Chapter 558 - The Walker
-----
"Warn me? Of what?
Frank couldn't let the power of this man make him enter into a daze. Although his presence was so calm it seemed as if the man was always in perfect balance.
There was a serenity to him that actually gave him some incredibly powerful aura!
Peace.
Indeed.
Frank couldn't believe it, but he couldn't actually feel any threat coming from him.
The "danger" he sensed was merely made up by how much essence he had.
But even the man's essence was encompassed in this law of complete balance, harmony, and peace.
It was as if he was in complete calmness, stillness, and even as calm as he actually showed to be.
It was as if he had attained some sort of power through the enlightenment of transcendence.
Was he Buddha or something?!
Frank could only think about such a being in his mind, but certainly, this man looked even more peaceful than Buddha himself…
"Come on, don't get so angry! I am here just passing by. I saw you here and I thought "Hey, why not greet the popular kid?"…" He said.
"Stop joking around…" sighed Frank.
"Ah! My bad, my bad… Erm… well… the thing is, what I wanted to warn you about was that… Don't go outside." said the man.
"What?" asked Frank.
"You see… Hah… You gotta grow stronger kid. Way stronger than now… You've gotta surpass your limits and all that crap. The Chaos Gate is certainly a big threat, and they're going international… the people that plan to come here… are not all of them. If you go outside the country, you'll most likely get attacked by them and I and the other three kids won't be able to easily help you because you'll go past our territory." Said the man.
"…You've been protecting me? What kind of crap is that? My family died, where were you in that time?" asked Frank.
"Well that happened before we even realized you were a thing… And that event is what actually made us aware of you and that we should… kind of protect you. When the big baddies show up in Tokyo. I'll come again… But what I can do is limited… most of my power is used in protecting the country." Said the man.
Protecting the country with his power? what did he meant? How come he can't use all his power?
"You're bullshitting me or something? and your warning is extremely vague too." Said Frank.
"Oh man, you're such an extremely important person yet you don't believe me… Until you become strong enough, don't go outside of Japan, you'll be targeted… That's all." Sighed The Walker.
"I have not been planning on going outside anyways… So don't worry about it… Huh?" Frank suddenly noticed that a ball of water emerged atop the man's head and a little sea snake-like dragon covered in beautiful azure scales began swimming around the man, licking his face and groaning cutely.
Frank immediately noticed this wasn't a normal dragon like the ones he owned. This one emanated a strong and pure divinity like nothing he had ever felt before…
"T-That dragon…! Wait, were you the one that rescued the little dragon from the Chaos Gate?" asked Frank.
"Hehe, yeah. This little kid hasn't gone away from me ever since then… You see, he lost his entire family, so he's been following me around everywhere I go… He's been looking for a new family, but I don't know if I can become that family… I am pretty busy despite how I look." Said the man.
"I see… Well, good luck with that." Said Frank.
"Eh? You got a lot of pets, don't you? How about another one?" asked the man. He had expected Frank to decide to adopt the dragon.
"Ah, come on man!" said the man.
"I am already very busy and not empty handed at all! Look for someone else please." Sighed Frank.
"You're being harsh, Frank!" sighed The Walker, as if pretending to cry.
"Groar!"
The little sea snake-like dragon rushed towards Frank, licking his face.
"Grao!" it roared cutely, its big and bright aquamarine eyes made Frank feel his heart melt away. Frank ended petting the dragon, and suddenly, a strange mark showed up on his left hand, showing a roaring sea dragon head made out of blue paint, a tattoo of sorts with a magical power connecting him with the dragon in front of him!
"W-What the…?!" muttered Frank in shock, as the dragon flew around him and rubbed its head over his cheeks.
"Hehe, I knew you would do it for me! Thank you! I own you one now, Frank…! Now I gotta go- Uagh!" cried the man, as he suddenly felt space and time shattering in front of him as a little baby hand emerged!
"Eh? Alexander?!" asked Frank in shock.
"Give… back… papa!" roared Alexander, his entire power began to shatter the entire Domain that Frank couldn't even break!
CRACK… CRACK!
"W-What?! Is this your kid? He's crazy strong…" said the homeless man.
SLASH!
TRUUMMM!!!
Alexander almost deleted the homeless man out of existence by deleting the space where he was, but the man teleported away in time.
"Phew your kid is deadly… Anyways, I am off, sorry for worrying your family." He said, as the man disappeared, and the entire domain broke apart.
"Frank!" cried Kamei.
"Are you okay?!" asked Cathyl.
"Just what happened?!" asked Orb.
"Papa!" cried Alexander.
"You suddenly disappeared! I thought you had teleported away or something…" sighed Gwendolyn.
"Huh? A dragon fish thing?!" asked Axitl.
"I… I don't even know what exactly happened myself… A weird homeless guy just kidnaped me inside of his domain and told me that I shouldn't step outside of Japan for now…" he sighed.
"Huh? Who?" asked Kaguya.
"He… He said he was Shogun named The Walker." Said Frank.
"T-The Walker?!" sked Kaguya in shock, the same time as Matsuo.
"W-What's wrong?" asked Frank.
"H-He's literally the strongest of the four Shogun! He just spoke to you?!" asked Matsuo.
"The strongest? That old man?!" asked Frank.
"He's… an incredible spacetime magician!" said Kaguya.
"Ah… makes sense." sighed Frank.
