Chapter 52 : borrowed time
Aren's POVThat evening, we returned to the village and stayed at the house to rest for the night. Our plan was to leave first thing in the morning to continue the mission.While preparing dinner, Frexia couldn’t help but complain because Akexia was joining us at the table."Tell me, why is she even here in our home?" Frexia muttered irritably. "She could have stayed at the guest house."I let out a sigh at her behavior. "She’s part of our team now; you should treat her as a comrade.""I understand that you need her for the mission," Frexia countered, "but this is still our home. She doesn’t need to be with us every second."I tried to explain to Frexia that she should be kinder and treat Akexia as a friend since we needed to work together. To me, sharing a meal wasn't a big deal. I even asked if she was still feeling jealous of Akexia—who was currently going by the name Amora.Akexia suddenly chimed in."You know, I actually like your husband," Akexia said playfully. "He’s n
Chapter 51 : The new companion
Due to the severe injuries racking her body, Akexia could barely move from where she lay. As she hovered on the brink of death, Frexia approached slowly, her claws bared with the lethal intent of delivering the final blow."Surrender now, or die."Frexia stopped before her, looming over the girl to intimidate her. But instead of begging for mercy, Akexia suddenly looked up and smiled. In the blink of an eye, Akexia vanished from the spot. Stunned, Frexia whipped her head around, frantically searching the clearing."She’s gone? Impossible!"When Frexia turned around, she found Akexia standing directly in front of her."Are you looking for me?"Without a moment’s hesitation, Akexia wound up and delivered a devastating punch to Frexia’s stomach—a blow so powerful it nearly lifted Frexia off her feet. Frexia tried to lung forward and grab her, but Akexia vanished once more.She disappeared again? Frexia whispered in her mind.Suddenly, Akexia reappeared above her, driving a heav
Chapter 50: Clash of the Dragonaires
Frexia’s unexpected arrival caught Akexia and me off guard while we were hunting together. Consumed by the mistaken belief that we were involved in a secret affair, Frexia immediately lashed out. What began as a simple misunderstanding quickly escalated until Akexia, refusing to back down, challenged Frexia to a duel.The battle erupted with a terrifying intensity.They took to the skies, engaged in a relentless display of raw power. It was a brutal, hand-to-hand exchange—fists and feet colliding with such force that every impact sent sonic waves rippling through the air, shaking the very earth beneath them. Each landed blow sent the other reeling, crashing into the dirt only to rise again. Frexia took a devastating hit that buried her deep into the ground, but she clawed her way out, her face a mask of pure, unyielding determination. She refused to be outclassed by Akexia, who, conversely, wore a confident smirk as she traded blows with her opponent.Watching from below, my hear
Chapter 49: The Dragon's Jealousy
After concluding our business in the town of Akbe, we immediately headed back to the Black Raven tribe to proceed with our plan. Our goal was clear: we had to convince Frexia to be adopted by the Flause family, enroll in the Zeron Palace Academy, and ultimately claim the title of Top Elite Knight.As we journeyed through the dense forest, we were constantly forced into combat with the monsters prowling the area, especially since we had veered far from the main road. Fighting them was no trouble for Akexia; what concerned me more was her refusal to use the Time Sword. Instead, she chose to engage them in grueling, hand-to-hand combat.It was obvious she was enjoying the thrill of the hunt. Much as I wanted to stop her, I feared drawing her ire. I suddenly recalled her own warning that we were running out of time, yet here she was, squandering precious hours on a mere hobby.What should have been a manageable trek turned into a six-hour ordeal. Our progress was slowed significantl
Chapter 48 : The Flause Proposition
The atmosphere in the room grew heavy and suffocating following Akexia’s revelation. I could feel the Governor’s simmering rage as his gaze pierced through me.I struggled to comprehend why Akexia had pointed me out as the one who killed the Governor’s son. I swallowed hard, my heart hammering against my ribs; it felt as though he was ready to strike me down where I stood."You have a great deal of nerve," the Governor growled, "coming before me to admit you killed one of my sons."Anticipating a violent outburst, Akexia quickly intervened, recounting the details of what had transpired to Isaa."I understand your fury and your desire for vengeance," she said calmly, "but it would be wise to listen to his side before you pass judgment."She paused, her voice steady. "He is simply a man who acted to protect his wife from your son’s attempted assault."Despite his wrath, Isaa forced himself to maintain a semblance of composure. He demanded an explanation, his voice low and dangero
Chapter 47 : The governor office
The municipal hall was eerily silent. While time remained frozen, I hurried through the corridors, the sound of my own footsteps muffled by the magic. I checked every room, my heart racing with every handle I turned. Finally, I came across a heavy set of double doors marked Governor’s Office. Two soldiers stood guard outside, mid-blink and perfectly still like wax figures."Finally, I found it," I muttered, catching my breath.I pushed the doors open and stepped inside. The office was spacious, smelling of old paper and expensive tobacco. Behind a mahogany desk sat a man in a magnificent, elegant uniform. Gold medals glinted on his chest—unmistakable marks of his high-ranking status."Looks like this is our man," I whispered.Suddenly, a faint light flickered from the crystal embedded in my hand. Ora and Akexia emerged, their forms shimmering in the stagnant air."Be careful," Ora whispered, her eyes scanning the room. "I sense magic spells active in this room. He’s also carryin
