14 Massacre

Yun Gu POV

After the fight, Me, Yun Che and Su Ling'er were mentally exhausted about what Lucius told us about the equal exchange that Lucius proposed. If I'm totally serious with you the Knowledge that Lucius show me was superb.

In this new form of medicine, the doctors became specialist and they study, research and advance in the field that they choose. This new fields of medicine are so profound that is really marvelous. They don't use the conventional way of touch the patient, they don't leave a loose end. They peform varios tests, and the results are then interpreted with the knowledge of thousands if not millions of other tests in the past. They completely reaserch the human body to the last part, no mather if they were bonnes, veins, organs, everything. Even I was shocked when I readed that all our bodies are formed by very basic compounds named proteins. The combination of these form a base that is transmited from parents to children. According to this, the secret to the different bloodlines that exist in the different species that they inhabit this world is recorded in something that they call DNA. The very basis of life in a world.

This literally made my studies advance at an astonishing speed. The heavenly Medicine Manual that I was having trouble to understand suddenly become much clear, all my doubts were answered and I realize that the human mind is in no way inferior to a god. Lucius told me that this knowledge is the culmination of millions upon millions of people that their only desire was the advancement of human life; they don't wanted to be tied by the gods or devils and be subjects to their wishes for all eternity, no! They wanted to be the masters of their fate, they wanted to discover all the unknowns that exist in this universe, and they literally killed the gods and devils that were in their path, the path to humans becoming the masters of destiny itself.

The thought of that made my mind to become more active; something that we humans don't understand was simply adjudged to the wishes of the gods. But these humans take god by the balls and decided to understand the unknown. Their most famous phrase is "If something is unknown is because we didn't have researched yet". This phrase made my blood boil, how is that we that are also humans became so foolish in comparison with the humans that Lucius spoke. I'm very ashamed for our ineptitude and traditions that only the most powerful have the right to achieve something. The other humans are better in every way than us and that is something that the only felling that I have right now is shame, pure shame.

But with this I think that we will advance, no matter how many years it take me to accomplish this I will do it for the sake of the persons in this world.

Lucius POV

Lucius was resting in a tree admiring the night sky together with him Mordred in her armor was looking at the same thing, the two children were sleeping in a provisional camp that they did to rest after they left the place in that the corps of the sect members of the Soaring Celestial Sword Sect lies.

Mordred was looking to these foreign stars for the first time so she was enthralled admiring the night sky. After admiring the stars she put her helmet aside and was looking to Lucius that was observing the night. She decided to ask him what will be their plans.

"Lucius what will be doing now that we encountered people?" (Mordred)

The voice of Mordred brings him back to reality. He cast his eyes in the face of Mordred. The pale light that was emitting the fire in the camp, make the Mordred look gorgeous; her face has two emeralds for eyes that were reflecting the light, her lips were a pink red color that was inviting him to give her a very long kiss, her small nose was the cherry on top of a cake. The fact that she doesn't put any kind of makeup makes her more perfect. Her beauty is all natural.

Mordred saw how Lucius was looking at her and she involuntary blushed but she never low her eyes in avoidance he kept staring at him with pride, the pride that a lion have for being the King.

The two were staring at each other for a long time. Neither willing to deflect their eyes from the other, after a lot of time latter Lucius spoke without looking away from the eyes of Mordred.

"We will rest first, later I will ask Yun Gu about our deal, if he accepts we take them to the Illusory Demon Realm in there we will continue our journey, exploring and finding new treasures and collecting information about the places that could contain ores, herbs, jades etc. remember that Grial told us to collect a lot of materials, and thanks to the energy expended in the Noble Phantasm Throne of Heroes, he right know is in a slumber. He told us that his energy will be recovered after 1 year and that the comet was put inside the Gate of Babylon, after all the comet is formed from a lot of precious metals and ores." (Lucius)

"So you are saying that right now we don't have anything to do?"(Mordred)

"Exactly, but that will only last a few hours more. When we start again our journey we will have a lot of things to do and the most we will battle a lot of beings. I'm sure that you want to fight legendary beings like a dragon or a phoenix so you will not be bored" Lucius say that to a visible excited Mordred to fight to her hearts content.

