Chapter 21: Fate
"Someone's coming." At that moment, Sasha suddenly spoke, "He should wake up soon; it's time for us to leave."
Shortly after Sasha and Freya left, there were indeed people approaching three youth, two guys, and one girl.
"Brother, there's someone here who's fainted." The girl, upon discovering the unconscious Kritos, took out a flask of water from her belongings and fed him a mouthful of water.
"Rinky just ahead of us is Rewa city. Let's not find needless trouble. We'll rest here for a day before proceeding." One of the purple dress-worn youths, who was fully covered in dust, stated. In order to rush to the Royal Capital, he'd already ridden to death a few horses, and right now, he was preparing to enter the Rewa City in order to purchase better horses before traveling again.
"You're awake." Riya broke into a gentle smile as she discovered that Kritos had awoken.
Kritos sat up and, other than discovering the fact that his body only had a minimal amount of strength, found that he was basically fine. Not only that, he felt as if he'd even broken through, and had stepped into the peak mortal stage realm, just a step away from Rank one apprentice physique warrior. However, there wasn't the slightest bit of energy within him currently. Luckily, he had broken through his limit and had regained consciousness.
Although, he didn't know that the reason for him breaking through to the peak mortal stage realm was actually because of the pill that had been fed to him by Sasha. That was also the reason behind his rapid recovery. If it weren't for that pill, his body would need at least another one to two weeks before it could fully recover.
"Thank you for saving me." Kritos thanked the youthful female. It was undeniable that this was a case of mistaken identity.
"No problem, it was just a simple matter," Rinky smiled.
"Rinky, it's time for us to leave." The voice of one of the youths drifted.
"Okay." Rinky replied as she said to Kritos, " Since you're already awake, I should get going. My name is Rinky Mathur. If there's a chance, let us meet again in the future."
After saying that, an adorable smile broke out on the face of Rinky before she turned and left.
"My name is Kritos."
Standing up, Kritos walked out. Only to see Rinky waving bye to him.
Kritos thought drifted when he saw the youth besides Rinky, who was the same age as him.
"Amongst my peers, It seems like I am the weakest, What an awful life." Kritos sighed.
Kritos bitterly smiled as he sat down cross-legged. He desperately wanted to know the current state of his body.
The human body was a vessel that was capable of storing Mystical Energies the higher the cultivation realm, the more Energy the body could contain. The apprentice Realm consisted of using the different Energy, depending on which path you have taken, to temper one's four limbs, soul, and bone structure, to increase one's strength; after the cultivator stepped into the Foundation Realm, he could fully stimulate his body's meridians, and tap into his potential. He could clear the pathways of his meridians and energy channels, store Energy within all of the Chakra points in his body, and hence, be capable of emitting immense power during battle.
Generally, there are three paths someone can take, but there are some Demon level geniuses who cultivate both the way( warrior path and mage path) and in some rare cases where one nurtures both body and soul. ( Body and soul cultivation ) .But, Cultivating like this makes your progress slow and extremely difficult to overcome your limits.
Most important were they capable enough to purchase or obtain precious resources.
Not everyone was born with a silver or gold spoon.
As he checked his body, a smile emerges on his face, "Haha, those who try hard, never fail,"
While far off in the forest approx five kilometers, two pairs of eyes were currently observing Kritos from the air they were none other than Sasha and Freya.
"Okay, we've confirmed his safety. However, it seems as though he thought that the one who saved him was the girl earlier. Do you want to reveal yourself and set the facts straight?" Freya laughed as she looked towards Sasha.
"Let's leave." Sasha smiled as she turned and departed.
"Hey, let's tell him our tenderness or someone would take our good karma," Freya said while fluttering her wings.
"If you need some good karma, you are free to tell him about how you saved him," Sasha chuckled.
"Boring, I don't need someone else, Karma."
With a flight, Freya leaves the forest.
"Hey, wait for me," Sasha said.
******
"But, I think I have seen a girl with beautiful wings on her back before losing consciousness,"
After some moment later, he said," Maybe it was a dream or my imagination,"
As he frequently had a dream or, more accurately, nightmares, which looks almost real. Kritos did not easily believe something like that.
How can a human have butterfly wings on its back? He never saw or ever heard something like this from anyone.
Kritos sat on the tree branch and said," System, let's finish our unfinished work,"
"Talent creation"
But suddenly he thought," It's better to do this at home or else who knows another bastard comes to disturb me,"
With an ambition in his mind, he walks towards his clan while singing a song,
{Author note: You can skip that part if you don't like it}
"I was passing through the jungle."
"I was eating an apple."
"I was whistling around."
"Suddenly, I saw a boar group."
"What can I do if they love my apple."
---------
"I'll run away with the apple in my hand."
"How can I tell you what all tricks they apply to get it."
"I haven't killed anyone."
"I've never stabbed a knife in the heart of some innocent boar."
"I'm a joker in the circus of the world."
I dance, I sing
I entertain you
"What can I do if you don't know how to dance."
Even after going through many life and death situations, something never changes, and that was Kritos personality.
