Chapter [265] Heartbreak.
The attack on the dungeon mall had ended quite quickly after Twilight had shown up. The various Small Guilds had allied with Twilight and had gone in as rescue teams to save the others. Twilight had the greatest contributions, swiftly dealing with the Chaos Wind Elemental, which was deemed to be a city-level Threat. Its initial rank was low, but the element of chaos it possessed. Many people who were trapped in the building had been injured greatly because of it even though they were hiding. The chaos energy had seeped into their bodies and caused great harm. Thankfully it was only a weak chaos elemental. Twilight had been praised greatly because they handled the situation swiftly. Kazikato Shimoshino, the Death Reaper, had defeated the Beast in one hit.
Thanks to that, Twilight was getting more famous in Aror. Whilst the guilds in the Beast guild alliance headed by the White Tiger Guild were staying Silent, whilst the public admonished them. Now, because of Kazikato Shimoshino recently defeated the threat. He had more fame than Alan. That was given, Alan didnt really partic.i.p.ate in anything whilst Kazikato did most of the work. Alan was busy with something else.
3 days had pa.s.sed since the incident...And Alan was still meditating. He was a ticking time bomb to Twilight now.
"Is...He still meditating?"
Maxwell asked Alice as he rubbed his forehead.
"Yes...How are we going to break the news to him?"
Maxwell, hearing her sighed...
He was a ticking time bomb. The recent incident had caused damage to a lot of people...
the moment Alan found out...about the special news. There was a high chance he would go ballistic.
"Have Kazikato on standby...he"s the only one who stands a chance against him."
"Yes..."
Alice replied and left the office.
"Haa...."
Maxwell sighed as he looked at the files on his desk, reading them thoroughly again and again.
He had sent someone to go get the information from Crimson Snake since both Sabrina and Alan couldn"t go. Sabrina was injured as well, although she had recovered. Elaine as well was also staying with them now after she recuperated. It was a ha.s.sle to keep them. but hopefully, q they could calm down a Raging alan Peccator.
Alan"s Grandparents were fine, Twilight had administered the highest quality Aid to them. They were found at the
The problem was something else, Alan"s Sister Samantha...was unconscious and lying in a special ward here...
That was a major problem. Alan treasured her over anything else. Immensely. The chaos energy emitted by the Chaos Wind Elemental had injured her greatly. It had caused a great reaction to the curse already present within Samantha. This...was dangerous to her. it was extremely dangerous. It greatly enhanced the effects of the dormant curse.
Samantha"s condition had somewhat stabilized previously because of the vast amounts of potions and other medicines Alan sneaked into her diet. It was only a temporary solution, but it didnt work now... Her condition was worsening by the minute. The doctors and healers here were doing their very best...But it was of no use.
Elaine Parker, however, had stepped up and was personally healing her...And thanks to that she was still alive. Barely, however.
"...f.u.c.k."
Maxwell cursed. The situation was terrible now.
He hid the files on his desk in his personal Spatial ring...Alan could not have access to these. No matter what. If he found out who did this... It would be h.e.l.l.
The guildmaster of the Silver Wolf guild, who went by the name of his guild was the cause. Both Elaine and Kazikato had testified that they saw someone with the eyes of a wolf. Predator-like eyes with a unique...look. Elaine didnt see the face, but the eyes. And Kazikato had seen part of it. He had a deep relationship with the Guildmaster of White Tiger as well...And when Maxwell organized the information he received from Crimson snake...Adam White, the guildmaster of White Tiger had a high chance of being involved...
If Alan...found out.
He would raze this city to the ground...He had the power to do that. And he would do that.
Maxwell prayed that Sabrina and Kazikato could stop him...They were the only hope now. Who knows how many people he would kill...if he found out.
*Ring!*
The telecom on his desk rang, He pressed a b.u.t.ton and said.
"What is it?"
[Max...]
