Chapter 38: Target
"Da the slate roof tiles in anger His eyes eht wasted, and nothing of it&8221; He sighed, running his hands through his hair
He and hisfor the Titan to show up They’d gotten zero results, and instead left hiue behind theer&8221; He called out two na his hand forward
Iuard appeared One of them was human, while the other was a vampire
While this planet was under the control of the Aurelius Family, the vast majority of its inhabitants, and most worlds controlled by the Family, were not vath that could grow to high levels without even training in er orwas, the harder it was to have offspring
Therefore, while the hand of the Aurelius may stretch far, the nue when compared to humans or the Aeth, or other populous races
"Maintain the stakeout just in case, but uard to switch over and let the men rest&8221; Since the Titan hadn’t appeared immediately, he’d need to do this one by the books Annoyance and worry filled hiret If he knew this would’ve been so much trouble, he never would’ve framed the Titan
"Yes sir&8221;
"Yes sir!&8221;
The pair responded with sharp nods, and set to work inforain, and then vanished froan to break, headed ho in the city was strictly off lie, so he decided to walk
"Finally&8221; Dorian’s eyes gleamed as he watched the vampire Wizard break off from the rooftop after hours of observation His patience had been stretched thin by this point
‘Ausra, how ?’ He queried, checking Hurowth i into an adult He didn’t exactly have the clothes for it, and with daylight unfolding, he could be left in an unpleasant situation
‘9 minutes and 12 seconds’ Ausra responded coolly
Dorian nodded He could ith that He’d probably want to s considered, since the guards were looking for a Titan, and his other forms weren’t really applicable
He kept to the shadows as he trailed after the va his distance The va hiood reason Ausra had him labelled as a Grandmaster Class Wizard The innate barrier of a Grandmaster Class Wizard could nullify the impact from a thousand pound bloith ease, let alone any thieves or attacks That, coth and durability as a va to Ausra, studying rowth to maturity of any creature with a bloodline that had potential to grow, through the laws of this world It worked differently for different races
The h to, say, the Grandrow and adapt to that level of power
He shook the stray thoughts frolea to life He couldto walk the streets Hunters, heading out of the city to hunt beasts on the World Bridge, or to cross over to other islands Miners crossing to anytheir trade or preparing to leave on expeditions
He also saw a few beggars, lying on the side of streets or alleyways resting It seemed poverty was a curse in this world, just as it was back on Earth
The world around was starting to come to life
No one paid attention to a poorly dressed street urchin, , the vampire Wizard turned into a different residential area, one that was entirely fenced in A gate blocked off any normal entrance to this exclusive section of the city Several raised black walls blocked off passage around the area, leaving the only way in over the wall or through the gate
The gate itself seeave off a faint, yellow light
Past the gate, Dorian could see several luxurious mansions, at least ten of them, many of them veritable palaces due to their sheer size, spread a hundred ardens stood between each ho the area a natural, comfortable look Not at all as if it was in the ht he’d seen in the city yet
The vaate shivered and then opened up, allowing hi the place
Dorian frowned as he saw this His eyes trailed up, looking at the walls and above them
Just faintly, he could uessed that if he flew over it, it ate appeared to be so out the way He didn’t see anyone else ate, it seemed like an exclusive community that people would rarely enter or exit At least, not in the early hours of dawn
There were few peopleanywhere near this street The hoht were still closed up, and the street itself nearly e of that kind in this residential sector of the city
As he was considering what to do, an idea popped up in his head
He kneas able to absorb energy froy He hadn’t fully tested his ability yet Noever, see to escape or in any danger If so, he’d be able to deal with it safely
Dorian sate
He took one last surreptitious look around the street The grey and white paved stone road was empty for the most part, the nearest pedestrians at least a hundred ht hand on the gate He felt a slight tingling feeling as he touched it, and then nothing
‘Ausra, got any tips on absorbing energy froic objects?’ A question he felt he should’ve asked far sooner
‘It is a natural talent unique to your Soul Spell Matrix, and like other skills or Abilities, you simply need to will it to happen’ Ausra replied punctually
Dorian nodded and then turned his focus to the gate before hi any energy in the gate to flow into hiht hand This feeling began to become war to forht appear A huge,above him Almost within reach
Dorian stared at the orb, and then willed it to come to him
And it did
All of a sudden, his entire body was suffused in a ht, for the briefest instant His entire body felt as if it was about to i lasted briefly before disappearing without a trace
A split second later… the golden gate in front of hi, almost invisible shield that covered the walls and the air above them shivered, and then vanished
Just after this, Dorian instinctively pulled up his growth status
&8211;
-Hue: (1/2) Huress – 59,794/300 &8211;
&8211;
Dorian’s eyes opened wide in shock as he checked the values, and then checked theain in astonishy?!&8221;
Ralf checked his appearance in his entryway h he was ho one’s appearance was i
He had finally o to sleep Heat the ornate staircase, white stone statues that adorned his walls, and antique white teak wooden floor His hue
"Master Tornstrew!&8221; Before he could even rand staircase, one of his subordinates ca in A vauards Favian was his na to keep the irritation out of his voice The h to only disturb hient
"It’s, uh, it’s Molf sir&8221; Apparently the man’s name was Molf
"And, uh, sir! The Protection Spell Field of the 12 Palaces has collapsed!&8221; The vampire continued, his eyes wide
Ralf stared at the man, incredulously,
"It collapsed?&8221;
"Yessir, it collapsed!&8221; The guard replied, nodding his head
Ralf kneaded his forehead, feeling a headache trying to force its way in,
"Favian-&8221;
"It’s Molf, sir,&8221;
"Molf,&8221; He began, glaring at the guard for interrupting him,
"The Protection Spell Field cannot just ‘collapse’ It was put into place by a coy Cores A meteor lobbed by a Lord Class Fire Wizard couldn’t put a dent in the Spell Field, let alone cause it to collapse&8221;
Molf squir uncomfortable as he responded,
"Well, uh, sir I know&8221;
"But,&8221; he continued, gesturing towards the front door,
"It, uh, well, it did&8221;
Ralf turned towards the front entrance of his house He blinked and then walked forward, stalking outside, his anger building to a crescendo as he raised his hands up
"What in the name of the heaven’s do you…&8221; His voice trailed off
Ralf’s eyes were trained, able to see and detect faint traces of ical waves exploding back and forth overhead erratically
The perfect ie of a collapsed Spell Field
His jaw dropped, and his hands raised in anger slowly fell as he stared at the dying sky above,
"…&8221;
"…what?&8221;
"Ulp!&8221; Dorian burped, feeling a satisfied feeling in his stoiven hi He s around at thein on the one the vae, three-story tall white mansion es and great long s A sarden of trees peppered its yard
There were only a few azed at the house, his mouth thin He then darted off into one of the luscious trees near the entrance, his eyes staying on the house, and began to prepareIf you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc ), Please let us know < report chapter > so we can fix it as soon as possible
