While Gale and Fiona were indulged in their carnal desire, Odino and others arrived at the place where the initial fight started.
It was around the place where Tin was having sex with that girl. From there, Odino and others followed the path of destruction. Following that path, they saw many dead beasts whose blood had turned light red. The meat on their bodies was falling apart.
"Such a strong absorption technique! He didn't leave a single ounce of blood essence in the body." Odino was shocked as he more looked at the dead beasts.
He still had that little bit of doubt in his mind that it might have been done by someone else, but after seeing the destruction and the things this unknown guy could do, he shredded that small ounce of doubt out of his mind.
After arriving at the site where Gale and Tin had the final battle, they met many people there. Elders, disciples, and even participants were there.
Odino and others saw the dead body of Tin. Odino was a little angry as an inner disciple died under him and the scolding he would be getting from the others in the sect. He was about to say something, but he got cut off by someone else.
He saw, among the elders of Burnheart's an old, thin elder dash toward Tin's dead body. He had a long white beard that came down to his stomach and little to no hair on his head. He had tears on his face and anger in his voice. "What happened to my grandchild!?"
He knelt down beside Tin's body and shouted in anger. "Who killed him? How dare they kill my only grandchild!?"
"This…" Odino didn't expect he would encounter this kind of situation.
Gravitar came beside Odino and explained the old man's origin. "Sorry, Elder Odino. This is Elder Thunder, and that dead kid is his grandson."
"You don't have to say sorry, you should be sad and have some anger after losing your only grandchild." Odino shook his head, not minding this kind of behavior.
"Umm…" Gravitar hesitated a bit but still spoke. "Elder Odino, you see, Tin isn't his only grandchild. He has many grandchildren in the family, more than most of the elders. But the thing is, he loves Tin very much. Tin was the first child of his eldest son, and Tin was also very talented, so he doted on Tin very much."
"Huh? If Tin was the child of his eldest son, then why is Tin so young? You just told me, he has the most grandchildren." Odino became very confused after hearing Gravitar's explanation.
"Actually the eldest son of his was the youngest among his children. Elder Thunder had given birth to many children, but all were female. Tin's father was the first son he had." Gravitar became a bit awkward after saying that.
'This guy…' Odino didn't expect this old man to be so desperate to have a son. After thinking a little, he was able to guess why he loved Tin so much.
'Elder Thunder wanted to grow power, and to do that, he needed a talented male in his own family tree. But unfortunately for him, he didn't get any in his entire life. Tin's father might be his first son; however, he might not have been talented. Then Tin came, and he got what his father lacked; talent. The fact that he was able to become an inner disciple right after two years before enrolling in the sect.' This was the conclusion Odino came to.
Meanwhile, after Elder Thunder was done grieving for his grandchild, he looked at Tin's body and vowed. "I promise I won't let that demon live in peace!"
'Hmm…' Something went through Odino's mind, but he decided to think about it later. He came to see a girl who had some fear on her face.
"So, you are the one who was present at the start of the conflict?" Odino asked the girl.
The girl nodded her head. She was the one Tin was secretly having sex with.
"Can you tell me what happened?" Odino asked softly, but she remained quiet.
Suddenly, a female disciple came before her, as she thought Odino might become mad for not answering him. "Elder Odino, let me speak on behalf of her."
"She was in a relationship with Tin. They were being physical with each other in the forest when suddenly a young guy came in and saw them like that. She became very embarrassed and quickly hid behind the tree, while Tin went to fight that guy in anger."
"Show me what he looked like, girl?" All of a sudden, Elder Thunder burst toward the girl while glaring at her. The pressure emanating toward the girl made her very scared, and she quickly hid behind the female disciple in fear.
Odino eyebrows furrowed at this.
Thup
Then Elder Thunder felt someone stop him by grabbing his right shoulder. He looked back and saw Brustiar was looked at him.
"Elder Thunder, I think you should calm down. You are not only sad and angry for Tin's death, we are too." Brustiar said as his face darkened. He was truly angry as Tin was one of their promising scions that had the potential to become a core disciple. This was a huge loss for them.
Elder Thunder looked back and indeed saw that many elders' faces didn't look good.
"Hmph," Odino gave a small scoff which blasted Elder Thunder's pressure like nothing. He might have the most tolerance of any other elder in the sect, but he wouldn't let someone bully his disciples in front of him.
Odino looked at the girl and saw her mental state was not okay. "Take her away, let me know if she needs anything."
Then he looked at Winc and Grisa, who was right beside him. "So, you guys saw Tin getting killed firsthand?"
They both nodded their heads.
"Good," Odino said, pleased."Show me what he looked like."
Winc came forward and lifted his palm. From it, spiritual energy came out and took shape into, Gale's naked, bloodied figure, whose face was hard to see because of blood and hair.
