Chapter 135 - Sacred Bond

Liam let Lilac and Flame watch the competition again, just in case another freak appeared and then he returned to the dimension with Caleb and Celia.

Celia said to everyone : "Liam and Caleb are going to tell all of you what happened, my baby wife come with me, I want and I need a heart to heart conversation with you."

Anaya was wondering who could have caused this kind of reaction from Celia so she followed her without saying anything and once alone she waited for Celia to start.

Celia took her in her arms and gave her a hug, she put her head in the crook of her neck and felt her scent, it was something that always calmed her down, she said : "My baby wife, you could thank Liam for this one because i will have not let you fight against this guy without him convincing me."

Anaya had her arms around her wife and she asked quite surprised by this statement : "Are you scared for me ? How strong is this fighter for you to react like this ?"

Celia sighed she told her everything : "He is truly a level ten, but what make him so powerful is that he has two powerful energy reserves inside him, one from a demon warrior and another one from the imperial phoenixes, in term of power the imperial phoenixes clan are just below Arthur's blue phoenixes clan and they can match with the Tunderbirds clan."

Anaya was chocked, it was for real, Celia truly accepted her to fight against this guy, she needed to asked her to be sure, because it was too good to be true : "My love, are you really supporting me for this fight, you won't be mad if i get hurt ?"

Celia laughed feeling helplessly : "What can i do ? Lock you down in the dimension forever ... I didn't accept it right away, Liam has promised me to protect you with Caleb and Aiden, they will intervene only if your life is threatened, and they both promised me to train you before this fight, Arthur will give us information we need on the imperial phoenixes, that's my conditions for you to fight against this guy, I hope it's good enough for you because I won't accept it otherwise."

Anaya looked in the eye of her wife, she took her face in her hands and asked her with a bright smile : "Do I really have your support my love ?"

Celia kissed her hand that was closer to her lips and said to her : "Um, you have my full support my baby wife, don't disappoint me."

Arthur provided them with all the information they needed to counter the attacks from an Imperial phoenix, all clan special attacks were physical attacks, fortunately they didn't have the same mastery over the illusions as the Thunderbirds.

They mainly used the fire element so it shouldn't be a problem for Anaya's shield.

Celia preferred to remind everyone : "Since he has two distinct energies, we cannot exclude the fact that he probably masters more than two elements, and if you ever see that his special fire attack remains on the shield a little longer than usual directly use the golden flames to neutralize it."

Anaya smiled at her and said : "I know my love, stop worrying it will be okay, guys it's time to get into training."

The day of the competition came quickly, Anaya and this guy were the only two fighters to make it through the three floors of the fourth level, so they were going to fight against each other to determine the winner of the competition, the other fighters will continue the tournament after their fight to try to win the third place.

Celia after warmly encouraging Anaya and threatening Liam and his brothers that if anything ever happened to Anaya, she will have them charred with her divine door, she remained in the bleachers next to Tal, who had returned with Onyx as promised, and Alec who hadn't really appreciated the threat against Liam.

He asked her to be sure : "Cel, if anything happens to Anaya you don't really intend to use the divine door are you ?"

Celia answered him very honestly : "If ever something happens to Anaya and I lose control over my power, the divine door can manifest itself, Anaya has already warned them against this possibility do not worry, if ever it happened it will be against my will."

Alec looked at her and said : "Why am I not feeling reassured at all ?"

Celia said to him : "Stop whining it's about to start."

Liam and his brothers surrounded Anaya and gave her the last few tips before the start of the match, she reminded them of their promise to intervene only if her life was threatened and they reminded her of Celia's threat to use the divine door if anything ever happened to her.

Everyone laughed heartily and Anaya finally told them that she had complete confidence in their judgment.

The crowd started to get excited and Aiden asked seeing a young man entering the combat ring : "Caleb, is he the other fighter who finished the fourth level ?"

Caleb turned and froze, he had just looked the young man in the eye, and the worst that could happen happened.

Caleb was silent, he couldn't seem to look away, why had this happened to him, why now, and why with him … Damn, he was so screw.

When Aiden saw that his brother was frozen and that he was looking at the young man as hypnotized, he immediately thought of this possibility even if it was extremely rare it was still a possibility.

Then he remembered that Caleb had already seen him yesterday so finally it couldn't be that, right ?

He patted his brother's shoulder and asked him : "What is it, why are you looking at him like that ?"

Caleb looked at his brother but almost immediately returned his attention to the young man, he finally answered his brother : "It is him, he is my sacred bond and he felt it too I am sure of it."

Aiden asked him not understanding : "Why didn't you realize this yesterday ?"

Caleb sighed helplessly, he put his hand behind his neck and replied : "I hadn't met his gaze yesterday."

He looked at his brother and asked him : "What the fu*k should I do ?"

Aiden pushed him towards the young man and said : "First get acquainted, go introduce yourself, I'll talk to Liam and Anaya."

Caleb hesitated he didn't know what to say, how was he supposed to introduce himself : Hey you, I m your sacred bond so from now on you are mine, nice to meet you ...

He was so damn screw ...
