Chapter 218: Struggle for Dominance (Part-2)

After Ava left with Carlos.

King Danlit's displeased expression was fully visible on his face upon seeing the reaction of his daughter and looked at his son Antonio with questioning graze.

Knowing that his son and daughter are really open hearted with each other instead of their parents.

"Antonio, do you know anything? Why was Ava reacting like that and who is this old man for whom goodwill, she is so anxious and left in a hurry."

Antonio hesitated because his father has been king for two centuries and has developed a natural instinct of detecting lies and finding out the truth.

He tried to look calm but his heartbeat was increasing at a rapid rate under his father's graze and the aura of the king he was emitting.

Cursing in his heart,'Why did the elder sister have to open up her secret yesterday?.

Having no choice, he replied with a thin smile.

"Father, the old man is the caretaker of the old unknown god temple near the slum. I think you have heard about it also. It is very famous and is called the temple of God of slaves among the common masses."

Elizabeth looked at her son and looked at his husband who nodded his head upon listening to his son and observed the food which was slowly turning cold.

She wanted to tell them to stop discussing these things. While they were eating; but she was also interested and was also surprised by the intense reaction by her daughter.

Suddenly, the ruined face of her beautiful and talented daughter floated inside her head and felt bitter. She cannot understand, why does her daughter have to suffer like this? at such a young age.

Listening to the entire story, King Danlit frowned. He cannot understand how her daughter became close friends with an ordinary person with no background. Even though his son had not told him. He can detect that he is trying to hide something.

Queen Elizabeth also disappointed in knowing that her daughter was his friend with a low class individual. Instead, she should make friends with people from high class society.

It was obvious that they looked down upon ordinary citizens and their lifestyle and considered themselves superior.

Yet, Ava and Antonio didn't think like that as they continued their breakfast with Ava.

Antonio was still worried about his elder sister. Seeing her reaction, he can see that she still has feelings for the old man he had never met.

[Servants Residential House]

Ava arrived with Carlos and found Evaron laying down on the bed but his condition looked worse than it was described by Carlos.

He looked like a dried up corpse with white vapour rising from his body, his previous paper brown skin had turned bright red like it was on fire.

The temperature of the room was so high that the maids had to leave the room. Not being able to do anything and observe from the sideline.

Carlos dismissed them as they went away.

Princess Ava was also confused and cannot understand what is going on with her friend's body because instead of feeling any sign of death. She can hear the sound of breath as well as a low heart beat rate as his life force expands. It was vibrant like a young man in his teens when she had first met him.

Suddenly an ill dark red colour aura started to rise from Evaron's body slowly.

Both Carlos and Ava were astonished on feeling the nature of the aura, which they were very familiar with due to their experience in fortline war with Demonic Alliance.

'Demonic power.'

Which is very harmful for humans due to its destructive nature and usually only demonic creatures and demon clan members possess it. Which can only mean that a person must have a demonic bloodline to possess demonic power.

Power of destruction, which is the bloodline ability of the Astral demon clan, is also one type of demonic power born out of a mutation of demonic power.

"Princess, what is the identity of this old man? How come he has a demonic bloodline and judging from its intensity, it's an ancient rank demonic bloodline."

Ava didn't know what to say? She really didn't know that Evaron had a demonic bloodline flowing in his veins and what has suddenly triggered it's awakening. One must understand that demonic creatures and the human race never had good relationships or they would not be fighting with each other.

"If father finds out, he will definitely kill him."

Getting no response from the princess, Carlos didn't know what to do? His duty as members of the human race was to kill all demonic races as they are considered arch enemies of the human race and according to historical texts most humans during the chaotic era have died in their hands and that hate still continues with human bloodline.

Yet, he also can't take back his promise to the princess of taking care of the old man.

Slowly under effect of the demonic bloodline, Evaron's body started to transform into a demon as his hands turned into claws and teeth into fangs, small horns started to appear.

The old skinny body started to become muscular.

Ava was not able to her friend and former love turning into a demon as she turned away and heard the sound of Carlos.

"Princess, what should I do? Should I kill him."

Her body trembled and with a painful expression looked at Evaron who was slowly going through a demonic transformation.

She didn't want him to see him in this condition nor did she want to kill him.

Carlos again looked at the Princess who was hesitating and made a discussion on his own.

