Chapter 157 - The Time Came Before

While he was pondering over it he felt a sudden tremor in his heart. It was not like the earlier times where he got crushed and felt a heart quake. This time it was something different. It felt as if he lost many of his beloved ones at once.

He abruptly opened his eyes and looked towards the sky above him. Tears gushed out from his eyes. For some unknown reason, his heart was in sorrow at that time.

Not only Aryan, but even Yui and the four chaos beasts felt the same. Inside his soul sea, they too were dropping tears in sorrow. The pain of losing someone was wailing inside them.

All of them had the same question, "What happened? And why are we crying?"

Aryan wiped down his tears and tried to calm himself down, but no matter what he tried, his tears didn't stop.

After some efforts, he somehow managed to stop his ears and managed his composure. He stood up suddenly and asked, "Yui, what's that ancient ghost doing right now?"

"Master, he is trying to summon someone, by providing your classmates as a sacrifice."

"Oh~~!! Let's go then. I don't have any wish to stay here any further."

Before Yui asked why the sudden change of mood, Aryan undid his invisibility spell and went to confront the ancient ghost.

The moment he came out of invisibility, the ancient ghost felt his presence and turned around with a grin.

"Kek, kek, kek. So, you finally showed yourself?!! Kek! How do you want to die by…" before the ancient ghost said something Slash!!

Aryan waved his hand and cut a wing of the ancient ghost like a piece of butter.

The ancient ghost saw his wing detached from his body and fell down on the ground. No reaction, no screech, nor any rage was found on his face.

It was not like he wasn't angry, but things happened so fast that even his brain hadn't gotten the signal of feeling the pain.

Splurt!!

Blood came out flowing from his side. He started feeling the pain, his brain started to send him signals of retreating from there. But none of these were visible on his face.

He was already frozen in his place. He could see his death coming, and to his misery, he didn't even have the courage to escape.

Why?!!

Because the person before him was not the same kid anymore. The person before him was a teen in a pink overcoat and a magical halo behind him.

Seven characters representing the seven powers of the eighth sage were engraved on it. Not only that but also the Grimoire of the 8th sage was hovering outside his soul sea and turning out pages rapidly.

The body had a sharp face and fierce eyes. Eye color was not visible anymore, as his eyes were shining yellow at that time.

The person before standing before him and the person who was before him some minutes ago were completely different now. Both of them were the same Aryan, but the vibe, power, and growth were completely different.

"Wh….Who are you??" he asked with difficulty after mustering some courage.

"You are not worthy to know," said the figure before him. His voice was as calm as nature, but under it was hidden a wrath. The wrath of an 8th sage. Enough to destroy a world.

He knew he would die soon, and he didn't even have a chance of survival. Even then he made a last effort.

"You damn kid, you think you can escape from my Miniature World after killing…" before he completed his line, Slash! Slash!! Slash!!

Three marks were already there. And this time he was dead for sure. One cut through his ghost body, the second attack broke his core, and the last one was a final blow.

He couldn't even get a chance to defend himself. It was a complete one-sided fight.

Even though his opponent died and was about to disappear, not a single bit of happiness was found on his face. All this time he was staring at something towards the blue vast sky.

The ancient ghost was disappearing slowly, all his body parts were fading out and the last thing remaining was his head. He wanted to curse something before disappearing from the world. But then he saw something that created chaos in his mind.

The person who killed him, the person standing before him, the person who was emitting virtuous radiance was crying before his eyes.

'What the hell is wrong with this kid?!!' was the last thought of his mind before he disappeared completely from that world. 

The ancient ghost was not in existence, not anymore. The last three attacks of Aryan sent him straight to the cycle of rebirth and gave him a chance to start a new life and create new memories.

The moment the last part of his body disappeared, the surroundings began to glow. Aryan was dazed by the light and closed his eyes.

The next time when he opened his eyes, he found himself in the dark basement of the mansion. Since he got a sudden increase in his height he was feeling uncomfortable by seeing things from a higher place.

But soon he got used to it and looked around at his surroundings. In a corner of the house, he found all his friends lying unconscious and having a nice nap.

He moved them all to the living room of the mansion and laid Nagisa with them. Till then his eyes were red. His heart was throbbing and was telling him something was wrong. Something was not correct.

Since the ancient ghost was already dead, the door to the outside was opened. Aryan opened the door and exited the mansion, leaving his friends behind.

Since he had erected a barrier around the mansion before going inside the view of the outside was not visible. Aryan crossed the small forest and reached towards the wall of the barrier. Just with a touch of his hand, the barrier started to disappear and started showing the view of the outside.

Aryan eyes became wide opened when the barrier completely disappeared and the outside view became clear.

Red sky, crimson red suns. Broken trees, ruined buildings. Fire, fire everywhere.

Not a single life was present. Since Aryan had a sudden hike in his growth and power his brain became capable of multitasking and wee doing many things at once.

He was trying to use his divine sense to scan half of the planet. Trying to establish telepathy with all of his family members and at the same time thinking of a reason for the scene before him.

Just after a minute, the results came out and were something completely shocking for Aryan.

First, he couldn't establish telepathy with any of his parents and relatives. Second, not a single life was present in half of the planet that he scanned. And third, no matter what, he couldn't think of a reason that may have done all these things.

As much as he knew his parents and Sir Jean's family were the strongest ones on earth and were known throughout the universe for their power and knowledge.

"Then what in the world happened that I can't find them anymore?!' pondered Aryan.

Deep in his heart he knew what happened to them, after scanning the other part of the planet with his divine sense, but was trying to deny that possibility and think of an alternate answer.

Till then Yui had already scanned the space around Aryan and even got the results that showed something was wrong in the flow of time and space. But she didn't tell him anything before confirming some other doubts that she had in mind.

Seeing Yui was keeping quiet, he became impatient and started levitating in the air.

Zwap!!

This time he was instantly transferred from the school field to a place before his mansion without even using the Swap technique like before.

Once again, the views before his eyes completely shattered his heart to pieces. The mighty Kalinga Mansion, the pride of the Aizawa's was not there anymore.

All he could see before his eyes were the broken pieces of the mansion, a huge pile of debris, and nothing more.

Even the trees were uprooted and some were burnt to ashes. After seeing the destruction of his home. He landed down from the sky and took steps towards the mansion.

Tears started gushing from his eyes, and this time they were flowing in a heavier flow than before. Aryan wasn't even caring about the tears and kept on walking towards the mansion.

After covering some distance, he reached the place where the main door of the house was fitted.

He entered that ruined place and looked around everywhere, every room, every corner. Not a single place was spared from searching.

Aryan was getting frustrated, his heart was wailing up. Emotions were overflowing inside him.

A single trigger was needed to let them out
