Chapter 649: Murder Attempt By An Ancient One!

“Rise, young one,” the man said to him, the usual hint of playfulness that he had in the meeting previously having faded away, now filled with the respectfulness of an elder towards a younger one.

“You may wonder why you have been sent here, and instead of just forcing you to do my will, let me explain to you….”

“Explain after it has been proven. We don’t have all day to explain to an accursed one!” The harsh voice was from none other than Morana, the dark ancient one, cutting off the man who wanted to explain something to him.

“Ok, then. After the test, hopefully, he proves us wrong…” he said with a sigh before turning to look at Zeras, his eyes telling.

“Come forward!” He beckoned as Zeras slowly walked towards them, and Morana and the icy ancient monster stretched forth their hands towards him.

‘If I hold it, I’ll complete the spell? But just what is this even about?’ Zeras said, looking at the hands stretched forth.

He knew well if he took it, he could have formed a complete circle, resulting in something he had no idea of.

Yet even though he was supposed to ask what this was all about, Zeras stretched his hands forward beyond his own conscious will and took their hands. Immediately, all the muscles in his body partly paralyzed as he felt an intense death aura enter through his left hand while an intense icy feeling spread through his left side, rendering him immobile.

“Odyssey Of The Revealing Epitome. A thousand passed into one, a redirection of life passed on one. Soul Art Of Niagara, Inner Epitome revelation…” the man chanted, and immediately an otherworldly light burst through the entire hall, brimming with an otherworldly aura as Zeras turned, looking around the room, yet he couldn’t find the source of the light.

Turning to look at the three elders, his eyebrows creased when he saw the look of horror flashing in their eyes as they looked at him.

“What’s wrong?”

“Look at yourself,” he said as Zeras turned to look at himself and even his own face changed. Right now, he was oozing with two strange lights just like them. The first was a pitch dark light, even darker than the one Morana was oozing with, and the other was a bright golden light brimming with power and incredible conviction.

“Tch, I know you’re a vile spawn of that bastard. To hell with you!” The roar came incredibly sudden as an apocalyptic aura burst out from Morana, slamming on Zeras with full power, and immediately, he was sent tumbling across the hall, roughly smashing into the ground before finally slamming on the wall.

“What the!?”

BLEEEEERRRGH.

Dark blood splashed out of Zeras’s mouth as he felt an intense death aura oozing out from it, and immediately his face changed.

‘She did it again! Second time!’

“You deserve to die!” The roar came from the distance as he saw Morana running towards him. Zeras prepared to summon his rings while unsheathing his sword, yet he saw Morana suddenly stick in her running position, unable to move.

“You dare to stop me, Rowan!” Morana roared in anger as she snapped her predator-like gaze behind her where the figure of the man could be seen, one of his hands stretched forward towards her, resulting in Morana pausing in the air, unable to move.

“What a strange law? Almost like he froze her in time, yet it seems even more complicated than that…” Zeras mused to himself, looking blankly at Morana who was stuck in the air, and he couldn’t help but sheath back his sword.

If the man can easily freeze such a person, then he could do the same to him without even blinking.

“Killing him would do no good. It would be a waste of life, and a vile curse that you would not be able to wipe out from your name!”

“My name has long been torn apart after what his bastard of a mother did to me two hundred years ago. Let me be cursed by the nine heavens if they wish. I will rip him apart for the pain that was inflicted on me two hundred years ago!” She roared out like a deranged beast, a growling sound ringing from her lips as she stared at Zeras with the murderous eyes that had never been directed at anyone.

From her, Zeras could sense incredible hate and murderous intent. She was like a beast that was ready to give its life away just to make sure he was dead.

But suddenly the snow-white ancient monster appeared beside her, her lips moving to her ears.

“Don’t you dare use your accursed spell on me, Luna!” Morana yelled, yet it fell on deaf ears as Luna’s lips parted beside her ears.

“Calm down!” she said into her ears and in the next instant, Morana’s murderous intent faded away like nothing and she sat down blankly, her eyes regaining their color as she looked at Zeras silently.

“Thanks for the help, Luna. Morana is quite troublesome to handle. And I’m glad you can think calmly…” Rowan said as Luna turned her frosty gaze towards Zeras before slowly she shook her head and took her gaze away from him, disappointment evident in her eyes before she turned to look at Rowan.

“Will you let him live?” she asked as Rowan turned to look at Zeras before nodding his head.

“He might be her son, but he is not her. He did not deserve to die, not in our own hands. To kill the son of one of our disciples, that is not something I can let our sect bear the curse of….” Rowan said with conviction.

“Morana will kill him in a blink next time she sights him. And not even a god will be able to stop her!” Luna said with more than enough surety as Rowan nodded.

“I know. That is why he would be leaving the sect now, and never ever to be sighted here again!”

“What!!!?”
