Dark Phoenix Prince

Chapter 83: Promise

Realizing that the item that had appeared in Jather's right hand was Nirvana spiritual weapon, Alu could no longer hold back. After a moment of staring, he immediately jumped at Jather.

In an instant, Alu landed right in front of Jather.

Alu looked at the key and the sword in Jather's hand one more time before he looked into Jather's face.

He then said in a domineering tone. "Jather, if you know what's good for you, hand over the key and the sword now."

His words sounded as if they were inviolable.

At first Alu thought Jather would say a few words. However, the opposite happened. Right after he spoke, although Jather's expression seemed unwilling, he actually stretched out his two hands that held the sword and key.

Jather's actions took Alu by surprise.

Alu did not immediately take the key and the sword in Jather's hand. Instead, he looked at Jather and waited for him to speak.

Alu knew that Jather would want something. Before he fulfilled his wish, even if the sword and key were in front of him, he still wouldn't be able to retrieve them as long as he was in this independent world.

"I'll give them to you. But I want you to promise not to bother me after this." Jather then spoke. He looked calm when he spoke.

"Otherwise, I guarantee you won't be able to get them from me. I'm ready to stay here forever." He added. And this time his tone sounded indifferent.

When Alu heard Jather's words, he was momentarily stunned.

"Promise?" Alu's expression hardened a little.

"Isn't that just a promise. Don't you believe my words?"

Jather didn't answer. He remained expressionless.

In his heart he said; "who will believe the words of one who robs shamelessly."

Seeing that Jather did not speak, Alu then chose to nod.

"Okay." He says.

"I promise that I won't bother you again after you give me the keys and the weapon." Alu then promised.

Just a promise, Alu didn't know how many times he had said it.

However, to Alu's surprise, after he promised, Jather actually responded by shaking his head.

"Is it still lacking?" Alu asked.

Alu's eyes started to turn cold.

"I want you to pledge in the name of the holy path." Jather then answered.

And Jather's answer really puzzled Alu.

"Promise in the name of the holy path? What is it?" Alu said in a low voice.

He had never really heard of anything like it.

The Phoenix clan's knowledge of the holy path was really too little, and Old Joz had never said such a thing either.

When Alu was confused, Rena's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Promise in the name of the holy path, as the name implies, you will pledge in the holy path and use the holy path as a witness. This is the kind of promise that can't be broken. if you break it, you will never be allowed to enter the holy path again."

Rena explained.

"...." Alu

In an instant, Alu's expression turned ugly.

He never thought there would be such a thing.

And the consequences of breaking them were outrageous.

What is the holy path? It was a most mysterious place with countless opportunities.

The Holy Path that Alu entered at this time was only a small holy path reserved for people who were still young.

Out there, there are still many greater holy paths with even more extraordinary opportunities.

How could Alu allow himself to lose the opportunity to enter the holy path.

But now Alu is completely confused. He didn't know what to do.

He looked at Jather and saw that he was still expressionless.

Judging from his expression, he seemed to have decided to stay forever in this place if Alu didn't promise.

At that time, Alu would really lose it all.

Besides, if he retracted his words now, his lies would be exposed straight away.

Even though he was used to breaking promises, he never broke promises so quickly.

"Huh."

After considering various things, Alu chose to calm down first.

He then looked at Jather one more time.

"Jather, you seem to have a big secret." Alu said with cold eyes.

"You're right. But it's nothing important and of no use to you. It'll only cause trouble for me if it's exposed." Jather answered calmly.

"And, of course, I'll still be hiding here as long as you don't pledge on behalf of the holy path."

"The holy path will send you out when the time comes."

"After this holy path, you may not be able to find me for a long time." Answered Jather.

"Oh."

Alu starts to contemplate once again.

After a while, he spoke again.

"Okay." Alu then nodded.

"I can pledge in the name of the holy path. But I want this promise to only hold if there's nothing wrong with you."

"Wouldn't it be detrimental to me if something was wrong with you while I couldn't do anything to you." Alu said.

"No problem." Answered Jather. "You can make a promise now."

"Okay..."

And Alu promised by mentioning the name of the holy path.

Whooss...

Right after Alu promised, golden light suddenly appeared out of nowhere and entered Alu's body.

When the light disappeared in his body, Alu couldn't find anything on his body and he didn't feel anything was wrong either. However, somehow Alu suddenly felt a pair of eyes in the darkness watching over him.

But that feeling didn't last too long. After a while, it disappeared as if it never existed.

"What kind of existence is this holy path?" Alu wondered.

He really didn't like the feeling of being watched.

Unfortunately, there were too many things weak people couldn't change.

"Huh." He sighed.

After that, he immediately took the key and sword in Jather's hand.

After taking the two items, Alu immediately jumped into the distance. He really couldn't wait to check them out.

While jumping, he spoke to Rena and the others.

"We'll cultivate here first. Use the energy balls you guys got to break through." Said Alu.
