Chapter 85: Life of Rakuzen (1/2)
Bright blue lighting circled Lucien's body while small gusts of wind formed around him. With the wind rider spell activated, he created a cloud of wind beneath his feet, leaving the ground as he proceeded to rise into the air with thick blues bolts of lightning emitting from his hands.
Fuuu!
The Rakuzen blew some air towards him lightly and all that power and enchantments with the bad boy look got blown away easily. With his wind cloud blown away, Lucien fell to the ground and with a resilient spirit, he slowly got on his feet and looked a the pair of blue eyes without fear!
”Don't you dare think that will be enough to put me down!” Lucien growled.
”You know… one of the reasons I chose to have you as my successor is because of two things… you trust no one, unlike me who was backstabbed and defeated and two you never give up… These are the two major qualities I lack and you have it…. That's why I think it's time for me to retire and watch you accomplish my dreams without lifting a finger” The Rakuzen said calmly.
”I know you trust no one but this is ridiculous… if I want your body I won't need to be this dramatic to take it… thanks to the power of faith I have recovered the sufficient amount of power needed to forcefully make this body mine and If I should ever do that you won't even be able to resist.” Rakuzen added.
Only after hearing this does Lucien relax a bit with an embarrassed look on his face. He remembered that the Rakuzen is the reason why he regained his affinity to magic but on its first day back he treated it like an enemy.
”I apologize… I went too far this time” Lucien bowed respectfully while saying those words.
”It's okay… I'm just happy to see you have grown quite well without my presence… You are really talented enough to be my successor” Rakuzen chuckled as the scene slowly faded and when Lucien yanked his eyes open he realized that some time has passed.
”How long has passed” He asked gazing at the old chief sitting on one of the chairs in the throne room.
Hearing Lucien he promptly stood up with a hint of relief in his eyes. After Lucien upgraded the castle he suddenly shut his eyes and passed out. They all assumed this was due to the stress of using the creation authority in such a weak body and many feared he would die in his sleep.
”Three hours… We feared you may be dead… What happened?” The old man asked slowly.
”I was pulled into a dark place by Rakuzen… for a quick chat” Lucien said casually as he stood for the throne and began making his way out of the throne room.
”Lord Rakuzen!” The old man screamed at the top of his voice and fell on his knees, bowing with so much energy Lucien felt the old man would get hurt.
