121 The Great Ones (1/2)
Since Darlene was a great master, her life energy kicked in and started to heal her little by little from inside so she could be brought back to consciousness and save her life.
But before she could regain consciousness, Don wasted no time and swung his sword at her head
”Easy there kid”
Just an inch away from Darlene's throat,Don's flame sword was pulled away from him by a giant hand made of life energy as he looked up to see a bald man in a red robe descending from the skies standing on his sword.
”Don, he's peak heavenly level mage”
Arrora quickly reminded Don through the Khal as Don took a step away from Darlene
”Cat, be ready to teleport us away”
Don contacted Catalie so he and his men could escape if the bald man tried to pick a fight with them because Don knew he had no means to defeat the guy yet.
”Didn't your parents teach you not to hit the girls? Kid”
Randal said looking at Don and then he turned his gaze towards Arrora
”And you? Didn't you know that you don't hit a girl in the face?”
Arrora shrugged as she looked at Kate's swollen face, she had at least lost a few teeths and Arrora realized that she definitely broke Kate's nose looking at the weird shape of her nose.
Randal looked at the bewildered faces of Don and Arrora so he chose to introduce himself
”You are probably wondering who I am, the god gave me the name, Randal”
”Elder”
Don thought to himself looking at the chain on Randal's chest and hearing the way he spoke
”What do you want, Elder Randal?”
”You're a quick one”
Randal nodded at Don and smiled as he continued
”The great one once said, you receive what you put out into the world”
As he said he looked at the struggling Darlene and then looked back at Don
”The thrashing you gave her was the consequences of her actions, and I'm not the one to stop the god's will but”
Don already guessed that there's a but coming as Randal said
”Only the Great Ones and their servants can take a life, not you”
And just as he said, a wave of blue energy appeared out of his hand and covered Darlene. The moment the energy covered Darlene, the injuries, the burn wounds, the cuts on her body started to heal at a rapid rate.
Don noticed that Randal didn't even cast a spell and it was one of the powers of being a heavenly level mage as he heard about a long time ago.
”I wanted to take her as one of my students when she gets into the Cold Moon Palace but after seeing you, I'm having second thoughts Kid”
An opportunity to get into one of the most powerful and prestigious sects in the entire empire was given to Don in a silver platter.
”Forgive me Elder Randal but I have to turn down your kind offer”
However, Don had no intention to join in a sect and hearing Don's answer,Randal's eyes went wide in surprise
”Kid do you have any idea what I��m offering to you? Being a disciple of our sect is far more superior than being a king to a rank 4 kingdom, no matter how many rank 4 kingdoms you conquered”
Don knew that he has to carefully handle this matter or he could be dragged into heap of troubles if Randal tries to force him to join
”Elder Randal, the Great would rather want me to look after my people and lead them to a prosperous life than joining the Cold Moon Palace”
Don and Knight mastered the art of lying and deception while growing up in the divine continent so even a heavenly level mage like Randal couldn't see him lying as a gentle smile appeared on Randal's face and he sighed
”It seems the Great ones have already decided your fate, Kid”
Hearing Randal Don felt nauseated because if Randal was truly a follower of a God, he would be furious or sad looking at the dead bodies lying just before him in the battleground but he only applied the god's word for Darlene. However, Don was happy that he's such a hypocrite as he didn't choose to bring down the wrath of heavenly mage upon his men.
”I assume your feud with Darlene ends here?”
Don nodded his head hearing Randal as he said
”Of course Elder Randal, I don't want to feel the wrath of Cold Moon Palace but”
The 'but' he said made Randal frown and ask
”But what?”
Even though Don couldn't see the magical fluctuations, he still felt a threatening aura radiating from Randal as he quickly said
”But Elder Randal, what if she tries to take revenge for what happened?”
