Chapter 31- Hidden Agenda

The sound of a carriage being pulled by a horse could be heard as its hooves repeatedly tap into the floor in a rhythm.

A man dressed in dark heavy cloak could be seen at driving the carriage. The carriage then stop just outside an ancient temple. The temple was hidden by a powerful concealing spell.

“Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, Nor are the eyes of man ever satisfied!” uttered the man. The concealing spell then begins to unravel and turned into a vortex that suck the man and the carriage with him.

“Oh! Judas you’re back already.” Said an old ancient looking man. His eyes were shape like a hawk and his nose shape like an eagle’s beak.

“I’m sorry Master. Something unexpected happened and the plan was nearly ruined by a brat.” Spat Judas. He takes off the cowl that was covering his face only to reveal the familiar face of Brooks Latner. The headmaster of Cloud Academy.

“What happened!? Did someone find out you’re real identity.” said the ancient old man in a displeased tone.

“No master!” said Judas quickly. His appearance has now change into a bald man, His face covered eczema. A medical condition in which patches of skin become rough and inflamed with blisters which cause itching and bleeding.

“They haven’t found out that Brooks Latner is dead. I’ve been doing a good job impersonating him. The only problem that a brat called Vectre Azure, interrupted my plans. He has humiliated and undermined my authority. With my reputation damage, The Enforcers that I have cultivated might disband and leave the Academy. So I had to act quickly or else the vessels might get away.” Chuckled Judas darkly.

The ancient old man merely nodded. This was a setback but only a minor one. The others already infiltrated the other academies, killed the current headmaster and assume its current identity.

“Four years has pass since the mission has started. That should be enough time for them to scout strong vessels for Lord Abaddon’s army.” Muttered the ancient looking man.

“How many vessels have you acquired?” ask the ancient old man.

Judas face then transform into a scowl. “Only three. I could not find the other two. Euphie and Elbia.” Sad Judas in anger.

‘Useless!’ the ancient Oldman thought.

“It’s time to call back the others. The spell that the God’s have use many million of years ago is now weakening. Abaddon’s army has been waiting patiently, waiting for a vessel so they could walk once more upon this world and bring in havoc and destruction in Lord Abaddon’s name.” said the ancient old man excitedly. A las he been waiting for this for a long time. The rising of the red moon will further weaken the spell holding the Evil God Abaddon in his prison.

“Soon! This world shall be yours. Our stronghold will be Cloud Kingdom.” Muttered the ancient old man darkly.

“Master!” said Judas suddenly.

“What is it?” the ancient old man snap.

“What are we going to do about Vectre Azure? He’s a genius and a perfect vessel. He defeated five of my Enforcers without breaking a sweat! He is also the son of the Crimson Witch. He is the Crimson Witch’s weakness. As long as we have him, the Crimson Witch will gladly give up her body” smiled Judas evilly at his wicked plan.

“Hmm. Lord Abaddon needs a powerful body, and the strongest vessel in this whole Kingdom would be the Crimson Witch. I have been worrying about how to capture her but- Vectre Azure will help us achieve our goal.” Said the Ancient old man.

“Of course.” Chuckled Judas.

“Prepare the twenty A rank fighter to begin the capture of Vectre Azure. This must be done as soon as possible.” Ordered the ancient old man.

When Judas heard that twenty A rank would be dispatch to capture a twelve year old child. He was startled. This was over kill.

‘You’re going to regret humiliating me Vectre!’ laugh Judas with glee.

“Why are we doing this again? I’m sure you have enough points. You were even bragging about how rich you are.” Said Vectre while yawning. He couldn’t sleep last night. The thought of Mia invading in his room again kept him from sleeping. His whole mind was filled with weird scenarios of Mia barging in his room and doing inexplicable things to him. This both filled with him with dread and delight.

“Because! I want to get stronger. In order to do that I need to practice the skill book that I acquired.” Said Dean.

“And you need me here because?” ask Vectre while tilting his head.

“Just in case that I need you to save my ass!” laugh Dean.

“But it’s so early in the morning.” Yawn Vectre once again. “Oh that reminds me. What skill book did you get?”

“Hmm. Nothing special. Just couple of skill book called light armour and light enhancement. Light armour will increase my defence while healing my body at the same time while light enhancement will increase my damage.” Answer Dean.

“But why are we doing a B rank mission?” ask Vectre.

“I always wanted to know how strong B rank monsters are. Besides I have you with me so I’m not really worried.” Laugh Dean in a carefree manner.

“One day you’re going to get yourself killed and that worries me.” said Vectre in concern. Manifesting a translucent pill, he handed it to Dean.

“What’s this?” ask Dean. Holding the translucent pill with his index finger and thumb and observing it with squinted eyes.

“Ever heard of Wolverine?” smirk Vectre?

“Wolvering? Who’s that?” ask Dean in confusion.

“That’s going to be you?” laugh Vectre excitedly. He summoned a pill that contains Wolverine healing powers. This way Dean would not die easily and can live a good a carefree life.

“What does it do?” ask Dean while narrowing curiosly at the pill.

“It will just give you a slight boost in your healing capabilities.” Vectre said lightly. Laughing at his friend. ‘I want to see the look on his face when he finds himself able to regenerate whole limbs in less than a minute.’

The light element class might have the capabilities to heal but they are severely limited. Regenerating an arm will take them many years of using their abilities.
