Chapter 58- Chaos in the Meeting Hall

Both sides charged at each other but the dark knights were stopped by the paladins. As for the four Elementals, they were stopped by Azrael. As for Damien, he was stopped by Azazel who jumped from a shadow behind him. He tried to break free but Azazel locked his shadow which disabled his movement and teleportation.

Damien saw Azazel and felt betrayed by his own comrade. He growled at him but Azazel remained silent. He secretly tried to cancel the spell but Azazel easily noticed it and stabbed him in the shoulder. "Guuuhhh" Damien roared in pain but couldn't do anything because of his locked shadow.

Tori was about to pull her sword when Kazuki stopped her. She was about to ask Kazuki "why" when her sword suddenly disappeared.

She turned around and saw Kazuki behind her holding it. "It's sharp" he complimented the sword while touching it's blade.

Tori's legs trembled. She never met anyone as fast as her before but Kazuki was faster than her. She didn't even see him walk towards her.

"Are you sure about this master?" Yozuko asked through telepathy.

"It's better to make her fear us now to make sure that she won't be our enemy in the future" Kazuki replied.

In that 0.00001 millisecond, Yozuko's arm came out of Tori's shadow and pulled her sword from her waist and transferred to to Kazuki's hand. Shadow magic is used for teleportation and fighting but there are only few who could master it.

Kazuki returned Tori's sword and turned to Damien. "Looks like you're having a rough time" he mocked.

This made Damien lose his temper. He spawned 5 dark knights which attacked Azazel. He then broke free and while Azazel was dealing with his minions, he rushed to Kazuki and whispered "This isn't the end" before disappearing into the shadow.

After Damien left, Dread sighed and said "That was a relief".

"Now then, the Elementals will give our new comrade one elemental orb each" Ifrit reminded them.

(Note: Elemental orbs are like "blessings" of the Elementals. They can be used to summon familiars or enhance weapons with magical attributes.)

Each guardian gave Kazuki an orb. Even Agatha who is still a little hesitant, but what surprised him the most is that he found a black orb in his pocket. Ifrit sighed and Azrael smiled. "I see he still follows tradition" Azrael chuckled.

Though Damien hates Kazuki, he's someone who respects tradition so he gave him an orb.

Kazuki who was a little hesitant to use Damien's orb got approval from Azrael since he analyzed it if there were any curse embedded in it.

"By the way Azrael, what brings you here?" Ifrit asked.

Before Azael could answer, a gate opened and Stella stepped out. "Kazuki! The academy needs you now. Lord Griffin is dying."
