He had a lot of respect for this man who had stood by his father’s side for so long and he was eager to get to know him better, so he asked him : “Uncle Lucas, do you know why we can’t track them ?”
Lucas smiled at him and said pointing to the wall that was right in front of them : “There are several possibilities, it could have been an impenetrable barrier but thanks to Caleb and his sixth sense we are sure that it is not.
So the most likely thing is that this Titan has sealed the room where he is with Lena and that this wall that separates us from them is only the first defense that he has put in place.”
Axel then said frowning : “This Titan must be a pretty good mage to have managed to deceive our senses.”
Caleb nodded and he told him : “Indeed, that’s why we’re waiting for Colin, we could have simply destroyed this wall and broken the seals with Mykael’s sword but Lena’s life is at stake and I don’t want to take any risks, with Colin, everything should be fine.”
Colin, who appeared suddenly next to Caleb, said to him : “Of course everything will be fine… Lucas, Caleb be ready, the others stay back for now.”
Colin had come as quickly as possible but as they were still fighting 7 Titans and 11 of Cassandra’s men up there, he couldn’t linger too long here.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCaleb had already explained his plan to him and it was very simple, he had to clear the way to a hidden room and then Lucas would destroy the seals put in place by this Titan.
Caleb meanwhile, as soon as the seals were broken, would take care of getting the Titan away from Lena so that Lucas could get her to safety.
This operation had to be done very quickly to try to catch this Titan off guard and minimize the risks for Lena and so Colin said to them once he had put his hands on the walls and found this room : “Okay, I found them, are you ready ?”
Lucas and Caleb confirmed that they were ready, and he then used a very powerful earth spell that reduced all the walls around the room to fine sand.
Except that when you looked closely, you could see that it wasn’t fine sand but the walls that had been so crushed by Colin’s spell that they had practically turned to dust.
When Axel saw this, he remembered how Colin had punched the Knight of Darkness out of the blue when the fight was already over, and how fierce he had been while fighting.
And to think that was before he even became a Priest… Well, he could only feel sorry for anyone who would piss him off or have him as an opponent because Colin really wasn’t kidding when he was fighting.
Now that the walls had disappeared, there was a protective dome of a completely opaque brown color on which seals were placed everywhere, and Axel didn’t have time to see them well that Lucas was already piercing the protective dome with his father’s sword.
Colin then frowned when he saw this dome because he was really surprised by the knowledge of this Titan.
This Titan had used two very powerful earth spells to create these 2 defenses and he had used darkness particles mixed with black ones to create the seals.
Colin seeing this immediately created a short sword made of light and golden particles and he said to Caleb : “This Titan is too dangerous, I’m coming with you.”
He turned to look at Axel and he said to him : “Be ready to intervene just in case.”
Axel nodded and moved closer to Lucas who was still trying to break this dome and destroy those seals, and he said to him : “Let me take care of the girl, I’m the fastest of us.”
Lucas simply nodded and he asked Caleb : “I thought the Titans weren’t that strong, so how could this barrier be harder to destroy than the first one that was put in place by a God ?”
Caleb had no idea but he was really starting to worry about Lena
And so, it was Colin who answered him : “A well-prepared mage with the necessary resources, even if he is not very powerful at the base, can become very dangerous.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis barrier may have been in place for days and he could have fortified it with the help of Talismans charged with earth particles, for example, by adding more layers of spells to it and making this barrier thicker and harder to destroy.
Even these seals may have been created with Talismans charged with particles of darkness to save his Soul force, and the fact that he can use black particles proves to us that this mage is a very powerful mage and that he has probably a lot of experiences.”
Golden grooves had appeared all over the dome and the seals were being slowly devoured by golden flames.
Lucas could feel the pressure on the sword diminishing so he told them : “It’s going to give way soon !”
Caleb had deployed his senses to the maximum and normally if one of them was in danger he would receive a vision to prevent the worst, at least that was what he really hoped.
And when the dome gave way, while they were all ready to intervene, they were caught off guard because this Titan looked seriously injured and he had placed a wall of black flames all around him and Lena.
Lena was hidden behind him and you could only see the bottom of her dress, and this Titan was brandishing his sword looking determined to fight to the end.
But it was obvious to everyone that he was about to collapse, black veins were running all over his body, his face, his neck, his arms…
Colin watched him carefully and then he said to Caleb using the communication stones, ‘We’re lucky, he is still conscious, that means we can try to reason with him. Look, his behavior is strange… It’s as if he wants to protect her.’
