Rise of the Malactric Heir



After the mouth of the beast covered his entire body and attack, a dim red and orange light surrounded him and the others looked at each other then at her, a smirk appeared on Adora's face as her eyes lit up brightly and Ifrit's brows furrowed.

An explosion occurred within the beast's mouth and Adora jumped back as smoke surrounded the area, the energy released from the explosion shook Kyris's barrier and he looked at it then glanced at the smoke and Alix's eyes narrowed.

"Well, it's not like I didn't know, she is strong," Alix said as Adora emerged from the smoke.

They glanced at her then she sighed as it disappeared along with any trace of the guy.

The others looked at her then she looked at them and the barrier from around them disappeared because Kyris had removed it.

"You okay?" Ifrit asked.

"Yeah, I am fine," she responded before exhaling deeply.

"Did you kill him?" Aerav asked and she glanced at them.

"You should know the answer to that after what just happened, Aerav," she responded.

"I see," Aerav said.

"Listen, this time, it doesn't matter whether you want to kill or not, you know this fight will not end without bloodshed, ours and theirs, the battlefield is a dark place, what you do is your choice, from here on out," Adora said.

"It would be naive to think you can stop this fight without having to kill others, if you are not ready to kill, the battlefield is not for you, it's either that or you lose your life without even being able to do anything to stop the enemy."

"She is right, the battlefield is a dark place and it's now at our front door, whatever you do on it, will probably follow you for the rest of your life, but if it's the right thing you did and you know it, just shove it aside and move forward, true, every life is important, but, if you wish to protect those you love as well as the other innocent lives that would be caught up in the mess, you have to be willing to do many things, this is reality, not everything is a bed of roses," Alix added.

The others left staring at Alix after hearing what he said then a gentle smile appeared on Dral's face and Adora exhaled deeply and Alix glanced at them.

"I understand, in fact, we understand, you are both right about everything, we have to do this, or else everything might be lost, at least it's better to fight than just sit back and let things happen, like a coward," Aerav said and Alix smiled at him and he grinned then Ayden patted him on his shoulder.

"I have to say, well said, both of you, you are both right, the battlefield is quite a dark place, it can shatter your very soul, but as long as you are willing to keep on fighting, I am sure you will be able to push forward, I am a little surprised, despite being so young, you guys are great, have a good understanding about how things in this world work," Dral said and they smiled at him then he exhaled deeply.

"Thank you," Alix replied and Dral nodded, then Adora approached the hole within the ceiling of the underground building and she glanced at the tree then sighed.

"Kyris, please take us back down," Adora said and he bowed his head, then nodded and everyone entered within the magical ball, he created and he took them back within the building and everyone landed in front of the tree.

After getting out of the magical ball, Adora and the others looked around at the little bit of mess that was caused due to the fight earlier and both Alix and Adora sighed then Yaron chuckled as he glanced at them.

"We are sorry about this," Adora and Alix said at the same time.

Dral laughed at them and both of them left staring at him, wondering what he found so funny.

"You two really are something else, don't worry, it will get fixed eventually, there is no bad damage, am I right Yaron?" Dral asked and Yaron nodded.

"He is right, this place survived a lot as well, this was nothing, it will be repaired on its own, there is no need to apologize for anything," Yaron responded and Dral shrugged.

"If you say so," Alix said and they smiled at them, then looked up at the sky and sighed as Adora looked at the time.

"Well, it will be night soon so I would like to get this over with as soon as possible, I have one very important thing to tell you guys as well, one that sort of matters the most as well, one that I am sure you were all eager to hear ever since you began listening to the stories that were told so far," Adora said as they exchanged glances with smiles on their face then Adora glanced at Dral.

"I understand, I know that the time has come as well, I will help with them understanding, I will help to explain certain parts piece by piece, go ahead and do what you must do, you are closer," Dral replied and Adora sighed at him.

"Adora, his wounds are now healed but he still needs to rest more, he has to avoid straining himself too much," Kyris said as he got up then helped Dral up and Myalis exhaled deeply.

'It's good to see that you are okay," Alix said.

"Thank you, it's all thanks to you guys, who knows what might have happened if you couldn't do what you did," I will not overdo it," Dral replied and Adora smiled at him.

She looked at the tree as it began glowing a bit more and the others turned around to look at it as well, while wondering what was going on and Adora got closer to her then he glanced at her.

"I had to tell you who the Malactric heir is and he was here with us all along, the name of the last heir is Alix," Adora said.

Alix left staring at her and she glanced at him and both of their eyes glowed red at the same time.
