Ethan Jr. tried to assault me once more and dodged his fist. He didn’t quit by persevering with to provide combos of punches and kicks.

Steadily, I may really feel that his velocity was rising. I can certainly counterattack him, however he can even parry and dodge.

And eventually, he jumped up and kicked me within the chest with each ft, sending me rolling throughout the room.

“Rattling, you are good.” I laughed bitterly whereas clutching my chest. Nonetheless, I am positive the ache wasn’t because of the kick from Ethan Jr.

“I’ve to kill you, Vorn.” That younger man hissed. “I’ve to do that obligation of mine, or I will not have the ability to relaxation simple.”

“Say it, Ethan.” I can barely stand. “What is going to the longer term be like? Is it that dangerous that you just really feel compelled to come back to this time to kill me?”

He chuckled. “You realize this, proper? I can not clarify the longer term scenario to you. We do not know what the results will likely be. As I stated, I got here right here simply to kill you for my peace of thoughts.”

“I doubt it.” I sharpened my tone. “If the world I dreamed of got here true, you’ll don’t have any purpose to kill me. Like Velvet, who additionally has no purpose to do this.”

Ethan Jr. was silent for a second. “Hey, we have been speaking for too lengthy. Are you stalling? What would you like, Vorn? Resting due to that weak physique of yours? Ready for reinforcements? What occurred to the mighty lord Vorn?”

“What about you?” I pressured my physique to straighten up, despite the fact that I needed to lie down. “I can really feel that you’re doing a ragmonuk metallic infusion into your physique. You are feeling ache, too, proper? That methodology is a bitch.”

As a substitute of talking once more, Ethan jumped up and tried to ram his knee towards me. Once more, I blocked him, however this time I used to be pushed again.

Immediately a white explosion appeared earlier than me, sending Ethan flying distant till he crashed right into a wall. After I regarded to the opposite aspect of the room, I discovered a person putting a punching pose, and his fist was emitting smoke.

“Hello, lord Vorn.” The person with the mohawk-cropped orange hair smiled at me. “I believe I modified my thoughts. I not need to kill you.”

There was familiarity on the face of that man sporting grey armor. And it did not take lengthy for me to guess who it was.

“Alain?” I raised an eyebrow. “Is that you just?”

“That is proper, my lord.” He bowed to me. “I additionally come from the longer term. Alain, at your service.”

“Fuck….” Ethan Jr. grew up. “Neither right here nor sooner or later. You at all times trouble me, Alain.”

“Cease it, Ethan.” The grownup model of Alain sighed. “I additionally had an obsession with killing Lord Vorn, however after some time, I noticed it was pointless. Return to mother and pa.”

Ethan Jr rose to his ft. “I am not a child anymore….”

However a second later, he fell to his knees, and his physique modified to human type once more. Then, his mouth spat out some thick black liquid.

“See….” I sighed. “That methodology is a bitch.”

Ethan glared at Alain and me along with his lips crammed with the black liquid, then screamed on the high of his lungs. An invisible drive exploded from his physique, sending us flying.

And after I received up, I could not see Ritor’s son wherever.

“I hate it when he makes use of that factor.” Alain scratched his hair in frustration. “He’s very troublesome to catch.”

With a bit limp, I approached Alain and smiled at him. “You turn out to be a fantastic man, Alain.”

He bowed once more. “That is due to your glorious upbringing, Lord Vorn.”

Not lengthy after, Emily and Velvet hurriedly entered this room.

“What occurred?” I heard there was an explosion right here.”

Sitting within the assembly room, I checked out Karl, Jude, Alain, Velvet, Emily, and the representatives from the Elves. The lady with brief blue hair regarded tense.

Since all the opposite demons have turned to stone, they’re the one officers of curiosity I can name upon.

“So, you stated the elves are keen to guard this place?” I requested the blue-haired elf.

She nodded. “They’re very grateful for this glorious present, my lord. They’re keen to danger their lives to defend this place. It issues their legacy, in spite of everything.”

“And to reinforce our drive, I suggest to carry a number of corporations of human troops over right here,” Karl added. “That’s in anticipation of the arrival of our different enemies. I hate to say this, however there isn’t any denying that this metropolis is susceptible.”

“Then you definately two dismissed,” I answered them, despite the fact that I hated asking for assist like that. “Do no matter is critical. Defend this metropolis as finest you possibly can.”

“I can even ask for assist through my hyperlink, my lord.” Jude chimed in.

After the three people paid their respects to me and left, I requested Alain. “So what are you able to say, Alain? I wager you possibly can’t discuss a lot both, are you able to? Those that despatched you to this time should have stated it may screw the timeline.”

“You might be proper, your majesty.” He nodded. “All I can say is that Ethan Jr. is displaying these signs as a result of time journey. Truly, he’s stronger than that. In my time, you’re the just one who can defeat him.”

“The mix of demonic energy, prophetness, and Ragmonuk metallic infusion,” Velvet commented. “I believe that is a foul mixture.”

“However I really feel he’s actually in ache.” I leaned my again towards the chair. “All of that takes a toll on his physique. He’s like that not solely due to time journey.”

“So, what’s going to you do, my lord?” Emily requested with a tense face.

“I’ve to kill him,” I answered with a chilly tone. “It is a disgrace as a result of he is Ritor’s son. However we now have no different alternative. Ayre shouldn’t be right here to return him to his time.”

“I apologize for asking this, my lord,” Velvet stated, me deeply. “I do know you promised to not kill Ethan Jr…. Is… Ah, I suppose I needn’t ask that. Forgive me, my lord. Simply neglect what I simply stated.”

I desire silence to reply to the prophet’s phrases. To be trustworthy, I do not know what to do but.
