Chapter 124 - The Time Reversal I: A Mystery

The man who earlier faced up against Bandis explained everything that had happened.

"And then he killed him...", he said with a low voice.

"What!?", all of them were shocked to hear whatever he told.

They could hardly even believe that someone used a Grand Tier magic according to them.

More than that, they were using the legendary teleportation spell which astonished them even more.

"You are telling me that the legendary Bandis and Zormugand were present there?", one of the masters who had gathered there asked this.

"Yes, I believe that's what sir Heidin said before his death...", the man lowered his gazes again and said this.

Everyone needs kept staring at each other after hearing this. Most of them were awed and some were puzzled after hearing this.

The main question that lingered in their mind was - 'What are those two doing there?'

Bandis and Zormugand were quite famous just like Chronos. In fact, any and all whoever was associated or affiliated with Chronos, had become famous and there were known worldwide.

Thus that was the very reason as to how they concluded that they were indeed Bandis and Zor.

All the masters were thinking hard when suddenly they heard someone speak.

"So you are telling me that those two were following some kid?", a person with a black cloak on his body and sitting in a throne asked this.

All of them bowed their heads in front of him and so did the man too.

They could clearly feel the ominous energy around the person which was quite thick. It had a huge amount of density duento which no one could stand under it.

The man was cowering in fear just by hearing his words.

"Yes... Yes master...", he said it with a shaky voice.

"Could it be...?", the person started to think about something deeply and then all of a sudden stood up and walked out of the place.

"Phew... that was close... h thought he was going to butch me alive...", the man sighed with relief.

'Could it be...? Could it be that you have come back... CHRONOS...', the person thought while looking towards the sky.

'...'

AT THE SAME TIME...

Rex already forgave Bandis and now he went back to give them the map so that they could walk towards Rhone.

He could basically teleport them in an instant, but he didn't want them to take it for granted and thus he thought that it would be best if they used their own abilities to walk all the way.

"Alright, now I'll head back...", Rex said.

All of them wanted him to stay for a bit longer because of which they lowered their gases and had a gloomy expression.

Rex noticed this. He wanted to lift the mood no matter what so he said, "Haha, I'm leaving for now, we will soon meet in Rhone..."

The moment they heard that, they lifted their gazes and had a smile on their faces.

It seemed like they were quite happy to hear that and were now ready to see Rex off.

Rex then waved his hand and so did they. It was the same for Bandis too but he looked a bit distant to them as he didn't wave back.

Rex then immediately used teleportation spell and then vanished from the location. Bandis too followed Rex and both of them arrived in their respective rooms.

'Phew, that was a bit tiresome...', Rex thought.

He then went and sat on the bed and was about to take a small nap when suddenly the door banged opened and Alex and Elina came dashing in.

"Huh? Mom? Dad?"

Both of them came with an angered expression and stood before him.

'Uhh... is it my doom?', he thought for a moment.

"Why did you leave? Where did you go?"

"What was that urgent task?"

"Why did you return so late?"

There was an influx of more than 100 questions which Rex didn't want to answer right now.

In fact he wouldn't be able to answer all of them because the questions were too twisted and if he were to reveal all of what he did, then they might geg even more worried.

"Uhhh, well actually, I was on training with Master Bandis...", Rex said.

"Ah? Master Bandis?", Alex thought.

Elina also paused momentarily.

'Come to think of it Master Bandis wasn't also there and Master Zor did say that he was out training...'

'But what is he training exactly?', Alex thought.

Alex found it hard to believe that Rex would have undergone some tough training because his clothes were as good as new.

Also, he didn't have any bruises or any marks that would indicate that he actually trained.

Rex had neglected to think about this and thus was sitting as if nothing had happened.

Alex took this opportunity to ask, "Then tell me, did you train hard?"

Rex nodded his head and agreed to what Alex asked.

'Why is he asking such a question...?", for a moment Elina was confused.

"Then, why can't I see even a little amount effort on you?"

"Huh...?", Rex lowered his gazes and took a look at himself.

There was indeed no sign of dust, nor was there any marks of training.

Though he sudnhave some muscles, that didn't expect him training for one whole day outside.

"There should be at least some dust or dirt on your clothes right?", Elina asked.

"Yes, from next time I'll apply then and return!"

"Huh?"

"Eh?"

Alex and Elina were staring at Rex awkwardly after hearing his reply.

'What the fuck am I saying?', Rex too cussed himself for blabbering anything and everything that came into his mind.

He averted his gazes and looked here and there. Just by noticing such a reaction, Elina immediately concluded that Rex was lying.

She sat down just near Rex and said, "Rex, I have faith in you that you won't lie... but if you have... please tell me the truth..."

The moment Rex heart this, it was as if his heart would have broken into thousands of pieces.

Alex noticed the sudden change in Rex's reaction just after Elina asked that.

So he too said, "Yes Rex, I'm your father, not your enemy. We are a family, tell me if you have something on your mind..."

Rex looked towards Alex and then lowered his gazes.

'That's precisely why I can't tell you... because you will keep worrying about me...', was what Rex thought.

But then again, he had decided to reveal them about this sometime soon, so now he finalised to tell them everything right now.

"Alright... then let me tell you the truth...", Rex started speaking.

Elina and Alex were suddenly hyped up to listen everything that Rex was about to say.

"The thing is... I..."

As he had just begun to say, someone knocked the door of the Room suddenly.

"Come in.", Alex said.

A maid came in and flashed a letter.

"Your highness, a Letter has arrived."

Alex and Elina Who were initially going to listen to Rex saw the emblem or seal on the letter and got immediately distracted.

"It's from the magic academy!", said Elina.

She immediately stood up and rushed to get the letter.

The maid after handing over the letter, left the Room and went.

Alex, Elina and Rex, all three of them wanted to know the contents of the letter.

They probably knew that it was written by Julia because the letter was having a good fragrance which was like that of the perfume which girl's oftenly use.

Since it takes hardly long, the letter still had the fragrance.

Elina almost immediately opened the letter in side which there was a folded piece of paper.

She unfolded it and took a look at what was written.

"It's from Juli!", she exclaimed.

Alex and Rex's eyes widened and they eagerly Waited to know what was written in the letter.

'Mama, papa, I hope you are well. It's been so long since I have written a letter.'

'I don't know how to tell but I miss you all. Every time I remember the happy moments we spent.'

Elina and Alex had tears in their eyes as the letter expressed a lot of love for them.

Rex was happy too, but not to that extent has so far nothing was written about him. But just after he thought that, he ended up being shocked when he heard Elina recite what was written next.

'But something weird has been happening to me. I don't know what this is, but I have been missing brother a lot since last few days!'

'It's as if he is close by yet far away. Also this one time I saw a bad dream where we all died leaving Rex brother behind, it saddened me, but I was happy because it was only a nightmare.'

'Well, my new semester has started. I hope you will come during to battle arena during the Grand championships.'

'Love you all, your cute ~Julia'

That was what written in the letter. Alex and Elina were extremely happy after they read that but for some reason Rex's heart was beating faster.

'Does... does she remember about what had happened before I used time reversal?', was what he thought the entire time after he heard that very thing about the nightmare.

'It can't be right.... now can she remember it?', he thought.

But then again, when he looked at his left hand at the demon God's emblem, he remembered that even the emblem didn't lose its memory.

But Rex thought that it was because the emblem was part of his body.

However now after reading Julia's message, he was confused about the spell.

'I have to know what actually happened when I used the time reversal...', he thought.
