The journey which was supposed to be a month journey was completed by Heero in ten days with his wound still open. Blood oozed out from his wound and his face looked exhausted.
Saint was shocked to see his disciple condition. The seven fairy mothers were also shocked as soon as they looked at Heero's condition. Currently, Heero was kneeling before his master, he had his face on the ground and said, "Master, I want to be stronger! Please train me! I want to be stronger!"
Heero's voice was hoarse and dry, but one could feel the strong determination behind the words. Saint was curious about what happened to his disciple, but his wives were ahead of him.
"Child! Don't worry, your master will train you. Even if he does not want, we will force him to. For now, let's treat your wound first, okay?"
After that, Heero's seven fairy mothers brought Heero inside to treat his injuries. When seven fairy mothers were treating his injuries, Heero told them what happened in Morabaka City. Not a single detail left, including his lover, friends, sister and the elder who treated him well.
Saint and his wives could feel Heero's anguish from the words that came out from Heero. They could feel it and the seven fairy mothers also turned furious when they heard their daughter-in-law was killed during the attack by Evil Dragon.
…
A week had passed since Heero came back to Nebraska Mountain. It took Heero a week to get completely recovered from the injuries he suffered.
"Master, I want to be stronger, please…!
"I know! I know, we will start after you have your breakfast!"
As soon as Heero healed, this was what he did. He asked to continue the training. Even though he had calmed down as his seven fairy mothers consoled him in the last week, the urge of revenge still became stronger.
And then, Heero continued his training under Saint's guidance.
Time passed by and five years had passed.
"I already taught all I have…" Saint held his chin as he fell into deep thought, "But if you feel it's still lacking, I can only bring you to meet them!"
It seemed his Master did not have a hundred percent confidence in him to defeat the God Specter Horas. Heero could perceive it based on his Master's words.
"Then let me meet them!" Heero responded spontaneously. His eyes were firm and resolute as he said this.
"Good!" Then, Saint brought Heero to the peak, the highest place of Nebraska Mountain. At the peak, Heero found a door and his Master brought him to the door.
From the outside, it was just a normal door made of wood. Saint opened the door and said, "What you are looking for is inside, you can go in!"
Behind the door, it was only darkness. Heero could see nothing, but only darkness. Without hesitation, Heero entered and found he was inside a cave? Heero himself did not know where he was but based on the interior, he seemed to be inside a giant cave.
"Hohoho, Saint send us another new toy. This boy comes at the right time, I am bored and want to play a little!" A sonorous voice sounded.
Heero looked toward the voice and found where it came from. However, after finding the owner of the voice Heero's mouth opened wide. He just could not believe what he was seeing.
Not only Phoenix, Dragon but there was also another creature that popped out. The creature he hated the most, God Specter. There was also God Specter here, four God Specters.
He found three Dragons, a couple of Phoenix, and four God Specters. Then another round of training began, he continued the "training" and this time it was the beasts and specters who trained him.
Another five years had passed and Heero came out of the door. After ten years of training, Heero was finally ready to fight, he was ready to kill God Specter Horas.
As soon as he came out, he said farewell to his Master and his seven mothers before he departed to Specter territory. He went ahead to God Specter Horas's castle.
A wing made of Ki formed on his back and he flew toward the direction of God Specter Horas' castle. With the wing made of Ki, it only took Heero three days to reach the castle.
As Heero headed toward the castle, he found many heroes camping outside the castle. The castle seemed to be surrounded by them. Heero however ignored the group of heroes and rushed in.
"God Specter Horas, I am coming. Offer your head to me!"
When the group of heroes noticed Heero rushed in toward the castle, they tried to prevent Heero. However, Heero did not listen to the warning and just directly headed inside the castle. But was caught in the trap
"Don't head to the castle, Horas has set up a trap! Don't get in!!!!" It was the warning, but Heero ignored the warning. Heero landed at the entrance and directly waked inside but then he suddenly couldn't move his body as coldness assaulted his body. Before he could understand what was going on he was sealed in Eternal Ice. This was the trap that God specter Horas had set for the heroes.
Although Heero was trapped in the ice he could see hero after hero went inside the castle. However, before the heroes entered the castle, they would pray to him. Besides praying, Heero also found some of the heroes were thanking him for opening the path toward the castle.
In the end, he was still unfortunate. Not only were all his achievements robbed from him by the other heroes, but he also became a sacrificial lamb to open the path in the expedition of slaying God Specter.
And then, an image appeared in his mind. It was the image of the last moment before his parents and grandfather died.
"Heero! Don't try to get revenge for us! You must survive and continue the Xing Family line!"
It was his parents' last wish. Even his grandfather also nodded his head at the side.
"Grandfather, I am sorry! I can't achieve your dream to be a great hero!"
"Father! Mother! Sorry, I am letting you down.
It seems I can't continue the Xing Family line!"
Then, slowly his conscious blurred, but then with the last spark of will, Heero shouted in his heart!
"Father! Mother! I will be obedient! I will stop being a Hero and continue our family line, please release me from this Eternal Ice!"
Then Heero lost his consciousness.
Maybe, his father, mother, and grandfather heard Heero's last shout. Heero somehow awakened and managed to break free from the Eternal Ice.
However, he found that he was not at the entrance of God Specter Horas' castle but inside water. Heero was confused but it was fortunate that he was not far from the land so.
Heero swam to the land and found himself in a foreign place. He was supposed to be sealed inside Eternal Ice at the entrance of God Specter Horas' castle. Yet he found himself in an unknown wasteland.
Yes, the place in front of him could only be described as a wasteland the soil was black, the trees were only left with trunks and branches. It was clear that the trees were dead. Not a single life could be… Found!
No, Heero actually found something, it was undead. However, these undead were different from the undead he used to know. The undead he found here had a form similar to that of a human, but their body seemed to be rotten.
Foreign land and weird undead, this place was completely new to Heero.
