《Emperor's Journey》18.Azak

Back on the Earth, the mother was crying as tears had been flowing like waterfall. Her mind was thinking nothing else other than her missing son.
The news about the child went missing was still fruitless because none of them had the clue other the old hut which was in ruin.
The nearby neighbours could only comforting her while SIL was trying to find away to solve this or else their reputation will get blown by this incident.
****
In an unnamed mountain, an Asura was meditating under the waterfall. Let the cold water flowing onto his body as his will tried to resist the chilling sensation.
The Asura had skinny and weakly looking body. He looked like an old man who had been fasting for days. Some people believe that just a gentle breezes could knocked him down.
His disciple was just by the river gazing onto his master as the meditating session had taken place. Both of them only had a piece of leather cloth to cover their manhood.
'Why is master Azak wanted to meditate under this Saliva of Origin?"
"For what purpose?"
"Where is the current position of the Kings?"
"Why do I have to guard this stupid rock?"
The disciple goes by the name Awan. He was considered a prodigy among the Asvan but comparing to Azak, he was only considered a child before an expert.
The Asura managed to unite the nearby tribes allowing his Sado Tribe to gain more manpower. They needed more people to go up against their counterpart/arch-enemy.
Just a few weeks ago, rumor had been surfacing that Azak managed to kill one of the Seraphim, earning him the title Seraph Killer. This led to a few incidents which the Asura tried to overthrow their counterpart yet it only remained fruitless.

Livius had been hunting down creatures to satisfy his large appetite. He had been this massive need for consumption of food ever since he entered into the berserker mode.
Sadly, there wasn't any seasoning so he could only ate the roasted "beef" as it was. It took him minutes just to gather all of his guts before his teeth sunken into the meat.
"This is a disaster."
Every single bite felt like a "torture" because the meats nearly tasteless with exception some bitterness on the burnt part of the meat.
This was indeed a "punishment" for those slackers who had don't want to equip themselves with useful skills. The sadness of these lack of taste had indeed became an unforgetful memory.

"Those filth barbarians really done it now!"
"How dare they killed our brother and gets away with it!"
These two humans were discussing something heavy as they were angry. These humanoids were wearing a set of light armor and a rapier each hanging on their waist.
Furthermore, they had a pair feathered wings each on their back. The wings had some similar traits to the crow's wings with the exception of the former having a larger in term of size.
After tired of letting their frustration loose, the two took off as when their black wings flapped, allowing the force to push them up into the sky.

Master Azak had been in his meditation for days yet none of the villagers dared to disturb his enlightning moment.
Nobody knew what did the old wise seek in his meditation but something major was about to take place but none of them realised the incoming threat.
Suddenly, a burst emerged from the lake, dragging the disciple into the spirit realm while his body fell onto the ground as if his soul just left.

He saw something terrifying, a vision which could lead to either the history of their race or their destruction.
A black figure stood proudly on one of the tallest man-made mountains which was made out of corpses. The warriors of the Asura had fell to this entity who had been gazing on the horizon as his right hand wielded a sabre.
Moreover, the scenery of a great battle ended could be considered a possibility based upon the fresh blood, dripping from the edge of the blade itself.
*ROAR*
However, the next scene shook him to his core as he saw an Asura was staring at an incoming figure. The speed of the unknown figure immediately stopped when a clash sound was emitted for once.
The single clash between the lone Asura and the unknown led to a series of clashing as both sides refused to admit defeat.
Furthermore, the shadowly figure fought with such force as he had been in the offensive position while the Asura had been defending the whole time.
Moreover, the more time passed, the more the number of cuts were marked. Soon, the Asura fell as the figure walked toward the body in a proudly manner.
"You're fool for trying to rebel against Lord Asmodeous!"
The black figure stomped the weakened Asura countless times in rage. Each stomp felt like a huge boulder came down onto him.
"Why?!"
"If you had not betrayed us back then, we would had win the war."
"Why?! Answer me!"
The surrounding area had to suffer as a result of the duel which was dragging for 20 full moon cycles. The flora withered while the fauna would either escape safely or becoming carcass during the process.
****
After 15 full moon cycles had passed, the old Asura awakened from his meditation. His eyes were glowing in red when he opened the windows to his soul.
Moreover, something miraculous had happened to him during his enlightning period. His body which looked like he was in his twillight years had been filled with vitality.
"Yes…Yes!"
"This is it!"
"Thank the Origin for this wonderful gift."
"Now, the Asura can rise and claim the throne again!"
"HAHAHAHAHA!"
The Asura was overjoyed with his newly gained strength as he believe he could rule the world. He wanted to summoned the Four Kings to begin the new Asura Invasion which had been the dream of nearly every Asura in existence.

And yet, it took only one twist, one twist of fate, before all plans he had laid out for the rest of his life went down the tubes.

And as he found himself dragged deeper into a catastrophic series of events that would change his perception of the world, and the course of history for the world itself... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's comments: The story was meant to be a satire of the Japanese animanga tropes.... until it got out of hand to the point I'm not sure it's a satire anymore. I hope you can find enjoyment in it nonetheless.