Which was best for the human kind and was really to kill him.

When suddenly the situation took an unknown confusing turn.

A black starry light flame with imperial aura suddenly started rising from Evaron body suppressing the demonic bloodline cancelling the ongoing transformation and turning him back to his human form.

Both Carlos and Ava felt a feeling of suppression from their bloodline and were dumbfounded. Because they knew the origin of these flames and what they represent.

'Astral Flame Bloodline.'

'How is this possible? This is the bloodline of the imperial family of the Astral flame Empire. If I remember correctly, the only person who has this bloodline and is alive is the current empress of the Astral flame Empire after the death of her mother.'

Ava also can't get how Evaron has this bloodline because one have to become a magic Emperor for their later generations to inherit the blessings of constellation with all its power but the rank of bloodline will go down with generation unless that person also because magic emperor and Evaron bloodline was a peak imperial rank bloodline meaning he is directed descent of that person and she cannot think of anyone aside from Astal Flame Empress, the strongest female magic Emperor of human race who disappeared one thousand years ago.

"Evaron is somehow related to her."

As a female cultivator, she had always admired the astral flame Empress who was one of the founding members of human alliance and had protected the human race.

Astral flame bloodline was the bloodline of the human race and refused to exist within the same body with a demonic bloodline and attracted aggressively to eliminate it.

Ava was happy to see astral bloodline winning and out of her expectations stopped it's attack on demonic bloodline as it was afraid of something.

The demonic bloodline also didn't dare to move forward.

Carlos and Ava were doubtful seeing the black starry flame and demonic bloodline occupying half left and half right side of Evaron body respectively.

Out of their expectations, a third bloodline manifests its presence before them.

As it rose from between Evaon eyebrows, it was a pure white aura with undying fighting will and another worldly saintly presence.

Unlike aggressive Astral flame bloodline and Demonic bloodline, this bloodline was gentle and calm. Yet, the other two bloodlines didn't dare to act before it and stopped their action like they were surrendering to it might.

This unknown bloodline caused Ava and Carlos bloodline who feel fear and suppression.

They knew what it meant.

Saint bloodline and that's also of human origin.

Carlos was screaming in his heart.

'Just who the heck is this person? How can he have these many bloodlines? An ancient demonic bloodline, Human race imperial rank Astral flame bloodline. Now, an unknown Saint bloodline are you really a normal citizen of Theothia Kingdom or a hidden talent of a super powerful family.'

Yet, astonishingly this bloodline didn't try to destroy the other two bloodlines and instead was willing to live with them as bloodline manifestation slowly started to fade away.

Just when he thought everything was over, golden runes started to appear covering his entire body.

Evaon body which was rapidly ageing started to revert back, returning him to his teenager day and stopped.

This power represented the origin bloodline but they were not even able to feel the mystery and its nature before it faded away.

Carlos and Ava stood there with blank expression for a moment, waiting if something else is going to happen.

After all, they have already been surprised three times and it seems like God was merciful to not give them any more heart racing experience as they took a long breath while closing their eyes.

Upon opening their eyes, they found Evaron standing before them.

Looking into their eyes with his deep black eyes which seems to have power to devour their very existence and heard a gentle whisper in their ears.

"I hope you guys don't tell anybody. What has happened today, otherwise you will regret it for life."

Both Carlos and Ava's bodies turned cold because they felt a strong killing intent within Evaron's eyes.

Both nodded their heads without hesitation.

Evaron smiled and said with a gentle tone.

"Then please wait for me outside the residence, I will meet you there. Before that I need to take a bath again and wear new clothes. These clothes are ruined by excessive sweat."

Person like Carlos who had taken part in many wars and killed people and can be considered a veteran was astonished by the killing aura around Evaron body which can only be gained after killing at least thousands of people.

After Evaron left, Carlos looked at Ava with curiosity

"Princess, just who is this person? Where did he come from?"

Ava shook her head,"I myself don't know anymore?"

She really was confused. The person whom she had known for the last fifty years suddenly had turned into a complete stranger.

"Maybe I have never known him from the beginning after all I never tried to learn more about him. Although I kept telling myself I love him but are never meant to live together."

Remembering the current young appearance of Evaron and her ruined face hidden under the hood. For the first time she felt the need of her formal beautiful face.
