"I'll leave it to you then.."The previous King and Rick's older brother decided to leave his fate to Ian. It was the last strand of hope that was left to a dying man, that's what he was entrusting Ian with.With that, Ian's preparation to use the blue flame to cure him began. First of all, there were two things he needed to do."First, I'll need mana stones. A lot of them."Since the blue flame required more than ten times the amount of mana compared to normal healing spells, it was obvious that Ian would run out of mana before he can even heal a single limb. "Mana stones?"Rick wondered what Ian was planning to do as he tilted his head. To which, Ian replied with a serious nod."Yes. Enough to fill at least half of this room."Ian gave him an idea of how many stones he was going to use as he pointed to the room. Now, people may think that although it's an absurd amount, since they were royal's, they could still manage it. But that's where you're wrong. There are some huge misunder
"I'll lend some to you, okay?"Ian said he'd lend the magic stones to Rick while grabbing his shoulder. Ian was in a hurry. He wanted to leave as soon as possible so he chose the quickest and most effective method. Ian's initial plan was simply. Find Riley's family, have a chat with them, and then decide whether he would leave Riley to them or take him for himself. But things had gotten a little more complicated. Not only did Riley turn out to be a Prince and perhaps even the future ruler of the tribe, he also got to meet a remarkable a remarkable individual like Rick. Honestly speaking, if it weren't for his respect for Rick and his struggles, he wouldn't have really cared whether the previous King died or lived. It all stemmed from his relation with Rick, which Ian wanted to maintain for a long time. "You'll lend me...?"Rick repeated Ian's words like a parrot as he looked at him with a blank expression. "Yeah. I'll lend them to you. So don't worry.."Ian nodded his head. "No
"Those eyes.."Everyone looked at Ian with fascination and curiosity as he revealed those golden and majestic eyes. They were reptilian, and had a certain charm to them.An aura of dominance spread from Ian's body, which was being controlled by the Phoenix right now. He wasn't actively trying to dominate anyone actually, it was just his natural aura, the aura of a ruler. Everyone straightened up subconsciously as they felt that aura surrounding them. And suddenly, Ian no longer felt like Ian anymore. Ash and Louis took a step back and observed quietly, giving Ian space to do what he wanted to. Even Rick and the Queen took a step back as their eyes met with Ian's. It was reflex. "I'll start now."He said, even his tone slightly different from Ian. A blue flame similar to what Ian had shown them before appeared in his hand which was holding the previous King's hand. The flame, or rather, healing spell, coursed through the King's veins, starting from the hand and covered all of his b
'Not lie.. But also not worry them?'The Phoenix repeated Ian's words and asked back. Ian nodded his head and asked back. 'Yep. Should be easy, right?'The Phoenix repeated Ian's words in his mind for a few seconds, a vein was popping out on his forehead as he kept thinking and thinking. And at the end of his thought process, he decided that-'Like hell it is!'It wasn't easy. He decided that it wasn't easy at all. All of Ian's people's were extremely knowledgeable, not just comparing to kids their age, but also compared to adults. Ian was always filling their head with new knowledge and information, even while playing around. And even without that, they all had a certain hunger for knowledge which he noticed clearly specially in Ash. The way that kid always holed himself up inside Ian's bedroom and kept reading one book after another looked like his life depended on it or something. And they also grew. Faster than anyone and everyone around them. It was fascinating to watch. And
'That's thirty percent off brother's shoulder!''It's a good start!'Ash and Louis communicated with each other through their gaze. They were happy since Ian let them help. It was frustrating for them to feel like a burden and be of no help to him. Soon, the direction of the mana stones were diverted slightly with Ash and Louis taking fifteen percent of the burden of transformation each from Ian's shoulder. 'Ugh!''It hurts!'As soon as they started absorbing and rapidly purifying the mana just like Ian was doing till now, they felt their stomach curl and a severed pain similar to needles travelling through their veins. They bit their lip hard and tried to get used to the pain all the while wondering how Ian had managed to bear multiple times the same pain till now. The pain they felt in their heart as they imagined Ian going through pain several times severe than their was more cruel and hurtful than the pain they felt from the poisoned mana. As such, they could hold onto their g
"Whoa! My legs gave out!" Ian spoke to himself with a surprised voice while being supported by Ash and Louis on both sides. He had practically no mana left in his body at the moment. As a result, he grew momentarily dizzy and lost balance. "What happened to the poison? Are you okay?" Louis asked as he checked Ian's condition. Even moments before the explosion, his body was completely purple as an indicator of the severity of the poison. And the mana inside his body was as chaotic as a raging ocean. But right now, his skin tone was back to normal, and although he looked a little pale, he was fine otherwise. Even the inside situation of his body was as calm as the surface of a frozen lake. "Blew it away." Ian replied with a, what looked like somewhat smug expression. He was slowly taking in the pure mana from outside once again and regaining his health. "Blew what away?" "The poison?" The kids kept asking questions one by one but Ian didn't answer anything in detail and just
The Imperial Palace was in complete chaos following the huge explosion. The Royal guards were in panicking since Rick was missing following the chaos. Troops were departed on every part of the town to search for their King while the Knight captain remained to investigate the mysterious crater formed due to the explosion. "Did you figure anything out yet?"He asked someone nearby. It was one of their researchers. They were calculating the residue mana to figure out the source of the attack. But no matter how many times they did the calculation, the expected results didn't come out."Hey!"Seeing how hard the researcher was frowning, the captain nudged him once more in an attempt to make him speak. They were currently facing a crisis of national level due to the missing King and the unknown enemies. He didn't have time to spare."Umm.. Yes.. The results came out."He replied with a slightly confused tone."So..? What is it?"Asked the captain with impatience."No matter how you look a
"We waited patiently just like you wanted!""But we missed you!""Yeah. It's hard staying away from brother."The kids shouted one after another as they clung to Ian from all sides. A small smile appeared on Ian's face automatically as soon as their laughter and giggle reached his ear.It was afternoon. The golden sun reflecting on their faces full of smiles and happiness made Ian feel something warm inside. At times like these, he truly felt grateful for this second chance in life that he received. 'It's truly a blessing.'He couldn't help but think that.'You're weird.'A reply from the Phoenix came as soon as he was done with his thought. He wondered what that guy meant this time as he put the kids down and started patting their head.'Reason?'He asked.'You're satisfied too easily.'A straight answer came from the Phoenix. Ian waited silently since it looked like he had more to say.'No matter what your origin is, in the end you're also a human. And humans are supposed to have g
