As Kaidrix and Monarik were busy with their preparations to leave Earth. Valtor was running and fighting his pursuer. He tried very hard, but he was not able to shake the enemy. Valtor was not a weak warrior, and his pursuer also was not weak wherever they passed, crossing blows, space shook, and nearby asteroids shattered to smithereens.
Enemy: Valtor, you can't run from me, I can find you instantly no matter where you go, stop struggling and surrender, Hand over the Ancient Records, and I might let you die with corps attached.
Valtor thinks to himself while running, How is he able to find me every time I flee from him? Damn it, what is going on? Valtor checked himself, and there was nothing wrong with him. he ran whenever he was just far enough and about to disappear from his sight, the enemy somehow finds Valtor and chases quickly.
Valtor was beginning to feel some fatigue. This is not good, he thought to himself. I need to flee somehow. They were going further and further from the Earth, in space, there is no concept of day and night, so Valtor has no idea how long he has been fleeing from this enemy and how long he will have to flee until he runs out of energy.
He was thinking very hard, concentrating on his surroundings and avoiding attacks. In this star system, eight big planets were orbiting; some had moons, some were giants, some had big rings around them, and there were big chunks of ice and other matter. There were some desolate planets, and suddenly Valtor's curiosity piqued, particularly for a giant planet with rings around it.
There was nothing special about the planet, but what was i the planet's surface he sensed a massive formation on one of its poles. And this planet had a lot of moons around it, which he confirmed were part of the formation, perhaps not all of them were part of the formation. He counted six moons, which were part of the formation.
Valtor forgot that he was being chased, and curiosity got the better of him. He rushed towards that planet like a moth flying to touch the flames. The first thing that welcomed him was very harsh weather; he felt the whole planet was a giant, massive storm. The wind was so high that Valtor felt his skin was burning with friction. He was surprised there could be such a place in this solar system, which can be so harsh and dangerous, even masters from the Somakai family can barely hold on. He felt imminent danger from the planet, which was so massive that he lost all sense of direction. And on top of that, there was no solid ground to hold; the pulling force of the planet was also very strong, and he could only bear himself sinking to the planet's core.
Oblivious to the enemy, Valtor can only focus on one thing, which he can sense was the formation. It was massive masive he had never seen a formation this big in his entire life. He tried his best to shift himself to the center of the formation, which was hard as he progressed, falling towards the planet's core, he shifted himself towards the center of the formation. This formation consisted of six sides, each side connected to one moon.
The conditioning in the formation was the worst, it was cold to the freezing point. Valtor felt himself freezing and wind tearing his skin apart, he felt pain for the first time in decades. Then he heard a hoarse voice. What kind of place is this? Where did you lead me? You Idiot. Valtor jolted awake, he remembered he was being pursued. The enemy lunged towards Valtor to capture him. A big, massive hand, made out of energy, approached Valtor. Do you think you can hide in this place and I can do nothing? He just spoke these words, and his technique tore to smithereens in a blink.
So what if I can't use any techniques? I still have my fists. Valtor was wounded, and the enemy wasn't in good shape either. He was mad with rage; he charged at Valtor and started throwing punches.
Both Valtor and the guy were in a close combat, throwing punches at each other, oblivious to the injuries they inflicted on each other. Valtor was at a disadvantage here enemy was a full level above him. As time passed planet's gravity kept pulling them towards its core. The whole planet was just gases. On top of that, there was no oxygen, although for cultivators, oxygen is not very important. A some point, they breathed energy, and that is everywhere, but still it was very uncomfortable to breathe in this environment. It was abundant in energy, but breathing this energy was hard.
The guy punched Valtor, and he barely dodged. Valtor landed some hits, adding the injuries to the enemy, wiping the blood from his mouth guy got more furious his eyes turned red he used his blood to draw energy around him and again created a giant hand this one stood for longer then the first one but it manage to heavily injure Valtor he chose to run towords the core of planet while coughing blood. As they went further down, one running, one chasing, the temperature started to rise. It went from freezing point to boiling point, then to the melting point. Now, the heat was unbearable. The vision here was limited because of the vapor and hot cloud of gases. Valtor found it hard to maintain his conciseness. Then he saw the core of planets, it was a melted hot liquid mixture of iron and rock, it was massive, so massive that he couldn't seem to measure the distance with limited vision and senses, the gravity here got even stronger.
