Free Web NovelChapter 65: What are you doing
Kagerou reacted first, he got in front of Thaedric and rested his sword on his neck. "No, you won’t." He told Gorvo who stiffened at being ignored.
And then he faced Thaedric. "Who are you?" He demanded.
Thaedric studied his friend. Thaedric’s friend and his heart ached. All their shared memories flooded him, slamming into it and taking a gasp from him. He fought for control, breathing slowly and deeply to separate his two memories before one devoured the other.
He smirked and raised his brows. "Come here Kage, you mean you’re too lazy to even recognize your master?" free𝑤ebnovel.com
Kagerou flinched as he heard the name that only Thaedric called him. His hand shook and his eyes glistened. "You...impossible! Who are you? Trying to play tricks with me!" It was too much to hope.
The audience was getting agitated, they became uncomfortable among themselves. The news about Thaedric and his death has been a hush-hush matter among them. And the fact that some of them knew what was to go on today. But now... a man that looks like Thaedric that was dripping the purple blood of the Pure Hydraeus?
Everything is happening too fast for them to fully grasp what is happening. But already, they were all standing.
Thaedric turned away from Kagerou and looked west, towards the main palace that held the throne room. He had to get there now. ’I finally figured out what the Iridessa might be after. It was easy and he should smack himself for not recognizing it before. The Iridessa must be after the guardians’
Thaedric’s thoughts were disorganized by Kage pressing his sword closer against his neck. He frowned. "I don’t have time for this. So, later!"
Lightness flickered around Thaedric, from the top of his hair, down to his legs and then he blurred away.
Appearing a far distance away, below his mother’s stand. The air hummed around him as the purple lighting continued to cover him. "I still have got a handle on that," he looked up at the closed-off glass of his mother’s viewing stand. "Mother! Your life is in danger! Old man Reginald look after her I’ll be back!"
As soon as Thaedric spoke, aura flared and flexed throughout the arena. More so from inside the Bloodscion’s viewing stand.
The murmuring around him exploded into actual scouts and muttering demands of what was going on. Thaedric ignored them all, even Kagerou who was running towards him.
Elder Cormac stood from his place among the other shocked Elders. "Guards! Kill this fraud and protect the Bloodscion!"
"Bastard, he’s still putting up the act," Thaedric muttered. He turned away as blue shields started to pour down the stands, weapons flashing, he looked towards the place where the people of the Crumbs gathered. He saw their shocked face and he took pleasure in the fear in Orso’s face.
"You! You talk like Thaedric but that is impossible! You can’t..." Kagerou said.
"I don’t have time." Thaedric was debating what he should do here. Try to convince them or go and stop the Iridessa but seeing Kagerou’s confused and suspicious face he decided to stop the Iridessa for now.
He began to run. To go to the main palace but also because of the blue shields. He pointed at the stand. "Malak! To me!"
As if it was what he had been waiting for, he laughed and jumped down, metal screamed as he tore the metal rail that stood in his way as if it was made of paper.
Kagerou hesitated but then his nature took over and he cursed, he had tried to solve this with words, he would do it in his normal way, questions later! So he drew his sword and cut the air in front of him, green destructive energy gathered and busted out, aimed at Thaedric.
But Malak was there, landing in front of Thaedric with stone stone-breaking fall. He raised his hand and slapped the attack away as if it was a water splash.
That made Kagerou pause, did this blad man just slap his sword technique– even though it wasn’t a proper one– away like that? Before he could gather himself again Thaedric was already gone, passing through the door that led outside. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
The blad man pointed at Kagerou and then he was gone too. Just then, the glass that covered the Bloodscion’s stand exploded outward and a very angry and suspicious old Reginald looked out. "After them!"
Thaedric ran, using his bloodline technique that made him manifest poisonous lightning. He was faster than normal Rashaka the same rank as him but still, Malak kept pace with him easily.
"What are we doing? I don’t know what’s going on but I’m following your lead anyway!" Malak said.
"Keep it that way!" Thaedric replied. He jumped, combining up a building, and then lunged forward, breaking the ties and exploding forward.
"Wow, that’s some bloodline technique you have there," Malak said.
The two of them were gathering attention now and the blue shield was starting to run after them, shouting for them to stop.
"Malastrum. That’s the name." Thaedric said. The Bloodline is simple, he gets to manifest poisonous lightning from the mana space. What he does with it is entirely up to him. For now, Thaedric manifests it around himself like an aura, increasing his speed and strength.
But he has bigger problems. By now, Cormac and even the Bloodscion would be bending their resources to find him now that the confusion has cleared.
Already the blue shield was hot on his heels, and yet the main palace wasn’t in view. This was the problem with a palace this big. There was just too much space and buildings.
Then he saw the tip of the main palace gleaming in the distance. ’I’m closer now!’ They passed the judgment building, curving around it when suddenly Malak slammed into him from behind, warping his hand around him and sending them both spinning sideways.
Thaedric’s first thought was. ’Did Malak just betray me?!’
