Prime Originator Chapter 445 - Intense Killing Intent

Chapter 445 - Intense Killing Intent

Back in the Capital, Aria was a bit absentminded shortly after Leon left while she was still in the Inner Palace grounds with Elizabeth, Heinrich, and Darlene.
Elizabeth noticed and said with a smile, "Aria, you don't need to stay here with us. If you want to chase after Leon, go for it."
"But Leon asked me to look after…" Aria said hesitantly while looking at Darlene.
"It's fine. Leave Darlene with us and go." Elizabeth smiled and helplessly said, "Someone needs to keep him in check. Otherwise, he will force all the maids and guards out of the palace for his wives and children one day."
Darlene's face immediately reddened. She lowered her head in shame.
However, Elizabeth walked over and comforted her, "Don't worry. I am not blaming you. It is just that my son is... He is… Well, sigh. Never mind. You'll see."
"Then… I'll be off?" Aria asked hesitantly in confirmation.
"Go."
Elizabeth and Heinrich nodded.
"Thank you, mother, father."
Once Aria received the Queen and King's confirmation, she turned her sight in the western direction.
Cold lightning began seeping out of her body slowly, contrary to ordinary lightning that would dance and sparkle everywhere—no, the ice-lightning was more tamed.
Even so, after the white ice-lightning cloaked Aria's body, her aura immediately surged wildly as the ice-lightning behave erratically and actively.
Boom!
Aria disappeared into the distance in a single instance like a zap of lightning! The power of ice-lightning allowed her to travel and incredible speed, breaking the sound barrier!
She left behind a trail of remnant static electricity that sparkled in the chilled air.
"Incredible…"
Darlene was awed.
She had never seen someone move so quickly. Even Chief Valencia was incapable of moving this fast… Were all her hubby's women this capable? If so, her abilities were nothing in comparison.
Darlene silently compared herself to Aria and felt despondent.
She was not the only one surprised by Aria's speed. Elizabeth and Heinrich were equally astounded. It was also their first-time seeing Aria's move at lightning speed after achieving Transcendence.
Lightning Transcendents—No, Ice-Lightning Transcendents appeared to be extremely powerful! Elizabeth began to ponder whether the idea of single-element mastery was too rigid.
How did Aria achieve the fusion of the Ice and Lightning to become an Ice-Lightning Transcendent? The power of elemental fusion was nothing to scoff at.
'Perhaps, I should consider fusing the metal and fire elements to achieve something greater.' Elizabeth silently mused.
However, it was only a passing thought. She shortly pushed it behind her before smiling warmly at Darlene.
"Come, tell me more about yourself and everything that has happened on the other side. How did you meet my son?" Elizabeth tugged at Darlene, wanting to pull her over to the stone table and seats in the short distance.
However, Heinrich paused her.
"Perhaps, we should consider washing up first." He suggested.
Elizabeth glanced at their dirty faces and soiled clothes and chuckled lightly, agreeing with Heinrich's suggestion, "True, we should wash up first."
"Darlene, was it? Let us chat later, alright?" Elizabeth said.
Darlene nodded obediently, thinking she was not in any position to refuse. She wanted to leave a good impression on Leon's parents.
"Men!" Elizabeth summoned.
"Yes, Your Majesty?"
A few palace guards quickly stepped forward, awaiting her orders.
"Escort Darlene to the prince's courtyard and get some maids to help arrange for her accommodations there," Elizabeth ordered.
"Right away, Your Majesty!"
"Miss Darlene, this way, please." The palace guard politely gestured.
After Darlene left with the palace guards, Heinrich walked over and said, "My wife, hehe, you know it's been quite a long time since we were intimate…"
"What about it, Heinrich?"
Elizabeth looked back at her husband strangely, finding his body gestures to be rather odd and suspicious.
Heinrich glanced around before pulling himself closer to Elizabeth's ear and whispered, "How about we go wash together—Aiyo~!"
Heinrich exclaimed after Elizabeth pinched his waist.
"Don't even think about it."
"Haiz… wifey, I am still a man in my prime. Men need to do these kinds of things often to relieve their stress. If you are unwilling, I might end up finding mistress to do it with."
"You dare?!" Elizabeth immediately glared.
Heinrich choked on his words and awkwardly coughed, "Ahem, I was only joking. Of course, I only have you in my eyes."
"Hmph! That better be the case!"
Elizabeth stormed off.
Heinrich was in between tears and laughter as he looked towards the west and sighed, 'Haiz… my son, do you know how much your father envies you?'
