Chapter 61: An Opportunity.

Observing the boy's disregarding his warnings, the cloaked man created a fire bullet, his hands aglow with red energy. 

The boy simply snorted at him, and before the fiery projectile could reach its target, it was forcefully slammed into the ground.

Once again, the boy harnessed his ability, manipulating gravity to exert immense pressure on the trio. They were mercilessly crushed into the ground, their cries of pain silenced by the overwhelming force.

Having dealt with the trio, the boy left the scene with a cold, determined expression. His journey to gain power had just begun.

As he grew older, he gathered a group of like-minded followers who shared his interests and ambitions. Together, they laid the foundations for the establishment of a kingdom, marking the start of a new chapter in their quest for power and survival.

The boy changed his name and everyone came to know him as 'Arion'

His name was feared by everyone who knew his power and saw him in action.

By the time he reached the age of twenty, the boy who had once been thrust into the depths of despair had risen to become the king of all the surviving humans.

Beside him were two of his wives, both possessing formidable, awakened abilities. He aimed to construct a robust inner circle of trusted allies who would aid him in his conquest.

"- And that's how the kingdom came to existence" As seraphina stopped speaking she saw that half an hour went by, while she was discussing the stories of the past.

"Well that should satisfy your curiosity, I will be going now. I have many things to attend to."

With those words she walked out of the room, closing the gates of the room behind her. She leaned her back on the gate and a lone tear escaped her eyes.

'Look what you did, Arion. You became what you hated the most. Now you have to reap what you sow.'

Clearing her tears she gained a cold and determined look in her eyes.

' No matter what decision they make I will stay by their side. Always supporting them just like a mother should.'

She Started walking and left the area, leaving echoes off her step in the hallway.

Inside the room, the twins looked at the door with complicated emotions as they sighed. They understood her troubles very well, they were even surprised to see how quickly she made a decision. Yet they did not know what it was.

As the wheels of time turned, hours turned into days, days turned into months and months turned into a year. 

Many things happened during this one year, one was the fact that the twins reached level with their body strengthening skill. 

Watching the matches of the gerald boy helped them in enhancing their understanding of the ability. 

When it came to Luna and Keiran's respective Yin Yang ability, they could not make much progress in this one year. 

The fact that they have to hide their abilities from everyone while increasing their level did not help at all.

They found out skills that are not related to ether power have different levels to them.

Like their clear mind skill and Mystical senses, while they might use ether, they are the skills that are neither blessed by Ether nor they are related to any element. They can be acquired through two ways. 

One is to acquire when someone shares their understanding of the skill with you and the other way is through repeated practice. Once you have an idea of how to use Ether you can use it to create many of such skills.

One needs to be very high leveled to be able to even understand what ether fully is.

The level distribution for these skills are just divided in three categories. 

Adapt, expert and Perfection. Keiran and Luna reached the Adapt Level in both the skills. They were already advancing very fast for someone their age and that was due to two reasons. 

They were regularly using their innate bond to share their understandings of each skill and ability. While including the fact that they were already geniuses in a league of their own. 

Today, the twins have to attend another major event.

Today was the final match at the arena. The twins decided to join today's match officially. 

They were currently making their way towards the hall where everyone except Seraphina was surprised to see them as they said that they would never go to the arena again.

"What made you decide to join us today?"

Arion Spoke in a mocking tone looking at the duo entering the hall. 

They have grown up during this year, Keiran was already at a height of 5 foot 3 inch while Luna was a little behind him at 5 foot.

Their matching formal outfit highlighted their evolving charm. 

Keiran, hearing the mocking tone of the man, looked at him and replied with a plain tone.

"Just wanted to see if someone will be able to kill you tonight or not." 

His words caused a dead silence in the hall while the servants looked at the duo as if they had a death wish.

Seraphina's lips twitched, she was having trouble chuckling out loud.

Vein popped on Arion's forehead as he looked at the boy with cold eyes, taking a deep breath he replied as he started to walk ahead.

"Someone who can kill me hasn't been born yet."

His voice was laced with confidence and arrogance. His words made the servants look at him as if he was their god or something.

' You don't know how wrong you are.'

Keiran and Luna thought the same thing as their eyes glowed a little. Seaphina approached Keiran and chopped his head lightly.

"Don't go and speak such things openly. Let's go now."

Leaving those words behind she walked ahead and Erla followed behind her. Sighing they started to follow behind them while thinking.

'Today we might be able to see his abilities in action.'

They were joining today's event for the sole reason of watching him in action, the only thing they knew about his ability was that he can manipulate gravity. Their understanding of his ability was close to zero and today was a perfect opportunity for them to witness it.
