Reincarnated at Level Two Million - Chapter 90

“Well then hero, I shall give you a quest.” Luo said. “This will allow both of us to come out of this feeling as if we have won. Travel to the southernmost island in our cluster and you will find my wayward sister. She has lost her balance and maintains a solitary life while she meditates. Go to her and ask for her aid. If she aids or not will be her decision, but I believe if she chooses to help you, you may both find balance.”

“Fine, but if she refuses, I am coming back here and taking you with me.” Zell said.

“If she refuses, I will willingly go with you.” Luo said. “I think she will find you intriguing and wish to help you.”

Zell did not say anything further and just turned around and walked out of the room. As he got back to the street, he channeled his flight magic and took off into the sky.

“Are you sure that was wise my lord?” A servant asked Luo.

“I think there is a chance that two lost, damaged souls, who both believe themselves a hero, can help one another.” Luo said. “I just hope that she sees it that way as well.”

Zell landed on the island that Luo told him of. There was no sign of civilization from the air, only dense jungle and beaches. He channeled magic into his mark and looked around hoping to see something, but he could not as he was too far away.

“I guess I have to search this island.” Zell said to himself with a sigh. “Or I could just go back and save time… No, I need to not force anyone. If I do that, I am no better than the gods. Now where is that dragon woman…” Zell scanned the forest. He noticed a small path in the distance and made his way towards it. It was definitely a path with trees cleared on either side and a straight walkway wide enough for a person.

“Must be the way.” Zell said as he started walking down the path. As he walked, he found the jungle strange. Normally when he had traveled through wooded areas the sounds of creatures filled the air with their songs and calls. This jungle was eerily silent. The trees were full of various fruits and melons, no signs they had been snacked upon by anything, not even insects.

He thought it was all strange but continued walking. Thoughts of whether the white dragon had tricked him filled his head as he worried, he was wondering directly into a trap. He continued on and started to hear a stream. IT was the first noise that filled the air and broke the deafening silence. As he walked the sound grew in intensity and the path widened until he reached a clearing.

The trees were taller in their area and more spread out, but their canopy still blocked the sky, save small beams of light that pierced the leaves. A stream flowed through the opening with flowers sprouting in the sunbeams. In one of those flower beds sat a young woman with her legs crossed and her hands sitting on top of her knees.

She had black hair that was twirled atop her head and smooth pale skin. She was sitting without any type of garment with her eyes closed. Her orange sized breasts on full display.

Zell was conflicted by the sight of her. His youthful body enjoyed the view, but he knew once she discovered him trouble would ensue. After taking in the image into his mind he turned his black to her and made a loud noise clearing his throat.

The woman’s eyes shot open and went directly to Zell. “A human?!” She shrieked. “Why is a human disturbing my meditation?! How did you even get here?! The jungle is impassable!”

“I just followed the path.” Zell said, his back still turned.

“What path?!” She asked.

Zell looked at his entrance point, he intended to point it out to her, but it was no longer there. “I swear there was a path just over there.” He said pointing to where the path once was.

“So, the jungle views you worthy.” She said, standing up. “That is indeed an interesting turn of events. You may turn and talk to me while you face me. I find talking to your back vexing.”

“But you are naked.” Zell explained.

“You humans are always so caught up on modestly.” She said. “The only way one can truly connect to the multiverse is with nothing inhibiting them. I am not ashamed of my body and have nothing to hide. So, turn and face me so that I may see what you look like.”

Zell did just that and turned to face the woman. She was now standing with her hands on her hips, Zell had a full display of her entire body. His eyes could not help but to widen as he took in the image.

“I see I am pleasing to your eyes.” She laughed. “Your soul is all a flutter. So, tell me human, why have you come to my sanctuary? My home in which I am seeking balance.”

“There is a ritual that I need a white dragon for.” Zell said. “I need you to come with me so that I can complete the ritual.”

“Oh, so you wish to abandon your humanity.” She said. “I am sorry I cannot go with you.”

“So, your brother was wrong then.” Zell replied. “He was under the impression that you would assist me if I asked.”

“It is not that I am unwilling.” She said. “I simply cannot. Nor can you for that matter. This jungle is one of balance. Once you enter this clearing there is no way out until you bring balance to your soul.”

“So, wait I am stuck?” Zell asked. “Can’t I just fly up or punch my way through some trees?”

“I am afraid not.” She replied. “Only one who has achieved balance can leave this place. I have been here ten years already.”

“Well, I am going to try and punch my way out anyway.” Zell said as he started to walk towards the tree line.

“I wouldn’t do that.” She yelled.

“It will be fine; I am really strong.” Zell replied. He reached the trees and prepared to punch. As his punch connected a great flash of white light erupted from the trees and blasted Zell backwards, knocking him unconscious.

“I tried to warn him..” She sighed as she went to collect the unconscious Zell.
