World Terror 50 Chapter 49 Hakuun Updated!

Masako, Hito and the team inside the Nether flame demon domain array were unable to see or hear what was happening outside as the thick layer of Netherflame Dome restrained all their five senses and the spiritual energy. Even Malinda who controlled the array had her 5 senses and spiritual energy restrained as she was busy with monitoring and controlling the array formation, no matter how many conscious and souls helped her, her spiritual strength was still at beginning stage which was not enough for the array of this size so, she could not spare spiritual strength to check what was happening outside.

Not Knowing what was happening outside Masako, Hito and the team were not worried they got back to their work, Masako went to harvest the ingredients from the insect corpse, Hito started to oil the bearings of the wagon wheels and the team got back to practicing. Especially Leon, he went to a corner and started sharpening the Owari no Ken. It was as if they were not hiding in the array and they didn't even know that Sukehime was fending off enemies outside and there is nothing unusual about their current situation.

Clearly they were confident in Sukehime and the thought of Sukehime being defeated never even crossed their mind. Especially James and the group being rookie Terror walkers they should be trembling in fear worrying about the horrors of terror worlds and what it is capable of and should be in a full alert but instead they acted as if they have come for a picnic. That is because they have full confidence and trust in the golden thigh they have held onto, their trust in Sukehime was not a blind faith but a well calculated decision.

Sukehime had many t.i.tles in her lifetime and they were not Just for show or made of rumors. Nations Hero for Sukehimes large Military merits , People's Symbol of Peace for being the strongest in the entire continent and treating all lives equally, be it feudal lord or a peasant they were all same in eyes of Sukehime, Nation's walking Library for the Vast knowledge Sukehime had gathered over the years from all the 7 continents, there was another t.i.tle which was less know by the commoners but well known in the circle of the rich and powerful, World's Wealthiest Woman.

Sukehime even though she focused on increasing her personal strength and knowledge she still was a woman, otherwise she would not choose to change her appearance to look young and vibrant while her original age was around 90 years old. Sukehime like women in the world liked collecting s.h.i.+ny stuff, Sukehime was not an ordinary woman so ordinary gold and silver Jewels did not attract her attention, so the Items that managed to attract her attention were no ordinary Items, some of them were ancient artifacts, some were heavenly treasures. knowing her weakness every year on Sukehime's birthday people from all over the world arrive bearing most expensive gifts to impress Sukehime.

Asides from these gifts Sukehime herself had acc.u.mulated many treasures as the spoils of war, spoils after killing enemies, Ancient tomb robbing, Ruins diving and so on the wealth and treasures acc.u.mulated by Sukehime over the years was immense which was enough for the entire kingdom to flourish for years without working. This was obvious to the Team when each of them received various inheritance and when Sukehime casually used away two G.o.dstones to power an array and hasten the recovery of an unknown girl. With these many treasures and artifacts on her it was near impossible to defeat Sukehime.

In the Original works a legendary bug Character like Sukehime was killed by a bug item like Moon Dew Yin Poison thorn. Except for this poison there was utterly no other way in the Crying Heaven's to defeat Sukehime in a head on fight. Current Old Sukehime is not as strong as the Young Sukehime but the Heavenly treasures on her makeup for the strength she had lost. If not for Sukehime being worried about the safety of Masako and the Innocent inhabitants of Capital she would have totally unleashed her warth on her attackers and ma.s.sacred the 13 allied families. But with old age her wisdom and experience told her not to act in rage and destroy what she fought to build all these years and decided to deal with the 13 families using the forces that have sworn loyalty to her and Crown Masako as the next ruler of the Empire.

So therefore by saving Sukeime, Trisha had achieved something not a single Terror walker achieved or dared to do. If not for her saving Sukehime the team would not be able to get into good grace of Sukehime or have a Golden thigh to hold onto in the first place. Sukehime is a bug overpowered character in Crying heavens which even the author of original works agreed on, he even wanted to create a spin of Crying Heavens based on Sukehime tell her rise to power, if the Crying Heavens were to become a hit.

James and team have not become arrogant having achieved the impossible in the Terror world they were still on alert but just a little less and not too obvious. No matter how powerful their Golden thigh was, she was still a single person and she could not protect them all the time, when it came to choosing between saving either Masako or the team she will definitely prefer to save Masako. Therefore instead of wasting time each of them was practicing hard to Increase their own strength, because their own strength is their best insurance.

................................

Looking at the 12 basketball sized G.o.d Stones floating and circling around Sukehime, the faces of all 34 attackers turned green, Especially Old Man with the gray beard and Hakuun.

Hakuun In order to save Sukehime had paid a huge price, the 13 allied families were adamant on killing Sukehime without mercy but he along with few people in capital that still respected Sukehime and her military achievements made the allied families understand that Sukehime was worth more living than dead. Knowing that the consequence of Sukehime dead may cost them, the Allied forces agreed to give a way out as long as she agreed to their conditions adding that Hakuun and few other Masters should henceforth give their loyalty to the 13 allied families and the 3rd prince no matter Sukehime accepts their or not. Meaning for giving a way out to Sukehime, even if Sukehime does not agree to the emperor's decree, Hakuun and other masters will still be serving the 13 allied families.

Selling his soul and loyalty Hakuun had created a way out for Sukehime but Sukehime had not appreciated it, instead looked down on him making Hakuun angry, angry that he fell in love with such a pitch, angry that he sold his soul for her, even after all these, why does she not she his love for her? Why does she not acknowledge him as her equal? why?! In that movements anger, sadness, pain and regret Hakuun wanted to hurt the person who hurt him badly, he wanted Sukehime to feel the the pain he was feeling, therefore he stopped trying to persuade Sukehime into surrendering and gave the signal to the Old man with the gray beard to finish what they have come to do here. All his regret, pain and anger in that movement made Hakuun choose something that he will not live to regret.

Therefore when he saw the 12 basketball sized G.o.d Stones floating and circling around Sukehime, he suddenly realised all the answer for his pain, regret and anger were right in front of him, he came to know that he was not anger at Sukehime and she was not the reason for his pain and regret, it was him. After all these years He still did not have the courage or the strength to tell her what's in heart, to reveal how he feels about her, Under the pressure of the Sukehime's unparalleled strength, wisdom and beauty feeling unworthy he never had the courage or strength to declare his feelings for her. He just chose to keep them hidden deep inside his heart and when it became unbearably painful he cowardly decided to go far away from her under the lie of going on a journey to find peace. But when he finally realized that Sukehime was not at fault but he was the one at fault it was already too late.

Seeing that Ugly smile of the Old man with the beard ripped and his mouth open wide in shock, Sukehime sneered and said " I Sukehime have been alway know for being just and fair, I will not bully you with my wealth, Instead of 12 I will just use one. Ugh! It will still look like I am bullying you but you can only blame yourself for being these weak and poor. "

11 out of the 12 G.o.d stones floating around Sukehime vanished returning into Sukehime's s.p.a.ce ring and the remaining one landed in her palm and glowed from within.
