Chapter 204 Kaide Asura
"I am not lying; I indeed know someone from your clan. Some 16-year old young man whose name is Zaith Asura."
"What?! Impossible!"
"Why do you say that?" Arthur asked.
"That name...should be the name of my 3 month old baby."
"Huh??"
"That's why I said it's impossible. My son should...be dead by now. There isn't a way he survived and even if he did.."
"...he can't be some sixteen year old kid."
"But I do know of a boy named Zaith Asura. I have also confirmed that he indeed has the Asura caln bloodline, morever he should be the cure host..." Arthur stopped here.
"You know about our clan's secret?" The man was shocked.
"It isn't much of a secret to those who know the history of that being."
"I see. I was never qualified to be the host of that being even though I was the Young Master of the clan and had the supposed purest bloodline in a thousand years."
"But, if he is really the host then...this changes everything." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Why?" Arthur asked curiously.
But the man shook his head, "I can't tell you why, but all I can say is that there is a possibility that the person you saw is indeed my son."
"This... I might need your help," he said.
"But first let me introduce myself."
"I am Kaide Asura, the previous clan head of the Asura Clan from 100,000 years ago."
Arthur nodded and replied, "I am Arthur Hartfield..."
Kaide nodded and said, "Can you help me deliver someone to this person?"
"Sure, I can. I and Zaith can even be considered a bit of friends. But the guy is always looking stern so you can never tell," Arthur shrugged.
Arthur stood on the battlefield, facing a man who claimed to be Kaide Asura.
"I see," Kaide nodded and sighed.
"Since that is the case, take this..."
A rune condensed in Kaide's palm and he walked towards Arthur and asked.
"Do you have any item that is used to imprint arrays?"
"You don't need to know as you will definitely stop here," she spoke coldly.
'Why did her tone change all of a sudden?' Arthur was taken aback.
But how could he have known that the girl was very competitive and often felt unhappy about being triumphed by that weirdo.
'Hmph! Who says I am weaker than him. If we could face each other now I will trash him like an ant!' she thought.
*Shing!*
A symbol appeared on her forehead and an ethereal power flowed out of her.
"You're a spirit master?" Arthur was surprised yet again.
"So you are not ignorant, that's good," she smiled again.
She was not just a martial artist but also a spirit rune master, a unique variant of rune masters that could create runic arrays that are very life-like in the shape of spirit beasts and humanoid spirits by connecting with an astral constellation array.
But the girl, unlike the previous opponents, was talkative.
She asked Arthur if he knew of her existence, hinting that she might still be alive unlike the others.
"Have you heard of the Spirit Empress?"
"Never heard of it," Arthur admitted.
"That's impossible, how can you not have heard of me? Wait, did I change my title? No, I swore to use that title."
She then sighed, "I suppose remnants of me could still linger in this small world."
"Or maybe you are just uninformed. Tell me, which territory are you from?" She asked.
"The southern continent," Arthur replied, interested in talking more to get some information.
But the girl was a cunning fox and sensed Arthur's intent and smiled.
"The times have changed indeed. Now, let's fight."
As they conversed, the peaceful discussion took a turn into a challenging battle.
She summoned beasts formed from spirit runes, and to Arthur's surprise, there were hundreds of them.
'How much spirit power does she have?!' Arthur exclaimed in his heart.
But he wasn't afraid.
"I guess it's time for this technique of mine to make its debut," Arthur smirked.
In response, Arthur released a vibrant five-colored flame.
"What is that?" The girl questioned as she sensed danger from the flame.
