Chapter 104: Sound, Void and Sun [4]
?
***
Amon appeared beside Elizabeth and Michael.
His gaze was fixated on the explosion which had just engulfed Daniel whole.
Of course, it was not that big of an explosion. And he was sure that Daniel was still fine.
This was why the emergency sensors had still not gone off.
Small idents like these happened in lessons.
Keeping his gaze on the smoke, Amon tugged the void thread that was coiled around Michael''s ankle.
The thread perfectly coiled around and a tiny searing sound was heard as soon as it connected. Michael snapped back to his senses and he immediately disintegrated the thread.
It was necessary.
Since Daniel chose him as his target rather than Michael this time, Sran wouldn''t wake him up.
His herald was perfectly safe so he had no reason to.
But this was why Amon created the thread.
Not only did Void react violently to the Sun element, but also that Sran must have immediately panicked when the thread neared Michael.
He had purposefully done it in a threatening way.
Fortunately, the pain and Sran''s yell were enough to wake him up.
He looked at Zephyra who winked back at him.
It was she who had given this idea to him.
He didn''t know what type of rtionship they had to make him react this badly but it worked.
''I''ll just ask herte-'' Amon''s thoughts were abruptly stopped.
The smoke instantly cleared in a swirl when a piercing shockwave emerged from the explosion.
Not wasting any time, he clenched the right side of his jaw.
A crunching and cracking sound was heard inside his mouth before he swallowed whatever it
was.
Instantly, his body started to overflow with mana. It was as if a dam had just broken inside him.
If he didn''t release whatever was overflowing inside him, he would crack and burst.
His heart spasmed and clenched with pain as if magma was being poured inside it.
He bit down on his tongue to not lose focus and swung his right arm to the left.
The clothes covering the arm instantly tattered into bits as thick crystalline walls formed and raised on both sides of his arm.
The arm was covered in a cyan-colored crystalline sheen.
The wall spread out a meter on all sides in an instant and he covered all three of them.
Within the very next moment, a rumbling pain hit Amon''s arm.
It reverberated and cracks spread on the walls as the shockwave directly hit the barrier.
Fortunately, the walls were able to hold on despite the overwhelming initial difference between them.
It was because of what Amon had just ingested.
A drug.
It was called Eldorium. It was something illegal that was instantly banned as soon as the idea was presented.
However, the producer moved to the ck Market and it wasn''t hard to find a pill there.
And, Amon had done just that.
He had ordered 10 of them using the Cryptic Glories.
When ingested, the pill pushes your body functions over the limits and breaks the limiters on your mana flow.
The mana in your body started to produce and flow at insane speeds.
Right now, Amon''s mana and strength were one of a 3rd order clovist. However, along with the overwhelming power also came severe consequences.
For one, itpletely messed up your mana pathways. This was a guarantee to happen.
And the pain that Amon was going through was a sign of that. His body was trying to push back the limiters but it was unable to.
And if you couldn''t control and release your mana perfectly, then the mana pathways that were barely holding on might burst.
The same could be said for his body which would in turn leave him a cripple.
Or in the worst case...
Dead.
Moving back to the situation, Amon stopped pouring his mana into the walls and they shattered.
However, both of his arms were still covered in a crystal shield.
The sudden reaction caused the rms to finally go off.
The furniture and the settingpletely disappeared as all the services and the sensors turned off.
CCTVs came out of the walls but were instantly destroyed by a flick of Daniel''s fingers.
Amon took a quick look to the side to confirm that both of them were okay.
And what he saw made his brows raise with surprise.
Right beside him, Michael stood confidently.
His previously golden blonde hair were nowhere to be seen as they were now reced with glowing fiery red hair that swirled in the air, producing cinders at every motion.
His crimson eyes were glowing, matching the color of the sirens.
The clothes on both his arms werepletely torn as one of them was covered in multiple
rocks.
The other was ming with a crimson zing fire that reached up to his shoulder, encasing his whole arm.
Air twirled around his legs which were both covered in a thickyer of water.
Beside him, Elizabeth stood in a frozen position as she stared at both Amon with shocked
eyes.
It was to be expected.
Just finding a dual elemental was able to make the whole kingdom go in an uproar much less a
dual elemental and a quadra elemental alongside.
Ignoring her for the moment, he looked at Michael with widened eyes.
''I didn''t expect him to use Arcane Convergence.''
It was something that was bestowed to only Michael by the system.
It allowed him topletely manipte or make his 4 elements at a whole level above his
rank for 5 minutes.
However, it also had severe consequences such as making him unable to use 3 of those
elements for a whole week.
It also made him very tired.
In the novel, the first time Michael used this was in the mid-terms, where he revealed his rank
and power to the whole world.
It was a little surprising.
Regardless, it wasn''t like anyone would know. The sensors and cameras had been destroyed
by Daniel.
Only Elizabeth would know but she wouldn''t tell anyone without their permission. That''s
how she was.
And also Arthur. But he was the type of person to let you go as long as it didn''t harm him and
his people.
He wouldn''t expose his powers if Michael didn''t want him to. He knew how nosy those royals
could be.
At that moment, Michael''s crimson eyes turned and met his inky ck ones.
"Don''t worry, ''he'' already exined the situation to me." His deep voice echoed,pletely
serious.
This was how Michael was. And this authority and confidence were what also made him a
force to be reckoned with.
Amon nodded. By ''he'', he probably meant Sran.
"As for your powers, don''t worry I already knew." He smiled slightly.
"Oh..." Amon blurted but then shrugged with a sigh.
Well, it was to be expected.
After all, he had Sran.
Then he probably knew about Zephyra as well.
It wasn''t a surprise that he never asked or talked about it. He wasn''t nosy in other people''s
business.
He probably hoped that Amon would reveal it himself and he did.
Both of them simultaneously turned to Daniel who also had his eyes frozen in shock.
This was probably the reason why they hadn''t been attacked yet.
He was too taken aback.
"Well, let''s take care of this guy first..." Michael pointed.
Amon nodded.
"Also, this is going to be our first collective battle so..." Michael took a step forward toward
Daniel who now calmed down.
As Amon watched his back, he turned and smirked lightly.
"Don''t fall behind..."
Amon''s eyebrows raised in disbelief.
''This guy...'' He was apletely different person now.
Nevertheless, Amon smirked back and stepped forward as well, his pitch-ck nodachi
appearing in his hand.
He unsheathed it slowly.
SHEEN~
"Yeah sure, we''ll see about that bud."