…
While the battle between the rats and wolves raged outside the Great Walls, Leon continued to confront the two foreign Transcendents in the skies.
The intensity of Leon's flames immediately made Elder Gustavo alarmed.
Although it was not at the Transcendental level, the flame will still reduce the young master's water element advantage.
"Be careful, Young Master Judas! This person is very dangerous!" Elder Gustavo warned vigilantly, uncertain of how much ability the Crawford Kingdom's crown prince was still hiding.
Unexpectedly, this person was a dual Awakener and Body Refiner!
"Hmph!"
Young Master Judas immediately snorted and said, "Instead of warning me, why don't you help me quickly dispose of this person?! Otherwise, I will report to my father that you simply watched while I was fighting for my life when we get back!"
"Why must you make things difficult for this old man? You know we cannot kill this person! Otherwise, it will invite disaster upon not only ourselves but also the Cortez household!"
"If we get rid of all the evidence, who will know—?!"
Young Master Judas' expression abruptly changed as Leon lunged at him, swiftly disposing of his Blackwater Lances.
The moment the Blackwater Lances contacted Leon's flaming bone spear, they ended in mutual destruction, exploding into water vapor! The fire was extinguished while blackwater was vaporized in an instant!
With a quick flick of his wrist, Leon's bone spear was cloaked in flame once more as he continued to close the distance between him and Young Master Judas.
Young Master Judas retreated higher into the sky suppression zone while tossing out Blackwater Lances consecutively to halt Leon's advances.
However, each Blackwater Lances continued to burst into water vapor upon contact with Leon's flaming bone spear!
"Elder Gustavo!" Young Master Judas cried out.
Swoosh!
Elder Gustavo immediately made a move the moment he sensed the young master was in grave danger. He conjured several Blackwater Lances of his own and shot them towards Leon's back.
Leon was forced to halt his advance to defend against the water projectiles.
Boom! Boom!
The Blackwater Lances exploded into water vapor continuously!
Leon's flaming bone spear was like an undying candlelight, refusing to be completely snuffed out. No matter how many times it gets extinguished, it will reignite brilliantly.
In truth, Leon was quickly depleting his energy reserves through this method.
He narrowed his eyes and wondered how the two Transcendents were able to fly in the sky suppression zone while he had to rely on Divine Will to block the gravitational force bearing down on him.
In a short instance, his eyes landed on the pendant blinking with red light and adorned by both foreign Transcendents.
'Is this the reason?'
Leon's pupil shrank.
His divine sense spread over, and he immediately noticed a faint red barrier covering their bodies. The pendant shortly became his target.
At the same time, Elder Gustavo reached Young Master Judas' side.
"You finally decided to help me. You should have helped from the start!" Judas Cortez said, feeling his heart thumped with a bit of fear.
He started to feel humiliated that someone else among the younger generation could make him feel like this. Staring at the person, his killing intent intensified.
"Hmph! We would not be in this mess if you had controlled your impulse and not strike the king!"
"How would I know if he was the king or not?"
Young Master Judas defended irresponsibly, unwilling to accept his mistake. He believed the fault lies in the other party for looking like some poor and dirty servant.
"So Young Master thinks it's fine to hit people if they weren't the king of a kingdom?" Elder Gustavo said gloomily while his eyes never left the enemy in front of them, vigilant of any sudden attacks.
"What's wrong with stepping on a few insects if they are insects?"
Young Master Judas's last words made Elder Gustavo sigh. He was utterly disappointed in his household's young master. This was a problem of excessive pampering since young.
"Never mind. Let us get rid of this person quickly and return to the kingdom before the Overseer discovers us."
"I was just waiting for those words! Don't you dare hold back, Elder Gustavo! The quicker we kill him, the better!" Judas Cortez said.
Elder Gustavo snorted and said, "This person is extraordinarily powerful, physically. Do not engage in close combat with him. We will pincer from the front and behind with our water lances, understood?"
"Yeah, yeah, I got it."
Elder Gustavo and Judas Cortez spoke in a low voice, but they did not know that everything had been overhead by Leon.
Leon suddenly smirked.
He retracted the flame from his bone spear and retreated, knowing that the two Transcendents were intent on killing him.
"He's running! He must have exhausted his power! This is our chance to kill him!" Judas Cortez shouted excitedly, taking Leon's bait, and immediately gave chase.
"You fool!" Elder Gustavo roared.
If the opponent gave up hunting down the young master, they should just take the chance to leave! Why was the young master hellbent on killing this person?!
Elder Gustavo felt helpless, but he still flew in pursuit right after the young master.
