The Lost Element

Chapter 42 - A Lingering Spirit

3rd Person's POV:

"You'll be forced to attend the CHA's Training Camp..."

Lian: A what?

Blizzard didn't speak a word after.

Max: The CHA Training Camp is a very strict school where students will be trained non-stop until they feel like their bones are about to break and they could feel their blood almost about to leak from their body.

Shadow: It's a nightmare to people like you lian.

Zeus: Yeah, even if you have insane skills in combat it still wouldn't be enough.

Lian: Oh... I never thought of that...

Max: But don't worry, you're right, we won't let ourselves be beaten by them.

Lian: Right!

Their moods suddenly lit up.

Blizzard: Now c'mon bros! We have one hour to prepare, why don't we give ourselves some little tour before going on battle?

Lian: You know what, you're right.

Lian and the others left the chamber, once outside of the room, he decided to seperate away from the group.

When max asked him where he was heading, he simply stated that he wanted to check on something.

Being completely confused, max asked if he could come, lian said that he'll be quick, and he made sure of that.

---------------------------------------------------

Lian rushed towards the long hallways of the "CHA" and looked for the presence that was bothering him for some time.

The aura felt familiar to him, as if it was connecting towards his witch's core.

"You're almost there where I'm trapped, but are you even ready for what you're about to face?"

Lian: Shut up! I'm going to look for whatever you are and when I find you, you're going to be really sorry.

" Ha ha ha, your pathetic taunts do not affect me little one"

Lian: Oh yeah? That's what the other one said to me before he gave up it's power to me.

"Hmm.. Perhaps you are getting stronger as time passes, but you are still pathetic to me child"

Lian: We'll see about that.

Coming to a stop, lian ended up in a room with a huge door, the presence he was feeling was growing near.

It was calling him, forcing him to enter the room.

Lian checked in the hallways from left to right and saw that no one was following him.

He knew it was wrong but with this type of spirit emitting a strong aura, he had no choice but to confront it.

He slowly opened the door and slid himself in before slowly shutting the door back..

As he entered the strange looking room, he saw several types of blades in their respective pedestals.

Lian: What is this, some kind of a history room?

And his guess was correct, it appears that the room he had walked in on was the "CHA's History of Weaponry" in where all of the sacred weapons used by previous generations of heroes were stored here.

They all had unique designs, never seen before and were filled with incredible power, but enough about that now.

In the middle of the room, lian saw a glowing orb, it had a greenish tinge.

It was encased in a solid glass, it seems that the glass is keeping the orb from spreading it's power even more.

Lian silently approached the orb, it's power was very familiar to him until suddenly, his witch's core appeared in his chest.

Lian: What the?!

It feels like it's somehow communicating with each other.

Before anything could happen, lian felt an arm grab his wrist, the connection forming between the witch core and the orb got cut off making the core return inside lian.

Lian was startled as he saw gunter who pulled him towards him and placed a hand on his waist.

Gunter slowly caressed lian's sides.

Gunter: Hm.. History lover, I like that.

Lian: What do you want.

Gunter: I want you to get out of here, you are not allowed to enter our weaponry room!

Lian: No! Gunter listen to me, that orb your school is holding.

Gunter turned his head to look at the orb that lian was talking about.

Lian: It's not meant to be used as a decoration, it's power should not be concealed.

Gunter: What do you know about this?

Lian: It's hard to explain, just listen to me and set it free before it gets angry.

Gunter: You think I'll simply listen to you? Don't you know that this artifact here almost cost us our lives.

Lian: That's not an artifact!

Gunter: I don't care what it is, now leave before I cancel our deal.

Lian tried his best in talking gunter about the orb but he didn't listen..

Lian: Fine, have it your way, if you won't listen to me then I won't force you, just remember that if it gets out, your life will all be in trouble.

Lian left the room, leaving gunter with the orb.

As he was all alone, gunter turned his head and placed his hands on the glass.

Gunter: What's with you that made him act like this, you can't be that bad...

Gunter took the glass encasing of the orb.

Before he could react, the orb blasted a strong wave, striking and throwing him in the opposite side of the room.

The orb was trying to reform itself now, it was a deadly spirit that acts violently when contained.

Now that it's free, it'll take revenge on whatever is in it's way.
