LOGINMen in black hoods that covered their entire faces started to come out from the small ships that had landed on the ground.They looked to be around fifty or so of them that had landed, and more were still coming out of the big ship that was hovering above.Suddenly, a massive blast of energy shot toward the large ship in the air, and a loud explosion erupted from it.At first, it looked like the ship might lose its balance for a moment, but it quickly stabilized after shaking.There was no sign of damage at all on the black ship as it remained unfazed.“Hmm, that’s definitely strange. That ship took my strongest blast without any damage. This is more serious than I expected,” Owen muttered as he observed the surrounding situation.He had brought ten of his disciples along with him. They were all dressed in white robes that allowed free movement. It looked like ordinary clothing; however, it had a unique ability and could withstand some blasts. At least, it served as a form of protecti
Owen shrugged his shoulders with a sigh.He was just about to sit down when the message arrived, and he even wondered if his sister perhaps knew something like this would happen on a day like this—that made her invite him.Knowing his sister is why he didn’t hesitate when she invited him, because if she’s in trouble, he’d not sit back and watch her face it alone—at least not anymore. He’s promised himself that.“Are all the king’s guards dead or what? I wonder why you’d have to report something like this. Can’t they handle it?” Owen asked, facing the old man.“Doctor, I believe you’re not the type to report something like this if it’s not serious trouble for the guards…” the Queen said.Trying to understand the situation better, although she didn’t think much of it at first since it’s not at least strange enough for some intruders to suddenly start attacking the kingdom anyway.However, Orrathium Kingdom isn’t a place that regularly gets visits like this because many know it’s already
Far away in the Orrathium Kingdom, an old man could be seen walking into the queen’s castle.“Hmm, Queen… you certainly are still as bright as ever, my lovely sister,” Owen commented as he caught sight of her face.She couldn’t help but feel glad that he came so quickly after receiving her message.“Thanks for coming, brother. I know I must have caused you trouble since you don’t like leaving your small dojo.” The Queen wore a bright smile as she walked forward and gave Owen a warm hug.“Mm, I’m already old—don’t suffocate me. I won’t last long,” Owen joked as he gently pulled away from her tight embrace.Owen had white hair that fell to his shoulders. It looked neat and naturally charming, and despite his obvious age, he took great care of his skin—enough that he looked more like a younger brother to the Queen, almost youthful in comparison.However, Owen always kept his hands behind his back and walked slowly, a posture that reflected both his age and wisdom. His sharp eyes missed n
Felix looked unfazed and calm despite the fact that the lightning ability the two had just revealed was a complete surprise to everyone in the faction, as they had never seen anything like it before.The crowd could only watch in stunned amusement, their thoughts scrambling to catch up.Even Fay, who was from a high-ranking faction, was certain that this wasn’t an ability that should even be possible. She simply couldn’t understand how it was real.Almost everyone had to blink twice just to be sure they were truly seeing what they thought they were.“Lightning ability, huh…” Felix mumbled as he studied the twins for a moment.Felix, of course, wasn’t surprised. It wasn’t his first time seeing a true lightning ability, nor would it be his first time fighting someone who wielded such power.However, what was surprising was the fact that people with lightning abilities weren’t supposed to be members of the Bree family—they originated from an entirely different kingdom.So if the Bree had
While Felix was dodging and using strange footwork to avoid his opponent’s blows, he was also doing something on the ground.On closer inspection, he had dropped something there from the very start of the fight, and when his opponent got close enough, instead of fighting back, he used his legs to spread the restraining poison he had prepared.The crowd was dead silent during the fight, many of them now regretting what they had said earlier. Because now that the official had declared Felix must fight his men, it could also mean he didn’t consider their faction to have won the challenge at all. Before, Darren had said he would only punish the faction if Felix failed to defeat Fizwell. However, that now seemed like just one of his schemes—he intended to continue sending his men against Felix even if he kept winning from the very beginning.“What’s going on?” Fay muttered.Because upon closer observation, she could see that Felix’s opponent seemed more sluggish than before—his movements s
“Now let’s see how he fares against his opponent,” Bay said with a grin on his face. The opponent he was facing had an even more terrifying aura than Fizwell.These weren’t just officials for show.Jax had left his position and moved closer so he could watch the fight more carefully this time and see how Felix would handle this one.He wasn’t sure whether Felix simply hadn’t been pushed to the point where he needed to use his Kareth, or if he was confident enough to handle the fight without it. If there was one thing he refused to believe, it was the narrative Bay had come up with—that Felix had only a small amount of Kareth and was trying to avoid the backlash. Although that could be the case, what made Jax certain it wasn’t had nothing to do with that at all—it was the fact that he couldn’t read any aura from Felix.Jax possessed a decent amount of Kareth himself, which meant anyone capable of hiding their aura from him had to be far above his level.And that was likely the case her
“Peter, quickly lead everyone in the visitors section out now. We need to go now,” Adrian said. He’d set the bomb to start reading time earlier as he calculated all his moves precisely. And as he had ordered, Peter rushed into the visitors’ section and led
Shortly into the day, the news had reached Vivienne’s notice as Daniel had instructed that they should inform her that her presence would be needed at the high council court. And until it’d be needed, she should prepare. This was a message for her—that she should prepare ahead of time—and she
For some reasons right at this moment the only thought that’s in Lyra’s mind despite the fact that her heart was profusely beating fast was Adrian. ‘How I wish Adrian was here, he’d never let me suffer from this guy and his father’s hands.’ She thought.
Adrian, seeing her eyes, could understand what she felt. At this point, she believed her family still chose to be hopeful for her and hadn’t given up so easily.They still wanted to fight the Voss family—even though it seemed almost impossible, still they tried to rescue her.Her eyes filled with t
