"How did you figure it out?"Asked Mogranius in confusion.
"Well we are literally talking about Demons and his expressions don"t show confusion or surprise. It shows that he is familiar with such topics."
Said Stefan, listing out what made him gain suspicion towards King Michael.
"Ah. I suppose I need to learn how to act better. I only had 312 years to learn. It"s not fair!"
What King Michael is doing, would be considered teasing these people with the lack of knowledge they have towards him. Their brains would be overloaded with thoughts, they won"t know which theory that they created in their own mind, to believe first which is rather amusing in Michael"s view.
"Hold on. You"re an Ignite, right?"
Pointed out Commander Alia while scratching her head.
"I would be considered one."
He said as fire gently arose from his palm while he was seated. Which made Stefan spit his tea out.
"You can Control Fire?!"
Yelled Eric in amazement. He is so happy to see another Fire Controller.
He only met one Fire Controller so far, and that was Mogranius. Considerably King Xakro ill.u.s.tratio lll as well. He is a level 6 Fire Controller after all.
"I can. Native Fire Controllers would be even more Rare in Kastaria. 1 in 50,000 as far as i recall, isn"t that right Commander Alia?."
King Michael felt like he was revealing a bit to much information, but for the good of Gaster Kingdom and for the good of Ignis, he had to get the Electus on his side. So he only gave sensitive information regarding his own ident.i.ty in hopes of using his race and origin to his advantage.
"How do you know about Kastaria?"
Asked Commander Alia in confusion. No outsider should know about Kastaria.
"Didn"t you figure it out already. I did tell that i"m 312 years old."
"I thought you were joking about that. You look in your twenties."
Pointed out Woldemir.
"No my friends. I am a Kastarian!"
"What?"
"It can"t be!"
"I already knew."
"You can"t be serious."
"Well technically i"m half a Kastarian.
My mother came on Ignis 320 years ago, keeping her ident.i.ty and Kastaria a secret. Afterwards she married an Ignite who indeed was a Fire Controller."
He took a quick breath and added
"So it resulted to this, lifespan of a Kastarian, body shape of a Kastarian, powers of an Ignite and heart of an Ignite."
"Heart of an Ignite? What do you mean?"
Asked Woldemir to fulfill his curiosity.
"I mean, i had an Inner Demon of rage to beat instead of an Inner Demon of Egoism. My heart was almost overwhelmed with rage before. Hence the sentence "heart of an Ignite".
I mean it is easy to admit, we Ignites are hot blooded."
"You have a point there."
Added Eric in a bit of laughter.
"It is so nice to meet another one of my kind. I thought i was the soul survivor."
"I noticed your ident.i.ty ever since your first visit miss Alia. Nice to see you again.
However, There are more survivors spread around the world but it is highly unlikely for us to meet any of them in our lifetimes. Kastaria is gone and there is nothing we can do about it."
"I hate to interrupt but why did you tell us all of this information if we literally can"t help Kastaria in any way. We can barely help Ignis."
Pointed out Woldemir.
"Look. I"ve been studying these "Peaceful Demons" ever since Kastaria was banished from existence.
These Demons are finally managing to teleport in our world. Their results don"t offer much but considering that they actually managed to teleport here, what"s to stop them from eventually teleporting here stronger?"
"Yes but how can we lend a helping hand on this case? Do you need help burning Demons(ironically)."
Asked Stefan in unintentional sarcasm.
"The Electus. The Electus can help us. You are currently the third most powerful Fire Controller on Ignis. With your help, we can eventually locate and destroy the portal, that would take them at least a few thousand years to recover from. But yet again the recovery time is just a theory. These Demons hide everything really well."
"I"d be glad to help out in any way I can but I do have a question!"
"Yes?"
"You said that the "Electus" is the third most powerful Fire Controller in Ignis. I know Xakro is the first, but who is the second?"
"Didn"t you figure it out already? I"m 312 Years old. Why do all of you keep forgetting something that big? Focus!"
"So you are the Second most Powerful Fire Controller? Which level did you reach so far?"
"Indeed i am. I long reached level six. I can teach you things you never even imagined."
"Hold on pal. I"m his mentor."
Said Mogranius in a bit of jealousy.
"Indeed you are, but there is still a lot I can teach him. With all due respect sir Mogranius, i have more experience in Fire Controlling. I can help him accelerate his progress. He will be able to deal way more Damage to the ill.u.s.tratian Alliance and the Demons with my help and guidance."
"Sounds fair. But where were you over 200 years ago when I was teaching Akareas. I never heard of you before!"
"I lived here but i kept a low profile. Gaster Kingdom had many civilians, it wouldn"t be a surprise if I escaped from your sight unnoticed."
He paused and thought for a few seconds and shortly after added
"Let me cut to the case. Eric. You a.s.sist me to research and beat the Demons and i"ll teach you everything you need to know about Fire Controlling. Do we have a deal?"
