Lucky for Akirion, he knew how to stop it because it was going to destroy the whole beautiful island just like the tree that was next to him.
The tree didn’t have any leaves and as for Thaneiros, he had some black soot around his body.
’Ahh, sorry?’ Akirion wasn’t sure whether to ask for forgiveness or something .
’Wow , marvelous! Was that your power?’
’ahhh,{ is he for real? I thought maybe he’ll be mad.} Yeah, I guess it was. It wasn’t that much hard but the way I did it, I’m feeling a bit awkward!’
’ Ohh, that’s normal, I read that if a human uses that much of power, he’ll run out of arcana.’
’ yeah, arcana. It’s an element, something that powers up the magic power. It’s some sort of energy, if you use a lot of arcana, and that’s the same as using your power, it may result in loss of energy, and consciousness too. Don’t take it too serious, it’s part of my research, I was in love with ancient magic stories , so my theory can’t be that much exact!’
’WOW! It looks like you know a lot Master.’
’Or not, it’s all because of my previous romantic love with magic stories and staff, so I can know somethings too!’
’ That’s cool Master! Do you still have those books? (Thaneiros nodded in smile, but his whole face was covered with flame stains.) I’ll really want to get my two small eyes on them, maybe I can gain a bit of knowledge too.
’ Sure, why not, a lot of books are full in that big house, you’ll choose what ever you want!’
’ Okay, thank you Master, can’t wait!’
’Okay okay, we ain’t done training yet, so get back to it, and I’ll find some water to clean my face.’
’Okay Master, lucky you, there’s a lack over there.’ Akirion said, pointing a finger at a big lake, estimation: 5000km or 3107 miles.
Thaneiros went and got rid of the blacks around his body and as for Akirion, he thought of trying the other elements.
After some time, he successfully tried all the elements, surprisingly he won.
’Haaa, I feel like I’m going to fall down.’
"Haha, good job son, you did it, surprisingly, you did all four of them, are you human? Can you say a word or you turned into a monster already?’
’Hraaaa!’ Akirion made a scary face and scared Thaneiros. ’ Of course I’m still human, I said that I’m tired, I guess you were not listening, you were up to praising the exhausted me, what did you say can be exhausted when you use too much magic powers?’
’ Arcana! Wait a second, humans can’t use a lot of magic powers because they surely run out of arcana easily and fast, according to the rules, you are supposed to be fighting for your life or you should be dead, why are you still talking? That’s why I said that you are not a human!’
’ come on Master, I’m still the same Akirion, aww man, I’m tired, I can’t even feel my legs.’
’Okay okay, hang in there, the wagon will be....ohh there it is, now we will be heading home, happy?’ Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⚑fire.net
’Of course, I can’t wait to get in a warm soothing bath.’
’Really, is that the only thing you are thinking about?’
’Of course master, I’m thinking of a way of restoring my ar.....arna.... what do you call it...arca...arcana , yes arcana, I’ll have to restore my arcana, and I’ll be strong again!’
’Okay okay, let’s go now, that guy stopped there, so we are supposed to go to him and he’s waiting for us.’
’Yeah ,yeah Whatever, I can’t even move.....’
’What, are for real?’
’Haa, you got me surprised for a second , I thought maybe you wanted to sleep here tonight.’
’No , obviously not, I don’t want to be attacked by those monsters.’ said Akirion with a ridiculing voice.
They went to a wagon and they went back home. When they reached home, Thaneiros saw that there were some people who were around, and he saw a trace of them.
’{what were they doing here, and it doesn’t look like they were here calmly. I should be careful and alert.}’
’Master, what’s wrong, why did you stop?’
’Ahh, it’s nothing, I was just thinking, that’s all!’
’Ohh, okay, see you, I’m off. I should bath or I’ll die.’ Akirion said, running to the bathroom.
’Die? What do you mean, who told that you are going to die?’
’ haha, I was joking. Got ya.’
Akirion had his bath , Thaneiros prepared dinner. By the way, Thaneiros was still lost in thoughts about what were the soldier’s trails doing in his house while he swept up his compound.
The darkness rolled through the sky for hours and after some hours the light did it’s job. They continued the same training, trying to train Akirion’s magic powers to be strong and flexible.
Meanwhile, Haruto just like he said, he went with his soldiers to Thaneiros’ house the next day and he found nothing. The third day, he took a break, on that day Thaneiros sent all his students to a new teacher and he was no longer teaching a lot of kids, he only trained Akirion alone in the forest.
The forth day, Haruto went to Thaneiros’ house early in the morning, lucky for him, he found the house with only the breezes of air carrying the tree leaves all around the compound.
’ The what, does that guy really live here?’ Haruto asked, and he continued saying; ’ this is the 3rd day coming here and we found no one!’
’ But someone lives here Sir!’ another soldier supported him.
’ Why are you saying so soldier?’
’ Look at the house Sir, it’s always swept, do you think the house got magic or something like that to sweep it self?’
’Of course not, you are right, which means there’s someone who lives here , he’s hiding from us. We’ll catch him tonight, let’s come tonight, we will finish him Today, being a ghost of steel won’t work for him, hahaha.’ he continued with an evil laugh.
That same day, he mobilized during the day, and by that day, he took a lot of soldiers to get ready for a war. Good luck for him, the King sent for him. For the respect they have for each other, he was forced to go and visit the castle.
’Grrrrr, now my plan is on hold, grrrrrrrr, I should be finishing the ghost of steel not visiting the King.’ he spoke a lot but he ended going.
’ Many colleagues of yours are saying that you lost your mind, you are planning to attack the country’s biggest quiet threat ever, are you okay?’ the King asked, scared for the public’s safety, because the ghost of steel was known for not being able to control his anger, so what if he went rouge after being attacked by Haruto.
’Ahh, it’s not like that my King, I’m fine, all good. And don’t be scared of that, it’s all a rumor.’ he added salt to his cooking and the King believed him.
’Okay , I trust you, you can’t do anything that stupi.....’
’Well well well, if it’s not my father’s favorite, the underground leader. Haa, you are saying that it’s a rumor my foot, there’s nothing like that. Dad, don’t be lied to, he’s a lier, all of his coll...?’ the hating prince was cut off by his father.
’Hey son, hold it, get out of here, I’m busy here.’ the Prince left quietly and went to wherever he went.
After that meeting long meeting, Haruto plotted another attack the next day.
’Akirion! Prepare for an upcoming war, make sure you train to the fullest!’
