Previously:
The day of the practical exae arena created by the Replica Dungeon Nelaira tricks Deora into attacking the Rroda brothers, and Deora ends up pursuing Kiel with a barrage of fireballs Kiel runs away, dodging the fireballs, however, Deora es to hit him with an explosive airball Kiel loses his consciousness and re house as a child After waking up he gets into a life and death situation that makes him overcome his fear of fire and launch a counter attack on Deora Hehiht, Rhur finished Nelaira off in a fit of rage Kieloint they are nohies to defeat Rhur, however, because of his uard with his lightning Rhur proceeds to torture Kiel with alternating between zapping hi him in the sto up unconscious Deora in the process Kiel calls Deora a firecracker andthe entire stadiues to survive due to Elaru’sAfter a short conversation with Zor, Kielhi jolted and speedily twirled the before Kiel’s barrier had completely vanished
What did he do?! Kiel slid his hand into his pocket, si backward, his eyes wide in shock He could feel the changes in the egg even though it had been in his pants
He brought the artifact out, hoping he could activate it again, but the rotations of the rings had coain!
His plight didn’t escape Zor’s golden eyes, which grew colder and colder by the second
He didn’t chase after Kiel, only watching him calmly
However, that caused no relief to Kiel, for a moment later, he almost slammed his back into Zor Arite, who had, in a blink of an eye, teleported froht in his path
Kiel tried twisting his body around in erous situation However, Zor gave hirip
Kiel’s leg that was heading straight for Zor’s stomach paused an inch away as he heard Zor threaten: “Move an inch, and I’ll crush your neck”
Kiel had no doubt that a person revered as a genius of his generation, would certainly have a way to decapitate hiain re Zor: “Forfeit”
I better not make any rash moves Kiel decided Zor Arite obviously didn’t want hiht be a chance to reverse the current situation if he was patient He still had an Acceleration spell and a Morph spell cast on his body All he needed was a single le uard
Perhaps this close proxie his attacks if they are tie combat with Zor, he would be unable to do so, but now, Zor had taken the initiative
“You ht want to reconsider your previous answer I don’t tolerate people lying to
What previous answer? Confusion flashed in Kiel’s mind Was it so hard for Zor Arite to accept that he had no idea of the circuance! Who does he think he is? A God that everyone needs to worshi+p?
“There is nothing to reconsider” Kiel squeezed out between gritted teeth, doing his best to disguise the displeasure he was feeling “All I said was the truth”
Zor snapped his fingers and once again recast a sound isolation barrier around the about lare could alh someone “Let’s talk about you instead”
Zor pointed towards the ht hand “Where did you obtain the Seed of Aegis?”
“A what?” Kiel followed Zor’s pointing finger Elaru’s ? Is that what it’s called?
At that h Kiel’s ical artifact?
Overwhel the exaed to sneak an attack in, it wasn’t likely that he would be able to deal e to Zor Arite Then, should he fish for information instead? Perhaps Zor could tell hiure out the secret of Elaru Wayvin!
“Oh” Kiel ical artifact?”
Unfortunately, the only response he got frorip on Kiel’s neck
However, Kiel didn’t panic Zor see from him, perhaps he could profit fro I know, including where I got the Seed of Aegis, but… it won’t be for free How about it? Pro you want to know”
Kiel was half expecting Zor Arite to turn furious with his bargaining attempt, but instead, Zor chuckled deeply “Nice try Unfortunately, I have no intention to throw this fight just to satisfyshame to the Arite family, not to mention it would sully h he knew that he wasn’t the real Zor Arite But even though he knew that, he felt like he was the real one Their feelings, dreah he was a Replica, it made no difference, he was just as real as the real Zor Arite They were the sa deter he could do to e his mind He understood how he felt If he had been in Zor’s shoes, he would have h he abhorred the majority of his own family
But still, even if he had no family or reputation to uphold, he would still refuse to forfeit The idea of losing his life to someone else on purpose… he just couldn’t stand it! Even the thought that his death would help soher score on his exams left a bitter taste in his mouth Why should someone else have an easy time in their exam when he had suffered in it this much?
Finally, Kiel mumbled: “This artifact is not really mine A friend lent it tothan Zor had asked another question: “Who is your friend?”
For a ht for hiive hi was a sensitive topic She treated it as if it was a coht from a street stall She didn’t even try to hide that it was in her possession If so, would it be alright if he adht?
After all, this Zor Arite was just a Replica ould disappear forever in severalsecret, Zor wouldn’t be able to tell it to anyone He had even cast a sound isolating barrier around them so that the exa the conclusion that he wouldn’t compromise Elaru’s safety, Kiel finally decided to adled to speak through his constricted throat “…Elaru Wayvin”
Kiel had focused all his attention on Zor’s facial expression, so as to catch any flashes of eht help him determine whether Zor found Elaru’s last name familiar However, as it turned out, he needn’t bothered
For Zor Arite didn’t even attempt to conceal his shock His face froze, and he stared at Kiel in stupefaction as if he had just witnessed Kiel growing three wings, two heads, and a tail
Zor Arite knew so too eager, so he only opened his mouth to ask a question after several moments of silence had passed
However, before Kiel’s voice could reach Zor Arite, the silence was broken by Zor’s uproarious laughter “So that’s how it is…!”
It wasn’t an angry orat so funny
No, it appeared as if Zor Arite was…
Pleased?
Zor’s grip on Kiel’s neck slipped, and his aura turneddown on Kiel
Kiel wasn’t sure whether Zor was letting hio on purpose or because he found it hard to clutch onto hihter
