BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1050: The cave (1)
‘I don’t understand why you would do this’ Loki halted for a moment in front of the cave entrance.
And then chuckling a bit, he turned back and look at Trisha
‘My dear child. The world is about to enter a new era. The era of the myriads paths’
He paused for a second and then continue on
‘It would not be long till you will see the advent of that new world. And now, with so many changes, so many energies in the world, so many sources of energies…I wonder what the whole world would look like in the future’ there is a wide smile on his face and then he laughed, like he found something very amusing and funny at the same time
Like a child that is tickled when they found something very funny.
‘Would it be so bad, if the Shadow Guards found this formation. Even though Sasha did hurt me, I give her such a gift. Hehehe. She would feel really guilty.’
He looks at Trisha face and she did not look amused
‘Don’t worry too much Trisha. This is but one of many of my formation. It is not like I would give them the core of my knowledge and help them capture me. I am generous. But, I am NOT that generous’
Trisha then countered
‘It is just that if you gave them this, next time our forces clash again with the Shadow Guards, we always have to consider the possibility, of them using this method. Another possibility had to be added into the plan. I will always have to craft a plan considering that they could use the formation to teleport themselves. More checks need to be conducted. Sealing space and energy is not enough. I have to make sure there is a double layer to the formation.’ Loki only chuckles and said
Wouldn’t that be even more fun?’
Trisha look dumbfounded at Loki words and then she shakes her head, smiling.
She could never understand the thoughts of her lord no matter how she tries.
And Loki smiles. He knows if he said it like this, Trisha would not elaborate more as she would just accept it.
Then he walks outside of the cave and Trisha followed.
The moment he went out of that cave, he saw hills and rivers.
He saw tall trees with thick leaves. The fruits on its branches is purple and it is nothing like a tree that one had seen before in this world
Even the branches are weird.
Some of them are flat, while some of them is as sharp as a sword. The leaves itself seems to contain some faint traces of energy.
Trisha frowned before she clicked her tongue in annoyance.
Loki look at her as she come beside him.
‘What?’
‘The island seems to change again’ Loki only smiles
‘Like I said, the expansion is not over. What happened today, would change the destiny of so many people and bring about a new world. This is the time for you to make your mark in the world Trisha. To accumulate things’
‘There will be a boom of people easily breaking through. There would not be lack of energy to absorbs. Some of them could be directly absorbed while some of them would manifest into crystals, gems, or energy stones. Some might even manifested itself as some beast or monsters’
Loki is exhilarated talking about it. But Trisha did not seem to share the same enthusiasm. Instead she asks him
‘My lord. Do you feel no regret?’ Loki halted and then he asks her back
‘For what?’
‘For taking the blame’
Loki shakes his head and said
‘It is my plan from the very beginning. What is there to regret?’ The wind from the hills come washing over them. Loki windbreaker flaps gently to left and right.
There is silence between them for a while. Loki did not immediately leave the island. And Trisha would not leave until Loki leave.
Loki stay here not because he is keen to want to be caught by the forces of Pandemonium. Or other forces that might have mobilized to seek his whereabouts.
Instead he wanted to explain some things to Trisha. Then Trisha suddenly said
‘My lord’
‘Yes’
‘Stop calling me your dear child. I don’t like it’ Loki eyebrows raised. He is stunned for a moment before he breaks out of laughter.
‘Hahaha. I thought you were going to ask some questions. I did not think that this is the first thing you would said after all that happened today’
Trisha however is not in the mood to play along with Loki ways of defusing the matter with laughter and joke
‘I don’t like it when you said it like that. I am no longer that child’ Loki shakes his head and simply said
‘In my eyes, you still are’ Trisha face underneath that mask begins to become red with frustration
‘My lord, I think you need an eye exam’ Loki just shakes his head, his mouth curves into a smile and he just laugh like he had heard an excellent joke
‘Fine, fine. I’ll limit it’
‘No. I want my lord to stop it’ Loki just sighed with a smile on his face as he patted her head and like a deflated balloon she crosses her arms together and humph at him
Loki could only shake his head at this behavior of Trisha.
Even though he could not see Trisha face beneath the mask, he is quite sure she is sulking with her cheek puffed up.
Maybe it has something to do with how he had raised them. They seem na?ve in certain things but hell, do they get wild in battlefield.
To his eyes, all of them look cute. As he treated them all like his daughter. But Trisha had feelings for him. Riana could not trust him and betray his trust.
Greisha is the only one that truly treated him as her father.
‘You do not want to ask about your sister? And about her daughter? Or her husband’
The moment Loki mentioned this, the mood become tense.
Trisha sighed and said with a bitter smile
‘I had wished we would not talk about this until we are back at Nowhere Land.’ Loki nodded
‘But, I have time to spare here. The energy around this island is mild but there is still a trace of the storms. If not, we could already have teleported back home. Since this conversation would get uncomfortable either way, it did not matter if you ask this question here or in Nowhere Land.’
‘How is my second sister?’ Loki opens his palm and then he summons the grain from his personal Bag of Holding
Grain Palace?’ Loki nodded.
‘the child?’
‘Also in the Palace’
‘What about the husband. My brother in law?’
‘Dead’ Trisha narrowed her eyes and then said
‘Really dead?’
‘Really dead’ Loki reply
At hearing this answer, Trisha nodded and said
‘That is good’
‘yes, it is very good’ he said.
Then he senses it.
The energy distortion around the island had passed completely.
He grabs Trisha hand with his right hand and then using his left hand he rips out the wrist watch on his hand and threw it to the sky.
He chanted some words and the watch exploded. But instead of exploding into fragments of glass and gears, the watch exploded into a surge of energy that covers Loki and Trisha
This surge of energy went unnoticed.
Because there is no close continent around the island that could detect the energy and differentiate with the other energy in the vicinity
With almost all of surveillance technology going down during the massive surge of energy entering Earth prime, other than being close to the island, it would be hard to realize such a massive surge of energy had exploded
But it does create some massive shockwave that created storms of wind around the island and its vicinity
The effect of such a massive surge of energy is actually so miniscule compared to before the expansion.
If this was before the expansion of the world such surge of energy would have alerted every single one of the surveillance system of all the great powers
Eyes and ears would be focused on this place.
And then a portal opened up in front of Loki.
‘Let’s go home’
He had already released Trisha. He grabs her before to make sure she is not affected by the shockwave
Loki then walk slowly toward that portal with Trisha beside him, mumbling something under her breath
The moment both of them enter the portal, the portal shut down and spirals into nothingness.
The watch turns into dust and the island regain back its calmness.
A few hours later, someone landed on the ground. A man with six feet five height wielding a long katana that reflected the sunlight.
There is blood dripping on this man sword. He shakes the sword slightly and the blood were thrown off from the edges of the sword, falling to the ground
A sizzling sound could be heard as that blood seems to pierce the ground. The blood itself is acidic.
‘Troublesome monsters’ the person muttered.
As he is flying toward this island, he had encountered a few winged creatures that wanted to eat him.
He had no other choice then to fight a horde of winged creatures. Each of their blood is acidic in nature.
This person has clear pale white skin and have thin physique. He wears leather armor that covers his chest and body.
But his clothing is black. This person is the Vice Leader of the Shadow Guards, Shinji the Swift Sword.
