70 Fae and Kelnorin (2/2)

”You guys are still the same. Well, I don't want this kid dead. You have two choices. Either you let him stay in the academy without trying to kill him, or I take him with me to my side.” Fae said as she finally arrived in front of Arnin, however she was only a few steps away from Kelnorin.

”Why do you continue to give out pointless conditions? You should know me well enough. I will not let this kid live. As long as I live, he will be an enemy!” Kelnorin said as he completely released his aura. ”Let me see how much stronger my dear disciple has gotten!”

Fae also completely released her aura, her eyes looking at Kelnorin with anger and some conflicting feelings, portraying the complicated emotions she was feeling. ”Let's hope that you can still match up to me, or else this might be quite humiliating. Hehe!” Fae lifted her hand and put it over her rosy lips, laughing lighty.

Both of them rushed at each other, not showing any restraint. Xillar couldn't help but feel suffocated under the pressure that the two of them released.

Kelnorin's fist rushed towards Fae's left cheek, however the latter dodged it and countered with a kick. Although the kick landed on Kelnorin's stomach, it didn't do much damage.

Fae used the kick to push herself away from Kelnorin, who was also pushed back a couple of steps.

”You have become stronger, Fae!” Kelnorin smiled viciously as he lunged towards Fae.

”Master, it seems that you still have strength, even after living for so long.” Kelnorin wasn't considered old, rather he was actually quite young. However, one could not tell the difference because for cultivators, age barely affected their appearance unless they were willing to look older.

Disciple and master, both of them held hatred for each other, saying that the other was the traitor. They attacked each other without mercy.

Xillar watched on. The room was small, and damage was being done to the walls in the surroundings. They were both very close to Arnin's bleeding body. This caused Xillar to panic slightly. Suddenly, both of the fighters stopped.

”Fae, you know as well as I do that if we continue fighting, it will attract the attention of others.” Kelnorin was lightly panting, however he still looked like somewhat ready for a fight.

”Master, then why don't we stop for today? We should continue in the future. I will escort this little one, so don't try to stop me.” Fae smiled lightly as her condition was much better than Kelnorin's. Although they looked fine on the surface, only people around the same level as Xillar could tell that Kelnorin had received many internal injuries, while Fae received almost none.

'Even Teacher Kelnorin isn't a match for Miss Fae.' Xillar found the situation to be very alarming. Kelnorin was one of the strongest fighters in Lepidoptera Academy, and while Fae was also one of the strongest on her side, it didn't seem like Kelnorin could get any advantage over her.

As both of them stopped, Fae went towards Arnin's body and lifted him up lightly. Kelnorin didn't stop Fae, and only watched on with a calm expression, however one could see that Kelnorin's body was trembling slightly.

Soon, Fae disappeared from the room. Right after she left, Kelnorin fell onto one knee and coughed up large amounts of blood. ”S-she has grown much stronger. I am no match for her unless I make a breakthrough.” Kelnorin clenched his teeth, and pounded the ground with his right fist. Under all the anger and hatred, one could see that his eyes carried a hint of sadness and even some… pride.

Xillar stood by the side, not knowing as to what he should do. Suddenly, Kelnorin turned his head and looked at Xillar with a glare. ”If you didn't hesitate, you know that we could have killed that child, right?” Kelnorin said with anger.

Xillar looked down and kept his silence. There was a high chance that Arnin could have been killed if he didn't initially obstruct Kelnorin, or if he didn't hesitate to block the speeding blade.

”Since you brought us another threat, you will enter the punishment grounds for a month!” When the words came out of Kelnorin's mouth, Xillar's body trembled greatly. He looked at Kelnorin with fear, however seeing that the latter was extremely angry, he held back his words and didn't say anything, silently accepting.

Far away from the Essence Tower, Fae carried Arnin on her shoulder. She had some blood falling down her mouth to her chin, however there wasn't much else. She looked at Arnin, who was lying on her shoulder, and couldn't help but shake her head. ”It seems like you have become an enemy of the academy now. This is great!” Fae smiled and said, however Arnin, who continued to watch the amazing changes inside his body, didn't hear a thing.

Inside of his body, the purple light was gushing everywhere. All of the black and white lights were glowing brighter and brighter. Arnin could see that all the blood that was previously extremely chaotic was now calming down. Everything inside of his body was now calm, however his injuries were still present.

Suddenly, another strange light appeared along with the black and white lights. Arnin looked closer and found that the new brown light that had appeared in his body was actually from the octagonal marks all around his body. Each of them shined with the brown light, attracting the purple light towards them.

”T-this!” Arnin saw something that completely astonished him. When the purple light passed through the the brown light, a red drop would enter the symbols.

New things slowly occured. The previous shining white light became green and rushed towards the injuries, as if adding life to them. The black light, on the other hand, turned grey, and rushed out of Arnin's body, carrying something dark with it.

Arnin, who was still unconscious, was extremely surprised, and even Fae, who was carrying Arnin, could see a grey light coming out of him.

”W-what is going on with this kid!”
