora, but for what, she didn't know. She had the faint feeling that she would be in trouble if she didn't start showing her worth.
