"Where do you think you're going?" Jin said with a sadistic smile on his face. Blade gazed into Jin's bright pair of azure-colored eyes as his expression remained emotionless.

His black eyes which were shades darker than usual black pupils would give most an uncomfortable sensation, but Jin remained overbearing as he placed his hand on Blade's shoulder.

Instantly, Blade felt as if his entire existence was being pressed to the ground.

He experienced the illusion of a mountain resting on his shoulders rendering him utterly useless as he remained unable to move even an inch of his muscle.

THRUM!

"Please... please stop. We're willing to accept you as our masters...!"

Seeing the unfavorable situation they found themselves in and knowing there was only one surefire way of getting out of this situation...

Dolion couldn't bare seeing any harm once more come to Blade, so he quickly agreed to the idea of accepting either one of the two who were many times stronger than them as his master.

As those words resounded in their surroundings, a wide grin formed on Jin's face.

His hand which was previously resting on Blade's shoulder appeared behind his back once again as Blade felt that the pressure instantly disappeared.

Blade glimpsed at Dolion who had cupped his fist and bowed his head before he also followed these actions.

Even though he felt an immense amount of pride seemingly built into his bloodline, Blade didn't want any chances of harm coming towards Dolion due to his mere pride.

'It seems that to control him, one must first control this fellow...' Jin thought while gazing at Dolion. While he thought that, Aurel appeared next to him with a cold expression.

"Was all of that necessary Jin? Tsk! Scaring my disciple for no reason..." She said.

On the other hand, Jin ignored her words with a calm smile plastered on his face while he turned around and began walking in a random direction.

Simultaneously, Blade's body seemed to have escaped his control as he realized he was somehow forced to follow Jin!

"Hey! I agreed to accept you as my master... but that's only if you accept Dolion too!!"

Blade quickly shouted as he realized Dolion wasn't following behind... or more likely, unable to.

He didn't know what mysterious magic those two were using but he was damn sure he wasn't being separated from his only life and death ally.

"Hmph! Do you think you've got a choice? It's not as if I'm kidnapping you or something.. Anyway, don't worry since I'm sure you two love birds will see each other soon" Hearing his words, Blade almost coughed a mouthful of blood due to anger...

Did this man think he was some freak?

Dolion, on the other hand, had a light red hue on his cheeks when hearing this as his brain almost forgot the situation both he and Blade were in.

"More like, temporarily accepting you as my disciple so you can quickly grow strong enough to be comparable to an Outer Disciple of the sect."

"Then, and only then would you be an official member of Limitless Sky Sect." Blade finally stopped resisting.

Not that he believed what the man said but, it wasn't as if he could do anything to prevent the outcome of this situation.

Even though unwilling, Dolion understood what was inevitable.

Their separation even if momentary, was something Dolion didn't want to experience. He was unaware why he was soo possessive of Blade, but he cared little.

As his thoughts reached here, his body, similarly to what Blade experienced, suddenly began moving on its own. But, unlike Jin, Aurel floated into the air as before long, Dolion too.

Hmph!

Seeing this, and feeling as if his mysterious front would fade away in Blade's mind, Jin levitated in the air before taking off, with Blade's body following even in the air.

...

The skies were dark and the resplendent light of the moon shone on the earth, giving everything a light green glow to it.

The flowing stream of clear pristine water that reflected the light green moon along with the countless stars in the night skies was home to an immaculate beauty who washed the dirt from her skin.

This woman's body was too alluring.

A plump bosom that shook every time she took a step and a ripe backside.

Along with those unimaginably blessed locations on her body, her aura contained a tremendous bloodthirst that seemed to come from a primal beast without intelligence and lust only for killing.

She was a beautiful young girl with long white hair that draped down her back and reached her calf.

Her pupils were in the form of reptilian slits and looked nothing like those of humans.

Her soft red eyes naturally released a dark evil that would cause others to feel a shiver up their spines when they gaze into her eyes.

Her eyes were sharp and cold as her gaze carried a hint of detachment to life.

Her beautiful face and the peculiar aura that permeated the air around her made it seem that she was not one of this world.

Seeing her reflection in the waters, she remained with an expressionless face as she stared at her otherworldly features for a long time.

Before long, she retained her mind and gazed at her surroundings once more.

Close to the edge of the stream was what she already knew as three graves along with some clothing.

Of the three, one had the dirt already dug up as her expression remained calm when seeing this, she being the one to dig it up like this since it was the only way to escape from being six feet under.

Even if she didn't necessarily need air to survive, being in the dirt wasn't exactly a pleasant feeling.

Exiting the waters and putting the clothes on, she then approached the location where her body was seemingly being drawn to.

Where she arrived was a massive pit.

In it were tens of burnt corpses already ripped apart by crazed beasts who sensed the large banquet.

Upon her arrival, the many beasts that still ate away at the bodies instantly growled at her.

But, soon after, these beasts quickly shut their voices and scrammed away when she flashed them a cold gaze that cause their blood to freeze.

Instantly, they ran for their lives, leaving the lone figure of utmost beauty by herself as she watched their antics with an aloof expression.

Her body began levitating as it floated a few feet above the tens of dead bodies. Closing her eyes and crossing her legs, she began meditating...

...

Okeanós was a city located furthest from the center of Demon's Playground Continent and served as the only path to One of the Seven Main Continents of this world.

Of course, the truly strong didn't need to pass through this place to reach the Main Continents but the cultivators with the desire to grow stronger, or those sent by the Heavenly Demon Sect as special disciples whose strength and talent have proven to reach a certain level, are sent to this city.

At one end of this city was a broad path that came from a forest.

Next to the path was a stream that lead to the other end of the city and into the seemingly infinite waters known as the Demonic Waters.

Crossing this Ocean, one would be led to One of the Seven Main Continents.

This one would be ruled by the Heavenly Demonic Cult as the overlord, the Great Demon God, was praised and revered as the One True Power in this world.

Well, at least, by only the Demonic Cultivators...

To others, he was known only as a psychopathic murderer with simply too much power. Destroying many continents now known as wastelands!!

Okeanós City was home to many relevant characters and well-off entities.

Many cultivators wished to become stronger and because of how close the sea was, there was also no end to seafood. Because of this, many people embark on journeys to visit the city because of how rich in food it was. Yet, only the fairly decent ones who can pass through the forest safely even make it to this city.

On the city walls, at the highest were multiple men in heavy bronze armor. They carried bored expressions and some were half dazed. Their heads rocked back and forth, in between sleep and being awake.

"L...Look!!!" Suddenly, one of them shouted. His eyes, previously containing utter boredom, could barely prevent the unnatural levels of lust that threatened to explode from him.

As for what caused his sudden outburst?

It could only be the emergence of an exquisite and otherworldly beauty the likes shouldn't be in this mortal world.

Her stellar appearance and fairy-like aura contained another deep soul-stirring and strange sensation originating from the depths of her soul.

Instantly, all the men which lay eyes on her body couldn't help but feel drawn to her.

Like a moth to a flame, these lust-crazed men would anger something they should have never.

As this transformed Athena made her way to the Main Continents, destiny churned and the wheels of fate began moving.
