The scene everyone expected didn't happen, instead the person that had been weak and almost dying before had moved away from the landing spot.
The lightning left a huge crater there showing it's terrifying power and energy! the caster isn't pale or swaying still fill of energy!
Dave hanging heart balanced at that moment. He unconsciously signed in relief. Been distracted for a moment on the battlefield can be fatal!
He had seen the scene of where Jude will be fried to a crisp if the bolt had hit him.
'thank the moon goddess the little rabbit
didn't fry'
Joseph slightly curl his lips his eyes full of interest. He also didn't expect the scene and he is extremely shocked although he only had a light expression on his face currently.
A depleted energy can never be restored that fast!
No external factor can change that. Except..?
Seems he isn't the only with a changed body.
'This mustn't be heard!'
Jude cool and calm eyes glance at the crater a surprise look floated across his eyes.
He had been gathering the energy when Dave had begun diverting the energy bolts.
His development is a bit too fast..
The energy seems like a reserve that can only be activated on a condition for him.
And the condition is odd..for that kind of condition to be achieved is..
'Is someone..?!?'
He needed to check his body and his energy flow later.
Still not forgetting about the battle, he prepared himself for the next energy bolt. That burst of energy earlier haven't depleted, seems like it just consumed thirty percent of it.
Joseph cold eyes flickered slightly. The guard Jude had raised up is definitely abnormal for someone that had just performed that feat.
He raised his head up at the cloud and raised his hand.
Jude watched with calm but slightly shocked eyes as Joseph withdrew the cloud.
He didn't know what the other party is thinking withdrawing the cloud at this crucial stage. If he had just persisted with the energy bolts he would have tire both him and Dave without any effort and still be full of energy.
'it will be a shame if he died quickly'
"You have one more day"
Joseph turned around and left. From a distance one can't see a faint arc formed on his lips.
Dave walked forward to Jude and placed his hands heavily on his shoulder.
Jude slightly moved away and looked up calmly.
The man's lecherous gaze reminded him heavily that at the moment he is still naked.
"You owe me one pretty boy" Face said between hearty laughter and left. He happily head towards the direction of the brothel.
Jude stare at the back of the two men leaving in opposite direction and focused more on one.
The man didn't just leave him without leaving something.
The dark cloud have gone and the energy is malevolent dissipating. More and more people were approaching the place.
The energy although dissipating is still thick and spine chilling only those of relatively higher levels can come to investigate now.
Jude senses the approaching figures and went away.
Today he has underestimated Joseph and had suffered for it. He had also learnt something new about himself which he needed to work on.
He arrived at the hostel just in time to see Papillon hurrying figure with Tobias in tow running up to him.
"Take" Tobias took of his jacket and handed it to him.
Jude took the jacket and covered his private area.
He looked cool and collected throughout the wrapping not like the man that had just ran naked through a crowd.
"It's good you understood" Jude nodded with appreciation to Papillon.
Papillon coughed and nodded with a light pink shading her cheeks.
Earlier when Joseph unleased his fire dragons, Papillon was suppressed by the energy and couldn't command her body to move.
He was lucky she is behind him and as soon as the dragon came after him he went to her after circling around a few guards and lightly placed his hand on her face with a bit force.
*Smack
She had regained a but control of her body then giving him the chance to direct some of his energy to help her in moving.
He distracted the dragon and others but a nagging feeling told him Joseph knew.
Papillon had escaped and brought Tobias to help in fighting.
"I apologize for not coming earlier" Papillon said embarrassed.
" It took some time to gather the supplies and help" Tobias cleared his throat and added.
"Ahem" it took a long time for him to prepare.
"No need. You wouldn't be of any help if you are there anyways" Jude said coldly.
He can't escape from Joseph earlier, he doubted whether this two cam be of any help.
Tobias face turned red" I could have took on Dave while Papillon helps with Kira and Beauty"
Jude looked up and Tobias, the latter is a head taller than him so he could only look up. The boy seems unreliable no matter whatever way you see it from.
"You are no match for them" Jude dismissed.
Tobias frowned and silently agreed. A common maid from the Powers manor can kill him effortlessly not to mention heirs in training.
It won't take up to a second before his neck is snapped!
"Let's go inside" said Jude leading the way.
Papillon caught up with him and said in a low voice.
"What happened out there?"
The burnt marks are pretty prominent on his body and his steps aren't confident like before.
And the huge mass of blackness in the sky that can be seen from anywhere in the school that had released a fierce energy earlier?!!
"The situation is no longer simple" Jude replied.
Papillon signed and looked ahead.
"Are we spared?" She asked at the door and glance in to see Tobias slightly tensed figure.
"For now" until when Josephina finds out, he didn't add the last part.
Papillon clenched her fist and walked in. A look flashed across her eyes watching the boys.
