《Even the heavens will shudder》Chapter 14: Merciless
Advertisement
Previously on ETHS, the study term finally began and Lucius with the help of the Immortal Gregory now learnt about his talent and elements, he also learnt that he was a four Elements master, he can control all primary elements, after that he entered the meditative state and with the instructions of The Demon god within his consciousness he became a rank one mage.
Within the manor in the Odein village, Garlan was furious, his eyes were red from anger, the door of the room he was at suddenly was opened and four people entered, two of them had their arms and their legs bound by chains .
“Milord we have captured them like you ordered “
“Good!”
Actually the two assassins that were sent to kill Lucius, upon learning about him being spotted in the city of Noria fled from fear that Garlan would kill them, but contrary to their thoughts Garlan already ordered many warriors to subdue them, it resulted in them being captured quickly.
“You to you dare to flee huh, you also dare to lie to me?”Said Garlan furiously.
“Milord we swear that we killed him we even checked his corpse at that time I was certain that he died “
“Shut up!!!!! Why didn’t you bring his corpse then you motherfuckers!!!! You are lying to me the great Garlan guards execute them immediately!!”
Garlan felt immeasurable rage, he thought of easily killing Lucius but he failed and the boy is still alive
“Milord please spare us we will find him and kill him this time for good “
“Shut up!!! Guards didn’t you hear me execute them!!!”
The other two guards didn’t dare delay and took out their swords, with a move they beheaded them.
“Alright clean this and go “
“Yes milord! “The two guards exclaimed.
Garlan didn’t know why he was so angry and even felt some fear , he didn’t understand the fear he felt , obviously it’s only a crippled kid what did he worry for .
“That’s right why I’m this bothered, guard immediately inform the soldiers in the city of Noria , tell them if they see the boy dispose of him but this time cleanly “
“Yes milord!”
Garlan didn’t know that another person was hiding in the dark, it was the uncle of Lucius Alderman.
(How come then he didn’t go to that old man!! Lucius were are what are you doing in Noria) Alderman thought
Garlan can sense the presence of others but he was too angered to notice Alderman.
Alderman was confused he now understood why that old blacksmith didn’t send a letter.
Alderman informed the old man of Lucius arrival, and said to him that if he arrived at his house, the old man needs to send a letter, but that letter never come, alderman thought that this Old geezer forgot, but it was actually a dangerous situation like this.
(I need to quickly fine Lucius or they will kill him, I can’t face his parents if he died)Thought Alderman.
Meanwhile, Lucius was looking if there was a good seat, he then spotted Eleonora , she was waving at him and making a sign that he should sit beside her .
Lucius smiled and leisurely walked in her direction, seeing his smile many girls were staring at him blushing, they thought that he was quite handsome and coupled with his long beautiful red hair he was different than other boys.
Eleonora seeing the girl’s reaction became angry, but she was not the only one, all the boys were staring at him with anger in their eyes, he ignored them like always and sat beside Eleonora, the dark skinned youth took a liking to her, he was named Urian , actually many boys were captivated by Eleonora beauty .

“Silence! Now we begin the lesson “yelled Sylvan
Sylvan is an arch mage of the 2nd rank and the instructor on earth magic, he had thread eyes and brown short hair, he was tall but thin, but his voice carried power, instantly everyone became silent.
“Today I will explain earth magic, its properties and use, at the end of the lesson I will test if you have the ability to summon earth element “Sylvan explained what kind will be the course of today.
Sylvan eyes gazed slightly in Lucius way then he regained his usual, he was intrigued by him, why did Raymond intervene that time.
Then the lesson began , one and half an hour passed , this the end of the lesson and like he said Sylvan was going to test the students ability to summon earth Element , the lesson consisted of Explaining Earth theories and the history of the powerful earth mages .
One by one, the students walked toward Sylvan to demonstrate summoning earth element, it was now the turn of Urian the dark skinned youth he summoned a rock the size of a finger.
“Not bad, next “said Sylvan
The dark skinned youth grinned and looked toward Eleonora, but she was chatting with Lucius happily, that sight angered him, he hated Lucius even more.
Now the turn of Eleonora came, she condensed her energy on top of her thin beautiful fingers and summoned three small rocks the size of a finger.
“Oh impressive, very talented indeed “Sylvan eyes lit up
Now it was the turn of Eleonora to grin and appeal to Lucius , but he simply had no reaction , she swore to hit a few times after they leave the classroom .
After Elonora finally came the turn of Lucius, he slowly walked in front of sylvan and began to extract energy and redirect it on top of his finger, but nothing appeared.
What was strange was the complicated expression of Sylvan.
“Crap did he catch on something “Lucius muttered.
