huts.
Seeing that it was getting late, Elias finally decided that it was time to go back home and brought the chatting between him and the boy to an end.
“Calron, it has been many years since this old man had someone to talk to, and I thank you for listening to these tales of mine.”
Elias sincerely conveyed to the young boy, as he gently grasped his shoulder.
After losing his ability to cultivate an element, Elias had been constantly ridiculed by others, and besides a few servants like Gretha who pitied him or the school Head, there was no one else who bothered to talk to him.
Giving a slight bow to the old man, Calron happily responded.
“It was my pleasure, and thank you as well for listening to my story. I wish you a good night!”
Hearing the politeness of the boy, Elias let out a low chuckle as he turned around and started walking away.
Hearing the click-clack of the wooden stick, Calron also turned around and slowly walked back to his hut. After his very first cultivation training, and the strain of using the Azure Lightning, it had completely exhausted Calron’s small body.
Just as Calron had left the gathering hall, three shadows separated themselves from the surroundings, and stealthily followed the boy in the darkness.
……………….
Elias’s eyebrows suddenly flickered as he stopped in his tracks, and tilted his head back towards the direction of the gathering hall. Throwing away his wooden stick to the side, Elias abruptly vanished from his spot!
……………….
Calron was feeling slightly drowsy from all the apple cider that he had a while back, and he was ready to crash into his bed for a good night’s sleep. Just as he entered the corridor of the disciples’ huts, the Azure Lightning within his body suddenly sent a shock to his brain!
“You really should not have insulted Lady Felice, you little brat!”
A cold voice abruptly whispered in the darkness, as mysterious person sent a thick killing intent towards Calron!
Two more shadows coalesced next to the mysterious person, and their features slowly became clearer as they stepped into the moonlight.
A veil of dark fabric obscured their faces, as only their cruel eyes gazed at Calron. The three people all wore the same stygian colored uniform, and under the pale moonlight, Calron suddenly noticed the glimmer of metal in their hands!
For the first time in his life, Calron felt afraid.
Calron slowly stepped back towards, as if that small distance would be able to protect him from these assassins. With his heart and mind in turmoil, Calron completely forgot to use his essence, but even if he did, he was pretty sure these assassins would be able to still thoroughly suppress him!
The assassin in the middle suddenly moved!
All Calron saw, was the shine of the metal coming closer and closer to his face. He shut his eyes tight, as tears started to flow down his cheeks.
At this moment, Calron was not really afraid of death or pain. It was the thought of not being to avenge the deaths of his family that brought these tears of anger and helplessness!
Regret.
Anger.
Vengeance.
“I’m sorry father, I’m sorry mother…I’m sorry…”
Just at that moment, another shadow flickered across the scene, and a trail of blood sprayed into the darkness of the night.
Drops of blood splattered onto Calron’s face, as the boy slowly opened his eyes.
Without stopping his rhythm, the new shadow suddenly flashed behind the second assassin, as another stream of blood sprayed under the moonlight!
A severed head silently thudded onto the ground.
The last remaining assassin’s face was contorted in anger and fear, as he gazed at the killer of his brothers.
The two assassins had been killed within the span of seconds, and neither the last assassin nor Calron even had the time to see who the new mysterious shadow was.
