Story Of Legends - Chapter 22 The New God Of Death

Jiiku opens his eyes two days after the battle in the kingdom’s Infirmary. When Jiiku looks around, he sees the Princess sleeping on the chair next to her, resting her head against Jiiku’s bed.When Jiiku sees the princess, he smiles with sincerity. Just as he was about to put his hand towards Rose’s head, a soldier enters, Jiiku withdraws his hand. the soldier shouts, “My Quenn, an outside force is approaching.”Rose suddenly gets up and says, “What are you talking about? lead me there.” and leaves the infirmary with the soldier. Since Jiiku pretended to sleep before the soldier arrived, no one knew Jiiku was awake.When Queen Rose got out and looked her around, she realized everything in the kingdom was surrounded by dark clouds and lightning striked. The Queen and everyone else had meet in the middle of the palace.Wendy said, “What’s going on?” she asks.

Dearer said, “This is him, Zaldra, King Of The Gods.” and a giant thunderbolt strikes the center of the palace. he starts to talk with a loud and thick voice “tell me mortals where is the owner of the red lightning.”

Riku says “Whats your purpose?”

Zaldra, “I have no time for your stupid questions, mortal, tell me where he is.”Rose said, “All of a sudden, you’re destroying our palace and you’re trespassing on the palace, and you’re asking us for our information?”

Zaldra said “Enough with the audacity.” he says, and with just one move, he knocks everyone down on their knees.

Riku says “He is using an overly powerful technique to stop us from moving.”Gorou “And it hurts a lot.”

Zaldra, “The price of your insolence will be death.” as he says, Jiiku appears and shouts “Enough” and approaches Zaldra.

Jiiku says, “What are you doing here?”

Zaldra says “I have to take you to the mountain of the gods.”Jiiku “Why?”

Zaldra said “Didn’t you know something would happen to you when you slaughtered the God of death and took away his power? poor mortal.”

everyone looks at Jiiku with a bewildered expression.

Jiiku said, “Don’t be stupid, I’m not going anywhere with you.”Zaldra said, “Let me make a new deal with you, mortal, if you come with me, I will erase my daughter’s punishment and release her.”After some hesitation, Jiiku said, “I accept your offer.”

Riku said, “diot, don’t do this.”

Zaldra said “Silence he made his decision.”

Jiiku said “That girl has been suffering for years because of me. I have to end this.”later, Zaldra Rays himself and Jiiku from there to the mountain of the gods. the mountain of the Gods was unlike any other place on earth. there was a big Palace on the mountain. because the palace was magical, it had hundreds of different rooms, and the palace had multiple features.Zaldra said, “Follow me, God of death.”

Jiiku “Why did you bring me here?”

Zaldra said “Because someone has to do the duties of the God of death.”

Jiiku “Duty?”

Zaldra said “Like Hecta, you must lead dead souls into the realm of death.”Jiiku said, “So how do I do this?”

Zaldra said “You will stay on this mountain for a while and guard the river of death.”

Jiiku said “The river of death?”

Zaldra “people cross this river of death after death, creeping into the void if there is no God in their head.”Jiiku said, “As long as you keep your promise, I’ll do what you say.”

Zaldra snaps his fingers and Bella appears in front of Jiiku. Jiiku can’t help himself, and with his eyes full, he hugged Bella tightly, saying, “I’m sorry, Bella.”Bella looked Jiiku in the eye and said,

“It wasn’t your fault, I knew you’d make it.”

Zaldra said “Come to the Common Room of the gods in half an hour.” and leaves from there.Bella puts her hand on Jiiku’s cheek and said, “You beat the beast for me. thank you.” Jiiku said “No, I did not defeat The Beast.”

Bella smiled and said “What happened, is happened. I don’t care anymore. you saved me.” and clings to Jiiku.At the time, Hecta was talking to Zaldra’s father through the spirit mirror in a secret cellar among the unknown mountains.

Hecta said, “I’m sorry,sir, I failed, the owner of the Red Lightning has defeated me and stolen my power from me.”Zaldra’s father said, “I am aware of everything that has happened, my student.”

Hecta said “So what do we do, sir?”

Zaldra’s father,”only my son can get me out of here, or someone as powerful as him.”Hecta said, “But sir, it’s impossible to find someone as strong as him.”

Zaldra’s father said “Soon someone will be as powerful as him. you’ll understand when the time comes, student, just wait and see.”In the kingdom of Hariken, after Jiiku’s departure, everyone was gathered in the kingdom room talking about what to do.

Wendy said, “Well what are we going to do now, we don’t know when Jiiku will be back. I’m sure ”

Zen “He will return soon, as usual, am right Riku.”Dearer said, “Your Friend Jiiku may never come back.”

Everyone starts pouring questions in amazement.

