Sky Fall Legend 97 Jupiter Vs. Vik Saver 3

"Mr. Jupiter!" Dessa whipped her head around to see Jodye Trill standing there casually next to a little girl in red. The excitement in Dessa's eyes s.h.i.+fted to shock and confusion upon seeing the child, as she was far too adorable. Dessa felt this child was simply not real, but a doll! This was Dessa's first time encountering a female child from the negus lineage, and she thought that the child's smooth brown skin was beautiful to the extreme. Dessa secretly wondered if this child tasted like chocolate. "Quickly look, I've discovered… Uhm. Who is this little cutie, Mr. Jupiter?"

"This is the little lady of the Nile. Little lady Nile, it is my, the mighty Jupiter's, great honor to introduce you to my Right Hand. Her name is Dessa Chimes," Jodye Trill hadn't paid particular attention to River's appearance, as he recently saw the angelic Bilan Moon. Bilan was the first girl to make his heart race since his rebirth. He couldn't take a tiny little girl like River seriously, in spite of being the same age as her himself. Jodye's hormones were far past his age. HE simply introduced the two girls here to each other and then briefly explained the situation to Dessa, while keeping track of the man she was watching a second ago with his divine sense. Jodye noticed that as soon as he appeared, Dessa's previous focus dropped to null.

He made another mental note to correct this issue. Dessa was far too relaxed in his presence. It was apparent that she was utterly dependent on him. In Jodye's opinion, she should experience the opposite reaction, becoming far more vigilant in his presence while wanting to be depended on. She should become the most cautious in the presence of her lord, lest he suffers due to her negligence.

On the other hand, when Dessa heard what Jodye had done her heart felt warm and she subconsciously started truly wors.h.i.+pping this boy who changed the course of her life. Somewhere in her heart, Dessa always thought that Jodye had some desire toward her. She just couldn't picture a male helping her otherwise. Now, Dessa knew she was wrong and she regarded him as her everything.

How brave!

How chivalrous!

This was what a man should be like, but wasn't this merely a child? Dessa knew this child would be impeccable one day, and due to her previous predicament, she felt insecure without having a master to depend on. This was a mental barrier that she would have difficulties escaping for the rest of her life. However, this was also the reason that after hearing what happened to River, Dessa was utterly p.i.s.sed off!

"Those perverted b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!" Dessa's eyes were colored with rage, "How dare they swindle such a little angel. Master Jupiter, may I kill them?"

"Kill?" Jodye Trill smiled wryly while he shook his head in rejection. At the same time, River Nile was turning red as a beet once again from Dessa's endless compliments, and hiding behind her savior's leg in embarra.s.sment. River was very sheltered growing up, and she usually only heard such words from her mother, her brother, or the maids. No one else would dare to address her directly.

Jodye was a bit caught off by Dessa's violent outburst, but after swiftly thinking it through he was able to make sense out of it. Dessa would definitely be the clearest about what could have happened to River had Jodye not interfered, "Even I cannot kill him at my current level unless I take some risks. Much less you, Dess."

"Ah!" Dessa Chimes looked scared, her imposing aura vanis.h.i.+ng completely. After all, Jodye was currently the strongest person she knew, if they discounted Uncle Sigma and old man Ca.s.san. "So even Mr. Jupiter can't kill them easy? How scary."

This time, Jodye was not surprised at all. He figured out that since he already was seriously helping her cultivate the t.i.tanic Rage Law, her temperament was bound to undergo changes due to this. After all, hadn't his done so as well? It wasn't called t.i.tanic rage qi for anything. Of course, since Jodye's soul was incredibly strong, the changes to his own personality were significantly reduced. Dessa's soul wasn't so powerful yet, even though it seemed to possess some hidden strength that attracted Autumn Saver.

Luckily, she had only just started practicing, so the effects weren't very noticeable unless she got irritated. Jodye had time to figure out a solution. Due to Dessa's own torturous experiences throughout her younger life, this particular subject could be considered her reverse scale. It would easily trigger her rage. Merely, due to her introverted personality, this was never as apparent as it was currently.

Jodye suddenly had a new idea about this land's eventual reformation under his hand. First, though, he needed more strength! Without strength, he was nothing, just a speck of dust in the wind!

Jodye wrote out another mental note to himself to consider teaching Dessa soul cultivation. He had to work out the cause and effect of such a thing. After all, it would do her no good to be overly emotional, but it would also do himself no good if she were too independent. He needed Dessa to be impartial in all matters, seeking only justice as defined by their own morality. However, he also required her to heed his every command, even if it went against her own personal beliefs of temporary interests. This was the ideal Right-Hand in his mind.

