Chapter 595 I made a small mistake

Kyle froze and stared into Alec's eyes. The grip on his arm tightened, and before he could comprehend the situation, the man holding him raised his other hand and struck his chest with force.

Carcel's eyes widened when he saw Kyle being thrown backward in mid-air by Alec. He looked at Alec in disbelief, preparing to ask why he attacked. His words were stuck in his throat when he watched Alec float towards the shadow generals.

"Huh?"

The blue-haired man positioned himself in front of the two shadow generals he was supposed to take down.

Then he raised his sword toward Carcel, and that's when the golden-haired man finally noticed Alec's vacant gaze.

A shuddering breath escaped Carcel's mouth as dark energy began enveloping one of Alec's hands under his gaze. Then a dark petal, pulsating with eerie energy, emerged on the back of his hand.

In the distance, Kyle stopped his body in mid-air and slowly gazed down at his chest where Alec's punch had landed. His pure white shirt, which had remained unscathed throughout the entire second round of Gladiator Arena, was torn, revealing a glaring mark on his cold skin.

A wisp of icy smoke slipped from his lips as his already cold body grew even colder. Under his intense gaze, the dark mark on his chest quickly healed, leaving behind swathes of rejuvenated skin.

"What just happened?"

The voice that escaped from his lips differed greatly from the ones he had been using around his friends. Additionally, the faint smile that always lingered at the corners of his lips after meeting Yue and the others vanished entirely, giving way to a blank, emotionless expression.

He gently brushed his chest and gazed at Alec, who floated before the shadow generals in a defensive stance.

"What happened to you?"

Ceano raised his brow with a hint of mockery reflecting in his golden eyes.

"Mistake? Of course you did. Now your friend, who is under my control, has his life in my hands. He would fight you to the end at my bidding. So, I reckon you're regretting tangling with me and Will. But as the one in charge here, I might let it slide if you get down on your knees to beg me and..."

A paper filled with intricate symbols materialized in his palm.

He had witnessed Kyle's impressive abilities through all the human had shown. Thus, he intended to transform him into a follower of the dark side, and if the human refused, he could always make him meet his end by his own friend's hands.

"Join the dark side."

A vein bulged on his forehead when Kyle didn't even glance his way and had his eyes fixed on the blue-haired man. Ceano laughed and glanced at Alec. Immediately, dark energy slipped out from his fingers.

"Go and fight them both, but don't kill them because I will end their lives."

Alec blinked, his eyes clouded with haze. The sharp, pounding pain in his head left him disoriented and suffocated. However, as Ceano's words echoed in his ears, he swiftly sprang into action and attacked Carcel, who was closest to him.

A loud tremor reverberated through the air as his sword clashed with Carcel's spear, who skillfully blocked the attack but was still pushed back slightly in mid-air.

The golden-haired man yelled at him to regain his senses, but it seemed as though Alec couldn't hear him. He kept attacking relentlessly without saying a word.

Carcel gritted his teeth. He was unable to harm Alec, knowing the shadow generals had influenced him. Why else would Alec attack his own friends? So, he focused on deflecting the man's strikes while trying to make Alec snap out of whatever spell the shadow generals had cast on him.

Kyle glanced at the two men locked in combat. He caught sight of Ceano and Will closing in on him from the corners of his eyes. A tired sigh escaped his lips.

"Did you truly believe that if you could control one of us, you won? How naive."Findd new stories on nov/e(l)bin(.)com
