Black Quantiarch: The Progenitor's Odyssey-Chapter 198: The Greenwood Academy [38]

All the one hundred and twenty-eight explosions!! Every single one equivalent to an attack at Ascension Level 89 happened in just 1 second!! ...

Moreover as the three-dimensional octagonal structure of the Fire-balls had created a seamless Order with one another!! So the moment they exploded!! ...

The explosions were further amplified by 1 more Level!! In addition at that nanosecond even Black didn't come out unscathed because of him standing so near to the explosions!! ...

However the instant he was engulfed in the raging flames of his own ability that covered the entirety of the flat clearing but within a heartbeat!! ...

He used his Law of Lesser Disorder to neutralize 90 percent of the damage which he was able to do quiet easily only because the flames were already infused with the corresponding Law!! ...

Anyways that 10 precent was entirely enough to do a quick work out of him!! ...

His body was flung backward by the gargantuan shockwaves of the ensuing explosions!! Slamming and banging into dozens of trees!! Thereby shattering them and creating a small path of destruction!! ...

Selina who saw everything from above!! ...

Indeed was left utterly dumbfounded and in awe of her Lords incomprehensible strength!! Her eyes sparkled with a zealous obsession and devotion!! ...

The moment she compherend that her Lord had defeated someone so stronger then him with but a mere attack!! He had defeated a Flame Elf who was known for his unique flames by his own flames!! How amazing was that!! ...

However all that obsession faded!! Immediately replaced by a palpable concern the second her eyes focused on the injured figure of her Lord in the forest!! ...

"Lord Black!!~~ ... "

Her soul quivered!! Her body out of her control- shot forward!! She landed near Black!! Her hands supporting him!! Her heart bleeding in pain as she looked and examined his bloodied visage!! ...

Alternatively Black on noticing her concern!! Gently caressed her ivory cheeks with a reassuring smile!! ...

"No need to worry Lina!! It was a new ability I created not long ago!! Didn't know the exact range of the explosion!! The reason for My suffering!! Next time something like this won't happen so relax okay!! ... " His voice steady and measured like always!! ...

Selina whimpered- not believing!! Her words chocked!! ...

"B-But My Lord you say that but don't you feel any pain!! Look at your injuries- They're so horrible!! Please let Me use My Law of Nature on you!! Though My comprehension is still shy of reaching Level 3!! But it should still be enough to atleast stop your bleeding afterwards you can drink!! – ... "

Abruptly Selina realized!! ...

That she didn't have any health potions left after what happened previously but also that her Lord had an Elixir on him that was even capable of healing her mortal wounds!! ...

Black chuckled lightly!! ...

Knowing that his Elf clearly grasped that his reassurance wasn't mere empty words!! "See Lina!! If I said you don't have to worry about Me then that truly means you don't!! Moreover about My pain- That is also something that you shouldn't bother your fragile mind with!! I'm someone who mostly can't feel any pain!! ... "

Stroking her head!! He further added!! ...

"Look at My posture!! I'm standing straight despite My injuries! Do I look like someone suffering from an agonizing pain!! ... " He smiled mysteriously!! Not elaborating further!! ...

In any case Black still savoured the concern Selina showed for him!! Even reminding himself to give her a proper reward later subsequently!! He summoned and gulped down another rank nine health potion!! ...

The while his wounds were recovering!! He had his flat gaze focused on the infernal flames blazing before him!! Gloating inwardly at the apparent improvement and completion of his newly created ability!! ...

Or one could even take it as a sub-ability!! ...

Anyways as the flames themselves were something created by his Elemental Resonance!! Therefore they were still under his control and connected to him!! ...

He flickered his hand- Dispersing the flames!! They took a minute to completely die down thereupon what came before him was a pure land of molten magma!! ...

His gaze travelled further and finally focused on the figure of a charred black corpse!! His gaze flashed in obvious amazement on realizing that the Elf was still alive!! ...

"Come Lina!! ... "

He hovered and flew towards the soon-to-die Elf!! ...

On reaching him Black couldn't help but probe!! His tone curious!! "Didn't I say you might loose your life yet you didn't believe Me and now look where that his gotten you!! Zid Flamehart!! ... "

Zid with great difficulty turned his head!! His gaze fixed on him!! ...

'I had an inkling that you were different from other! Even strong beyond what your Level or Rank made you out to be!! However I never could've imagined that your attack would be just as destructive as mine despite the clear rank difference!! ...

If I had known!! I would've never given you that opportunity!! ...

