King Of Limbo-217 Chapter 217
Thanks to Lady Rose's words the two sides reached a temporary stand still with neither acting rashly.
The pillars of course felt they couldn't count on Aron and tried convincing the other races but to no avail. The Kolieans had no reason to agree as they only cared for their own survival whereas the Komi loathed humans and thus wouldn't work with them.
However just for the sake of safety both Helar and Elise remained outside the city in an airship not far from Sayiva's so as to keep an eye on her.
While all this was happening, Aron's evolution was reaching it's end.
He was once again alone in the damaged airship with Juliet nowhere in sight, having only gained consciousness now he was unaware of his unexpected guest and just grit his teeth as the final changes began to occur.
"Gahh!!" 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m
His howls echoed throughout the evolution sphere made of thick gaseous mana that resembled fog.
Those guarding didn't react to the noises as it was normal for all to experience some degree of pain during their evolution, the more the pain the more substantial the changes would be.
In Aron's case, it was just that…
…
His howls continued until evening attracting quite a bit of a crowd observing from afar.
Even the pillars chose to remain close so as to speak to Aron and convince him to get rid of Sayiva. They didn't outright fear a confrontation with her but the loses they would have to suffer, leaving them vulnerable in a drastic time for Pesia.
"Where is that damned Gabriel at a time like this? Isn't he the one that always obsesses over being the greatest protector of Pesia?" Ezra, Esmeralda's mother had a look of worry as she stared at the gigantic dome of fog.
Ara Rosenberg who was beside her could only sigh and slump her shoulders ever so slightly, the events occurring the past couple of days had been draining her of her vitality or so she felt.
"He's far to obsessed with his own lineage you know that but for him to ignore our summons is uncalled for even when we have detailed all the happenings." Ara clicked her tongue in slight irritation while bringing her arms into a fold.
"Do you think Sayiva?…." Ezra trailed off after this thought occurred to her, there was no proof to back it up and it was quite the bold claim but her frantic mind just couldn't help but think of the possibility.
"Don't be ridiculous, it must be something else. For now let's not worry, our children have been allowed to pass by Sayiva along with Juliet to see just why her father won't respond. Once he learns Sayiva is here then he won't-"
Before Ara could finish speaking her eyes narrowed towards the fog that seemed to be receding now.
Those guarding it including Selha noticed this as well and quickly turned to face it.
"He succeeded."
…
Back in the damaged airship, the fog like mana had been receding back into Aron's body.
He now no longer looked to be in pain but completely reinvigorated. 'Argos's pool must've lessened the pain at that time, the more mana I hold the greater resistance I encounter when evolving…'
Aron looked at his own hands after learning this interesting point after experiencing his first natural evolution.
He had practically skipped the first stage when he became a beast mongers and received great assistance from Argos on his second, now his third was experienced without any Luna mana within him at all.
With that gone his body now contained the very purest of Sol mana that could rival that of any other beasts.
"Argh."
Aron stood up with some difficulty while feeling his joints where in pain.
Tack! 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮
It wasn't until his head hit the ceiling that he realized his joints ached not because of the evolution but because he had also grown again.
"The ceiling although broken should still be eight to nine feet or three meters…" he made this quick observation before glancing around himself.
It was then that he noticed some thin hair that wasn't his own on his crotch. He lightly took it and held it up before recognizing the thin traces of mana on it.
'Juliet.'
Aron who could remember an individual's mana signature had no trouble quickly identifying the culprit.
What really ran through his mind now was why was in here when clearly no one else was? Other peoples traces were completely overtaken by Aron's and eroded whereas hers remained.
"Tsk."
The feeling of not knowing what was done exactly irritated him but the fact that there was hair on his crotch along with her scent on his body left very few options and he knew this.
What he really wanted to know was why?
Bam!
Aron looked to his left and slammed his fist into the airship's interior wall, making a large hole to the outside which he immediately walked out of, still naked as he saw no clothes in sight.
Even now the mana kept receding into him but he ignored the minuscule pain this brought and just began looking around to see if Juliet was still near.
Unfortunately he found no sign of her but he did detect another mana signature not far.
He left the academy fields and walked over to the back entrance where he found the owner the stationary mana signature he had detected.
"Evanora."
Aron called out to the odd girl sleeping comfortably on the floor of the back entrance way.
He could only think that she avoided others and chose to sleep somewhere isolated just like he instructed her to do when he wasn't around.
But in truth she was only present here because she hadn't slept ever since Aron began his evolution. She watched and waited, only falling asleep when she felt he was no longer in danger.
"Hmm?"
Evanora rubbed her eyes while looking around in confusion before finally facing forward to see the towering figure in front of her.
"Huh?"
For a moment she felt she was still dreaming because the difference in height was just too absurd for her to comprehend as reality.
"Why are you the only one here?" Since both Juliet and Evanora could be within his evolution sphere Aron felt that maybe it wasn't dangerous to some at a certain level.
"Evanora doesn't know. Why is Aron naked?"
Evanora now looked up and down Aron's figure before realizing that he was naked so she asked while pointing at the large manhood dangling between his legs.
"I also don't know." To avoid having to explain new terms to Evanora Aron could only answer this.
"Fascinating."
…
It didn't take long for the fog to fully recede and merge into Aron's body making the academy grounds return to normal, aside from the many dead plant life and eroded miscellaneous items.
With the fog gone, Selha had began rushing towards the entrance of the academy only to meet Aron exiting at the same time with Evanora beside him.
"You…"
She came to a pause upon seeing him as if mesmerized by his body.
In truth he hadn't changed much facially and still maintained the same features aside from the freakish height that was common for Kolieans.
What took Selha aback was the purity of his Sol mana. Without any Luna mana within him Aron didn't restrict his fluctuations so his aura was plain to see for all.
"!!"
As the other Kolieans arrived and saw this as well they too were flabbergasted by what they were seeing, pure Sol mana was being radiated from his body as if he were a being made solely of mana.
One had to know that under normal circumstances only mana beasts held such purity and even among them it was rare, beast mongers had mana purer than others but due to having many colliding wills it made it a good portion impure.
Having this degree of purity meant Aron had not only evolved but he had made all the wills within him his own and completely assimilated the foreign mana into his, giving his mana a sky blue color when taking form.
"Can I have some clothes?"
Aron ignored their glances and asked for clothing instead, he already knew he wasn't normal even among them.
"Right, quickly fetch him some finer clothes his size from the males." Selha quickly returned to her arrogant self and ordered one of the Koliean guards to fetch him clothing.
She was a bit surprised by this order since no male would ever receive such treatment from females. This only served to show how important of an asset Aron was to them.
'Like I thought, they want to nurture me like some fragile treasure.' Upon hearing the tone of her voice Aron could tell she was speaking as if he was an important object and not person.
She didn't change the way she spoke about him, the only real change he could tell was that he was now more valuable than other males. 'Is this the respect and glory you spoke of father? Glorified livestock.'
It wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes that he realized how blind his father was or rather how he just accepted his role in such a society.
"You look well, let me inspect you."
At this moment Selha tried coming close to him but Aron gripped her wrist tightly bringing her to a stop and stared her in the eyes with a murderous look before letting her go a moment later.
"Admire me from afar like everyone else, if you want to be useful then tell me what occurred while I was evolving."
