Both of them made
their way to the main hall, Nap ordered something to the servant in a low
voice. After some time, the servant brought Nap something that was
wrapped in gift paper.
“Miss Eliss, Here is the image of the person that I despise the most, Please see it later” With these words Nap left her and went near to his mother.
“Do you really like Miss Eliss? You even prepared a gift for her.” Elora teased her son.
Nap couldn’t reveal his true intentions because doing so would put him in trouble, especially with his father. He merely smiles.
Many musicians entered the main hallway, amongst them the twenty muscular people were carrying a large drum of four meter diameter. The people move aside to make a room for these 20 strong individuals, each of whom was holding a drum. Other musicians were behind them.
Following the sound of the drum, each musician started playing their respective instrument. There was no loud or low sound in the song. Nap went on stage with his parents.
At this stage, an elderly man was standing and looking at the manuscript in his hand. This elderly man was a high priest who assisted in praying during both birth and death. He also assisted in naming children in accordance with the position of the stars at the child's birth time and day. The High priest repeatedly narrowed his eyes as he turned the manuscript next page.
“It is impossible.” The elderly man murmured quietly.
“High priest, what’s wrong?” Falco asked.
The elderly man was completely perplexed as he stared carefully at Nap.
“Lord Falco, Could we talk alone?” The high priest made a courteous request.
Falco nodded, and they both exited the main hallway and went into a room where nobody could listen to their word.
"Now explain why you're freaking out?" Falco posed a serious concern. He was really serious about his son name ceremony; His son will not only represent himself only, but also whole Bladeluiff family.
“Lord Falco, Your son doesn’t have any trace of fate in this world. I've only ever witnessed this kind of circumstance when interceding for the deceased one.” The elderly man calmly stated, he had no fear while speaking with Falco. Despite the fact that he holds no noble titles, he had some power because of his followers.
As soon as Falco heard the High Priest's words, he realized why the High Priest hadn't discovered his son's fate. Nap was born dead, but with the help of his family life long protected treasure, His son was resurrected from the dead.
He approached the High Priest and leaned in close to whisper in his ear.
Both of them eventually made their way back to the main room.
Others had curious expressions on their face.
The high priest grinned as he spoke "Lord Falco's child was born at a time when all-star was heavily emphasized. He has a fantastic future and will live a long life.” He continued to speak in a way that the crowd found agreeable; he even added more favorable words.
Falco had scared the elderly guy with his reputation to keep quiet. If others learned that his son was not a typical child, they would view him as an alien being. Falco threatened the high priest if he revealed or leaked his finding, he will ruin his reputation, by creating rumors having multiple affairs with married women. He never imagined that one day he would have to play the role of villain for his son and threaten others in such a disgusting manner.
High priest added, smiling helplessly, “Arist, which means love, kind, and a countless number of years to live, is the name I and the Baldeluiff family have decided the youngest one name will be.”
Others started clapping their hands.
“Congratulation! Bladeluiff family for choosing a good name.”
At the same time the High priest began his prayer, it contained a song and poem about the god and goddess. As the prayer ended, the banquet started.
The High Priest, the Cloud family, and the Bladeluiff family were seated at the same table.
[Congratulations, the host now has a name]
“It's very annoying. I already know, I have a name, and this system will also notify me.” Arist reasoned.
“You and Arist are really getting along.” Cirris said when he noticed his daughter carrying a gift.
“Father, …” Eliss stopped her words mid-way; she wanted to deny, but she had to describe a conversation, she had with Arist. She felt awkward saying in front of others.
“Baron Cirris, your daughter's age ceremony is coming near. I'm hoping she can awaken a powerful elemental affinity.” Falco smiled as he said.
"I'm really worried about my daughter's age ceremony because it will ultimately define her future." Cirris spoke with worried voice.
Falco turned his face to the audience in the main room and smiled as he saw everyone eating and listening to music at the tables.
The rhythm of the drum sound suddenly began to divide the flow of music.
BOOM!, BOOM!
Twenty drum tear apart at once and twenty black robe figures appeared, Guest neared the musician immediately backend with frightened face.
The drum pieces were all around the floor, and the twenty black robe figures with black masks on their face didn’t waste any time and immediately rushed toward the bladeluiff family table.
Falco and Cirris both notice them and quickly got up from their table since they were aware that the other person must have malicious intentions. Nobody would visit while hiding like this. Ten fire swords manifest from mana and struck the invader, blasting ten of them into the hall wall while the others stayed standing and facing Falco.
“Who are you? I cannot recall inviting you.” Falco arched his eyebrow and spoke loudly. He can see that the majority of them are Eight-level Mystic Adepts mages, one level below him. Cirris, who was standing at the left side of Falco, was also quite curious, what the other party was planning?
