246 Tribulation Part-5

Nuwa dashed towards the charred figure fast followed by others, Maheswara eyes looked dull it was the second time he had witness someone close to him die, it was the second time his 'son' had ceased to exist.

As they neared Nuwa gasped as she quickly turned the charred mass which turned out to Ryuu wrapped in the prayer mat, they sighed in relief at that it seemed that Ryuu has fainted as Nuwa touched him her calm visage suddenly turned to panic as she spoke, "He is dying, the lightning has shorted his nervous system."

No sooner did she say that, Sylvana who quickly took out her rapier and stabbed it through Ryuu startling everyone as he was impaled to the ground and before anyone could say anything she send a short lightning burst later she spoke with a sigh, "Done I have grounded him and dispersed the extra lightning mother.", as she once again stored her weapon.

Veena quickly started working her magic and with a few minutes Ryuu's life was out of danger, she turned towards Sylvana as she spoke with a smile, "That was incredible quick thinking child, you handled the situation with the easiest and safest possible way, now Ryuu simply needs some rest and he would be as healthy as he was before."

Neacht frowned as she spoke, "Aunty what had happened?"

Veena, "Well the excess lightning from the tribulation when it enterd his body it splintered and latched into his nervous system along with various organs in his body which in turn caused his nervous system to go haywire which resulted in his organs to stop working, Sylvana simply grounded Ryuu's body getting rid of the excess charge, and I just restarted them and made them work properly."

Nuwa smiled as she spoke, "Well we believe we should start preparing for the feast then.", before she turned towards both Neacht and Milena as she spoke, "We hope you two honor us by being present during the feast."

Neacht gave a small bow as Milena spoke with a smile, "Of course aunty we would love to attend."

Unknown to them a figure was watching the entire interaction as one thought passed through the person's mind, 'Pathetic, so pathetic what kind of disgrace did they raise who would die because of a simple tribulation simply pathetic more so are that child's teachers, I think I should pay a visit to him hmmm yes, yes I might be able to give him the push needed to reach his full potential.'

A few hours later the group was back in Ayindril, Ryuu was still asleep with Veena keeping an eye on him, Antarriskh and Shamiran were keeping their guest company, while Nuwa herself was busy preparing the feast whereas Celestia was busy poking and prodding Ryuu's prayer mat, she did not know why or how but it managed to protect Ryuu and she did not like unknown.

Ryuu opened his eyes which he closed immediately because of harsh lightning he groaned as he spoke, "Someone please close the windows."

A voice came from his side, "Apologies child", it followed by sound of drawing of a curtain as the light of the room finally dimmed enough as Ryuu opened his eyes as he glanced at the smiling visage of Veena who simply hugged him as she spoke, "Congratulations child, you are an Immortal from now on as well as finally you have become a true cultivator."

Ryuu's widen at that as smile blossomed on his face as he spoke, "I did it, I am finally an Immortal."

Veena simply tousled his hair as she spoke, "Well since you are awake already let us leave, others are waiting for you and Nuwa has already prepared a feast for you.", she finished while sending a wink towards Ryuu who drooled visibly at what he heard.

Ryuu simply shook her head as he spoke, "Teacher if you do not mind, but I would like to….".

Veena spoke with a smile, "Well then run along child, you should not keep your mother waiting."

Ryuu gave a grateful smile before he ran towards his mother's mausoleum where her ashes were kept.

Veena sighed as she made her way towards where her other children were present.

Meanwhile Sylvana was speaking with her father, "Child what is wrong?"

Maheswara: "What is wrong child?"

Sylvana sighed as she spoke, "Today I stabbed Ryuu without hesitation."

Maheswara sighed as he spoke, "Sylvana I know but that stab saved his life did it not, I am proud of your quick thinking child, so why are so glum?"

Sylvana looked down as she spoke, "I stabbed him father without any hesitation, what if I will be one who caused his death what if I am the whom senior mentioned when she told Ryuu's fortune, I do not know what to do I do not want to be cause of another of my brother's death."

Maheswara sighed as he placed his hands on Sylvana's cheek as he spoke, "Look at me Sylvana, what happened to Pangu was all, everyone of ours fault and what happened to Ryuu has not yet come to pass but I know you will never harm him because you saved his life today before anyone of us could react you did it without any hesitation as such I know you will always protect him but as far as the prophecy goes, well future is always changing and we will change Ryuu's whoever that person is we will hunt him or her down, now child will you have your brother's back." Sylvana nodded at that with tears in her eyes as Maheswara simply embraced her comforting her.

Ryuu stood in front of the mausoleum which held both his mother and aunt's memorial statue he stood in front of them as he spoke, "Mommy, Aunt Zhu Zhu it has been a while since I spoke to you, and I came here today to give you good news, Mom and Aunty from today onwards your child is an Immortal, I did it I finally managed to reach the Immortal realm 2 months before my 16th day of birth. I hope wherever you are, you would be happy to know about how your child has broken the records set by my teachers children by a good few months, I wish you could watch me today I survived a full set of tribulation and even received the 'Blessings of Heavens'. I would not lie to you it was scary I had barely reached the peak of Void Immortal then within three days and I prevailed and now according to my master I have finally earned the right to be call myself a cultivator. Teacher tells me you two are always watching over me so watch over me a little longer and I will surely one day stand at the top of the cultivation world."

Ryuu felt his vision to get hazy he touched his face as he found water dripping from them he was crying he hastily wiped it clean, he did not want anyone to think him of as a cry baby he gave a last bow before he left.

As Ryuu made his way towards his masters' house he was greeted by Antariskh who spoke, "Ah there you are Ryuu, come on everyone is waiting."

Ryuu nodded at that as Shamiran spoke with faux angry glare, "I am angry with you Ryuu, how dare you break our record."

Ryuu showed his maturity by sticking his tongue out at her, as Shamiran spoke, "You good for nothing child come here and I will show why you should never stick your tongue at me."

Ryuu laughed as he started to run closely followed by Shamiran while Neacht and Milena shrugged at each other before they followed after Shamiran leaving Antariskh alone simply giggling at their antics.
