“Where is the house he is staying at.”

Shijou felt Zao’s anger as she slowly shifted her head towards him, asking her this question with the coldest tone.

“H- he’s…”

“Let us go.” Tezuka intervened as he stood up and opened the door next to his daughter.

“Will you come along with us, Ryushi?”

“No, Tezuka. Bring him here if everything goes well. I will come when things go wrong.”

[Xy POV]

“Where… Am I…”

Xy’s eyes narrowly opened, and he turned his head from side to side. He found himself in an extraordinary dimension that had the aesthetic of a dark and grim green atmosphere, he lay on the only small piece of surface that stood still in the midst of it, whilst dozens of stone buildings and surfaces fled around throughout the entire place.

At the very front situated a great pillar with the same black sword half-infused inside of it, with two angelic statues standing next to it side by side.

“What is this place?!” Xy exclaimed after he stood up feeling distressed by what he was experiencing.

No need to feel frightened…

“Vadea, is that you?” 

Yes, it is me. Look in front of you.

“What is that sword doing here…?”

The sword is your objective, simply walk on the stairway that leads to it.

“Hmm…”

Xy started walking towards the stairway, this shocked Vadea as she did not expect him to be walking this quickly already.

‘This is unbelievable…’

‘I wanted to tell him that he is not alone there… I have put hundreds of hostile elemental spirits that would kill anyone moving near their field of view.’

‘I have been commanded to do this by Ilnir himself, The Test of Death.’

‘Yet these spirits are not moving at all… He is disintegrating them as he is walking past those spirits...'

'This is not everything, however.'

'His real challenge will happen as soon as he takes his sword.’
