Ch. 28 'Evil Knight'

Meanwhile, in the S club room, Scarlet read a book written by the knight of the Oracle. Even though she had read it over and over until it was imprinted in her brain, she never got tired of reading it.

Alas, she read it not because she liked it, but out of fear. Afraid that everything written in the book will happen.

One of the knights in this generation will make his appearance and became a threat to this world. Meanwhile, other knights will work together to defeat this evil knight.

It said the knight they would be facing had a unique ability. If it was a unique skill, the probability of becoming an evil knight was a colorless knight. Only this knight had different mastery in each generation. And their abilities were scarce and unique.

But she also could not immediately accuse the colorless knight. The purple and gold knight also had unique skills that others didn't have. She had to be wary of every knight she met.

Scarlet closed the book and leaned back in her chair while closing her eyes.

What should she do? She also hadn't told this to her friends. If she could, she wanted her fellow knights wouldn't be an evil knight.

At present, the only people aside from her who know about the prophecy were her father and Edward. Even though she hoped nothing would happen, she knew she still had to prepare everything as written in the book.

The book said that the knights would need Time Master's power to defeat this evil knight. But all of her life, she did not know the origin of the time controllers, there was not even a book that mentioned the time controllers. She didn't realize that time-controllers even existed.

And yet, this afternoon, she had just witnessed the power of time-controllers. Unfortunately, Niken was not the person she was looking for. Niken was not the Time Master she was looking for.

Suddenly, Scarlet woke up and immediately hid her book when she felt someone was coming. She was relieved when the door opened, and Edward entered.

"Did something happen?" Edward asked worriedly.

"Nothing. Have you looked into it?"

"I have. When Richard was awake, I asked where they were from bluntly. But, Richard said..."

"What did he say?"

"He said he and Niken were found in front of the orphanage when they were five. They remember nothing that had happened to them. They didn't know who their family was or where they came from. All they remember is their name. So..."

"So we are back to zero again." sighed her sadly.

For the past five years since Scarlet became the Knight of Flames, she and Edward sought out the legendary The Great Time Master.

They looked for his origin, even the place where the time controllers lived.

But the results were futile as they found nothing. Nobody knew where they lived. Nobody even knows that time controllers existed.

When she met Niken, who accidentally used her strength, Scarlet hoped she could find the time-controller she was looking for. Or at least their origin. She will, without a doubt, go directly to that place to find the Time Master.

She only needed a clue. But now her hope evaporated in the air without a trace.

"You're okay?" Edward asked, embracing his fiancée.

Scarlet put her head on Edward's shoulder comfortably. "I hope I can find her. I hope I can find Princess Xiao Yue."

"We will. We surely will find her."

Sring! Sring!

A light sound was heard along with shining illumination on a small round stone. It was her foni stone.

Foni stone was a communication tool made of their energy. Each Elementalist had to go to a white mountain to get a foni stone that only could be found there.

The foni stone could absorb many energies and link those energies to other foni stone. The shapes were also different as it depended on the owner's wishes.

The first time an Elementalist found the foni stone, they would drop their blood above the rock. Then they inserted their elemental energy to the stone. After that, they would let the friends add a little of their energy into the stone.

That way, every time someone wanted to contact the owner of the stone, they would activate the stone's energy to link the other's stone.

Those stones were called foni stones. The function was quite similar to our world phones only in different ways of use and had different shapes.

Scarlet picked her foni stone that glowed in golden light. She knew right away who was calling her at the moment.

"Hello? Hokuto?"
