A young man – wearing black yukata and white haori with golden and red linings, forming a dragon – was walking on the streets of Japan.
His long ŀustrous silver hair flutters in the wind with his every step, gaining the attention of his surrounding peoples.
Everyone was mesmerized by his appearance as they could only stare dumbly at him.
'Hmm, now this is troublesome. I have yet to gain my previous appearance, and people are already mesmerized by it. sigh* what a sinful man I am.'
The young dragon thought with a regretful expression as he pets the cat in his hands, who was sleeping.
Wang Lei did not have horns anymore as it seems to retract on his wimps after he gained full control over his bloodline. He did not mind them in ATGverse, but here it was different. In the first place, he still had his dragon bloodline to merge with him currently.
As he was walking towards the Shinto shrine, taken care of by Himejima, Wang Lei thanked Yue for providing him with the map, or he would have been doing a blind search for it.
Wang Lei closed his eyes as he felt his energy started to return. Although the process was slow, and it would definitely take some time for it to complete return, he did not mind.
He could feel different energy that he was quite familiar with in Arifureta – Mana! There were also different forms of energy, but all of them were by-products of Primordial Energy that existed even before the birth of Heaven and Earth.
As he has been using Primordial Energy as his base, it was not hard for him to control mana. Since it would take time for his energy to fully fuse, he thought of using mana in the meantime.
After walking for a couple of hours, Wang Lei could see the sun setting. Looking away from the sun, he looked in front of him – a huge mountain with stairs reaching the top. Though it was not the mountain he was looking at, but the <Warding Barrier> placed around it. A simple barrier that does what its name suggests.
"Meow?" Kuro looked at the mountain and scratched Wang Leis's stomach as if warning him not to go there.
"Ara~, is little Kuro worried about me? Don't worry. Though I may not look like one, I am quite strong you know." Wang Lei pets her head, chuckling.
He only needs one gaze to tell that the cat he was holding was a Yokai, but he always wanted a cat as a pet, so he thought of playing with her.
Ignoring the protest of cute little Yokai, Wang Lei starts to walk in the direction of the mountain. According to the map, the Shinto shrine should be at the top of this mountain.

"Okaa-san! I have cleaned the courtyard~!"
A cheerful voice resounds in the courtyard in the front of the shrine, as a small girl – having long black hair and purple eyes – shouts at her mother from the outside.
After her initial shout, she leaves the cleaning broom outside and runs to her mother's side.
Opening the doors of the shrine, the little girl enters with peter pater, gaining her mother's attention.
Her mother had long, flowing black hair and light brown eyes. If one were to see both of them together, then he would have definitely guessed that they were mother and child, due to the close resemblance between them – the only difference being the purple eyes of the little girl.

"Akeno, good work." Little girl, Akeno's mother said and gestures her to come towards her.
Gently and lovingly petting her head, Shuri asked, "So? Why my little girl is so happy? Did something good happened?"
"Um. I am happy to be on my mother's side. Mother's smell is good…" Akeno, rubbing her face with her mother's ċhėst, said.
Seeing her daughter's silly smile, Shuri could not help but feel the warmth inside her heart.
"Mother is also happy to be with Akeno."
Akeno smiled, hearing her. But then her expression clouded as she asked, "Mother…when is father coming back? It has been so long since I have last met him."
Shuri's expression took over by sadness for a second before returning back to normal, "Soon, my daughter. He has some work to do, and he is a little busy. Once his work is done, he will come back. Since he really loves his little daughter."
"Really?!" Akeno asked with expectations.
"Really." Shuri nodded seriously.
A grin again took over little Akeno as she snuggled back into her mother's ċhėst.
Shuri face changed as she hurriedly took her daughter behind her and stares at the door of the shrine. It slowly opens as men started to enter it.
They do not seem to care that someone is inside as if they own the place.
"Who are you?!" Shuri shouted at the man standing not so far from them.
The man looked at her with disgust before saying, "She is the bitch who tainted our Himejima Clan's linage by marrying a filthy Fallen! Kill her and her daughter that has the same tainted blood!"
Others nodded with emotionless cold eyes and started to walk towards the mother n' daughter duo.
Shuri had a pale face when she heard the man's order.
"Mother…who are they? I am scared…sniff*" Akeno, scared, called to her mother.
Shuri clenched her teeth as she saw them closing the distance between them.
"If you do something to us, do you think my husband will forgive you?"
"Humph! What can a Fallen do to our prestigious clan? In fact, it would be better that he come seeking revenge. That way, we would not have to waste our resources to kill him." The man replied, totally looking down on her husband.
At this point, the other men had already reached Shuri. "Mo-" before Akeno could complete her sentence, she saw one of the men piercing her mother's stomach with a long blade.
Shuri coughed blood as her body falls to the ground, obviously dying.
"MOTHER!" Akeno shouted, horrified as she hugged her mother, tears falling from her eyes.
But the man was unfazed by all of this and order his lackey, "What are you standing there like a fool?! Complete the mission and kill that filthy creature too!"
The person nodded and raised his sword to slash at Akeno, who was crying over her mother's dying body, oblivious of the death nearing her.
Just as the minion was about to release his slash, everyone heard a lazy laidback voice of a young man, promoting the minion to stop mid-air and looked towards where the sound came from.
"Ara~, attacking an unarmed helpless woman and a cute little girl, don't you guys know shame?" The man and his minions saw a man crouching behind crying Akeno, who was also looking at him with shock.
The man was wearing a black Yukata with haori and had a black cat with two tails in his hands.
Gently patting Akeno's head, the young dragon said, "Don't worry, little girl. Your mother is alright."