As for the Left-Hand, Jodye had precise requirements for that role as well. Dessa simply didn't fit into that role at all, and neither did little Aiken Moon. Of course, Jodye was in no rush. How old was he currently? He had plenty of time to build up his loyal cabinet. Most of this cabinet would likely not come from the West or South Wards. These corrupted states didn't have the environment required to raise his trusted aides. He could only align himself with talents on the same level as the geniuses of the Legendary Star Realm, without the corrupted mentalities of the voodoo states! The Legendary Star Realm was the place where the most powerful mystic laws existed, it was like an entirely different world. In that realm, powerhouses were as common as ants in an anthill.

Yet, Jodye wanted to find Legendary Realm level geniuses on this life star of the Bronze Star Realm. This was not something easily achieved. So far, Jodye had been lucky just to find a Dessa Chimes. Finding an entire retinue of comparable talents?

Difficult!

The ancient T'Zhane, Jupiter t.i.tan, battled many geniuses of different races from the Legendary Star Realm. The most powerful races cultivated heavenly powers just by increasing the rank of their bloodlines. Origin G.o.d Beasts were a great example of this, as their bloodlines rewarded them with original immortal conceptions. By circulating the original immortal conception, they were able to promote their strengths and ranks with minimum effort. They simply had to grow up and consume potent flesh and blood energies and they would grow stronger. This was also the case for Jodye! Other races had other systems, but for the most powerful races, they all had excellent bloodlines that granted them real strength.

The hero race was wildly known to be an inferior race. Only in recent times had they broken through the shackles of mortality to create immortal clans and heritages. By mastering the laws of destiny, humanity was able to develop their own unique quality. The hero race were the darlings of fate! In T'Zhane's memory, not many humans existed in the Legendary Star Realm at all, the only hero around were all negus. This was the reason that the t.i.tan's memories involving the hero race were limited and that Jodye didn't know to distinguish Negus from other heroes. For Jupiter t.i.tan, all heroes were Negus, he didn't know that there were so many different cultures and sub-races.

Jodye's combat souls may have retained consciousness, but they seemed to be in a similar predicament. Of course, Jodye also thought they were just worried about how much they should reveal to himself as he was still too reckless and ignorant of this world. After all, they came from a period millions of years after the one Jodye originated from. Even though he still had some confusion in regards to his transmigration, he was now aware that they had basically been banished throughout time and s.p.a.ce. They were somewhere deep in the past, yet somehow the civilization of ancient times was far more complicated than his own.

This was beyond what Jodye could currently comprehend. He would have to walk this path slowly.

"Maybe Earth was merely in the lowest of the lower star realms, making it impossible for experts to be born there," thought Jodye Trill to himself. "But then, what about Sansa and those other two? Were they not from Earth? No matter what I must reach a level where I can understand this!"

When it came to making progress as a hero, Jodye Trill had no shortcut, he had to discover the limits of his body and soul on his own.

He had heard people in the world mention bloodlines, and he listened to his combat guardians do the same. He was even aware that he had inherited dragon's blood due to his legacy fusion with his Vajra Dragon combat soul! This was no ordinary bloodline. Instead, it was a Divine Dragon's bloodline essence. However, no one bothered to explain these truths to him yet. Jodye was only told that he would know on his own one day.

However, from Jodye's inherited memories he remembered hearing a rumor about the hero race. It was said that as long as their souls possessed a certain level of strength, they could a.s.similate with nearly any bloodline! Of course, that was under the premise that their bodies could handle it. Otherwise, they would explode just like anyone else. To Jodye, this was confusing but still sounded pretty bada.s.s! Heroes, though considered the weakest race, had an edge that others simply didn't possess?

Jodye wondered why that was, but he didn't have any way of knowing for sure. However, he presumed based on this information at hand that it had something to do with the mysteries of fate and the soul. The strength of one's soul would directly influence every other aspect of their life.

"Oh?" as Jodye Trill was thinking to himself, he noticed that the big and burly man that Dessa had been spying on stopped in front of an abandoned and sealed up old shop. He pulled out a cyan colored token from somewhere before speaking into a serene sound stone on his hip. Jodye Trill picked up River again and dashed over, leaving Dessa to follow him instinctively. A minute and a half later they landed in an alley across from the man in question. Jodye swiftly ran two blocks and spoke to Dessa Chimes via the telepathic link he had established in her spiritual sea, "Why were you following that burly guy?"

"I heard him talking to his friends about some woman they were keeping in the back mountains! They were in the city searching for a little mistake or something." Answered Dessa Chimes awkwardly. She wasn't very accustomed to using her soul to speak. "I was hoping to follow them to the little mistake and then report it all back to you."

Jodye's eyes flashed with golden lights as he glanced down at the little girl in his embrace. This issue seemed to be bigger than he initially thought. That burly guy should be more powerful than Vik Saver, at least. How exactly did River escape pursuit? There was almost no way she could have survived under the watch of various experts at that level. Unless… she was like him and possessed power that transcended her surface cultivation.

