Rise of Myriad Magic Emperor

As Kai and Behemoon flew across the sky and clouds he got to get a better look at the dark sky and the movement of stars.

The stars which were once twinkle were now moving around, breaking ancient constellations and sequences and gathering together to form an outline of the image of a horizontal human eyes shape as the light from the stars concentrated at a single point of the sky, slowly started to brighten up with starlight.

Witnessing it, Kai and Behemoon began to fly even faster.

They need to get to his hometown and meet Alice before the constellation of the sage Emperor is complete.

[Shaman King Mountain]

While Kai and Behemoon are heading towards his hometown.

Sunaya, Daoma and Farbo with the help of flying magic disks were floating in the sky.

Sunaya was looking at the shaman King Mountain with sharp eyes and trying to sense what was going on beneath the seal.

After Vali has separated himself from the corrupted faith power of Chaos Champion, he is constantly coming here and checking up the corrupted faith power is leaking out from somewhere or now.

While Daoma was analysing the great five elemental seal created by his master and trying to understand the concept behind it.

Farbo was the only one in the group with soctic experience.

This place has been his birthplace as well as his land of ancestors with deep history.

One million years ago, his ancestor Kabo founded the Shaman King Mountain around this mountain and since then it has been sacred land for members of the Kourin family.

'Its truly is a mystery, One million years ago ancestor started his journey bringing forth the new era for the people of the continent at his place. On the other hand, after a million years on the same day, the Shaman King Mountain is going to disappear forever. Even the sect will only remain in name with its former glory fading in the pages of history and become story for later generations.'

Suddenly a voice spoke into his head,"Don't be sad, you are a spirit magic user and must be aware of the nature of the world which is constantly changing. The destruction of his mountain is just one of many changes. If you think that your sect will only remain in name alone then you have a long way to go to become a true spiritual master. I have seen many powerful sects with divine stage magic users during my life perish with the flow of time and seen many sects existing for ages with nothing special about them existing for ages to come and continue to glow with time.

The Shaman King Mountain Sect is the later one and this sect has the same will as those sects.

United will of sect, which stubbornly refuses to chase to exist even with changing times, they use their will to turn the unfavorable condition into their advantage and slowly and steadily improve with time."

'United Will of Sect.'

Thought Farbo as he looked at Sunaya who was sitting cross legged while floating in the air and looking at the Shaman King Mountain with keen eyes.

A thin smile appeared on his face and his sadness got reduced a bit and he looked at the mountain remembering that he had come here to say goodbye to this land and see the last moments of his birth place.

Some moments later, Sunaya looked at the sky and saw that the sage emperor constellation is almost completed.

Millions of stars were gathered in a small area; so close that he is not able to distinguish between them.

Seeing this Sunaya expression turned serious as he opened his crossed legs and looked at Farbo and Daoma.

"Daoma are you done? I need to start the preparation to break the seal."

Daoma who emerged in his analysis scratched his cheek and nodded.

He had almost forgotten why they were here after all he was analysing a very profound seal which uses the power of elemental essence from nature to mention instead of power of law.

Getting the approval of Daoma, Sunaya glimpsed at Farbo who gently nodded his head as he slowly started to fly away towards Northwind city and for the last time turned around to look at them.

Sunaya was now floating at the top of the mountain with five pillars of dim white light rising up towards the sky and slowly started to become brighter and brighter to the point that he was not able to look straight, when he heard the shouting of Daoma in his mind.

"Leave quickly, this is not a place for you to remain."

Farbo turned his head and flew towards the opposite side of the light without turning back this time. He can feel his heart beating and his mind clouding over and ill feelings grabbing his heart. But he dare not turn his head as the sound of thundering sky fills the land with flicking of lighting in the cloudless sky.

Daoma, who was still present near the core of the seal and looking at the white pillars of light, took out a cube with golden ruins around it.

It is a prototype array core used to act as a power source of an artificial array unlike the nature array, this is the back up plan suggested by Vali in case Sunaya memories start to become unstable again during the battle.

Second thing he took out was a small wooden bottle and opened the tap and dropped a single drop of milky liquid on the core as rune started to shine brightly at the same time Sunaya appeared before him and opened his hand.

Daoma nodded his head and handed over the cube to him and opened a space gate to leave.

When he heard the voice of his master reaching his ears.

"I leave the duty of taking care of Northwind city and protecting them from the influence of ill thoughts."

Daoma turned and smiled,"You don't have to worry about that. I will make sure that the same event of massacre doesn't occur again today."and took his leave as Sunaya continued to look at the pillar of light which are slowly disappearing and saw a black tentacles like figure rising from underneath the mountain causing his expression to turn serious and turned to look at the sky and finally towards the northeast direction.

Back in Capital City, Utopia.

Clive looked towards the direction of northern lands as he heard the slow whispers in his mind and found it hard to breathe like something is trying to crush his will and gasped for breath.

