Chapter 208 - Child Prodigy
And when indeed his son-in-law countered this attack with the Chains of Restraint and particles of light, the only mage among them could not help but say : "Not bad, he's a smart one."
Mykael laughed again but his laughter choked in his throat and turned to rage when he heard Lilith threaten his son's life, his eyes turned bright red and he said menacingly : "That bitch is going to pay for it."
But what happened next was beyond his expectations, his son-in-law was not only incredible ... As he had already suspected, he was far more powerful than any Warrior Spirit he had ever fought with, and the only one who could fight against that kind of power was the God of War, Elias.
His son-in-law then created a transdimensional portal and he heard the exclamations of surprise of his men as the Chains of Restraint invaded the room and immediately attacked Lilith.
They also came near the force field Mykael had created, but the Chains of Restraint recognized their former master and Mykael then placed one of his hands on his force field and one of the chains immediately came to him and he ordered to it : "Kill !"
The Chains of Restraint became even more savage and they pierced all of Lilith's guards who had been trying to protect her without any difficulty, and Mykael had to admit that they seemed even more powerful than when they were under his control.
Then he heard Lilith's scream and saw his son fall on his knees under the pressure she was exerting, he clenched his fists in frustration and only released them when the ice spike his son-in-law had thrown at her pierced her head in the middle of his forehead.
His son-in-law's transdimensional portal closed immediately afterwards and as they were the last survivors in the room, Mykael dissipated the force field and asked his mage : "Can you make sure to slow down her regeneration as much as possible ... And Colin, I want her to suffer."
Colin's smile widened and he told him : "Don't worry, your son-in-law left me everything I need for this."
Colin approached Lilith and he used the water particles to soak her whole body, then he spread the lightning particles everywhere so that the paralysis effect would be as effective as possible and therefore it will increase the time she will need to regenerate.
Then he said to Mykael before continuing to have his agreement : "I can poison her organism with the lightning particles but I may take several hours to recover."
Mykael asked him curious : "How long will her organism remain poisoned ?"
Colin replied hastily : "Between 10 to 15 days I would say, no more unfortunately."
A creepy smile appeared on Mykael's face as he said : "Go ahead ! I'll find you a replacement for the day."
Colin didn't waste time and immediately after he quickly used the light particles before they dispersed and he turned them into hundreds of tiny needles that he used to pierce Lilith's body, and once the needles were inside Lilith's body he scattered them throughout her meridians.
Having to control so many needles and scatter the light particles through the meridians required great skill, a huge reserve of Soul force and a lot of concentration.
Colin smirked when he was done and Mykael caught him before he collapsed on the ground, he threw him over his shoulders, telling the rest of his men : "I'll take care of him, everyone back to your posts, we're done here."
His men disappeared at once and Mykael returned to his palace, he went to Colin room and after having installed him comfortably in his bed, he sealed his door so that only he would be able to enter his room, and then he headed to his own suite and went directly to the mirror to check if everything was fine with his son.
.........
In another world, Elias, who had just ended a conflict that had created a war that had lasted 5 years, wondered what had become of this child prodigy he had trained.
The first time he had seen him, he had just sensed the arrival of a new Spirit Warrior and since it was up to him to make sure they were all kept under control, he had gone to check and he had discovered this child who was then only 8 years old.
Surprisingly, this child had already begun to master the Stage 1 of a Warrior Spirit, it was the first time he had seen this, usually everyone who developed this skill was at least in their teens, hence the term 'child prodigy'.
Intrigued, he continued to watch him from afar, and even though he wanted to slaughter the bastards who ran the orphanage where he was, he knew that living in this environment would develop his abilities and his survival instinct.
A year later Mykael appeared in this world and told him that this world was too corrupt and that it had to be destroyed entirely so that he could start from scratch with a new foundation, but he had refused and had opposed to him.
He had tried to negotiate a ten year period for this child to develop into a Warrior Spirit of Stage 2, but Mykael, whom he had a good relationship with, did not budge and told him that this world was too corrupt to survive another ten years.
Deep down he knew that Mykael was right but his instinct told him to protect this child prodigy and let him grow up to see how he would survive in this doomed world.
So he had fought against Mykael and for the first time he had showed him his true power, he had inflicted a wound that had forced him to give up and leave this world that he wanted to protect against all logic.
Elias had never regretted his choice, he kept being surprised by this child, while he was sure that as soon as he would have been strong enough, he would have killed those bastards who had mistreated him and the other orphans during all these years, he decided instead to run away from the orphanage at the age of 12 and from there he saw him finally blossomi in the shadow world.
By the time he turned 15, he was not far from reaching Stage 2, and two years later, it seemed that this child prodigy was content with his current strength and did not seek to become stronger.
And so, even though he was still curious, he had no reason to watch him anymore, because this child who had grown into a teenager, and practically a young man now, was perfectly balanced and despite all the suffering he had endured, he had kept a pure heart and probably in spite of himself, he had become this formidable assassin.