Actually Sylvan analyzing the energy of Lucius really caught on something, he was stupefied by the pure quality of Lucius energy, Lucius didn’t know that he only analyzed green energy and he overlooked the black energy, it was understandable, the green energy had only two elements affinity with it, and one of them was earth element so he actually only used his human energy.
Sylvan remained silent and didn’t understand why Lucius didn’t summon the earth element, being an arch mage he obviously realized that Lucius had amazing talent , but why did he purposefully hide his ability , he didn’t prey too much .
“Next! “ Sylvan shouted
Urian then looking at Lucius disdainfully began to laugh.
“hahahaha friends did you see he didn’t summon anything , he is truly trash how can sir Sylvan teach him !”
The other students all fixed their eyes o Lucius , but like always Lucius was not the least bothered or angered , he simply ignored the existence known as Urian , he was nothing but air in his eyes in the contrary Eleonoara was staring at Urian with disgust , she may be arrogant but didn’t have the same attitude as him.
Students that finished the small test of Sylvan left the classroom then, Urian seeing Lucius crossing the door he smirked he remembered the words of Sylvan “everything outside is none of we instructors business “ he turned to look at his bullies friends and muttered.
“Hey we will follow him lets teach him a lesson for good “
“hahaha yeah he pisses me of “
Lucius was in the corridor when Leyak voice reached his mind.
“Brat some of those snot nosed kids are following you “

“I know “
Lucius knew in advance, he simply slowly walked, Urian and the others were behind him following, but Lucius turned right, and when they also turned right they were shocked, he disappeared, he was not there anymore.
“Shit where did he go that fucking trash “shouted Urian
Lucius with his amazing agility, how can they compare to him.
“Kid why don’t you fucking shred them to pieces”
“I can’t it’s too bothersome and if the instructors know that I killed them it will become too troublesome to stay here “
“Ah, how boring “lazily said Leyak
He was right, killing is prohibited inside the academy, if a student killed he will be severely punished and expelled, but violence was not, the academy regarded this as good to the students thinking that they will taught the severity of the world , that strength is the only thing that will be able to allow you to be recognized .
Lucius headed to the canteen and saw his two roommates sitting at a table and eating , when they saw him they smiled and waved at him , he felt his heart become warm at the sight , they truly were friends .
He happily sat beside them.
“Third brother how was the lesson, it was boring huh “
“It was not bad “Lucius politely said.
“hahah first brother , if you think like this then you will not graduate “
“Hey you did you make fun of me now “
“Me? How can I make fun of you first brother hahaha “
“You rascal hahaha”
Harvey and Roman found Lucius mysterious but they didn’t dislike this side of him, he was mysterious because he rarely talked, but they didn’t know that Lucius never had friends in his life, he was still feeling awkward.
After finishing eating the brothers headed to their room, Lucius decided to not go to fire lesson, and instead sit in the meditative state training, however his two roommates didn’t want to bother him so they left and decided to go to the park wooing some girls, and they were quite the playboys.
Meanwhile, Urian was searching like crazy for Lucius but he didn’t find him, with him were several other boys that attended the earth lesson this morning, they were currently searching the park.
“Hey brother Urian, those two sitting on that bench I saw them with that trash yesterday, he is obviously their friend “one of the boys a short blue haired kid said to Urian.
Urian grinned and on his faces an evil expression.
Lucius was cultivating, he actually reached the early first rank in two days, now the elements that he can summon are a bit bigger in size.
Suddenly he opened his eyes he sensed that someone collapsed I front of his door, he hastily opened and seeing the sight he was stunned.
Harvey and Roman had their body full of injuries, their face was currently bloodied that Lucius didn’t recognize them at first.
“First brother, second brother what happened? “
Harvey fainted so Roman was the only one that can talk.
“thir…third brother some kids encircled us and b…beat us up to a pulp , one of them their l…leader was dark skinned he said that it’s a gift for you “
Lucius frowned he only thought of one person, the dark skinned youth that tried to provoke him this morning.
For the first time the dark skinned youth Urian succeeded in angering Lucius , Lucius body trembled slightly , his face darkened , his eyes narrowed , from his body emanated a baleful aura , he was enraged , how can he sit back when the only friends that he only knew for a short time were injured to this extent .
“Brothers don’t worry I will make them pay the price for injuring you “
“t …third brother, don’t go they are too many you can’t beat them “ Roman tried to calm Lucius
But Lucius only smiled.
“Don’t worry they can’t do anything to me “
For some reason, Roman actually felt that he could totally believe him, Lucius like the wind rushed outside at full speed, he searched everywhere for Urian and his friends.
Suddenly he spotted them not too far, they were in front of the training hall, there was a training hall for students, and fortunately there was no one except them.
