Chapter 88: Life Element (2/2)

Elora pointed towards the door and said. ”Association Leader Barret has come. He wants to meet you.”

Kadyn stood up and nodded towards Elora before heading towards the hall where Barret was waiting for him. As he arrived in the hall, Barret stood up and smiled. ”I have brought the thing that you wanted.” He replied. Though one could see tiredness inside his crimson eyes. They looked as if blood would drip out of them at any time. It seemed as if he hadn't taken rest since the Zephyr's attack. Fatigue was evident inside his eyes—and on his face.

”Alright, thanks,” Kadyn said. They went on. ”And take some rest, if children were to see your face, they would be scared out of their wits.”

Barret smiled and shook his head. ”I guess, I won't be able to sleep today.” He said with a low voice.

”Why?” Kadyn looked at him curiously.

A sigh escaped from Barret's mouth, and he glanced at Kadyn before replying. ”They are here. The people from the headquarter.”

”Oh, are they suspicious or anything?” he asked, eyes locked on Barret.

”They just arrived not long ago, and are resting at the moment. Therefore I came to deliver this before they find something amiss. Potioneer Yel is handling the situation with Elder Jyn. However Elder Jyn is injured so he could just instruct Yel what to do, without doing anything himself.”

”Then that's good,” Kadyn said. ”As long as they don't know about the blood. It's all good.”

At this moment Barret pointed towards the two large barrels at the corner of the hall and said. ”The thing you wanted is inside these barrels.” Then he stood up and cupped his hands before speaking. ”I need to go back or they would get suspicious.”

Kadyn thought and asked curiously. ”How powerful are they?”

”There are five of them.” He said and glanced at Kadyn. ”All of them Rank 3.”

Kadyn sucked a cold beath at his words. Rank 3. Five of them. If they knew that he had taken something that belongs to them. They would definitely tear him into shreds. I need to keep a low profile until they go back. He thought with a racing heart.

After sending Barret, Kadyn turned towards Hot Rod, and Khrom, who had already returned after getting his itching cure and spoke. ”You guys take these barrels to the Potion Hall.” Then he looked at Khrom and said, ”You will get 1 Energy point for it.”

Hot Rod's face twitched as he heard this term once more. He didn't know what the energy point was. But he knew that it was similar to the money. As wherever Kadyn would ask Khrom to do any work he would tell him that he would get this-and-this many energy points. Though he was curious, he never asked, as he knew that he would be asking for trouble if he upset Kadyn.

The duo dragged the barrels and went towards the Potion Hall. Kadyn didn't stay in the hall either and went to Elora's room. He wanted to know what kind of spell she used to heal those soldiers. The spell was so overbearing that Elora could have been crippled if she made a minor mistake at that time.

When he arrived in her room she was reading a book. He looked at her and she lifted her gaze, staring at him. Then Kadyn walked towards the sofa and sat on it comfortably before speaking. ”What kind of spell was that?”

”Healing.” She said, but when Kadyn didn't laugh she went on. ”A bad joke, I guess. Actually, for that spell, I have used all of my energy points.”

”I know.” Kadyn already knew that, as he had checked her status previously, and she had only ten energy points left in her account.

Elora took a deep breath and glanced at Kadyn before speaking. ”Actually… umm… that Spell Pattern didn't belong to the Healing Element.”

Kadyn was confused for a moment, but then his eyes widened. If that Spell Pattern didn't belong to the Healing Element then how could she cast it? He looked at her in confusion and asked. ”What do you want to say? Elaborate.”

Elora tightened her grip on the corner of the blanket and explained. ”Actually, the spell belongs to the Life Element.” She looked at Kadyn and proceeded when he didn't say anything. ”It is similar to the Healing Element. Or you can say that Healing Element is derived from Life Element. As the Healing Element is the part of the Life Element so I could use the spells of Life Elements as well.”

Kadyn didn't speak anything and continued to stare at Elora, as he could tell that something was off here.
