ONLINE: Blades of Eternity - Chapter 33

Chapter 33: TOTAL ANNIHILATION

“What in the world would this kid be doing at the outskirts of the city?” General Cao muttered worriedly while he flew across the forest at the southern end of the Eldara.

While he was meditating in his quarters back in the Pace Setter Academy, his token orb inwhich he uses to check the well being of those he gave tokens to in the past suddenly acted up as a red dot suddenly appear on the orb.

As soon as General Cao saw this red dot, he immediately forget about meditation and flew out of the academy as fast as he could.

“Huh? Seems like someone is already here before me” General Cao suddenly said when he saw a middle aged man holding Kaelen who is now unconscious in his arms.

“Seems like you have a death wish!!” Back on the ground, The middle aged man who apparently is a Chimera in disguise spoke up in a furious tone as it suddenly transformed into his new form. But the middle aged man who is apparently named Kang still remained calm as he gently placed Kaelen on the floor.

And without saying a word, Kang raised his hand, and a massive sword materialized from thin air, it’s blade shimmering with a silver light. The Chimera, sensing the new threat, let out a deafening roar, the ground trembling beneath it’s feet. It lunged forward, all three heads snapping and gnashing In a frenzy, it’s massive claws tearing at the earth

But Kang was unfazed. In a blur of movement, he dashed forward with incredible speed, closing the distance between him and the Chimera in an instant. The beast barely had any time to react before Kang unleashed a devastating slash, his sword cutting through the air with a blinding flash of light.

The blade met the Chimera’s hide, and in that moment, time seemed to stand still. The force of the strike was so immense that it cleaved through the Chimera’s thick scales and sinew, splitting the creature in two.

A shockwave of energy erupted from the point of impact, sending debris and dust flying in all directions. The Chimera’s roars were cut short, replaced by an eerie silence as it’s massive body began to disintegrate into ash, the dark magic sustaining it obliterated by the Kang’s strike

The entire confrontation had lasted mere seconds. Kang stood tall, his sword dissipating into the air as if it had never existed. His expression remained cold and unyielding, showing no signs of exertion or emotion. He turned to face Ethan and Morris, who were staring in complete awe.

‘He will never fail to surprise me’ Morris thought with a face full of awe.

“Ethan” Kang suddenly spoke up with an expressionless look on his face. When Ethan heard his name, he quickly lowered his head and answered in a low voice.

“Yes…. Dad?”

“Take Morris back to the house and report yourself there” Kang quickly gave Ethan a command before he turned to face Kaelen.

“I will take this boy back to the academy and hand him over to the authorities there. They really should be paying attention to their students for heaven’s sake” Kang continued with an annoyed look now on his face.

“Oh you don’t have to worry about him Kang, I will take it over from here” Right at that moment, General Cao suddenly spoke up as he landed right next to Kang.

“General Cao? What exactly brought you here? Are you on a mission?” Kang quickly asked with a surprised look now on his face.

“Oh no. My token seeking orb signalled me that this kid is in danger so I hurried myself over here. But now it seems like my presence wasn’t that necessary since you have already taken everything under control” General Cao replied with a light smile on his face. But Kang became more surprised at what General Cao said as he quickly asked.

“Wait, so you are telling me you gave him a token?”

“Well yeah, he refused to be my disciple so I had to do anyway I could to help him” General Cao said with a wry smile on his face. At this moment, Kang instantly became dumbfounded at General Cao’s words.

‘Interesting’ But in the end, Kang thought as he looked at Kaelen In a new light before he said.

“Well good luck training this kid, I will now take these two back to our family”

“Of cause, safe journey” General Cao said as he saw Kang flew off with Morris and Ethan with him. After that, General Cao put his attention on Kaelen and said in a light smile.

“Now let’s go back to the place you belong”

…..

“Urgh….” Kaelen muttered weakly as he slowly began to regain his conciousness. After a few more minutes went by, Kaelen could finally see where he is in right now.

Right now, The room Kaelen finds himself in is designed to evoke the sensation of being in the clouds was a marvel of architecture and design. Going through the entrance of the room, the first impression was a soft, ethereal glow that suffused the space, casting everything in a gentle, white light.

The walls were curved and seamlessly blended into the ceiling, creating an enveloping, cocoon-like atmosphere that enhanced the illusion of floating high above the world.The ceiling itself was a masterpiece—a high dome painted in varying shades of blue and white, mimicking a serene, cloudy sky.

Soft, wispy clouds were depicted with remarkable realism, their edges blending into the blue in a way that made it seem as if they were slowly drifting by. Tiny, hidden lights were strategically placed to create the effect of sunlight filtering through, casting dappled, warm rays that moved subtly, mimicking the movement of real clouds and the shifting light of the sun.

The floor was an unexpected delight; it was made of a special material that was both soft and slightly yielding, like stepping on a plush carpet. The texture was reminiscent of the finest silk, cool and smooth to the touch. It was a pale, creamy white, matching the overall color scheme and adding to the sensation of walking on clouds. The surface had a subtle, shimmering quality, reflecting light in a way that created an almost mist-like effect around the feet of anyone walking on it.

Furniture in the room was minimalistic and elegant, designed to complement the airy, serene atmosphere. Soft, cloud-shaped couches and chairs were upholstered in the finest white fabrics, their contours smooth and inviting. A few pieces of light, translucent furniture, such as glass tables and delicate lamps, added to the ethereal feel without disrupting the aesthetic. The furniture was arranged in a way that maximized the sense of space, allowing for unobstructed views of the cloud-like ceiling.

“Where am I?” Kaelen muttered in confusion as he slowly got off the bed. Right at that moment, the entrance to the room suddenly opened up as a young girl suddenly walked in with a tray which held a bowl of water and a white towel at the side.

The girl was petite and undeniably cute, with a presence that seemed to radiate warmth and energy. Her fiery red hair was the most striking feature, cascading down in soft, loose waves that shimmered like molten copper in the light. The color was vibrant and rich, a deep shade of red that was both eye-catching and beautiful, complementing her fair skin perfectly.

Her face was heart-shaped, with soft, delicate features that added to her overall cuteness. She had a small, pert nose and full, rosy lips that seemed always on the verge of a smile. Her eyes were large and expressive, a striking shade of emerald green that sparkled with intelligence and a hint of mischief. They were framed by long, dark lashes that accentuated her wide-eyed, innocent look.

Her petite frame was slender and graceful, giving her a light, almost ethereal quality. She carried herself with an easy confidence, her movements quick and nimble, like a flicker of flame. She had a natural charm and warmth that drew people to her, making her seem approachable and friendly.

Her attire often reflected her fiery personality; she favored bright, cheerful colors that matched her hair and eyes. She had a penchant for cute, stylish clothes that accentuated her petite figure, often accessorized with playful details like ribbons or jewelry that added a touch of whimsy to her look.

Overall, the girl was a captivating blend of fiery beauty and endearing cuteness, her vibrant hair and sparkling eyes making her a memorable and enchanting presence.

“Ahh!!!” But all the elegance that was on her seems to have been removed from Kaelen’s eyes when she suddenly yelled out in fright while involuntarily dropping the tray before she hurriedly left the room with her face completely beet red.

‘Huh? Whats wrong with her?’ Kaelen thought in a confused state as he went towards where the tray fell to pick it up. But as soon as he looked down to pick the tray up, he immediately discovered that he was stark naked.

‘Oh….’ Kealen eventually thought with a weird look now on his face
