Chapter 125: The response he wanted

Axel answered him honestly : "At the beginning it was rather the opposite, as soon as he saw Erik, he found an excuse and left immediately, but Erik's perseverance ended up paying off and Alan gradually let himself be seduced by him.

He eventually got used to his presence and after a while he even came to see him training and cheer him on.

I can't remember exactly when they first started dating, but after that, Alan became even more possessive and protective of him.

This kind of exchange is something we have all gotten used to witnessing, and when you are single it's a lot less fun than when you are in couple.

Their relationship have given to Erik some hard time though, the other fighters were jealous of him, Alan after all is one of the best mages of his generation and he is handsome.

But even after being put aside by the other fighters and ignored by the instructors, he still continued to be kind to everyone and he trained even harder, I respect him a lot for that and I'm glad you got along so well."

Seeing that Kevin had frowned when he had mentioned that Erik had been put aside he had preferred to reassure him : "Don't worry babe, finally Erik's kindness and his relentless training allowed him to make very good friends among the fighters."

Kevin nodded in relief, after finding out about Erik's past and with what Axel had just told him, he understood better why the only trigger for him to reach the Warrior Spirit skill was Alan.

He would have to find some time during their training to have a serious conversation with him, and if he really wanted to develop that skill or just stay at the first stage which was the combat intelligence skill.

Kevin then got up and he went to kneel in front of their phoenix egg, he put his hand on the egg and caressed it gently, the lava stones around him were still of an orange red color so there was nothing more he could do for him at the moment.

He got up and Axel, who had followed him and who had stayed behind him, made him regained his senses by taking his right hand and kissing his palm tenderly, he suddenly said to him : "We didn't have time to talk about it yet babe, but I would like to know if you would like to have children with me ? Have you thought about it yet ?"

Kevin blushed, of course he had thought about it, he asked him instead, feeling a little shy about it : "Do you want children with me ?"

Axel's smile brighten and he said to him : "Of course I want children with you, but maybe not right now, let's wait and see how it goes with our baby phoenix first, that will give us a good training for our own children."

Just when Axel mentioned their own children, Kevin instinctively put a hand on his stomach, he still couldn't believe that if he wanted to, he could really bear their children, it was something he never thought would be possible, this world was definitely full of surprises.

Axel saw his reaction and he put his hand on the one Kevin had placed on his stomach, he could understand that it was quite a shocking news, but he really hoped Kevin would want to have children with him.

Kevin seeing that Axel was still waiting patiently for his answer, but without rushing him, decided to be honest with him : "I also want to have children with you ... But not as long as there is a threat hanging over our heads."

Axel then asked him : "Do you mean 'your uncle' ?"

Kevin just nodded and that's when Axel just remembered that Alan had told him something important and he immediately shared it with Kevin : "Maybe there is something else babe … Alan told me that when you were fighting against the Elite Warrior Vampire a golden symbol appeared on your forehead, he said to me that it was important but that he would tell us about it when you get better."

Kevin looked at him startled and repeated : "Did a golden symbol really appear on my forehead ? I didn't know ..."

Axel nodded and said to him : "Apparently it would be related to your Warrior Spirit skill, because it has immediately disappeared when you have passed out."

Kevin decided that he would ask Alan about it tomorrow when they would meet, and he ended up asking Axel, completely changing the topic : "What were you doing with Erik though ? Why did you go out and why did it take you so long to change the magical crystal ?"

Axel smirked, definitely nothing escaped to his man ... Since he had gotten the response he wanted, and that Kevin was okay with giving birth to their children as long as he felt safe, he would make sure that this world would be a safe one for him, no matter what the threat would be, he swore to eliminate it.

Axel took him in his embrace, and he said to him : "I have prepared a little surprise for you, and Erik gave me a hand to prepare it for you ... Come, I will show you babe."

......

Mykael couldn't believe it, when he saw that his son had changed the magical crystal and put a much more powerful one in its place, he had waited patiently for the right moment to pay them a little visit and help his precious gift, meaning the phoenix, to get even stronger.

He had been waiting for the moment when his son and son-in-law would both be distracted by their friend's departure to create a vortex that would allow the phoenix to tap into the fire and light particles that he needed to become more powerful, but of course he should have known that his son-in-law would realize it.

Damn it, he had hoped that the fact that he could detect him even with an energy shield around him was only when he was unconscious, but apparently he had once again underestimated him.

He couldn't help to be impressed by him, just when he had stopped to open the vortex that would allow the phoenix to tap into the fire and light particles, his son-in-law had thrown his dagger at him and with a precision that stupefied him.

Fortunately for him, his son-in-law was still weak for the moment, all his movements, even if he could seem fast to the others, were like playing in slow motion for him.
