Chapter 206: Violet Moon Aftermath (2/2)
His eyes widen seeing the messed up room,
The wallpaper on the wall is ripped, the tables inside the room are broken and scattered, and chaos filled the room as Adhara wails in pain on the bed.
But upon seeing Adhara's condition, Edward becomes even more shocked.
Adhara's clothes are tattered as blood covered her from head to toe, she's clawing the middle of her chest as if it will ease the pain she's experiencing.
She's screaming on top of her lungs while the butler and maids try to calm her down.
The painful expression on her face can make one feel how painful she's currently in, and if the butler didn't hold her hand then she will already claw her heart out.
But something caught Edward's eyes,
Amidst Adhara's screams and wails, he saw Adhara's eyes are violet just like Kyran.
This makes Edward stop his steps right beside the door, he then turns his body around and walks towards the entrance of the room.
Edward then stop his steps as he looks to the window,
The blazing violet moon shone down from the sky like the devil's eyes, it illuminate Edward's face with a slight violet contrast.
He then looks down to his feet with a frown,
The event that occurs tonight greatly shocks him, his mind can't cope with this shock.
But then, ”CALL THE DOCTOR!! We can't let ms. Adhara keep doing this!”, the butler shouted.
Hearing this butler's command, Clarice runs out of Adhara's room heading towards the entrance to call for the doctor.
She's scurrying towards the entrance when suddenly Edward stopped her.
”Don't call the doctor, Rex instruct me to handle the situation”, Edward said softly.
He then walks inside the room where Adhara's in, ”All of you! Get out of the room and let me handle this”
Hearing Edward's command, the butler glance at him in doubt.
Even him who is trained to be an Awakened butler finds it difficult to restrain Adhara, much less Edward who is only a student.
Seeing the butler's doubt, Edward then added, ”I'm instructed by Rex to handle this”
Hearing Rex's name has been brought, the butler then let go of Adhara and left the room reluctantly.
”If something happened to ms. Adhara, you'll be at fault”, the butler said right before he left the room.
Bam!
The door is closed shut by the butler,
Edward takes a huge breath as he looks at Adhara who is already calming down, she passed out from the amount of blood she has lost.
He then approaches Adhara before he kneels beside her,
Adhara's breathing becomes steady as the light injuries all over her body get healed, she now looks peaceful than the chaos before.
Edward stretches out his trembling fingers and lifts Adhara's eyelids,
He saw her eyes are still blazing violet before he hurriedly closed them again in fright.
Edward then looks down as tears fall down from his eyes, he started sobbing right beside Adhara who is breathing steadily.
After a few minutes of sobbing,
Edward stands up with a darkened look, he's a mess right now.
Swoosh!!
Fire Mana started to gather on his hand as a sizzling fire blazes his hand in red,
He looks at Adhara on the bed with a troubled expression,
After calming himself down and taking a huge breath, Edward stretches out his blazing fire hand towards Adhara's neck.
Before suddenly, ”Edward?”
”Huh?”, Edward snapped out of his daze and found Robert and Mrs. Greene are looking at him.
He realizes that he just dozes off, ”Are you okay Edward? Do you want to go to the doctor to do a checkup?”, Mrs. Greene said worriedly.
”Oh, No I'm fine Mrs. Greene. Adhara is also well, you don't have to worry”, he said with a smile.
But just as they're talking,
”Breaking News!”
”Benrith City has been attacked by demons last night!”
”After the incident that graves us in Lupis City that has now turned into a Demonic City, Benrith City also follows right after”
The tv news broadcasted the incident in Benrith City,
Because of Edward's sudden arrival, Mrs. Greene forgot to turn the tv off as it plays as a background during their conversation.
Mrs. Greene then said ignoring the news, ”Ask her to come next time, we'll be happy if she comes”, she didn't forget to elbow Robert on his stomach.
”Yeah, That'll be great if Adhara can visit us once in a while”, Robert added.
Edward can only nod his head with an awkward smile,
But then,
”The rising star Rex Silverstar, that just transferred in Faraday University is also got involved in this incident”
”We have a survivor with us here from Benrith City that claims to saw Rex in action”
”Can you tell us what exactly happened there, Sir?”
Hearing Rex's name,
Robert, Mrs. Greene, and Edward look at each other before the three of them hurriedly go to the living room to watch the news.
Their eyes are glued to the tv in worry,
”That night I'm on a train back to Ratmawati City with Rex, all of the passengers know that Rex is inside the train because he came to the station as a Zeragon”
The newsreader is quite shocked by the statement, but she signals for the man to continue.
”Everything is fine but then, our train got hit by a blue demon that knock the train off of the rail. After I recover from the hit, I climb out and saw Rex fighting the blue demons and he shouted to us to run while he buy us time”
Hearing this, the newsreader signal the man to continue.
”He slaughtered many blue demons and buy us time to escape, but the arrival of the winged demon that gives off an entirely different vibe changed the battle”
”With the winged demon arrival, Rex was forced to retreat and some of us got left behind”
The newsreader then asks, ”What happened to Rex? Did he manage to flee the winged demon?”
”Yes, he manages to run away. But not without a cost, his right arm is badly injured and he passes out after carrying a woman”
Watching this news, Mrs. Greene and Robert went pale.
They heard that Rex is injured and as parents this devastated them, Mrs. Greene started to cry on Robert's chest.
After getting the story from the man, the newsreader then said, ”We have footage of the survivors here. The footage is shaky, but it deciphers the situation clearly”
Then, the news played shaky footage inside an abandoned building.
The footage shows people shivering in fear as they all rest inside the abandoned building.
All of the survivors are shivering, and amidst the crowd, the footage shows a bonfire in the middle of the group before the footage ended.
After the footage ended, the news resume back.
Mrs. Greene and Robert are still shocked by the news,
While Edward on the side looks down in thought,
Although the footage is shaky he somewhat saw Rex beside the bonfire unconscious on a woman's lap right on the end of the footage.
It's just a slight scene but Edward notices it, he frowns as he thought of a girl, ”Is that?”
