Chapter 200: Heaven Gates (Part-1)
With the sound of rings of clock Kai
Kai woke up from his sleep and found his room still covered in dark indicating that it's still night and turned on the oil lamp and turned his head to look at the wall clock which was showing 7am.
Remembering the words of his master, Kai cannot help but look around.
'I still can't believe that there will be a day when the sun does not rise and the entire day is covered in dark sky under the light coming from the stars.'
It was also quite an unusual experience for him to use an oil lamp instead of a magic lamp while staying at western palace. But, instructions have been passed around the kingdom by Chronos Magic Academy to deactivate all magic devices throughout the continent on the immortal Day festival.
According to Daoma, occurrence of violent surge of ether with wide fluctuations is common today and has adverse effects on magic devices.
'They should rename today as Immortal night festival instead of immortal Day festival.'
Thinking so, Kai got up from his bed and entered the lonely hallway illuminated by fire torches.
When he heard the sound of footsteps and found Alina walking towards him in a hurry while holding new clothes in her hand.
These days, she has taken on the duty of his personal maid and takes care of all his basic requirements.
Alina also noticed Kai standing outside his door looking towards her as she never got him.
"Master, You have woken up?"
"Just a few minutes ago. I am planning to take a bath so you can place the clothes on my bed and wait for my return.
Alice nodded in response with a smile.
After sometime retuned and Alina helped him wear his new fancy clothes for the festival and entered the dining room which was mostly empty.
Jai has returned back to former eastern command headquarters which is now used as a training center.
Bolt and Asava are currently supervising Rio city and Northwind city.
Kaya is also in South City and helping her adapt with her new position as a city lord.
Lily is with her father Roland, while Ellie and Diana are in Amon city.
While Daoma, Sunaya have left early in the morning for Shaman King Mountain with Farbo who wants to witness the last moments of his birth place; while others are making preparations for the fight.
The only people present are Vali and Behemoon with his grandparents and Alina.
Vali with his grandparents are going to manage the festival ceremony and security.
Kai looked at Behemoon who was also going to accompany him to the celestial world with Alice and was pointing to the seat beside her.
Kai smiled and went to sit beside her.
Yami and Elena were looking at their grandson with deep concern.
They already have heard that Kai is going to some unknown place called Celestial world from his teacher Daoma.
Though they want to stop him but they also know that for the people of the continent and citizens of Burford Kingdom. Kai must go and attain the power to stop the being which once had made the world enter the dark ages.
The most unbelievable information they heard from Daoma was about the relationship between Sunaya, Vali and Kai.
To think a person that both Sunaya and Vali are Kai from different timelines.
Kai looked at his grandparents who had the same worried expression as his parents.
He knows that they are worried and Daoma has disclosed everything about him aside from his origin bloodline.
Some days ago, Sunaya and Vali also went to visit his parents with him, as they were having a gut feeling that their day of disappearance is coming near with each passing day and had a wish to talk to them face to face. But still
aside from being emotional and almost breaking down on meeting them, they were not able to reveal their identity and tell them about themselves.
But his mother and father did ask him later as they had the same doubt and feeling when Kai had returned after eleven years. He didn't hesitate and told them everything about them as well as about his journey to the celestial world.
Of Course his mother and father were against it and I needed their help to understand them.
"Grandfather, Grandmother don't I know I am going to an unknown world. But don't worry too much, I will return by the end of the day and we will celebrate. The victory of finally getting rid of Chaos Champion."
He knows that his grandparents and parents would still worry but this is the least he can do to make them feel comfortable.
Seeing the serious expression on their grandson's face and looking at Behemoon who was also nodding to them.
Trying to tell them, to not worry.
Yami and Elena gently smiled, Alina who was also present smiled.
After dinner, Kai and Behemoon said goodbye to his grandparents and looked at the capital city for the last time which was decorated with various paper lamps of different colours wearing new clothes and walking the streets and enjoying their life.
They didn't know about the incarnation of evil which is going to be released soon nor that some people are risking their life to protect them.
Seeing them Kai felt envious, he had dreamt of becoming a magic user since his childhood and he had fulfilled it.
Living in the same world as them, yet the kind of life and responsibilities he has in exchange are totally different.
'Is this what they call. With great power, comes great responsibility.' thought Kai as a thin smile appears on his face as his magic robe flickers in the wind while looking at the city using the flight function of the magic robe given by Daoma, which he had assumed had been destroyed during his journey of Samsara world.
Only later did Daoma tell him about the self repair ability of the modified magic robe enhanced by Dai Yusa.
"Kai. It's time to go."
Hearing that Kai turned around and looked at Behemoon who was looking at him with her sparkling sea blue eyes as her rosey lips curled up while her soft hands held her hands.
Kai nodded as their eyes met, usually Kai traveled with Jai; but for the first time he was traveling with Behemoon as they flew towards his hometown to meet Alice.