When the two of us was looking at each other we heard the rattle in the tent that Yun Gu was resting, He parted the curtain open and was making his way to Lucius. His eyes are red from reading a lot and his breathing more rapidly. With a kind of excitement in his faces he looked at the two that were looking at each other but the most shocking was looking to the face of his companion. Yun Gu thought that his companion was a man but no, his companion was a woman and a very beautiful one at that.

"What is the matter Yun Gu?" I asked Yun Gu what is his business at this late of the day, Mordred and I were in our staring contest and neither of us was willing to admit defeat.

Yun Gu heard Lucius speak but he observed that he wasn't moving away his gaze from his companion and thought 'She is his girlfriend?' throwing those thoughts aside he started to tell him his decision.

"I accept your deal. I will exchange the Sky Poison Pearl for all the knowledge that you have about medicine and others fields" When I heard that I looked to him right away and Mordred cheered in victory.

"Yeah I win!" Mordred screamed and make a guts pose; realizing what she did, she blushed once more and to occult her embarrassing she put her helmet back.

"Sorry about that but we were having a little of fun, jajajajaja, so you accepted. I thought that you will need more time to make the decision but all is good" (Lucius)

"Yeah I was having a lot of thoughts about what you show me in those scrolls. I never knew that existed a place that the humans in there became so powerful by researching the unknown. They discovered everything by themselves, and that is a great accomplish. With the few scrolls about medicine I started to advance in my own studies again. The bottleneck that I was in these few years was shattered and right now, can say with condifence that this is really an equal exchange. So thank you for giving me the opportunity to be better in medicine." (Yun Gu)

"Don't worry, as I said this knowledge needs to be shared, so you better start to make a plan because you will be a lot of work to do." I responded to Yun Gu and we started to share more things about this continent, who were the powerhouses, how big is the continent, exchange our thoughts in the field of alchemy etc., etc. etc.

The next morning the children started to awake and do the cores like fold the tent, gather water, etc. at noon we started our journey again and were traveling at fast speed when Yun Gu asked me something.

"Lucius how old are you and what realm is your strength" (Yun Gu)

"My age is 14 years old the same as my companion, and our strength is 1st level of Sovereign Realm and my companion 10th level of Sovereign Realm."

Yun Gu was visible shocked hearing that a person of only 14 years is in the 1st level of Sovereign Realm and that his companion… 'Ugh, comparing the talents of people is really frustrating.'

We started to reach an open space large enough to summon Charles Patricius. When we were near enough I stoped and indicates to the rest to step back, Mordred seeing what I was doing couldn't help to ask.

"What will you summon?" (Mordred)

"Charles Patricius" I responded as a matter of fact. Mordred noded and tells the others to move to the back and she positioned in a place that she can respond to any eventuality.

[A/N: I was listening the song Before Dawn from Fate Apocrypha extended version in the summoning of Charles Patricius.]

I started to circulate my energy from all my body and channeling it to my core. In there a floating fortress, a Mini-world, a Phantasmal Divine Beast and a Black Spear were orbiting my core, continuing to channel my energy in the core I decided to link the floating island in my inner world to the reality itself.

Yun Gu, Yun Che and Su Ling were watching me closely, like some kind of awesome thing will happen. His expectations were absolutely right.

I finished linking Charles Patricius and saying its true name to summon it after that I open my arms wide and clasped them saying:

"Our Transient Glory: APPEAR! CHARLES PATRICIUS!"

When i finished, the world obeyed my words. Charles Patricius that was in my inner world was materializing in front of us.

An frotress of about 1 km2 was in front of us, above the island 4 buildings begin to assemble istselfs, brick by brick the four buildings, gardens, fountains, a small pound and a black fence was appearing before our eyes. The island started to hover in the air thanks to the 8 fusion reactors fueled by solar crystals, rutilated quartz crystals that burn mercury as fuel.In the center of the garden Vimana was making her appearance in all her splendor.

