"The fao Montoya, sir! The Black Shade of 7 Blades!&8221; The guard panted as he caught his breath, his body heaving fronize the name, but for the warrior to have such a title, it must be soures popping up now?&8221; The City Lord gru his eyes in frustration as he glanced at the two Wizards froht
"Damon!&8221; He waved his hand off to the side Iround stepped forward An elderly Shade dressed in a long brown robe, covered in silk ropes and e the affairs of the City
"My Lord&8221; Dahtly
"Quickly, put together a reception and invite this Lord Intelgo or Inigo or whatever into the castle and see what he wants Be respectful about it, though&8221; Lord Gabito waved hi his forehead as he turned around back to the Wizards fro will it take for you two to find this Vaet rid of it?&8221;
Dorian focused his breathing as he waited in a guest foyer within the guardhouse The Captain of the gate guard aiting outside, standing at attention The room was sparsely decorated, with a feooden tables and chairs Some swords and other weapons were stacked in the corner, covered in dust
Severalthe guard at the gate with his grand presence
"Oh?&8221; Dorianher carefully, feeling her head rest against his chest He looked down in surprise, seeing her glare up at hi
"I a Her cheeks blushed slightly as she said that, lighting up her still withered appearance
"Shh, quiet ic spell that rinned down at her obnoxiously
Helena’s , the guardhouse door boo Dorian one last glare for good uard that the Captain of the gate had sent off reappeared, his flash flushed
"A delegation has arrived to receive you!&8221;
Meanwhile, far from Dorian, on an unusual Exotic World within the Graal Alliance…
Adown from the sky The monkey moved smoothly, its movements precise and practiced, while the hu
"You round, on wavering surfaces&8221; Sun Wukong’s voice echoed out as he lashed out at Will with a long staff, sweeping him off his feet as he tried to balance on the leaf
Will tu leaf He ht flowing around hi-&8221;
WHACK
Before he could finish casting a Spell, Sun Wukong appeared again right in front of hiht covered Will protectively, but failed to stop the attack fronore the innate barrier that surrounded Will, knocking him away
"Do you think your ene a Spell? Be faster Be stronger&8221; Sun Wukong’s voice was cool,
"Be better&8221;
Will snorted,a Spell as he lashed out at Sun Wukong
The ed the blow, but took a few steps back, just enough for Will to gain his footing
The strange scene that was playing out had been a very different one just a few days prior
Sun Wukong had grabbed Will, rescuing hione blank as they see at an incredibly quick speed
In what felt like hours but was really only a rassy World Bridge, alone with the round for ahad see by so fast Hishe knew for sure, however
Dorian had saved hiain And now this monkey had too
‘Wow, people really saveruefully The dragon, or whatever it was that Dorian was, that had done so much for him had once more saved his life
Will could recall his memories from before he was resurrected How he had lived in a small city, blinded by his desire to join up with the inner circle of his family How Dorian had awoken hi his life pursuing so of little value
‘How foolish I was’ It hadn’t been too long since then, yet Will felt as if an eternity had passed
He remembered keenly the Inheritance he had received fros A powerful Wizard of incredible skill that had lived hundreds of years ago
In his ic and the Dao of Light, the unique way the Wizard talked about the Law he studied It was a Law that was alht, from what Will could understand, but differed in that it was personalized Instead of a general Law, it was a Law that har hireater i to this Inheritance, reached the peak of Angelic Class but failed to Ascend
Will later found that his soul had been tre a state of near death For some reason, the Inheritance in his soul seen energy, enhancing his strength while he lay unconscious in a deathly state
His soul now inhabited a body that was incredible His for him to fully adapt to it Every Spell he cast cay floithin him without error
It was as if he had been reborn in a body perfectly suited to his needs, a stroke of Fate that was incredibly fortuitous
All thanks to Dorian The debt he owed that man… it felt insurratefulness he felt hard to put into words
It was at thatup to speed, that theWizard My na Will a friendly nod
"Thank you for the rescue, warrior My na back at hi explained who he was and what the situation Will had been in was He also explained what happened to Dorian and Helena, the h a Spatial Fracture
As themore and more confused
"So you travelled all this way here to rescue me? Hoould you even knoas here at all?&8221; Will looked at Sun Wukong, not understanding
TheWill a small smile
"I have a special pair of eyes So, while others a curse My eyes allow s that relate directly to rand power as he spoke
"And deep within your body, hiding away, is so that relates quite closely to ’s eyes flashed
"A re that must be destroyed&8221; His voice was cold steel, his eyes black iron
Will shivered as he heard this and saw theincredibly vulnerable The feeling passed in an instant, however, as the loom
"However, that doesn’t relate directly to you,position indeed&8221; The monkey looked at Will inquisitively,
"You are a student of Illustrious Elder Mage Horhavil?&8221;
Will paused then, sputtering in surprise
"You know of him?&8221; He stared at the powerful monkey, his eyes wide
"Of course He was an incredibly adept Light Wizard that founded his own unique school of Magic, fronize a hint of that Law and style co exao was an unexplained tragedy&8221;
Will clenched his fists as he heard that, ree had described his death to them
