Heavenly Dao Child 192 Late Night Visi

Agrippa: "That was a wonderful duel Daoist Frozen Flames and even if he lost Junior Daoist Ryuu was really exceptional."

Frozen Flames: "He is a very good, Daoist Agrippa may I ask you something?", she spoke as she was resting on a arm chair that had been brought inside Ryuu's room, where a bandage covered Frozen Flames was resting along with her associates who took various position around her.

Agrippa: "Please ask away."

Frozen Flames: "Do you know anything about his family? Who is he really?"

Agrippa sighed as he spoke, "No nothing about him is known except her Highness the first princess brought him, in fact she also warned me that if a single hair of him is harmed before he steps inside the hidden space."

Frozen Flames eyes widened as she heard that, "I hope she does not take offence to my sparing with him and injuring him."

Agrippa: "Me too, I would love my head attach to the rest of my body."

Ryuu's eyes fluttered open as he was greeted with a white room and smell of medicines hit his nose.

"Where am I?", he muttered as he tried to seat up, only to wince at the pain which hit him as he put his hand on his chest his breathing became ragged.

"Easy there sir you took a nasty hit, I think you should lie down for sometime", came a voice from his side as woman slowly made him lie down.

Ryuu spoke, "Who are you?"

The woman gave a kind smile as she spoke, "My name is Marcia sire, and I am your nurse sire, you had injured yourself during the spar we have administered necessary medicine to treat you from your wounds and to speed up your recovery."

Ryuu's mind flashed back to his fight as even under so much pain a small smile etched his face as he asked, "How long was I unconscious?"

Marcia: "Sire you were unconscious for almost 5 hours. Do you need anything at the moment, Sire?"

Ryuu: "No nothing, dame Marcia and thank you for helping me."

Marcia: "Then sire I would ask you to please rest and if there is anything you require just press the button and I will immediately arrive, oh and please take this medicine it will elevate your pain and help you to sleep."

Ryuu: "Thank you again dame Marcia.", he spoke with a grateful tone as he raised his head a little as he was fed the medicine by Marcia.

She waited for a few more minutes as Ryuu fell asleep, Marcia then turned and left the room leaving Ryuu alone.

Ryuu's eyes opened wide as he quickly made assessment on his body, the worst injury he had suffered was on his torso although there were many other cuts and bruises but it was the worst amongst others.

He quickly took a few pills as he swallowed them, they were medicines and with a couple of hours he would be all healed up and even the dizziness from all those blood he had lost would be cured, the medicine he got from his teachers were wonderful he just had to lie down and sleep, he could see from the window that it was already evening.

Ryuu was unable to move owing to pain from all his injuries as such he took out a couple of blank talisman as he quickly added a few arrays on them and send them on various corner of the room.

"tch, the medicines are worthless they could not dull the pain.", he took another pill and soon a soothing feeling rushed through his body he felt as if after toiling through hot and unforgivable desert he had finally reached shelter as well as he finally received some cool water to rest his parched tongue and body, although it was not the medicines problem but Ryuu himself, since he was a child his teachers had fed him various items in order to increase his immunity to poison, and as a side effect most medicines tend not to work if they are either not very powerful or are not in extra large doses.

It was around midnight just after Marcia had just finished checking on Ryuu who was soundly sleeping, the door of his room opened slowly as a couple of figure stepped inside the room, one of the figure revealed a dagger as the figure stood near Ryuu . The figure tried to slash Ryuu's throat with its right hand as its left went to cover his mouth to prevent him from making a noise.

Only for Ryuu's eyes to open as he spoke with a bored tone, "It is well after visitation hours, and I believe the get well soon gift you carry is detrimental to my health."

The assassin clearly male paused for a split second only to proceed with his quest, then to paralyze and fall unconscious as well as the other person.

