Note-

Your darling author-san is going on a vacation so wont be able to reply for your comments. But fear not, chapters will be updated daily.

Xia packed up all his belongings and held the small space pearl in his hands.

"See you later, master," he shouted to the old dragon soul and transferred back to the cave.

Waxing moon light shone through the entrance, illuminating parts of the cave. He dashed to the water hole and gazed inside. It was completely dark with water gushing inside with higher pressure. 'Long did not want me to enter. If I jump in now, he would become angry,' he thought as he gazed deep down.

"Long... Long Aotian, are you still in there?" he shouted, but ether was no reply to his calls. 'Long told me not to go in but he didn't say anything about my spiritual energy,' he thought as he cooked up a plan.

Xia summoned his spiritual energy and sent it inside the water hole. Ever after searching for a while he was not able to find Long anywhere.

He squatted next to the hole and pouted. "This stupid Long where did he go," he mumbled.

Just then the moonlight flickered to the inconspicuous corner of the cave. There seemed to be some dome like structure in the dark.

"Is that Long's shield?" he exclaimed and dashed over there. It was not Long's shield, but there were two shadows of a person inside it.

Xia pulled out an illuminating pearl from the space. The unconscious Felia and Raijin were laid slump inside the shield.

"Felia!" he shouted and squatted next to it. He tried opening it, but this shield was much sturdier than Long's. He tried to break it, but there was no effect on it.

Even with his breakthrough, he knew that this shield was impossible to break.

So he started scrutinising from the outside. Felia's blue complexion was the first thing he noticed. "oh god! It's getting late I have to give her the pill," he whispered.

Just then the chainmail glove on his hands vibrated vigorously.

"What is it?" he caressed its cold surface.

It vibrated in intervals.

It was trying to tell him something, but Xia was not able to understand it. He sighed. "Too bad I'm not intelligent enough to understand you,"

The chain-mail glove trembled and pulled his hands towards the shield. Xia loosed his hand so that the glove can move him as it wishes. It pulled his hands towards the shield and vibrated softly.

"You want me to touch it?" he whispered.

The glove vibrated.

"Okay," Xia slowly placed his hands on the shinning surface of the shield.

Just when the glove touched the shield, it turned glowing purple. It pulsed and vibrated vigorously.

A miracle happened then; the unmoving shield got absorbed by the glove.

Xia was completely in shock. He had never seen a weapon with the power to devour spiritual energy. He peered at it and whispered, "You can devour? What about letting it out?"

The glove vibrated as if it was a child being praised. It emitted a purple glow and a ray of purple light crescent shaped energy ray slashed out of it.

The ray blasted the ceiling of the cave. Dust and debris filled the entire cave.

"whoa," Xia shouted. He gazed down at the glove. 'This glove.... this seems to be a very powerful weapon. It seems even more powerful than a sky level weapon. Is it in heaven level?'

The thought alone made him sweat. Heaven level weapons are very rare. So rare that even the heaven realm is said to have only a few of them.

Last time, a sky level weapon papered and people got to know of its existence somehow. The person who owned it was hunted brutally and killed. Even he, who was a homebody, had heard of this terrific story.

And seeing this powerful glove, Xia felt a huge responsibility fall on his shoulders.

"I should return this to Icarus," Xia mumbled.

Chain-mail glove trembled and softly caressed his hand. It was as if it was very sad.

"But you are a heaven level weapon. If people find out I have you I might be in danger," he whispered.

The glove flew out of his hand and shook in front of his face. It then started gesturing something. It pointed to him, then at itself and then it pointed up above. 'We are fated to be master,' he gestured.

"hmmmm me... you..... sky? I don't understand 'sigh' I think its better you go back to your master,"

The glove shook side by side, saying no. It then turned around and wiggled its body. 'No, master don't give up on me I can change colours. I can also blend in I swear,' it thought.

But sadly, Xia didn't understand a thing. "huh, what are you trying to say?" he whispered.

The glove slumped. It then flew back to him and wrapped around his hands. Slowly its colours turned golden to rusted silver.

"Ohhhhh you want to hide yourself as a low grade weapon," Xia patted the glove.

With his spiritual energy, Xia probed it. he could feel the spiritual energy similar to an earth level weapon on it. 'It could even conceal its spiritual energy!' he thought.

"I guess you are awesome," he whispered, caressing the small ring attached to it.

The glove shook and let out a purple gleam. 'yay, master complemented me,' This ray hit the ceiling again, making the fragile rocks tumbled.

And the cave started to tremble unstably. 'I have to get out soon,' he thought. He picked up Felia and the puppy and placed them in his Pearl space and got out.

He jumped into the water and started wading towards the walls of the ravine. He slowly crawled up inch by inch. He had to admit, rock climbing was not one of his fortes. But still he had survivable skill to pull himself out of the ravine.

As he climbed a foot up the rocky wall, he gazed down at his dry clothes. "Eh, what is this? Why are my clothes still dry? Are they water proof? Awesome I do not have to change again," he said in glee.

'that old dragon soul I guess he was shy to deny gifting mem this,' he thought as he laughed out loud.

After an hour of climbing, he crawled over the top. Panting, he laid down with his hands and legs apart.

"How did Aotian do this? This... is so tiring ah," he mumbled out of breath.

"I shouldn't get distracted. First I have to administer the pill," he said and summoned Felia and Puppy from the space. They both looked blue as a blueberry. Their skin was clammy and cool. Even her pulse was super slow.

"Don't worry, Felia, I have the cure," he whispered and took out the pill bottle. A faint smell of roses wafted out when he opened the bottle.

He shook out two pills and placed them in their mouths. But they were not swallowing normally. "What should I do to make them eat," he murmured as panic set in.

Felia's breath was becoming fainter by the minute. He dragged her onto his lap and forced opened her mouth. "Sorry this is going to hurt," he whispered and forced the pill into her throat with his finger.

Felia slightly gagged on it. "It's okay, it's okay," he whispered and fed her spoonful of water.

The same way he fed the puppy as well. Long had said that this pup was not a dog at all, but a wolf. But it didn't look so from any angle.

He squatted next to them and waited for the pill to take effect. The pill took effect after minutes. Felia's skin started to turn pale pink from her neck up.

"Oh thank god, it's working," he whispered in relief.

Just then the ground under him vibrated. He laid low and held onto the grass under him. "What's happening?"

A small cracking sound was heard. He was on the ledge of the ravine, which is usually the weakest part. And usually the first to break off in an earthquake or landslide.

"Shit," he cursed and lifted Felia up. But there was no time. He placed them both in his pearl space again and ran.

As he stepped the ground under his feet started to collapse. "Gods," he shouted. He segregated most of his spiritual powers to his feet and took a huge leap.

The ledge collapsed right under him, crashing into the turbulent stream. He was mid-leap, but he knew that he won't make it to the solid grounds.

'If I fall the falling rocks might hurt me badly,' he thought. His heart stopped, and he held his breath.

But fear still overtook. With his eyes closed, he shouted the name in his heart. "Long...."

A hand wrapped around his waist and hugged him close. Xia too instantly held on tightly.

They both landed on solid.

Only after his legs landing on solid ground did he take a deep breath. His trembling legs were not able to support him, so knelt down. His heart was pounding loudly in his ears.

He gazed up at his saviour.

It was a stranger.. He was wearing all green with a demonic mask on his face.
