All of sudden, the fireballs that had only been targeting Estian ca flying towards the empress in his arms. Realizing this, Ruin imdiately dodged as a stinging blast of heat missed him by inches.That was close!However, before he could breathe a sigh of release, his senses detected sothing far more nacing.
Damn it! Ruin muttered, when he looked up and his eyes t Estians. His plan to make a run for it while the emperor was still occupied by the fireballs was ruined. Getting caught like this was not part of the plan!
The mont he thought to run, sothing sharp sliced through the air and headed towards him. He instinctively tilted his head to dodge it, but frowned at the pain he felt burning from his cheek. If he had reacted a split second slower, the sword embedded in the building behind him wouldve pierced right through his head.Its been a while since Ive seen my own blood.
The sky above them was brightening once more, as the fireballs began to divide themselves many tis over, and the new ones quickly grew in size. The air was now sizzling as an even greater wave of heat emanated from above.
Seeing how the outlook was grim, Ruin shouted, Emperor, keep those things well away, will you! Or else the empress might get hurt! With those words, he secured Cecile in his arms and leapt off the roof.
Aah!
What the Soone fell down!
People scread in surprise at the sight of Ruin suddenly landing in their midst. However, he ignored them and imdiately broke into a sprint. The sky above was brightening and soon more loud explosions could be heard.Ive got to get as far away as possible right now,Ruin thought. It was clear the balls of fire were aiming at both the emperorandthe empress. Emperor Estian would just have to deal with them all.

Not having the ti to retrieve his black steel blade, Estian deflected the onslaught of fireballs with his fists. Now he wasnt just dealing with those attacking him, but also the ones that were flying over his head towards Cecile. Even as he moved on instinct, there was only one thought in his headCecile was kidnapped.
Perhaps his extre fury resulted in an eerie composure, and he dealt with the fireballs without making a single sound. Cecile had been limp in that mans arms, but luckily she didnt seem injured.
Hes not trying to kill her.But then, what could be the purpose? Why? Why had this man co this far to kidnap Cecile? Was he behind this spell? Was the kidnapping a prelude to extracting so sort of demand from him? But then, why had the man run without stating anything? And moreover, he was definitely a person of the Hyun continent. Why were the Hyun suddenly making a move?
Estians mind was rapidly formulating nurous possibilities based on the situation, but nothing seed to stand out as the plausible conclusion. As he watched the fireballs splitting yet again, he thought about how he needed to chase after the man whod kidnapped his wife. He needed to hurry and rescue her. But before that, he would need to quickly get rid of these fireballs.
Sprinting to where his blade was lodged in the wall, he pulled it out. The sword began to hum with vibration as soon as it was in his hand, and he watched as the blood on the blade seeped and disappeared into the tal.As long as I have his bloodHaving his blood ant hed be able to track the kidnapper.
Estian turned his attention back towards the fireballs as they resud their assault. Instead of dodging them, he held out a hand and a black fog arose. Adrenaline surged as his body trembled. The emperor was well aware that what he was about to do would awaken the Eugendiphs blood within him. It was a asure he wouldnt normally resort to, since hed need to clad himself in that horrendous shell once again if the blood fully awakened. However, he simply clenched his jaw in determination. If it was for the sake of retrieving Cecile, becoming a monster was nothing.
