96 Chapter 96
The Infernal King was left inside the room all alone with his thoughts.
He just stood near the glass window, gazing outside. It was the world of the living... The realm where an undead like him shouldn't have been. Even the air of this place was disgusting to him.
Fortunately, he appeared to control himself well, despite being in a place that he hated. He didn't try to leave anymore. If all he needed to do was to spend the night in the room, then he was going to do it.
However, he did keep glancing back at the place where he had seen that Spectre before.
Not long after Gabriel left the room, the Infernal King felt another powerful aura getting closer. The aura was strange. It was filled with life, yet it was something that he could feel being quite powerful.
The aura was definitely stronger than what Gabriel had at the moment. He was really curious about just what kind of people there were in this realm and who had that peculiar aura, but he controlled his curiosity.
For someone like him, who often did what he wanted without caring about a single thing, it was quite challenging to stop himself.
The Infernal King didn't know that it was someone who was considered to be something akin to a god in this world. He was sensing the aura of Elora, despite being so far away.
The Infernal King stared at the moon, which was so different here. They also had a moon in their realm, but their moon was quite different. Their moon was a darker shade of red.
The Infernal King was distracted by the moon, but he soon came out of his daze as he sensed another presence in the room.
He swiftly turned around, noticing that the Spectre was now inside the room.
The specter just floated in the air as if observing the Infernal King from closer.
The Infernal King clenched his fist.
"It's you!"
Shockingly, the Infernal King spoke at the sight of the Spectre. His voice was slightly hoarse and made it seem as if he really did have a hard time communicating, but he could at least speak.
Despite being able to speak, there was not a single person who had heard his voice... At least no one other than the ones that were present in the room at the moment.
Without thinking twice, the Infernal King attacked the Spectre, but before he could even get close, the Spectre again disappeared.
The specter disappeared from the room, leaving the Infernal King all alone.
The Infernal King could still feel that presence though. He once again turned to the glass doors, noticing the Spectre standing on top of the same building as before, once again.
The Infernal King was so uneasy for some reason that he was showing expressions that he had never revealed before. It was as if he knew that Spectre! Not only did he know the Spectre, but he also appeared to have an intrinsic hate for the Spectre!
In his anger, he decided to chase after the Spectre and leave the room!
Unfortunately, just as he was about to attempt to leave the room, he felt that dreaded headache again.
Despite the pain, he didn't fall to his knees this time, but he also couldn't leave the room. The more he thought about it, the worse that pain became. Ultimately, he took a step back, breathing heavily!
He was like a caged Bird who wanted to leave but couldn't! He hated it!
The Spectre's figure flickered. The next moment, he appeared on the balcony, on the other side of the glass door.
p
The Infernal King stepped closer to the glass door, realizing something. So what if he couldn't leave the room? That didn't mean he couldn't do anything else.
The flames in Infernal King's eyes flickered even brighter, getting slightly darker as well. If he couldn't leave the room, he was going to destroy the specter without leaving the room!
He raised his left hand. As if copying him, the Spectre also raised its left hand. As soon as the Specter raised his left hand, a mountain of pressure landed on the Infernal King that pressed down on him!
He was as if the pressure wanted to force him to his knees, but the Infernal King resisted! A dark fire lit up around the Infernal Sorcerer, giving him what seemed like an armor of flames! The flames made him fight the pressure as well.
Despite the pressure, the Infernal King was able to stay standing. Another fire lit up at the moment, but that fire was around the specter! The fire was similar to the fire that burned the Damphirs to ashes. Just like the Damphirs, the Spectre didn't move even as the fire burned around his body!
Surprisingly, the Infernal Sorcerer was so precise in his control of the fire that the fire didn't even touch the floor, leaving no burning marks on the balcony floors.
Even though the Infernal King was trying to kill the Spectre, he still had the help that Gabriel wanted in the back of his mind. Gabriel had told him the plan, and there needed to be no stranger evident left behind that he left the floor. The burning marks outside could've been hard to explain, making the Infernal King only target the Spectre!
If the Infernal King didn't have to be so precise because of Gabriel, someone like him would've destroyed the entire building with the Spectre in his rage, maybe even the whole Academy!
The Spectre stood in the middle of the Flames, not even attempting an escape. However, the outcome with him was different.
The Damphirs couldn't leave because they didn't even know they were being burned. Their consciousness was distracted by the Infernal King, but this wasn't the same with the Spectre. Even the Infernal King couldn't sleep the Spectre's mind hostage! The Spectre stayed there out of his own wish.
"Boom!"
The pressure on the Infernal King only intensified as well. He couldn't help but take a few steps back to balance himself.
