Mysticals: The Crimson Chaos

23: Adrian

Armon: How do I put this way... Okay, let's say that I possess a great power that's very destructive. I can't control this great power so I chose to isolate myself from other people to prevent harming innocent lives.

Kirbrine: Great power? What do you mean by that?

Armon: Our family's blood is cursed, we have a spell cast on our blood to seal the great power.

Season: If it's sealed, then why are you still not able to control it?

Armon: The seal once broke when I was young. I caused uncontrolled destruction. Luckily, the seal was able to be recast on my blood. I don't want that to happen again so I think meditating here is the best way to train myself to prevent the seal from breaking.

Kirbrine: What causes the seal to break?

Armon: I don't know... The seal on our blood is very mysterious. It's not researched by past wizards so there's no information about it.

...

Suddenly, a strong wind could be felt on Breeze Isle. Agents Kirbrine and Season are warned by Armon when he detects danger. The wind, according to Armon, is abnormal. There is a strong force behind the wind. Additionally, Armon detects the presence of neighboring Water Criminals. Armon urges the Agents to stay alert.

Three Water Criminals approached Armon after emerging from the water. A significant concentration of Haunele bacteria is unexpectedly found in the vicinity by Agent Kirbrine's Haunele Tracking gadget. For the purpose of combating the Water Criminals, Agent Season deploys his Anti-Haunele Weapon. Armon is shielded from the Water Criminals by Agents Kirbrine and Season, but they are quickly overpowered by a destructive spell used by the Water Criminals.

Armon calls a storm to the Isle and unleashes a catastrophic thunderbolt on the trio of criminals. Agents Season and Kirbrine are energized by Armon using a healing wind spell. Agent Season attacks the Water Criminals with his Anti-Haunele weapon. The Water Criminals were hit and then unexpectedly changed into dazzling blue smoke and vanished into the air.

Breeze Isle's sky can be heard emitting a voice. The voice praises Armon's decision to cast an extremely potent spell in order to repel "his" minions. For a fair combat, Armon challenges the voice to come forward. The voice accepts the challenge.

Bright blue smoke appears near Armon. The smoke slowly takes the form of a human shape. The smoke glows extremely bright and slowly fades, revealing a tall man has appeared from the smoke. The man is light-skinned with blonde hair. His eyes are red with red pupils. His pupils are weirdly shaped. He wears an eye patch on his left eye. He wears gray leather armor and iron boots. He wears a dark gray cape. He has a red scar on his neck, extending to his eyes. Judging from his appearance, he has the appearance of a 40-50 years old man, and he seems not to be native to New Magistry.

Armon tries to communicate with the wind to reveal his identity. However, the man preceded him by using a telepathy spell on Armon and both Agents Kirbrine and Season. Their glimpse from the telepathy spell indicates that the man is named Adrian Lynch. Adrian spent more than 500 years imprisoned inside a crystal. He recently broke free from the past decade and began his journey to take revenge on his brother Allan Lynch by absorbing the life force of Allan's descendants.

It is revealed that Adrian Lynch's brother from 500 years ago, Allan Lynch, is Armon Corleone's ancestor. Armon's blood curse is a Crimson Chaos Magic. A particularly potent and incomprehensible variation of Chaos Magic is this kind of power. The Silver Seal, a spell that prevents its wielder from practicing chaos magic, was cast on Armon's blood.

Adrian claims that he spent over a decade tracking down his brother's heirs. Adrian claims that by ingesting the life force of Allan's offspring, he will also acquire the ability to use Crimson Chaos Magic. Adrian bragged of having the strength and skill necessary to harness the force of Crimson Chaos.

In addition, Armon exults in his superior strength over Adrian. Armon can cast destructive and powerful spells without the help of Crimson Chaos. What more if Armon decides to use the power of Crimson Chaos just to kill Adrian? Adrian makes fun of Armon and claims that due to the corrupting consequences of the Crimson Chaos power on the user, Armon wouldn't even dare to utilize it.

Adrian assures Armon that he will not use Armon's life force to acquire Chaos Magical strength. Adrian claims that he will take it from a weaker individual than Armon. Adrian vanishes after changing into a blue vapor. Breeze Isle's skies cleared, and Armon collapsed to the ground, looking distraught.

...

Kirbrine: Hey, are you okay?

Armon: I... I am okay... But... My sister is in danger!

Kirbrine: Aria?

Armon: Yes... Just like what I said and what you saw in Adrian's telepathy, our family has a blood curse. Aria also possesses this curse.

Season: Then why Aria is not meditating here with you?

Armon: Because Aria's seal never broke in the past. She can continue her life and I don't want to rob her dreams by forcing her into meditating for a lifetime. She didn't choose to have the curse...

Kirbrine: Don't worry, we'll make sure to keep Aria safe in our facility.

//Agents Kirbrine and Season's radio receive a call//

Vianne (on radio): Hello? Agent Kirbrine and Agent Season?

Season: Yes ma'am, we're here. We just finished investigating these Water Criminals.

Vianne: That's great. However, The Epidemic has appeared on Nature Island. The Epidemic is way more bigger and powerful than it appeared on Dark Island. Please head immediately to Nature Island as soon as possible. We have sent Agent Bloodlust, Agent Crimson, Agent Midnight, Agent Houndbite, Agent Monday, and Agent Stinger to Nature Island.

Armon: Agent Crimson? That's Aria, right? I have to go there to secure her safety.

Vianne: Who's that?

Kirbrine: Apparently, we met Agent Crimson's brother. He's very powerful and he can control the winds.

Vianne: That must be Armon Corleone, right? Alright, if he's really powerful, then he can come and help suppress The Epidemic.

Kirbrine: Roger.

//The radio call ends//

Season: We'll have to head to the Harbor immediately. Our vehicle is docked there.

Armon: We can fly with my wind powers. Let's head there.
