Light Emperor
The Phoenix

Bivades regained his consciousness, now he was in a very dark place. A place that felt so foreign to him. He slowly realized that he was in his subconscious.

Bivades then wandered without direction through the place in hopes of finding a speck of light that could take him out of the place.

"What light is that?" Bivades saw a speck of blue light from a distance out of curiosity as he ran towards that spot of light.

After running for a long time, Bivades now arrives in front of an iron prison that separates him and the point of light.

With a breath of breath, Bivades walked up to the prison and intended to open it.

When his hand touched the prison iron pillar, an extremely bright blue light appeared suddenly in front of him. Apparently the point of light he saw was his own spirit beast, the Phoenix.

"I know your intention to come here to Bivades, we've been together a long time before. I didn't expect you to end up like this" As if knowing the intentions of the Bivades, Phoenix said softly, but a tense expression appeared on his face.

Bivades lowered his head and bit his teeth at each other then said as he shed tears from his face.

"From the beginning I was very sad even to the end of my life. I can't even take good care of Adelio. Let alone taking revenge on Lypinos, the difference in strength was too far away"

"Yes, in the end we'll split up too. I can guess what you're thinking now. You'll definitely ask me to look after Adelio while you're gone. That's troublesome"

"You already know the looks. There's nothing I can expect other than you to look after Adelio. Therefore I plead with you" Bivades kowtowed and pleaded with Phoenix while crying.

"Well, what can I do, I want to see the child's development myself"

"Thank you Phoenix, please take care of Adelio help him avenge Fotia!!!"

Right after saying that, Bivades regained consciousness from his stupor and was now right before his eyes. Lanara was already in front of him with a sword being drawn on top of her head.

The memory of his childhood with his mother suddenly crossed his mind.

He was suddenly in front of a small house he seemed to recognize. Suddenly a little boy opened the door from the house followed by his mother. The two people though lived in a seedy place, but happiness was evident from the smiles of their faces.

Bivades with a gloomy face looked at the child cynically. He realized the child was himself and the mother behind him was his mother.

The boy ran away from his mother and circled back to his mother, but suddenly the boy turned into an adult with tears dripping from his face, he ran with emotion kicking the door of his house to the back.

Seeing the boy who was none other than himself, Bivades' eyes opened as if to come out. He recalled something about his origin.

While running, Bivades followed the boy all the way inside. His face froze at the sight of the child crying beside his mother lying in bed, closing her eyes. My mother's face looked very pale.

Bivades then focused his gaze on a painting located on the table right next to the mother's mattress. There is a painting of a man in a harness with an eight-year-old child and a woman who looks the same as the mother.

"It was me then my mother and my father who died from the war" Bivades muttered as he recalled his past. Suddenly, without realizing that tears had already hatched from his face, Bivades raised his hand to wipe his tears.

"What is this???" Bivades was very surprised, suddenly the place around him turned into a straight path with a very thick forest around him. He's in the middle of the road.

"Hik .. hik .. hi. hik"

Hearing the horse's voice, Bivades suddenly set his sights on the direction of the voice. He saw a horse carriage with several horsemen armed with spears walking towards him.

In Bivades's mind they could not see him, he ran over to one of the horsemen and touched his horse. His face instantly froze as his hands could pierce through the horse's body.

"You all stop!!!" there appeared some people in black robes wearing masks on their faces blocking the horse carriage that wanted to pass through the road.

"Who are you?" one of the horsemen came forward to approach the masked man followed by the other bodyguards.

"Give us all the treasure you have brought" The masked man drew the black sword from his hand and thrust it to the ground.

Suddenly a translucent black dome was formed around the bodyguards that prevented them from approaching the masked man.

"Damn it!!!, get us out of here!!!" one of the bodyguards shouted in annoyance at not being able to pass through the black dome.

"Mahaha ... We'll get you out if we manage to snatch the treasure inside the carriage" While walking leisurely, a few masked men approached the chariot.

The frightened driver jumped off the train and ran away from it.

"What's this commotion?" There was a soft voice of a woman from inside the carriage along with the open door of the carriage.

Bivades who had only been paying attention since earlier, gaped in surprise. He recognized the face of the woman who came out of the carriage.

"Aren't you the queen of the Kingdom of Fotia. Hahahaha..., you must have a lot of treasure in your carriage?"

"If you really want to take it but release my guards!!!"

"You think we're stupid, if we let them go. They will definitely kill us"

"Then get all the treasures on this train and you can get out of here"

"We think we're going to take you too hahahaha.." laughing at the masked person who was at the front, he was their leader.

Bivades' face looked irritated, clenching his hands he ran towards the masked man and hit him, but his efforts were in vain because his punch instead pierced through the masked man's face without giving the slightest injury.

"You bandits stop what you're doing!!!"

All the people in that place turned their eyes towards the origin of the sound.

From behind the masked man appeared a man with a burly body shouting loudly. While pulling the sword hilt from his waist, he challenged the masked man to a duel.

"Who are you?, you're so smart, you think you can beat us?" ask the masked leader in a dismissive tone.

"You've killed and robbed my best friend's life. This time I will not let go of all of you!!!"

"Ohh.., that was yesterday. Just blame him why is he too weak?"

"You!!!!" With a flick of teeth visible from his face, the man advanced. The killing intent seemed from the look on his face.
