Rowan chose to pick his next words carefully,
“So you are implying that my actions, whatever they may be, led to the Minerva Ancestor return, and it is the reason the two Major Families are hunting me so that means the entire Empire is hunting me because I’m a so-called Breaker?”
Fury stood behind him and Rowan did not turn to look at him, at their level they had virtually omnipresence around themselves and this was a psychological tactic employed by Fury to check his nerves, Rowan could hear the smile in his voice as he was speaking, .
“Yet is your bounty not enough proof? There was a leak somewhere about your status as a rogue Breaker of the Kuranes, someone like you under no direct supervision is dangerous and also an asset to any family because a Breaker can be a source of fortune to a family, but in the right hands or the wrong hands, it can be a source of misfortune.”
Rowan’s tone became solemn, “The whole purpose of the bounty was to capture me, so I can be used against my family by the others, while the Kuranes family wants to capture me, so I can’t be used against them.”
Fury shrugged, “The time for the next selection for the ruling Family of Trion is to be held ten years from now, and a Breaker like you can be the best thing that happens to my family, or it could be the worst thing if anyone else captures you, although luckily for us, only the Tiberius Family knows your status as a Breaker, but that will not last for long, after all the Minerva Family Ancestor is awakening and with him present, there are no more secrets”
“So you are here to bring me back to the family.”
“Your actions on this tiny planet are worthy of a Breaker, but I think you don’t even know your true purpose, and I will show you.”
“Recall that I told you it should be impossible for someone of our bloodline to strike me because I’m the culmination of all the variant factor of our bloodline, but since you are able to strike me, it means you are no longer of our bloodline and the title of Breaker of the Kuranes Family can no longer be attributed to you.”
“That is an arrogant statement, isn’t it? Just because I could hit you makes you think I am no longer of Kuranes blood, my conclusion to this matter is that you are weaker than you think!”
Fury smiled, “I am not wrong, but I am not here to argue semantics with you, or to fight you really. When I knew what you were, I came here with another purpose. I am here to make a deal with you.”
?
“Well, this is not going the way I wanted. This little pup wants to swallow the sky with a single gulp.” The Third Prince frowned, which transformed to laughter a short while later, “Well, well, well, this is also entertaining by itself. I’m getting interested in this new oath that might follow. What do you think? Let’s keep watching bird.”
The magma bird by his made a heavy sound like the earth moving and settled down to watch, and as the Third prince scratched her head, her eyes closed to a slit as she evidently enjoyed the gestures.
A mystical rune that had been encircling the planet returned to the Third Prince, and at first, he wanted to put it away without looking at it, but he stopped, “eh, that can’t be right, how can there be nothing?”
With a single swipe of his hands, he disassembled the rune, and it scattered into trillions of tiny pieces of glowing light, and he scrutinized every single piece of it, from their shape and arrangement to the composition of each rune pieces until he was sure they were all perfect, and he cast it once more, “Again!”
This time his face was set in concentration and the rune went past the planet faster and swept through the Divine Kingdom and the planet below, and when it returned to him, the results were still unsatisfactory. Yet, the Third Prince was so concentrated on the effects of his runes, he failed to realized that Rowan’s eyes shifted just a little bit when the rune swept past him, even Fury had no idea what just happened.
“Don’t tell me the ability of this child includes the total destruction of a soul, then why is nothing left? This was a failed Aura Field, I should have gathered millions of souls at the least! If he can destroy souls, this makes him more of a liability than a boon to me. That sort of power is only available to the Celestial Supreme World. Is that the source of his bloodline?”
The Third Prince’s eyes turned to the form of Suriel who had been valiantly shielding the people of the convoy from the destruction from the god-like battle and his suspicions were mostly confirmed. “So, he is a celestial, that is sooo boring. Yet, how come he has those Empyrean Beasts as well? Celestial Bloodlines are inviolable. Did the Primordial Record cause a mutation?”
He began fidgeting and muttering to himself as he drew various runes in the air and made calculations, “No, I require additional information, and this tactic by Fury would not serve me well, I can’t let him get stronger and open more of his perception to the universe.”
The Third Prince turned to the site of Erohim death, and snapped his fingers, producing a spark, he shot that spark towards the Demonic creature covering the Anima of Boreas. It let out a shrill scream and collapsed into ashes.
The Anima of the god was now free from outside influence, and as the air of destruction around the world reached the statue, a gaze that was incredibly distant was roused.
Opening his last bottle of Hell Brew, the Third Prince made himself comfortable, “Show me more of yourself, dear boy. I cannot wait, and don’t die because I don’t know if I can perfectly reproduce the exact circumstances of your making in the next million years and that would be a bummer!”
