Rex Violet heard his weak disciple's call. He lowered his body, then cleaned the remaining blood and wounds from Elurian. It felt strange that since Elurian appeared, his disciple kept bothering him, for some reason he kept worrying him.
At first, Rex Violet thought it was just a momentary feeling of interest in a new toy. It's true, he did think of Elurian as his new toy at the beginning of their meeting. However, for unknown reasons, his emotions, which were frozen, became strange.
He felt he had to reveal this oddity and find out what was wrong. So, for some time he left his disciple in the manor and he himself went somewhere to get the information he wanted.
Unfortunately, some parties were bound by causality so they couldn't tell him. He, who was planning to head to one of the black towers as his last resort for information, suddenly felt a bad feeling.
He has the ability to predict, as well as see the fate of other people. However, it cannot exceed the limits of permitted causality. Again, causality prevents him from doing whatever he wants.
Rex Violet was irritated by that and almost wanted to break his boundaries without caring about the consequences. Of course, he still had the common sense not to do it and chose to be patient. If he took that step, then this world might enter another round.
His bad feeling at that time led him to find out that his disciple had been kidnapped and was in the Twilight Forest. It was a joke how the guides that he was assigned to look after him were completely oblivious.
Apparently, there were two cunning traitors who were worth killing his disciple. Two new guides followed, both of which were not prominent enough and tended to be in the shadows. They were only assigned to be his subordinates when he created the Violet Sanctuary.
Rex Violet immediately found his disciple who was almost frozen to death, then dragged the two traitors to be dealt with.
....
"Who told you guys to kill him?" Rex Violet interrogates them, apparently having been brainwashed.
The two of them were like puppets being controlled, something beyond his expectations. That was because before he left, he made sure these two weren't puppets. That means they became puppets right after he left.
His red eyes on the right side and violet on the left side narrowed. The circle of fate of the two guides had turned gray, motionless like dead objects.They are empty shells with pent-controlled souls. How and who did it, Rex Violet only had a few guesses.
Only entities equal to him or stronger than him, in short those entities must have divinity. Among the guides, the one with the highest divinity is himself, Rex Violet.
"We have to kill him! He stole it! He stole it!"
Like broken dolls, they echoed the same words over and over again. Rex Violet frowned, not understanding what they meant.
Rex Violet eventually wiped them out completely because there was no point in interrogating them anymore. He once thought about the origin of his disciple who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Why did it seem like there was a mastermind controlling the fate around his disciple?
...
He paid more attention to Elurian, training him personally, only to find that his talent was weak. His pupil was so weak that he couldn't sense even the slightest bit of aether.
It was very strange because during the selection, his disciple showed high talent among other children. The artifact that tested his talent also confirmed that. So, what went wrong?
Rex Violet became more and more curious, it was because this small anomaly shouldn't exist.
He still wanted to observe him and without realizing it, this strange affection emerged. If he loves something, he can never let it go. Likewise, he likes his role as a guide.
However, having affection for someone is clearly different. Rex Violet tried to get rid of those emotions and set boundaries.
It was a pity, the more often he saw his disciple, the more his strange affection grew. As if what was originally just a small seed has now become a sturdy tree, a tree that cannot be uprooted.
He held back his feelings until his disciple started to become increasingly strange. Suddenly informing him of the prophecy of the Mutation Disaster, which he already knew, with a mysterious change in eyes color.
...
"I didn't plan on dealing with it, but because of the prophecy, the fate that was supposed to be unchangeable started to bend."
Rex Violet watched the group of monsters outside the Sanctuary getting crazier. Darkness engulfed the entire sky and aether energy containing waves of madness infiltrated every crevice of living creatures.
The illusory book reappeared and the page flipped to the page with the shield symbol. Rex Violet aimed the large-scale shield at the three Sanctuaries in the Liyun region.
It was really draining and he was getting a little tired. It was at that moment, he felt it again. A premonition similar to when his student almost froze to death in the Twilight Forest.
However, this time the intensity felt stronger. An indescribable anxiety came over his heart. Rex Violet immediately withdrew the book of illusions and opened a door portal to immediately move to his Sanctuary.
When he arrived, the sight he saw made his heart tremble. The little Elurian was really dying, almost turning into a monster.
If it wasn't for luck that the blue moon finally appeared, his disciple would not have survived.
In that moment, Rex Violet finally acknowledged his own emotions and no longer tried to push it away.
....
Again, something happened when he left his student alone. It was as if an entity, equal to him, couldn't accept his existence disciple and was doing everything possible to kill him.
He couldn't hold it in anymore, he had to find out information about his disciple and find out the cause. So, he was once again forced to go find the figure he hated the most.
Ei, Master of Fraud and Thief, who was one of those entities who acts as he pleases. He isn't a guide, he was an entity that likes to watch over the world that will be swallowed by the Tower of Desire.
With his identity and abilities, he could find out all kinds of information from the world targeted by the Tower of Desire, then he acted as an observer who enjoyed watching the story.
Also, Ei can violate causality as long as he wants, that was because he can bear the punishment of that causality to a certain extent. Unlike Rex Violet, if he violated causality, then the price would be too great to handle.
So, Rex Violet offers a golden ticket in exchange for the information that requires violated causality.
He finally knew the identity of his disciple. A soul from another world, which should not be able to exist in this world.
...
After accepting the truth, Rex Violet decided to go to one of the black towers. Get something from there before returning to his manor.
Of course, he had that feeling again twice while he was in the tower. He couldn't just leave the tower as long as he didn't finish his business, so Rex Violet hoped that his subordinates would be a little useful in looking after his disciple.
...
Then, now...
"Master?"
His little pupil, who was like a pitiful rabbit, looked at him in fear and shock.
"What should I do with you?" Rex Violet embraces him, finally accepting him as the only person worth his salt. That made him give up on his ultimate goal.
