Heavenly Opposers

Chapter 245 - 244-The Answer.

Moon Elves had the moon above them, the very singular moon that floats up above below the stars, the closest thing to gaze from the land. The innate resonance that moon elves had to that calling of the moon was something else, but Adria went above and beyond that, she didn't just take the moon, she had aimed for the stars, and Adria achieved her goal too.

Adria took the stars as hers, tapping into the untold power of the stars that exist in all powers of time and fate. Both the spatial resonance of her blood and the ability she chose to wield gave birth to her power, the extremely rare Fate Seeker, a profession and power only granted to a handful across the vast history of the entire cosmos.

And Azrail now poked into such a being. The biggest disadvantage that holds such one back is the presence of anything that might bring a sparkle into their eyes. To the ones that could peer and shift fates, the normal path of life would look dull and grey, no fate would be enough to match their hearts and desires. Thus, the concepts of desire for love are extremely foreign to them all.

And in Adria's case, it's even more special. Her broken soul, the connection of her lineage, the profession she chose to wield—all of this accumulating and coming together to form a much more open prey that Azrail can act upon. The sight that Azrail has shown Adria is something that will drive her crazy enough, a small truth among the truth, that's what Azrail had shown, and its effects now are shining forth.

It's been a few minutes since he had shown Adria his soul path, and ever since then she has been silently floating up above in her soul form, her form itself trembling, its shape changing and fixing back together at intervals. Now all three of them present in the room just kept looking at Adria, who kept twitching, seemingly going through something of her own.

"Cough... did you break her, master?"

Nylan asked, to which I just gave him a side-eye. Valencia was still on my lap, she had more idea about what I did to Adria, as she with a pout spoke to me.

"You don't have to be such a bully, she is still my master after all."

"Sorry, sorry, I will be more careful next time."

Azrail replied with a smile as he patted Valencia's hair, this action quickly throwing out any sort of dissatisfaction that Valencia had as she melted into Azrail's embrace. One can only imagine the face Adria would make if she saw how easily her own disciple was subdued by her anger for her master, though in this case, Adria also couldn't be said to be any better.

And thus, after a few more minutes, everything came to a halt, a bright purple light flashing from deep within Adria's soul as she opened her eyes. Of course, only Azrail could see those eyes opening, the beautiful stars in her eyes now shining forth brighter than before as they landed on Azrail, and for a moment, certain emotions passed, but they were so small and powerless that Adria herself extinguished their fate, a nervous atmosphere formed around the room as Adria spoke.

"I shall accept it for now."

And just as she said this, she disappeared back into Valencia, leaving the three once again alone in the place. Azrail with a smirk looked at Nylan as he spoke.

"Get back to work and try to see if you can get any good ideas on what we might be able to do with Anya."

"Yes, sir." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

And just like a slave, Nylan could only follow the words of his master and get to work, now being used to the bone, and unfortunately for him, due to being an undead he can't even use the excuse of being tired! And Azrail would be using that to his maximum to get everything done for himself.

'Now laying all the groundwork for Adria is going well.'

Azrail's objective of getting Adria for himself is a long process, there is no sudden need for him to get her. Azrail will take his sweet time and slowly make her fall unbelievably for him. The last prize he needs will fall exactly when he turns into more of an adult, one that will be able to bring out moves only an adult could.

'It would be a lot of fun making her blush.'

With that thought, Azrail hugged Valencia tighter as his mind wandered toward his cousin and his mother's family. In a way, Azrail understands them all, and he also has a small idea of perhaps how everything would go. The answer to his ambitious quest could come tomorrow, and that will determine how Azrail could be changing the plans he has for his dear little aunt Kia.

......

"So, what's all your decision?"

Yun asked, seated beside her being Xuanyin, beside whom is Azrail, and the next being Valencia. Raena chose to sit this one out, though from what Azrail could understand, she was drunk and was probably doing some kind of sunbathing atop an extremely large tree in the estate. To Azrail's mother's question, the room turned somber, the rest of the members sitting facing the lineup of Azrail and Yun.

Kia, ever ambitious, now has a serious determined face falling over her, sitting beside her Guo Ai had Fulu Ai wrap her hand around her husband's hands, while Braze also seemed to have shed his initial goofiness. The serious atmosphere raised the temperature all around as Kia was the first one to speak.

"I want to reach the top, the highest point that no one has ever touched, that's what I want."

Her answer was more than showing the path she was willing to walk, to this, Yun nodded with a slight smile, the little proud look making Kia, who considers Yun her model, beam in happiness at her seat. Though Kia quickly controlled her expression to keep a very serious gaze, then the eyes of the room focused on the pair of Guo and Fulu, Guo Ai taking the lead as the old man spoke.

"The two of us have already lived a great happiness of our lives and to tell the truth just this situation of being around like this is the greatest happiness for us, nothing more have we were dreamed of taking..."

The words the man spoke earned nods from all directions, the direction of his words sparking the meaning of his choice, but it wasn't done.

"But we have also learned of the anger and powerlessness we felt when we couldn't protect our daughter."

It was Fulu Ai who spoke this time, extending the words of Guo Ai, both of them looking at Yun who smiled at them, yet it couldn't hide the scars of what had happened in the past and for this, a startling light of conviction started to spill out from the gazes of Guo Ai and Fulu Ai, the atmosphere getting cold yet hot as Guo Ai spoke.

"While we are happy with where we are, both I and Fulu desire to have the power and ability to help our family when it needs help. And we won't lie, the prospects of having power and looking down at the world, who with an ego can say no to that?"

As the final words came to a close, Azrail caught a glimpse of the inner desires for power that he sees in his mother in his grandparents, they might have hidden it well or perhaps after this happiness in mind the inner call of every cultivator for power must have been forgotten due to the status quo of happiness, but no matter how it was lost, it has been renewed back now and it's now glowing brighter than ever.

With such a heated atmosphere, the eyes finally landed on Braze, who couldn't hold his serious face for long. But the face this time he made didn't match any of his goofiness, the face he made this time matched one of hunger for power with the matched desire for protection. With a voice dripping with mischief, he spoke.

"When everyone is in, who am I to say no?"
