"...Mi... Mi... Mi... MICHAELA?!!!"
Lillian said with fear as she passed out while standing.
While her seductive smile turns to one of pure horror as she became stiff.
Meanwhile, when Xander looks at her figure his eyes open up in amusement, after all just by saying Michaela's name this woman straight up faints while standing with her eyes open Xander saw this as an opportunity and decided to walk back from where he came.
But as soon as he made it a meter to the door, the barrier shot an electrical whip toward him, it was too fast to dodge, however, Xander still has his nigh-indestructible tablet with him, and by instinct, he react just fast enough to shield himself with it.
And surprisingly the tablet began to absorb the electrical current, but the impact of the attack was very powerful because it began to send Xander flying off his feet, which cause him to fly at least fifty meters into the air.
"Shit shit this is too high."
"I'm screwed, no it's snowing, yeah I rather break an arm than be tripled in this place."
So with that said Xander began to adjust his body, he planned to cushion his fall by sacrificing his left hand, it was better than snapping his neck, or breaking a leg.
"Damit here goes nothing."
However moments before he touches the ground, he was surprised to see the beautiful Gibbous hidden between thick clouds.
"Wait wasn't I falling a moment ago?"
But to his surprise.
A familiar voice, although less seductive and more serious could be heard.
"Michaela would throw my ass into the sun again if she found out her son was injured in any way possible, and I was capable of stopping it, I might be powerful, and immortal but I can still feel pain."
At these words, Xander look to his side, and that's when he saw a familiar woman, with grey skin, cold lapis eyes, and a seductive white Kimono.
It was Lilian or the special snow-type Diva, that has the soul of a foreigner not of this world, or maybe has the soul of a succubus of this world, but got reincarnated into a Yukki-Onna, I don't know the specifics but the two of them seems plausible if you ask Xander.
She seems to have noticed me at the very last minute about to fall to death and in fear for her life, she react and caught me, and now Xander was flying through the sky as a Yokki-Onna proceed to princess carry him through the night sky.
Eventually, Lilian began to lose their attitude, and she land gracefully on the snow, when Xa der saw this he realize that unlike him who was engulfed by the snow, Lilian seem to be able to walk on the surface of the snow without sinking into it's depths.
She then gently places Xander down and bends down to his level meeting him eye to eye.
"Ok, you brat what the hell are you doing here, do you want your mother to torture me with fire again?"
Xander facial expression remained as stoic as ever, his response was direct and right to the point.
"I got bored and decide to sneak out of my room to play outside, but no one told me that my crazy ass mother set traps in the house, and here we are."
Lilian had an unimpressed look as she hold her head, it looks like she was moments away from getting a headache.
"FUCKKKK!!! I swear kid, if you were anyone else I would have r*pe you to death, and proceeded to devour your flesh, bone, and blood, haha... Sigh what's down is down I guess."
"So what now?"
Xander looks at the thick snowwoman who immediately responds.
"I would take you home but im sealed on this mountain, im an abomination or so those high-table bastards say, either way, it's not all bad here, I get rewarded for being on good behavior, meaning I can eat anyone who trespassed on my territory, and request anything that I want as long as it not too unreasonable, but apart from the fact you walk through Michaela doors of trial, anyone that steps through that door naturally should die by my hands, but I can't kill you so I will have to give you this for the time being, damn what a waste, well I can't use it anyway, my existence is bound here by that seal."
And with those words said Space and reality began to crack beside Lillian as if it was frozen, and after space was cracked, she place her hand inside the cracked hole and pull out, a necklace with a key on it.
She then places the key in my hands and said.
"This is one of my seven sacred treasures the world key, it was made from the wood of the world tree, and with this, you can travel through different dimensions, even time travel to any desired point, going as far as to exit our reality to lesser our higher worlds or realm, but I seal it's the power to a great deal, im not giving this to you, im merely lending this to you, I alter it so you can open doors so you can travel anywhere you have been to at least once in your life."
"Take my advice, kid stay in your room, your lucky you entered my prison, if it was anyone else you would experience hell beyond your wildest dream, now you should be going now, and please don't tell Michaela you sneak in here, I don't want that thing anywhere near my mountain."
Lilian pleaded, with Xander.
"Ah. Ok. But how do I use this key?"
"Just think of an invisible door that will lead you to your desired location, push the key in it, turn the key, and the door will open the portal, now then please go on your way, and remember to take care of that key, it won't work for anyone else but you, however, it could make you a target."
"Um. Thanks miss, ah what's your name?"
"Name, ah, it's Lilian, but remember please don't tell your mother you came here, you can get in trouble as well you know."
"Ok, it's a promise."
Xander said with a fake but cute smile on his face, acting all innocent and cute in front of the Yokki-Onna, Lilian look at his finger, for some weird reason she feels weird in front of this boy, it wasn't attachment, no it was a concern for herself, he is weak, but for some reason, he feels like she was interacting a tricky and conniving snake.
It amazes her how his face can go from seamlessly emotionless, to a bright smile full of life, in under a second as if it was mere technique, it doesn't help that he strongly smells like one too.
However, she didn't care, Michaela was someone she hates, but also fear enough to change her life choices, and actions just by using her name in such a way.
There was a chance this boy was lying, but then and again, Michaela did say she got an adopted child she want to protect, and the description of how the child looked does fit how he was described to her, yes he was a boy with albino-colored skin, his eyes were a menacing crimson red, and his hair was long, and colored black, one sight of it anyone could see that it's silky to the touch.
The boy looks majestic and cute, giving him the vibe of someone who has reached a level of tranquility impossible to achieve for one so young, he looks enlightened even, however, she wasn't taking any chances, because if the boy goes through that door he would just be teleported somewhere else.
And that was a risk she wasn't going to take, not when he is related to the Arch Seraph Michaela, so she gave him one of her seven sacred treasures to escape this place, although this boy has the luck of the Gods, so much so, she was even thinking he was using the Meta Luck technique.
But that wasn't the case, because unknown to her, Xander Celestial King Meditation was to blame for this lucky encounter.
And it would only get more insane as time goes on.
No Xander looks at the woman once more smiling as he got up brushing the snow off of himself, he then proceeds to imagine a door, and as Lillian said, a normal door appears before him, his key already inside the lock, he then look at the beautiful snow woman and said.
"Thanks a lot, Lily, you're a lifesaver."
And with those words said the door open up to his room and he walk right in, it then closed behind him, leaving Lilian dumbfounded by his sudden nickname for her.
"Lily... That's a name I haven't heard a for long time."
...
"Holy shit, that was too fricking lucky, who would have thought that I would get such a busted cheat item, maybe the system does have my best interest, nah. This has to be the affects of me constantly increasing my luck with Celestial King Meditation."
"Well, either way, im not complaining because this is exactly what I need to complete this mission, now let's watch Hasha sleep, and then I can meet the Dark merchant, this encounter has truly made me realize that I need some offensive and defensive techniques."