In addition to instantly surrounding the man in the black robe, the other guard also promptly came in front of Arist, his mother, Eliss and High priest to keep them safe from any misconduct.
Instead of responding, the invaders in black robes formed a triangle and sprinted toward Falco.
Falco once more unleashes ten more fire sword manifestations, but this time, when they made contact with the black robe figure, they didn't injure them; instead, the black figure just put a hand in the black of each of their front foes and absorbed the attack.
As soon as this event happen, Falco was alarmed and yelled in a furious tone, "Guards destroy their formation. They are all water element mages.”
If the level of the fire element mage were higher than the water element mage, then the advantage would not exist. However, Falco's level was not significantly higher than that of his opponent, and since his opponent was using some sort of formation technique, he immediately gave the order to his guard to break the formation.
Falco and Cirris both joined the guard and started attacking the formation, but their attacks were all ineffective. The black robe figures constructed an water shield that blocked all attacks. Some guards who attempted to physically push the shield away were killed, the shield outer layer transformed into a sharp needle shield that was piercing the guards' bodies and made numerous holes in them. The floor was covered with multiple internal organs.
Upon viewing the mess on the floor, Arist and Eliss both puked heavily. They were not accustomed to this situation, up until this point; they were still just innocent children with no worries.
The guests started to flee in all directions. Some even ran toward the exit door with frightened faces. They always view Lord Falco and Cirris as strong individual forces. When they realized their predicament, they made an immediate attempt to leave this hall.
First batch guest who try to reach the exit door, their head flew away with flying blade.
“This..” Falco noticed that the ten black robe figures blasted away from his previously attacked, they just attacked his guest.
“Final formation” One of the black robes figures shouted, the other black robed figures immediately switched from a triangular shape to a circle formation.
The remaining two guards, Cirris and Falco, were inside the circle formation; they were unsure of how they got there.
Falco saw that there were another ten black-robed people approaching them, but they quickly altered course and headed in the direction of his family.
Falco roared violently, "No."
He attempted to leap off the circle's formation, but the black-robed figure imprisoned him by creating a cage out of their water element.
“Eliss, Run.” Cirris said while spitting blood. He had wounds all over his body and was in very poor shape. His cultivation level was the same as the opposition's, making it difficult for him to fend off their joined attacks. Falco was also having trouble, despite having a level higher cultivation than the opposition. If not for their peculiar formation, he would have already chopped a few of them to pieces.
“Edaaz, Leave with Miss Eliss and Arist.” Looking at the man in the black robe coming closer, Elora said. She couldn't fathom why they were going after their family.
“Lady, we can’t. Your level is the same as this group.” Edaaz said, Even though he was a chief of the other guards, his level was only at ninth level mystic apprentice, whereas the guards around them who were being individually taught by Lord Falco were in fifth level mystic apprentice mage.
They were all royal to bladeluiff family and could sacrifice themselves for this family at any time.
[Special quest: Protect your life]
[Level of difficulty: Hard]
[Reward: 1000 trading point]
[Additional reward: Real-life Simulator ability]
Arist heard the alert, but he paid it no attention at all. He was standing there motionless. Eliss and the High Priest faces become pale.
It was now too late for them to even flee at all. They were now in the presence of another party.
“Why do you want to harm my family?”
Seeing them not returning any answer, Elora exploded furiously “Are you all deaf?”
Arist, Eliss, and the High Priest were on the backs of the five bladeluiff guard.
Large water hand formed in the air and launched towards Elora, by one of the black robe figures.
Elora didn't want to attack rashly because of her child. Others may easily be killed by a single error, so she tried to block with her ice block. She was shoved back though, due to impact, and coughed up mouthful of blood.
Arist finally came out of his frozen situation, seeing his injured mother, he roared angrily, "Go and rescue my mother."
The guard didn't wait either because they already knew if Elora fall. They were all going to die.
The guard and other black figure instantly started fighting, but it only took one move for other party to shot out the guard away.
Just as the water spear was thrown by the other party was going to precise Elora, A figure came in front of Elora and took the attack.
“Shift,” Arist said in low voice.
His chest was badly impacted when the water spear pierces it. Arist instantly collapsed on the ground with bloody hole in his chest.
“No.…..” Elora coughs up more blood.
"Let's go!" Loudly, one black figure said. They all formed water typhoon in the hall and disappeared from the hall, if they were not in the hall from the beginning.
When Falco realized that this typhoon was merely a screening for their escape, he hurried over to his wife. He saw his wife sobbing as she was holding their son.