Guess I was too conceited in My own strength that I refused to acknowledge yours!! Even when I felt the strength behind your Aura!! ...

Taking that as nothing but My imagination!! ... '

He smiled wryly!! At which Black immediately grimaced!! Because that smile was nothing but creepy!! Disgusting and hideous on the Elf's charred and seared face!! ...

Nonetheless he still communicated back!! 'Looking at your injuries!! It's clear that you won't survive past a few more minutes!! In any case I just wanted to know!! ...

Do you want to live Zid Flamehart!? ... '

The Flame Elf looked at him for a second too long!! Next his soul sighed!! 'I do!! ...

So what's the catch!! ...

What do I have to do or give you in return for you saving My life!! I'll do almost anything as long as it's within My power and ability and doesn't cross My personal or moral boundaries!! ... '

Black blinked!! His expression speechless!! His lips couldn't help but curl the slightest in amusement!! 'Now that came out of nowhere!! ...

But do you really think I would need something from you for simply saving your life!? ...

Don't fret it Elf!! ...

I don't need anything from you or in simpler words you aren't capable of giving Me the things I need and in better words you don't have the things I want!! ...

So relax!! This service is obviously free of cost!! ... '

Black smiled!! In contrast the Elf's gaze twitched!! Never having mocked on his wealth before!! Fusking shit- He was the heir of a second rank pseudo-divine family alright!! ...

And now some unknown Man comes to him!! Defeats him half to death and on top of that he even dubbes him as someone poor!! ...

If Zid was in a good condition!! He might have even puked blood at the absurdity!! ...

In any case!! He closed his eyes!! Feeling the numbing pain fading away and the sensation of his half-dead body coming to life!! ...

The while consciously absorbing and marveling at the effects of the potion Black poured on him!! It didn't take long for his injuries to fully get healed and for him to return to his prime condition!! ...

Feeling like a new person!! He stood up- energized and revitalized!! Turned towards Black but before Zid could utter anything!! He froze!! ...

"First and foremost Zid Flamehart- you should quickly dress yourself!! I suppose you don't want to bring shame to either yourself or family correct!! ... "

Zid examined himself!! His heart pounding a hundred bests with every second!! ...

*Sigh!!~~*

But he quickly calmed and sighed in relief as he saw that some part of his clothes were still there!! Enough to properly cover his privates and save himself from becoming a public exhibition!! ...

He quickly summoned another set of the academic uniform on himself simultaneously completely incinerating the already burned clothes on him with a precise and practiced usage of his Flames!! ...

"Do you still doubt if I'm worthy of My Lina or not Flamehart!? ... "

Black smirked!! His hands going over his Elf's slender waist as he pulled her in his embrace!! Inwardly enjoying the plushy sensation and the addictive warmth of her soft but big mounds pressing against him!! ...

"I guess despite the petty move you pulled on Me- you still won!! So indeed I can't say that you aren't worthy of junior sister Selina!! Nonetheless I will say this- The next time we battle I won't fall for your paltry tricks Black Quantiarch!! ... Do remember that!! ... "

"Why would I battle you again!! For what reason!? Elf!! ... "

Immediately Zid's expression turned annoyed beyond reason! His voice mirroring his expression!! "You!? ... What is your problem!! Do you have a brain injury or something- sometimes you call Me- Zid!! Sometimes Elf!! Other times you would address Me as Flamehart or Flame Elf can't you decide on one thing already!! ... "

"Eh!! ... " Black blinked! His cheeks a faint red!! He scratched his neck with an awkward expression!! Nevertheless after a few bits of pointless chatter with him!! In which he eventually accepted Zid as a friend of sorts!! Black was on his way again!! In search for other participants!! ...

He found some!! Collected there badges!! ...

Some he fused with his own badge while some with Lina's badge!! Though she would try to deny him time and again but one passionate kiss would immediately do the job!! ...

She would become dizzy and Black would fuse the badges!! With such an enjoyable routine the night slowly went by!! The sun could be seen low on the horizon gradually rising!! ...

Moreover through the short night!! ...

They collected a total of 11 badges and after the fusion!! The number on Black's badge went from his initial 31 to 37 whereas the number on Selina's badge went from her initial 10 to twenty-four!! ...

Next from the forest!! Now they were traversing a rocky mountainous region with steep slopes! Many deep valleys and high cliffs!! ...

About an hour later they finally spotted a black-robed figure who's face was hidden by a plain looking pitch-black mask!! ...

"Hooh!! What a welcoming surprise to find you here!! ... "