Akeno hiccupped and looked towards him, "Really?"
Wang Lei smiled and looked towards the close-to-death Shuri, who was looking at him with a hopeful expression from the side of her eyes.
Pointing his finger at her, Wang Lei said, <Heal>
Surrounding mana started to gather around Shuri and started to heal her wound at a rapid pace, soon leaving nothing.
Everyone in the shrine seems to be surprised by what they saw as it was truly shocking to them; especially, for the man. He has seen much different healing magic, but this was his first time seeing the magic that could heal a mortal wound in seconds, leaving nothing behind.
"Who are you?" The man asked cautiously while gesturing his lackeys to form a circle around him.
"Hm, me? I am just a passerby who thought of visiting the shrine. But who knew that you guys would be bullying a milf and a lo- ahem! A mother and a child."
"…" Everyone become silent as they looked at Wang Lei speechlessly. Even Kuro was looking at him with a questioning gaze.
"Mother, what is milf?" Akeno asked her mother, getting over the fact that she is alive and not dead.
Shuri was happy that someone saved them but was speechless when she heard his reasoning.
"Nothing, Akeno. You will know when you grow up." Shuri said before standing up with Akeno and hiding behind Wang Lei.
Though she did not know who he was, she at least did not feel any ill intent from him towards them. She was a shrine priestess and was quite sėnsɨtɨvė to evil and ill intentions. She could tell that Wang Lei was of a pure heart. He had the purest heart she had ever seen, making her think whether he was a saint or something.
If Wang Lei knew what she was thinking, he would have only smiled. He had control over light and dark, a complete balance. To people, who believed in the light, he would be a saint; and to people, who believed in the dark, he would be a devil.
"Since this matter does not involve you, I advise you to leave. Or don't blame us for killing you, human!" The man threatened him while pressuring him with his aura.
"Ma~, I am scared. What should I do, Kuro? I do not want to die yet." Wang Lei 'sacredly' said to Kuro, who was looking at him with a deadpan expression.
The man frowned seeing his acting. His eyes become sharp as his killing intent covered the whole shrine, making its inhabitant, except Wang Lei and Kuro, shivered with utter terror and despair.
"If that is your choice, then you can also die with those filths!" He shouted before launching towards him.
A smirk forms on Wang Lei's face as he stood up. His red slit eyes had a black-blue hue in them, shining in the dark as he said.
<Arise>
Suddenly, the surrounding temperature dropped as an enormous aura enveloped the shrine. Everyone saw Wang Lei's shadow deforming and something coming out of it.
The man stopped in his tracks as he felt an enormous presence from his shadow as if it contained the world's most dangerous beings in it.
After what seems like an eternity, a shadow came out of Wang Lei's shadow, forming a silhouette of a man. His blue eyes gazed at the man, making his hair stand all over his body. Terror crawled his skin, making him immobile.
The shadow man gets on his knees in front of smirking Wang Lei as a domineering voice left his mouth, "Utiss, answers the call of King!"
"Kill them." All that left Wang Lei's mouth were cold and emotionless words, petrifying everyone present. They could not find even a single emotion in his voice.
Normally, a person would have certain emotions in their voices, like the man who had disgust with killing intent. But they could feel noting from Wang Lei, making them realize that the man in front of them would not mind killing millions or even billions of innocents if they stood in his path.
"Shit! Run!" The man shouted, already at the door of the shrine.
But he stopped when he saw Utiss standing before the entrance of the shrine, "King's orders. You all need to die." He said before vanishing from his place.
All it took was even less than a second before the headless bodies of every person fall on the ground, dying the once clear shrine red with blood.
Wang Lei seems to be unfazed by the scene of carnage in front of him, but the same could not be said for the Himejimas. Shuri hides Akeno's face in her bosom while trying hard not to throw out.
"Hm. They were quite weak, no? Kuro." Rubbing his chin, Wang Lei asked his cat that had her fur standing erect due to the danger she felt from the shadow warrior Utiss.
"Don't worry. He will not hurt you. In fact, if you want, you can play with him."
"…" Utiss was speechless by his King's words. He was praying to not end up like his predecessor, Hydra aka Orochi.
Hearing him, Kuro seems to calm down but still valiantly looks at Utiss, not letting her guard down.
Looking back at Himejimas, Wang Lei spoke, "Now, where will you guys go?"
Shuri, who was trembling with fear, calmed herself down before replying, "We will return back to Himejima Clan."
"Hm? But they wanted you guys to be killed, no?" the dragon asked confused.
Shuri nodded while still stopping Akeno, who was trying to take a look at her surroundings, "Well, the person you killed was my uncle, Suou Himejima – the current head of Himejima Clan. I need to meet my niece, Suzaku Himejima. I need to inform her about the death of Suou. As the next Clan Head, she will have enough connections to ensure our safety." Shuri explained.
Though many hatted her in Himejima Clan, she knew that the safest place was near her niece since other people would probably reject them after knowing her daughters' bloodline.
Wang Lei made a thinking face, contemplating something.
"Well, then let's go and find lodging first as you probably would not want to sleep in this place. Anyway, I am quite free so I will lead you till Himejima Clan." Wang Lei said.
He was quite free, well, until certain someone came looking for him. He thought of visiting Himejima Clan and make sure nothing bad happens to lo-little Akeno.
Shuri becomes happy hearing it and hurriedly nodded. If she could go with him, then she would not have to care about any potential danger along the way as the shadow warrior seemed quite strong.
"Let's go then." The dragon said as he left the shrine with Kuro in his hands, and Himejimas following after him.
