The Last Descendant of the Holy Sword Family

The Terrible Aura

Yesterday was a pretty tiring day, that afternoon after the crying ziyun I started burying all the corpses in one place. Although to make the hole is easy because I can use magic, but moving the corpses is quite difficult and tiring.

Although the sunlight is still not too bright I have to wake the ziyun because today I have to go up the mountain, of course according to my promise to him I I brought him with me.

"Ziyun, wake up this morning"

Although it was a bit difficult to wake him up but in the end he woke up too. Just like yesterday today I also burned some meat for breakfast.

"Ziyun eat this, yesterday after crying you fell asleep so no time to eat."

"alright. Zen do we really have to get up this early."

"Oi'll go to the top of that mountain."

I pointed to the mountain that we were going to pass, although this morning it was still a bit dark but because of the snow in the mountains I was able to see the mountain.

"Why do you want us to go where on that mountain?"

"I want to go to the top, there's something I want to take."

"Tower? You mean the old tower at the top?"

Ziyun's words made it feel like she knew the tower because ever seeing it was not from the words of others, I better ask her.

"yes there's a tower at the top of the mountain, have you ever been there?"

'I know dad and I went to the top of the mountain a few times so I've seen it."

He's been there, it's a good thing maybe he can show the way.

"Then do you remember the way there"

"Yes I remember"

"Good then, because you've been there how long do you think it'll take from here?"

"If by the road I usually go with my father we usually need one day."

According to my estimation it took me about three more days to get there, and Ziyun said it only took one day, this was better than I expected.

"Then get ready, we'll leave soon."

"Good"

Ziyun immediately went to prepare, although I said to be ready but it was not ready to pack her things, but rather prepared to visit the graves of her parents. After all he himself already had no personal items anymore, all his belongings were already burnt and taken by the bandits. Not long gone ziyun has now come with several flower stems in his hand.

"yes"

^^^^ ^^^^

"Dad, mother from now on will go with zen, may father and mother be calm there."

Just a few words that ziyun said, it seemed like he was still unable to overcome the sadness he had in his heart. Her tears kept falling from her eyes, unlike yesterday where I let her cry as she pleased. This time I could not let her cry for a long time or she would continue to be stuck in a circle of grief due to the death of her parents. I slowly walked closer to the ziyun who was fighting in front of the graves of her parents.

"Ziyun, let's get going"

I stroked the head of the ziyun, for her my words were probably a little heartless. But I have to get him out of here, too long here isn't good for him right now.

"Good"

I held Ziyun's hand and immediately left the graves of her parents. We just keep walking, it's far enough we go to the village. Although we have not climbed the mountain of eternal snow but the air around us began to cool. I took out a thick enough cloth from my storage magic.

"Ziyun put this on"

I gave him the cloth I just took out from inside the storage magic, he just received it without saying a word. For me it's not an important matter that he won't be cold when we climb the mountain. Although the cloth was quite thick but when viewed from the air temperature now maybe the cloth would not be useful later if it was at the top of the mountain.

We began to enter the mountain area, where there was only a view of trees covered by the white snow. Not long after we entered the territory of the eternal snow mountain, a group of ice wolves came to surround us.

"Zen, what is it?"

Ziyun who had been on her way only without making a sound, now she felt stiff because there was a group of ice wolves surrounding us.

"That's an ice wolf monster, haven't you ever gone to the mountain? Why don't you know?"

"When I went with dad back then we never met a mustard."

Never encountered a monster while climbing a mountain, something strange happened here. Miss Qinyu said that this mountain was filled with dangerous monsters, but she had never seen a monster during a hike with her father. What might be something terrible going on up there, too many things that are hard to understand. Right now thinking what happened up there is not very important, for me now keeping my promise with ziyun is the most important thing.

"Ziyun stay behind me, I'll protect you."

Even though I said that I would protect him, currently fighting with thirty ice wolves while protecting him was difficult. I kept thinking of the best way to fight while protecting the ziyun.

No matter how much I think I still haven't found the most effective way to this situation. Some ice wolves came attacking as I was confused what I should be doing Shiroki suddenly appeared. With her small body standing in front of me, the wolves kept coming towards us quickly.

I felt that there was no longer any effective way to fight against those wolves so I decided to use a flying knife to fight them. As I was about to throw my knife Shiroki suddenly voiced a very terrible aura, I simultaneously held the hand of ziyun and flowed my mana so that she could survive in front of the yelling aura. The attacking wolves instantly stopped, shiroki still continued to let out his aura.

The ice wolves seemed to be unable to withstand the aura released by the shiroki, they eventually left us. I was relieved that the ice wolves had finally left, but the feeling did not last, long ago for the reason that Shiroki gave off such a terrifying aura it was probably not because of the ice wolves but rather something that was in front of us at the moment.
