Adam smiled. Previously, he had been worried about telling his family about this whole Immortal Realm and the powers that came with it. He was unsure if they would be willing to accept such a strange invitation and if they could handle the training that was to come. But seeing them now, standing together with him in this strange and magical place, he felt a sense of pride and excitement for what was to come."Alright then," he said, clapping his hands together. "Let's get started. Helia, please train my mom and Lilith according to their respective talents."Hearing this, Sarah furrowed her eyebrows. "What do you mean we have talents?"Adam chuckled. "You'll see," he replied mysteriously.Helia stepped forward, a warm smile on her face. "Don't worry," she said to Sarah, before handing her a small crystal. "Just touch this crystal and we'll find out what your talent is."Sarah hesitated, unsure of what to expect. She had never believed in anything magical or mystical, but seeing her s
However, Helia sighed, interrupting their thoughts. "But I'm afraid that's all I can do for now. I can only train Lilith in the use of her fire powers. I am not skilled enough to teach Aria in the use of her nature powers or Sarah in the use of her empathy abilities."Adam looked sad but understanding. He knew that this journey was just beginning."It's okay," he said with a nod. "Lilith can stay here with you and continue her training. Aria and my mom will have to go back to the mortal world."Lilith shivered, not wanting to be left behind in this strange and magical place. She turned to Adam, pleading with him to stay."Please," she said, her voice trembling. "Don't leave me here alone. I'm not sure I can handle it by myself."Adam smiled at her kindly, understanding her fears."Don't worry," he said, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "I won't be gone for long. I just need to go back to the mortal world to take care of some things. I'll be back in a few hours."Lilith nodde
Lilith raised a curious eyebrow at Adam's aggressive tone. She had heard him talk about the bank before, but had never realized the level of importance that he attached to it.As Adam hung up the phone, he turned to Lilith."I'm sorry about that," he said. "Just some business stuff."Lilith shook her head, telling him it was okay. "I was just surprised to hear you so intense about the bank," she said.Adam nodded, his expression growing serious. "It's really important. But I'll explain later. Right now, we need to focus on our visit to Heinz's residence."Lilith nodded, understanding that Adam had much on his plate.Adam made his way to Roderick's room, accompanied by Lilith, who was still in awe of his power and responsibilities. As they arrived, Adam noticed that Roderick was still unconscious, lying on his bed.Lilith looked at Roderick with disgust, wondering why he had to be kept alive. She turned to Adam, questioningly."Is his family going to be destroyed?" Lilith asked, her vo
The atmosphere became tense as Hendrik stepped closer to Adam. Adam didn't back down, but stood his ground."Let me make one thing clear, Hendrik," Adam said, his voice firm and steady. "If you don't listen to what I have to say, there will be consequences."Hendrik chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Are you threatening me, boy?"Adam shook his head, his expression calm. "No, I'm simply stating the facts. You would do well to take me seriously."Hendrik turned his attention to Merrick, his lips curling into a sneer. "And you, Merrick, why are you allowing yourself to be represented by this...nobody?" He gestured dismissively at Adam.Merrick smiled, his eyes never leaving Hendrik's. "You don't know him, Hendrik. If I were you, I wouldn't underestimate him."Hendrik snorted, his face twisting into a look of disbelief. "A young upstart like him? Please. What could he possibly bring to the table?"Sarah, who had been standing quietly to the side, laughed softly. "Oh, Hendrik,
Hendrik was feeling extremely panicked. Previously, he did prepare 1 sniper just in case, but it was to shoot Merrick. Not only did the sniper shoot the wrong target, the sniper also shot after Adam was discovered to have strange abilities.Hendrik was now terrified of the consequences of his actions. He had to find a way to fix this mess, but he didn't know how. He looked around and saw that the other members of his team were still trying to figure out what had happened."I...I..." Hendrik stammered, at a loss for words. "I didn't mean for this to happen."But Adam didn't care. All he cared about was getting revenge for Lilith's suffering."Helia," Adam whispered, and suddenly..."Who made my disciple sad?" Everyone heard a very feminine voice, but it took away all their courage.And then, the light in the sky suddenly became dim, making everyone subconsciously raise their heads before being hit by a million feelings of disbelief. They didn't feel any change in weather, nor was ther
"I won't tolerate any harm being done to my disciple," Helia spoke again, her voice ringing with authority. "From this day onward, remember that he is under my protection. Anyone who tries to harm him or any of his loved ones will meet with the same fate as your friends here.""What have you done? Who are you?" Hendrik shouted, stumbling back from the sudden attack.Helia didn't flinch. She maintained her stance, arms aloft as the ominous clouds above them roiled incessantly. The encircling purple lightning that enshrouded her commenced a rhythmic pulsation, and without warning, it dispersed radially, striking indiscriminately.Shrieks pierced the air as individuals attempted escape, yet the relentless lightning pursued, felling them sequentially. Amidst the tempestuous display, Hendrik and his companions came to a harrowing realization. They were utterly at the mercy of this unknown woman and her elemental might."Stop! Please, stop!" Hendrik pleaded, falling to his knees in front of
Adam made his way over to Helia. She was still standing in the center of the lightning domain, her eyes fixed on the destruction that lay all around them.Adam approached her slowly, his aura still glowing with an intensity that was almost blinding. He stopped a few feet away from her.Suddenly, the clouds overhead began to disperse, and the lightning and purple hues slowly faded. Helia stood there, still surrounded by an aura of elemental energy, her eyes fixed on Adam.Adam slowly turned his head, meeting Helia's gaze. His eyes were still black, and there was a terrifying intensity in his stare.Helia stepped forward, reaching out to Adam. She gently took his hand and pulled him into an embrace, holding him tightly."It's over now," Helia whispered, her voice gentle and soothing. "You've done what you came here to do. Let it go now. You'll lose yourself if you keep going like this."Adam felt Helia's embrace loosen and he slowly pulled away from her, feeling a sense of calm washing
And so, they made their way back to Kingsley's home. The journey was long and arduous, but they made it without incident, careful not to attract any unwanted attention.Once they arrived, Merrick gestured for Adam to follow him into his study. The room was dimly lit, with heavy curtains drawn over the windows to keep out prying eyes. Merrick moved behind his desk and took a seat, while Adam settled into a plush armchair nearby.Merrick poured them each a generous glass of scotch, and Adam took a sip, savoring the smoky flavor. He looked at Merrick expectantly, waiting for him to speak."I never wanted to go to Tyria," Merrick began, swirling the amber liquid in his glass. "As the head of the Kingsley family, it is my duty to stay here and protect my family legacy."Adam raised an eyebrow, incredulous. "But if you stay here, you're putting yourself in danger. What about Rose? Do you want to see her suffer?"Merrick looked down at his hands, shame creeping into his expression. "No, of c
