Heavenly Opposers

146 Chapter 146

There was silence as Xiao waited for the answer, as the seconds went by so did he reach closer to death, the sound of blood flowing down Xiao's chest was the only thing of notice that stayed, his eyes shinned with the madness of what he was doing, the heavy pressure around him altering reality as it fits still surrounded him in a brooding silence.

As such time ticked by after which the pressure around him started to increase by the second, Xiao's hold on his dagger turning heavy and heavy, while his heart inches away from destruction and started to quake, though such pressure didn't last for long as it was met by another power, a power that has become an umbrella under which Xiao took protection,

A clash of the mighty took place for a moment after which the serene peace returned, Xiao could feel an unknown power covering him up as he felt a will of the unknown, and feeling it Xiao, knew that his gamble has paid off,

Accept.....

There weren't any words nor was there any action, just an intent he felt deep in his soul, a treaty has been made between the strongest and the weak, and overlooking the proof stood an absolute power...

Death...

Just as the contact of promise was made the power around Xiao started to disappear, leaving him gasping at the pain that was back, willing his ring Xiao took out a pill and he swallowed it, the calming powers of the medicine healing his injuries in seconds as he got back to his tip top condition, snapping his fingers all the blood that was around Xiao disappeared,

'A sickening feeling as always....'

The feeling of being utterly powerless, the only way he even came out successfully from this ordeal was because Xiao had to waver his life. The reason it worked wasn't because the person responsible for his suffering cared about him, no it was simply because the reason that he was useful, nothing more and nothing less,

'At least I achieved something....'

The bitter feeling didn't last within Xiao as he savored for a moment the victory he earned, it wasn't the best one but it was one step forward and he would keep walking over it until he reached the point where he will be able to take revenge all by himself,

"Life is just another cycle of torture...."

He muttered as he gazed at Li Lun, who was sleeping happily in his embrace, her cute frown to her sleeping yawn was very desirable, seeing it the deep dark desire of Xiao's that he was keeping in check was starting to sparkle out but he didn't let t lose for now as he took deep breaths to calm his mind down.

The desire to possess everything...

The desire to control everything...

The desire to make everything fearful.....

The desire to see and feel the greatest adventure...

And the desire for destruction and death...

They were burning deep within Xiao's heart, his own desires that were suppressed were now letting lose, he wanted everything, he wanted his revenge, he wanted to be strong and he wanted in his hands the greatest all beauties that would shake the cosmos, later on, this was the side of Xiao was that was let loose,

'Now is not the time, come stay in, for now, I will let them all lose then....'

He desperately told himself as he held his desires back in, he bit his lips as his body trembled for some time before returning back to normal, opening his eyes they flashed with a resolve that couldn't be stopped,

'Let's just relax for now.....'

Thinking so Xiao closed his eyes as he went into an enjoyable slumber.

2 hours later~

Feeling an intense gaze focusing on him Xiao slowly opened his eyes, the first thing that entered his eyes was the face of Li Lun who still in his embrace was looking at him with a fond smile lighting her face, upon seeing her, Xiao moved much faster than she could react as he placed a small kiss on her forehead just above her third eye,

"How was the sleep?"

Xiao asked with a smile to which the star stuck Li Lun didn't reply as her mind processed the kiss that she just received, soon a full blush took over over Li Lun's face as she replied,

"I-I'm fine...."

Hearing her reply he smiled dotingly as he asked,

"Just when did you wake up?"

"Just half an hour"

Hearing Li Lun's reply Xiao froze for a moment, didn't that mean she was just looking at him for half an hour?

"Wanna go for the next round?"

He asked as he started to stand up, Li Lun reluctantly got off his lap,

"Of course, I am more confident than ever"

Li Lun replied with a toothy grin as she waved her hands around, seeing so Xiao nodded his head as he asked,

"Have you gotten yourself acquainted with the system of the tower?"

"Yeah, most of them"

Li Lun immediately replied,

"Good"

Saying so Xiao requested to Mia,

'Take us back to the lobby'

[[Yes, master]]

Soon the body of the two flashed before which they reappeared back from where they came and just like before the two of them headed to the portal without paying any attention to others that were gazing at them, reaching the tower and setting up Li Lun portal the two entered inside,

"Seconds challenge, Rite Of Unseen, find the unfindable void coy....."

The same emotionless voice spoke again as the two of them appeared in a rather humongous area, all around them they could see tall beautiful grey trees with green and black leaves touching on them, the grass was blue in color as it was spread out, and the two of them seemed to appear in a unique looking forest that was teeming with Void energy,

"Void coy? what's that?"

Xiao asked to Li Lun who was now having a difficult look on her face,

"The time limit is 15 days..."

The emotionless voice spoke again, giving the rules to the trial they have to pass,

"The void coy is a creature of the void, mostly found in the lesser void realm, they are evolved to jump through the smallest gaps in chaotic energy"

Li Lun replied as she started to look around her, her explanation still continuing,

"They aren't all that strong but it's impossible to catch them, to do so one must be capable of seeing into even the needle-like break point in energy and space"

Hearing her reply Xiao turned silent,

'Where is this void coy?'

[[Two meters from your direction north]]

Mia directly replied breaking all use of the trial,

"What do these organisms look like?"

Xiao asked,

"Think of small worms but even smaller with gray markings on them, their teeth would be outside their body, as they eat from the outside self"

Reaching here a disgusted look took Li Lun's face,

"So what do we do?"

Xiao asked to which Li Lun gaze a bitter reply,

"We need to awaken my third eye of the void"
