The Divine Elements

“Damn this kid, he nearly kills himself the very moment I leave his side.”

Calron grunted to himself after stopping the flow of source energy to Rebran.

To be fair, you never warned him exactly how dangerous this legacy was.

Ezkael interjected, as he materialised next to his student.

After months of not coming out in the open, Calron could finally detect some striking changes within his Teacher’s appearance.

No longer was his body obscure and smoky, and traces of his Teacher’s actual form could be seen through the dark mist. If the previous Ezkael was more like a ghost, then his current form was more akin to a semi-solid body of a man.

“Teacher… your…”

Calron gaped at the appearance of his Teacher.

“I’ll explain later. By the way, you think she will be alright?”

Ezkael brushed off Calron’s amazement with his current form, and instead gazed at the hut behind them.

“I don’t know… but I reall – Come out, whoever you are!”

Calron abruptly stopped mid-sentence and shouted towards his right, while sparks of lightning cracked around his fingertips.

“Hahaha, impressive! Only at the Vajra stage, and yet you were able to locate my presence. I was wondering who this talented person was that had managed to completely put my plans into disarray.”

A smooth and silky voice echoed in the distance, as a graceful red-haired woman sensually walked towards Calron.

Adorned in an equally bright red dress, the woman’s features would easily put her as one of the most beautiful women that Calron had ever seen. However, the closer she got to him, the greater a sense of danger began to evoke inside of him.

RUN.

He felt the same fear that he did back when he was eight years old, and the three assassins were trying to kill him. He was helpless back then, and this same feeling arose at this moment while the red-haired woman continued to draw closer.

“Such a handsome young man… and a human no less! I wonder how you got so deep into the Desolate Mountains without anyone discovering you. I’ll forgive you for interrupting my plans, if you tell me your secret.”

The woman laughed seductively, her emerald eyes boring into Calron and freezing his heart still.

Her plans were merely postponed for the time due to the sudden intervention of one of the Elders, but Calron had not truly affected them. The red-haired woman was simply curious as to how a human could manage to enter a beast city within the Desolate Mountains.

Plans? When did I ruin her plans?

Calron frantically thought, as he desperately tried to move away from his location. Even his mental connection with Ezkael seemed to be broken.

He tried yelling to alert the old racoon inside, but discovered to his horror that no sounds came out from his throat.

“No one will disturb us… Just stand still and let your mind be taken over by me…”

The red-haired woman whispered into Calron’s ear from behind, while softly brushing his chest with her hands.

Gradually, one of her hands slowly traveled towards his neck and started to creep near his ears.

NO!

Caron had an uncanny feeling that if he let this dangerous creature into his mind, his very existence would cease to remain.
