I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot [BL]

Chapter 985: 16.31 First Red Star - Keylan and Asher Light

At the Guest's Mansion...

The Pope, Kenan Light and his two subordinates, Cardinal Darius Rueden and Cardinal Lemuel Elon were resting in their abode when Fenrir Skoll suddenly appeared in their residence holding a light orb made from the elements of light. As soon as he appeared the two Cardinals had abruptly stood up to protect their Pope. While Pope Kenan Light remains composed as he read his sutras. He was doings his daily prayers. Kenan Light would always pray before breakfast, lunch and dinner. This is one of his daily routines. It was believe that by sending a prayer to the God makes the Light Elements in Priests and Exorcists to be strong.

Whooshed!

Fenrir Skoll landed before the Pope who had his back on him while facing his own altar and started praying. Cardinal Darius Rueden and Cardinal Lemuel Elon stood before him, blocking him from approaching the Pope.

Cardinal Darius asked, "Why would the Esteemed Instructor Skoll be here at this time?"

"Please leave. The Pope is currently doing his daily prayers." Cardinal Lemuel Elon said. He might be polite but his words indicate evictions.

Fenrir Skoll looked at them coldly and an overbearing aura pressured them to the ground.

"Ants that serve a bug don't have the right to stand before this Deity."

Fenrir Skoll's cold words echoed in the area and passed by the two fallen cardinals trembling while on their knees. The murderous intent Fenrir Skoll had shown made them feel death coming over for them especially when they saw a tint of blood crimson within those obsidian irises.

Walking passed through the two guards of the Pope, Fenrir Skoll approached the praying man near the small altar for praying. He steps on the white carpet with his dirty shoes without hesitation and stares at the Pope with a cold gaze and an evil smirk at the corner of lips.

Fenrir Skoll said, "We meet again, You Holiness the Pope. But I guess this time, you will have to leave the land of Genus Academy for breaking the oath you've made."

"I wonder what part of the oath this old man had broken. I would like to ask Sire for clearance." Pope Kenan Light said

Fenrir Skoll waves the orb of light towards the Pope which stopped before his face. "You've harmed a student of the Academy. If I am not wrong you, as a guest, are forbidden to harm any children within this institution and this is regardless of their race. Not only you've harmed a student, the identity of the student is quite prestigious. Conri Lycaon, the young werewolf king of the Fenrir Race. Don't you feel embarrassed after raising a hand against someone a few hundred years younger than you are?"

Pope Kenan Light finally stood up from the praying mat and rearranged his robes gracefully and unhurriedly. It looks like he wasn't denying anything the instructor is saying before his face and turned around to meet Fenrir Skoll. A clash between platinum eyes and black irises began.

"Sir Skoll, don't you know how to impure the blood of those who aren't human?" Kenan Light said with a disdainful smile on his face.

Meanwhile, At the Human Race's Dormitories...

Esther Dawn and Asher Light were playing ancient go, when someone from the Holy Son's side had urgently come to the room of the holy son and reported something weird.

"Your Highness, the Holy Son! We got something to report! It's urgent!"

"Speak! What is so important that you would rudely barge in my place!?" Asked Asher Light.

"Your Highness! Your Holiness, the Pope has come to Genus Academy!!"

This time Esther Dawn who was quietly listening to the report was shocked together with the Holy Son, Asher Light, who stood up in disbelief.

Asher Light exclaimed, "What the hell is that old man here for!? Where is he?!"

"At the Guest Mansion in the Visitor Region. But..."

The one who brought the news hadn't finished his words yet when Asher Light hurried heads out of his room only to be stopped by Esther Dawn.

Esther Dawn said, "Your Highness! Please stop. If you leave now you can never return to Genus Academy. Those who are expelled are forbidden to re-enter this land!"

"Don't you know the problems in the head of that old man? He hates all beings except humans and treats all other relationships except for humans to humans as sin. How can he keep his hands to himself if he enters this place where other races openly walk without restrictions!?" Asher Light retorted.

Suddenly another voice was heard coming from inside the Holy Son's room.

"There is no need to come out. Your Instructor Skoll would send him away as he broke an oath for a guest to stay. Stay in your room and obediently finish your punishment. The rules of Genus Academy cannot be broken as long as Instructor Skoll and Headmaster Cassius are here."

Asher Light and Esther Dawn turned their heads with haste and saw a young priest in white robe. The same shade of gold of his hair and eyes were the same as Asher Light and had a gentle smile on his holy looking face. Those who met his eyes fell asleep as they were put in some kind of spell. The Priest who came to report to the Holy Son fell asleep on the floor while Esther Dawn held his head feeling a bit groggy while keeping his consciousness awake. On the other hand, Asher Light was completely unaffected.