Jodye Trill grinned and seemed to suddenly figure something out.

However, now he was more suspicious and thus more cautious. Should he proceed? Or abort?

Right at that moment, the burly man dripped a drop of blood onto the token, which emitted a soft cyan light before floating up to the door. Seeing this scene, Jodye made a quick and bold decision, he placed River in Dessa's hands and commanded, "Find Aiken and regroup somewhere near here. Do not make a move unless you hear from myself or Uncle Sigma and company. Understood?"

Dessa looked indignant, but she knew her master was likely about to do something reckless and dangerous. This was the same look that was in his eyes when he decided to explore the dark cave. There was nothing she could say that would change his mind. Dessa didn't want to become a burden, so she just nodded her head. She decided that she would perform the tasks she was capable of achieving.

"Mr. Jupiter, I know that place, take this River with you!" blurted River Nile leaping back into Jodye's embrace. She looked anxious, yet terrified. "Please, mister, please!"

"Ugh," Jodye could sense with his divine energy that the man had just vanished, but the distortion in s.p.a.ce still existed temporarily. Due to Jodye's experience in the chaotic streams of s.p.a.ce, his body had become rather sensitive to spatial law fluctuations. Of course, Jodye wasn't totally aware of this fact. He was not sure why he knew how long this distortion would last, but didn't think to profoundly into the issue and dashed across the street. Jodye carried River running straight at the sealed entrance as if he was a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t amid battle. However, to the shock of any who noticed him, he simply pa.s.sed through the sealed off entrance like he never existed.

Many people could make neither head nor tail of this.

"Did you see that?"

"IT APPEARED!"

"Did that boy just…vanish? What sort of Phish was that?"

"That didn't seem like magic phis.h.i.+ng, right? Let's go check out that wall, maybe there's a treasure!"

"Yeah let's check it out, we cannot let the kid get all the spoils."

"Isn't that where that Ethan Brut was a second ago? What happened to him?"

"Ah! That's it! The kid must have followed after Ethan! There must be a way in after all!"

"s.h.i.+t, it won't budge. Come on, wasn't anyone watching properly?"

...…

Meanwhile, on the other side of the entrance…

"Woooahhh!"

Jodye Trill had little River tightly pinned to his chest as they slid down an excessively long dirt tunnel that was too smooth to grip in any way. Jodye definitely never expected to fall into an amus.e.m.e.nt park ride during this spying adventure. After two breathes of time, the two kids felt a wave of heat a.s.sault them. Jodye was able to see a bright light at the quickly approaching opposite end of the tunnel slide.

At this point, he couldn't help but turn incredibly anxious! It was more than evident to him now that he had dragged them both into a trap. That entrance must have a formation that sends intruders down a different way. Or maybe this was the way the entrance was designed so that anyone who entered would immediately be under control. Either way, there was nothing good awaiting them at the end of this tunnel! Jodye sent his divine energy down the tunnel in advance. However, what he perceived made his body tense up even more.

Jodye and River slid straight out of the tunnel and were greeted by the rear end of an enormous Vicious Red-scaled Fire Lizard! This was a level 8 Vicious Beast that was rumored to be descended from an actual dragon! It would probably evolve into a Trickster with dragon blood, or a Drake, one day! The wave of heat they felt came from the body of this beast! The Red-scaled Fire Lizard's body was at least 10 meters long, and its head stood eight meters high above the ground.

The vicious beast's eyes that were closed initially suddenly snapped open. Jodye grabbed River, and a golden atmosphere exploded out from his body as he released his full strength to duck and roll under the beast's ferocious three-meter-long tail that swept out at the pair of children. Feeling that devasting heat River screamed in fear, as Jodye desperately s.h.i.+elded her with his own origin qi. The Red-scaled Fire Lizard whipped its head around and released a deep breath of magical fire!

Jodye felt his hairs stand on end and both of his lives flash before his eyes. River's sky-piercing scream reverberated in his ears. Jodye's face was glum, and he mocked himself, "f.u.c.k…a young divine dragon murdered by a mere fire lizard. What a joke…"

Even though he knew it was useless Jodye thought to summon one of his combat beast souls, and with thought, the [Cosmos Revolving Grimoire] flashed into existence. However, before Jodye could relay another idea, the heavenly grimoire flipped open to the fourth page, and a bright pink light overwhelmed the orange-red firelight that illuminated this previously dark pa.s.sageway. This lasted only for the briefest of instances, before River and Jodye's figures were totally swallowed in the flame.

However, at this moment a message appeared in Jodye's mind as his remaining origin energy depleted by more than half.

[Emergency Summon]
