ONLINE: Blades of Eternity - Chapter 53

Chapter 53: A SHOCKING TWIST

“Cough! Cough!” Carolina uttered as she tries to get hereself off the floor. As for Kelvin, he gently began to walk towards Carolina with a calm look on his face.

“Sh*t! I never knew he will be this strong!” Morris said with a shocked look on his face. Not only him, but the others seated in the coliseum were having similar expressions on their faces. It was only Kaelen who had a deep frown on his face as he thought solemnly

‘Seems like this won’t be as easy as I thought’

“Now that I have won, you have to answer three questions from me” Kelvin suddenly spoke up right after he stood in front of Carolina.

“And what exactly do you want to ask me? How your sister died!? Am sorry but I have no clue!!” Carolina suddenly exclaimed with a furious look on her face. But Kelvin still remained calm as he went even closer towards Carolina.

“Oh am not going to ask you that, I already know that much about you” Kelvin calmly replied as he crouched down to look Carolina right on her face. And right after, he asked her in a deep tone.

“What I want to ask you is why you led my sister go her death?”

‘This isn’t going to end well’ Kaelen suddenly thought with a grave look on his face. But the others were a different expression on their faces as they began to whisper amongst themselves.

“What are you saying!? I didn’t lead anyone to their deaths!” Carolina quickly rebuked with a fidgeting expression on her face. But Kelvin was still keeping his calm as he said.

“That is the first question, the second is what drove you to do that to my sister? As for the third, well it’s quite a simple one, is just have you ever heard of the orb of chaos?”

“Huh? What is that?” Carolina quickly asked with a confused expression on her face. But just then, Kelvin suddenly have a small smirk on his face as he replied.

“You will find out pretty quickly if you don’t answer my two previous questions”

“I have already told you, I haven’t lead anyone to their deaths and nothing drove me to do so. So you need to drop all these and try and have a good life” Carolina replied with a cold and frustrated look on his face.

But just then, Kelvin suddenly had a sadistic grin on his face while a bone chilling aura began to emanate out of his body as he said in a calm manner.

“Well it seems like I have no choice but to show how this orb of chaos looks like”

‘Sh*t! I need to stop him!’ Kaelen quickly thought as he hurriedly stood up from his seat. But it was already too late.

Slowly, Kelvin reached up and placed his hand over his chest, where a faint, dark glow began to emanate.Carolina’s eyes widened in confusion and then terror as Kelvin’s chest pulsed with a deep, malevolent energy.

“This,” he said, his voice cold and emotionless, “is the orb of chaos” He pulled back his shirt slightly, revealing the orb of chaos embedded in his chest. It was a swirling mass of black and crimson energy, like a dark star, pulsating with an ominous rhythm.

The orb seemed to have a life of its own, twisting and churning, its very presence exuding an aura of pure malevolence.Carolina gasped, struggling to back away, but her legs wouldn’t obey her. She could feel the orb’s power, its darkness creeping into her mind, instilling a deep sense of dread.

The audience, too, felt the change in the air, murmurs spreading through the stands as they realized the true extent of Kelvin’s power.Kelvin’s lips curled into a cold smile as he watched the fear grow in Carolina’s eyes.

“You should be honored,” he said quietly, almost to himself. “Not many get to see the true power that lies within me.”Then, before anyone could react, the orb flared up, its dark energy spilling out in a wave that swept across the stage.

“Argh!!!”

Carolina screamed as the energy wrapped around her, pulling her towards the orb with an irresistible force. She clawed at the ground, trying to resist, but it was no use. The orb’s pull was too strong.

“No! Stop!” Carolina cried out, panic setting in as her body was dragged across the stage. Her scepter, now powerless, clattered to the ground beside her as she was lifted off her feet. The orb’s energy wrapped around her like tendrils of darkness, tightening its grip with every passing second.

“What the f**k!!?”

“What in the world is that!!?”

“That thing came out of Kelvin!!”

“Sh*t!! That thing is going to swallow that senior whole!!”

“That sort of evil is this?”

The audience erupted in chaos, students and faculty alike standing in shock and horror. Some shouted for Kelvin to stop, others for someone to intervene, but no one dared to move.

The power emanating from the orb was too terrifying, too overwhelming.Kelvin watched impassively as Carolina was lifted off the stage, suspended in mid-air by the orb’s dark energy. Her struggles grew weaker as the orb began to engulf her, the darkness spreading over her body like a shroud.

“I-I will tell you what I know, I was paid to do so!!” She suddenly exclaimed with a desperate look on her face.

“Thanks for the information, but don’t you think it’s a little bit too late for you to tell me?” Kelvin calmly replied as he watched the struggles Carolina was having with the orb of the chaos.

