Azzy didn't explain to her anything and freed his hand, disconnecting their telepathic connection in the process. He walked forward and did what Leah suggested, giving his parents a light hug.

"How are you, son? I missed you." Vesyrn ruffled Azzy's hair in affection but the latter's concentration was on her mom.

He answered without thinking much, "Nothing is fine, dad."

"What happened, my baby?" Izora became worried and grabbed his face. Looking into his eyes, she asked, "I guess it wasn't just me then. Earlier, I had this feeling that you were troubled about something. What is it? Anything happened during our absence?"

Her words brought Azzy to reality and he realized that he blurted out the wrong words. With quick thinking, he replied, "nothing to worry about, mom. It's just something that happened during the hidden clan meeting. My mind was still on it, I guess. Anyway, I will explain everything later on."

"I see… okay…" Izora believed that something truly bad happened during the meeting, but since it has been more than a year (for her) since she last saw her son, she didn't want to ruin this moment and just decided to spend some time with him instead of troubling him with questions. She can find out what happened after returning to the clan anyways.

For the rest of the day, the family of three stayed at the palace as they were instructed to do so.

The following morning, Qridus personally made a visit to Camelot, not to pick them up but to test Vesyrn's training results.

Everyone went to the gravity dome located on one of the peaks of the White Mountains.

Qridus and Vesyrn were standing just about ten meters apart from each other with the former looking relaxed while the latter looking very confident. Around them, there's the King and Queen, Leah and Azzy, Izora, and Aurelia (royal teacher of Camelot); all of them were curious to see the results too for they know the upcoming battle between Vesyrn Garcia and the current clan heir Velez Garcia.

"Go on, Vesyrn. You can start your offense." Qridus gestured for his descendant to attack.

Vesyrn nodded with a serious expression and proceeded to summon his Arcana.

"Come out, Raya." He spoke out the name of his Arcana, which he was familiar with. However, the thing that was summoned was vastly different from his Ginseng.

Forget about the plant type Arcana, it wasn't even a light attribute.

The Arcana that was summoned was an undead dragon that stands on its two hind legs usually. To be exact, it is a Dracolich, a top-tier platinum-grade Arcana.

"The Death energy? What is going on, Vesyrn?" asked Qridus, who was taken aback by surprise.

Vesyrn smiled, "The story isn't important, Ancestor. Just think as if I have gone under a special awakening due to which these changes happened. And check this out…"

"Raya, light mode…" He said to the undead dragon.

In an instant, the dracolich glowed brightly for a few seconds. As it died down, everyone saw an undead dragon bathing in light attribute energy.

"Skraaaa"

As it let out a powerful roar, Vesyrn said, "During the awakening, she swallowed the ginseng and retained some of its abilities. You are currently looking at my Arcana which has death energy along with healing abilities. You'll be surprised to see what she can do, Ancestor."

"Well, I know about Dracolich and all of its soul skills. One of our ancestors possessed such a soul beast you know. However, that one didn't have any healing abilities. So, I'm looking forward to testing it for sure." Qridus managed to calm down quite fast but his expectations only further.

Soon, the battle started with Vesyrn making the first move, which is quite a big one if should point out.

"Hidden skill: Merge"

Since this place isn't in the open sky where the dracolich can fly without restriction, he went on with the hidden skill, merging with his Arcana spirit.

A blinding flash of light covered the both of them before they merged to become an ugly zombie-looking thing with most of Vesyrn's flesh coming off. Even Izora couldn't look at her husband without being disgusted by his appearance.

Perhaps, the only people who were completely fine were Qridus and Azzy. One is a supreme being who lived for thousands of years, and the other had an undead army. It would be strange if one's hideous appearance had an effect on them.

As for Leah who feared zombies and ghosts since her childhood, she quietly went behind Azzy who had almost a similar height as her. She tried her best to limit her vision.

Azzy's concentration was split by his dad's battle and Death's aura on his unborn sibling. So, he didn't have the time to focus on Leah's actions. As a result, she saved herself from embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Qridus also summoned his Arcana, a staff named Miraak, and erected a hexagonal golden barrier around him in an instant.

He then looked at his descendant and said, "I won't be hurt as long as this barrier is alive. You need to destroy it and land a single hit on me as I just stand on this spot. This is your mission."

"Understand." Vesyrn nodded and raised his hands. "Soul skill: Spear of Synergy."

A spear of light energy appeared in his left hand and a spear of death energy formed in his right hand.

He didn't throw them. Instead, he brought both of those spears together to create an ultimate spear that contained two layered energies.

"Here I come." Vesyrn tightly grabbed the spear and charged forward at his peak speed.

Because of the close distance, it only took him a fraction of a second to reach his opponent and pierce the barrier.

*Crack* Crack*

The barrier started to crack around Vesyrn's energy spear. As the outer layer of the spear filled with death energy made its way to corrupt the entire barrier, Vesyrn poured the remaining soul energy into his right hand and pushed forward.

The energy spear managed to break past the defense of the golden barrier and made its way toward Qridus.

The old man got alarmed and moved his hand in reflex. His palm stops the spear that was weakened with the removal of the outer layer of death energy.

The spectators thought that it was obvious as Vesyrn isn't a match for someone like Qridus. The fact that he destroyed the barrier is commendable and he also won this spar by landing a hit on the opponent on their first move.

Little did they expect Vesyrn's move wasn't finished yet. He surprised everyone including Qridus by clenching his left fist. "Now..." free webnov el.com

In an instant, the spear of light bursts into specks of light and transformed into chains, capturing the opponent's limbs.

And then, the death energy that was busy destroying the golden barrier suddenly stopped its attack and exited the barrier, transforming into hundreds of needles.

The death energy needles attacked Qridus from all sides. His skin couldn't block all of them like with the light energy.

As a result, his whole body was filled with a tiny bit of injuries but when considering the whole damage, this bag of bones looked like a bloody mess.
