Master Of Myths

"So is it a place governed by some aura?"

"Not just a place, an entire dimension built with time and space aura\'s as the core"

"Something like that is possible?"

Shock was expected, this was an entire dimension they were walking about

"There are endless possibilities in this world, you\'ve much to see yet so I would hold onto my surprise for when bigger things to come"

He suggested, though it came to him as a shock as well when he first heard of the secret dimension

"Is this why only the two of us can enter? Does it require one to possess an aura"

"Possessing it isn\'t enough, you must pass the test upon entering to be able to actually participate in this once in a century event"

"What kind of test?"

"Who knows, who cares, we\'re not taking it"

Allowing one of the new knives he had made to fall out his storage he explained to her what should be done

"Take this knife and slash at space after covering it with your aura, it should easily rip through the test ground and allow you entry"

She picks up the knife with an eye embedded into its hilt and examined it, but there seemed to be nothing special other than the unique aesthetics

"Don\'t worry about its functions, you\'ll know once you insert enough energy to use them"

Just as he finished speaking energy started pouring from the edges of this huge gate, a black light seeping from it into the crater crushing all rubble inside till not even dust remained

"Looks like its starting"

Standing up and dusting his clothes he proceeded to throw the bracelet taken from the beast into the circle, this turned the light from black to a dull grey

"Ladies first"

Ellis hesitated seeing him motion for her to enter but quickly made her mind up and jumped in

"Hmm, how sad, I was looking forwarded to spanking her into it"

He laminated, forgetting his maimed hands wouldn\'t allow it anyway, before jumping in himself

Everything spun around him in a dizzying manner, dizzying for others as it had no effect on the veteran mind whatsoever

\'She\'s probably going to throw up though\'

Almost all who experienced spatial travel for the first time would, him being of the few exceptions

His now light body started to feel heavier and heavier as the spinning world solidified, soon the scenery of an open field lay before him with the only noticeable thing about it being the weird figure standing in the middle

[Welco-] "Skip"

Before whatever this thing was said its first word he rudely interrupted, wielding the knife in his mouth and cutting at air

Scenery once more changed, this time without the minor hassle of the dizzying spinning as a new a vast land came to view, it was still in silence under the red sky, silence that lasted for a century awaiting the new challengers\' disturbance

A couple of seconds passed before space fractured next to him as Elis stepped into the land as well, her face green after the horrid travelling method

"Why…"

She blamingly asked, her sentence unfished as whatever food she\'d had was emptied onto the untouched earth

While she dealt with the after-effects he threw the knife high up in the air, alongside it three more such special knives, then kicked at them as hard as he could

\'That should give them enough of a boost to cover the distance\'

Thinking so he closed his eyes briefly before opening them once more, their whites now replaced with a scary dark colour

In the air the travelling knives started to glow with the same dark vibes, veins popping around the eyes at the hilt as their pupils swivelled around seemingly alive

Images were sent to his brain, the feedback of what the pupils saw, coupled with their ability to glide in the air allowed him to navigate the four weapons to where he liked

\'That\'s the first one\'

His target quickly came into sight, a small bunker standing alone in this barren wasteland

Three of the flying weapons continued in their path while one was brought down at the sturdy bunker\'s doors under his control, stabbing into the ground next to it lightly

The knife lay still there for a second, its eye, however, was anything but still as it madly shook seemingly on the verge of exploding

Ba-BOOM!

And that was exactly what happened, blowing up just like the spatial feather once did, this instantly warranted a reaction from the bunker which self-destructed sensing the invading space energy

The sound of it blowing up was heard loud and clear grabbing Ellis\'s attention as she looked in the direction which it came from in worry

"Enemies?"

She asked but heard no response promoting her to turn to the black eyes YuJu

"Master?!"

Worried about his condition she approached, no words were spoken from him yet again, controlling those knives required great attention causing her to get a little more worried but remain silence thereafter since from their connection she could sense he wasn\'t in any immediate danger

With her not bothering him he could remain focused, splitting two of the knives to a side each while one continued on forward

Quickly all of them approached a structure of their own, the two on the sides came to a small bunker similar to the one he blew up while the one moving in a straight line passed over a huge castle-like building

Baba-BoBoom!

Two loud explosions were heard from the east and west, if the first didn\'t warrant worry from the challengers coming into the dimension this made sure everyone was paying attention now

\'The distance is a bit much\'

Though he had some leeway with his focus no longer split there was still some difficulty controlling the knife from this range

Images coming into his brain got blurrier the further the knife went, thankfully he could spot a small bunker not too far away

\'Come on\'

Retaining focus he put everything into keeping the dagger under control, all until it finally stabbed into the ground close to the bunker like the others did, the result of this was the same as them too as a hard to hear boom reached Ellis\'s ears

Done with the easiest task he closed his eyes to reorient himself

"Master?"

Peeking at the worried redhead he gave a smirk, one that Ellis knew all too well

"Umm, are we about to fight?"

"Heh, you guessed it"

\'I\'m about to enter a losing battle aren\'t I\'

Every time he smirked like that it meant the foe she was about to encounter was a tough nut to crack

"Try your absolute best, it\'s not going to be easy but keep in mind that I will be striking at opportune moments to provide a chance at quick victory"

\'He\'s helping me and still smiles like that….just what am I up against\'

With a nervous gulp she followed him as the two journeyed toward the big castle\'s direction, what surprise waited the two of them was something she wasn\'t happy to guess, and soon neither would he be
