Rise of Myriad Magic Emperor

Walking out of the royal palace nobody dared to stop them and went towards the stable to pick up a horse to ride.

Caretaker of the stable was a bald old man who politely greeted Antonio and Ava and curiosity glimpsed at Kai before taking his eyes away.

Kai didn't mind and smiled.

Sometime later, he brought out personal horses of the siblings which they mostly used to travel short distances.

Antonio and Ava got up on their horses and looked at Kai who just stood there as she reached out for her. But Kai politely rejected.

"I am good with walking my two feets instead of riding the horses."

"Are you sure? I will take too much time and will lose the whole point of us riding the horse to drop you, if you walk on foot."

While Kai was busy removing his black leather hoses and folding long sleeves of his pants and smiled at him,"Don't worry about that. I can move faster than these horses and may even reach there faster."

Antonio and Ava didn't believe Kai and tried to convince him but before they could speak Kai was already gone with their hair dancing in the air.

Leaving them shocked.

After regaining his tyrannical body of peak magic King. There was no way he was going to miss the opportunity of using it again even if it's only for a few hours.

Kai knows it may have been rude of him to leave them behind but he knew that the conversation will go on if he has stayed behind.

It didn't even take him ten minutes before he got out of the royal residential area and casually walked towards the temple but for others he was a gust of wind passing by, unseen by naked eyes of people.

'This feeling is really great. Completely different from the feeling of enhancing the strength of my legs using magic to run.'

The surrounding was full of people doing their daily works. Carrying bags in the hand full of vegetables, others were opening and cleaning the front of their shops to get ready for business.

No one was aware that yesterday large amounts of mana bombs were found throughout the capital as the investigation was carried out secretly and carefully not to notify the terrorist and create panic among the people.

Kai had already read the notice that he had been caught by the guards on charges of theft which is a minor crime but it still affected Evaron reputation as a tour guide and on reaching never the temple.

He can already hear the woman's gossip and rumours about him but he ignores them.

All things will be clarified later by the guards on Altonio command.

Ten minutes later, he finally reached his destination.

[The old temple]

The temple didn't have any door with its entrance wide open all the time. Thick thorny vines were growing on the outer stone wall, reaching the roof with its roots cracking up the wall digging deep inside with tall grass surrounding the entrance of the temple and stepping inside.

The inside of the temple was no good, roofs had big holes from where sunlight was coming inside with shattered glass windows.

On the floor of the temple and the wall vines were intanging each other with colour flowers blooming throughout the temple.

Kai remembered that Evaron has tried many times to get rid of these vines but nothing seems to work.

Kai put a little strength in his feet and tried to press the vines but to his astonishment it didn't receive any damage and looked at the wood crafted god idol at the middle of the temple.

The idol was that of a tall man with thick hairs with a gentle smile with its right side covered in a mask and it's body covered by rag like clothes with both of its hands missing and its chest and legs cracked and covered in vines.

Some words were carved below the idol stand which no one can read till this date.

Looking at the idol Kai got a familiar feeling like he had seen him somewhere.

Slowing a lot of memories flowed into his head. These memories were of Vali as he closed his eyes and calmed his mind to digest them.

After Vali and Sunaya had reconnected with the origin system. If he requires their memories they flow into his mind.

A word resonated in his mind looking at the idol as he spoke out.

"Ludura."

Ancient God of nature, knowledge and deception.

One of the great god of order factions during the dark ages.

Suddenly he felt someone standing behind him and turning his head. He found a familiar looking young man standing behind him.

Evaron knows him very well.

Leo, he is the grandson of the old caretaker and lives in the slums with his parents and was also the person who reported the findings of mana bombs inside the temple and part of the reason why he was sent to the prison.

Leo was staring at him with keen eyes like he was trying to see who he was.

"Who are you? Where did you hear that name?"

Yet, Kai was looking at Leo's hand which was a symbol of two trees entangling with each other.

'A god Sigma meaning he is the chosen Apostle.'

Causing Kai two raised his eyebrows and looked at Leo with curiosity.

"Are you the Apostle of Ludura? Can you talk with Ludura?Leo"

Hearing that Leo was surprised and stepped back in horror.

Kai found it weird and can feel fear in his eyes and turn around to look at the idol but also sensed no response.

Usually an apostle is strongest in the territory of their respective god, he can tell that it's not a tattoo but a real stigma.

Apostles are the chosen people who are like sons of God and can slowly master the borrowed divine power of spiritual God unlike Ava who is one of the candidates to become an apostle of Goodness of Truth.

One of the requirements for being an apostle is to have powerful mental strength. Yet, Leo doesn't seem to qualify for being one. Especially with his weak mental strength. There was no way that he could use divine power which consumes the mental power of an individual.

Kai wants to know if Ludura is still alive as well as the other gods from Dark Age but the very fact that Ludura is an unknown god who doesn't bless his followers is weird.

After all, he is one of the highest rank spiritual gods under Vali.

Suddenly Kai heard the sound of a horse and found it.

Ava and Antonio with the elderly servant from the royal palace with them who seems to be in more hurry then them.

Leaving them behind, he walked towards Kai. As before their eyes, the vine under their foot. Not allowing them to step forward. While whip like vines trying to capture Kai.

Kai smiled, he finally knew why he got that familiar feeling on seeing him.

The vines captured Kai but he didn't resist and smiled at Dernol who walked towards him.

"Who are you?"

Kai lips curled up,"You have not changed much in all these years, Ludura. Still faking your god idol, you onionhead. In the first place what are you doing here? Should you not be in heaven or other gods kicked you out due to the bad smell of your breath."

Antonio, Ava and Leo cannot understand Kai babbling because they can't understand the language Kai was speaking. But Dernol can understand it fully.

It was not a language of these times. It was old Pridadinan,the common language spoken during the second era as well as the language of the Zeon continent.

The words written below the god idol were also written in the same language.

Ludura's body shook on hearing Kai.

He was the first spiritual god of the second era and there was only one person who has ever been able to see through his deception and know about his true appearance as well as dare to call him onion head.

Thinking for a moment, he used one of his spiritual god abilities on Kai.

Causing his eyes to glow for a moment before he let go of Kai and hugged him with tears following from his eyes non-stop.

Sob Sob Sob

"You..sob... finally..back.. supreme..you are...back."

Antonio and Leo cannot get what had happened but Ava was able to feel that Dernol had just used divine power before their eyes.

It was quite unusual for them to see. A elderly man crying like a child hugging Evaron nor can they make any sense of what he was saying to Kai with his tearfully shaking voice.
