All the others removed the wreckage above them and stood up. Akash looked at them and asserted.
"All of you leave, I will take them with to cure them."
Mushkil worriedly asked.
"My King, may I ask where you will take them?"
Akash replied.
"To my world."
Startled, Mushkil inquired once again.
"When will be they back?"
Akash retorted indifferently.
"Never, they are already useless to you. My words may sound harsh but it's the truth, I will take care of them."
Mushkil silently looked at Akash and said after a mont.
"Emperor Daan and his companions are our heroes, they are far more precious to us than any treasure but you are right.
They are only half dead here and we cannot even help them if You can give them a new life, then I don't have any problems. Please take good care of them, saviour."
Mushkil left the room with his companions and ordered everyone to vacate the palace for the ti being.
After they left, Akash asked Sohrab.
"Are you willing to go with ?"
Sohrab replied without any hesitation.
"My King, do you even need to ask? Of course, I will! Our work here is already done. We were all waiting for your arrival since we believed that you would co for us one day. Alas, not all of us were able to survive.
When I heard your voice, I paid no heed to anything else and flew towards the Sacred Arena post haste. Unfortunately, you were not there, so it wasn't until later that I had found out that you were here."
Akash squeezed his eyes.
"Is that Sacred Arena the sa battleground where Daan and Duglu fought in back then?"
"Haha, indeed. It was the place where everything changed, so they nad it as the Sacred Arena and made it a holy place."
Akash smiled and then turned his head towards the two beds.
"Wake them up, I need to ask them too."
Sohrab giggled.
"Hehe, they are of the sa opinion as myself, I can guarantee they won't refuse. Let's give them a surprise."
Akash laughed.
"You haven't really changed, despite your age."
Sohrab laughed back as Akash called for the System in his mind.
"System, how can I take them back?"
*beep*
[The King must open a portal in the inner world that can take them out, just like the King brings out his beasts.]
Akash asked sothing out of curiosity.
"Is Ponytail also here?"
[God Demon Panda is on another planet of your inner world.]
Akash waved his hand and a portal opened, following which, he gestured towards Sohrab.
"Pick them up and enter."
*beep*
[The King must know that once a being is called outside of the inner world, it cannot go back inside no matter what.]
"I never intended to send them back here, to begin with."
Sohrab went towards the portal and then Akash called back his consciousness to his real body in the outside world. After he opened his eyes, he saw that Sohrab was already standing in his chambers, carrying both Daan and Sacra on his shoulders.
Soon after, Sacra woke up and when he found himself in this unfamiliar place, he panicked.
"Hey... who are you? Let down!"
"Stop moving, you crippled idiot! Old Daan is still sleeping."
Sacra rembered this voice. He looked towards the minotaur carrying him.
"Soh... Sohrab!"
Sohrab tilted his head slowly, trying not to hurt Daan with his big horns before looking at Sacra.
"Haha, who else could call you an idiot in the Godlyn Empire."
"I could."
Akash replied.
Sacra was startled once again when he heard this. Curiously, he looked at Akash but couldn't recognize him.
Akash spoke again.
"It's been a while, Zanda."
Sacra's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. He left this na behind when the Godlyn Empire was about to be ford. There was only 1 other person alive who rembered this na.
"Sav... saviour, is that you?"
Akash nodded with a smile.
"Oh, my goodness, you are finally back. I am so happy. Finally I can figh..."
Sacra stopped for a mont but then continued.
"Alas, I am useless now, as you can see. My legs and back no longer function nor do I feel anything from them, I'm a cripple now"
"It's okay. I will cure you."
He looked at Akash in a shock
"You can, saviour?"
"Yes, just wait for Daan to wake up."
"I am already awake, My King."
The sleeping Lion King spoke.
Both Sohrab and Sacra were startled, Akash looked at him unfazed and instructed.
"Put them on the bed."
Sohrab did as he was told.
Daan looked at Akash and tears rolled down his face as he spoke.
"I I couldn't open my eyes in front of you, I am ashad that I'm facing you in this state and feeble body. My King, did you really an it when you said you could cure us?"
Akash replied.
"Yes, I really ant it, Daan. Just do as I say and accept the invitation."
"What invita..."
Daan suddenly heard a voice.
*beep
[You are qualified to be the soldier of Ancestor Law Enforcent, would you like to join?
'YES / NO']
The sa notification and voice went to Sohrab and Sacra as well. Every one of them accepted it.
