Chapter 135: Fingers Crosssed
Covered in red lightening that cackled unceasingly and bringing with it a feeling of doom and power, the black fell from the sky.
One would think that for such a legendary weapon its descent would split the winds and create a storm, but other than a few more lightning arcs appearing in the sky, everything was silent and when the axe descended, Lena had a surprised expression on her face.
"What are you doing"
Looking at Blake and then the axe which he had causally swung to the side instead of smashing it on Kail, Lena was left totally confused.
"The time you gave him has passed Blake, you need to kill him now. That axe won't stay with you forever, the second it leaves you, the favour of the heavens will return to him.
Do I need to tell you how much of a boost that would be to him after what he had just gone through?
Who knows what kind of blessing he is going to receive"
"This axe will remain with me for however long I wish it to stay" Blake said throwing Lena a glance that had her shutting up and blinking, watching as he closed the distance between him and Kail.
"Did I just get intimidated?" Lena asked herself in shock, her mouth a little open as she watched the bloody, beaten, but proud back of Blake.
[Ding! You have committed a prideful act + 13000 SP]
Ignoring the bountiful notification message that just dropped down and Lena who was behind him, Blake had a glowing drop of blood gather on his fingertip and then he flicked that blood at Kail, controlling it so it flew into his mouth.
The next instant, just like usual, Blake felt a part of himself leave, and in no time, that split consciousness of his, found itself in a collapsing world of green.
"I've never seen a world so bright, you are quite the joyful one huh."
At the moment, Blake was in the air, floating in a blue sky and looking down at Kail who was simply sitting on a floating cloud his eyes lifeless.
"Why are you here." Kail, asked, his words drawled out.
"Nothing much, I'm just wondering if you're comfortable here" Blake said looking at the sky which was already being devoured by scary black cracks and then the tress and grass down on the ground which were shattering apart to reveal a black blank space.
"What can you do?" Kail asked, his voice disinterested but the fact that there was still a flame lit up in him more than clear.
"I can save you from this destruction. For a moment back in the real world the light of realization flashed in your eyes.
You don't want to end like this do you."
Kail sighed at Blake's question and then he lay on the fluffy cloud he was on and looked at the black space that was soon becoming his new sky.
"I tried to fight against the despair, but I couldn't, it was like my whole being had been taken away from me.
Even now I feel worthless. I'm currently just waiting for the end that is to come."
"You say you can save me, what do you want."
"Your servitude. "Blake answered.
"You're giving me hope Blake" Kail muttered a small smile coming to his face and to their notice, the speed at which Kail's soul space was shattering heavily reduced.
"Seems your help is quite the positive input" Kail murmured, his voice having a bit more strength to it.
"So, you're my only lifeline huh" Kail asked.
"Yes"
"I don't plan on serving you forever"
"Feel free to try getting stronger than me," Blake said with a smirk and unfortunately for Kail, he took that as a challenge and nodded his head, dooming himself as all he just did was transfer his destiny from the hands of the heavens to that of Blake.
A few minutes later, the axe in Blake's hand disappeared and when he turned to walk away from Kail who had begun releasing black fumes from his body, he collapsed to his knees.
"You didn't tell me this thing is such an energy drainer," Blake said as after a bit of struggle rather than being able to push himself back to his feet, he fell down face forward, only barely able to put a roll in his fall so he faced up.
Silently Blake stared at the sky and unlike before, his eyes were calm, a certain peace to it.
"You don't seem worried to be so vulnerable in my presence, do you think I won't kill you."
"Urghh, I'm so tired of being hunted by you, Lena if you want to kill me then do it now or else get down here and put my head on your lap, this floor is too hard."
A few seconds later, Blake was resting his head on a soft pair of thighs, and getting his head gently stroked.
"I hate you" Lena said but Blake paid her no mind, his eyes instead on Kail's status which had now popped up in front of him, all his details accessible.
[Name: Kail Drayden]
[Species: Human]
[Rank: Third order]
[Title: Child of the underworld]
[Soul essence:800]
[Strength: 732 / Agility:780 / Stamina:750 / Vitality:623 / Intelligence: 831/ Mana: 1234 / Charisma: 523 / Will: 1243]

[Blessed by nature. Corrupted by sin, an evil god could just have been born]
"His willpower is nearly as high as mine, and these skills of his, every one of them is epic, with there even being two legendary."
Blake carefully reviewed Kail's status, only being distracted by the man himself when he awakened from his transformation and spoke, an unhurried expression on his face.
"Naomi has noticed that I'm no longer on her side and fled."
"You think Rehabab can't catch her."
"She is a heavy fighter with a master we can't afford to let her return to."
"You want to go after her."
"Yeah, but our battle drained me severely, I need evil mana stones to recharge and for Solara to be awake to heal Naomi when I take her out, it won't be a harmless task."
From the softness of Lena's lap, Blake sighed and with a fluctuation of mana had a high-grade mana stone appearing in his hands.
"How long will it…" Blake started but then sighed when he saw Kail holding the mana stone with his left hand and pointing a finger at the figure of a fleeing Naomi, the new Eternal servant, absorbing mana from the stone and using it to immediately form a ball of mana at his fingertip.
"What an unfair world" Blake muttered in his head. Stay tuned to m-v l|e'm,p y r