‘No…’

Carolina thought as her screams became muffled as the orb consumed her, swallowing her whole in a matter of moments. And then, just as suddenly as it had begun, it was over. The orb receded back into Kelvin’s chest, its glow fading until only a faint, ominous light remained.

The area out of the stage was empty, save for Kelvin standing alone, his expression unreadable. Carolina was gone, vanished without a trace.The coliseum was deathly silent, the shock of what had just happened rendering the audience speechless. Kelvin turned and looked out at the crowd, his eyes scanning the faces filled with fear and disbelief. He said nothing, letting the silence speak for itself.

“You… Killed a fellow student in the school grounds?” Just then, Sylvester muttered with a blank look on his face. But as soon as Kelvin heard him, he calmly replied as he turned to face Sylvester.

“Anyone who was related to sister’s death does not have the right to live”

But as soon as Sylvester heard him, his expression quickly became incomparably furious as he yelled.

“You will pay dearly for breaking the number one rule in the academy. Get him!!”

‘Now is my chance’ Kaelen thought as he suddenly leaped off the seat he was on. Shocked by his unexpected action, Morris yelled with a dumbfounded look on his face.

“Where are you going Kaelen!!?”

But it was all in vain as Kaelen didn’t hear him at all.

“Kelvin, you’ve gone too far!” Kaelen shouted, his voice laced with a mix of anger and desperation. He closed the distance between them in an instant, his sword gleaming with energy as he aimed a powerful strike at Kelvin. The crowd held their breath, watching as Kaelen’s blade descended with the force of a raging storm.

Bang!!

But Kelvin didn’t even flinch. With a casual wave of his hand, a barrier of dark energy materialized around him, deflecting Kaelen’s strike effortlessly. The impact sent shockwaves through the arena, but Kelvin remained unmoved, his cold eyes locking onto Kaelen’s with a disdainful smirk.

Before Kaelen could recover, Sylvester, one of the top students and a skilled mage, joined the fray. His hands crackled with arcane power as he unleashed a barrage of lightning bolts at Kelvin, each one aimed with deadly precision. The bolts tore through the air, leaving trails of electricity in their wake.

Kelvin simply raised his hand, and the bolts dissipated against another dark barrier, their energy absorbed by the orb within him. Sylvester’s eyes widened in shock, but he quickly composed himself, preparing for another assault.

But it wasn’t just Kaelen and Sylvester who were moving. The school authorities, the lecturers of the Pace Setter Academy, had seen enough. Professors and high-ranking officials leapt from their seats, each one a master in their own right.

“Hey!! That’s General Cao!!”

“Oh my God!! He must have percieved what went on here and quickly came”

“Yes, now that demonic Kelvin can be captured”

Suddenly, their was a clamor amongst the students as soon as they saw General Cao up on the air.

General Cao, the fierce and battle-hardened pillar of the academy, was at the forefront, his aura radiating with power as he charged at Kelvin.

“Stop this madness, Kelvin!” General Cao bellowed, his voice echoing through the coliseum as he unleashed a devastating blow with his warhammer, aiming to shatter Kelvin’s defenses once and for all.

Badump!!!

Bang!!!!!

Kelvin’s eyes flickered with a strange light as he glanced at the approaching threat. With a flick of his wrist, the orb of chaos pulsed, releasing a wave of dark energy that expanded outward like a shockwave. The force was immense, a manifestation of the orb’s malevolent power.

The wave collided with General Cao’s attack, the impact shaking the very foundations of the coliseum. Kaelen, Sylvester, and the other authorities were caught in the blast, their attacks scattered and nullified by the sheer force of Kelvin’s power. Kaelen was flung backward, landing heavily on the ground, while Sylvester staggered, barely able to maintain his footing.

General Cao, too, was forced to retreat, his warhammer deflected as he skidded back several paces. The crowd gasped in horror, realizing that even the academy’s strongest were struggling against Kelvin’s newfound power.

Kelvin stood at the center of the stage, unscathed, his expression twisted with dark satisfaction. “You can’t stop me,” he said, his voice resonating with a chilling certainty. “None of you can.”

With that, the orb flared brightly, its chaotic energy swirling around Kelvin as he began to fade from view. The darkness seemed to swallow him whole, his form becoming less and less distinct as the shadows engulfed him.

“Kelvin!” Kaelen shouted, struggling to his feet as he tried to rush forward. But it was too late. With a final, mocking smile, Kelvin vanished completely, the darkness consuming him entirely.

The coliseum was left in stunned silence, the echoes of the battle still reverberating through the air. Kaelen fell to his knees, his mind racing with the implications of what had just happened. Sylvester and General Cao exchanged grim looks, knowing that they had just witnessed the beginning of something far more dangerous than any of them had anticipated.

The orb of chaos had unleashed its full power—and Kelvin was now beyond their reach.
