I opened my eyes and we were all in the Chaos Breaker
But now with the big difference that Peragius was waiting for us in the teleportation circle.
He also looked...very angry...
He tapped his foot on the ground in a symbol of anxiety and had his arms crossed and with a frown he looked at us.
I could also notice that in his right hand he had... 3 divinely decorated swords
Peragius may have been thinking of the wrong idea so he brought out a sword he also had, this worked and Peragius' expression lightened slightly.
He gave a deep sigh and walked towards us.
-I guess you already know why I called you right?- Peragius said
-Yes, from what I see I have an idea- I said with a slight smile.
-This is no time for jokes Rudeus, this is serious- Peragius scolded me so I stayed quiet
-Less than half an hour ago while I was sleeping, 3 spirits of light tried to attack me while I was sleeping, but they were dispatched by Almanfi- Peragius said
-Now I want to know why, to begin with, how come the attackers were spirits of light, Orsted you know very well that only I know how to summon such complex spirits of light.-Peragius said in a stern tone
-Even so...assuming that you have lived for millennia...in one of those loops I should have told you, right? But if you wanted to kill me you would do it yourself without the need for spirits of light- Peragius murmured
-You're right about that- Orsted said with a mocking smile
-Hmm, if it's true, I also noticed something, those spirits of light are imperfect, they have no concrete form and were only programmed to attack- Peragius explained
-Still...their weapons are very cinematic and based on those swords they carry I suppose I was not the only one who was attacked- Peragius said
-Yes, they attacked my house while I was sleeping and now it's destroyed inside- I muttered
-b-but...if the spirits got here...no...- I muttered to myself
-Mr. Peragius, I want to ask you a big favor- I said.
-Hmm? What's wrong?- he replied with a raised eyebrow.
-My house is no longer safe, I don't know if I can protect my wives from another attack like that...so I ask you please to let my family stay in the castle while I resolve this- I said while bowing
-....I suppose that given the circumstances I have to accept, right? It's okay, your family can stay as long as they want- Peragius said with a smile
-Thank you very much sir!- I said bowing
-It's nothing, besides it's very late and I want to sleep, settle in the room you like- Peragius said as he retired to his chambers
-Mr. Orsted, despite everything that happened, I will continue with the plan to visit Atofe tomorrow to look for Kishirika- I said.
-Okay, Alek, you will stay here to ensure the safety of Rudeus' family- Orsted said
He nodded willingly and retreated to a room suspiciously close to Lara's...
-Rudeus, I know it was just a spirit that attacked your house, but those things were immune to magic, how did you do it?- Orsted asked me.
-Well, you see...I don't know how to explain it but...for some reason...I was able to make a light blade without using the MK2...- I muttered.
Orsted raised an eyebrow slightly at this and looked at me.
-Are you sure? Can you do it again?- Orsted asked.
-Ah....I guess so....- I said as I took one of the swords we had collected.
In total we had 7 Yulian Jalisco swords with us and Orsted planned to keep them
I took the one that belonged to Gino Britz and got into a combat stance.
The plan was simple, execute a Blade of Light and Orsted would deflect it with his hands...
The correct way to do a Light Blade is to have your whole body in sync
Paul was never able to execute it because his right foot applied more pressure than his left foot when walking.
This simple, small imbalance caused Paul to never be able to advance to Sword Saint when he was alive...I took a deep breath, closed my eyes for a moment and...
-hah!...-
A wave of light shoots out from my sword towards Orsted at an enormous speed only to be effortlessly dispelled by Orsted.
He looked at me with his eyes wide open and analyzed me momentarily.
-Fascinating....your Blade of Light is a bit stronger than that of an average Sword Saint- Orsted said with a smile
-But...how is that possible? You can't use Touki naturally, without Touki it would be totally impossible for you to reach this level- Orsted said while looking at me with a raised eyebrow.
-Well, well...that's the question, sir...on our last trip to the Demon Continent, Kishirika, besides giving me the Demon Eye, analyzed my mana and saw that there was a Touki around me...But I never thought it would be so strong - I murmured
-hmmm...next time you meet Kishirika ask him to give you a Mana eye- Orsted suggested me
-I will do it sir, thank you- I said with a smile
-Yes, and by the way, you can now call yourself a sword saint- Orsted said
I nodded with restrained emotion at this revelation.
And so shortly after Orsted returned to Sharia with the help of Almanfi and I went to the room where I saw that Roxy had left.
I entered gently and there I saw her lying down
-Rudy?...- she muttered as she sat up and rubbed her eyes.
-I'm sorry darling, I just wanted to come sleep with you- I said
-Ah...well...but we're not at home...if you do it discreetly I suppose...-
-I don't mean that, I want to spend the night with you, that's all- I said as I lay down next to him
-Oh...well okay- Roxy said as she snuggled up to me, but I could swear I heard a slight trace of disappointment in her voice.
I hugged her tightly and at the same time gently while stroking her hair.
-Today I was scared to death Roxy...for a moment I thought I would lose you..I don't know what would have happened if my healing magic hadn't worked- I muttered as tears welled up in my eyes.
The simple memory of Roxy, mortally wounded, her eyes dull as the blood drained from her body...
At this I hugged her tighter as she sobbed slowly.
-Rudy... calm down... I'm fine... you see? I've been through worse things even if you don't believe it- Roxy said as she gave me a kiss on the lips
I couldn't see her expression because of the darkness so I just kept stroking her hair.
-R-Roxy...while this matter is resolved...I don't think it would be wise for you to leave Peragius Castle-I murmured.
-I think you should put your work on hold for now- I continued mumbling, waiting for his response.
-Yes...I know...besides...I've been wanting to retire for a long time now hehe- Roxy said with a slight giggle
I could only sigh with relief at this.
-I know you value our autonomy Rudy, but at this stage of life I just want to spend as much time as possible with you and not just come home to dinner and sleep- Roxy said in a whisper
I could hear the tiredness in her voice so I decided to lull her to sleep.
According to my calculations it must be 2 in the morning now....
Now tiredness invaded me and I fell deeply asleep.
Now I have to get serious, today's attack was a wake-up call and a declaration of war.
I must get things going if I want to have a peaceful life.
For my wives, for my sisters, for my children born and unborn...
I have to take this life seriously...
