The World Of Demons And Gods

"Holy shit! Our city lord has been blown away just like that!?" Xiao Fang gasped in shock with his eyes wide open as he looked at the long white trails of contrails.

(Fact: Contrails are the white lines/clouds/smoke you see behind the aircraft.)

"Huh?" Cyrus and both siblings were startled when something happened above.

A bright green and yellow light flashed above the skies before dissipating.

"What was that?" Cyrus squinted his eyes, soon, he noticed a human figure floating above the clouds, however, more like this person was standing on a stick. This figure wore black clothes and a black hat as he looked down below, looking down on the city.

He also noticed that this guy was holding the unconscious city lord on its shoulder, while on its hand, he was holding a stick and when he waved it, his entire body along with the city lord was covered with green and yellow light.

And soon enough, this figure suddenly disappeared into nothingness.

Was that a mage? Cyrus thought to himself. In fact, he was quite shocked due to the fact that mages also appeared in this world. He was convinced that guy earlier was a mage or wizard just by looking on his clothes and his sticks...

Back on his previous world, English myths and medieval fables or fantasies wizards and witches appeared and quite a famous genre back then, that's why he was certain that guy could be or similar in concept, a wizard.

"What the hell just happened?" Xiao Fang's brother was overwhelmed by what just had happened just now.

"Master, do you know what was that?" Xiao Fang looked at Cyrus as he asked.

By the looks of it, these two didn't notice that guy... Cyrus turned to Xiao Fang and shook his head.

"No..." He responded, however, he knew that his parents were the one who blasted the city lord above when he was hunting Cyrus, such nice parents.

Thinking about it, Cyrus realized that he should meet up with his parents.

"Xiao Fang, I'll leave the two of you now, we'll meet again sometime." Just like that, Cyrus leaped above the roof and ran away as fast as he could.

Before Xiao Fang could say anything, what had left behind was a gust of dust.

Cyrus finally released his aura for his parents could easily found. And what do you know, they did suddenly appear in front of him shocking Cyrus as he quickly stomped his feet forcing himself to stop.

"Son! We gotta leave now." Shane quickly grabs Cyrus hand and when they were about to vanish again, four people appeared out of nowhere and shockingly these four were bishops rank! These four were the elders of the clan!

"Ey, what's u-"

*Bang!*

Before they could even talk, both Shane and James spread their arms and palms wide and with a simple jerk of their hands, these four elders have been blasted away just like how their patriarch was blown away.

When their presence has completely vanished, Cyrus and his parents suddenly vanished, only to appear twenty kilometers outside the city.

... Earlier...

Shane and James were concocting pills for Cyrus, but the city lord suddenly barged inside by blowing up the wall outside, luckily, Shane had already finished concocting the pills because the sudden action of city lord can disturb the process if he was early earlier. But nevertheless, his actions were presumptuous enough to enrage the two emperor rank. Thus he was beaten up before blasting away.

The two had also noticed the person above the clouds earlier, they sensed his peculiar aura that they couldn't forget even if they wanted to.

With their amazing eyesight, they've seen his face. He was a youth, most likely 20-25 years old looking down at them, he wore black leather clothes and a hat, while on his right hand he was wielding a stick.

They saw a youth, most likely 20-25 years old, looking down upon them. He wore black leather clothes and wore a hat, on his right hand he was wielding a stick.

"A mage?" James squinted his eyes as he noticed and remembered the clothing that the person wore, however, the face of the youth was new as he couldn't recall this person just now.

"What a terrifying aura, he's also young!" Shane was surprised a little but despite this, the two of them weren't afraid of this youth, after all, Shane specializes in the long-range attack, if this youth were to attack them, she could attack this youth without a hitch at this distance.

The youth stared at them coldly, however, he was got startled when something rang on his ears, when he touched it, it was as if he was talking to someone. The youth nodded and gave a cold glance at the couple before waving his stick on his hands.

His entire body was covered with a green aura and soon, he disappeared along with the city lord.

Both Shane and James stared at the clouds where the youth stood once.

"He's probably a high ranking demonic mage... This is the first time seeing a young high ranked mage."

"Yeah, it seems that the time of our absence had led them to prepare something big to deal with us, that youth alone can give me an eerie feeling. James, the situation right now seems doesn't good." Shane said seriously as he glanced at James.

"Yeah..." James nodded with a cold stare towards the clouds.

"???" The two felt something below as the two of them were startled.

"It's our son."

... Present ...

