Nightblade (Darkest night)-Chapter 193: End of the Line

A loud silence stretched over the crowd.

Amanda’s eyes slowly turned back to Anthony in disbelief.

At that point, Lucian and Talia arrived.

Both scions immediately noticed the silent tension in the air.

"You want me to let him go?" she asked quietly.

Morgan stared for a few moments, then let out a heavy sigh and slowly nodded.

" Yes. We’ve come to...an agreement of sorts."

Amanda clenched her fist, trembling slightly.

Her eyes glowed ominously, her gaze hardening.

Lucian fought back a grin.

"Oh, oh, she looks seriously pissed."

" Well those two have a bit of a violent history," Cassius murmured, flexing his arms slightly.

"They’re not exactly on the best of terms."

" Yep, that’s true!" Kelia piped up, smiling ecstatically.

Cassius threw her a furtive distracted glance, raising an eyebrow.

"And who exactly are you supposed to be?"

Kelia pouted in disappointment.

"I feel insulted."

Cassius gave her a questioning look.

" And what exactly is that supposed to mean?"

" Cassius Wulfric, Class A-2, Biological type Talented. I know all about you."

Cassius pursed his lips staring at her in confusion.

" Am I supposed to knowyou?"

He turned back, but this is just about to get even more interesting.

Amanda squared off against Anothy her eyes gleaming with a murderous fury.

Small sparks of electricity flickered around her outstretched hands charging the air around her.

" I’m sorry Morgan, but I find that I cannot agree with that. Do you even know what he out me through? How many times he has humiliated me?

With every word she spoke, the intensity of the current around her increased drastically. Soon, the very air around her vibrated with a static electricity.

An ominous silent hair raising hum permeated the air. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

For a brief moment, the violet colour of her eyes intensified.

Raw waves of power emanated from her rolling through the air,

Anthony stared at her with a resigned expression standing his ground.

Hushed whispers floated though the crowd.

"Isn’t he going to defend himself?"

" Why is he just standing there?"

" Didn’t he already best her once before?"

After a brief while, certain silent figure moved through the crowd.

Morgan slowly walked forward coming to a stop in front of Amanda.

From up close, he could feel the barely restrained current of electricity streaming through the air around him.

Small particles of metallic dust slowly rose from the ground swirling around Amanda, her ability creating a small electric field.

Despite the evident threat, Morgan calmly met her gaze.

Looking at him, the scion was even paler than he’d been moments back.

His breathing was strangely ragged,small beads of sweat running down his forehead.

The cracks in his hands seemed agonizingly more pronounced than before, the thick dark veins pulsating through their entirety painfully.

Despite the situation that he was in, Morgan was strangely calm. In fact if anything, the scion’s quiet gaze was even more terrifying than the talented girl show of power.

Even more terrifying was that the neighbors figure standing behind him.

"Calm yourself Amanda," Morgan calmly said.

" This fight has already ended there’s no need to hurt anyone else."

Taking a step forward he quietly spoke.

"I know you are hurting, I do but there’s no need for anyone else to feel the same thing. Anthony has suffered for what he did to you. I’ve already made sure of it."

For a brief moment, the current lifted her up into the air,

Standing in the side, Talia quietly nudged Lucian.

" Do you think she’ll listen?"

A faint smile appeared on Lucian’s face.

" Who knows, I guess we’re about to find out."

Cassius grinned.

"That probably wouldn’t end well."

" Well, given the state they’re both in, if Morgan fought her, she’d probably stand a chance at winning..."Talia murmured.

Lucian and Cassius threw her mirroring looks of disbelief.

Are you bring serious right now?

Talia nodded.

" While you may not see it, Morgan’s still badly hurt and whatever fight he has with that Talented kid has put in an even worse shape."

Her expression turned grim.

" If they decide to go at it, then we’ll just have to step in otherwise one of them might get badly hurt."

At that point, Amanda breezed past him, stopping in front of Anthony.

Morgan quietly remained where he’d been standing waiting for her next move.

Amanda glared at Anthony for a moment then scoffed and pushed past him.

Morgan smiled faintly then let out a sigh.

"Anthony and I have agreed to call a...truce.

We had a duel, and I won, fair and square. From this point on, we’ll work together. By we, I mean those who choose to remain behind."

Morgan’s eyes swept over the Talented piercing each of them with a cold gaze.

Of course, none of you will be forced to do anything against your own will. The Talented are free to continue as they have been.

"In case any if you disagrees with this, you may leave. But should you choose to stay then you’ll have tocabide with the rest of us peacefully. You may choose now."

A wicked grin appeared on Morgan’s face.

"We agreed on this considering Anthony was your leader but if you would like to challenge this decision, feel free to do so."

Silence.

None of the Talented stepped forward.

" Now that that has been established feel free to stay or leave."

At the moment, Morgan shuddered slightly, his face turning even whiter, then fell to one knee.

Sarenus threw him a concerned look, the flames in his eyes narrowing.

In the next moment, the tenebrous figure behind him disippated.

Morgan gasped for breath, his entire body aching with an agonizing fire.

Cassius jumped scaling the distance between them in one leap, standing in front of him protectively.

A split second later, Lucian and Talia reached him as well.

"Anthony, now’s our chance! Kill them!" A shrill voice cried out.

Morgan warily looked in the direction of the voice, shaking his head slightly.

"Idiot."

In the next moment, Brant charged forward.

" With this, I’ll humiliate you just like you humiliated me," he thought with a sneer.

A triumphant smile appeared on his face.

The ground around Morgan cracked and broke.

With a scream, Amanda launched a bolt of lightning, the stream of energy thundering towards the gleeful Talented.

A giant section of the ground rose pushing away several Talented and taking the brunt of the attack head on.

Brant smiled triumphantly them launched the section of ground at Morgan.

With a roar, Cassius transformed, violent leaping through the air and smashing through the section of rock.

The rain of debris froze mid-air, then slowly floated down to the ground.

Cassius landed turning back in shock.

Throwing him a thumbs up, Kelia flashed him a smile with her eyes aglow.

His eyes narrowed.

"She also has telekinesis, why us she helping us out?"

A split second later, several Talented rushed forward activating their abilities simultaneously.

A cold quiet voice rang out, halting them in their track.

" Enough!"
