Chapter 124 – Descendent of House Raizel (2/2)
“I can’t promise to be civil, but I will visit them for you.”
Valis sighed, his anger for the Raizel family had dissipated through the years as he found the true reason for them banishing his mother but a slight hostility still remained.
“Thank you.”
A glowing smile covered Elna’s face, as she softly patted Valis’ rough cheek.
…………………………
More than hundred fragments of memory darted within Calron’s mind, but his mental strength was exhausted and he failed to experience any more of Valis’ memories.
“He was your clan member, despite having more dragon blood in him than of yours, he still had a streak of of the Raizel blood. If he had awakened the fearsome Azure Lightning before his death, then with his power in the top tiers of Saint stage, he would have been able to threaten even experts in the Heavenly stage.”
Ezkael said with remorse, watching the last vestiges of the dragon soul vanishing. As both his and Calron’s soul were connected, he glimpsed the same memories that his student did.
“Kid, I think we should pay the Emperor of the Desolate Mountains a little visit… Calron?”
Ezkael voice was tinted with confusion, realizing that the boy had not responded for a long time. Glancing sideways at his student, the smoky face of Ezkael turned to shock.
The strange white symbol had reappeared on top Calron’s forhead, and his irises were now colored grey instead of the usual azure shade.
However, the shocking fact was not that Calron was using his Divine Perception, but that the last remaining traces of the dragon’s soul were being sucked into white symbol on his forehead.
*shua*
A transcendent pearl-white glow filled the area around them, making the daylight appear even more brighter.
*RUMBLE*
Torrents of Azure Lightning from the fading dragon soul crackled wildly around Calron, and the bolts started to seep into his body.
“ROOOOAAARRRRR”
The azure electric snake suddenly coalesced behind Calron, its body starting to coil around the boy.
“What in the heavens is happening here?”
Ezkael muttered with befuddlement. He had never heard of a mortal being capable of devouring the soul of another… that ability was privileged to only the Immortals in the upper realms!
Calron’s body abruptly shuddered, and he slowly began to sit down on the ground. From the blank expression on the boy’s face, it was clear that he was not consciously doing so.
This is starting to worry me, should I stop this?
Ezkael battled within his mind.
Not knowing what was happening with Calron’s body was beginning to scare Ezkael. The power of the soul was a mysterious thing and only when one reached the Saint stage could they start to comprehend its mysteries. With Calron’s cultivation still within the Vajra stage, the absorption of a foreign soul could completely destroy his mind.
“HISSSSSSS!”
The electric snake around Calron’s body hissed in a displeasured tone as it turned around to face Ezkael, almost as if questioning the ghost’s intelligence. “Do you think I will let any harm come to my Master?” The reptilian eyes seemed to convey.
This boy truly has a penchant for trouble.
The Teacher hopelessly sat down and patiently waited for Calron to wake up.
……………………..
Deep within Calron’s consciousness, a draconic voice rumbled.
“I will lend you my strength…. decendent of my mother’s family…”
