Devorah is the founder's only living daughter and is considered the oldest surviving Arcana Master on the planet; filled with vast knowledge and wisdom gathered over one hundred thousand years, every little action of hers had a deep meaning. Suspecting or questioning her actions is akin to a grave sin.
Or atleast, that's what Qridus believed so far.
Hence, even after learning that the humanoid monster he was familiar with for a while was actually none other than Knull herself, Qridus didn't question her.
Seeing his successor summoning his Arcana spirits in a way that indicates a battle, Qridus got incredibly angry.
He didn't hesitate to use his demigod aura to pressure Azzy while ensuring others weren't affected, "Stand down, Azrael."
Little did he expect Azzy to stand without feeling an ounce of pressure on his soul. Instead, he would stare back at his ancestor, whom he was also unhappy with. "Ancestor, is there something wrong with you? I was merely introducing my Arcana Spirits?" He furrowed his brows in displeasure.
Qridus' frown deepened, "I can sense killing intent in your Arcana spirit. You planned to attack Lord Knull." The others were taken aback by Qridus' accusations.
"Vajra has Anti-divine energy. His killing intent is displayed against every kind of monster. Meanwhile, Lux hates Vajra as it bonded to my soul against its will. Its killing intent is naturally aimed at Vajra," explained Azzy. "Uhh..." Qridus became embarrassed, not being able to react properly, while Azzy continued to stare at him as if he were expecting an apology. Read exclusive content at m v l em pyr
Seeing her disciple's situation, Devorah stepped in, gaining attention with a clap before easing up the atmosphere with a change of topic, "Anyway, listen to me until the end. So, Knull here is at the end of her lifespan, just about a few hundred years away, and she decides to prolong her life by becoming an Arcana spirit without going through the spirit realm before that time.
Considering the fact that little Affea here can manipulate gravity, which will complement Knull's void element, I was wondering if she would be willing to become her host."
"Eh?" "Huh? Devorah, what are you saying?"
Even the monster was caught off guard by her comment, "I still have a lot of life span left. Do you want to kill me off that early or what?"
Azzy responded by stretching his arm to the side and catching the floating divine sword.
He shouted, "Fine, Ancestor. I also had enough of you to keep questioning my actions over and over again. Instead of siding with me, you keep trying to discipline me. Let's settle this with a battle."
Vajra responded to his feelings. Sparks of lightning thicked over the black lightning orb, ready to attack its enemy.
Vesyrn finally opened his mouth, stepping forward and shielding his son, "Great Grandpa, please calm down. Azzy, what the hell are you doing? Stand down."
"Dad, please move aside. Let us settle this matter once and for all. Or else, even in the future, after I become the clan head, Ancestor will keep on interfering in the clan affairs, trying to force his opinion on mine."
Azzy slowly flew into the sky and floated a few meters away from Qridus, who was further enraged by his descendant's response, which he felt was filled with arrogance.
"Go, Chuckee..."
As the adults worried about the outcome, Little Affea was cheering out loud, supporting her brother.
"Umm... Saint Garcia, can you please stop them?" Izora came forward this time, requesting Devorah, who didn't interfere this time and merely stared at them in silence alongside Knull.
Devorah shook her head, "It is best this way. Qridus will also learn something in this battle. But, don't worry. If things go out of hand, we'll step in."
"I should, too? That brat ambushed me..." The humanoid rocky monster complained instead.
Devorah gave a stern glare to it, and the monster nodded immediately, "Fine, I will help."
