Chereads / The Legend of the Heavenly Beast / Chapter 3 - Awakening

Chapter 3 - Awakening

Kurogane looked at his mother lifeless body. As the colour in her green eyes faded away. The beautiful look on her face that once showed loved, and care was gone. Kurogane felt something leaving his body something that he held onto for a long time. But he also felt something flowing inside of him. Something dangerous. It was like a giant creature was looking over his pray. There was footstep coming from around the corner as a man wearing a black cloak with his sword out as it had blood on it. The man turned to see the site of the 3 royal guards and Kurogane holding his mother dead body. "Are you serious. All this time that I was hunting her turned out that she got herself killed. Man, this is a pain I was hoping to try out some new torture methods on her". Kotaro said walking up to the 3 royal guards. "Sir Kotaro what are you doing here I thought you were at the royal castle". One of the knights would say as he levitated his spear out of Yuki body and into his hand. The man swings his spear to clean the blood that was still on his spear. As Yuki blood went all over the place as it even got to Kurogane face. But he was unfazed with the blood of his mother that was one him. "Hey why the kid still alive weren't you guys supposed to kill him". Kotaro said as he was looking at Kurogane who was not paying attention as he was still looking and holding his mother body in silence "Well you see we were just about to finish the kid off but. This woman came out of nowhere and jumped in front of my attack. Killing herself to protect the kid". The knight said as he summoned his spear out of Yuki's body and into his hands. The guy started to spin his spare like the last time as the air around the place started to get absorbed. Kurogane did not move his hair covering his face as he did not care if he was suffocating. The spear shot with incredible speed that it made a sonic boom that destroyed the ground. Kotaro watched with joy as the spear was about to kill Kurogane in the centre of his chest. But something weird just happened as there was a blue lightning explosion that made the spear miss its target and hit an old clock tower. Kotaro and the 3 knights made an energy barrier to protect them from the giant rouble that was flying towards them.

About a 3 hour walk around the area where Kurogane was. There was an old looking man who had a long, short white bear and was wearing a straw hat which covered most of his face. The man was wearing a black martial gi that has the kanji for willpower at the back which was also covered by his long white hair. As the man was walking, he immediately stopped in his tracks as he turned to the right to look at the night sky. Lots of stars started moving towards a certain centre. Looking around, different stars started doing the same thing gathering in a certain place. As blue and red lighting could be seen in the sky, clouds started coming together as thine drops of water fell from the sky which started to rain. Looking up at the stormy clouds the two red and blue lighting formed together. Changing the colour to purple. As a terrifying hungry eye could be seen in the whole Nova kingdom. People who were outside stood in shock and silence. People who were in their houses came out just to stand in shock just like the people outside. But it wasn't just the Nova kingdom, the 11 kingdoms all over the world were experiencing the same thing. The sky crackled as lightning came red and blue just to forge into a purple looking eye. Lighting came falling to the ground making a good 3rd of the Nova kingdom to be vanquished causing 48 people, building to be destroyed. Cracks came from the ground as the fire tornado scorched the lands. People ran trying to escape from this unknown apocalypse weather. As people are running trying to find safety against the apocalypse weather. Knights came to the scene helping the people to the safe zone which was a large black and purple dome that had 7 hexagon sections inside the dome. while half of the knights was doing that the other half was trying to stop the fire or trying to delays it. But it was to late half of the knights where burnt to crisp as once the fire got on you it will burn you until you stop moving. Not even freezing the person will help. Trying to help there comrades most people failed to notes a crack coming from the sky which a lager black tentacle could been seen. 

Back to Kurogane

Kotaro and the 3-knight looked around as they saw the sky going from night to an apocalypse storm in less than 3 minutes ago. Kotaro felt that it was not just happening just here but probably the 12 nations. His thought was pulled back after he saw purple lightning coming towards him. Spinning to the right and getting a little stung Kotaro now looked at Kurogane which a red and purple aura started leaking out of him like crazy. His energy projected a monster with glowing red eyes, razor sharp teeth that can rip a water leviathan in two. Kotaro watch in horror. Just seeing Kurogane aura was bad, but this was outrages. Taking one step forward Kurogane made a small yet a deep crater. The 4 of them took a step back as their instinct was tell them to run. One of them fired 20 fire spears towards Kurogane. But Kurogane looked up to see 20 fire magic attack that was heading in his direction. Time seems to slow down as the fire attack was not moving as fast as he saw them. Moving his head to the left one of the attacks flew by him and hitting a wall and causing it to explode. Facing his head to the rest of them Kurogane flash step 4 feet away and jumped and twisted in mid-air avoiding 3 more attack. Kurogane turned in front to see one of the attacks was right in front of him. Not having enough time to move out of the way Kurogane took the attack head on with the rest of the 16th. Shooting him to the wall and a building falling on top of him. As the dust cloud filled the whole area Kotaro and the 3 knights all looked in shock as they saw Kurogane standing with zero damage. It was like they never hit him at all. "IMPOSSIBLE THERE NO WAY ANYONE COULD LIVE AFTER GETTING HIT WITH MY HELL FIRE ATTACK". One of the knights would say after he launch his third most powerful attack that could burn people from the inside out. He tried again but this time with more power. Kurogane saw them same attack again coming towards him. Time slowed down once again as Kurogane started moving towards the attack. Unlike last time Kurogane doge all the 20th attack and seeing how they work he tried doing it too. Kotaro watch as Kurogane doge all the attack like it was noting to him. But what was more surprising was that he fired 20 hell flams like one of the royal guards did but this time it was not red but blue. Kotaro was about to move out of the way, but he saw there was another attack coming his way with much speed that could problem match that of a high racking knight at top speed. Not being able to move on time Kotaro summoned his white sword from his side and into his hands. With great speed Kotaro deflect and cut all Kurogane attack. As Kotaro looked around, he saw the 3 royal knights dead on the ground. Their body was burnt as you would not know if they were royal guards. Looking at Kurogane Kotaro saw his eyes. His eyes were glowing a golden colour with slit in them. Fear got the better of him as Kotaro slash the air with great force that formed a large wind blade attack the size of a clock tower. Launching the attack at Kurogane. But Kurogane stood still as he caught the attack with his left arm and destroyed it. "NO THAT CAN'T BE POSSIBLE NO ONE CAN HOLD PURE ENGERY AND DESTROYED IT. YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE A PROTECTOR OR A SAVIOURS WHICH IS ALMOST IMOSSIBLE TO REACH THAT KIND OF LEVEL." Kotaro said felling fear now rising inside his body. Kurogane did not say anything as he was not himself. As he lost control of his own body as he was acting on his instinct alone. From a far we could he the same old man wearing his straw hat and the kanji on his back for willpower. "So, this is where all this power was coming from I must say I never meet one single kid with this kind of potential. I wonder what the kid will do next".
