Chapter 89: Memories
The elemental guardians can create another guardian by combining their fragments to give life to a new being. It can be similar to them, or different. But sometimes, they can create a whole different being that has more powers than any other beings in the guardian realm. It's so rare and happens once in a million years by accident. It's so rare that there is no history of such things. It's just a myth.
But, when the guardian of truth and the guardian of books created the twin guardians, they saw that the guardian of record has the most dangerous abilities that can create chaos in the whole universe. It was enough to erase the existence of the creator in one wish.
So, they looked into their future through the guardian of truth and decided to hide three pieces of Elerous fragments in theirs and keep the fact hidden from everyone. The seal was so strong that it hid its existence successfully from everyone.
The guardian of truth knew what was going to happen, so he kept his fragment within the seal and ordered the servant fairies of his house to deliver the letter right after ninety hundred thousand years to Elerous. Because the creator ordered the heavens guardian to kill every useless guardian from the realm and the guardian of book and truth were on the list.
They had nothing to do but secure their crest before their death. They made magical spells to seal the fragments and passed them on by the hands of heaven's guardian. Now they live as a human or an elf somewhere in an unknown galaxy as a human, living their second reincarnation by forgetting everything that happened to them before.
Surprisingly, a soul can live 66th time on a different planet. And here I am, going through my 2nd reincarnation with all my memories intact.
Viktor looked at the fairy who was enjoying a delicious fruit, so he gave one more. He was super hungry after travelling a long way.
"Master Elerous, what are you going to do now? I think it's best for you to leave this planet and go to another one where mana doesn't exist."
That's a good plan, but It's risky. Because the letter has warned me not to use my guardian fragment until this body dies. But this will take more than thousands of years to reach that level. It's impossible for me because half of the universe will die at that time.
"I think it's a good idea, but I'm afraid I can't do that now. I still have things to do."
Viktor unlocked the seal of the letter and five guardian fragments went inside his crest. Three of them were fragments that the guardian of the truth hid from everyone. With those three, his original fragment became full.
The five guardian fragments made more records in his library and his mana capacity increased. So many sections of new records were created inside his library and the origin of his fragment changed.
He became the guardian of the hollow by the effect of other fragments. One who can devour anything inside his fragment and still maintain his origin. A dangerous being that holds the strongest guardians fragment and uses them as his own.
Viktor opened his eyes and saw the flow of mana that he never saw before. It was floating everywhere like pollen and it was entering and exiting from every living and non-living bring.
This is what Adonis sees every day. It's beautiful.
Viktor came out of his library with the spirit and told him to go back and act normal inside the guardian realm. It was important for him to stay because his absence will make the guardians suspicious about something.
So, the fairy left after he finished his meal and vanished from the rose garden.
"Master, I felt an unknown presence from here."
Adonis came inside the garden by running to catch the person who broke in, but he saw nobody but Viktor.
"Oh, you're here."
Viktor looked at him and saw the golden flow of mana leaking out of his body. It was too powerful that he was unable to seal his presence.
"Master, was someone here a minute ago?"
"Yes, a person came by and told me to run away."
"Run away? But why master?"
"Because this planet might get destroyed soon."
Adonis was shocked to hear that.
"Anyways, let's go. I'm so sleepy. We will talk about it later."
I can't say that I'm going to die, because he will throw a tantrum all over this planet and search for that person who wants me dead. And he's living his 13th reincarnation already. I don't want him to waste anymore.
Months after months were passing like days after Viktor stopped the lifeline of the book. Elena was held captive by Adonis for many types of experiments and Viktor just enjoyed his inventions and made them into products to sell for a high price.
Just like that, more than two years passed by.
In that span of two years, the kingdom changed. Nor became the king with the help of the head priest in exchange for money. He eventually found out who killed his elder brother, so he slaughtered everyone including the king, the queen, and even the first male lead who tried to kill him in sleep because he stole his position.
For the sudden change in the imperial family, many nobles refused to follow him and protested against the rulers. But Nor became a tyrant and made them obey the rules by scaring them to death. Thus, all the corrupted nobles went extinct and the crime rate dropped to 10 percent nationwide.