Ryuu sighed only for a him to catch a loud clang from outside the window, as a loud boom occurred as the glasses shattered, while the outside of the room was consumed by a red colored flames with black fumes arising from it, a pale yellowish barrier was placed inside the room which prevented anyone from entering without Ryuu's permission, even the two assassins managed to enter only because Ryuu allowed them to, the enter time Ryuu was meditating as his injuries were healing which the nurse Marcia thought him to be sleeping, he was in fact accessing the damages, the array which he had created only protected the inside of the room as such all the damage was done outside.

Ryuu did not wait any longer he dashed towards the window as an arrow appeared on his right hand while a bottle of bluish liquid appeared on his left hand he poured it on the arrow head as he put the bottle back and his trusty bow appeared he aimed at the transgressor and before the person could run he let the arrow lose, through the broken glass window.

The person when he noticed that his fellow companions had been caught had tried to blow the room destroying not only the target but also the evidence he did not expect that the arrow to be stopped by something, a huge explosion followed by a roaring fire he knew the jig was up, his teammates had suicide pill they will surely kill themselves while he will make a break for it the mission was a failure.

He turned to leave only for his danger senses to go haywire only from years of experience he was able to move from the arrows flight path but still he was scratched by the arrow near his shoulder, the arrow hit a wall in front of him causing a huge explosion of dust as the shop building it hit started collapsing he used the cover of the dust to sneak away from the place which he knew would attract all sorts of people.

Unfortunately for him he was able to take only a few steps when his vision started to swim as his body suddenly felt cold, so cold that he could not even move as his body started shivering uncontrollably, his body ached as it slowly become numb. He managed to walk a few more steps before he fell over coughing blood, he was having difficulty in breathing as he hiccupped a few more times as he passed away while cursing inwardly, 'That devious bastard, the arrow was poisoned how did he know we would arrive, were we betrayed damn him and his entire family, damn even after I had such high poison resistance I am dying, I curse him, I cu….'.

Meanwhile Ryuu watched as the bead reappeared on his wrist signifying that the arrow he let loose had returned back, he smirked as he felt the arrow was slight reddish signifying that it hit the target before his attention was brought back to a frantic footsteps as he felt quite a few people appearing outside his room he let the barrier deactivate as the door was opened wide, by then the fire was encroaching inside the room as the fumes entered.

Marcia: "Sire, are you alright? FIRE FIRE THERE IS FIRE.", she started screaming a t the top of her lungs upon seeing the fire.

Ryuu: "Dame Marcia please try to control your outburst.", as he turned towards the other people who had arrived as he spoke, "I need a place to hold these fellow assassins here, they tried to assassinate me while I was resting, as such I wish to interrogate when they wake up from their beauty sleep."

At that everyone stiffened as a few had their eyes open wide upon seeing two people clad in leather suit and cloak lying on the floor fast asleep, they approached the duo as Ryuu quickly put a few more talismans as he spoke, "The fire was done by a third one who tried to blow the room and failed he/she should be dead sprawled on the ground nearby you should send someone to check for the body, now please move we do not have all time in the world. Oh also this flame is not ordinary it was done by igniting the oil from Devil's Tongue if you inhale the smoke you would die of poison, it will burn for an hour and if wish to extinguish immediately use 'Monk's Prayer water', now move fast."

With that the dumbfounded people obeyed as they brought the duo inside a room, as soon as they laid the duo inside Ryuu chased them out as he sealed the room using array to prevent anyone from entire before taking out a device from his pocket, he was informed that the 'Aonia' will be nearby and if he wishes to contact any of his sisters he would just have to use it.

A few seconds later a small holographic image of his eldest sister appeared who spoke with a small smile, "My my did my wittle bwother miss me so much that he called me, does he want to help me at my work again."

Normally Ryuu would have enjoyed a friendly banter with her a little but now was not the time as such he spoke with a serious tone, "Big sister I need your help urgently."

Antariskh frowned hearing his brother serious tone as she spoke, "Please ask brother and I will help you."

Ryuu: "Big sister I had a late night visit from assassins in order to kill me just now, and I need your help in order to interrogate them."

Antariskh eyes widened at that as she let a low growl at that before speaking, "I will be there shortly brother."

With that the communication was cut off, and with a few seconds his sisters were standing beside him,
