Three Days Later,
On the top layer of the atmosphere,
“Dark Emperor Flames!”
Brian took a deep breath and his mouth condensed a large amount of dark mana in it. The moment he opened his mouth, black flames came out of his mouth like water coming out of a stream.
But, he didn’t stop there. He closed his mouth and spun. He extended his right arm and with the spin, he slapped a powerful wave of purple wind from his hand.
“Majestic Purple Wind!”
Brian raised both of his hands and suddenly, his aura changed. His mana burst out on his palm and transformed into dark red flames.
“Hell’s Flame!”
He slapped his palms together and released a vertical circle of flame that stayed a few inches away from his face. The circle itself wasn’t that big but he had total control over it.
He spun and threw the flaming circle. It sharply moved toward space and after reaching outside the earth’s orbit, it collided against a small rock.
Boom!
The explosion shook everything around it. If it wasn’t for Brian using the barrier to control the power of the explosion, it would’ve destroyed the satellites flying around the earth.
He finally stopped and changed his form. His hair and eyes turned red this time. Without easting a single second, he released his mana and activated the Blood Domain..
A powerful aura spread around him and the entire surrounding changed covering everything with blood. Although it was only illusionary, even Omega Rank wouldn’t be able to find the difference.
“Blood Trident!”
Brian instantly utilized one of his best attacks which transforms mana into blood. The blood trident was nearly two meters long with three sharp tips. It hovered above him and with the single of his hand, the trident simply dashed toward the endless space, especially an asteroid in an endless space.
Bang!
Crack! Crack! Crack! Bang!
The trident collided against the asteroid and managed to pierce it into pieces but in doing so, it changed into a blood mist and slowly vanished. The attack will continue to be effective until the power of blood is exhausted.
That means if the power of blood doesn’t get exhausted, the attack can continuously inflict damage without stopping.
“Scarlet Flames!”
He waved his hands and the blood started burning. The scarlet flame appeared out of his burned blood but it was so little that he had to pour even more mana to condense it properly.
Boom!
He simply channeled scarlet flames in his hands and punched toward the space. His punch released the stream of flames that after reaching a certain distance exploded.
Although the explosion was quite smaller than Hell’s Flame, his current was only Emperor Rank after all. Finally, he retrieved his Blood Domain and turned around.
He floated back to the lower atmosphere where he found Lucy and Lena waiting for him.
“It seems like you can handle more Omega Rank now.” Lena commented with a smile.
“I hope so.” Brian chuckled as they slowly floated toward the house. He looked at them and said, “Thank you!”
They shook their heads and said “We only taught you the basics. You developed everything on your own.”
“Anyway, how about we have some ice cream and relax. After all, we have been training for three days straight.” Brian suggested as they soon reached in front of the mansion.
“Okay!” Lena and Lucy’s smiles bloomed as they nodded their heads.
They opened the door and walked in.
“Oh, you are back. Kids have just arrived. What do you want to eat?” Charlotte walked out of the kitchen hearing the noise and spoke.
“How about we go out for ice cream?” Brian suggested.
“Ice Cream!” Suddenly, Ely who was changing inside her room ran out wearing a skirt and a full-sleeved t-shirt.
“Daddy, are we going out tonight?” Ely jumped into his embrace as usual and curiously asked.
“Little lady, shouldn’t you wear your clothes properly? You haven’t even tied the skirt.” Lucy scolded her while tying her skirt properly.
Ely stuck out her tongue to Lucy and ignored her words.
“Alright then, get ready for tonight’s dinner. How about we go after a few hours? It would be evening by then.” Brian looked at Charlotte and asked.
“Then, what about now?” Charlotte rolled her eyes and asked.
“Let’s fast till then! It would be fun.” Ely excitedly suggested.
“Are you sure?” Brian looked at her with surprise and asked.
“Humph! Don’t underestimate me, I can go on without food for days.” Ely proudly stated.
“And, you still can’t go on a single day without my blood.” Brian chuckled.
“That’s not a fair comparison.” Ely raised her and shouted.
“Alright! Alright! Where is Wraith?” Brian asked.
Hearing his words, Charlotte’s and Ely’s expressions darkened. Charlotte sighed and said “He is currently on the Power Chamber, training by himself. He hasn’t properly eaten anything and has been training after he arrives.”
“Daddy, can you help Wraith?” Ely pulled his collar and asked.
Now, hearing her words, his expression worsened. But, he didn’t let this get into his head and put her down. He took the elevator and went down. At this moment, he could hear the sound of punches.
He walked toward the Power Chamber and saw Wraith. His body was full of bruises and in front of him, there was a dark shadow against whom he was fighting.
Wraith was barely dodging the attacks from the dark shadow and couldn’t even launch a single attack on him even though both had the same rank.
With a single glance, Brian identified this dark shadow.
They are called ‘Archenemies of Light’. They are created by the Angel Race by recording all of their weaknesses in order to train the royal bloodlines. With Wraith’s status, it wasn’t surprising that he had one.
“Ahem!”
Upon reaching closer, he entered the Power Chamber and made a sound. Wraith was startled. He turned around and exclaimed with surprise.
“Uncle! When did you arrive?”
“Just now! I didn’t expect you to train with the Dark Shadow. I heard they contain all of the weaknesses of an angel race. Aren’t you putting your race at risk by revealing it to me?” Brian asked.
“Uncle, you must be kidding. If you really want to find out, there is no way I can stop you.” Wraith chuckled as he put away the Dark Shadow. After using it, he can turn it into a stone and keep it inside his Spatial Ring.
“Anyway, it seems like you have been training quite a lot.” Brian looked at his condition and spoke.
“I…” Wraith didn’t know how to say it. He couldn’t utter the next word. But, Brian patted his shoulder and said.
“Do you know why adults go to work while children go to study?”
Wraith looked at him weirdly and asked “Isn’t it to get a proper job in the future?”
“You are only half correct. In fact, I could even say that you are completely wrong. We go to work because we have already lived our childhood and we are living to make someone’s childhood.”
“Childhood isn’t all about study. It is a mixture of everything that can be considered ‘life’. You study, you make friends, you go out with your friends, you participate in different activities, you fight with your best friend, you make a new girlfriend.”
“Each of these comes together to make a childhood. And, eating a snack when it is made by your aunt is also a childhood. After you grow up, you won’t be here. You won’t get a chance to eat your aunt’s food.”
“So, wouldn’t it mean you will miss out on your childhood?”
Wraith’s eyes widened but he didn’t answer immediately. He clenched his fists and after a while, he finally spoke.
“I was scared. When those people came to fight you, I was so scared that I couldn’t even move. I am King Rank but I was more scared than Ely. If she hadn’t been conscious enough to not go out, I wouldn’t even be courageous enough to stop her.”
“I want to get stronger, a lot stronger, and a lot courageous. I don’t want to end up like before.”
Hearing his words, Brian sighed “I understand. So, you want to get stronger huh! But, do you know someone who also said the same words to me. Now, she is in the process of getting stronger.”
“But, today, I am still going to interrupt that process because all of us are going out for a dinner. And, I don’t want her to miss out. Remember what I said about childhood?”
“You need to experience everything to make a perfect childhood. Missing out on your aunt’s food and going out for dinner won’t make a perfect childhood. I don’t want you to force yourself to train.”
“You are just a child. So, I am going to treat you like how I treat my daughter, a little less maybe but still the same. As long as you stay with me, you are going to enjoy your childhood.”
“And, I will protect you until you grow up.”
