Chapter 414: *The battle of the Royal Palace part 14*
This vision had lasted only a few seconds, and after exchanging a knowing look, Kevin and Axel immediately ran towards the two mages, leaving Mykael and Colin behind without even an explanation.
Colin would have liked to stay with Mykael to observe them all because they didn’t need him here to fight anymore, but he was contacted by Iris, Kerry, and Kelan at the same time, who urged him to come immediately.
So, he immediately disappeared, only informing Mykael when he arrived at the Royal Palace that the king’s close guards, who were at least thirty, all had weapons made of Trinium and that they were using them to cause chaos.
Mykael immediately informed Kevin and Axel and told them not to hang around here and that they had to return with Colin to the Royal Palace as soon as possible.
Then he saw Kevin step in between Erik and his opponent, and when his short sword, entirely golden this time, hit the Titan’s sword, it exploded, and Kevin pierced the Titan’s heart with his blade before disappearing to join Colin.
This poor Titan didn’t have time to react before being reduced to ashes by golden flames. Meanwhile, Axel stepped between Malo and the mage who had targeted him, grabbing the blade of the mage’s sword with his bare hand, despite the fact that black flames was enveloping it.
The Titan then smirked, sure that his black flames would be enough to kill this human who had golden circles around his eyes and many golden tattoos on his skin. But he was surprised when his black flames, instead of disintegrating this human’s body, seemed to leave only slight burn marks on his skin.
Seeing this, even Malo, Erik, and the other Titans stopped fighting and moved away from each other to observe what was going on.
The previously confident Titan began to realize that this man in front of him, still holding his sword in his bare hand, was no ordinary man, and the fear he suddenly inspired him began to make him sweat. "It was impossible," he kept telling himself.
How could this human resist the power of his black flames? At first, he wanted to save his Soul Force because, after all, there were still quite a few humans who had some strength, and the black flames were still the most useful weapon to get rid of them.
And even if they were tiny, the black flames, once in contact with anything, would immediately disintegrate it, whether it was flesh or weapons; there was no difference for these black flames.
But facing a life-or-death situation, he ultimately decided not to conserve his Soul Force. Instead, he unleashed larger and more powerful black flames at this human, who stared back at him as if he were already dead. Then, he thought that he could simply step away from the battlefield for a moment to regain his strength; at least, that was his plan.
Unfortunately, nothing happened as he had imagined. The human let the black flames run down his arms as if nothing had happened, and it was then that he saw his eyes become entirely golden.
Immediately afterward, his tattoos started to shine, and the black flames were instantly destroyed by a kind of golden light... It was his aura; this golden light was the aura of this man, and it had just dissipated the black flames as if they were insignificant.
The Titan was then paralyzed by this power he could feel; it was even more terrifying than the one he had felt earlier, and the hands that were still holding his sword started to shake completely uncontrollably.
Mykael then teleported to Axel and said to him, "Enough, son; don’t use this power too much, and go join Kevin."
Axel’s hand then destroyed the sword, and he took this Titan by the throat, who died in a few seconds, disintegrated by the golden particles. After that, his aura, eyes, and tattoos returned to their normal appearance, and Mykael teleported them back to the ridge where he had been earlier and said to him, "Son, after this battle, you and I should have a talk."
Axel nodded; he had wanted to test if his body, after absorbing all those golden particles earlier and after feeling the changes that had taken place in him, could now resist the black flames. And he had not been disappointed; the only problem was that even if his body could now resist these black flames, they still couldn’t get rid of them, and that was why he wanted to try to call upon the powers of his tattoos.
But when he focused on his tattoos to see if they could help him get rid of those black flames, he felt a colossal power that was even more powerful than the one in his father’s sword, and even his wolf side told him to beware of that power.
Fortunately, he had heard his father’s voice, and with the help of his wolf side, he managed to push back the power that had tried to take control over his body.
It had been a really unpleasant experience, and he wasn’t going to do it again anytime soon because if he really lost control and hurt Kevin or his friends, he would never forgive himself. So he said to his father, "Don’t worry too much. Thanks to my wolf side, we managed to repress this power that tried to take over my body, and as long as I don’t try to use the powers of these tattoos again, I’m safe."
His father then put a hand on his shoulder and said, still worried, "You shouldn’t have tried to use them, at least not until we understand them; it could have been dangerous."
Axel apologized immediately because he felt that his father had really been worried, and Mykael then added, "If you feel good, you can go and join your husband now, but don’t use the power of these tattoos anymore. This time you and your wolf side managed to push away what was trying to take possession of your body, but that doesn’t mean that you will succeed next time, understood?"
