Yuki had left and went off to train alone from now on. His emotions and thoughts stirred up negativity.
When he left Amelia and Lucian alone with his thought, there was a strong presence near those two, but Yuki couldn't sense it. He had walked far from them.
Amelia's eyes completely widened up while Lucian remained calm as the presence was malicious enough to threaten them both.
Amelia: The hell is that?
Lucian sighs as a loud thud could be heard behind them, which causes a debris dust to form around them. They both glanced over and what stood in front of them wasn't a regular demon. It was one of the Seven Primordial Gods. The Primordial God of Time, Nyxathor.
Amelia's eyes opened widely in pure shock and fear. Lucian glanced at Nyxathor, and he knew something was off since the beginning when they entered Nytherra.
Nyxathor, a Primordial God, who which exists above–what seems to be the limit of human knowledge–the universe, and outer space. It held no emotions and lacked physical bodies, and it had floated in front of Amelia and Lucian.
Amelia: What the–?!
Lucian immediately summoned out his katana and stared down Nyxathor.
Lucian: Leave Amelia...
He commanded her to run, and she did, but one step had already sealed her fate. Her body had exploded through expansion of amount of decomposition gas in her entire body. There was no trace of her.
Lucian's eyes widened a bit in shock as he held his katana. He took deep breaths, calming down.
Nyxathor: Lucian Maywood... where's Yuki Fujita...?
His voice was intimidating to the degree that it even caused Lucian's spine to shiver down to his core. It was so deep, deeper than holes and more terrifying than the sound of lightning or the sight of death.
Lucian: What do you want from him...? He's just a fifteen year old kid..
His cold tone was heard by Nyxathor as he floated in front of him.
Nyxathor: I'm asking the questions here... you get no right to ask such questions. Your only right is to answer.
Lucian was put in a state of fear as he tried to remain a calm expression. He gripped onto his katana tightly as his knuckles turns white a bit.
Lucian: He's gone.. but if you really want him, then you'll have to get by me first.
He got into a stance as he kept his katana out in front of him, but that moment he had already received a deep cut on his torso and face. Nyxathor had been behind Lucian like he hadn't moved whatsoever.
Lucian: What.... just happened? I received cuts, but from where? Was it all around me or did he do this himself? His main ability is spacetime-based magic. That's a difficult Divine Arts skill to learn in itself!
He touched his neck and feels his blood on his fingers. His body and face continued releasing out blood as Nyxathor had stood there, behind him with a menacing silence.
Nyxathor: Space and time... both mere concepts of which that fundamentally built the world. You can manipulate laws.. can you, Lucian Maywood?
Lucian: How'd you know?
He remained calm, but sweat drips from his face a little as his wounds closes up with healing magic.
Nyxathor: Laws are what define reality, and yet, space and time are a much higher order than laws in itself. Tell me.. what do you think happened to your immortal friend? She couldn't die through age and severe wounds nor can she die from diseases... I know that for sure..
His cold tone had sent shivers down Lucian's spine again. He remained calm, but his heart ache says otherwise. He was being put on edge as he stayed silent trying to process everything.
Nyxathor: Now... I won't ask again. In your perspective, what did your brain think and what had your heart think? I'll even give you time to think about it.
Lucian: What did I think had happened? Damn... I can't gain information from him since he's not from this world. The hell should I say...?
Nyxathor: Have you came up with an answer yet?
Lucian: There's no other way to cause a body to explode like that besides from decomposition gas right?
Nyxathor: I manipulated the gas and expanded that to the point of explosion... so yes. You're correct.
Lucian glanced at him with a calm expression while inside, he's a bit terrified of a being like Nyxathor. His grip loosened up a bit, letting his guard down for a second, but then Nxyathor vanished like he was never there.
He then noticed his disappearance, then had blocked his attack, but barely, leaving a cut on his face again. It wasn't too shallow, but yet not too deep.
Lucian: I think I'm starting to get it... he isn't using speed to move, he just isn't there.
Nyxathor was behind him, then grabbed him by the neck, but before he does so, Lucian had barely avoided it and had put his hand on him.
Lucian: Add rule... his power no longer works regardless.
He had thought about the rule in his head as it was being added to Nyxathor, but nothing happened. He then used his hand and decapitated Lucian completely. Blood gushed out of his body then onto the floor.
Nyxathor: I'm not a normal god... you should've realized that by now, although I'm assuming you did. Your "Heavenly System" ability only works on Gods who are capable of decimating entire worlds through conceptual means. Primordial Gods are much powerful than that..
He sighed as he vanished again like he was never there.
Yuki had arrived at an empty spot and started using his katana that was given to Lucian and continued training alone.
He was training his form, swings and skills without a target or sparring partner.
Yuki: Amelia... Lucian.. I hope you're both are fine right now. Sorry for leaving you both... I'm just scared you both will be harmed because of me...
He trained for hours without breaks, his body was on the verge of collapse as he stopped and stood there breathing heavily.
Yuki had then collapsed against the tree as he sweats and breathe heavily.
The pink crystal that was following them had recorded everything. A mysterious being had been watching everything, she smiled in excitement.
Her horns were long, she had as body of a succubus as well, and had wings behind her as she sits in her chair, watching everything. Her teeth were sharp like a bat, and her body had started to react in excitement towards Yuki.
???: Heh~ how cute~ he'll be a good pet~ or maybe a good servant~? I could do whatever I want with that boy~
She chuckled seductively as she had human pets next to her. Their location was in her throne room as she continued watching Yuki and his actions.
She licked her lips with a predatory expression, then dismissed the humans to leave her alone as she puts both of her legs up on her chair, curling up in a ball.
Her eyes were magenta color with black long silky hair. She had worn a magenta-black dress with crimson accents, black thigh high socks as well as black thigh length boots. Her outfit revealed her smooth skin and thighs.
Her black long magenta coat with crimson accents with fur cuffs and fur hood flowed through the wind due to her window being open. The wind goes through her palace and she stood up and stretched out her limbs.
???: I might be heading out my darlings~ be good for me~
The human pets next to her nodded as they barked like dogs. She walked out of her palace as her boots clicks on impact on the floor.
She sniffed the air and kept walking.
???: Lovely smell~
She murmurs to herself seductively while she roamed across the streets. The citizens had glanced over at her, face all red and bothered as they walked. They were distracted of course.
???: I'll be heading down to see Yuki soon anyways~
She chuckled as she vanished from thin air and arrived on Earth.
Yuki had continued training, and each hour, his body had started adapting to exhaustion, making it much easier to train, although he still is destroying himself through training all day and night without breaks.
He sat there, then started training his mind once again after the many failed attempts.
Many days goes by, his training on his mind had succeeded. He stood up and stretched out his limbs. He went through days without eating and drinking and mainly focusing on training his mind to know what is reality and what is false.
Yuki sighed knowing each passing day, he continued spiraling downwards into an abyss of an emotionless state. He was slowly getting detached from reality due to the heavy memories that he kept remembering and all those loops in his visions.
That was when–in silence between himself and the world–he pulled out his phone, then called Lucian. No answer. He called again. No answer.
Yuki: Pick up dammit...
His voice was becoming cold throughout the days of emotional toll, as he called one last time. It went straight to voicemail for the third time. No answer from Lucian. In that very moment, he immediately knew something was wrong.
