Conqueror Of All - 124 The gift that I promised you
Defying’s speed was very fast, it barely took her a couple of seconds before reaching the mansion. The entrance door went open by itself and Defying flied inside.
Jiutian was already waiting near the entrance for Defying and Izan, she gave a glance at Izan’s body, she could see through his muscles and bones. “Who was he fighting?” Jiutian asked Defying in a low voice but her expression didn’t change too much.
“Someone strong. Very strong.” Defying replied back in a low voice too. “The opponent had her strength under shackles, she could perhaps only use a few percent of her true powers if I assume correctly.” Defying tried her best to explain in details of what she had sensed when gazing at the woman Izan fought against.
Jiutian gave a brief nod while speaking. “Take Izan to his room so he can rest. There’s nothing to worry about for now, both you and me can guard this place for now.”
Defying didn’t even reply before vanishing with Izan, she entered his bedroom and placed him on the large bed. There were almost no expressions showing on Defying’s face, that was mainly because Defying had almost to none emotions, and even if she had some, she wouldn’t be able to recognize them or use them.
While Defying was watching over Izan, Jiutian went to another room where the rest were at.

Jiutian was able to see that almost all of them had worried expressions.
Robin stood up from her chair and gazed at Jiutian. “Is Izan back?” Every one of them were worried because they had all felt the strong earthquakes that shook the ground had finally stopped. And none of them were stupid, they knew that the cause of the earthquakes was because of Izan fighting against someone very strong.
“He is.” Jiutian replied and gave a small nod, she could see that they all relaxed, but Jiutian’s next words made them worried once again. “But Izan is injured. It will take Izan a night’s rest to heal from his wounds.” Jiutian knew that Izan’s body was heavily injured, but she also knew that his body’s recovery ability was very strong.
“Ah, that is very good…” Shirahoshi sighed in relief, in her mind that the injures Izan went through wouldn’t be too heavy if he could heal his injuries with only a night’s rest.
“That is right!” Perona cheered up as well.
Their mood slowly made everyone cheer up too.
Robin had a smile on her face as she didn’t want to make the others worry once again, but her thoughts were far away. ‘If I’m not mistaken, Izan’s injuries should be very life-threatning, because if it wasn’t, it should take him so long to recover…’ Robin was spot-on on her deduction, because Izan should have been able to recover injures only in a matter of minutes.
“It is good that Izan is doing alright. But do we have news of the enemy he was facing?” Sybill asked after a couple of minutes when everyone had calmed down.
Jiutian shook her head slightly. “Izan should have more information than us. But from what I can tell, the enemy he faced is very old, and that person has been shackled for a long time.” Jiutian replied before gazing towards Sybill. “If anything, there might be some information in the books of Wizard History or something close? Perhaps about the wizards of the past trying to lock down or defeat a great Dark Wizard.”
“…” Sybill was speechless, because she had no idea of who it could be. She had read most of the books in Hogwarts in her free-time, but not once did she read something similar to what Jiutian explained. “There shouldn’t be any clues in the books, I have read most of them.” Sybill shook her head while explaining that.
“Then we don’t have to worry about it for now.” Jiutian said with a small smile. “We will find out these things in the future anyways, there is no point in thinking of it for now.”
And as such, the day and night passed by without anything happening.
Izan woke up in the morning, he felt that his eyelids were heavier than usual, but that didn’t bother him too much. Izan stood up from the bed and wore some clothes, he glanced around the room and went towards the chair near the window and sat there while contemplating over the fight he had with the woman that called herself ‘Empress’.
It took Izan a couple of minutes before he finished contemplating, what he figured out in the end was that his control of Magic Force was way too weak, or else he would have been able to use Charms and Spells on the same level as the Empress and deal with her without too huge of a risk.
*Sigh*… A sigh escaped Izan’s lips before he raised his head and called out. “Robin, do you have time to come to my bedroom?” Izan’s voice wasn’t loud, but everyone in the mansion could hear his voice crystal clear.
It took around a minute before Robin entered Izan’s bedroom, she was wearing a purple dress while holding a book, the title of the book was – The Standard Book of Spells. Robin’s expression was her usual calm one with a small smile.
“Did you need me for something?” Robin asked curiously while her gaze was on Izan, she was trying to look if Izan still had injuries on his body or not.
Izan gave a nod before smiling. “Before that, there is no need looking at me like that, my body is good right now, it only feels a little heavy for now.” Izan could see that this comment calmed down Robin quite a bit. Izan cleared his throat slightly before staring into Robin’s eyes before speaking. “I can finally give you the second gift I had promised you before we went to Skypiea. The reason because it was stalled until now was because I couldn’t give it to you back then.”
“You couldn’t” Robin honestly didn’t care of the ‘second gift’ Izan had promised her back then, because she has gotten something much more important – a family.
A bitter smile appeared on Izan’s face for a brief moment while explaining. “This might be weird to say out loud.” He stopped for a few seconds before continuing in a low voice. “When I first got revived, my soul was fragmented and my personality was twisted apart in thousand pieces… But no matter what, there was a few things that held me together for some reason during that period. And now that I am stable, I can finally sense what those ‘few things’ were.” Izan tried to explain to the best of his ability, but it was rather difficult.
Robin stayed quiet, only listening to Izan. She didn’t want to interrupt Izan in any ways, therefore, the only thing Robin did was to stay quiet and wait till he continued speaking.
“Those ‘few things’ are embedded in my Soul, it has most likely been with me since my first life…” Izan may have forgotten about his memories, but he knew that he had died and reborn a few times over the passage of time. “And the gift I will give you is one of them, I think that it will suit you very well.” Izan smiled before a golden light escaped his body and flied towards Robin before entering her body which shocked her very much.
