Chapter 212 - Lightning Island Part 2

The ship anchors close to the shore of the mysterious island surrounded by a visible storm wall. The Ghosts were seen feeding the Ghost ship with mysterious-looking blue energy. The visible wounds on the ship slowly repair by the blue energy.

In the shore of the island. Standing on top of the soft yellow grains of sand were Mors and Catox. Mors could not help but breathe in the soft calming air of the island.

"Catox, are you sure this is the island with the other two materials I need?"

"Yes oh, great Second Death, the flow of magic is very strong in here. The phenomenon we just went through is just a small manifestation of the magic that surrounds this island."

Catox whispers as his blue eyes scan the large jungle that makes up a large portion of this island.

"The inhabitants of this place might know how to get what you want my lord"

"I hope so, they have been staring at us for quite a while. If they don't come out in five minutes I will personally call them out"

"Do what you think is the correct thing oh great Second Death."

Mors nods his head as he crosses his arms, as he waits for the inhabitants of this island to make their first move. Silence envelops the two men as they waited out. The first one to break the silence was Catox, he could not handle being quiet or being still for too long it seems.

"My lord, when do you plan to return to the Underworld?"

"Once me and Zhihui regain some of our original powers. It shouldn't take too long; we will bring order back to the Underworld."

"Great to hear.. That puts me at ease. I can't wait to pay off my debt."

"I am curious about something Catox."

"Feel free to ask me anything my lord, I will answer to the best of my abilities," The Ghost said as he bows down.

"How do you Ghost get stronger?"

"Um? I don't quite understand the question, my lord."

"Well, clearly you are stronger than the regular Ghost and are similar in strength to Izora. So how do you get stronger."

"…Sorry my lord but we can't get stronger like you. We just possess a similar strength to the one we had when we were still alive."

"I see. Thank you for answering."

"It's my pleasure."

Mors nods his head as he breathes in and he closes his eyes. He breathes out as he opens his eyes once again.

"My lo-"

The next second Mors runs towards the jungle, catching Catox and the inhabitant of the island by surprise. Mors enters the forest and takes out his trusted bow. Mors enchanted his legs with Qi as he jumps up high. Scaring the figure that was perching in the branches of the tree.

The humanoid figure with wings on its back started to fly deeper into the jungle. Mor's eyes never leave the figure as he smiles under his mask. Catox's voice sounded from beneath him.

"My lord what are you doing!?"

"A bit of stalking"

--------???-------

The woman could not help but breathe heavily as she continues to fly through the jungle. Dodging tree branches and the odd snake that try to jump at her.

'I must report back to the village! That other worlder was controlling Ghosts! We need to protect the village!'

The wing woman said to herself as she continues to fly, soon a medium clearing enter her eyes Small houses were building in the ground. The trees that surrounded the clearing had houses built in them as well. No bridges connected the tree houses to the ground. As the people who live here can all fly.

The guards look at her with curious eyes. Wondering why she returned too early. The Lighting Hawk woman landed in the center of the village as she tries to catch her breath. Sweat ran down her face. Her wings are still spread open as she tries to cool herself down.

"Nanda! What happen!? Why are you back so early?!"

"Call- the chief now!-- I saw another worlder!!"

"I- Got it!"

The man said as he rushes towards the chief house. The woman waited in her spot for no longer than three minutes. Soon three people stood in front of her. One of them is a beautiful woman with two pairs of large black wings. Her flowing blue hair sparkled like lighting.

"Nanda what do you mean there is an other worlder!?"

"Chief! I saw it with my own two eyes! The other worlder came in a Ghost fleet! He even commanded the Ghost like they were nothing! I was lucky enough to see them land on shore and repair their ship. So, a stay to keep watch…But the other worlder suddenly came towards me! So, I ran away!"

"Wait… you ran away? Did you check if you were being follo-"

Soon the sound of the warning horn echoes through the village. The color of Nanda's face disappears as the horn answers the question for her.

"Shit…prepared for a fight!"

The Chief said as she flew towards the origin of the horn sound. She arrives at the guard house, followed by two other Lighting Hawk men. She looks at the panic guard as she spoke with force in her voice.

"What happens?"

"Chief! Ghost! I saw Ghosts! They were grey in color and wearing weird clothing! Like other worlders!"

"Grey Ghosts? That sure is new.. I don't remember the Jungle Nagas having such Ghosts under their command. Maybe it's a special type of Ghost only that other worlder can command."

The woman turns to the two men behind her as she spoke.

"Preprepared for a battle! All body-able men and women must arm themselves!"

"Yes Chief!"

The two men behind her said as they flew out to carry out her commands. The woman kept an eye on the jungle in front of her. Keeping watch with the guard as she waited to see one of their grey Ghost. Soon she saw it. At the very edge of the jungle. Meters away from her village.

A grey Ghost dressed in strange clothing and wearing a mask. Arm with nothing more than a sword. Soon more of these ghosts started to come out from the jungle. All walking towards the village. Following close behind them was another worlder. Who looks oddly like the grey Ghost. The other worlder was followed close behind by a blue color Ghost.

She clouds feel it. The evil aura from the other worlder. The aura of pure death. She was sure he was showing an evil smile under that black mask.
