”Welcome back, little dragon.” Orpheus declared with a playful smirk on his lips. Atlas’s huge body shivered. She felt goosebumps rising all over her body. Nix was back on her feet; there was a light smile on her face; as expected, no one could beat her faster when it came to the darkness attribute. Most of the weak-willed vampires still hadn’t regained consciousness, so they had been cleaned and were replaced with strong-willed ones. They couldn’t look at Orpheus in the eyes, afraid of getting swallowed by the darkness surrounding him. ”What do you want?” After a long moment of silence, Atlas, who was not an idiot, asked Orpheus what he wanted because only an idiot would think that Orpheus did what to show how powerful he was at wielding the darkness attribute; he did that because he had a goal to achieve and not playing the fearful idiot and directly asking him what he wanted would be wise and it would increase whatever value she had. She had come to this conclusion after five minutes of silence, and Orpheus was pleased with her wit; she would be more useful this way. ”Not bad little dragon. I just have one question for you; you have a way to get in contact with your master once I remove the restrictions, right?” Nix frowned because, from this question, she had indeed confirmed her guess, and she couldn’t help but think what her father was about to do was dangerous; however she didn’t dissuade him because she understood and knew when she should step in and when she would not. ”Yes, I have a mean to contact my master through my soul crystal he must be holding.” Atlas did not hesitate to answer and even gave detailed information. Whatever goal this man had, it was bound to fail because there was no way he would be stronger than her master. He is undoubtedly skilled, gifted in the art of darkness, but so what? Her master could use many attributes and be proficient in every one of them, a true genius. So, being good with darkness attribute or being capable of using another attribute would change a thing, as going against the greatest genius Elysium had ever birthed could only mean an inevitable defeat, so she would gladly disclose any information that would make this arrogant man’s confidence skyrocket forcing him to make a mistake, which would become his grave. Orpheus chuckled as he could read through Atlas’s mind like an open book. He gestured to Nix to lift the restrictions while secretly enveloping the whole island into his domain; by doing this, the other party would be unable to locate them, and he would be unable even to get an appropriate location because he threw few baits all around to confuse the enemy. ‘Time for our first confrontation, or maybe not.’ Orpheus thought as Nix removed all the restrictions placed upon Atlas, and she immediately contacted her master. °°°°°° At the same time, in one of the biggest and most beautiful mansions on the campus, the Star Academy, one young man was sitting in meditation when he suddenly sensed a connection to his mental world; it was a familiar feeling he hadn’t felt in a while and was waiting for; still, he stayed vigilant as he entered an alternative mental world he created out of cautiousness. This young man was none other than Atlas’s master and Emea’s fiance, the dragon’s prince of the most powerful race in Elysium. As soon as he entered this mental world, he tried to call out for her but noticed that something wasn’t right. ”At- Who are you?” He asked after stopping mid-sentence, and the response he received was mind-blowing. ”I’m the one that cuckolded you.” Orpheus’s voice reached Emea’s fiance’s ears, leaving his mind blind, and the only response he could have offered at that moment was. ”What?” Arthur swiftly turned around, but he shouldn’t have. Because instead of being greeted by Orpheus’s face, he was welcomed by a kick. Still, he didn’t panic facing this unexpected action, and just as the kick was about to connect, it got stopped by the wind shield. ”Wow, not bad for someone who got cuckolded.” Orpheus, in a pitch black form, said as he brought his leg down. He was not surprised by Arthur stopping his kick; he would have been disappointed if he could get surprised by this little thing, not after all precautions he had taken. ”Where is she?” Arthur, after calming down, asked instead of asking about Orpheus’s identity; he felt like he would be playing within this man’s palm if he were to ask that. Instead of answering his question, Orpheus stepped on the ground hard. Crack! BOOM! It exploded, and he shot forward; Arthur sighed as he also shot forward, and soon, the two met midair and exchanged thousands of blows in an instant. They were so fast that only mighty origin masters could hope ever to follow their movements, and they would have been shocked at what they saw because those two fought only using one arm. Yet, they had destroyed this mental world several times; if it weren’t because it could heal, it would have been destroyed already. Finally, as if they got what they wanted from each other, they stopped, putting some distance between them. ”Good, very good. I will ask one more time, where is she?” Arthur praised Orpheus while simultaneously asking; he secretly tried hiding his trembling hand, to think in physical context he would meet his match; he could guess to a certain extent the identity of this man. If he were who he believed to be, then things would be more complicated than predicted. ‘To think that a small and worthless world would hide something this dangerous, no, this world is worthless because it was it would have produced a such monster. I can’t see through this world at all. I’m glad I’ve sneaked in.’ Arthur thought while waiting for Orpheus’s answer, he was sure that he would answer him, and indeed the vampire progenitor didn’t disappoint him.
