63 Kallis Awakens (2/2)

The old man was silently watching the entire event without batting his eyes, though he has lived a long life he never heard such a tyrant or inhumane person.

Though he felt sorry for the kid, the old man didn't have any thoughts of helping him. If he wasn't crippled he might have stood up for Kallis and even knocked his old man's door for bringing justice to this pitiable kid.

After the accident, he was maintaining his feeble existence with great difficulty, not that he regretted his sacrifice.

While Kallis was cursing and swearing a vague black circle silently crept on to his forehead; the black circle stopped exactly at Glabella and slowly it materialized.

Everyone was lost in the thought, so none of them notice that unclear symbol even that old guy missed that mark.

The Black Circular Mark sent sudden outburst black fog from Kallis's forehead; while the Black Circular Mark disintegrated into black pigment and merged with Kallis.

The moment the Black Circular Mark disintegrated Kallis's conscious slipped and he went into deep slumber.

The Black fog rapidly spread in all direction like a plague. The Black fog turned everything it touched grey ash, it was complete obliteration and silent annihilation.

Strangely the black fog couldn't damage any animate objects. Except for the uncooked eggs and the student's, everything was turned into grey ash; from the iron cookware to sturdy rocks and even the Jade Pearl they collected with great difficulty crumbled into ashes.

Since the fog entirely surrounded them Quinn and his friends were completely blinded and the cave was originally too silent, to begin with so Quinn and his friend went thru absolute terror.

Only their school uniform was resisting the corrosive Black Fog but still, it was putting a feeble fight; the corrosive black fog was breaking the Spirit Dress slowly fiber by fiber.

As the Black fog was devouring everything in the surrounding; the Black Circular Mark which disintegrated into black pigment started to cover his entire body and slowly turned his skin's shade.

Kallis's skin became darker and darker by seconds; after a few minutes, it finally stopped his skin wasn't chocolate brown skin like Boris instead it was darker than the charcoal and deeper than the starry sky.

Quinn was silently witnessing everything happening to Kallis; not that he wasn't willing to help. Though the Black Fog didn't harm them it somehow managed to imprison them, they were completely bound. Quinn couldn't even move his figure much less save his friend.

'Elgar any brilliant ideas?'

Elgar was his only hope, after all, Elgar had a very special origin. So Quinn was expecting some miracle from the Zenith Box, but he was bound to be disappointed.

[Boss, this black fog is something very dangerous. It seems to be evolving with seconds and it's power's also increasing exponentially. Zenith Box is completely sealed so I really don't have any escape plans. But if you die I'll be able to pull your soul into Zenith box, later we could resurrect by reconstructing a new body.]

'Thanks for nothing.'

Quinn rolled his eyes hearing Elgar's awesome backup plan while his brain ran like a supercomputer finding solution. Suddenly his eyes brightened, he thought of the person sitting outside.

'Elgar can you reach out to that Blind Old man, he's surely a powerhouse so that old guy might help us.'