Cyrus and his parents were sprinting off road with great speed away from the city while chatting their current situation and future plans, although the situation wasn't that grave for Cyrus and his parents since the three of them wouldn't stay on this country any longer.

However…

Cyrus had noticed the changed on the looks of his parents. It was as if they have seen something that changed their future plans. Not knowing what to do, or to say, he could only shut his mouth as he focused on sprinting along with his parents on his front.

The three of them have been traveling by foot without rest since the three of them are demi-humans, Cyrus could still do this a couple more days before reaching his limit, meanwhile, his parents, wouldn't even get exhausted by doing this, in fact, they could run across the entire continent without getting exhausted.

Hours had passed, Cyrus couldn't endure the silence between the three of them.

"Father, mother, did something happened back at the city?" Cyrus couldn't help to ask, not only that, he was extremely curious about on the person he saw above the clouds earlier.

While sprinting, both James and Shane glanced at Cyrus before looking forward as they continued on sprinting.

"Son, our situation isn't something you should concern about. However, what we can tell you is that our situation is getting dire." James seriously said.

Getting dire? How? As he was deadly curious and this curiosity is making him nervous as he has an uneasy feeling. However, since his parents aren't going to talk about it or share it, he could only try to forget the feelings he's having now.

"Alright..." Cyrus nodded as he turned quiet once again. However, he saw his mother looking at him and she gave him a warm smile.

The three continued to sprinting forward without stopping, even if there are a heavy storm and harsh heat at day their speed wasn't even reduced by slightest.

They keep doing this until three days have unknowingly passed.

"We've finally arrived at the central city. Son, we're going to ditch you inside since there will be endless trouble once you stepped inside that place." James looked at his son before looking at the city up ahead of them.

The three of them stopped on the southeast wall of the central city; even if three days had passed, they weren't even exhausted upon arriving here.

(You know, I feel stupid writing this because the two could practically fly and but they choose to run instead… I the author hereby declare that there will be a phrase "Just let the plot flow." Exist in this damnable novel)

"Alright… To think that this is the capital city of this country… Then wouldn't the house of Annesley located here?"

"Yes, that's why it's going to be a hassle once we entered this city. But worry not, as I have said before, we'll ditch you inside the city directly at the train station." James seriously said.

Cyrus was quite startled hearing that and he couldn't help to have great anticipation seeing a train of this world. Since this will be the very first time, he would encounter a mechanical vehicle technology in this world.

But before they could enter the city, Shane opened her spatial ring and took something out. As she was doing that, she felt sad because the three of them wouldn't be able to have their family date that she wanted to happen before separating their ways.

If she could control the time, she would definitely stop it right now and then spend a lot of time dating with her son along with her husband, James.

While she was doing that, James, on the other hand, realizes what his wife is doing. He could not help to shake his head then with a flick of his hands, a book appeared as he grabbed it.

"Son, there's something I would like to give you." He smiled as Cyrus looked at him strangely.

"Father?"

"I'll, give you this book… A book where my skills and art are written, however, the two forbidden technique inside that book are sealed once you have the strength of King rank. You could unlock that skill if you transfer your King rank anima on it as for it would only open with the same cultivation art as I have." He gave a gentle smile at his son, while on the other hand, Cyrus was deeply shocked as he hesitated to take the book.

The book was a tick, and it wasn't a normal book! In fact, every page seemed made out of gold and it was emitting a formidable aura radiating from it. He couldn't help to gulp a mouthful of saliva down to his throat before reaching his hands and taking the golden book away from his father.

"Father… You mean…" Cyrus hesitated but he definitely had the feeling that every skill from his father is written here! He had a feeling that his father wasn't a simple demi-human, in fact, he probably is the same as his mother! A celestial practitioner!

James smiled as he saw his son's reaction, "Yes," he nodded, "As you can see, every skill I had is written here. However, as of right now, what you can use is sword arts skill that uses a fair amount of anima. Keep it safe."

"Yes, father." Cyrus nodded as he gave a respectful bow at his father before keeping the cultivation skills of his father at Lynae.

"Alright, my turn." Shane suddenly pulled James aside and went forward at her own son while carrying a wooden box at her hands.

James: ~~\ (•◡•) /

But before Shane could speak, Cyrus realizes something.

"Mother…"

"Yes?"

"I… If you and father had already done with your job… Where will I and sis look for you?"

Hearing this question, Shane's smile froze.

"D-dear…" Shane looked at her husband when the two met their gazes. The two of them nodded before Shane looking back at her son once again.