He was burning, and it was tough to maintain his consciousness. There were tears in his eyes; he felt this was the end; he would never be able to see his son and wife again in his life. He remembered his children getting slain in front of his eyes by the demons. He remembered talking to his wife and kaidrix and fleeing from the aliens and demons who destroyed their family. He was unwilling, tears were falling from his eyes, but they instantly vaporized, in the atmosphere, he felt even his eyes being dried up. He lost hope. In his eyes, there was only one face: kaidrix.
<----------------->
On Earth, Kaidrix was roaming the marketplace to purchase some necessary equipment he might need for his travels, a shoulder bag, and some basic equipment for chemical experiments. With his cultivation life, kaidrix wanted to stick with his research, and he loved to create new designs for mechanical stuff. For example, he was good at creating small gadgets like communication devices, little reports which were helpful for him in his chemical experiments.
We all love mother earth, no matter what difrance we have, black and white what, beliefs we have, we still love our home, earth gave us life we grew on this planet and when you know you are going to leave earth, and you have no idea when might you be back, it is kind of sad, this was exactly what kaidrix was feeling, although he wasnt born on earth but still, he grew up on it, and also its just couple of days since he knew he is not a earthling, still he love this planet he have some precious memories of his home, his mother all these memories are attached to this place. So he was sad about leaving this planet.
After shopping, it was still early daytime, so he decided to just stroll in the rich city streets. Occasionally some shopkeper offers him his goods to purchase but he leisurely shook his head walking in the street, walking and stroling he did not even knew when did he came to a hill side walking alongside the edge of the road, it was green area, folidge and trees preety much coverd everthing but some parts of the hill were still visible, this hill side was the part of nearby mountain range, and was close to kaidrix's house, despite all that it was rather new area for kaidrix to explore he never visited this area. The sun was almost in the middle of the sky, but still it had a long way to that point, it was humid, Hot, but kaidrix was in his world, leisurely walking without any fear, worry, or grievances, enjoying the beauty.
Suddenly, he heard a female shout Help me. Kaidrix came out of his trance, and she pleaded for help again. The voice was coming from a little further away from behind some big evergreen and Douglas trees. It was a flat area on the hill a little dowen from the actual hight of the hill, there he saw a traning ground, a dojo with some old but in good health buildings, middle in there was a girl, with sword in hand she had some cuts on the arms, and deep cut wound on her right chest, a stab wound of a sword, she was bleeding, there were some bad looking men srounding her, laughing and taunting her, she was pale and about to fall any moment. kaidrix had no experience in sword fighting. He was hesitant, but he had an urge to save the girl.
With strategy he brought his mobile phone out and started recording hy you idiots i got you on the camera leave her alone or i am calling the cops jolted awake frome their game men looked toward kairix and then they laughed idiot, we are from the martial world how some puny police are gonna have us from martial world people. kaidrix was not sure how to answer them back; they were four men in some judogis (jacket and trousers), a sort of special uniform with the big fighter written on it. There were sword marks on their faces and bodies, giving them a fierce and dangerous look. One of them had a clean face with no cuts and seemed to be their leader, or not, but the other three were giving that man glances from time to time, like they were waiting for his order.
Then finally he spoke, Boy, recording us is a smart move, but. Still, it is really bad to mess with us. Why don't you just live and not meddle in other people's business, and I might consider sparing your life. Meanwhile, the girl was breathing heavily, still conscious and on her feet, putting up a tough front, ready to fight any minute. kaidrix spoke, I can't stand watching a girl being bullied by you people.
