"It's your bad luck that you found when no one else could," Astralious said, but he quickly corrected himself. "Looking at my condition, maybe it's indeed my bad luck that I found you."
"I had been waiting for such a long ti for soone to fall there and be corrupted by . When it finally happened, I thought I could finally return to life. But who would've thought that I would end up with soone like you?"
He still didn't understand what kind of abilities Elias had, which had helped him restrict the consciousness of a Constellation, and not once, but twice! He had never heard of anything like that.
If he had succeeded in corrupting Elias, then he could have stolen his mories along with his body. It would've helped him understand this boy's abilities better. Unfortunately, that ship sailed before he could even get on it.
"Now tell how do you know him?" he asked Elias, who was looking at Silas Ashborn with a very peculiar gaze.
"I don't think you want to know," Elias answered as he watched Silas approach him.
Astralious already hated the fact that he was trapped by a child that he tried to possess. He didn't want to rub salt on that constellation's wounds by telling him that he was the son of the person that had killed him in the first place.
He paid more attention to Silas. He hadn't thought much about it when he first saw Silas in the Ashborn Mansion. But now that he was experiencing the mories of a constellation, he could truly feel the extent of Silas's strength.
Silas stopped before the throne. He brought his hand out of his pocket, and raised it. Elias stood up, thinking that he was going to be attacked. After all, he already knew the outco of this battle.
Silus didn't attack. He simply raised his wrist, and checked the ti on his watch.
"I should be back on ti," Silas said, not caring about his surroundings in the least.
"That bastard!" Astralious clicked his tongue, rembering this mont.
It was still as irritating as it was before. That man ca here to kill a Constellation, and instead of worrying about battle, he seed to be worrying about getting back on ti.
After checking the ti, Silas kept his hand in his pocket.
"Are you here to kill ?" Elias looked like he was in disbelief as the words left his lips, as if his body were no longer in his control.
Until now, he could make so changes to the mory, but when it ca to the core of the mory, everything followed the sa path as it had before, even when he was supposed to be Astralious.
"I have no interest in killing you. But that annoying girl Freya asked for a favor. So I suppose we have no choice in the matter." Silas sighed. "If I don't do it, she'll never let have a day of peace with her constant bickering."
"Besides, does it even matter? You killed soone from the Academy. Even if I let you live, the Academy will still send soone to take care of you. They don't tolerate any interference when it cos to their examination."
"Examination? You call this an examination? They destroyed lives! This is not an examination! This is a massacre!" Elias exclaid, again not seeming to be in control. However, even if he had been in control, he was sure that he would have asked the sa question.
"Don't you find it wrong? If you have strength, shouldn't you protect others, instead of using that strength against the weak?" he asked, his voice growing louder.
"There are so things that are beyond anyone's control. If the world was a good place, then believe . No one would want to do sothing like this," Silas answered. "Unfortunately, the world needs its demons."
"If you don't stop, then I will have to stop you myself! You said they would send more people to kill ? Let them! If they send ten people, I will kill ten! If they send a thousand people, I will kill a thousand!"
Astralious felt like hiding his face in embarrassnt as he heard these words in his mories.
Now that he knew the outco of this battle, these words had beco nothing more than a source of sha. Let alone killing ten people, he hadn't even been able to kill the one person before him.
It wasn't even a battle of equals. He was simply thrashed, single-handedly.
If others hadn't seen this mory, he could have at least lied and said that it was a fierce battle that lasted for ten days and ten nights. He could have claid that he barely lost by half a move after running out of stamina. But the reality was completely different, as was being revealed to Elias.
Let alone lasting for ten days and ten nights, the battle didn't even last ten minutes. Astralious was suppressed from beginning to end, even as his body was sent flying through the moonlit surroundings.
Elias, having experienced the battle, finally understood why Silas was considered so dangerous. In the mory, Astralious hadn't even managed to leave a single scratch on the man, despite being a self-proclaid god.
The only good thing about this mory was that Elias didn't feel the pain. It was a replay of the past, but the pain wasn't a part of it.
After Astralious was thoroughly destroyed, Silas called out his Soul Beast, which flew out from the void.
This was the first ti Elias had seen his father's Soul Beast, and it was an existence that looked no less than an absolute god, and more frightening than the creature flying through the skies fitting the awakening ceremony.
"How was I supposed to know that his Soul Beast was also a Constellation?" Astralious scoffed, watching another mory that he wanted to forget. Until now, he had been thrashed by Silas, and now it was the turn of a Soul Beast.
Silas's soul beast flew toward Elias, but just as it was about to kill him, everything stopped. Elias saw a familiar screen materialize before him as the mories ca to a halt.
