"Chloe? No, it cannot be. How?" Elijah looked at the scroll near the necklace, for some reason he had a bad feeling about it.Opening the scroll he saw a writing completely different from that used in this world, somehow he knew it was the ancient G.o.ds language and he could read it.
Eir, go to planet 36A in the Milky Way galaxy and observe the boy who activated the red alert.
Heimdall.
After reading it, his mind was chaotic and he couldn"t think cleary. Several moments he had spent with Chloe and Aryanna pa.s.sed before his eyes. "Was all this time a lie? Why would a G.o.d send someone to watch me?" With no time to think, he put everything back where it was and ran back to his room.
Lying in his bed, he could not sleep or meditate while he spent the whole night awake.
...
In the morning, Chloe was waiting for Elijah so they could go to the stadium together, but by the time she reached his door, he was already gone. On the stadium, Elijah was siting with Ophelia and haven"t even talked with her.
Chloe didn"t know why Elijah was acting so strange with her. When Elijah was called to the stage., he get up there and defeated his oponent in just one move. After that, he walked back to his room and did not even looked at her.
On the next day, it was the final matches and the academy took this opportunity to hold a ritual and a prayer for the G.o.ds, sacrificing the fourth rank magic beast, before the fights.
Elijah saw that Neleos and a few others were not there. Ophelia and Luna approached Elijah and Ophelia said. "Ell, one of my friends has disappeared yesterday, can you help me look for her?"
"Okay, you and Luna go look in the academy and i will search in the area surronding the city."
Before going out of the stadium, he looked at Chloe with different feelings pa.s.sing in his eyes.
In the middle of the dormitory, Elijah used [Detect Life] and saw something that startled him. He rushed to a secluded building in the vicinity, as he approached, he could hear the choked cry and opening the door, he saw several bodies of girls on the ground while Neleos was cutting off the student he had seen with his sister before and it was strange because the moment the sword cut her off, a dry body suddenly fell to the ground. Elijah had realized that the all the girl"s blood had been absorbed by the sword!
"That sword is a bit too evil." Elijah frowned. He knew he had to do something about this, but he felt a extreme threat coming from the sword.
After drinking the blood, the sword seemed brighter, as if an invisible force were circulating in the body of the sword. Apparently, this sword was an extraordinary artifact.
Elijah, you and I do not have any feud, if go back and keep this secret, i will let you go. If you don"t, you know that my sword is blind and does not differentiate allies from enemies so don"t blame me if you were to be killed accidentally. I"ll give you one last warning. With this sword in hand, my strength is not something you can resist!" Neleos said in while pointing the devil sword towards Elijah.
"It"s meaningless talk, i understand now! You are a devil and i can"t let you live." Upon saying those words, Elijah actvated Thurisaz and the [Spectral Form] and raised his hammer as he was decided to death with Neleos.
Neleos was surprised to see the appearance of Elijah changing to gray hair, but what made him feel threatened was the aura of Elijah
which was getting stronger and purer. With a move, the devil sword that was in his hands gave a cold bright.
The sword vibrated in his hands as if he were alive and could not wait to drink Elijah"s blood.
Time seemed to freeze when Neleos attacked!
His body suddenly looked like a line of shadows and people could only hear the sounds of their footsteps and the sword cutting through the air!
The sword cut through the wind at a speed so great that Elijah could not see clearly.
The devil sword was quickly approaching Elijah and had gone straight for his throat. If this sword were to hit, it was unlikely for him to be saved, but Elijah was not worried because he had seen Neleos"s [Thousand Sword Changes] before.
"Void Steps!" Just as the sword was about to pierce his throat, Elijah suddenly moved backward and dodged the killing blow and he was now a few meters from Neleos!
"What!?" Neleos was not pleased that Elijah managed to dodge his first attack in an extremely serene manner, and he quickly responded with a second attack.
This time he used the Hundred Sword Changes, a stance of his [Thousand Sword Changes]. When this stance was practiced to the extreme, a sword could make more than a hundred cuts in a single slas.h.!.+ He was not on that level, but he could make nearly eighty attacks in a single cut.
While brandis.h.i.+ng his sword, the sword lights around the body of the sword, along with the elemental energy of Neleos, formed a barrier around the two.
When this dense energy was about to envelop him, Elijah"s body turned into dozens of shadows spreading around him.
He did not know what the movements of Elijah were, but only that the surroundings was covered with Shadows!
The sight of the sword beams fighting with the shadows were stunning!
His face was fl.u.s.tered red. He knew that Elijah would be dificult to deal with, so he had given a option to him. But he did not know that fighting Elijah would be much harder than he expected.
"Devil Sword who feeds of blood and death! i offer you my life force so you can kill the enemies in front of me!"
As the devil sword fed of his life force, it began to emit a red light across the entire area which was composed of a abandoned house, a garden and a few trees. Seeing the red light, even Neleos was stunned.
Elijah"s expression changed when he saw that scene.
Initially, even if it was not easy for him to beat Neleos, it was possible, but now that he had offered his life force to the sword, there were some changes. He knew it was all or nothing and he could not hide any moves if he wanted to survive.
Neleos rose as he was receiving the sword"s power, he was no longer the same as before. In a second Neleos"s sword was already before his eyes. Elijah"s eyes twitched as he dodged!
He had dodged the sword in time, but Neleos was still in front of him.
With extreme speed, it was as if he had teleported in front of Elijah. The same when Elijah uses [Void Steps] he had dodged before but this time he had no way of avoiding anymore.
Dozens of sword beams were aimed at him and with Neleos coming closer, Elijah knew it was impossible to escape, but then his mind flashed with something he rarely used.
"Void s.p.a.ce!"
