With the removal of colonies each sorcerer was not bound by one set colony therefore from the standings the colony section was removed entirely. It was still dark as the time crossed 12:00 A.M to reach the next day. The Hologram displayed the standings magnificently to the point where everyone could see.
"I am tied with Siddarth Ramakrishna?" thought Vegiatous II.
Vegiatous was surrounded by green as the ground was an ocean of soul slime squirming around. He had his ruby and soul steel staff with him as he summoned all the soul slime back into his staff cleaning up the green turning it back to what it was.
A golden beam of light pierced through the sky with lightning speed as a chakra formed underneath Vegiatous II.
"Second Stage Enlightenment:- Let there be Light!" screamed Siddarth Ramakrishna.
Behind the sudden attack there was multiple planning that Siddarth Ramakrishna did in secret. As soon as the barriers dropped, Siddarth analysed that Vegiatous was the closest to him and therefore using multiple of his sages 'First Stage Enlightenment:- Enhance," onto Siddarth he gained a boost that doubled his output of soul energy and attacks. Therefore his strongest attack 'Let there be Light!' which moves at light speed with no constant mass therefore increasing as it reaches its opponent and burning the opponent with infinite thermal energy as it dissipates was currently on 200% power.
"Soul Slime Summon:- Platinum Rhinoceros," said Vegiatous quickly.
The light beam fired before was a decoy as the attack instantly hit Vegiatous with super-speeds burning his body into ashes in an instant.
Siddarth waited on top of the demolished building he was standing on as the rest of his sages also patiently waited. He was looking for the Hologram to appear and tell him that he got more souls.
"A true King never gets ambushed," said Vegiatous II.
Vegiatous spawned in behind the sages and quickly slashed the space which the sages were occupying itself therefore shattering their atoms and quickly murdering them without a mess.
"How did you do it?" asked Siddarth.
"It was pretty simple since even after I took back all my soul slimes I still left a few nearby as cover or alert systems. After a slime found you then I expected an attack," said Vegiatous II.
Siddarth looked at the dead body of Vegiatous from afar.
"Then that must be a decoy," laughed Siddarth.
"Yes, remember you're the challenger and you're the child here," said Vegiatous II.
With that the both of them jumped off the building and began their duel mid-air.
Meanwhile in the land which used to be Colony 4,
Sunny's head felt like it would explode as Everlin's memories came rushing back to him in an instant. Sunny was not really Sunny anymore; he was a mix of Sunny and Everlin's memories with their morals and emotions mixing together into a solution.
Yvette took a step back after looking at the face of her adopted son. Then she took her staff out and chanted multiple ancient words which caused ice spears to form and lunge towards Sunny.
Sunny dodged them all and slashed them one by one before walking slowly towards Yvette.
"I can sense your soul Faceless even though it might be the body and memory of Everlin your soul is not Everlin it is a demon," yelled Yvette.
Sunny stayed silent, not sure whether he should tell the truth or lie. The God of Sages gave him a chance at redemption. Sunny's previous life was merciless to him with him being a hybrid and the eternal torture he had received. A child who got punished due to the sin he committed that's justice right? What if the sin was unintentional is it still a sin? People died; it was in his hands. A village of Fire Demons died because of his incapability to control his core.
Now he has a chance to live like he never did.
Sunny pulled out an orb and chanted.
"Ritualistic Magic of Aurora:- Glacier," said Sunny.
A glacier slowly started to form underneath them turning the land they were standing on into pure snow and chilling the temperatures into sub-zero. By using Everlin's ritualistic magic which only he has access to he could essentially play the role of Everlin.
"Your role is a spy. A wounded tiger is only more lethal than a normal tiger," said the God of Sages to him when Sunny first revived.
Yvette threw her staff away and slowly with her weak legs ran towards Sunny as she limped with each step. Sunny came closer and Yvette embraced him in her arms while Sunny hugged her back.
"How…How is this possible? I thought Xeno turned you into an avatar from birth," said Yvette.
"I was…" Sunny didn't know what story to tell to cover himself up. It was the truth, Everlin was an avatar that Xeno kept near Yvette to ensure her safety.
"When Danso arrived in the Frozen Everglades, I got captured by Xeno and placed in Northguard City to play his little game," said Everlin.
"So during the Fjord Raid you were locked up here?" asked Yvette.
"Yes," replied Sunny.
A lie. Even the smartest people who can read fate itself can get lost in emotions. Especially ones that were looking for answers or desperate for something.
"Then let's go get that bastard shall we?" asked Yvette.
Yvette's pale skin and bony arms clenched and tightened as she picked her staff up and Sunny looked at her. The hate for Xeno only grew further for Sunny as first he died as Sunny in the hands of Xeno a flawless betrayal by the one person who he would follow through hell. Then he died again as Everlin as nothing more than an avatar, a worthless one.
"How do we find him, mother?" asked Sunny.
"I know where he is already, son," replied Yvette.
"And where is that?" asked Sunny.
Yvette pointed down and tapped her staff a few times underground.
"There is a gravity core that pushes this city higher and higher up. With more influx of soul energy the gravity core is working at a faster rate in a sense it's an energy source as the impure soul energy is converted into gravitational energy and re-converted into soul energy but this time it is pure," explained Yvette.
"Why would Xeno want pure soul energy?" asked Sunny.
"That's why we have to find him," replied Yvette.
In the Land of the Samurai,
"Excuse me, do you know how far it is from here to the mainland?" asked Danso.
Hiroshi and Danso came down from their rooms to the reception area and were wasting no time getting information.
"No sorry," replied the lady at the reception politely.
"I know," said an old voice sitting on the cushion near the reception.
"Don't take him too seriously, he's old and drunk on sake," whispered the lady.
Hiroshi chuckled and walked off towards the exit while Danso made his way towards the old man.
"What are you doing, idiot," asked Hiroshi waiting for Danso.
"Never judge a book by its cover," replied Danso.
Danso took a seat next to the old man and faced towards him and took out his sword.
"Tell me what you know if I realise that you're blabbering on sake I'll cut your head off," said Danso.
"No violence is allowed in the hotel's grounds sir," rushed the lady from the reception to Danso.
"If he tells the truth there will be no need for it," replied Danso pushing the lady away.
"You're a young and eager one aren't ya," replied the old man.
"Now speak up," asked Hiroshi entering the conversation.
"Nothin' is free in this world, everything has a price, children," replied the old man.
