The bright red blood pupil flicked and it got bigger and bigger. The pupils approached Heero but stopped ten meters away.
"How did you enter my space? And who are you?" A deep and dignified voice echoed through the void.
"Oh, come on! I even knew you who you are, and here I am still standing. I am not afraid of you, Niadin. Stop playing such a cheap trick!" Heero waved his hand as a big smile plastered on his face.
The creature in the void tried to intimidate Heero with his voice. But Heero saw through the trick.
Sigh!
The creature in the void let out a sigh, an exhausted sigh?
"Who are you? What do you want from me?" Finding out his trick was seen, the dignified voice was replaced with an old man's voice.
This voice was the real voice of the creature.
"Me? I am Xing Heero and there are many…" Heero paused momentarily, "Actually, I don't want anything from you, let's have a chat, "
After he said, he sat cross-legged on the ground and asked curiously, "Don't you feel lonely, isolating yourself here?"
He was having a chat as if they were an old friend, with a dragon at that.
"Xing Heero… Xing Heero… Oddly familiar…" A mutter came out from the void.
"Never heard your name…"
"It's natural you don't know my name. I haven't made a name for myself…" Heero paused and thought, 'All my past achievements were stolen,'
"Oh, we met once though. When I was a kid, you must have forgotten such a little existence, "
There was no response from the void. Maybe Niadin tried to recall his past memories but to no avail. He had met so many kids, there was no way he could remember Heero.
"So, where do… No, how did you enter my private space?" Niadin gave and processed with his question.
"There's a gate there. I entered this space through that gate!" Heero pointed at the dungeon gate's direction.
The bright red blood pupils followed Heero's finger. It was as if the pupils could see through everything and the pupils shook upon finding out there was indeed a hole.
"No wonder my food has been decreasing massively, you guys are the culprit!" Niadin raised his voice.
The dragon was angry as his foods were stolen, but Heero remained unfazed.
"Oh, come on. You hide in the void, how I am supposed to know this place is yours?" He shrugged off lightly and continued, "So, why were you isolating yourself in this tiny space?"
There was a long pause before Niadin gave his reply, "I want to spend the rest of my life in solitary. I have been tired by the constants war, "
"But why did you choose this tiny space? There are many better places than this one! Nebraska Paradise for example, " Heero mentioned one random place where god-like existence like Niadin spent their old age.
"Hah… It's not like I don't want to go there, but I can't…" Niadin did not finish his words.
"Wait! How do you know that place, Nebraska Paradise? Not just anyone knows that place! Who the heck are you?"
"I told you, I am Xing Heero! Oh yeah, Saint is my Master, " Heero confessed truthfully.
The big pupils blinked a few times, scanning Heero's body from head to toe. Niadin seemed dubious to what he said.
"Nebraska Paradise! Already met me once! That man's disciple! Xing Heero!"
"Ah, I remembered it. So you are his missing disciple! One day he came to me and he said his only disciple went missing! He asked me to help him to find you!"
"Ah, so you are his precious disciple. I see… I see… Indeed we have met once…"
"Where have you been all this time? Your Master turned Dramonia upside and down just to look for you! He even almost started the second God War! If not for that great disaster, that bast*rd Horas would have died under your master's hand!"
As soon as he discovered Heero's identity, Niadin became more proactive. He was starting to reminisce about the past with his passionate old voice.
"So, have you met him? He looked so depressed back then. He must be missing you a lot,"
"No, I haven't met him yet. Moreover, what's with the great disaster? What actually happened to Dramonia?" Heero asked the thing he wanted to know the most.
"Didn't you know, the great disaster? Even a God is forced to flee in the face of a great disaster. How come you didn't know about it? All Dramonia people should know about it, the greatest disaster in Dramonia's history. I called that disaster, Meteor Rain!"
Niadin was flabbergasted at Heero's ignorance of the greatest disaster.
"I really don't know! I was fu*king sealed in Eternal Ice for… I don't even damn know how long it was! I am sealed, so I know nothing, clueless! The moment I broke free from the Eternal Ice, the world had changed! I thought I was thrown away at the remote corner of Dramonia!"
Heero poured out his grievance he had been holding back all this time. He felt sorry for his Master, he went missing when his Master needed him the most.
"Calm your mind, kid! Though the disaster destroyed Dramonia, it won't be enough to kill your Master!"
"Well, you survived from the Eternal Ice. It's proof you are truly his only disciple. Okay then, I will tell you what happened…"
Niadin recounted everything during his absence afterward.
The greatest disaster in Niadin's mouth was literally a meteor shower. Meteors showered the land and the number of meteors was countless.
If it was just one or two meteors, it was easy to solve. But countless meteors, even one did not die from a meteor, they would be exhausted to death if they faced the countless meteors.
Knowing this issue, the Gods decided to flee from the greatest disaster. Using Space Technique, Space Concealment.
Sealed a place in an isolated space, so they could avoid the disaster. Just like what Niadin did. He took an island into an isolated space and stayed inside.
"Your Master sealed a few cities into isolated space before he sealed himself along with Nebraska Mountain! That was what I heard before I went hiding in this tiny space, "
Heero was dazed and relieved at the same time. He was dazed how such a disaster happened. He was relieved, meaning his Master and seven mothers were safe and there was still hope to meet them. He just needed to find the right entrance.
"Hah, so the Eternal Ice actually saved my life from the great disaster!?" Heero was amused by this fact.
Yes, if not for the Eternal Ice, he might die from the meteor shower. Maybe even, the meteor shower helped him to break free from the Eternal Ice.
The truth bared before his eyes and he found out the dungeon was truly part of Dramonia. No, he believed the Earth was also part of Dramonia, not only the dungeon.
"Wait, did you say you came from outside, outside is not an isolated space like this, right?" After chatting a while, only then Niadin realized this.
"Nope, outside is Earth. It's no longer Dramonia but Earth. I believe this Earth is the remnant of Dramonia. A lot changed and the air outside polluted, "
This time, it was Heero who narrated what happened outside. In the next three hours, both were having a good chat. As if an old friend that just reunited.
Looking at his smartwatch, Heero stood up, "It's about the time to go, "
Looking at the big pupils with a serious look, Heero asked, "Old Man Niadin, why don't you follow me outside?"
He invited the most dangerous creature to leave its nest.