He heard Alice"s panicked voice...and his eyes widened as he a.s.sumed the worst.
And what he a.s.sumed was correct.
[Alan has exited his meditation...]
He closed the telecom and looked up at the ceiling and cursed.
"f.u.c.k."
*****
[Alan Peccator POV.]
I...had done it. I had upgraded my world of frost to the size of a Planet. It was not a moon now...But an entire planet the size of Earth.
Satisfied, I left. I was going to consult Lanesha about the effects of Supreme Ice Dragons" breath later when I had the chance.
I was excited to see what changes had occurred to me. What would have happened to my body and my affinity to the Element of Frost?
And Soo...although I was a little too Sad to leave this place of calmness... I made up my mind and left.
It was soothing, It was comfortable to leave. I was glad that Lanesha showed me some Mercy when it came to this method now. The entire Mana storm I was expecting had not appeared.
I was thankful that I didnt have to experience that horrendous pain now.
I stopped the Mana breathing method.
And found myself once again in my room. Still covered with the runic incsriptions an my failed attempts at trying to calculate them.
I could feel that the temperature around me was low...extremely low. But there was something stopping it.
A Mana barrier...erected by a person with a lot of skill. It wasn"t harmful to me anyway.
It just stopped the spread of Ice that resulted whenever I tried the mana Breathing method.
"Awake?"
I heard a familiar voice, I knew who this was. Sabrina.
Apparently, she was here? I responded with a smile on my face as I stretched.
"Yeah!"
The training was so helpful. I just couldn"t hide my joy.
I could feel it...Although I had only advanced one Minor rank, Into C+...I could feel the energy of frost flowing within my body. Like it was my own blood.
I stood up and looked at her sitting on the couch.
"How long was I out for? And what are you doing in my room?"
Somehow...I think her voice...was off.
it was as if she was hesitating...Hiding something.
I shrugged it off. Maybe I was just feeling some aftereffects of the training.
"Three days...And I was just examining the horrible state of your room."
"Okay..? Anyways, I"m gonna go se-"
"Alan..."
She interrupted me, her voice was telling me that something was off.
"What is it?"
I asked her, Wanting to know what was wrong.
Had something major happened when I was busy training. Well, it had been 3 days...So it does make sense...Somewhat.
What had happened? Were we attacked by someone? Or Did Aror experience a ma.s.sive change or something?
Sabrina looked...Odd. It was as if she was afraid of something...?
She sighed, before standing up to look at me straight. Her hair was different. She normally had golden ends but now it was pure black.
Was that the problem?
"...It"s about Samantha, Your sister...."
As I heard her tone...I became alert. Her tone suggested that something was not quite right. Something bad.
...Had something bad happened to Samantha while I was training?
...I swear if something happened to her... I will kill, rip that b.a.s.t.a.r.d to shreds.
"What happened to her?"
I asked.
"...Well. Three days ago, when you went into meditation. Your grandmother and her went to the Mall. I went with my friends as well. A dungeon break had occurred.
Although the break was settled...The boss monster had transformed into a Chaos Being. The energy of Chaos it transmitted caused a reaction with the curse already on her body. It had grea-"
And that was it. She couldn"t complete her sentence before Alan already moved.
She couldn"t even do anything. It was as if...If she moved to stop him. She would die within a second.
He left the room riddled with incsriptions...And Sabrina could do nothing but watch...Could she help it? No.
Alan cared about his sister more than anything in the world. Anything.
...She shuddered. She didnt know what he would do.
If he did go ballistic like Maxwell said he would...Who could stop him?
In the city of Aror...There was no one she think could. Kazikato may have had a chance...But other than him who?
If Alan really did go on the worst case Scenario Ma.s.sacre like Maxwell Said, where he would stop at nothing to kill the guys that did this...No one could.
She read about Aror. No one could stop him.
As she silently stood in his room...still afraid to walk. She just prayed.
Prayed that the worst case Scenario doesn"t occur.