“It is entirely up to him if he can control his powers and carry out his duties, he will come back soon.”Kiroy said, “What if he can’t?”

Dearer replied “If he can’t, his body will be torn to death, or he will remain there forever.”

Gorou said anxiously “Come on, we all know Jiiku, he’ll make it.”Riku said, “If we wait for him to come, we’ll lose time. we have other problems to deal with.”

Lara said “What’s on your mind?”

Riku replied “First we have to save Kelcie and Sugu.”

Sugu said “But how?”Riku said, “Since this spell is even older than my grandfather, he doesn’t even know what to do. but in a nearby kingdom, we have a map to reach the ancient wizard. if we use it, we can get to him and break the spell.”Kelcie said, “So what are the others going to do?”

Riku said “Others will track down the scumbag Hecta.”

Sugu said “How are we going to figure out where he went? ”

Riku replied “When was on the dragon, I saw him turn into a crow and fly north.”Gorou said, “But the North is a pretty big area, how do you plan to find him?”

Riku replied “He was bleeding when he was crowed and flying, his blood is not an ordinary blood, it’s the kind that goes back to his owner’s body. so I took some with me.” then he turns to Zen and says, “Hey, can you make a tracker for this?”Zen says “Yes of course it’s child’s play.”

Riku said “That scoundrel is not as strong as he used to be anymore. we can finish him easily and then we’ll be out of trouble from now on.”

Dearer said amazement “This is a well thought out plan.”

Riku said “But it won’t work unless we’re careful. we have already drawn the attention of all kingdoms and gods. watch every step you take”At the same time, on the mountain of the gods, Jiiku appeared before the gods in the Common Room of the gods. Zaldra, along with the most powerful gods, was having an initiation ceremony to Jiiku.

Zaldra said, “Jiiku Hayakawa, with The Five Gods and I declare you the new God of death, you are a God thereafter!” he says, and snaps his fingers, After the snap Jiiku’s clothing changes, and his sword suddenly becomes stronger, taking a different shape.Zaldra said, “I have strengthened your sword so that you can easily control the power of death, now go to the river of death and do not leave the mountain until we give you permission.”

Jiiku leaves and makes his way to the river, while Bella goes with him.

Jiiku said, “You don’t have to come, Bella, it’s my duty.”Bella said, “No, I want to go with you.”

Zaldra said “come here, Bella.”

Jiiku said “Listen to your father,I’ll take care of myself.”

Bella kisses Jiiku on the cheek, saying “Be careful” and leaves there with her father.Zaldra beams himself and his daughter to their part of the palace.

Zaldra says “I’ve punished you for years, but you’re still talking to him.”

Bella said angirily “Yeah, Dad, I’m talking because she’s not heartless like you.”

Zaldra said “It hurts me to imprison you, girl, but those are the rules.”Bella said, “Just when he’s going to say something, two people come along. those arriving were Zaldra’s wife and her other daughter. Her mother was a goddess with brown hair,brown eyes, medium height,3 years younger than Zeus named “Pelena”, Pelena was the legend 9 Valkry’s master, Gods and Goddesses had wings on their backs and can hide them at will, Pelena’s wings were the rarest and the strongest of wings and also she was able to see everyone’s secret love when she looks in the someone’s eye’s.And the other person was Layla, the beloved sister of Bella. Layla was a goddess with black hair, green eyes, medium height, 2 years younger than Bella, she was able to speak to the animals and she can give them orders, and she had superior weapons skills and has accomplished many jobs with her intelligence. Bella was not looked like her father, or her mother neither her sister. diffrent from others Bella had taken her grandfather’s Titan Power. The Titan Power had amazing powers such as being able to control all of the elements, create or mix elements, and cover their body with elements. Pelena and Layla, having not seen Bella for a long time, suddenly they hugged Bella and told her that they miss her so much.

Bella said ,”I miss you both of you too.” and continued to hug.Pelena said, “Finally, my daughter is with us again.”

Layla says “Hey big sister, you’ve changed a lot.”

Bella,”And you look so beautiful,you were 10 years old the last time I saw you.”

Layla said “Yeah, I’ve grown up a lot now, just like you.”

Pelena, “I’m sure you are.”

Layla said “Mom, I’m mature, why don’t you understand that?”

Bella laughs “I really missed you.”

Pelena puts her hand on Bella’s cheek and says “Welcome back to your home, my sweet girl.”Layla said, “Please don’t leave us this time.”

Bella said “I won’t leave you, I promise.”

Pelena says “How did you get out?”

Bella says “thanks to Jiiku,mother, who became the God of death for me and saved me from my prison.”Layla said, “Is he the new God of death?”

Pelena said “Did Zaldra make a mortal a God? this is not possible.”

Zaldra said “Silence! I just did what had to be done.”

They all looked at Zaldra.
