Kayden stood up from the ground, due to the blurry vision he staggered and his foot touched the blood fire circle. But this time the fire did not hurt him at all, instead the fire extinguished from the very spot. It seemed as if his foot made the fire vanish from the spot.
"Argh...my head!"
He groaned with the headache and looked around only to see that he was standing in the middle of the road. Kayden seemed confused about what exactly happened and immediately looked down at the fire circle. He also had no clue what to conclude about it hence panicked to seek help.
It was the moment when the black aura emerged from his body and began to travel towards the fire circle. He was sure that the circle had the tendency to hurt him but for some reason he also felt the familiarity towards the fire element. Kayden's eyes glowed bright red as he spread his arms and closed eyes.
Meanwhile he was busy in tackling the fire circle, the elven man was happy with the results. It was significant for him that Kayden was the chosen one, but had so much more to learn yet. He had immense potential in him but the lacking of the proper master held him back.
"What!? How did you manage to turn him back to normal?"
Medusa shifted her gaze towards the elven man to ask him the major question. But to her surprise there was no one standing besides her. She hurriedly looked around to see where did he vanish to and when!? But it appeared that he was gone right after Kayden was back to normal.
He only required to take the readings and make a proper file of Kayden to register his powers and similar things. When his work was done he immediately headed back to his master to inform him and to submit the hard work of his months of sojourn.
Medusa shook her head and shifted her gaze back to Kayden who was now standing with his eyes closed. His silhouette floated in the air a few inches above the ground. The black demonic aura from his body was absorbing the fire in it, which appeared like coal burning sight.
He snapped opened his eyes after inhaling deeply when the demonic smoke vanished into his back after absorbing all the fire element. The residual blood which was still there returned to its original form into the droplets. Kayden acted reflexively with the urge of drinking that blood which was spilled on the ground.
Since he could not really lick it from the ground thus the only option was to absorb it by reversing its state. Medusa was surprised how fast he learned the blood magic spells. It actually made her curious regarding how was he even able to learn all those things on his own.
After all it could not be simply a gut feeling each time, something was guiding him from inside it seems. However the succubus ran towards Kayden a nd stood in front of him. Her wound had already healed thus she had no threat from him again. The woman stood in front of the circle and waited for it to be absorbed.
Kayden on the other hand was immersed into the absorption that he did not notice her presence close by. His eyes were glowing unnaturally red which made him focus on the blood more rather than any other living being around.
"Kayden!? Oh my goodness, are you alright?"
Medusa called out to him right after the circle was lifted, she could not step inside it assuming that it could hurt her. After all she was not a match for Kayden's powers at all, even though she undergone some changes. But his powers within others were no less than a disease which could possibly kill them.
Kayden heard her voice and flinched a bit as soon as the blood was absorbed in his body. His floating silhouette fell on the ground, as soon as his head was about to hit down Medusa leaped towards him. The woman reached for his head to prevent it to get hurt.
Within just the blink of an eye she was sitting on the ground with Kayden's head in her lap. Medusa was unsure what just happened to him and blamed it on herself not being able to protect him. She cursed herself for trusting that elven man, Medusa could not help but to feel guilty because not most people were able to cast blood magic.
And for some reason he was so young to be able to master that powerful magic. Now that he was gone it raised her suspicion regarding his identity, what if whatever he told her was a lie!? The woman could not help but feel stupid for trusting him with Kayden's responsibility.
Kayden fell unconscious right after he fell into Medusa' lap, the succubus on the other hand was unable to keep herself calm. Her eyes began to form tears as she tried hard to hold them back. Her sniffles became a bit louder as she sobbed while sitting on the ground.
"Hm?"
Soon she heard some engine noise and lifted her head only to see a cab approaching them. Medusa could feel Malcolm's aura getting stronger as the cab came closer. It stopped on some distance and a boy crept out immediately with a worried face.
"Malcolm....Malcolm....Iook at him, I don't know what happened to him!"
She called out to him and then glanced at Kayden who was laying unconscious in her lap. Medusa did not want to hide about encountering an elf but she had no other choice. Because if Mr Jones came to know about it he would skin her alive for putting his son's life in danger with that shrewd race.
After all, it all started after their arrival in the realm which was the obvious cause of all the unnatural things happening in the kingdom.
