BXBX NOVEL Chapter 65 - 65
Chapter 65:
"Thank you, but there is no need," Noboru said. With a mere thought, he warped reality using his Omni Energy to create a small luxury mansion, the entrance leading to his room. "This should do."
The Marine gaped at the luxury building before him, far more majestic than the king's castle. "H-how did you?"
"Like I said, reality is my playground," Noboru replied. "This is nothing compared to my old home."
"What is this castle called?" Yumeko asked, curious.
"Blackstar Palace," Noboru replied.
"Nice," Yumeko said, entering the palace and choosing a room.
"I'm tired. Goodnight, everyone," Sky said, entering a room.
"Thanks for everything, Noboru. I'll see you tomorrow," Layla said, heading to a room.
"Night, guys," Noboru replied, yawning.
"I will take the other room on the left. Thank you, Blackstar Knight," Fire General Kai said, heading to a room.
"Call me Noboru, and good night," Noboru replied, heading towards his room and entering it. The room was magnificent, with lavish furnishings and beautiful decorations. The ceiling and walls depicted a starry sky, lending an aura of peace and calm. A luxurious four-poster bed with satin sheets stood against the back wall. Next to the bed, a lavish armoire stocked with silk robes and fine fabrics, and a vanity with a polished mirror, completed the ensemble. Noboru changed into the soft, plush robes and laid on the bed. With a snap of his fingers, the room was enveloped in darkness as he closed his eyes.
Meanwhile, with Water God Suijin and Enkai
Water God Suijin and Enkai were in Suijin's luxury tent, planning how to deal with threats.
"You heard the Blackstar Knight. He is angered at your treatment of your son and has the power to wipe us all out. We must stop him or we are doomed," Enkai stated.
"I know. Once he's dealt with my traitorous son, we will use the Trident to seal him away. You and the rest of the marines will manipulate the blood, as we are water Aura users. We can manipulate all liquids, including blood, while I seal him away. Then, I will break the Aerithan known as Sky as we take his female companions. They are quite beautiful and will make excellent bed slaves, especially Yumeko. She will serve me in bed or in the slave quarters. I will let you have the other Aerithan, Layla. Sky will be killed after being broken, along with Fire General Kai, and sent to their kingdoms as a message," Water God Suijin ordered.
"Yes, Water God Suijin," Enkai replied, smiling sinisterly at the thought of humiliating and degrading the lowborns.
A marine entered the tent at Suijin's command. "Speak," Suijin ordered.
"I was assigned to the Blackstar Knight and ordered to report anything he does," the Marine reported.
"What has he been doing?" Enkai asked.
"Not much, sir. After dinner, he created a small palace using his powers. The others then headed to their rooms, and he went into his," the Marine reported.
"What?" Suijin yelled, jealousy evident in his voice.
"It gets worse, sir. Those Aerithan and Ignarockian 'trash' are staying in the palace, wearing robes made from the finest silk, furs, and gold," the Marine added.
"What!" Suijin screamed, his aura flaring. "How dare that Blackstar Knight let those 'trash' stay in a palace, while I sleep in a luxury tent! I am the Water God; I demand the best."
"I'm sorry, sir, we don't have the ability to do that, not even you could make a palace using your powers," the Marine replied. Enraged, Suijin glared at the Marine and executed him with a blast of water.
"Harsh, sir. Shall I call the grunts to clean this up?" Enkai said, as Suijin nodded. Enkai called a couple of grunts to take the dead body away.
"Now, back to business. We need a way to deal with the Blackstar Knight and his friends without him killing us, or worse," Suijin said as they planned for the rest of the night.
The Next Morning, Back With Noboru and the Group
Noboru woke up, stretched, and dressed in his usual black and gold armor. He joined Sky, Layla, Yumeko, and Fire
General Kai in the dining area.
"Morning," Noboru greeted as the group replied with their greetings.
"So, what's the plan?" Sky asked as Noboru warped a Japanese breakfast onto the table.
"We will play along with Water God Sujin for now, but I have already told you what I will do once we arrive at the capital city," Noboru replied.
"This is really good. I've never tasted or heard of anything like this. What's it called?" Yumeko asked as she enjoyed the food.
"It's called omelette rice, and I made some green tea, similar to the local drink called 'tea water'," Noboru replied as the group devoured the food and enjoyed the green tea.
"Thanks, Noboru. That was good," Sky said as everyone else agreed.
"We will set off shortly. The Aquoran Marines are preparing the camp for departure," Fire General Kai said.
Noboru turned to Yumeko, Layla, and Sky. "Remember, stick to the plan. We will play along until Water God Sujin makes a wrong move, then we will strike. Let him think we are arrogant and unaware of his plans."
Sky, Layla, and Yumeko nodded in understanding.
Noboru and the group finished their food and stood up to meet the Marines and Aquorans to set off towards the capital city.
Suijin and the Marines were waiting with anger on their faces. Noboru and his group exited their palaces.
"About time," Enkai sneered.
"Excuse me?" Noboru questioned.
"We are wasting precious time here. We must set off immediately," Enkai continued.
"Is that so?" Noboru said, snapping his fingers, causing the luxury palaces to transform into Aerithan birds, further irritating Suijin, Enkai, and the Marines. Noboru simply smirked, aware of their pathetic plan.
"Now then, shall we set off?" Noboru continued.
"Fine, let's get going. We are wasting time here," Suijin ordered.
Everyone started their trek towards the capital city. As Noboru walked, he thought about their plans.
"This will be a fun trip," Noboru muttered, the Marines looking at him, confused by his words.