Lucius calmly walked toward them.
“Brother Urian looks at who came hahaha “the same short blue haired kid said.
Urian was surrounded by seven other boys they were all the kids that laughed at Lucius this morning, Urian then Looked at Lucius with contempt and smiled.
“You finally came huh, I will teach you how to behave before me like your little friends did , they were so pitiful hahahahaah , hey trash him for good “ Urian looking at the others with him ordered .
“Brat did you decide to finally cut them to pieced “
“Like I said I can’t but I will make them wish that they died “with a sinister smile said Lucius.
Lucius didn’t take his black sword with him, with small fries like this he didn’t need it, the seven boys rushed toward him with their arms and legs, but Lucius didn’t budge he only stared calmly at them , the first of the seven boys reached Lucius and lunched a punch at his face , Lucius with the least of movement dodged to the side , he clenched his fist and hit him in the abdomen , what happened shocked the others , the boy who attacked Lucius was sent flying several meters and crashed on a wall , he never stood up with the punch of Lucius all his ribs were broken , Lucius sizing the momentum , shot like lightening toward one of the six boy left , he was the nearest , he shot his leg like a whip landing on the youth wrist , he also was sent flying with his arm instantly broken , the five others were stunned .
“What is this kid “the others were frightened and Urian was staring slack jawed
They were terrified by the strength of Lucius and began to retreat.
“You want to flee dream on “
With his crazy speed, he was like a shadow and kicked one of the boys in his stomach sending him crashing on a nearby wall, the appeared in front of another one slapping him in the face , the power of the slap actually made him lose consciousness , there were only three left now ,
Urian quietly watched the slaughter without the ability to move, he was too terrified, after quickly beating the three other boys, he slowly walked toward Urian .
“hu hu ahhhh!!!! Don’t come near me monster!!!”
“Why are you frightened, I’m only trash, I’m I not?”
Lucius stopped in front of the terrified Urian and slowly spoke.
“trust me today I will break your fingers then your arms followed by your legs , your ribs , every bone In your body I Lucius I will break “
Too merciless! Lucius was too merciless!
He changed too much in this short time.
Urian began to actually cry he wanted to flee but he stumbled and fell on the ground, Lucius evilly smirked.
“KU Ku ku! … kid I find you more and more interesting!! “ Leyak was rejoicing .
End of chapter.

8 150Scholar of the Fog
Leaving a trail of blood as he climbed up a hill, his limbs felt like lead. He was gasping too, his lungs burning with every step he took. It felt like a bundle of broken glass was scraping away the inner walls of his flesh. He was dying, obvious to both him and his pursuers. And it would not be long till he dropped dead as he bled away. If not, the people chasing him would surely finished what they had came for. It was as if the Gods themselves had already predestined his fate. He took one step forward and stood at the peak of the hill. He let his legs rest as he could barely go on. Heaving deep breaths, he could hear sneering voices and shouts behind him. They were close, and the grim realization stoked the embers of his most primal fear. He did not want to die. He had dreams, like any other youth. There was glory to be had in this world. He wanted to learn more of life, and lived through its motions. He wanted to live. He swept his gaze, and across him was a spanning forest of old. With a glint in his eyes, and jaws clenched, he decided to gamble with all he had. He was dying, and by now, it did not matter where his grave was. He ran down the hill, and stopped where the plains and the forest met. His eyes swept about the trees, and he could feel an instinctual urge to drag himself away. He knew what this forest was, and here, he would find his salvation. Or his doom. The voices behind him grew closer, and among the noise was the faint clanging of steel. Gritting his teeth, he ousted all the will he had from the depths of his soul and stepped forth into the forest. Damned he be by the Gods if they wanted him dead. -new synopsis 10/6/2016 ---------- A new chapter would be released every friday. And the quality of writing should improve each time, hopefully. Another important thing to mention is how the story as of now, is only a bedrock for a massive world if it ever gets there. (CH18) And if possible, reviews are very much appreciated. ---------- For the ones who are interested in the old synopsis: With one foot in the grave, he ran away for that little bit of hope. Exhausted and bleeding, it was only a matter of time until he passed out. By then, his fate would be sealed and he would be no more. Thus, he had to make a decision that might just save his life. It was a gamble, he knew, but he had no He ran into the forbidden forest where no man had ever come back. He headed within, intending to scare his pursuers away. But they persisted in their chase, hounding him down until he was forced to take a step of no return. There, in the darkest depths of the forest, was the ghastly fog and behind him where men who wanted his head. Left with nothing else, he stepped forth and crossed the boundary of the living and the dead. Henceforth, his fate was forever changed. No longer just a scholar, but something more…