Clean face guy spoke, meaning you have to put your nose in our business. Then he ordered one of his men with his gaze. The guy came swinging his sword on kaidrix. kaidrix managed to dodge the strike and landed a kick on his stomach, which sent the man flying, crashing into the nearby building, creating a hole in the wall. Everyone was jaw-dropping. kaidrix was the most surprised he had never sent a person flying before, and creating a hole in the wall. He murmured I have become much stronger, I guess uncle's training is paying off. I have to control my strength, I don't want to kill anybody. While Kidrix was thinking, the remaining three, including Clear Face, came swinging their sword at kaidrix.
He was in a daze girl came running and stopped two blades with her sword, but one blade got through her, creating a deep wound on her shoulder and striking towards kaidrix in a retaliatory reaction. kaidrix did not think straight and put his arm out to defend against the blade. The blade gave a minor cut on kaidrix arm and stuck there it was like it glued there the man was not able to pul the blade out everyone was stunn again the girl spoke it was you who spose to save me not the other way around kaidrix felt his cheeks swell and red with shame he was distracted. He trained good, but not in an actual life and death fight, but still his defenses were tough. He pulled the blade out from his arm, which was just edge deep, leaving a minor cut. After serving his attack, kaidrix got a little confidence. He lunged towards clean face and punched him in the face, smashing his head to the ground, knocking clean face out. Then he smashed the others' heads with each other, making them go green. Then he came towards the girl who was not in good condition.
Surprisingly, she was still conscious despite losing all that blood. But she was exhausted a lot and tired, so she fell asleep, barely keeping her eyes open. She told him her name is Shala and she just wants him to call her father despite kaidrix pursuit to bring her to the hospital. She was badly wounded and needed medical attention, especially for her right chest wound. kaidrix gave her the phone, and she dialed a number. Give it a call after a beep. She spoke father, I was attacked and am injured. Please come to the dojo. I can't go to the hospital without you. A guy saved me. And there are people from the martial world gang. From the other side, his father spoke Stay there, dear, I will be there in a bit. Meanwhile, kaidrix brought the men together on the ground and tied them with their belts.
After some awkward ten to fifteen minutes, A man came running with a nurse, a few cars and men, and a first aid kit. he was in his mid-fifties. With partial white and black hairs. Light-tuned body with solid muscle. He had some sword marks on his face, especially on his right cheek, and a cut was visible.
The nurse started tending to Shala, meanwhile the Old man kept eyeing Kaidrix, then finally spoke Young man, thanks for saving my daughter, I am grateful to you. I was the owner of this rundown dojo until my daughter took it over. My name is Abraham.
What is your name, young man? kaidrix introduces himself. I am kaidrix. I was just passing by until I heard your daughter shouting for help, so I came to help. After some pleasantries, kaidrix felt he should leave now. He bid farewell, but Abraham was fixated that kaidrix should stay for the day, so kaidrix said he had some matters pending, so he needed to go. At the end, Abraham gave his card to kaidrix, which he did not let kaidrix refuse. So he gave in. Abraham wanted to pay back this favor, and kaidrix did not want to have anything to do with this matter. he just wanted to leave; he thought he was just gonna leave Earth soon, so these things were not necessary anymore. So finally, he left the place with a heavy heart. The day was still young, so he decided to resume his little adventure up the hill.
Kaidrix had a feeling that he should go further up the hill. He had all day to himself at some point, he missed, he might have brought Lumina with him so she would be able to see this beautiful place too, dastiny or fate does not work on If this and that, it just happen it is not in our control but yes we always given choices at some point were we can forge our path. Walking alongside the road. It was refreshing the further he went up, although it should get hotter, but he felt refreshed. Occasionally, a bird chirps on tree branches to branch jumping taking small flights.
As he went further up, he started to see some redwood trees, which were large and ancient. Walking between them, he was really small. The trunks of the trees were several feet thick. Surrounded by these trees, there was a temple, a very old building still standing and in good health, without noticing kaidrix was standing in front of the temple's door, which was made out of stone and gave a feeling of heaviness and was impossible to move. Then Kaidrix heard somebody in his ears. Finally, came What took you so long.