Betrayed by his comrades, left for the dead
Just like Will had been left for the dead, forgotten and ignored by a Faht the world of
"His death was indeed a tragedy&8221; Will kept his words to hie’s story The man’s last words still echoed firmly in his mind
—
"To whoever receives this, know that Fate has decided you be the bearer of e Horhavil, reduced to death’s door After elic Stage of the Soul, I sought to break past the shackles that held me to the 30,000 Worlds and achieve Godhood&8221;
"Alas I have failed At the lastallies, the Golden Kingdom, betrayed me, and struck me dohen I was ed to escape, striking doo of their Pariah Mages in the process and tearing a hole in the void, ending up here&8221;
"The site of my death lies here, deep within this beast infested forest Between two shattered mountains, in the darkest pit of this valley, I breathe , I only ask that you one day inform Holy Duke Archel, of the Elector Edom betrayed me&8221;
"Thank you The Cycle continues&8221;

Will would keep this secret for now The monkey in front of him had saved his life and see with being careful One day he would avenge the fallen Wizard who had helped give him a new lease on life But that day was not today
‘So many debts that I owe But I will pay them all back’ His eyes flashed,
‘One way or another’
Sun Wukong looked at the passionate and driven appearance Will had on, his face slightly aard
"Riiight So Moving on&8221; Sun Wukong shrugged,
"You are in an interesting position, Will That re that even I cannot destroy Not unless it is fully refor gestured at Will
"Is it dangerous? Can it causein his voice as he focused on his soul Internally, he couldn’t feel the presence of that re
"No, no Not directly, anyway Your soul is not suited for it, it can do naught but re shook his head
"However, just because it can’t hurt you doesn’t mean others won’t That remnant is only part of a whole Many other remnants exist, and the owners of those res that are farpaused, glancing at Will,
"I don’t o off on your own, you will not only put yourself at risk, but those around you as well&8221;
Will clenched his fists even tighter as he heard this
‘Am I to be a burden forever? Saved over and over, protected by others, forever unable to stand alone?’ His words bled bitterness in his hts were still somewhat a mess His revival was still fresh in histo the world around him
"That said… it would be better for you to learn how to protect yourself&8221;
Will looked up as he heard thehis attention
"Your soul seeht’ as the Illustrious Horhavil termed it You should be able to step into the Lord Class quite soon with that understanding If you are willing, I would be happy to help train you&8221; Sun Wukong finished his offer, clasping his hands together
"You would do that forsimply smiled
"Why not? I have as much time now as I will ever have Remember, your Fate is intertwined with mine now These eyes of rinning
Just like that, Will agreed to train under Sun Wukong Thehad nothing but good intentions for hi at such a fast speed that Will was unable to comprehend how truly quick they transversed the 30,000 Worlds Sun Wukong seemed to make the world around hile step, if transformed into tens of thousands of meters of movement
In a matter of what felt like hours, they arrived on an entirely different World, very far froantuan tree A tree that stretched fora forcefield to block off the dangerous outside air It was ically enhanced
Then and there, for the next several days, Will directly began to train under Sun Wukong
"Be better, huh?&8221; Will’s mind snapped back to the present as he stabilized hi hi towards one of the thousands of large wooden branches that stuck out fro near Some branches were s, while others stretched foras both roots and branches at the salowed fros appeared on his back, just as he landed A powerful Aura of Light surrounded Will as he soared into the air, brilliant energy flowing around hi of his Dao of Light increased, his power enhancing
"Excellent progress, young Wizard! Focus on the Law, enrich yourself and your understanding of it&8221; Sun Wukong shouted encourage leaf to another branch as well The leaf floated down nearly 500distance
He sood&8221; Sun Wukong whispered, a sense of pride filling hi the Wizard, he already felt sohtforwardness and determination
"Is this what it is like to have a disciple, Great Lady?&8221; Sun Wukong looked away from Will, up towards the sky as he spoke
A stiff breeze was the only reply he got as Will sank into a state of enlightenhed quietly
"I have co I can&8221; His voice was caled with a hint of sadness He turned to look at Will briefly
"I did not lie His Fate is indeed tied with ’s eyes flashed
"Because I saved you, the tih Fate has extended a little more… Just like with the other Anomalies I found&8221; His voice remained calm as he spoke, but underneath, emotion broiled,
"But it seems I cannot escape this Fate entirely It is still there The blank spot A point where I can see through Fate no more, despite these Eyes of mine that are blessed by the Heavens&8221; He continued,
"Everything about h… but after that point… nothing&8221; Sun Waking paused, sain,
"Is that death, Wise Lady? To see Fate, my own end Such a cruelty&8221;
A quiet pause ensued
Abruptly, Sun Wukong laughed,
"But what is life without a bit of suspense, eh? Hahaha! If I areet death with a smile and a ready fist&8221; He shook off the so his attention over towards Will
"But before I die and can guard this real Will Perhaps you can bear the mantle that I am destined to fail&8221;
"Great Swordendary prowess As a practitioner of the sworde pointers with e?&8221;
