Martial Arts Worlds

Chapter 240 Rotaker Island

Rumble! Rumble!

Above the dark clouds, silvery lightning flashed and rumbled like an angry beast.

The land below, dark and only lit by the occasional candle flickering in the windows, was soaked from the heavy rain pouring down.

It was a lonely-looking island in the World Seas.

With the few flashes of lightning, the faraway wall of mist looked like an impenetrable barrier between the world and the unknown beyond.

Through the flashing of the lightning, a few shadows appeared beyond the mist. The shadows looked mighty, scary, and otherworldly.

Drip! Drip! Drip!

With the heavy rain falling down, a young man sat inside a convenience store, looking silently at the sliding door that wasn't working properly.

It was closing and opening without him doing anything.

The few candles flickered inside the convenience store. It was the only source of light in this strange island where he found himself stranded.

"Yawn!"

He yawned loudly and stretched his arms above his head.

'Always raining. Always thundering. Always so dark!'

The young man hated this place with passion.

During his childhood, he was nothing but scared living here. It was because of the wall of mist in the nearby waters.

Whenever he looked over there, he saw monsters beyond his comprehension. Monsters with wingspans that seemed to stretch for miles. Monsters who were so tall they could touch the clouds.

Eventually, he grew dull to the fear. The fear was only hindering him.

Ding... ding... ding...

At that moment, the sliding doors stopped closing. It stayed open, which attracted the young man's attention.

He had told the owner of the convenience store to fix the doors, but he didn't bother to listen. It had always been just opening and closing.

Now, for the first time in probably years, the door stayed open.

'What in the world...?'

Before he had the chance to stand up and go check out the door, someone stepped on the puddle outside, and he heard the sound of wet footsteps coming closer.

Through the open sliding doors, a young woman entered the convenience store. She wore a white gown, and because of the heavy downpour, it was now clinging to her body, revealing her soaked skin beneath.

She wasn't wearing undergarments, so the roundness of her breasts was visible through the thin fabric, and her nipples were slightly poking through.

Her wet, black hair was plastered to her face, making her look even more alluring.

"U-uh..."

The young man, shyly, stood up, feeling his face flush with embarrassment.

"In the end, you must think about yourself. Do what is best for your future."

Sabbath said, but in the end, he knew what kind of person Kiernan was, and he wouldn't change his mind.

"I'm not leaving. Why can't I fight you, Sabbath?"

"I don't think I can give you the challenge you desire. I'll easily win, so I don't think that is what your martial soul is wanting."

"Hmm..."

Kiernan frowned.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

At that moment, Sabbath's phone started buzzing in his pocket. It was rare for him to receive phone calls.

'Who could be calling him?'

Kiernan wondered curiously.

"Give me a moment."

Sabbath took out his phone, walked away, and answered the call.

"Sabbath?"

An old, yet familiar voice said.

"Makariah? You haven't called me in ten years."

Sabbath said in surprise.

"It is good to hear your voice, old friend. Are you still traveling through the world in search of disciples?

"I've actually found a disciple! About a few weeks ago, I actually, so the timing with your phone call is pretty good, haha!"

"I wonder who is the special person you were looking for... Anyway, unfortunately, I am not calling with good news."

"What's wrong?"

Sabbath's face turned serious.

"My grandson has gone missing. It is never good when someone goes missing here. I need your help in finding him."

"You're still living in Rotaker Island? I told your family to leave that place years ago. You're living very close to the wall of the mist..."

"I know, but... It is hard to leave this place behind, I guess. But I really need your help. We're just ordinary people, and I know I can trust you to find my grandson."

"Sigh..."

Sabbath sighed, but then he frowned, turned around, and looked at Kiernan, who was still punching the wall.

'Well, you said that you were bored. Hahahahaha!'

Sabbath laughed inside his mind, then with a smile, said.

"I am quite busy, but... I will send my disciple over there. He will take care of it."
