Morning.levi woke up feeling full of energy. he went to bathe, then ate breakfast before going to the sect masters hall. "there are also criminals in desolate mountain you know! and-and even the plants try to kill you!" as soon as he walked though the door, the sect master tried his best to make him change his mind.
"how do i get there?" levi asked. "sigh, i have a roc that can take you. after taking you, it will come back to me and return 4 months later for you." the sect master sighed. he sighed a few more times when thinking about this situation. "old man, aren"t you going to bring me to the roc?" levi asked impatiently.
"Yes, yes, follow me." the sect master sighed as he walked. after a while of walking, they appeared on a flat piece of land. on the ground was a large bird, basking in the sunlight. when it heard people approaching, the bird got up and looked around. seeing the person who came, the bird happily got up and ran towards the sect master.
after telling the roc a few things, it looked toward levi. it looked at him with hatred, as if seeing a old enemy. levi looked at the roc in confusion, but then had a thought. "could the bird and that snake have a connection?" he thought. "alright, she will take you to desolate mountain. get on." the sect masters voice interrupted his thoughts.
"ok." levi got on the back of the roc. "hold on properly! and be careful at desolate mountain!" the sect master shouted. levi nodded, then the roc took off. the moment it took off, levi was almost thrown off it"s back. after flying smoothly for a while, it suddenly turned on it"s side, making him dangle in the air while holding on for dear life.
"You over sized chicken! if you don"t fly properly, do you believe i"ll absorb your bloodline and fly there myself!?" levi shouted in anger. " i"m not the d.a.m.n snake, so why is this bird being so unreasonable?!" he almost burst a vein thinking about it.
as if responding to his threat, the roc became even more unruly. all of a sudden, it started to fly properly again. at the front, a black foggy mountain was coming into view. a large bird tried to fly over this mountain, but was caught by something and dragged down.
the roc landed a good distance from the mountain, which annoyed levi. no matter how he tried to make the roc fly closer, it was in vain. in the end, the roc threw him off of it"s back and flew away. "f.u.c.k! if i get my hand on that d.a.m.n bird!!" levi roared. his hair and cloths were already messy from flying and now there was even dirt all over him.
he started walking towards the eerie mountain. when he got close, he heard a scream. he saw a girl running away from something, while clutching her severed right hand. but today just wasn"t her day, something grabbed onto her foot and dragged her back. while she was being dragged, she caught sight of levi.
with tears and snot running down her face, she screamed. "HELB! HALP BE! SAVBE ME!" she couldn"t talk properly because of the dirt and snot going into he mouth. but as i said, today just wasn"t her day. levi watched this scene with cold eyes, furthermore fear was beginning to well up in his heart.
without any further thought, he pulled out his sword before walking again. at times he would hear a slither, and at other times, rustling leaves. he walked through the mountain cautiously. as night was arriving, he found a tree to sleep in, so as to not become food for some unknown creature.
as he was going to sleep, he felt something wrap around him. he didn"t pay it any mind and just ketp trying to sleep. after a while, he felt about 5 things wrapping around him tightly. this made him open his eyes. what he saw was, the tree he was sleeping in, had it"s branches wrapping around him while opening it"s horrifying mouth.
he tried to break free, but to no avail. he was tossed into the tree"s shredder like mouth. thump! thump! while in it"s mouth, his body was being cut all over. he tried breaking out, but for some reason the tree felt like iron when he hit it. after gathering about 70 percent of his qi, he punched out.
Peng! boom!
a loud peng resounded, followed by a boom. he punched out causing a hole he could barely crawl through to appear. the piece of trunk that flew out, hit the ground, which made a tiny crater. he quickly crawled out of the tree"s mouth and ran. sometimes a vine would wrap around his foot, causing him to trip. he could only stop to chop them off before running again.
after running for a while, he found himself in a cave. inside the cave was cold, but he had to choice but to go in since even the trees eat people. he could only hope that the cave doesn"t try to eat him up also. he went in and sat down, which caused him to s.h.i.+ver. his wounds weren"t healing because he didn"t absorb any blood.
after sitting in the cave for a while, his eyes started to close. just as they were about to close completely, he heard steps. still sitting, the grip on his sword tightened. step...step.. after a while, a youth with golden hair walked into the cave. when he saw levi, his face showed some surprise before he smiled.
"this brother here, let me give you something for your wounds." the youth started to walk towards levi. when he saw this, his grip tightened again. in places like this, the trees can kill you and the beasts can definitely kill you, but the things you should be the most worried about, are the humans.
all of a sudden the youth pulled out a fancy looking golden dagger from his back, his expression vicious and dripping with bloodl.u.s.t, he stabbed down towards levi"s head. the fact that he had wounds all over his body and because he was sitting in the biting cold for so long, levi could barely move.
he just managed to lean his head to the side, which caused the dagger to stab into the base of his neck. it didn"t hurt that much because of the cold numbing his body, but a lot of his blood started to pour out. it seems his blood can"t handle the cold that well, because it moved sluggishly when he called it back.
he pointed his sword up and kicked the blonde"s foot, which caused him to fall onto the sword. because of the position he was in, when he fell, the sword went through the bottom of his chin, going straight through the top his head. his eyes rolled up as he died.
levi feebly pulled out the sword and grasped the blonde"s neck. his body shriveled up as all of his blood was sucked out. when levi absorbed the blood, the wounds on his body released steam as they healed at a visible pace. he pulled the dagger from his neck and looked at it for a while before squeezing it into the over full spatial ring.
he kicked the mummie off of him, then got up and stretched. after searching the corpse, he found nothing and just decided to leave. just as he was about to leave, he felt a cold gush of air coming from inside the cave. he stopped and turned around.
after thinking for a while, he decided to take a look. while walking deeper into the cave, it also got colder. after walking for a while, he found himself in front of a clear blue lake. when looking around, his eyes widened.
on the lake, sitting on a thin layer of ice, was girl. this girl had snow white hair, ice blue eyes and pink lips. she was in a white dress, her body emitting a frighteningly cold aura. seeing that someone came in, the girl dissapeared.
"who..." levi was stunned. he never saw something so beautiful in his life, his heart was racing. he felt something that he didn"t feel for years, warmth. for some reason, looking into that girls eyes, even though her body was emitting a frightening cold, he felt warmth. it felt like they were....alike somehow. for some reason, he felt like they were the same.
after calming himself down, he looked around the lake before going back the way he came. he cautiously went outside the cave to find some dry wood to start a fire. when he got back, he started the fire. he sat beside it with his eyes closed and sword in his arms.
...
in a certain sky, a girl in a white dress was soaring. while flying she was thinking about something. "who... was that boy? golden eyes and red hair.....strangely, i get the feeling that i"ll meet him again. he looked to be the same as me, after all." she thought calmly.
