As Alexander put his son’s hand on the orb, the mana around the orb fluctuated violently, crackling sound started toe from inside the orb, Alexander’s back started to drench in a cold sweat, if the colour turned out to be golden, things would take a turn for the worst.
In that one short moment, Alexander looked at Sierra, her eyes conveyed a million words. Sierra red at Alexander sayinge what the result may be, she would not let her son die.
Alexander prepared mentally to kill the priest here and overthrow the temple if things took a turn for the worst. He took a look at his little one and swore that he would not let any harm fall on him.
Alexander’s eyes were no longer hazy and fearful, he had made his decision. however, what he feared did note to pass! The orb turned purple, indicating the superior element thunder, there was no golden hue to it. With very little red on the sides.
Alexander, Sierra, Augustus, and Luna Sighed in relief, the church could not harm their child. While Roygar cursed under his breath. The eight and a half star kid did not have ess to the forbidden element, legally he could not do anything to the child, but he could not let the matter go so easily, this child could not be allowed to grow.
Roygar said ” Congrattions my king, 95℅ thunder attribute with 5% fire, a Dual wielder! “.
Thunder boomed in the background, reacting to the little Ronan’s mana, who did not have any control over the element yet. The mana upon birth was especially violent when the meridians were clean and had just started to react to the world’s mana. After about 2 or three days, this phenomenon died down and one had to slowly learn how to wield their element as they aged.<sub>.</sub>
Alexander gave a heartyugh, a potential nine-star talent with a superior element as his main element while fire as his secondary element. A dual wielder, his son if grew up properly would be a force to reckon with.
The inferior elements were about 3 times weaker than the basic elements. Hence for an E-ranked offensive ice spell( ice- bullet), going against an E-ranked offensive water spell( water – bullet) of simr nature. Water bullet would overwhelm ice bullet every time.
The same went for basic elements vs superior elements, The B ranked spell Water st can never win against the B ranked spell darkness st. Hence being a superior element user with such a high aptitude one could say he was bound for greatness. Every major academy and prestigious sect would die for such a disciple.
In Everlon, the children were home-schooled for ages 1-7, where they were only lightly trained by their parents. At the age of 7, they enrolled in school, where they would stay for the age of 7-13. At 13 years old they would graduate with the knowledge of basic history, geography, economy,nguage, maths, andbat.
From 13-18, they would train in prestigious sects and higher institutes, under a master. Afterpletion of their education at 18, they would either be given a choice to serve the sect for 3 years or state military service for 2 years.
At the age of 20/21, one would finally be free from educational duties and to live their life. Education up to the age of 13 was free andpulsory by the government. The admission into a sect was up to individual talents. After which the security service waspulsory for everyone.<sub></sub>
Avalon was a warrior nation, and these reforms were made by Alexander as he standardized education under his reign. He also introduced the two-yearpulsory military service or a tribute of 250 gold. While those who chose the 3-year sect service, their sects would pay the 250 gold instead of the individual, which was the reason why unless in special cases the sect service was only offered by premium sects to their most outstanding disciples, while most were forced to join the military.
Only afterpleting 21 years of age and 2 years ofpulsory military service was one given citizenship of Avalon and the right to purchase and inherit property as well as marriage. This was amon rule for both men and women. Even females hadpulsory military service andbat education.
It was because of these reforms that slowly the citizens stopped feeling like parts of ns and started to feel like part of a kingdom. Nationality had started to form, however it would take another generation to fully break from the concepts deeply rooted in the society.
The throne of Avalon was sure to fall to one of Alexander’s two sons, both being extraordinary talents, With the reforms Alexander made, it was only a matter of time before the Temple would be powerless against the state. Roygar understood the situation, but could not outright oppose Alexander’s rule. hence he decided to use the sneaky approach.
Roygar said, ” Have you heard the tale of Fixten the third my lord? “.
Alexander frowned, he knew about the fallen angel Fixten, the one who awakened the power of the sun at the age of 23 after drinking a bloodline purifying medicine. He then proceeded to wreak havoc on the angel kingdom that ousted him.<sub></sub>
Alexander asked, ” Where are you leading with this question priest “.
Roygar answered ” Agreed, the prince is not born with the forbidden power, however, he still has the power of thunder flowing in his veins, if someday he awakens the forbidden powers, it would be catastrophic for the kingdom don’t you think so my lord? His existence is a threat, I probe you to nip the problem in the bud “.
Alexander red furiously at Roygar, he was absolutely livid at his logic, when he heard maniacalughter.
” Haha hahaha “.
” Luna, take Percy and get out of here, please”, Augustus said.
Grandma Luna immediatelyplied, taking the little Percy who was sobbing in her arms, she walked out of the room.
The moment Luna left the room, the torches in the room zed with unprecedented heat. The room instantly became a hotbox.
Due to the very high temperature, Ronan began to sweat and feel ufortable, hence started to cry.
Augustus red at Roygar, he said ” I have had enough bullshit from you temple people, How audacious of you to threaten the life of my grandson right in front of me. Have you forgotten your ce? Priest? OR DO YOU THINK I AUGUSTUS AM A PUSHOVER! “.
Roygar clearly felt the murderous killing intent, He stuttered in fear but said ” That kid is a danger to the society, what happens if he awakens the forbidden ability, and the worldes to know that the blood of the Phoenix n has the blood of ‘that’ cursed existence! They will hunt us. The n will be put in danger. This is a necessary sacrifice “.
Augustus’s eyes turned Blood red now, as he looked at Roygar with a maniacal smile ” Let Phoenix n fall to their doom, I don’t care, I Augustus Phoenix renounce the position of the n leader, me and my descendants will take the name Draco, my direct descendants will now be called Alexander Draco, Percy Draco, and Ronan Draco, I cut all ties with the temple, however you priest, for threatening the scion of Draco n will now face the WRATH OF THE PATRIARCH OF DRACO CLAN”.
“O HOLY FIRE HEED MY CALL , BURN THOSE THAT OPPOSE THY MIGHTY FLAME , COME FORTH AND HELP YOUR CHILD IN PERIL … FIRE BLAST “.
A mighty fire st left Augustus’s hand , and although Roygar tried his best to defend he was ultimately burnt by the B tier spell cast by Augustus.
His painful screams rang in the corridor , as he was burnt flesh and bones alike. His body reduced to ashes in mere seconds.
The helper from church was trembling on his spot at this time , and praying desperately for his survival. He had already pissed himself as urine dripped on his legs.
Alexander had a lot on his mind , however he 100% supported his father. Roygar crossed a line and deserved to die , if the temple of fire god epted this then they would let the matter go , if not he would go to war.
Alexander said ” Go run to the temple and tell the Head priest that Alexander renounces the name Phoenix and is now a Draco , and that if the temple dares to rise in rebellion , he will answer in kind!”
The messenger ran in fright.
Thunder boomed in background. Unbeknownst to everyone , the pitch ck clouds had a golden crackle to them.
