The King of the Sword King
The Middle of the Walapra Desert

  That morning the sun had appeared in the eastern part, and one large winged creature was seen flying through the sky, crossing the Southern Willow Forest with the aim of Peace City. Sima Yong and his two followers, Mismaya and Teci the Griffin.

In accordance with the map directives Sima Yong got from Appoloin Tianwan, the estimated time to reach the City of Peace was one day and two nights.

   Previously Appoloin also explained that, when later passing through the huge Willow Forest, at midnight they will meet the edge of the Walapra Desert.

   The Walapra Desert is a barren desert, with nothing but mysterious ferocious creatures, which often confront travelers or merchants heading for the City of Peace from Biramaki City, or vice-versa. Sometimes there were some traders from small tribes or small clans who lived close to Biramaki City or settled on the border of the Walapra Desert.

   Appoloin Tianwan had warned Sima Yong that he would be careful during the trip. It is said that there are creatures like demons that usually ensnare the travelers who pass in the Walapra Desert, to rob merchandise, money elixir and eat the victims.

   Some gave the bird news that the robbers were a group of zombies who liked to eat corpses after killing victims. But the second version, which refutes the claim that the robbers are Zombies, says that the real culprits in the Walapra Desert are the Ghouls, it is one of the four major clans in the City of Peace.

   The reason that so many accuse the Ghoul Lah Clan of robbing and eating the nomads is, the fact that zombies are the undead themselves that are originally from the human race, while in this Realm the existence of groups or clans of the human race did not exist at all. Even if there is, it is just a coincidence of tourists like Sima Yong for example.

   It is said that the Ghoul Clan is a group of its own which is a group of demons or demons who managed to transform have a physical body, and then choose to stay in this Realm together with other magical creatures.

Many stories explain that the Ghoul Clan is actually a descendant of the demons themselves or called demon children. Reportedly they practice black magic and eat small children and hunt in the cemetery area to eat new corpses in the cemetery, in order to improve their black magic.

   Unlike the demon race that existed in the Silver Continent, these Ghouls as demon children had the ability to create great illusions, and transform themselves into various kinds of forest beasts, as well, then deceive the refugees and carry out their evil actions, by robbing and then consuming victims. This ghoul is synonymous with greedy and greedy creatures.

   As night fell, Sima Yong stood on the back of the Griffin that was flying steadily through the forest of South Willow. The dark-colored youngster's robe was so, it fluttered in the wind, and he seemed to be fused with an ink-sealed night, as if he was part of the darkness itself.

   Sima Yong himself was currently not as visible as he usually was. He changed his appearance from a beautiful young man, to a grown man - using the Kaku Kaku the Bijuu legacy Clay artifact, he said, so when his appearance turned into a clean-faced forty-year-old man in dark-colored clothes, he looked natural according to his disguise age - looking very different from usual.  

   The refinement of the new technique from Mr. Songshu's copy of the loot technique, made his appearance look natural as a grown man, while Mismaya also transformed him into a little boy in a dark oversized suit.

   Early on Mismaya objected when she was about to be transformed into a boy, but Sima Yong strictly forbade her.

"But young master, can't you turn this little Mismaya into an ordinary simple girl? I'm uncomfortable and less adept at having to play and act like a boy....

   I have to have my headband covered all the time if I really have to be a boy" Mismaya said, stroking her fine hair. He hoped that by putting on a face of pity, his young master would be moved and obey his wishes.

   But the fairy girl had to swallow disappointment when her young master did not approve of her to remain as a girl.

"Don't you remember? In this realm even the wind can speak. Since our journey is thousands of lie away from your Fairy Clan, isn't there already too much information regarding who I am and who my followers are on this journey?

  Mr. Songshu does have a very good nudging technique. And you should be grateful. Your disguise is so perfect, and the risk of you being targeted by the enemy is now a small risk" Sima Yong said. 

   Whimpering and curling his tongue Mismaya gave up and obeyed the words of her young master.

"Master Teci himself will I turn into another bird race.

   Remember that..! there are still three highly capable opponents we will face later. The second Nio-nio Nekomata, the fifth Madam Hokou, was a highly skilled practitioner, before we met their leader Yamato" he said..

"I don't want you to be wretched for nothing by those two Nekomata and Hokou. It is said that they are the true element-controlling members of the Bijuu. Lord Benefactor, Mr. Songshi it is nothing compared to the two I mentioned earlier.

   Their ability to control elements can even lead to natural disasters when they go berserk" Sima Yong said.

   Perhaps because he was reminded again of the previous ability of Bijuu-buku, Mismaya was instantly silent. He knew very well what Nekomata and Hokou meant. Experts who have the power of the element's controlling chakra, is not something that can be considered playful.

   Night flying over the Walapra Desert, the air felt very cold to the bone. The extreme temperature of a desert is like that. The day became hot and was able to boil water, but the night was so cold as if it could make water ice.

  As far as the eye can see only darkness, and only the occasional stretch of sand glistens when the flickers of stars or the moon are reflected off, making the desert look like a tapestry made of pearly grains.

   Sima Yong sat cultivating on Griffin's back, not bothered at all by the wind or cold that felt tearing at the skin. Mismaya was busy licking the Red Bee Honey they bought from the Bear Clan City. Occasionally the fairy girl seduced Mr. Teci by offering the honey, but only a cold snort was obtained in response from Mr. Teci the Griffin.

   When Mismaya still teases Teci with the sweet liquid, Teci annoyed, yelling,

"Go there ! I don't like that sweet food. Look at you, it doesn't take too long for your body to become a bully, because it always licks sweet foods like that" Teci said with disdain.

   Mismaya put on a cloudy face, because no one accompanied her to chat. The wind was blowing fiercely, and the air was getting colder. There was a faint sound of one voice shouting..

"Please !"

   Teci instantly sharpened his ears and gaze. He looked around to find out where the screams came from.

"Help me ! There's a scavenger demon !"  that voice sounded desperate.