This was the same feeling he felt billions of years ago, when he was taken over by the corrupted power of Chaos Champion and the whispers became stronger and stronger until he was able to hear it clearly as his back got ditched with cold sweat.

"Come to me, come to me. I am the only one who understands your pain and suffering. Do you want to get betrayed again, Do you want to be powerless again. Kai, don't you get jealous of him, seeing him surrounded by his loved one. It should be you, that is your place not his, open your heart and grab my hand. Let's become one again and take back which belongs to you rightfully."

As Vali legs tremble a hand grabs him from following down and the voice of his grandparents reaches his ears.

"Vali, snap out of it doesn't be like this. Don't tell me you are finally starting to feel ill after working continuously for three days without a break."

Vali returned back to his senses and looked around him.

His grandparents were looking at him with concerned eyes with guards surrounding him.

The cloudy eyes of Vali started to brighten up and stood up on his feet.

"Thank you, but I am ok now. My mind just blackened out for a bit. I am ok now."said Vali with a bright smile as he looked at them.

'Right, I am no longer alone. I have people who I care about and share feelings with, I want to spend the last remaining time with them instead of struggling for others. I will live as I want, I don't require some foreign power to become strong as I am the supreme king of the Zeon continent and Pridadin.'

As he continued to follow them towards the central plaza where once the Royal palace stood, a huge bonfire was ignited there with people gathered around at a safe distance while a group of magic users stood there with guards.

Looking at the red flames rising to the sky and feeling it's warmth, the darkness inside his head was slowly stripped away as the whispers disappeared and his body felt lighter like a burden had been lifted from him.

[Kai Hometown]

Unlike the capital city and other major cities, the people of Kai town were mostly spending their time inside their house with little people on the street carrying oil lamps in their hand to navigate in the darkness.

After waking around a bit, 

Kai was standing before the house of Alice as he knocked on the gate and with the sound of chaotic footsteps the door opened and Alice came out of her house wearing a light blue sleeveless shirt with a white spotless mini skirt and smiled at Kai.

"I was waiting for you to arrive, let's go."

Seeing an excited face of Alice who seems like going on a date instead of an unknown world, Kai felt envious of Alice.

After knowing what is at stake today, he was in no mood of laughing and cheering.

Seeing the seriousness in Kai's eyes, Alice turned to look at Behemoon who smiled at her.

Alice said goodbye to her parents.

Kai also went to greet his parents and say goodbye to them and instructed Morrigan to take care of them and be alert.

After that they got out of the town and found an open lake with clean water reflecting the starlight and can witness the completion of the sage emperor constellation as he summons Arya.

Today Arya was different from other days, a bright violet light surrounded his body giving out an intense feeling of danger as the things around him started to lose their vitality and lifeforce.

Behemoon and Alice were also affected by it as their senses became dull by the second.

Only when Kai stood before them, did it stop.

"Arya, how much time remains before the completion of the sage Emperor and appearance of the gate."

Arya looked at the sky and said with his emotionless face and voice,"Ten minutes. The gates will open in ten minutes."

Kai nodded as he looked at Alice and Behemoon and signed them to stand beside him.

Alice looked at Arya who looked like was glimpsing at her from inside his hood with a wicked smile on his face which disappeared a second later like it was non-existent.

Alice found it doubtful and looked at Kai and Behemoon who were standing beside her.

'Looks like they didn't notice or was it an illusion?'Alice felt doubtful.

After some time, the stars in the sky stopped twinkling and all light disappeared, covering the world in total darkness.

The next instant work was covered in intense bright light turning the darkest night into the brightest day.

The light was intense and bright that people were not able to open their eyes and look ahead of them and in a blink of time.

The magic beasts of lower ranks inside the forbidden forest started to panic and move around without any sense of direction as they hit one another and create a chaotic situation as some run out of the boundary of the forbidden forest.

Rumble Rumble Rumble

The rubbing sounds with shaking of earth caused by the magic beast created a dust cloud as it's head towards the westward direction.

The camp of fully equipped elite soldiers stationed around the forbidden forest noticed the dust cloud in the horizon with the roar of magic beasts who were clashing with one another as they moved forward.

Jai and Jordan who were present in the camp with them also received the message as they came out of their tents and commanded the soldiers for the battle ahead of them.

While at Kai's side, Behemoon and Alice were standing beside Kai looking at the reflection of sage Emperor Constellation at the middle of the lake with Arya standing at the reflection.

Kai noticed that reflection of stars looks like numerous white runes overlapping with one another and under Arya's command they started rearranging them creating an image of a door in the form of the reflection.

Arya nodded at them, telling them to come over as he opened the door.

Kai holds Alice as he uses the flight function followed by Behemoon as they look inside the door underneath their feet.

It was a rainbow colours tunnel whose end cannot be seen. Arya entered it first as they followed him inside and the door closed and the runes rearranged themselves.

Leaving only a peaceful lake behind them.
