Chapter 90 : Badass
"Can anyone tell me what the fuck is happening right now ?" Shouted a man dressed in Royal garments with brown hair and eyes.
This man was Almond Drazen Fiore, current emperor of the Fiore empire.
Those against whom he was shouting glanced at each other before one of them stepped forward and bowed deeply to the emperor.
"Sorry my liege, but we don't know what is happening, no one has ever seen something like that happen, so-"
"Stop with the excuse!" Cut the emperor, making the mage in front of him squirm from fright.
'You will pay me for this!' promised the mage as he furtively glanced at his colleagues behind him.
They have been summoned to the throne room the moment the smoke started to coalesce to form those pillars.
This mage that just spoke was actually a newbie that was eager to climb the ranks and those seniors of his had tricked him knowing this fact about him.
Just now when the emperor asked what was happening, they had coaxed him mentally telling him that he should be the one to speak, that the emperor liked people's that quickly responded to his inquiries and if he were to be the one to speak he will be in the emperor good grace, however, from the look the emperor was giving him currently, he understood that those f*cker just used him as their scapegoat.
"Can you at least locate the origin of this phenomenon?" Asked the emperor.
"S-Sorry, but the thickness of the smoke in the air made it impossible to find the location-"
"SCRAM!" shouted the emperor, fighting the urge to kill those useless mages.
After the mages had left and the throne room quickly descended into calmness, one of the knight standings beside the throne asked:
"What are your orders ?"
"Tell the soldiers to be on guard at all time and to increase the level of security in the whole empire, also, tell them to verify anyone entering or exiting the empire" ordered the emperor as he stood from his throne.
They were currently on another shopping spree with Grace, Ava, Amelia and Anna.
Candace didn't come with them as like Scarlett she was a bookworm, so she was pretty close to her, which is why that she preferred to stay with Scarlett.
As for Eleanor, no one knew what she was doing right now.
'It's true that it does look familiar' thought Alice as she looked at the human made of smoke.
'Let's try, perhaps I'll be able to identify who it is,' thought Alice, activating her god's eyes.
However, what she saw greatly stunned her.
'Dad ?'

While great turmoil was happening on the whole of the continent, the one causing it could be seen sitting in a meditative stance.
The speed at which the smoke swirled around him had started to slow down, at the same time, in the sky his depiction made of smoke started to dissipate, the sky returning to its natural color.
When the surrounding smoke had vanished, Alex opened his eyes.
When he opened them, Alex's eyes flashed with a blinding white light, and simultaneously, a mark appeared at the back of his hand, flashing with the same light as his eyes.
When the light had finally subsided from his eyes, Alex was fully awakened.
The first thing he noticed was a soft light emanating from the back of his hand. He glanced down and observed the mark that had appeared, then grinned.
"Looks kind of badass"
