Lyon's words were laid out with such ease as if it was something ordinary to say so. Though he didn't know how much exactly what her father means to her, he could make out a rough guess from her tears and her fists.
His swollen face was trying to pucker up a smile despite struggling hard to push those giant cheeks of his.
Ayumu had her eyebrows weakened as she looked at the figure whose height was halved. There was nothing sort of doubt from his tone, but it was too hard for even her to believe in his words. She already had the best doctors or cultivation physicians to look at his father's condition but to no avail.
"They... all shook their heads."
Lyon creased his eyebrows as he heard her mutter before both of his wrists were grabbed by the latter. He could feel the tremble, the pain, and the hopelessness just from that act alone. His heart was sour as he looked at the beautiful woman looked at him with tears.
"They all shook their heads, Lyon!"
Her voice turned hoarse before her head hung down in despair, "They all shook their heads... all the doctors, all the physician, they are famous for nothing! None of them knows how to wake him up! The Great Garuda shut his eyes!"
"I know..." her lips trembled, "I'm just putting the blame... but what can I do?"
Her tone was deeper than the abyss before one black tail suddenly encircled her waist to her surprise. It slowly lifted her up before her face was laid bare against the swollen face of Lyon whose arms were crossed. Not a single bit of sadness was hinted at on the latter's face before he shook his head.
"First of all, I'm going to tell you why. There is a reason why I kill the Golden Wise Tree, I didn't do it out of boredom. I mean, who hunted ancient beings like that out of boredom haha."
Not only Ayumu, but the lady with the purple lips, Madoku's sister, raised her eyebrows in interest of about what Lyon's going to say. She had observed Lyon's fight against the ancient being but she could have never guessed why the fight happened.
"The Golden Wise Tree is not truly wise in the sense that it has... I mean had lived for years or maybe generations."
"Huh?"
"Let's think for a second," Lyon smiled before he continued, "Why would a tree, no matter how big it is, how large and vast its root was, know what's going on in our world, or Mortal World as it liked to call it."
Ayumu was contemplating his question but Madoku's sister directly laid out her answer.
"Sorry to interrupt, your topic is quite fascinating. Everyone is blinded that The Golden Wise Tree is an ancient being with a lot of knowledge that no one started to doubt. However, in the same sense of its age and how the tree evolved, wouldn't it be natural that it knew how to collect information from the outside of this plane while remaining its body here?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that is true, except for one thing. It was so wise that we often neglected it as cunning. If everyone had known its fame for having the knowledge of our world and if we are all given one chance of asking anything we want, any information. Heh, nobody would ask the tree how did it gain such vast knowledge. Well, nobody, except me."
"Guess, what the answer was?" Lyon teased playfully with his smile as he could even felt the anticipation behind the floating eyes and the floating girl that he picked up.
"He dodged it."
"Hmm?"
"He dodged it, he kept it as a secret, thus I played his game and left. However, he didn't want me to leave and instead, strike me with one of its roots... or was it one of its branches... I forgot. Then things escalated to me stabbing my sword against its giant trunk."
"I see... and then you are fighting the ancient being and brought about the loud noise that reverberated all across the entire plane," muttered Madoku's older sister.
(Wait a minute, so that loud noise of a battle, WAS YOU AND GOLDEN WISE TREE?!) thought Ayumu before she gulped her saliva as she found out the truth of the matter.
"However, that's not all," Lyon's eyes turned sharp as he furrowed his eyebrows, "The giant tree, the Golden Wise Tree is not dead yet."
"What?!" Ayumu quickly exclaimed, "So where is it then? Quickly, tell me!"
"Hahaha, calm down Ayumu."
"Perse."
"Perse?" Ayumu didn't understand what he was talking about.
"Curious, curious, please do tell Lyon."
"The giant tree was not its real body, the knowledge and the experience of its life is still intact in the real body. However, I don't know what, who or where is it located. There is a high chance that 'it' is in this very plane though."
"What?"
"Oh my, oh my, this is quite exhilarating news! To think that the ancient being Golden Wise Tree is just a front! Ah..."
"That's nothing, now connect that to the question I asked you earlier Ayumu."
"Hm?"
"What is the purpose of us or any generation before us, being sent here?" Lyon smiled as he dropped the bomb out of nowhere.
"Was it really to prove who is the best in the generation like what we were told, or is there a hidden agenda? In fact, what is this plane? Is it artificial or is it real? There is only one person that knows the answer to those questions... or rather being."
"The Golden Wise Tree itself..." The lady behind the floating eye muttered.
"Correct, with how wise or should I say cunning the old tree was, you cannot exactly tell which one that came out of its mouth is the truth. It is called Wise not Truth for a reason."
"That's..."
"Interesting, interesting. How your view and thoughts running in your mind are as sharp as the red sword you use to kill the giant tree, or old trunk as you may call it."
Lyon didn't know that the praise coming out of Madoku's sister worth more than the highest grade of Mythril metal. Not many could gain her acknowledgment, let alone someone with a cultivation level as low as him.
"Well, that is it from me..." Lyon shrugged before he let Ayumu down.
He walked past her before he muttered, "Don't worry about your father, leave him to me."
He crouched down before sitting with his legs crossed against the only woman that slept the entire time of their conversation. Her silver hair was something out of this world. He had met so many women yet only she had the nobility imprinted on her head.
He let out a sigh before his body started to revert back to normal. His height returned to its original height and his four tails were no more. Sitting topless, he put his hand on his knee to support his lazy face. The bearing of how amazing he instantly vanished and the only one that remained was nothing but an ordinary boy, an ordinary young man.
"Sylviana, I guess I never had the chance to say thank you huh."
Lyon suddenly muttered with a tinge of smile on his face. There were a lot of things going on and they were going on too fast that sometimes even he himself couldn't catch up.
Kingdom of Nostria, the place where he was summoned into this crazy cultivation world where killing was almost a norm. Was it not because of Sylviana, he technically could have died without knowing anything. He was lucky that she was the queen, although things could have gone a little bit better for his sudden entrance.
"I don't know what crazy stunt did you perform to get yourself here, but, it will be fine as long as my eyes can see you and I can sense you nearby."
He shook his head, "I thought about winning the Throne for fun honestly, however, never did I expect to be having a reunion with you here."
"Gungnir, I know you can hear me," his eyes turned sharp as his bearing changed into that of a ruler before he continued, "protect her with all your might, your new master needs your strength. If you are half-assing, I will truly make you into a nunchaku."
Ayumu and the lady behind the floating eye were taken back by Lyon's words. The Throne was the highest honor any young generation could ever participate but the young man only joining for fun.
(Oh my, oh my, if Kaiju were to hear what Lyon was saying, I wonder if his head would explode from anger) thought Madoku's older sister.
"Speaking of which, I think the battle between the Wind Fist and Heaven's Son is entering its final session. Now then little sister, what kind of harpoon did you bring to bring down both of them whales in one throw."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