[Congratulations, Daan Godlyn has beco a soldier of Ancestor Law Enforcent.]
[Congratulations, Sacra Emilat has beco a soldier of Ancestor Law Enforcent.]
[Congratulations, Sohrab Khan has beco a soldier of Ancestor Law Enforcent.]
All three of them got their respective screen notifications. Akash taught them how to equip their cloaks and when they wore them, information flooded their minds. While they were taking it in and learning it all, Akash opened Sohrab's profile, only he was left with an unchecked profile.
[Na: Sohrab Khan
Realm: 3rd Moon, 10th Star
Aptitude: Lower-Common Grade
Learnt Laws: Martial Law, Water Law, Earth Law, Lightning Law]
Akash talked to himself
"Nothing special here as well. Well, No worries, they are trustworthy. I will make them special."
Soon, all of them stared at Akash baffled.
"What was this all information about, My Liege?"
Daan asked Akash Tagar.
Akash replied.
"Follow , I will explain it all to you in a way you can all quickly understand it."
Akash took them to the Ancestor Training Grounds' room. A list of training grounds ca up. He went towards the Silver Grounds because the other three were only ranked for Soldiers. Akash saw a na that caught his attention, Zing Garden.
Akash chose it and then, with a bright flash, all of them vanished from the room, and arrived at the Zing Garden. They opened their eyes and looked at their surroundings.
Everyone's eyes pleased including Akash's as it was quite the fascinating scenery. A joyful and lively jungle, lodious chirping echoing throughout it all.
Near them was a cave hidden behind a waterfall, Akash used his cosmic powers to check what's inside and after confirming that it was fine, beckoned the rest to follow him.
All of them moved, with Daan and Sacra being carried on Sohrab's shoulders. It didn't take long for them to reach the cave. Once inside, Akash looked at Sohrab.
"What type of weapon do you like?"
Sohrab pondered for a bit.
"Sothing that can smash and slash at the sa ti."
Akash Tagar's eyes twitched.
"Just tell directly, I don't have ti for these vague little riddles."
Sohrab chuckled.
"Haha, I am a dual handed warrior. I either take two hamrs or two axes."
Akash smirked and replied.
"How about one axe and one hamr?"
Sohrab gasped.
"What an idea, why haven't I thought of this before?"
"Probably because you don't have a working brain."
Akash brought out an axe and a hamr from his inventory. The axe was huge but seed perfectly fit for the hand of Sohrab. From its knob to its shoulder, it was made of dark brown wood with vein-like roots on it.
The head and cheek of the axe were made of a strange rock, more solid than steel. From toe to heel, the bit of the axe was made of a sharp diamond, shining and sharp.
The hamr's handle was the sa as the axe's, its head and face were made of an unknown brownish-orange marble. Very suitable for smashing the earth apart.
Sohrab Khan was astonished to receive such amazing weapons. Akash rembered how the maker of these, the giant Forest Dragon King was laughing and rolling at that ti.
"Sohrab, these are precious weapons, ant only for those whom I trust. They are not two separate weapons, rather, they are a single weapon comprised of two parts. Its na is Jeeth Subedar. Keep an eye outside and protect the cave until we co out."
Sohrab bowed and complied.
"As you wish, My Liege."
Sohrab went outside, leaving Akash with a crippled Sacra and a disease-stricken Lion King. Akash looked at the forr and stated.
"Your affliction is less severe, so I'll start with you."
Sacra took a deep breath and affird his resolve.
"I'm ready."
"What is your favourite weapon?"
Akash asked Sacra.
Sacra rembered how a few monts ago Sohrab had received a brilliant weapon after being asked the sa thing. He replied without hesitation.
"A long sword."
"Good."
Akash took out a light green gem, the Dwelling Core of the Wind Dragon Queen, and instructed him on the procedure.
"Focus your cosmic energy into your Star Dwelling, don't lose focus or you will burst into pieces. It will take a month, so endure it and you will be able to heal yourself."
Sacra chuckled.
"I have suffered much more than this, you can start at any ti you want, My Liege."
Back during his ti with the dragons, Akash had asked them if any normal Star Dwelling could absorb another dwelling gem like the Chaos Dwelling could. Omni Dragon had said it was possible and even told him how.
Akash was using that exact thod on Sacra now as he put the gem into Sacra's mouth and continued.
"Don't swallow it, no matter what. No one will be able to save you then."