I extend my profound energy to carry us all to the front gates of Charles Patricius, when we entered what greeted us was a building in Victorian architecture with blue gray bricks and black roof. Stained glass was covering in every window in the buildings. The buildings are the Mansion, a Chapel, the armory and a shed. There is a granary in the rear of the fortress,the gardens are decorated with exotic flora, in the pond fishes of diferent colors were swimming merrily. Don't let fool you the majestic view of the fortress because this is surrounded with laser guns, rail guns, magical canons and a barrier strong enough to stop the attack of 10 Divine Tribulation Practitioners. The wepons can wipeout practitiones in the Divine Tribulation Realm.

Yun Gu, Yun Che and Su Ling have their mouths so open that you can put my sword in them, their eyes are so big that you don't believe that have chinese racial factions. It was very comical.

"So… what you think? A beautiful place to stay am I correct?" (Lucius)

Mordred was unfazed, comparing Charles Patricius with The city of the Throne of Heroes is absolutely impossible. The Throne of Heroes is like one million times more bigger and grandeur that this place but the others only recovered after I call them.

"H-how? W-who? W-what?" Yun Gu was suttering. His mind decided to fly a comet and stop doing everything else.

"Don't worry old man" (Lucius)

"HOW THE HELL YOU SAY THAT I DON'T NEED TO BE WORRIED" Yun Gu for the first time in his life lashed to someone, 'How the hell you summon something like this with the power of a mere Sovereign Realm!"

"Take it easy man, you aren't young you need to calm down all you will have a heart attack" I tried to calm the man that was going crazy. And the children well… they have stars in the eyes, Su ling that was the more composed of the trio was grinning from ear to ear, tears of happiness were in her eyes.

"Big Brother I want to marry you!" (Su Ling)

I almost spit blood when I heard that, Mordred was looking to Su Ling and preparing her weapon to blow the little girl away.

"Mordred put down your weapon, Su ling its better if you are with someone that you like. You are making Yun Che Sulk and his face is like he drank 10 litters of vinegar. You know that he only have eyes for you, so it's better if you stay with him. I'm pretty sure that he will build for you a place like that. What you say Yun Che" (Lucius)

Yun Che hearing that nodded almost immediately.

"That is right Ling'er, when I were older and more strong I will build for you the most majestic palace, and the two of us will live there" Yun Che in those moments make a vow to himself that he will do the impossible or else Su Ling was going to be netorared.

I don't know what Little Yun is thinking but seeing his resolution and the fire in his eyes I think that is good.

Yun Gu recovered after our little chat and started to walk to the entrance of the mansion. The interior was decorated by chandeliers in the ceiling the floor was covered in a red carpet, there's 10 "small" rooms in the first floor and the royal chambers are in the third floor. The dinner room is big you can accommodate 100 people in there without a problem. The living room contains a lot of modern amenities like television, blue ray, an stereo etc. when the three people heard music being displayed from the stereo was screaming:

"What kind of revolutionary invention is this?" (Yun Gu)

"What fluffy couch" Says Su Ling jumping in the big couch in front of the TV.

"What a lot of books" Yun Che was admiring the books that were in the big bookcase that reach the ceiling.

"Well first we need to---" Suddenly an alarm was making noise. If I'm not wrong that alarm is when an army is surrounding us.

"Stay here, you can do whatever you want in here, only don't broke anything because is very expensive and a lot of hassle to fix. Mordred come with me" I tell them to remain calm and Mordred and I were making our way to the Armory, in that place is the Control Room in cases of attacking forces.

"When we enter the AI that Moon Cell installed started to brief us about what's happening. A lot of projections were being showcased; in there almost ten thousands enemies were surrounding us. I recognized the emblems in all the forces that were surrounding us: Heaven Thwarting Sect, Seven Stars Divine Palace, Soaring Celestial Sword Sect and Fleeting Villa.

When I saw the army that was surrounding us I couldn't help to smile, Mordred that was beside me was smiling too. I talked to Mordred.

"Mordred do you remember the game that Billy the Kid, Napoleon Bonaparte, Semiramis and Karl were doing when they were bored" (Lucius)

"You mean the Total War Game?" (Mordred)

I nodded and Mordred started to give commands to the AI. I exit the Armory and go to the gates and greet our new guests.

