Supreme Origin: Time King

Chapter 106: XVII Strange Book

Taking Keith and Luna outside the village, Elijah walked towards a small mountain before dropping Keith and Luna.

Before the mountain, Elijah raised his fist and gave several punches opening to a small cave where he left his two unconscious friends.

Taking a paper out his smartphone spatial storage, Elijah wrote a message telling them to meet him at the Polaris City. After he left his message, Elijah walked back to the village. Finding himself a spot, Elijah positioned himself on the same way as the villagers and closed his eyes to look like he was one of the affected in the battle.

A few minutes later, the villagers started to wake up one by one and they were terrified by the pile of bodies of all members of the blood dragon tribe. Of course, for the villagers who were all at least on the third realm like the kids in the village or in the fourth and fifth realm as the elders, they were not scared by the bodies as at least every single one of them had killed before, but what they feared was the expert who just killed twenty mercenaries at the fifth realm.

Zigan was also awake as he run through the bodies spread around the entire village searching for someone until he finds an unconscious boy on the ground. Seeing him, he gave a sigh of relief before his thoughts were directed to the massacre that happened just before.

How could, someone kill so many fifth realm cultivators? Zigan thought before noticing most of the bodies had no signs of fighting back their killer. Then trying to remember the face of the man who he saw fighting the mercenaries, he could not remember his face no matter what he tried.

Then he head a noise beside him and saw that Elijah was already awake.

"Mister Zigan, What just happened?" Elijah asked the squad leader with eyes full of innocence as if he did not know what he did hours before this.

"I don't know, some expert invaded the city and killed everyone who was part of the blood dragons. I can not remember his face, but I think it may be some of their rivals of another mercenary tribe. Let's talk with the village chief before leaving." Seeing the way the old squad leader responded, Elijah eyes showed a glint of delight as he thought to himself before following Zigan like a angel that could never do evil. 'Good, the spell master has given me worked, now no one can remember it was me who did all of this.'

Following Zigan to meet a middle aged woman. "Village Chief Lianna, I don't think it was a common cultivator who did this. I think that only a Illusion Expert with a high level fifth-grade Illusion technique. When I return to the city I will report the city lord about this... event. Also I would to introduce Elijah, he just came from the monolith and I'm taking to the city."

"Hello Village Chief, I'm Elijah from the house of Branches on the star 36A. It is nice to meet you." Elijah knelt down on one knee while giving a light kiss on the Village Chief left hand.

Lianna eyes shined upon seeing Elijah's gentleman manner, she giggled as she said with a flirting voice. "Heehee, what a elegant young man you brought with you Zigan, and he is so handsome too. If he continues to act like this I can even kick my husband out the village and have this boy stay with me." Elijah's body was visibly quivering when he heard that, but he feign ignorance of what he just heard and stayed on the side hearing their conversation.

Three hours later, Elijah and Zigan departed the Line Village while carrying a one sack of grain and one of meat. In the meanwhile, Elijah would gaze at the direction of the mountain he left Luna and Keith while he suddenly spat a mouthful of blood while feeling the sensation of collapse emerging from within him. 'Shit, this is because I used the power of the three energies at the same time?'

Elijah gathered all his strength to not fall as one of the three bodies standing before the golden gate inside his soul. Elijah's Mortal Body glowed with golden vital power as it was send to help him.

"Are you okay?" seeing Elijah was acting strange, Zigan could not help but ask if he was okay.

"Of course, let's get going."

...

In a lake surrounded by multicolored trees, a woman was static, looking at the lake as a figure covered in black scales with the form of a man and the head of a dragon walked through the trees towards her. This figure had two shining golden spheres in his eyes full of an ominous glow.

Kneeling towards the woman, he said, in a voice full of adoration while looking below as he did not dare to look straight at her: "Milady, we received the news that the small group of 20 Mortal Will fighters we sent to collect the taxes on Kine Village was decimated by an expert in illusions that not only made everyone unconscious while he killed our brothers as he also wiped the villagers memories about his face. We also don't know who did this or why he did this."

To his words, the woman only snorted. "To think there is someone so stupid to threat my domain. You said Illusion, right? It must be one of the close tribes, the Three Eyed Monarch's tribe. Only his men could have so powerful illusions to make an entire village like this. Also don't kill the villagers, just rise the taxes by 20% and it's fine. Don't forged the time is coming closer"

The figure hesitated for a few moments before continuing. "I understand, but there is another thing I have come to say. An strange book has fallen in the middle of the A-rank region's Citadel, several clans are fighting for it, including your family milady. Your family send the message telling the news that your grandfather, the Citadel's future successor, had his body disintegrate the moment he tried to read the book. After his death no one has tried to open the book as if this book had the power to kill a fake Immortal like milady's grandfather, what else could it kill."
