Re:Immortal

Chapter 153

"Now this, is what I call beautiful." Muttered Beri with her hands around Omis's.

The space that extended before them was incredibly vast making him feel like a small aspect of sand irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. For a second, Omis completely lost himself in the view.

This was not the first time he saw it, but it still did not fail to impress him. The hundreds of thousands stars that illuminated the space all around were exceedingly stunning.

"This is where you wanted to go?" He turned to glance at Beri who was next to him, her eyes had a distant look in them as she gazed at the scene in front of her, a beautiful genuine smile was on her face.

"Yes. It isn't every day that you get to see something like this." She replied as she turned to face him, their eyes locked together for a second before she broke contact.

Omis's gaze lingered on her for a little while longer before he too turned to look at the breathtaking scenery. Suddenly, Beri casually flicked her wrist at the space in front of her causing a table with two chairs to appear abruptly out of nowhere.

The table and chairs seemed to follow some gravity rules of their own as they stayed completely still as if they were settled on flat ground and did not have away.

Impressed by the level of control over her energy that Beri seemed to have, Omis muttered. "Impressive."

"We do need a place to drink that wine of yours, and what place could be better than here." She said before leading him towards the table.

As Omis sat down, he raised his eyes and stared at Beri in silence for a couple of seconds causing her to ask. "What's wrong?"

"Is this your special place? The one where you take all of your dates?" He asked with a grin.

"Dates? Who says your my date?" She answered with a smile of her own.

"Oh, I'm not?"

"Maybe I just invited you here to have a taste of the famed wine of the 'Immortals'." She continued.

"I don't think so." He shook his head.

"Why not?"

"If it was wine you were after, you could have just taken my offer back at my chambers." He said before leaning forward towards, his face inches away from hers as he continued.

"I think you want something else." He whispered.

With his face so close to hers so suddenly, Beri was a little taken aback for a second before she quickly regained her composer "And what would that thing be?" She asked with a grin, her eyes stared back at his and then lowered towards his lips.

Before Omis could get the chance to reply, a frown suddenly made its way onto his face as he turned to glance towards the distance. He could sense a few distant auras lurking far away.

Beri didn't look so happy about the entire ordeal either, her flirtatious grin was nowhere to be seen as she started in the direction Omis was looking at.

"So they appeared." She mumbled.

"They?" Omis's frown deepened as he turned to glance at her.

"Outsiders, they don't appear to belong to the 'Hunters' nor are they ours. They occasionally pop up far in the distance and observe, never doing anything." She added.

"Messed up my date plans too." She muttered under her breath with an angry expression.

Though her voice was low, Omis who was next to her still managed to hear what she said, his frown loosened as a smile replaced it. "Did you ever get to catch one of them?" He asked.

"No, I never had the chance. They are all extremely careful." She said with a shake of her head.

"But from their aura's they don't seem to be all that strong." He answered.

"Yes, but they seem to be watching us with some sort of treasure or something, and with the large distance that's between us, it already gives them the headstart they need to run away." She once again shook her head.

Rubbing his chin deep in thought, Omis turned to stare at the distance. "Hmmm, and they do not seem to belong to the 'Hunter' faction." He mumbled.

"En." Nodded Beri.

"So another faction of outsiders?" He asked.

"Perhaps, that's our most plausible guess." She answered.

"Did you report this matter to Krano?" He asked as he turned his attention to her.

"I did, but then again we already have our hands tied from the 'Hunters', and since these 'people' don't seem to have any intention of interfering, then it's best to just keep our guards up and not do anything." She replied.

"The world is not as simple as you think..." Mumbled Omis to himself, Beri who was standing by his side shot him a weird glance.

"What was that?" She asked.

"That's what 'The summer sword' told me before they left." He answered.

"And what does that have to do with this?" She asked once again as she pointed in the direction of the distinct auras.

Turning around to stare at the planes behind him, the heavenly realm hidden behind a sea of red clouds, and the mortal plane that looked more akin to a floating continent than to a planet.

He then brought his attention back to Beri and spoke. "I've been thinking about what could that mean for a while now."

Beri remained silent as she listened to him speak, "Where did the glowing 'Hunter' masters come from? Why are they so adamant about taking over our realms? And now we have another group of foreigners right outside our gates eyeing us like."

Taking a deep breath, Omis continued. "It's safe to say we are not alone in this universe, this is proof enough." He said while pointing at the distance where the auras watching them could be felt.

"My only logical guess Is that we have something they want." He said with a frown.

"Something they want?" Beri repeated the words, her mind thinking of various possibilities before speaking.

"It's hard to say what that thing could be, especially since we have no idea what the outside world is like." She said.

To that, Omis simply nodded before a toothy grin made its way unto his face as he replied. "Then I guess we just have to find out."