The nobles had a lot of complaints about the strict rules who didn't show any mercy, but the commoners were living their life in peace. They had no complaints against Nor, so they simply thought of him as the best ruler of the kingdom. noVe)lb-1n
Later, Nor tried to give Viktor lots of land and fame but he told him to take care of Ibuki and his father instead. So, Inu became the commander of the royal knight and both of them moved to the imperial palace. Viktor's house became empty like before where only Kathryn and Adonis used to live.
But his mind was feeling unsettled. Viktor searched for the fastest way to solve the problem which was approaching him but he found none.
The only way to get away from the problem was to leave the planet he was staying on. But he hasn't collected all the undiscovered fragments. Those were also important to save the world tree.
So, he hid his fragment and started his search for other fragments around the world by following clues.
In front of the Harvort residence.
The sun was shining bright in the sky. It was the first week of the summer season in the Vestrain kingdom. On that beautiful day, Viktor was standing in front of his family to say goodbye. He prepared everything to visit the southern parts of the world but his family had no idea.
Viktor was leaving the kingdom forever.
"Son, promise me that you will come every year even for a day."
Duke held Viktor into his arms and said, "Okay? Or your mother will be upset." The youngest brothers of his also came and told him to visit often.
But only the mother didn't come to bid him goodbye. Inside her heart, she knew something was really wrong. So she stayed inside her room and watched him through the window. She didn't even shed a drop of tears.
"Son, take care. I know you are very strong but you need to be careful okay? Don't overdo anything. And remember, this is your home. Don't even hesitate to come here."
Viktor smiled and said," Yes, I will visit you."
Adonis picked up his bag and said, "Master, it's time."
For the last time, Viktor looked at his mother's face who was behind the window and waved at her. But she didn't reply to it. She closed the curtain and went inside.
She's a mother after all. She can sense the death of her son's disappearance way before he disappears. Because I'm going to erase my existence from their minds today.
I'm already thousands of years old and I don't need a fixed place called home where I have to travel for the rest of my life. Being a part of a family that will not live more than 20 years will be a waste of emotion for me.
I already have 3 parents from my past life so I don't think I need more. But it was nice to meet them as Viktor in this life.
"Father, take care of mother. I'll see you someday."
' Maybe in another world where you will live as a stranger who's returning home after work,' he hushed and walked back where Adonis made a teleportation circle to a different kingdom. Viktor smiled at his family for the last time and said, "Goodbye everyone. Take care of your health."
His body vanished after Adonis completed the magic circle and went to another country in a blink of an eye. In that process, Viktor erased his existence from everyone's memories and they became confused.
Henry asked, "Father? What are we doing in front of the house?"
The duke came back to his senses and said, "Huh? What are you guys doing here? What am I doing here?"
"I don't know but let's go inside. I have work to do."
At that moment, Viktor's mother looked at the white shirt she was holding onto and said, "It's weird. But I feel like something really important left from my heart."
She looked at the shirt that she never saw before and thought, "Henry and Feros never wore this type of shirt. Then, why am I holding onto this?"
She ran out of her room and saw his husband and both of her sons walking together towards the second-floor dining room. So she stopped them and said, "Dear, have you ever seen this shirt before?"
"Dear, what are you talking about?"
She ignored them and ran towards the closed wing of the house. The duke was stunned so he also followed her. The two sons were confused so they also followed them to the place where they were forbidden from entering.
The lady of the house opened the room where Viktor stayed and saw nothing. It was the same as she left it 21 years ago. But there was no dust as if someone just left the room this morning. The windows were open and the bathroom's water was still warm.
But there was no trace of anyone inside the room.
"Dear, do you think someone left this morning?"
The duke was confused because he felt the same when he discovered himself in front of the house five minutes ago.
"Dear, why did we close this wing of our house?"
The question of the lady made everyone think about the same thing, " Why did we forbid everyone from entering this wing? Does it belong to someone that we don't know? Are we forgetting something or someone really important?"
After that, they never found out the reason and they moved on. The closed wing became the wing for guests.
Everyone who knew Viktor on this planet forgot about his existence. Even his closest servant Kathryn forgot about his existence and became the leader of her clan in the northern lands.