"Greetings guests, this place are off limits if you have something to say retire your army at once if you don't do that I will attack everyone here. It's your choice" (Lucius)

Zhuo Hanshuo POV

Before us a foreign man was standing in the gates of this floating fortress, I don't know who he is but one look from him and the females in our sects were screaming about how handsome he is. Even my daughter was blushing so hard that blood is being spilled from her nose.

"We are here because you attacked the alliance between our forces in the capture of a wanted criminal"Mu Yingchan started to speak, he was the one that suffered an absolute defeat from this man, almost three hundred disciples and 5 elders were killed in an instant by this young man.

Because we were searching for Yun Gu and the sky poison pearl we arranged forces from our elite disciples and elders to hunt him down, when the Soaring Celestial Sword Sect encounter them first we were only a few hundred meters behind them, and we saw the power of this young man.

"We want compensation too for the brutal deaths of my disciples and that you kowtow one hundred times and give us all your treasures" (Mu Yingchan)

"Let me say this, you will die at my hands! And the rest will be exterminated from the face of this world, you only have one warning the next time you or anyone else speak will be the moment of your doom" The young man shouted indicating his stance in the matter. After that he released his killing intent at us. Our minds froze a silhouette of a man standing at the top of a mountain of corpses was behind the young man in the illusion we could see the faces of everyone us covered in blood, missing limbs, eyes our heads. I suddenly have the urge to throw my stomach out. That apparition is absolutely frightening, Mu Yingchan was trembling all over, he was the one that recived the most of his killing intent.

'This is a very bad idea!' I relayed to all my forces to stand further in the back of the formation if the situation goes south we will escape inmediatly.

Silence suddenly descended when the young man withdraw his killing intent, Mu Yingchan seeing that he make a laughing stock of himself was furious, seeing that i ordered my forces to start to retreate.

"Attack!" Mu Yingchan ordered the attack and all the forces started to launch their profound arts and profound skills one after the other. When the attacks was reaching the fortress a barrier was formed surrounding completely the fortress. The attacks started to reach the barrier but none of them made a single scratch in the barrier.

The barrage of attacks were hitting the barrier, all the forces utilized every pound of strength in the attacks. After the attack ceased a cloud of dust and debris was in front of us. When we thought that our attack was a success a very bad feeling was enveloping me. I felt like the death was looking at me.

A gale of wind cleared our view and what we saw was a nightmere.

The Young Man was standing in the same place, but his eyes were glowing with a blue red hue; 'those eyes are absolutely dangerous' the iris in the eyes was a combination of a blue ring in the border and a red inner ring, the pupil was absolutely black. My thoughs were 'Death is watching me!'

The young man was looking at all of us. Every one of us shrink in terror before those eyes; when he was watching us his gaze halted in front of Mu Yingchan. A sudden smile was being formed in his face, his white teeths shone with the light of the sun. if you were only looking this smile in another place and time, you will think that is a very sincere smile but in these moments is the smile of Death Itself.

Suddenly the man disaperead of his place and was standing in front of Mu Yingchen. Poiting his finger at the neck of Mu Yingchen he did a gesture of stabbing and cutting when the head of Mu Yingchan was separated of his body.

"I told you that you will be died at my hands" That were the only words that he said, but for us were the words of Death itself.

"Retreat" I yelled to all my sect to escape. Like a dam that was broken we utilized all our strength to flee but…

"It's useless" The man say those words and in the next moment the fortress started to fire a barrage of attacks to the surrounding army. Thanks to my previous orders we escaped but the other forces were obliterated.

"To the ones in the rear, hear me out. You have two days to give me the treasures that belongs to the other sects if you don't do that I will hunt down every one of you until the ends of time. Jajajajajajajajajajaja"

The young man…Death itself was laughing nonstop. Tears were falling from the laugh. That laugh will be my nightmares, I will never forget those eyes, and that laugh. They will be hunting me in every moment of my life, we escaped and relayed to my sect to start to collect all the assets in those sects. This alliance that was meant to obtain a heveanly treasure was destroyed in a single fight. Now I know why the say that "Greed is the original sin"
