The Moonlight Swordsman



So how are we going to travel that far? Teleportation?" Aizel thought.

[That is possible, Master]

*SKREEEEEEEE*

*SKREEEEEEEE* *SKREEEEEEEE*

*SKREEEEEEEE*

*SKREEEEEEEE*

.....

A sudden commotion filled the air, drawing the attention of all present. Aizel's eyes were automatically drawn to the sky, where he saw a fascinating scene. 

Majestic griffins, their massive wings gracefully cutting through the air, descended from the heavens with an awe-inspiring presence. 

One by one, the huge beasts landed on the ground, and their strong claws dug into the ground.  Their grandeur and mythical air made a lasting impact on everyone who saw them.

"The Royal Griffins are really something else," Raven commented.

"EVERYONE..."

"Three people can ride on one griffin. Whoever you want to travel with, you may go and choose your griffin," Sword Emperor said.

Without a moment's hesitation, Aizel's instincts took over. 

He held Daisy's hand firmly and led her to the majestic griffin he had picked out. As they approached the majestic creature, their eyes locked in a captivating gaze.

Aizel moved his hand slowly and carefully, and his fingers reached out to touch the griffin's dark, shiny hair. 

In response to his touch, the griffin gracefully inclined its head, allowing Aizel to caress its velvety black hair with a tender touch.

"I knew you would go for this one," Daisy said.

Aizel only smiled after hearing that.

"Shall we?" he asked.

Daisy nodded. With a gentle breeze, she floated and sat on the back of the Griffin. She did the same with Aizel and made him sit on the back side.

"We still need one more person," She said.

I have a bad feeling about this," Aizel thought.

"We meet again, kid. I will be traveling with you both," Ashlyn said as she slowly floated and sat in front of them.

Daisy moved a little back and got closer to Aizel.

"I am not going to eat you, lady."

"You could travel with someone else," Aizel said.

"The Kings Order,"

*Tsk*

*SKREEEEE*

*SKREEEEE*

*SKREEEEE*....

The griffins all spread their beautiful wings at the same time and lifted off the ground in a fluid way. The powerful beats of their wings propelled them higher and higher into the vast sky.

Aizel, Daisy, and Ashlyn felt a gentle pull as their griffin soared through the air, swiftly navigating the currents with its agile flight.

"This is fun," Daisy said.

"Yes, it is," Aizel replied. 

"Are you both riding on a Griffin for the first time?" Ashlyn asked, moving her hair from her face.

"Yes," Both of them replied.

"How much time do you think it will take us to reach it?" Aizel asked.

"Probably a week or more," 

"It is going to get boring after some time."

As he peered down from his lofty vantage point, the thrilling breeze carried Aizel's black hair. 

He saw a mesmerizing sight: ethereal clouds floating elegantly across the blue sky, making patterns that kept changing.

Below, the majestic lands and towering mountains unfolded like a tapestry, their features shifting with each passing moment.

"I know everything about you now," Ashlyn said.

"I read all the reports, and it seems you really made some name for yourself. Now I am 100% sure that you have a way to speed up the process of the spirit weapon."

"How many times do I have to tell you? I don't have any method like that."

"You love this girl, don't you?" Suddenly, Ashlyn asked.

Aizel stared at Ashlyn for a second and said, "Yes, I love her."

"So could you swear in the name of your love? That you don't have any method."

[This fucking bitch is playing with you, Master. Now you can't even deny it. Ultimately, you have boosted my growth because of your unique power]

Daisy looked toward Aizel with a worried expression.

"I have boosted my spirit weapon growth, but I can't do it for you."

"And why is that?"

"Because it will only work on me. Think of it like a special ability or something," Aizel replied.

"So there is no other way?" Ashlyn asked.

[Master, do you think we can use her somehow?]

That's what I am trying to think right now."

"I might have a way, but it will take a lot of time for that," Aizel replied.

"How much and how?" She asked.

"But I won't do it,"

"So you want something from me? I kind of expected that. State your price."

"I can't think of anything right now," Aizel replied and shrugged his shoulders.

Ashlyn stared at him for a second and then said again, "I will do anything or give you anything you want if you will help me with my spirit weapon.

"It's good enough, right?"

"Why are you so desperate for it?" Aizel asked.

"The weapon is very close to me. There are some deeds I would like to do together with it, but I can't do them for now." She replied with a plain expression.

Seeing her face, Soren's face flashed by in Aizel's mind.

"Don't get your hopes too high. 

"First, I don't know how much I need my power to grow for this task.

"Second, I don't trust you."

"Third, whatever my request will be If I decide to help, you have to accept it. We will create a soul bond for it, just to be on the safe side."

"You are even worse than what the report says."

[fufu darling, you haven't seen anything yet]

"Okay, I will wait patiently till then. I hope you won't die in the tournament." Ashlyn replied.

"Hmm"

Ashlyn suddenly called out a variety of foods from the depths of her storage ring. She made a spread of mouth-watering treats, their enticing aromas wafting through the air.

As the griffin soared through the skies, Ashlyn indulged in the feast before her, savoring each bite.

"Do yuu guuys need sommthinn?" She asked; her mouth was stuffed with seafood.

"No, but thank you for asking," Daisy replied with a smile.

Meanwhile, Aizel stared at her with his brows raised.

They both are way too similar."

[Who do you think will win in a food-eating competition, This green-haired bitch or pinky?]

Pinky? hahahahaha"