Keylan Light came to visit Asher Light personally, "You must be Asher Light. Let this old man introduce himself. I am the founder of Templar Temple, Kenan Light." Then glances at Esther Dawn who can barely keep his mind awake in the presence of Keylan Light's spell.

"Not bad..no wonder you become an Archbishop at such a young age but... you don't know how to use the other half of your bloodline."

Flinched!

Esther Dawn questioned, "What are you talking about?"

"Unfortunately, I only have business with your Holy Son. Sleep, child." Keylan Light said as he put Esther Dawn in forced sleep.

The fluctuation of light elements in the room made Asher Light on guard yet he couldn't completely hide his astonishment at the scene of Light Elements dancing around this young Priest who called himself the founder of the Templar Temple.

Asher Light as the Holy Son knew the appearance of the founder and as far as he knew that person's appearance was exactly as the one in front of him. But that is supposedly impossible, how many centuries had passed since the founding of the Templar Temple. Even his master, who was taken in by the founder, was only a child at that time. Is it possible for a human not to age like this after such a long time? Isn't longevity something the vampires have?

Keylan Light knew that the young man before him was dumbfounded by his appearance. There is no way that a disciple of his wouldn't show any painting or photo of him. He is quite sure that the lad recognizes him as he suddenly turns meek.

"Aren't you gonna greet me?" Asked Keylan Light.

Asher Light fell on his knee and said, "This little one greets the Founder!"

"Hm~ you are better than that stupid disciple of mine. There is no greed in your eyes yet there is deep yearning and forbearance. What is it that you yearn for as a child? Why is it that you choose to restrain the pureness of your light elements?" Keylan Light asked.

Asher Light was reluctant. He didn't know if he could truly trust the person before himself. He wanted to remain silent until the former decided to give up waiting for his answers.

Keylan Light spoke, "Did you know how your master is able to retain his youth even though he is almost 200 years old?"

"I don't know. But he said the more pure and strong the light elements are, the more we age slowly." Asher Light said.

"Smart kid. Then I ask you, are the light elements in your body inexhaustible?"

"No. According to ordinary disciples and members of the Templar Temple only those who had special physique are capable of replenishing their aura with prayers as they got divine blessings on them. Master and I among the rest have such a blessing while the rest don't. They can only awaken a bit of true prayers. If God is listening to them you would be lucky to have weird light elements." Asher Light said.

A smile appeared on Keylan Light's face making look even more holy and ascetic. "Don't you know there is another way? You only need to suck out someone else's light element including their life force to extend yours~"

"What do you want to say?" Exclaimes Asher Light as he thought of a possibility he didn't want to believe in.

Keylan Light asked, "Child, how old do you think your master is? How come he can look so young for at most two centuries? How many disciples of his had died? Have you ever wondered why you don't have any younger junior brothers or young looking senior brothers?"

The Holy Son looks like he learned the end of the world, there is disbelief, rejection, pain and hints of feeling betrayed.

"You should be careful. You are the strongest among the young generation. Ah there is also that kid called Esther. He is not bad himself. I gave you the warning. You can see me in the small church in the Academy. Your girl knows where it is." Keylan Light jumped out of the window and disappeared in front of the Holy Son.

The moment Keylan Light disappeared those who had fallen asleep had all woken up. They felt groggy and held their heads as if someone had hit them from the back of his head.

Esther Dawn said as he covered his mouth, "Arg! What the hell...? Hm? Your highness, are you alright!? Isn't that man the young priest in that chapel before?!"

Asher Light remained silent for a while and looked at his subordinate who came to report about the events in the Genus Academy while he was in suspension.

"There is no need to worry about the Pope. That person said that Instructor Skoll would send him away tonight. Is there anything else you need to report?" Asher Light asked.

"Ah! Yes, Your Highness. They said that the young werewolf king, Conri Lycaon, was brought to the school infirmary in his Beast form. It was said he was found wounded and unconscious on a human girl."

"That... Might be his Holiness' doing. Hm? On a human girl you say... Don't tell me... she is...!!!" Shouted Asher Light.

"Yes, it was Miss Amber Dawn. It looks unintentional but he indeed fell on her."

BAM!

The Holy Son destroyed the table near where he is seated. Esther Dawn and the other subordinate turned mute at such rage. Asher Light tried to calm his raging emotions but he could hardly do so.

Sigh!!

Asher Light said, "Esther. Don't stay here to protect me. Make sure to stay with Amber and never leave her alone with Conri Lycaon!"

"As you wish, your highness, the Holy Son." Responded Esther Dawn
